Yeah, Janis definitely helped his draft stock by showing up big at the combine. He's a [b]dark horse type, whoever draft him will probably love his work ethic. I hope it's us who drafts him in the 3/4th rounds.

I really hope we grab this dude. Plus, I always root extra hard for white wide receivers because they're so rare these days.

A white wide receiver who is a dark horse????

The absurdity of racial thinking strikes again.

Origin of "dark horse" is not racial...but some of these comments have been. I'm assuming tongue in cheek?

Origin: The term began as horse racing parlance for a race horse that is not known to gamblers and thus is difficult to place betting odds on.

"The earliest-known mention of the concept is in Benjamin Disraeli's novel The Young Duke (1831). Disraeli's protagonist, the Duke of St. James, attends a horse race with a surprise finish: 'A dark horse which had never been thought of, and which the careless St. James had never even observed in the list, rushed past the grandstand in sweeping triumph.'"
