ESPNs Jordan Reid First Look at the 2022 Draft Class

daily dose of Miami Dolphins football. And on today's show, it's part two of our interview with ESPNS Jordan Reid. We're taking a look at the college football season that was in and get Jordan's top three players by position for this previous college football season, which now is a rap moving into bull season. From the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex. This is the Drive

Time Podcast Miami Dolphins. Let's go ahead and pick it right back up with part two of my interview with ESPN Jordan Read and joining us now for the second consecutive Drive Time Podcast. Happy to have him on, Jordan Read. Jordan, welcome back into my friend. Always a pleasure being here, Travis. Thanks as always. If you guys didn't hear the first part of this podcast, Jordan told us about one rookie class to a tongue by Lowes development, and much much more.

He also we also did the congratulations about getting hired by ESPN, a dream come true for him and for so many folks that kind of worked this this career path in the draft industry. So if you haven't heard that episode, go ahead and go back check it out. And Jordan's Christmas is coming up right around the corner. You've got those two little girls. What are you getting them for Christmas? Man? I need some ideas. Help me out here, man. So we're still in the stage of Disney.

Everything is Disney right now. So we're dealing with Mowanna. We're on Mickey and Minni Mouse right now. So just trying to get everything Disney related right now. So, I mean, there's no limits anything Disney. We're gonna have on at the Christmas Tree this year. That's incredible. It's be our first Christmas where she's actually like capable of opening presents. Last year she was a little bit too young. But now right around twenty months, I think I cannot wait

to watch her terror and two gifts. I don't even care what I get her. She's not gonna care either. She played with the boxes that she gets more than anything. So that's that's about where we're at. But Jordan, we wanted to have you on today because you know, I want to have you help me and my audience understand better this college football landscape. It's been a fun season. I don't get to watch as much of the live broadcast anymore because I'm so busy with with the Dolphins

and everything. But I wanted to go position by position here and would you be able to give me your top three players by position from one season. Yeah, I mean, this has been a very fun college season so far, and I mean, let's get right into it. I'm excited, you bet. Let's go ahead and start with the position you used to play, the cubes, the quarterbacks. Let's go, baby,

what're your top three quarterbacks this last season? Yeah? So this past season, this past college season, I should say, has been very exciting, and it's been a little bit different as far as the quarterbacks, just because we've been so spoiled with a quarterback class over the past two or three years. I mean, you guys took one with two A tongue by Lowe who's turned into a terrific player,

Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Kyler Murray. I mean, the list goes on and on, and some of these quarterbacks that we have seen, and even last year's Big Five with Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields, Trey Lance, Mac Jones, and Zach Wilson too. But the thing that's a little bit different about this class is that there's no consensus one guy at the top. But the one that you will hear pretty much for the most part or the betterment up until April. I think he's Kenny Pickett from pitt and

he's been phenomenal this year. I mean, he's throwing the record forty two touchdown passes in the a sec. Terrific background, was a three sport athlete coming out baseball player, basketball player, was a point guard coming out to And you know, the thing that I love about Kenny is that you know, he plays exactly to his strengths and he may not be as physically gifted as some of the other quarterbacks in this class, but when it comes down to in

the NFL, is can you win from the pocket? And he has a decision making that you're looking for he's very accurate. I think he probably has a B level on him right now. Looking forward to I'm hoping he plays in the Senior Bowl. I think he could help him.

I think he could help himself significantly if he goes down there and plays well in Mobile And you're hearing a lot of there may not be a quarterback drafted in the top ten, but I think if Pickett goes down there and plays well, I think he could enter into the discussions of going inside the top ten. But you know, last year, I should say his junior season, he battled through an ankle injury. He got hurt in the fifth game of the season, so you see him

limping around and he's battling through. But he was really finally got healthy this year, and you saw that in this game. He acquired a newfound mobility ability. You saw him with the fake slide and the a c C Championship game, taking it fifty plus yards in that game in the big win over Wake four. So Kenney Pickett is the guy that you're going to hear about at

the top. And then the other two to round out just the top three, Matt Corral from Old Miss who's done a heck of a job this year in that lane, Kiff and the offense once again, those disc or that throws that you see a lot of the r P O game. He's really good in that area. And then the thing about corre All is that he just needed

to take care of the football. And you know, he had eleven interceptions the two games alone during his Richard sophomore season, has six against l s U and then excuse me, six against Arkansas and five against l s U. And that's reduced all the way down to four interceptions total this year, so he's done a much better job of taking care of the ball. And then the last one I think could be up for debate. You can see Sam how from North Carolina. You can see Malik

Willis from Liberty. You can see Carson Strong from Nevada, and then Desmond Ritterd from Cincinnati, who has a big opportunity here in the College Football Playoff in his first game against Alabama, and then he's already accepted his invitations to the Senior Bowl. So he's probably the one player of anybody throughout any position that has the most game over the next few weeks in the College Football Playoff.

I'm glad you keep going back to the Senior Bowl because what a job Jim Naggie has done there to get that game to where it is with all of these first round and second round, third round picks and of course the rest of the draft too, but he just loads that game up with talent every single year, and this would be a good chance, like you mentioned, for Desmon Murder to get out there and maybe Slitt find him himself as what would you say, a possible first round pick. Maybe it just depends if he plays

well at the Senior Bowl. I think we could see him start to enter the back end of those first round discussions. And then also if he goes out and he played with plays well against Alabama and they end up winning that game. I mean, we've seen how the college football playoffs can really skyrocket the draft stock of a lot of guys, and we know the postseason All

star circuit can really help guys too. Yeah, the the the I don't want to use the word uncertainty, but I will around the quarterback position going in because, like you mentioned, all these loaded classes where you knew going in you had you know, I used the air quote generational types. You had your your risers and all these

guys that have produced such a high level. I think it makes for even more intrigue going into the draft when you don't have those four or five guys across the board that you certainly know about as top ten, top fifteen Lettle picks. Let's move on now to a position that's also in the backfield, the running backs. I think, uh, the last couple of years we've seen some pretty good classes as well. Does this one kind of match up

and what are your top three guys? Well, it's not as loaded and we as we have seen in years past, even going back to the nineteen class, which was really really talented in as well. I think both of those classes were loaded. I don't think there's similar to quarterback. I don't think there's no consensus guy at the top. It's just a matter of which type of flavor, what Scoopa ice cream really flows your boat, whatever type that

you like. And you know, Breece Hall from Iowa State is one that you're gonna hear a lot about resting touchdown straight um, which was an FBS record that he said this year Iowa, Isaiah Spiller from Texas A and m is another name that you're here about. Kenneth Walker, the third from Michigan State, who was phenomenal this year after he transferred over from Wake Forest. And I mean there's plenty of other names that you go on and on and about. I really liked the senior backfield class too.

You're talking about James Cook, Alvin Cook's younger brother down at Georgia, who's been used sparingly, but I think he's gonna be a much better pro now that he's gonna be in a be a bit, He's gonna be able to shine a little bit more in a committee backfield. You have m Abram Smith from Taylor, who I think is an underrated player, to Brian Robinson Junior from Alabama,

and the list goes on and on. As you can see, I think there's no headliner in this class, but as far as the depth of the group, I think you can really find some guys late day two, early day three that can come in and be those immediate type of commedia backfield contributors. Didn't Georgia start Cook in the

SEC title game? Yeah? They did, and that was after he had been kind of the backup all season long, right, Yeah, And another guy in the backfield, Jamir White, with him probably going to be a late round guy that I think going to be helpful in the committee too. I know you're a former co worker Kyle Crabs love Kyle crabs her on the Drivetime podcast. Now you do you do as well? He's a big, a big fan of um. The other running back White there at Georgia. So good

company there. Let's go ahead and move onto the receiver position. I have one guy that I've really zoned it on that I love watching this season. I'm just gonna wait and see if you mention him. But go ahead and talk about your receivers. Jordan's Yeah. So this class, it doesn't have the star power at the top like we saw with Jamar Chase and Jalen Waddle and DeVante Smith

a year ago. But I really like the depth of this class, especially in the first two rounds, and I think we could see as many as five and six guys go in the top forty. We've seen what Jamison Williams at Alabama has been able to do in the SEC Championship game, and it's crazy that he's fighting for that one, that wide receiver one title of the guys that he was in the same wide receiver room with a year ago this time last year with Chris Olive

and Garrett Wilson. Who are some other guys that I think are gonna be fighting to be in that wide receiver one discussion two And I think both of those guys could end up going in the first round. But I mean, and we didn't even talk about guys like Drake London from USC who was leading the FBS and receptions prior to suffering the lower extremity injury that he suffered. John Dodson from Penn State is another name that really

has a lot of people excited. But one of my favorite players in this class as a whole is Trailing Burke's from Arkansas. He really reminds me of a J. Brown from not an Old Miss, that linebacker type build that has plenty of speed to combine with that. So I really like what this wide receiver class has to offer, especially in the first round. Trailing Brooks has been a breaking Twitter time he makes a catch, it's always a highlight reel catching he makes it under in Arkansas. He's

he's impressive. But the guy you actually didn't match My guy produced David Bell. I've been a big fan of his game. Yeah, he he actually just put a Twitter post up saying that he's not gonna play in the Bowl game. Him and Carl Liftis. I don't think they're gonna play in the Bowl game, but they did officially

declare for the NFL Draft. But yeah, David Bell, I mean, one of the best route runners, and you know, he's probably I think he's probably gonna run in the four or five range, But when you turn on the tape,

he just understands how to naturally get open. And he had I believe it was um he had to produe record of five two yard games in his career, and I mean he just set the record books on fire when he was there, And everybody talked about Rondale Moore been a number one option when he was there, when David Bell really was the guy that was consistently producing when Randale Moore was battling his ailments and things that

he was going through from an injury standpoint. But Bill has been able to constantly produce when he's been in the lineup. It kind of reminds me of like you have these different class of receivers in terms of what they do well. Like Michael Thomas and Terry McLaurin, two guys that come to mind is dudes that were just route running experts at the moment they entered the NFL. Can I see something similar with David Bell when I

watched him on tape there for due? How about the tight end class, Jordan, This is the area that I sometimes overlook. I don't know why, for whatever reason, tight ends just kind of go past the by the wayside for me. Can you help educate me on this position? Yeah? So this is a group that is being really underrated right now in my opinion, just because there once again like quarterback and then Asto running back, where there's just

no consensus guy at the top. But I think one that's really gonna rise to the top eventually, especially when we talk about the postseason All Star Game, is Trey McBride from Colorado State. He's about six ft four two and sixty pounds. He was everything for that offense this year.

He had ninety catches for over or nearly yards, but only at one touchdown, So a little bit of a weird stat now, he had so many yards and so many receptions but was only able to get in the end zone one time, but it's because the defenses were so fixated on him where they were able to keep him out of the end zone. But he's your versatil guy. He can line up in line, he can line up to the hip of the tight end, you can all excuse me, the hip of the offensive tackle, and then

you can flex him out too. I think he's probably a B plus level blocker. Still has some technique things that he needs to clean up as far as running his feet on contact, but he I mean, he really loves the process of understanding how the block and then just getting involved in the mix of delble teams or offensive tackles too. So Trey McBride is probably going to be that guy that I think ends up as the

consensus number one guy. Then after that you have players like Jaden Jalen Widermeyer from Texas and then who got a lot of buzz coming into the year, had a really good year, to Cold Turner from Nevada who proved to be one of Carson Strong's best options down in Nevada. Two. And then there's some other players that you're gonna hear about two that I think are gonna rise to the top eventually too. So I'm really excited about this tight end class. And once again there's no consensus at the top,

but there's a lot of depth through out. Not like last year with Kyle pitts On not the same deal there, yeah, much much different players. We got a chance to watch him in training camp this UH this past August, and he was fun to watch. Eric Road did a good job on him though without the course of that week, I was a lot of fun for us to watch. Down here. Let's keep it on that particular part of the field, the offensive line. Kick in side here a little bit. Talk to us about this class here, Jordan.

You can talk about tackles, guard, tenners, whatever you want. Just want to have you education on offensive line playing college football. I think this offensive taper classes loaded. And the crazy thing about it is that we've seen so many good offensive taper classes over the past few years.

They just consistently keep turning them out college football. I mean, Evan Neil from Alabama is the one that you're canna hear about at the top, six ft seven three and sixty pounds, just a mammoth sized human being, but also a really good athlete. To eat him and Kwandu from NC State is another player that I had an opportunity to see live against Wake Forest and he was the real deal. It was every bit of everything that thought

he would be in person. There's some there's some mix of pains as far as is he a guard, is the a tackle? I think he's shown plenty enough at left tackle this year to show that he can survive out there on an island by himself. Charles Cross from Mississippi State, who is one of my favorites of the bunch, only a richer sophomore this year, so we'll see if he ends up declaring in the end. An underrated FCS player that really has risen through the ranks since summer

scouting is Trevor Penny from Northern Iowa. Another player that you'll probably start to see here in first round Montrafts Northern Iowa. Is he going to the Senior Bowl? Yes, he's like he was the first selection of the first acceptance of the Senior Bowl. I love that these smaller school guys, they always seem to find their way down like a Quinn Miners or a uh Ali Marpett. It seems like every single year we get a guy that goes down there, that comes up and has a big

week and then gets drafted in the top couple of rounds. There. Let's go ahead and go over to the defensive side here in Miami is very deep at this position into your defensive lineman. Who are some guys you like there? Yeah, And you know, this is one position that hasn't been very good as far as the depth at the top over the past few years. In Christian Barmer is one player that we've seen really had a really good year, but Lynn McGill levi Wzoreka help in Detroit. There are

two other players that have been contributors. So while there hasn't been the star war that we have seen in years past, you know, like a Quentin Williams or some of the other players that we have seen amongst the interior defensive line class in years past, I think this class is very similar and that there's not a bunch of star power at the top. And I think this is one of the weaker position groups across the board,

whether it's offense or defense. So some players that I do like, obviously you're gonna hear about Jordan Davis down at Georgia, who I think is that two down front stuff for that is very reminiscent of Lynbaal Joseph when he was coming out of e Cu end up being a second round pick. Perry On Winfrey from Oklahoma is another player that I think is probably gonna rise as

the draft process goes along. They had a little bit of an unconventional defensive line rotation there at Oklahoma, so he would be in form the first series of the game and then you wouldn't see him again until about the third or the fourth series of the second quarters. They had a little bit of a weird rotation there at Oklahoma. But I think he's a player that once he gets more exposure or playing time, I think he's only going to get better and we're gonna see an

opportunity for him down to the Senior Bowl too. Once again, another player that could rise through the ranks. Um. You know some other players that I liked at the position. For Darien Mathis from Alabama, He's I think he's a three down player that showed a lot more juice down the back stretch of the year. You saw him make plays all up and down the field in the SC title game, and then Devonte Wyatt from Georgia who was

Jordan Davis's running mate along the interior. So while there isn't a bunch of star power at the top, I think there's some players that you can really fill out your depth chart with this group with. I can't even fathom Jordan Davis a size. There's that photo of him where he's with one of his teammates might have been who you just mentioned. And then also a staffer who's like a normal size human being, and Jordan Davis towers over not just the normal size human being, his teammate too.

It's it's hard to comprehend how big that man is. Yeah, it actually it was Davante if he would standing aside, and I think why, it's like six three three hundred pounds and he just towered over. I've never seen the crazier po that. Oh man, let's go ahead and keep this rolling hare out to the outside off the edge there. What do you think about us edge class coming into December here bull season? I love it. I think this is by far the strongest position group across the board

of any offense or defense in this draft class. And we've seen Aidan Hudginson. The year that he's been able to put together, how well he stood out in the game against Ohio State. He's been doing that all year, said a Michigan single game or single season record and sacks this year. And then the other player that we're probably gonna see jockey and back and forth for the possible number one overall selection is Cavon Thibodeaux from Oregon, who has been able to create constant pressure this year,

and he's been a little bit banged up. He had an ankle injury that he suffered against Fresno State, and I thought he showed some spurts of where he looked like the number one overall pick. But I think it's gonna come down to with those two whether you want the more polished player walking through the door, or do you want to take the more high upside type of athletes.

And I think with Thibodeaux, he reminds me a lot of Daveon Clowney coming out of South Carolina, where you saw the splash plays, but you want to see a little bit more of those in between type of impacts in that gray area of when he's not making those splash plays. So Hutchinson. I think he's a little bit more diverse as far as his hand usage, his creativity and then what he's able to do off of the edges and run defender two. But I mean outside of that,

we have plenty of other players. George Kyle Loftus is another player that you're gonna hear about a lot. He just declared for the two NFL draft. Traymond Walker from Georgia is another player that's still trying to figure out the song of this part said about six ft five, two ninety pounds. I think he's gonna start to creep up a little bit more draft wars too, So I'm really excited about this edge class. Do you think that first pick will be either Thibodeaux or Um Hutchinson. Yeah,

I think so. And you know we're still five months away from the draft, so we can't speak in absolute but Um, if I had to guess right now, and if I had to put one down and Sharpie and and who I had to guess would go number one over all definitely be one of those two. Will you

give me which one do you think it is? So I'm leaning towards Hutchison just because you know, It's a great story him staying in state in Michigan angle him being the Michigan guy stand And this is assuming Detroit gets the number one overall pick, but it would be a great story for him being staying at home, being a hometown kid, and then going on to be the number one overall pick. He just seems like a Dan Campbell type of guy, just the way he loved the game.

So I would go with Hutcheson right now. Yeah, he would pair well there with the defensive tackles I drafted this year and brought into Detroit this past season. I'm also hoping to get across the street here and go watch that Georgia Michigan game and get a chance to look at him firsthand. You're gonna be any of the college playoff games, Jordan's So I'm not gonna be at the college football playoff. Um, that's something I'm still working

out the kingswith. I'm still a new guy at ESPN, so um, that's something that I do plan to do next year. I definitely want to get there for the next year's college Football Playoff, but I will be at the Duke Mayo Bowl between South Carolina North Carolina crossing my fingers that Sam How does play in that game, so I want to see him throw a live But also South Carolina has an edge rusher that I want

to see in Kingsley, Kingsley and Knagbury. He's a player that I think is going to be in contention to be a top forty pig. So A crossing my fingers that both of those guys do end up playing. But if they don't, it's completely understandable. I'll cross my fingers for you on that too. And if you do come down for an Orange Bowl, look me up. We'll get together and and hang out. Let's go ahead and knock out these other three position groups here, starting with the

off ball linebackers. What do you think about that group? Jordan's Yeah, I like this group a lot, especially at the top. Nakobe Deane from Georgia is one player that you hear about, and he's a player that I say he just plays like he has an energy. He just plays like he has a battery back in his back and it doesn't lose any not just on the battery at all. And he was the catalyst of that vauntage

Georgia defense. Proud of them playing in Alabama. Of course, we were talking about this possibly being one of the best college defenses ever, but it doesn't take long to find number seven team where you're looking up that defense and there's so many talent to players on that group. It says a lot with him still still being able to stick out amongst his peers, in his counterparts in that defense. And another player that I absolutely love is

Devin Lloyd from Utah. We saw what he was able to do in the PAC twelve championship game and converted safety um and he still has those loose movements that you see at the position. Fantastic and coverage, run hit type of linebacker was the physicality portions of the game. Has six and a half sacks this year, so that goes to show you that he's having a negative effect behind the line of scrimmers too. Yeah, fantastic goods value too.

So I really like what Devin Lloyd brings to the table. Uh. And then the last linebacker that I wanted to mention, I think is an underrated player who was in the Kobe Dean's running mate was Channing Tendall. Never started a game at Georgia, but he's still was George's leading tackling, which I think says a lot about him. And he's about six ft two two and thirty pounds and once again another player that will see down at the Senior Bowl. I think he's quickly gonna rise up draft boards just

because he's gonna test really, really well. I really hope I get a chance to see Van Lloyd the Rose Bowl and he doesn't opt out for that game, because that wud be a fun one to watch for for college football fans everywhere and draft fans as well. Two more possession groups Jordans with the cornerbacks, Pat uh We had pass for Tango last year. He's having a great season so far this year. Is it still derekstintly the

top of that class? Tv D? I say to be decided and you see extinctly go at the top of my draft right now. But that twenty nineteen season kinda has lost a little bit of his luster, especially with him being banged up over the past two years. But

he still was a really good player. But it's just a matter of do you trust that elite level of play transitioning all way over from nineteen and he has some things that he needs to clean up as far as the injury, the durability stuff that he needs to go through, but as far as the patients um, just the technique that he plays with and just how dependable

of a man covered corner that he could be. He reminds me a lot of Marshawn Lattimore when he was coming out of Ohio State and we saw an immediate impact that he was able to make being the defensive Rickie of the year, and then just how well of a career he's going on to half So extinctly still is the guy at the top, but it's just a

matter of him answering some of those durability questions. But this group overall was by far my favorite the study of any of these groups, because I mean, we couldn't see as many as four or five guys go in the first round, and after stingly you're talking about tire elm from Florida, a player who has a very notable name as uncle was actually matt Eland that was the first round pick for the Baltomore Ravens a few years ago. Andrew Bluth junior from Clemson who really came on during

the back stretch of the year. Last time we saw him was against South Carolina. He had two interceptions, should have been three in that game. Trim McDuffie is another name that through here from Washington. And then another player that I got to see live that I was blown away by. It was a my Soace Gardener from Cincinnati. Uh. He's every bit of six ft three about I would say he's probably about one ninety two d and nine pounds.

But if you're looking for a good on good matchup that I think is gonna be box office worthy, watch him against Jamison Williams in the college football playoffs. You're talking about two players that I think are probably gonna be near the top or at the top of their positions. Yeah. I was gonna say, my eyes probably won't leave that matchup in that game coming up here on New Year's Eve. Now, you talked a little bit about there about Kayer Ellen and Matt Ellen, who was a safety. Go ahead and

finish up there, Jordan. I'm one of these weird guys that loves watching the safeties. I've heard the other draft. You know, people gurus and analysts don't really prefer it because it's you only get a few notable impact plays per game. Do you feel that same way, And I was talking about your safety class here. Yeah, I think it's the most difficult position to evaluate, just because let's just say you're talking about a free safety or you're studying and free safety and he's just sitting on the

roof the entire game. But if you get a team that runs the ball thirty or thirty or five times in that game, they're just sitting back there, not doing anything. So you just feel like you wasted a whole hour watching this guy when you the same clean notepad that you had coming to the evaluation. You don't know anything

about it. So it's just a matter of with safeties, you just have to be really patient when you're evaluating them, just because there's some games where they don't do absolutely anything. But those games that you do, you do see them wearing different hats or satisfying the roles and then playing in You just have to take as much as you can from those games. So you have to be patient with those safety evaluations, and I think it's by far

the most difficult position to evaluate. Yeah, I agree, I agree with you on that, But at the same time, when they do show up, and that's why I get so excited about because they do come down and appear on the screen. It's like, oh, okay, he can play a little bit like I remember Derwin James is that way for me, and then obviously Javon Holland too recently. But who is who are those guys this year? Who's

your possible top draft picks this year? At safety? I mean it all starts with Kyle Hamlets at the top. I mean we're talking about a player that possibly could go in the top five or six peaks and he's that term that we like to use in scouting and that he's just a unicorn. And everybody has seen the play that he made against Florida State of where he was the single as safety becomes all the way out off the center of the center field and then he comes all the way to the out of bounds line

and makes an interception. Just having that type of range, the fluidity at six ft four two hundred and fifteen pounds and come down heel the way that he does and being able to strike ball carriers behind the line of scrimmage, has those long strides, He's able to cover a lot of ground, very physical as a run defender, two. But I think the one question that he's gonna have to answer on the next level is just man coverage, just because he wasn't used in that faceted lot at

Notre Dame outside of the red zone. The red zone is really the only area of where they used them in the red zone, and then when they did, he got a couple of holding penalty. So it's just a

matter of him getting more exposure in that area. But he's that type of player that makes everybody's job easier on the first and second level just because of the ground that he's able to cover in the hats that he's able to wear on the third level, and it's kind of like as you mentioned that Derwin James affected, where he's able to play so many different positions. Do you think he can wind up as a second pick in the draft after one of those defense events goes off,

or maybe third behind both of them. I don't think so, just because of the position of value. It's very rare to see his safety goes that early. I don't think we've had a safety go top three since like the nineteen eighties. The status escaping me. I actually looked it up this morning. I think it was like eighty one the last time we saw safety go top three, so I don't think he'll go that early, but I think, you know, top eight. I could see somebody investing in

him that early. But this safety class is loaded and that's we did this out yesterday and that I think we could see as many as you know, six or seven go in the top one. And Jordan Battle from Alabama is one that I have enjoyed studying. We saw what he was able to do with the pick six in the SEC championship game. He really could add too if you would have caught the one in the first quarter. He's really played well during the back stretch of the season.

Jaquan and Brisker is another player that I think is probably gonna get first round considerations from Penn State. He's that true traditional for free safety that I think also could come down and play in the box to the way that they have been able to use him. And you know one that I liked that I think is really underrated as Brian Cook from Cincinnati. I was able to see him play live along with my gardener down

to East Carolina. I was really impressed by him. Daxton Hell was another player from Michigan that you're here about. That's played more of a nickel slot role, and I think that's probably what he's gonna have to be on the next level. So there's so many different shapes and sizes that these guys come in and different roles and they can satisfy. I would like to safety class a lot from top to bottom. That's awesome to hear Jordan,

and the entire thing was awesome. Man. We appreciate your time so much today I'll let you get out of here. You been for the last hour, so I appreciate you taking some time. How you're did to make that happen. Where can people find you? And when does your workload as far as publishing content really ramp ups? We can

we can consume that as much as we possibly can. Yeah, so you can find me on Twitter at Jordan's Underscore read that's j O. R D A in Underscore r E I D on Twitter, and then you can find all my work on ESPN dot com. Just have one article a week coming out right now. But once once we hit January and then postseason All Star Game circuit starts to ramp up, you start to see me more

on sports Center. You'll see me more with Mail Kuyper and Todd mcshaye on some of our draft date type of profiles on each team and then position groups and things of that nature too. So I'm excited about doing all of that stuff, So be on the lookout for all of that. Yeah, man, I'm excited to watch all that and see you do your thing. Man again. Congratulations, And you got your check checkmark back, didn't you. Yeah,

I got it back. That was on me though. I changed my name by accident and then I lost it. I didn't know if you change your name on Twitter that you lose your check one. So luckily, i'll ESPN was able to help me get that back. So yeah, I have to have that bad. Nice little flex there from the from the from the from the brand. They're not not too bad, Jordan. Thanks again, man, I'll let you get out of here. We appreciate your time today, my friend, no problem. Thanks as always, Travings, thanks for

deserving than Jordan Reads. Awesome to see. I cannot wait to watch him do his like like I mentioned on television with Milk Kuiper on Sports Center, all that fun stuff.
