And I had hopes that he would be a good back-up for us
Boy was I wrong.
Apparently - and this is according to a lot of the players who know him, I think Whitworth said something about him anonymously donating a lot of his time to homeless food pantries as well - Anchrum is a fantastic person who always gives back. You want nothing but the best for those players, even if they don't make it. Mardy Gilyard was another one like that (what he did for the kid he accidentally ran into and his whole backstory).
You always want those guys to kick ass and take names in the pros, and there's no shame in wanting to think that they're going to be awesome for us.
Yes, I had high hopes for Anchrum myself because you always have high hopes for the people you like. I have zero ill will toward him and wish him the best.
