Several well-known figures in the football world also took notice of it. Robert Gryphon III, an ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback, shared the post with the caption, “That Naysayer built the arc.”
This alludes to a now-viral “College GameDay” moment in which cohosts Rece Davis worried that he would use a racial slur while elaborating on the Alabama quarterback’s brand, “LANK,” which stands for “Let a Naysayer Know.” Most people who are familiar with Southern Indiana high school football are probably aware of Knigga. Let us have a look at who he is.
