Yeah, man, I mean remember those days being nervous, hoping to hear your name called. You actually heard his name called.

Yes, I wasn't nervous on the first day. I know that you aren't nervous. I don't know. There's always that one story of the guy that was spent on the first day. You were what I was golfing on the first day. Okay, Okay. I mean there's a lot of Spartan hopefuls eligible for this year's NFL drafts. We're going to get into that. We're going to cover those gentlemen. But you know, there's a lot of news that we got to talk about too. There's a lot of news. There's

just a lot of news we got to talk about. This AJ Hogard enters the in the NBA draft guys. Yeah, same thing with J Nakens. Uh, you gotta test the waters. That's almost a Hey, I'm gonna see what I gotta work on, and uh, if it's good, then I'm gonna I'm gonna go. If it's not, then I know what I need to work on the off season and get for the next season. But if we all know what a J did in that stretch of the NCAA tournament, and so if we have that a J consistent the entire season, the

sky's the limit. So he has he's six' four and a big guard, and he can get to the to the rack and get to the hole. Uh you kind of look at the guards of the NBA and see what he's doing. I feel like he needs to work on But I didn't play at that level, so I can't. I can't be a guy that gives you the critics like Jay you thinking that he ain't ready. So I don't know. I'm waiting for Ju's a take on it. What you mean, J You thinking he ain't ready? Never ready, Brian, he ain't ready

ready like a j Holguard. His announcement caught me by surprise. I thought he was a guy that would actually go and sooner. I don't know if he was waiting for Achin to do it or I don't know if that was like the push that you know, said hey, you know I'm going to do it now because you know someone else is in it. But you know, I can't fault him for dipping his toe in the water and checking it out to get a draft grade, to see what can happen. Can't fault

him at all. I'm all for people going and making money, so but do I selfishly as a Spartan fan, as a Spartan dog, Yes, I want to see him come back, but you know, as a athlete, as a guy that wants the best for him, I want him to do what's best for his family. But the good news is in the NBA you're allowed to test the waters and come back. Kind of like the conversation we had on Tuesday, you and I ja you about the transfer portal, being able to go in to see if there's somebody a suitor and if not,

you can come back. But you know we already know what happened there. We'll get into that in a minute, but right now, A J. Holgard does put his name Elgent for the NBA draft, he will be able to come back if he doesn't like the results of the evaluation for the NBA. So that's luck to him and Aikens hopefully. You know, we don't want to be down two guards in the basketball season, but it's much too early for that experience. Yeah, yes, it is experience. We

need that experience. Do you think I already know like Tie Tie the league. Are they talking to him like hey man, like y'all come back. It's gonna be great. Like I want to know if those conversations and you know, and apartment like get the crib like amen, like come on, I don't think so. I think that's like go get your paper if you can, you know, I get it, you know. Yeah, But I don't know if that NIL is so sweet you know in East Lanting that

you can do that. Some other schools you can afford to, you know, come back and you will be making pretty good money. But I don't know if the n I was so sweet in East Lansing that you can do that. Oh you're talking NBA now now, Yeah, no, it's not that sweet guarded NB that Darren she what's the what's the minimum wage in the NBA and like a million? Yeah, yeah, it's like in the whole

country that can can keep up with that. But yeah, hopefully they they maybe give them a little mark down and they come on back to the green and White, One more Around, One more go around. Guys. Is speaking to Tom is though he had a community event that we want to talk about. Yeah, try On Solutions is one of our corporate partners, and you have some involvement where yesterday coach coach Izzo went down and talked to you know, their sea level execs and their team and he was he was going

to an event that was at the Detroit Athletic Club. So we all know where the d a C is. That's where last time to to was in there and they're drinking some drinks and reporting live. Yeah, I think that's what he was talking about. Prony wasn't ready for. Yeah, exactly at that great Campy event j billis uh the coach at ou had for his NIL collective and they're taking a trip to Italy and you know all that funds will help you know with that as well. Yeah, So they got the overseas

tour that you know teams typically go to. So it was good for for Tom and coach to go out there. And coach loves that type of stuff. Man. It's being able to talk where coaching transitions and transfers into the corporate world and how you run a team and how you bond and you know, I heard there was some great conversations, great questions on how individual can

get better and it's all about culture. And he was talking about you know, you need to you need to know your colleague's names, and you need to repeat their names through time so you know their names. And I think there was an instance where one of the colleagues didn't know somebody's name too in the inside the room. So it was good and I appreciate your coach doing that for for not only try On but also for for Imagry Sports Properties and

getting out there and just showing some love to the corporate partner. So it was a great event. Yeah. Uh for all the people watching the draft Rogers getting booed right now. He just stepped on stage, so you know, keeping you guys in the loop right now. Old girl Heidi from my sat there lives out there with him. An old boy from uh oh boy, oh boy from Modern Family, Modern Families out there with him. They both Kansas City natives there. Oh yeah, they love giving it to Roger

Goodell. I mean, that's got to be one of the best and worst jobs in America, right, you know, you get all the hate, but man, his contract, He's getting another contract extension. Unreal. I boarded out from from my hometown in Jamestown, New York, outside of Buffalo, the political James in Western New York. Wow, brother, he still lives, right? Does he still have his spot internet? Doesn't it? He still has a spot out there? Yeah? Is that remembering Covid was

that was he was in his basement? Was that basement he was? I still remember that he was Covid in his basement like mister Rogers and like no, I remember that draft that was done all virtual and all the coaches at their dining room table was like right right, Belichick. It was. It was a pissing match with the coaches here, who can have the best Setuplichick? Except Belichick? Oh boy, Cliff, Yeah, I mean they had

that spot was like Jesus like money good, money good? You see right now they're doing uh you know Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelson with the long again. Now here's here's a question. Here's a question, because you know there's different like flavor and different covers of the draft. Do you love the ESPN or do you love the NFL network? Because you know, sometimes there's different standpoints and different views and different analysts, But which ones do you truly tune

in to look at the draft? Right now, I'm watching the ESPN one, but I like the NFL Network one because it's the NFL Networks version of the draft. I think it's like this is part of ms U. It's former players keeping it real, talking about you know these guys. That's what I like about that, that coverage, the best analysts that get the whole picture wrong exactly right. Just came out my son Katon. As he's getting

older, he's looking a little less and less like him. But you know my homes, you know, two hundred and ten pounds, two hundred and ninety five pounds, it doesn't look the same, but the hair and Caten's mentioned more Thanes. I think you mentioned more than him and Travis combined. Cody's mentioned more than them. Good lord, that's true. Hey man, It's blessed. But keep it sticking with the basketball theme while the NFL Draft

is going on, how about the NBA playoffs? Your boy? Drane mind Green dropped a big one yesterday twenty one point seven assisted for steals, Buck Bucket, Sag, Nasty Baby, this look. We already know this is in his his tool belt. Man, we know he can get buckets. But it's really looking at where you have those issues where he's just being open. He's been a delegator, like he's passing and but she does a great

job and he's also a communicator and on the defensive side. But when you see him get the buckets, and I honestly feel like maybe he's like, hey, Jared Jackson and Xavier Tillman out here, get buckets. I need to show him what's what's what's up coming off the bench. There's a difference, a little bit fire where like you're not starting, but you come in you kind of see the game flow how it goes, and you're able to come in and and just make a difference. And so good good job on

day they coming back from that suspension and balling up. Yeah. Absolutely, I think he's playing like he knows he has something to prove. He knows like the game, he's getting older, he's not that young cat anymore. And there's the Golden State has a bunch of young cats on the team too that can come in and score. So I feel he's like feeling, hey, I got it. I got something to prove that I still got it.

So I'm gonna come out here and shoot and let him know, Hey, this old dog still got it. Yeah, yeah, definitely think he's a guy that is proven to do whatever it takes for the team, uh, being a role player, coming off the bench, being that bad guy, so to speak, whatever it takes to win championships. He understands that more than ever under the coaching the time Izzo out of the city of Saginaw, where you know nothing but toughest grit determination comes out of there and Michigan

State. So hey, look, let him get his bag. He little continue to roll and maybe they get another ring. Man. I think, what does he have now? Five for trying to get five? Trying to get the five? Five? If you didn't kick Lebron in that, you don't where I feel like it is like it's just stomping on them boys like a town with some of him and Harrison Barnes. This beef that's going on.

Man. If you look at or his podcast right he talked about he was the only one to get invited to the winding and apparently you go deeper is like he felt that you know it was his fault. Harrison felt that Draymond was the difference maker of him getting traded when they brought Kade in. But I saw Draymond go, hey, man, it was just me in that room with Steph and Clay was in that room. Why they get in the past, and so you know, he said it is what it is.

But he also is not gonna regret. He got a ring out of it too, rings by the way, So right, like, I'm not gonna regret that decision. I got two rings, right exactly that at the end of the day, having those two rings mean a lot more than saying I was at Harrison Barnes's wedding, you know, like, don't get you can have the best cake in the world, but I'm making money off winning rings. I have to pay get you a present to go to your wedding. So yeah, man, look I feel I feel spiked because I felt

like I should have been invited to Draymond's way. This is baller. It really was, though it was off the chain. So was there? All of them? Are there? Yeah? Speaking of all of them looked like the whole gang the Flintstones, and then some went out the phoenix to hang out with New Sons owner Mattshpia. Hey, everybody remember that movie, Oh man, it was a blank check, right remember that movie Nobody Squad.

Right there, they are living the absolute dream. And for you to have a guy this whole team is is a success when it comes to corporate Marion, I just learned that there's a guy named Steve Cherry who is is running the brand for Amway. I learned that and he was on that team. But looking at where they all jump on that jet that look, we already know about that jet life right and that is is a different deal though. Yeah, I know it's seven whatever it is. The thing is this,

Pete. Can you go back to that picture of everyone on the court and the next one it'll get there. Yeah, I just want everybody, if you're a high school kid, and if you're a parent and you're watching this and you know people that are high school this picture right here, If you know, you know kids that are in high school that has the opportunity to play at the next level and they're making their decisions. Look at this picture

right here. Look at all the generations have played that's come back together to celebrate this moment right here. You know, that is something that I don't think happens anywhere else, you know, but look at this. You got Drew Knights who played well in our era. You got mccuise gray, you know, you got matteen. You got guys that played in the two thousands all the way up to you know, like when we were there. So that is the thing, like that family bond, people happy for each other.

You know, if you got someone that that's, you know, deciding where the one to go to school, look at that. That should tell you something right there. It doesn't matter how much you play or anything like that. You're part of the team. You're part of that family, and this is something that that goes on forever. It's good to see it. Strange, I don't know if you're looking at back further back is our guy Antonio Smith, Like oh yeah, Flintown, like finance. He was the

glue. He was the guy on that squad winning that championship. We talked about board man get paid. He was doing all the dirty work, right, and so it's always good to see Antonio Smith. But the Flintstones being that main foundation of that team. But to your point, Ju, you see those guys that you also play with where the love spartan love is all across generations. Man, it doesn't matter if you knew young, but that

whole tight knit group. We've always been jealous of how Tom has brought those guys back and they've had they've had like a you're always welcome back way before you know, we had that way. You know, d came and and Mal is welcome us back. But he always had that tatar step foot on, you know, Judd, he and Tom so good to see man, good to see Antonio Smith. You said out of flant. I mean that's a heck of an athletic family. His brother, yeah, band sugar,

Yeah yeah, all three of them could two for sure. It was in the NFL. The team was cold. The team was cold, Oh yeah, quarterback and team was tough for real, like for a basketball player, not just for a basketball player. He was tough, tough, he still is. He's one of those guys. Are you about to say something to I was the biggest finally in who is going? Number one? Yeah? Pulling there? You got right, Shong Man, Listen, I feel like I always told you, I just want them to change the whole game.

Ain't gonna be none of those three. I did put money on him, Levitt. Yes, well Levis, let me borrow dollar. Bro come onles on it not nothing. But he went from plus four thousand down to plus four hundred like in the day because there was so much action on him being the number one pick in Vegas. So I'm here Bryce Young Young is number one. That's Orlanda and Trevor both said that Trevor Harry got some crackh analysis.

Where's coach hokat? That's Harry, Oh, coach hole calling. This is just one one time slappy slappy yeah, coach coach the man was he was that guy. I love it right on time, baby, look at it. Hey man, Look it's always good seeing those quarterbacks. Bright Young is the most sound obviously quarterback in my opinion. Obviously he's playing at the

level of consistency. You know, we talked about the C. J. Stroud situation, which I know we're going to get to, but you know, I think from a standpoint, you got a guy who's hungry and he's coming out of that system of the Alabama side. So we'll see Carolina needs some love. Man. Yeah. The word on the street was Carolina has already been talking to his nutrition iss about gaining or war weight and different ways of getting him the bunk up. He's going to get there with age.

He's only three years out of high school. Guy, so this is still a young man with a lot of skill and upside. Uh sochoot you those shekels have officially gone to the house. How do you feel a hold of dollars straight? Whatever you need? Man? You know, how do you feel about the pick? So we got the next pick is Houston. This is the pick that's pivotal. People don't know where they're gonna They're gonna go defense, They're gonna go quarterback. It's all. It's all open to them.

So this draft, you could see four quarterbacks go top ten. Yeah you could. I like. I like the new setup though. You see how you walking in and you see all the teams, like it's a it's a different walk of getting to the stage. Oh it's different. I know it is. I'm saying, like, I like how we keep evolving. Right, Nashville was dope. Right you got here, Like it's just yes, body we get that one. We will do a show live from on our phones and not working and they're working. I heard that. It's all

right. I always get that. You know, Nick Sable attended and this pink jacket would go good next to you. Choose Paisley suit. That's true. I mean like Bryce got the pink on Saving and then all they missing is YouTube. Hey do you think Saving got something like? Hey, when you guys get drafted, I got a little percentage on that first contract he got. He got it. Yeah, somebody posted like all the contracts from Beam over the last decade. Oh my gosh, Like, what's the total

guarantee? It? Of course it is contraus. So while we're we're waiting on the second pick, we're waiting on Houston mess You's baseball man, beats not to day fourteen to two. I'm sorry, twelve to five about that Michigan score. Still still in my head. Listen, we're we're right now where we sit, and thank you to our lovely guy Scott Moore, who's our voice there today updating me on. Hey, we're sitting number four ranked

in the conference. You know what, big tens, you only take eight, so the top eight get in. So there's a little there's a little parlay going on right now. We're waiting on Northwestern who wins and loses on that and then hopefully we get fully in. We just got to keep winning. So because Boss has turned it around from a standpoint having him a more success in the season, which is great. You know, you don't get

that much good weather here. So it's one of those things if you are above five hundred, you know, it's kind of like a hey, this is a celebratory thing. But they're balling out right now. Question. I mean, I know you choose like locked in on what's happening in Houston right

now. So we have to forgive him. But we will bring you into this conversation because talking about the NFL hopefuls, we have a spartan who is playing lights out for the Michigan Panthers, which you are the color commentator for.

Josh Butler hook and swat Baby has a phenomenal game too. Yeah, he had a couple of these big plays here that he he you know, he great recovery, great job, and you know it's just a teaching of You got to give coach Barnett credit for this teaching there first, many people that want to dog on this the spartan secondary their coach teaches guys at the next level. You got Trey Wayns, you got Dark West Denard that play

at that high level. And I think Josh Butler's gonna get an opportunity to attend a fall camp this year because he is balling out right now and he's enjoying, you know, having the opportunity to play the game of football. You know, it's a great story behind him, and we're gonna try to get him on the show, you know, to just share some of that story with you know, Spartan Nation. But this guy is absolutely balling out.

He took advantage of the opportunity that he was given because he wasn't giving he he left early, we get it, but wasn't given a fair chance because COVID hit. You know, they couldn't do a combine, they couldn't do Pro days or anything like that. So now he's getting a chance to display his talents and he's gonna be playing at the next levels. Many we love that. I mean, we see Josh Butler balling out in the USFL.

He may get a shot in the NFL. As we see the pick being in for the Houston Texans, the number two pick overall in the draft, as we wait on that to come on. You talked about some defensive backs to play in the league. I mean, you can't forget about Tony Lippett Lane another than Harlean Barnett Lane. What's what's the kid that got drafted down in Jacksonville that yeah just recently. Oh we just we we highlighted because he had a pick in the playoffs, Yes, we did. Yeah,

somebody Eagles. Yeah, he's the Eagles now yeah yeah right, yeah, yeah, see it got too many. You know, it's the hits to the head, that's all. It is my head, not my heart. We go that. Hey, my man said, I play I play football. That is huge. That is huge, huge. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah. They put him through it. Look, he's emotional because they put him through it. Like those types of leaks. And we're talking about the cognitive test that came out that said that CJ. Stroud tested at an

eighteen percent whereas Bryce Young was of a ninety eight percent tyle. So he says, here, you know, I'm not a test taker. I play football a lot of times during these draft evaluations. You guys know this, there's smoke screens, man, there's a lot of stuff that gets written and leaked about players to turn other teams off of them and to prevent people from knowing your true motor operade so that they don't come and trade or do anything

behind the scenes and kind of mess up your draft. So teams like Houston could have released that. To be honest with you, what do you think about that? Your Yeah, you know it's it's a cut throat you know, they do some dirty stuff. So right exactly, you talked to Jason Watson about that. I want to talk about leaks. You want to talk about leaks. Yeah, but uh, yeah, you know that that's how

the game is. You know, these gms, these uh you know, people will throw stuff out there and you know, at the end of the day, you know, these questions, you know, I've taken a wander leg Oh did you take in the Jason, You've taken the Wonder Lick. It doesn't ask you about exis and o's. It's you know, questions about you know, totally random stuff. Exactly exactly. You know this one is a little different. This is the Wonder Look is what we all took.

They changed, right, they changed it is a privately held company has two cognitive and what they want you to do is be able to process information in a certain amount of time. So it's it's about the speed. You know, here's ten things. I'm going to show you ten images. Tell me the third, the fifth, the seventh one now after you've already seen them. So you have to protocol testing this. Yeah, limited cannabis. Use go ahead. I actually I actually had a conversation with that. I just

randomly met the gm AD of the Washington Commanders. Now that they are, Yeah, I'm glad you got to cancel. I was gonna I was gonna say at Washington Generals, but the commanders at Hyde Park in Birmingham, because he's the former gm OF for the Lions. And we were talking about why are you laughing? What do you think I'm name droving again? Because we always our own highlights. Yeah, his whole highlight what we played Quinn Brady Quinn, Yeah, go ahead. I just wanted to say, we're always

on other people's highlights in the draft. Go ahead, But uh, you know something that and this goes to talk about the the the test taken here and the test that you broke down Jason, the cognitive anticipation and everything like that. I asked him about the difference with Bryce Young and c J. Stroud, And he told me that the biggest difference between the two of them was Bryce Young's anticipation he can throw a receiver open, and c J.

Stroud would wait till the guy got open. So maybe those are the things that you know on that test. You know that came out like that. You know the anticipation wasn't there. Yeah, that's a good point because we saw c J just throw that past. It was legitimately guy did a little it ain't post came open versus Bryce in his highlight was he's in the pocket, but his his his hiss down there like down down the world and just going through and then just launches it right. But coach hoes in the building.

Yeah, that's what they changed himself. You know what, cheat? How can we cheating that coach on the wondering, I don't chokes that guy? Coach that guy? Do you remember some slapfest at his house after the spring? Oh my god, Now Coach Hulk can throw down. You ain't never had a chance. But it was smoking a great brisket and Mama hope we're cooking it too. Man, it ain't too late. Guys, we still breathing. They can. We gotta go down too. You got go

North Carolina and fish they build a new house. Yeah, let's go go watch Bright. Nothing wrong with that coach. Coach who could smell you, you if you came from the bars in the weight room to strength and conditioning. Tell them so this is the strength and conditioning coaches. They're the only coach that see you pretty much like, yeah they are. There are daddies, man, that's what you can tell you that I'm your daddy when you are here, no doubt about it. Got South Carolina not North. So

so who's on the clock, guys, You got Arizona. Arizona. Man, they better put they better draft the line than that little guy needs somebody. Man. Yeah, they called him. They call him mighty mouse. Man. Man, they call it coach killer. Trade trade trade to what my delaying because I'm streaming Hulu. So they're saying Houston has moved up to the number three spot. Yes, they got back to back. They're gonna take a receiver, No I got they gotta go office in line. They're

gonna go receiver. The picks into yeah, oh yeah, that was that was pretty planned they're gonna take who offensive line that they can get. Who's Who's They got a ton of offensive line. You got screen the kid out of Northwestern. You got Ohio State tackle Paris Johnson. That's a high pick. You also have the kid from Georgia. After that, you're gonna get into the d tackle Jalen Carter. I think jay On Carr might fall to

the Lions. Wait, wait, so Arizona traded to Houston. Right, that's just I thought it was like Arizona got back all right, my bad Will Anderson. That's a good one too. You know, are Trevor Trevor Towns. I'll tell you man, that might be Roger Goodell a hot fire. Yeah, Exid DeMarco, DeMarco Ryan. You know he's he's a new head coach with the test and there trying to make a splash in the draft. So I've never seen a team pick two and three a lot of money

in the rookie pool. Yeah, come on, now, come on, Goodell. So they like the drama. They want to slow things down. We need to see what's going on because we got Yeah, I'm trying to be Roger. Yeah, well you saw what the draft was. The draft stats. Remember, I know we got the next one like draft stass looking at where that the teams that had the most consistent guys in the draft. Is that what? Yeah, yeah, you know I just wanted to see this is this is a little fireworks here. You know, it kind of

takes your attention away. Now here's Cadell right again a Turnament's got like high speed to streaming because this goes first and everybody else is nice. Second. Look, I'm just coming in Hulu, so you know what this is saying, though, guys, like so far that the top three players that have been selected so far are really the best players that we've seen with our eyes.

No freakish athletes have jumped into that mix. You know, they've allowed their the football to take care of so so far, so far, that's what I see, guys. Mama Mama Hoape sent me a text. She's like, oh, Harriet sent Tommy and me your podcast with with Stray and Cheat. You. I hear your voices sound cute and your lord missed the hell she I'm not gonna say the word that she said, but missed that, you know, out of you guys, She said, get your butts down here, Hey, so you know what, we can do that and

we'll do a show from there. We're talked about, we're talking about Michigan State always being on the highlights. Right, So my to my to my staff members Ashley loud And and Abbey Fordner, I think this is this is c J. Strouds highlight there on the sideline, and they just say, hey, we just made it. Got it, got alan on the sideline. It was fourth of July heading down to South Carolina. Let's do it.

Let's do it man, Okay. So so all these firewurs have happened, and the third pick has been taken by Houston, who also picked second. Let's talk about m shues draft day, hopeful guys. Let's let's bring this up this list and I'm gonna let choo choo go through this and otis one no go ahead guys this year on this I think, uh we like legitimately we'll have three guys drafted. I think Jayden Reid will be a second

round pick, late second round, maybe early third round. I think ben Van Summering will be a fifth round pick, and I think our punter Bearinger will be late fifth possible fifth round pick, early sixth round pick. You know X. You know, he's he's gonna he's gonna be a steal for whatever team picks him up. I just think the lack of play last year and he was playing on one leg, you know, really hurt him for

that. A lot of a lot of people, like you know from the you know, talking to some gms in the us FL who owned the right to horse Jared Horse, they think they don't have a shot at him in the USFL because he's gonna be and and like and some of them even think he's gonna get drafted. You know, I'm talking about Jared Horse. One. I'm saying what the gms are saying. They don't the Michigan Panthers own his first round rights, and uh, they don't think he you like,

he's going to get to them because he's gonna be. I think he's gonna be in a camp. He's gonna get an opportunity for a camp. I don't think he's gonna get drafted, but they think he could possibly get drafted, uh late in the draft. I think there's a sneaker here, man, because Kendall Brooks like tested very well from the standod defensive back, so good. I honestly think he may go like six early seventh just from a

standpoint, and he's gonna be that that surprise. But to your point, like whoever gets any him or x uh if even if that's free agency, is going to get a steal exactly that that that On another note, guy, is that Colts war room is a nightmaan, Oh my god, Jim, Jim, Jim that that guy. Dude, that boy siffing something right now? Whoa that? That man? I've never seen anything like that.

The way the way he did that coaching last season was atrocious, like hiring, firing and then you again, yeah, and then you don't even go with and you get the new coach and let's hope they got wanted to pick us in though yes it is for the Colts. I think this may be where you think are one of those quarterbacks Anthony Levis. Yeah, I think Levis is gonna go before because Levis Levison press man, he's he's he has

the combination of Josh Allen Ben Roethlisberger. So you know, keep an eye on this guy out of Kentucky. We're talking about the Kentucky quarterback Will Levis. Yeah, what's the rock shalk. Oh no, that's Kansas State. We's Kentucky slogan. I mean the Wildcats. Yeah, the Bourbon Trail. I don't know, you know, you know Kentucky. I mean, I know Tennessee is rocky Top, but like know Kentucky. For some reason, my feed just showed me the coltal Ore room and jim you see that?

Did you see that place? He looks in another planet. It looks like you had three in the morning for bricks in line at Georgio's. Hey, if you ever go to East Land sy check out. He goes after two people said that, thank you called it? That is that is a very risky thing. You yeah, that's ray. They need that. That's going to roll the dice. You got one right there, Jimmy, Like, I need to go. He won six games last year. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but they did. They were both eligible six

or six. Yeah, that's a risky pick. Hey, but that's just a freaking he fits that. I feel like he fil fits Indianapolis from a he's got They're gonna sell out now, man, they haven't. They haven't had the shif Peyton Manning and then Andrew Luck let them hanging for show because they killed him early and they've been trying to get him back out of retirement

and i've heard like the past two years and not happening. But they need someone's gonna be able to be athletic enough to make plays with their feet because there's some times but selling tickets, man, that's what it's about. Yeah, you can sell tickets, bro for only so long. When you guys getting that get his head beat and this this guy's I don't get me. I want him to have success. I do not like this pick. First of all. First of all, we got three black quarterbacks. I'm talking

to race, but we got three black quarterbacks going like that. This is crazy. Yeah, out of four? You know, love I love, don't I love how the games? Yeah? I know, I know. I just don't think he's he's a fourth overall pick. I do not think that this man six y four court, he can be six ten six. I mean his playmaking ability, his arms, he will be a baller. And the ceiling of his at his pro day workout, like accidentally, it's

the ceiling what schemes. He's not going to be able to do this on Sundays sometimes, Hey, look, look we said the same thing twenty eighteen about Lamar Jackson, people like he shouldn't he shouldn't be playing quarterback. It was a lot of you know, he fell to the thirty second pick, and people said this, that's why he's benefiting from Lamar's success. Bro, all of them are Jalen Hurts. I mean different kind of quarterbacks. I'm

yeah talking about Lamar. Listen, he's the highest paid player in the NFL as of a few hours ago. Jalen Hurst's highest paid was short lived. It was crazy. And the thing is this, like Lamar, he did it without an agent, and everyone was him on his head saying, oh, you you're it's so dumb, you should get an agent, you should

do this. That three percent is staying in his pocket now. But the problem was he was really hell bent on the two hundred and thirty million dollars fully guaranteed contract that Deshaun Watson got and obviously looking at this contract with one hundred and eighty five I mean these are rich people, like wealthy people problems forty five million dollars difference, and it's a difference between rich and you clarify. But you know, so he came off of it. He saw Jalen's

deal. You know, I bet that there were some conversations you know, between those two gentlemen to help him come off of that just wasn't gonna happen to get two hundred and thirty million. That was literally an outlier contract. And to your point about you know what the Houston Texans leaking stuff, the Shaun's and I don't know thirty guaranteed under and then you said out, you said, I'll have you set out those incredible that's the you know, I

don't know. If he doesn't win three four super Bowls, it ain't gonna happen. In the a f C. They got to a f C is locked loaded with quarterbacks. That the a f C East, the af C Central, those two right there, Yeah, quarterbacks, All right, how

you gonna get to the super Bowl. You gotta go through everything, you're right, yeah, and now and now Aaron Rodgers is in there too, right, you know, ship them off to the a s C. You know, no, you should have taken your talentcy like that NFC West or NFC East or something like that with those teams that you know you gotta get in the playoffs with like eight wins right at Tampa. Yeah, nine or something like that. Hosted home Field the interview on little Anthony Richardson's brother.

Man, he got that little chain, Oh, you know, looking clean. They good a fourth pick overall, congratulations to him quarterback. Hey, guys who on the board right now? You got the Seattle Seahawks. Yeah, who they gonna get? Man, Seattle Seahawks. I think like, now, look at this now that uh D lineman from uh Georgia, Jalen car goes here. BT's there a pass rush specialist. Yeah, you could say, hey, you know, why not put our pass rush specialists to

work and get this guy? You know, I that is not something that that's too far off. Hey, they know that the type of guy that Jalen is, he'll vide very well with BT, right, extremely well. But do you tell do you trust Geno Smith that you don't draft a quarterback? No? I think that they're there. Top three just got taken. So no, Will Loves is still there. I don't know that it goes out. I don't know about Will and Pet Carroll. You got you got

to talk about a guy playing in the in the Pacific Northwest. That weather, you know everything like that the armstrenger be there. But like I said, I think that uh that uh d Lineman Carter, I think that's going to be a shoeing for it because you know, if not, you know, we may we may see a DV. You never know, you may see dB. You hold there, Yeah what dB? What TV gonna get up here? There's gonna be a running back going. All all those running

backs are chilling tonight. This that we'll see you guys on day two and three. That's one bond. He's there first round. He's in there, he's there, he's in the city. He'll be a nice you'll get a nice sleep at that hotel. I know where he ain't going the power light districts. Ain't having a nice Bevy or two, which is great. That's a great spot though, he's a great spot. Burn in. You're just trying to get them burned in. I know you look like so. So

m s us Draft stats. Let's pull this up, fellas, while we're waiting for this pick. Do we have them? There we go. So we've got three hundred and nineteen NFL draft picks overall, thirty six first round, fifty five or fifty six common air NFL drafts have featured a spartan dog. I feel like this stats, like the recent success in the past years,

it's it's good. Do you think we're using this for recruiting purposes when you got guys that go you know, Alabama's got thirteen fourteen the first round, averaging around that, But like, you know, is it good to show that? But like, what's the consistency year of year, Like we're talking first rounders. Coach d having a couple of first rounders. You know, K nine was our highest, know back then when last year? I

guess it's it's a good stat. Well, that stat to me, compared to what we're trying to get to, I feel like we're just behind his opinion. I feel like we you know, we we're holding on the past, but like it is right now and what we're doing right now. Well, no, I think that's I think that's a very good stat as a stat if you're competing, if a kid's choosing between Northwestern or hell even Clemson, you can look at us and look at you know, like that's a

good stat and that's something we should throw out there. I don't think there's an issue with that. Yeah, I don't have an issue, but I'm saying like this, this, this, this is weird. I mean, I don't know. Something makes me feel a little different. But yeah, who we gots is happy again. I'm done. I'm done. I'm gone. I'm not asking about the BB early my last this is my last day on the show man. I'm going to be in that about that. They tell me that boy can go to the tape that with him though, you

what they do with it. You're absolutely right, Mike. My question is talking about out thinking themselves. What they were originally the seventh pick, right, and they traded to the sixth. I don't know that first. I thought there from uh, from Saint Louis for Stafford and they're you talking about? Yes? No, no, just now this draft they traded There were the seventh pick, but they traded to the sixth. Oh yeah, because we had that that trade with the golf and what's called are you talking about?

Just now? Just now? They were originally the seventh pick. Smile, it was always six, but it is what it is. Man. Were you always six? Yeah? I don't know. I thought you were. Wait a minute, what's going on? I'm saying, CAUs they traded I think they traded it. Yeah, we hit it down, so we were supposed to be what I mean, Lions are on the clock, and now Phoenix is on the They traded the pick. Then they traded down to twelve, so they're getting out of the car. They have twelve and eighteen.

The Lions are going to outthink themselves. Oh my god. The Lion's original pick is the eighteenth pick. They had a higher pick lights are gonna kept fairing. Hey, man, that'd be a great day for him. I would though, but come on, hey, that's a weapon. That's some I ain't that about some bull jy boy, I'll tell you. Oh my goodness, I'm watching my offensive line right here. I'm watching the ESPN covers and they just did that same ihop commercial we just threw out. There

is looking nice, guys, who has the most picks per school? Let's look at it for the NFL drafts. Oh, this is top ten right here since two thousand. Now this is the stat I'm talking like, you know what I mean, like, this is two thousand, twenty two years, twenty two years, twenty Oh my goodness. What wait what is ours? I guess from two thousand? That's roight, yeah, since two thousand.

You know, I'm sure we can find that good old lines. I know, Marlon, good lord, legit, they legit got us all excited just to trade them, all right, Coach Campbell, I got it, good lord, they got they had number twelve and thirty four in that trade. By the way, I love how everyone. Oh you guys are jumping off your lions bandwagon. Now, I love no he's just saying, man, like, Bro, you guys are just hurt right now.

I haven't seen happier than since the Kansas City when they got my homes and everybody's like, who who's that? They're Yeah, I see it. I'm seeing it now right now. Wait what see I'm looking at all right, and now I've seen the front door training Learner, which, by the way, if we think of that, if you look at it like this,

good guess it's a good sponsored placement on there. Man, some nice stuff. Man, Yeah, I love always working. This is always working meteorites. Look at all that that brand, what is the most pigs by state? So they can tell we're so. I mean, there's a lot of dead air because we're waiting on these NFL draft picks. Here it is Goodel's there. Oh lie, he needed from Ohio state. That's the that's the that's the guy. That's the guy, super athletic guy. All right,

what's not what's what's the over under mist highlights? Yeah, they definitely will be. No, they're gonna show him against Georgia. You think, yeah, man, that's is it the salmon color? Is that little? What kind of color? What is that? That's that cream? Super cream? Ryan Ryan? Does Ryan Day get that Beijing on his his beard? Yeah? Man, super man, you can't have money. What that building is? Oh, that's a nice building, Paris Johnson James all right, we'll

see it's coming up. So you're looking at ESPN. I'm on NFL network. We're on ESPN Iowa and we're live here. We're talking, you know about the pics. There's a hug to Goodel. He didn't pick him up. He's not a very powerful guy, but super athletic offensive lineman smartan. Well, they're showing they're shown on this all his all of his philanthropic community service. Man like, he is a legit guy that's in the community. So he's a a holistic student athlete. Man, see my NFL network.

First nap is against Georgia. You know, Yeah, that's what you got to show. And they show him in against uh, I don't know, man, runners he had got so he played guard and tackle. Dude, dude is a freaking right guard, left guard, right tackle. I mean he's everywhere. Michigan State has had sixty five picks since two thousands. Thank you for that stat. Two thousand and sixty five picks. Yeah, sixty five as compared to one fifty seven for Big ten Zone Ohio State. It's

also like thirteen from that. Yeah, so guys, Yeah, we got some work to do. We got to get some guys in the league man, and it all goes back to the recruiting man. You look at you know, the recruit of the transfer portal, all those things. Like we got to talk a little bit about this because it was national news and it's Colorado. What's going on in Boulder has been crazy. Check it did you guys to see the story here with Travis Gray legacy kid. You know,

his father played on the nineteen ninety national championship team for Colorado. Uh said that when Dion called him in the office on unexpected Sunday meeting, he told me, you're six for eight, three hundred twenty pounds. I know, in my heart of hearts, school is going to pick you up in the portal when you enter make your weaknesses your strengths and keep progressing and hope you have a great future. It just won't be here at the University of Colorado.

It was all good till that last part. I don't know if it's the way you read it, man, I just I just feel the stress and anxiety when I'm reading and I put myself in those jews and you're just like you really cutting me out my dream and I don't even got a spot where I've got nowhere else to go yet. It's that fired on your day off man. Man, you get found of the day off man. Yes,

oh yeah, it's a terrible thing, man. I mean I think right now the total is nearing sixty players from the twenty twenty two scholarship players are no longer with the team. So that's that's the nearing What sixty six zero? You only got one hundred. You got one hundred and ten eighty five scholars scholarships. Whoa but one hundred and ten total on the team.

But you might think that no one knows who's preferred walk on. You don't know right like when when he said you got to cut five, we're talking scholarships. That's what's getting cut. Washington have five offensive linemen and cut after springs to keep in well. Colorado has the same issue on the defensive line. They only had like five right and now they have two and then now they're picking some more up. It's a it's a fire sail over there right

now. Man, I don't know if you like heal a team that has continuity. Damn what y'all think? Man? Oh man, that Trey, Look, the transport's gonna have to work for him getting He sent him in there, but he got to get him out to see. That is crazy. There's a lot of bodies like you can't even practice right now. I appreciate, I appreciate, uh you know, like coach I give him the benefit like he's but like you haven't been at this. I don't know.

That's almost seems reckless, you know, like like I get win now, but like that first year is like all right, we're just gonna we're gonna go through some lumps, like I'm gonna I'm gonna win with try to win with these guys first, give one like one year, Like could you think

could you even think of Coach d coming totally the opposite? You know, I'm saying, but I'm saying, like, just think about we had a coach Coach d came and was like that dope, nope, nope, right mean coach coach D'Antonio always spoke about that was like his biggest accomplishment, the part that you guys went through. He said, when we came in, we didn't lose anybody. And I'm like, okay, but he was really

proud about that. And now I understand because he said right after that he was everybody's got a friend somewhere and start cutting guys, and you got some guys that are still you know it, confester and turn into a venomous locker room if you will, you know, if guys are not feeling like you know they they're being appreciated the right way or what have you. So, but what this is too, like how can you be comfortable as a player

in there? Like, because if you're comfortable, you're gonna play better. Think about it. If you're if you're uptight, you're looking over your shoulder position back, you're not like playing like yourself and now it's like you're looking over you You go into the building and if you have to punch in a key, code. You're hoping you can open the door. You know, every day you got evicted, there was no notice, no note, there's

no two weeks nothing. And then if you go into the locker room, you gotta you always go, and you look up to see if your name's in the locker tag. You know, those are things that you can't be comfortable in play. The truth. The question is how many of those guys were like COVID year guys where you're like just sitting there and just you gotta cut you gotta turn the fat off. Right. But I do remember Coach d truly saying like the weeds will get pulled. Now, we will pull

the weeds. It will come natural because we all remember we're all going this way, so you always do. We're going this way. And then you said you're either in or there's no in between. Okay, oh Texas, Okay, Yeah. Man called that. Ye To called it, Tony called that. This is a play. I don't really know a lot about him, but no one what I don't know about the defense in Jalen Carter Man, that's a guy who's falling guys like a rock right now. He was

presumed to be the number one pick on some people's boards early on. Well, if you have to leave the combine to turn yourself in, you have to be like, hey, guys, after this interview, I got to hit the airport to go to Georgia and uh, you know, get a rain real quick and i'll be back. Issues. That's gonna make you drop

a little bit. Yeah, this kid, this kid had a hell of a seer like like bowl like testing wise, like I think that the ceiling is higher, and he's he has a mother where you kind of get that little and what's the d N. It'll come to me. I'll bring it up later. But yeah, curse the freak up this guy right here. I don't know if there can be a better suit than this right here. Well, I'm trying to figure out what he he just picked up good.

He looked about six six something. Huh. Here here is sledding with the snow shirt. He's got Paisley. What is that you see that color? It's like reflective flowers in the background. He picked up He picked up his shirt on in a chain in sunglasses. Man, That's that's how you get drafted right there, right he got cowboy boots on too, man, and he going to Vegas. Look out, yeah, this dude. Yeah, look at these highlights. Man six five, two hundred pounds and just all

speed on the edge. That's a beautiful chest. Look like Montest sweat. Well, not when he was with us, when he was at he was he was when he was with us. But the guy, he's legendary, and we got to get him on the show too, because he's still a spartan dog man. They shown these highlights. This dude. Yeah, the only guy that I know on this first day he missed curfew, first day on campus, miss curfew. That that it came in. You know,

we'll tell that story another day. There's that pick up did Roger Goodell pick up? Have you seen it? How high he picked it? He did? Yeah? Strong individual? Choot you. But so so our argument is now settled. We don't have to we've squashed it. About the Notre Dame transfer Tyler Buckner. Is he in? Is he out? I said he can. He should be able to be out and back in if they allow him. You said no, if you're out, you're out. But guess what, he's out. He's gone on to Alabama and went down there and

seeing his former coach Tommy Reese and sealed the deal. Yeah, you know, I'm happy for him. You know, I have no issues with him leaving. I want you to have that foot back in the door. I don't give options. That's what it is. I don't give options. Yeah, you out. If you're gonna leave, take all your stuff. Don't leave something here and try to come back and get it now. Dantonio philosophy right either in there is nowhere between. See coach, you still have fluence

still John van dam. But listen, we talked about how we talked about Hampton Faye going to oh you. We were saying, is this a later or is this a step up? This is a true step up because he's being able to play in the SEC. But also you're getting that that system with Tommy Rich and also Nick Saban And based on what the quarterback room looks like off a spring, you legit come in with experience real and I think that's the standpoint of we'll see how it goes. Because the SEC is a

monster. You know, this ain't no, this ain't no select. You can play in the a SEC and play some schools here and there. You know, independent, Now you you balling with some sec squads now, so it's a whole different ball game, brother, And and you you on a short leash. If Jalen Hurts can get benched, uh so anybody in the world. Hey, but you know one thing that I think is in their favor, and they probably told them this is they're they're they're honest in their

recruiting because they kind of like that cocky confidence is that. Look, they feel that they can still win the national title down there without being able to

have a good quarterback. They feel like they're that good now. They feel like their physicality is back to where it was in the days where we used to see them, you know, when we were at like first in goal against them in the Citrus Bowl and had to punt first and goal inside the five and had to punt because they knocked out two quarterbacks and they were just physical, you know. And and that was back when my sideline important days.

I got stories for you. It made us punt on first and gold, Yeah, meaning it was we were first and goal and it went from like negative to like fifty five right all the way back all the way. It's hard. It's hard to like that. It's hard, but I wrapped my head around that. Yeah, I do remember mark Ingram just truck sticking. Yeah, yeah, they had they had Trent, they had Julio Jones.

I mean they had man the defense. Look, everybody went top ten, everybody, So like, yeah, it's a different era than they think that they're back to that physicality and they just you know, they don't. Their quarterbacks are not overly thrilled with them. But we can win the Natty without them. So speaking of quarterbacks, let's go back to like what it

says about this draft. You got a guy like old boy from Florida getting Okay, huh Anthony Richardson, Anthony Richardson over the fourth boy and uh you got uh and and uh Richard he went for six and six or whatever it is. You got a guy like Stetson Bennett who won back to back nationally, like and not even in the conversation. What does that say? What does it say? Yeah, they're looking for certain I mean the sets and Bennett. Uh walcome, what does it say about the way that the league

is going now? And what does this say about Look look at the league ten years ago, look at the league now. The perennial MVY. You got Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts. What does this say with the way that the league is going now? It's more on athleticism because before these guys weren't smart enough to run an offense. And now you've got a guy like Stetson Bennett who ten years ago would have been a top pick. Yeah, like he's a jew he was maybe twenty years right, like twenty

years ago. Yeah, like Gino Torretta. You know that's that like Miami Hurricane Hi as a trophy winner. Yeah, Like I get what you're saying, and I think that we have progressed in that aspect, right, but then there's still you know, we have Magic Johnson being the first minority in who this kid on the screen looking nervous? Which kid is Tony? Tony's giving us some good stuff right now, he's giving the Falcons pick. You're looking nervous as Yeah, when you been kidd, look at him taking deep

breaths and everything. Man, leave a kid alone, mane, you gotta be ready for the moment. Be ready for the moment. B Jean and Tony's been on. Yes, Yeah, Tony got the algorithm somewhere. Boy, that thing he got the early birds for the show. But guys, you know, before we wrap up, because I know we could be on here all day. We wanted to get I mean, this is this.

I think this is good enough right here, but be Jean Robinson running back best best saying, like the deal by the way, and that bison mustard, that thing was cut like that was genius. Ut a crim blet deal. Oh, find it for him, Find it for him. You know what he looks. He reminds me of Todd Gurley, but from a soft man. How quickly Todd Gurley went out of the league after having Ricky year

and then just just quickly gone. But like this guy is a a is an athlete, uh, specimen of a man to be able to just take the hits. But you got some some wheels too, where you can get north south and get you know, get home on the long run. I'm interested. Go ahead, Well, I was just gonna tell you the running back I love. It has nothing to do with the running backs. A secret with me? Oh lord, what is it? He said, what is it? You? If Texas would have offered me, I would have

gone there in a heartbeat. But they didn't though, But you know reason I love orange color. Yeah, did you take a visit at all? No? No, nothing. Yeah, I grew I grew up hook him home born and raised, born in Austin, but obviously all my family from Flint. We moved back to Flint. But when they win, it was you saw that light that that that stacked out in downtown Austin. And to your point, Ricky Williams, right, you know we had, uh what's

is the other running back? He made some sausage like smoke sausage, Earl Earl Campbell, Earl Campbell. I grew up Earl Campbell be like and then he went into like the smoke sausage still fire to this day. Boy, you go there. You can order them online. Yea, I about to get But yeah, any kid that's born there, obviously in the heart of Austin, you want to go to be hunking horns. So before we go

straight here, twelfth and eighteen for the on your own. Yeah, they want the state of I mean, look, they want us to stay to the lines twelfth at right before we go like with you guys, like I just said, if Texas would have off, I would have gone there because of that. What about you guys? Like a dream school that would have been like, I get it. We all went to Michigan State. We love Michigan State, but like what school would have been like uh huh,

well here's here's mine. I was. I was in basketball season and uh I got a call from from Texas and once they found out booing me, yeah, it was a ridiculous. Yeah, I agree. So it was. It was one of those things where like northern or like Michigan players going south was very rare, that like not rare, but could you handle the heat, like the elements right going south? And then when they found out like I was grew up down the road, it was like, oh,

it was like I was just. I was just I was the second third option, right, like somebody somebody decided to like I'm not going here, I'm going to owe you, or I'm going somewhere else. I was at third or fourth option. And at that point I was like, nah, like I just got problems with our job. Can stay I'm straight. But I would have said deuce to my family going back home with my friends, like in the heartbeat, to be honest with you, I'm like, you

have go to Texas too. Absolutely, I would have this, this, this is really ridiculous. This whole conversation. No one's saying, no, one's saying, I'm just look, I know, I know, I know, I know. So I'm going to answer. No, I could have gone a notre dame. No, no, look, I want to and everything. I wanted you to take a third a second language. I say, I'm good for reasons not related to either of you. It was Texas.

And I'll tell you why because my brother for what this is ridiculous, Like we never we didn't even talk about this, did you guys bring this question up? My brother was always like, you know, you know, I think Longhorn be cool with straight horned like straight horn long. And I'm like, oh yeah, but I never heard from him ever. So three of us state state now do stuff from state would have gone to Texas here

and everyone's bowing me. You started it here, it is. But like you think, who was on the prominent TV most of the time, like as we're growing up, right, Yes, it was just like the Cowboys, like back when when the freaking tube just TV just became a thing, it was a Dallas Cowboys, so everybody was a Cowboys fan. It's like that's not our fault. Man. We grew up where they were. That deal, man, I did kind of the you was also another one to the you was Miami. Yeah, like I just wanted to. I don't

know if my mother would have let me go there. The Lord had different plans around you. Boy, Oh my god, a frog hoorn, frog hoorn. Oh boy, these eagles, man, let's see what they're gonna get for Jalen Hurts. They gotta go a lineman, Linman, they gotta replace your cock cocks. That's gonna be in all this agent, Brandon Graham agent. They're gonna get d Liman all right. See if he finally all right, man, that's some dogs it already. Man. That hey,

that could have been a slippery slope. He could have went way for like, it could have been bad. And I'm glad he got off the board. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Drew his agent, Drew Rosenhouse was like, we're not even visiting anybody that's below I saw that, which is smart, Like he knew, well, that's the same thing with House when he got uh, well he snuck r the bills to draft in Willis McGahee. There's a story that came out because was you know, everyone knows

the story. He blew his knee out in the National title game and the Bill's GM called him. It's like, hey, who else talking? He was like, if you guys something, He's going to be gone before you guys get to him. And the next pick the Bills picked him up. But it worked out for both parties because he was, you know, a success. Yeah, but but like he's gone beyond because he used to bluff a little bit, but he knew, you know, at this the level he is as an agent. Man. Right now, they this stat right

here that he could dunk when he was fifth grade. That's it's just pot Jaylaka could dunk when he was in fifth grade. It's the same thing with U strange boys. It's gonna be like he was benching to sixty five and seventh grade Max Max retch Max. That's sometimes like comprehend that. I don't know if people comprehend like to sixty five and seventh grade. A lot of people aren't doing that. Yeah, I gotta show him this. I'll let him see this because he's just like whatever. I'm the same way. I'm

like whatever. Man. Inside, I'm like damn yeah, like you've been through the wringer man like publicly like that what that does? Oh yeah, man, yeah, got that got that too big? Come over boy, look at him. Oh man. So he gets to go down and see hey man, that's a that's a he's gonna be playoff ready mabe super Bowl

contenders. Mm hmmm. Yeah, you get to your point. That was a good point with Fletcher Cox and branding a being like under your wing, young grasshopper, and we're gonna get you right to become a pro guy. Right, yeah, you can't. You got to sustain this league. It's easy to get out with. Sustaining is where you get the success. So we'll go. I'm I'm looking forward to seeing what he does. I hope,

I hope he locks in six three three fourteen. But he looks he plays like the way that I see him shed blocks and like delivered blows without a lot of area. It's very Aaron Donald like. But he's much bigger than Aaron Donald. Yeah he's you know, I mean yeah, his his uh his speed off that line. Man, it's like you remember like drell Worthy to be getting on that mud real quick and hockey real quick. Yeah yeah, and when you're coming with uh, like it feels like you got

a sledge hammer in your forearms and stuff. It's different. I don't know. Humans just have that. It's not it's very rare. But you can't run up against them just like look, just like you says, don't don't try to pick a fight on the guy rix that has cauliflower here. Don't do that because they look they fear no man, but God. You know when people say I fear the God right right, when people say that, like Nope, not today, Nope, nope, no, Drew Rosenel's So
