The incident involving Mel Kiper and Bill Tobin is one of the most famous moments in NFL draft history. It all began in 1994 when Kiper, a well-known NFL draft analyst, made some comments about Tobin, the then-general manager of the Indianapolis Colts. Kiper had criticized Tobin's decision to draft linebacker Trev Alberts, saying that he would not have taken him in the first round.
Tobin, who was not a fan of Kiper's commentary, was asked about Kiper's comments during a live ESPN interview. When Kiper's name was mentioned, Tobin famously responded, "Who in the hell is Mel Kiper? I mean, here's a guy who criticizes everybody, whoever they take." The moment quickly went viral and has since become a part of NFL draft lore.. Pay homage.

Reviews
Softest shirt ever, fits great, and classic design
"Basically what the title says. The fit is especially great because I'm currently in that awkward stage between L and XL. So finding a L that fits well was awesome. Also, great classic design style, and the softness of the shirt is legit unparalleled. 5 stars. Can't wait to get more Crew gear from you, Homage."

meh
"Night and day compared to the HOMAGE shirts 10 years ago. Thinner fabric, lower quality print texture, and flimsy stitching. Still an OK shirt but it feels more like a knock off from Amazon than what made this company famous."
— Andrew M. (2/5)
Droppin' it like it's HOT!
"Oh Demon Drop, how we miss you. Exiled to Pennsylvania, and wishing you were still guarding the front gate. Since you were taken too soon, I shall remember your distinct drop sound with this brilliant tee."
— SCOTT F. (5/5)

Good shirt paying Homage the great Dave Parker
"As always, Homage shirts feel the best. Comfort that can't be matched. I love Dave Parker and only wish that the font was bigger to be a closer match to the actual shirt. But it's all good."
