Not dapping up his new head coach in Ducks green prior to his first appearance in Autzen Stadium in Oregon's spring game in late April. Not the presumptive starter for a College Football Playoff contender. No, he wasn't supposed to be anywhere near Eugene. That wasn't the initial plan or one ever envisioned.
