Every year the young men showing up to enter the pros at the NFL Draft dress in increasingly crazy styles.
But, Michigan linebacker Devin Bush may have turned the most heads in the fashion parade, showing up in what amounted to a black and white space pirate suit.
Naturally, it got clowned online.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Bush was drafted by Pittsburgh, the 10th overall pick, and most online just wanted to know who was his tailor, and what were they thinking.
Quarterback Kyler Murray, Oklahoma’s dynamic Heisman Trophy winner, was the first pick in the NFL draft, going to Arizona, and he showed up wearing a dark pink suit.
As for bypassing baseball, Murray had no qualms about the decision.
