Why he might be annoying:

    His attempts to get with the NFL were futile.
    He had mini-camp tryouts with the Panthers and Saints, but was not signed by either team.
    He was chosen to be Bachelor despite not being a contestant of the most recent -- or at least a previous -- season of Bachelorette (although he was friends with Bachelorette runner up Tyler Cameron).
    He was originally cast to be a contestant for Clare Crawley's Bachelorette season but filming was delayed due to Covid-19.
    ABC chose him mostly in response to a Change.org petition which reached 90,000 signatures calling for them to cast a 'Black Bachelor' (priorities).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was raised by a single mom.
    He was a wide receiver for Wake Forest Demon Deacons football team.
    He has worked at PNC Bank and a commercial real estate company.
    He is the first Black Bachelor in the franchise's history.
    His mother nominated him to be a contestant on The Bachelorette before she died.
    He's involved in various charities, including ABC Food Tours.
    He shows a great sense of humor and fun side on his Instagram account.
    He was partnered with Lindsay Arnold on Dancing with the Stars, finishing in 12th place (they were eliminated on week 4).
