This isn't quite accurate. Most mocks had Key as an early 1st rounder early in the 2017 season. After he had some injuries and poor performance, few mocks had him as a 1st rounder by the time of the Senior Bowl.

Is 13 months ago close enough?

Key mocked 13th overall to the Dolphins.

Fair enough. Maybe I was thinking of after the combine when some of the character concerns started coming out. He really fell off once teams took a closer look. Though, I think Gary will probably be a different story. He should shine at the combine, so he'll probably cement himself as a top 15 pick.

I believe Key flaked during the offseason and disappeared. Some family issue. That started the question marks on him. Also rumors of lackluster practice effort.
