"Do you worry about the approval of the reader? Not everyone's going to see eye to eye with you. The quarterback isn't trying to seize control of the piece you're about to read, but just doing what he always does naturally. Even while being interviewed, he's always interviewing. Sawyer wants the answer. He wants all the answers."
"Road trips were full of questions about whatever Sawyer saw out the window. He asked so many questions on his first airplane trip that Stan transcribed them all on his laptop -- which was later stolen. But nothing was more torturous than watching a movie with the kid. He wanted to know the ending. I would have to say, 'Sawyer, they have not given us that information yet.'"
"He's currently projected as a Day 3 pick -- maybe as high as a fifth-rounder, maybe he won't get drafted at all. Then he will have to figure out where he's going to restart his life. Right now, answers are in short supply. But wherever he ends up, he'll be starting at the bottom again. He's a curious prospect in a much-maligned quarterback class."
Sawyer Robertson, a 6-4, 220-pound quarterback from Baylor, stands out as a notable wild card in the 2026 NFL draft class. His defining characteristic is an insatiable curiosity that has shaped his entire life. From childhood road trips filled with questions to his natural tendency to interview others during conversations, Robertson's inquisitive nature is central to who he is. His father recalls transcribing questions from his first airplane trip and the challenge of watching movies with young Sawyer, who constantly wanted to know the ending. Now at 23, facing uncertainty about his NFL future with Day 3 draft projections, Robertson maintains this questioning approach. Despite the 2026 quarterback class receiving criticism, Robertson considers such evaluations disrespectful to his peers.
