1 00:00:04,428 --> 00:00:06,628 Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in 2 00:00:06,708 --> 00:00:25,988 Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio Football. What's up, everybody, Welcome to Good 3 00:00:25,988 --> 00:00:28,428 Speaker 1: Morning Football and Peter Schrager. That's Kyle Brand. We've got 4 00:00:28,468 --> 00:00:30,508 Speaker 1: a loaded show today, Phill with some of the best 5 00:00:30,588 --> 00:00:33,508 Speaker 1: moments from Good Morning Football this past year. First three 6 00:00:33,548 --> 00:00:35,268 Speaker 1: rounds of the draft in the book School, let's break 7 00:00:35,268 --> 00:00:38,308 Speaker 1: it all down with something we call journalism one O one. 8 00:00:38,348 --> 00:00:40,988 Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of great players drafted to new 9 00:00:41,028 --> 00:00:42,788 Speaker 1: teams over the last two nights, but I want to 10 00:00:42,788 --> 00:00:45,588 Speaker 1: know who is the player that will make the most 11 00:00:45,868 --> 00:00:48,828 Speaker 1: immediate impact on their new team, because really, you know, Mike, 12 00:00:48,868 --> 00:00:51,148 Speaker 1: it all comes down to my fantasy roster with immediate 13 00:00:51,108 --> 00:00:53,708 Speaker 1: impact on who's stopping those fantasy points from happening too well. 14 00:00:53,748 --> 00:00:55,508 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, unless you get defensive players, this 15 00:00:55,508 --> 00:00:58,028 Speaker 1: guy's not gonna help you. But Cavon Thibadeau, just because 16 00:00:58,068 --> 00:01:00,908 Speaker 1: the Giants have felt kind of wah the last couple 17 00:01:00,908 --> 00:01:03,068 Speaker 1: of years, they were very entertaining. When Sean o'harrow is 18 00:01:03,068 --> 00:01:05,268 Speaker 1: in that locker room, we get a little personality in 19 00:01:05,308 --> 00:01:07,788 Speaker 1: that locker room. Kavon Tibeteau was gonna bring it all 20 00:01:07,828 --> 00:01:09,188 Speaker 1: of a sudden, it feels like there's a little bit 21 00:01:09,188 --> 00:01:11,828 Speaker 1: of swag coming back to the Giants perhaps with this 22 00:01:12,028 --> 00:01:13,748 Speaker 1: right here, And I think that that's really important for 23 00:01:13,748 --> 00:01:16,508 Speaker 1: that organization. Are you surprised him? I was surprised took 24 00:01:16,588 --> 00:01:18,108 Speaker 1: him at five. I thought he was in the mix 25 00:01:18,188 --> 00:01:20,508 Speaker 1: at seven, depending on how things fell. But they said, 26 00:01:20,668 --> 00:01:22,348 Speaker 1: you know what, we knew we were gonna get either tackle, 27 00:01:22,428 --> 00:01:24,508 Speaker 1: so we flipped it. We took him at five. And yeah, 28 00:01:24,548 --> 00:01:27,188 Speaker 1: but so yeah, all right, a lot of wide receivers 29 00:01:27,188 --> 00:01:29,348 Speaker 1: going in this draft. How about the Tennessee Titans getting 30 00:01:29,388 --> 00:01:32,308 Speaker 1: Treylon Burks. I think an immediate impact, especially with the 31 00:01:32,348 --> 00:01:34,468 Speaker 1: departure of A J. Brown. All Right, guess who Ryan 32 00:01:34,468 --> 00:01:36,108 Speaker 1: Tannell is gonna want to throw to now? And look 33 00:01:36,148 --> 00:01:38,668 Speaker 1: at Arkansas. They lined him up outside inside, they had 34 00:01:38,748 --> 00:01:41,628 Speaker 1: him as a wildcat quarterback. He was in the backfield, 35 00:01:41,628 --> 00:01:44,428 Speaker 1: so he could do it all eighteen touchdowns in the 36 00:01:44,508 --> 00:01:48,308 Speaker 1: last two seasons alone, So instant offense for Tennessee. He 37 00:01:48,308 --> 00:01:51,068 Speaker 1: could make an immediate impact. And I think when you 38 00:01:51,108 --> 00:01:53,828 Speaker 1: look at what the Tennessee Times are looking to do offensively, look, 39 00:01:53,948 --> 00:01:55,508 Speaker 1: he's going to see a lot of eight man boxes. 40 00:01:55,548 --> 00:01:57,828 Speaker 1: They're trying to stop Derek Henry. This guy could be 41 00:01:57,828 --> 00:02:00,108 Speaker 1: really special for Mike Raybull and the Titans. I'm looking 42 00:02:00,108 --> 00:02:02,628 Speaker 1: at Christian Watson and the Packers because, again you talk 43 00:02:02,628 --> 00:02:05,708 Speaker 1: about elite quarterbacks making good wide receivers. He's at a 44 00:02:05,748 --> 00:02:09,068 Speaker 1: position of desperate need. He's going to have to have production, 45 00:02:09,148 --> 00:02:11,348 Speaker 1: and the best way that young receivers can develop is 46 00:02:11,348 --> 00:02:14,148 Speaker 1: by having really good quarterbacks who helped them develop. He's 47 00:02:14,148 --> 00:02:16,588 Speaker 1: got all the skills, he's got all the tools. Aaron 48 00:02:16,668 --> 00:02:18,668 Speaker 1: Rodgers knows that he's going to need him and going 49 00:02:18,748 --> 00:02:21,148 Speaker 1: to have to use him. So to me, Christian Watson 50 00:02:21,268 --> 00:02:23,148 Speaker 1: is going to be the person that makes a big 51 00:02:23,188 --> 00:02:26,068 Speaker 1: immediate impact. Do you like the pick to the Packers 52 00:02:26,228 --> 00:02:27,868 Speaker 1: that him as a wide receiver. I mean, there's a 53 00:02:27,868 --> 00:02:29,988 Speaker 1: lot of criticism about how they didn't reach for a 54 00:02:30,028 --> 00:02:31,828 Speaker 1: guy in the first round, but they would have been 55 00:02:31,868 --> 00:02:34,868 Speaker 1: reaching exactly right, and they let the draft come to them. 56 00:02:34,908 --> 00:02:36,988 Speaker 1: They got good value with their first round picks, and 57 00:02:36,988 --> 00:02:40,108 Speaker 1: I think they got tremendous value taking two second round 58 00:02:40,108 --> 00:02:42,508 Speaker 1: picks which they had, but packaging that to get up 59 00:02:42,548 --> 00:02:44,348 Speaker 1: to take Christian watching. I thought it was brilliant. I 60 00:02:44,348 --> 00:02:46,388 Speaker 1: thought it was great value in the first and second 61 00:02:46,428 --> 00:02:48,348 Speaker 1: round kick here what Aaron Rodgers thinks about it? Of 62 00:02:48,388 --> 00:02:50,708 Speaker 1: course at some point. Now there's been lots of reactions 63 00:02:50,708 --> 00:02:53,868 Speaker 1: and celebrations that will never forget from this draft. When, guys, 64 00:02:54,268 --> 00:02:57,348 Speaker 1: was your favorite moment in this NFL draft? Take me 65 00:02:57,388 --> 00:03:00,468 Speaker 1: to that place, Mike, Yeah, it was when former Vikings 66 00:03:00,548 --> 00:03:03,788 Speaker 1: running back Ed Marinaro, also an actor, stepped up to 67 00:03:03,828 --> 00:03:06,068 Speaker 1: the podium and probably in his head had this vision 68 00:03:06,068 --> 00:03:08,668 Speaker 1: of this is gonna be my Drew Pearson, Pat mcaf 69 00:03:08,948 --> 00:03:13,308 Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt moment. This is what happened. This is crazy. 70 00:03:13,548 --> 00:03:16,148 Speaker 1: We didn't have this many people when I played in 71 00:03:16,188 --> 00:03:20,188 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Finding a Viking purple sport coat is 72 00:03:20,228 --> 00:03:23,108 Speaker 1: not easy, but I did it, and I hope you 73 00:03:23,148 --> 00:03:27,548 Speaker 1: appreciate it. At fifty years ago, I was drafted by 74 00:03:27,588 --> 00:03:30,948 Speaker 1: the Minnesota Vikings. In fact, there was only one team 75 00:03:31,068 --> 00:03:34,188 Speaker 1: that I wanted to be drafted by. Less Oh my goodness, 76 00:03:34,228 --> 00:03:36,708 Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna mention Green Bay. Oh. We gotta 77 00:03:36,708 --> 00:03:40,068 Speaker 1: ask some Goat fans out there. This is right in 78 00:03:40,148 --> 00:03:45,188 Speaker 1: Charles Wheelhouse. Go say me anyway. Is he gonna get 79 00:03:45,228 --> 00:03:49,708 Speaker 1: to the earlier I can't read the cards to be 80 00:03:49,788 --> 00:03:52,868 Speaker 1: in the early years. Let's go ahead here, we go ahead. 81 00:03:54,788 --> 00:03:58,748 Speaker 1: That cutting my hook, not even any playoff music, just 82 00:03:58,788 --> 00:04:03,468 Speaker 1: bread it. Just read it anyway. With the forty second 83 00:04:03,468 --> 00:04:06,268 Speaker 1: pick in the two in twenty two NFL draft, the 84 00:04:06,388 --> 00:04:12,268 Speaker 1: Minnesota Viking select defensive back Andrew Booth from Clemson. We 85 00:04:12,308 --> 00:04:14,228 Speaker 1: had to edit it down. He went very long. Now 86 00:04:14,268 --> 00:04:17,148 Speaker 1: I have some sympathy for Ed. Right my brother's wedding, 87 00:04:17,148 --> 00:04:18,908 Speaker 1: I was the best man. You go in, you think 88 00:04:18,908 --> 00:04:21,908 Speaker 1: he got all this great material. You start riffing, you're 89 00:04:21,948 --> 00:04:24,628 Speaker 1: going on. I went for like ten minutes. It felt 90 00:04:24,628 --> 00:04:27,068 Speaker 1: like two. I had had a couple of pops. Sometimes 91 00:04:27,068 --> 00:04:29,188 Speaker 1: you go along just doesn't come out how you planned 92 00:04:29,228 --> 00:04:31,428 Speaker 1: it in your head, and all this material that you 93 00:04:31,508 --> 00:04:33,508 Speaker 1: thought was funny just doesn't come off the right way. 94 00:04:33,548 --> 00:04:35,148 Speaker 1: But I don't want to talk about Ed here. I 95 00:04:35,188 --> 00:04:37,348 Speaker 1: want to highlight the young lady in the purple. Let's 96 00:04:37,348 --> 00:04:40,148 Speaker 1: see her again. Her name is Ashton Ramsburg. She is 97 00:04:40,188 --> 00:04:44,268 Speaker 1: the senior manager for major Events and team operations. I 98 00:04:44,308 --> 00:04:48,868 Speaker 1: am told via sources that she was mortified that she 99 00:04:49,108 --> 00:04:51,188 Speaker 1: went out there and had to tell him read the card. 100 00:04:51,228 --> 00:04:53,068 Speaker 1: You can read her lips. Just read the card, Just 101 00:04:53,108 --> 00:04:56,228 Speaker 1: read the card, and trying to save him. Ashton, don't 102 00:04:56,268 --> 00:05:00,468 Speaker 1: be mortified. You are a national hero this morning, Ashton. 103 00:05:00,908 --> 00:05:04,708 Speaker 1: Embrace your moment and congratulations on moving up to the 104 00:05:04,788 --> 00:05:08,988 Speaker 1: number one ranking as the future NFL commissioner. Ashton, you 105 00:05:09,028 --> 00:05:12,028 Speaker 1: have vaulted yourself in the position. Don't be mortified. Thank 106 00:05:12,068 --> 00:05:14,428 Speaker 1: you for doing your service to amer That Ashton didn't 107 00:05:14,468 --> 00:05:16,908 Speaker 1: know is that that fine gentleman who played in that 108 00:05:16,988 --> 00:05:20,148 Speaker 1: Super Bowl and was filibustering up there was my design. 109 00:05:20,428 --> 00:05:22,508 Speaker 1: You probably don't know this. Kyle went through this whole 110 00:05:22,508 --> 00:05:24,668 Speaker 1: spiel about how was not going to make it on time, 111 00:05:24,668 --> 00:05:26,948 Speaker 1: and I said, well, we need Edna Smith to filibuster. 112 00:05:27,068 --> 00:05:29,108 Speaker 1: We need somebody. We need to get involved and have 113 00:05:29,228 --> 00:05:32,508 Speaker 1: somebody ahead of that buffalo Bill's pick take their sweet time. 114 00:05:32,668 --> 00:05:35,148 Speaker 1: That's why it happened. Ashton. We appreciate you playing a 115 00:05:35,228 --> 00:05:39,508 Speaker 1: role in this concerted effort to get Kyle there in 116 00:05:39,548 --> 00:05:41,348 Speaker 1: time to make us pick. Yeah, we call that vamping, 117 00:05:41,428 --> 00:05:44,508 Speaker 1: right or just waiting for Kyle. A good job. She 118 00:05:44,508 --> 00:05:46,908 Speaker 1: had no problem finding a purple suit like ed Head 119 00:05:46,908 --> 00:05:49,028 Speaker 1: with the jacket that she was rocking it and did 120 00:05:49,028 --> 00:05:51,188 Speaker 1: a great job. Good job by you digging up all 121 00:05:51,228 --> 00:05:52,428 Speaker 1: the dirt and all the facts. That's what you do. 122 00:05:52,468 --> 00:05:54,348 Speaker 1: You should be a reporter. All right, Listen, there's a 123 00:05:54,348 --> 00:05:57,868 Speaker 1: lot of great moments Ashton in the draft when they 124 00:05:57,868 --> 00:06:00,948 Speaker 1: asked people to make a pick, so the Giants Joe 125 00:06:00,988 --> 00:06:04,908 Speaker 1: Shane asked Sam Prince to announce the pick for him 126 00:06:04,988 --> 00:06:08,308 Speaker 1: in Vegas, and he's got all kinds of energy and 127 00:06:08,348 --> 00:06:10,628 Speaker 1: sometimes you wonder, like I hope they deliver. Let's take 128 00:06:10,668 --> 00:06:13,868 Speaker 1: a look at what Sam delivered for the New York Giants. 129 00:06:14,348 --> 00:06:17,468 Speaker 1: With the fifth pick in the twenty twenty two NFL Draft, 130 00:06:17,628 --> 00:06:22,388 Speaker 1: the New York Football Giant select Cavan Tibodel defensive man 131 00:06:25,348 --> 00:06:29,508 Speaker 1: Sam Prince. I mean the energy, the eruption he was 132 00:06:29,628 --> 00:06:31,468 Speaker 1: channeling his inner Kyle Brand. I feel like when he 133 00:06:31,508 --> 00:06:33,988 Speaker 1: made that pick and when he actually got the chance 134 00:06:34,028 --> 00:06:36,748 Speaker 1: to meet Cavon Thibodeaux, he got came on, Tibodeau pumped up, 135 00:06:36,788 --> 00:06:39,228 Speaker 1: So great moment for Sam Prince certainly, a great moment 136 00:06:39,268 --> 00:06:41,228 Speaker 1: for the Giants, and a great moment for Thibodeaux. Glad 137 00:06:41,228 --> 00:06:43,908 Speaker 1: we all caught it on too. It was fantastic. But 138 00:06:43,948 --> 00:06:46,268 Speaker 1: I tell you what, draft in Las Vegas, you have 139 00:06:46,268 --> 00:06:48,428 Speaker 1: to have a Las Vegas moment, and our Las Vegas 140 00:06:48,468 --> 00:06:52,228 Speaker 1: moment was our man, Kyle Brand. Third round pick Buffalo Bills. 141 00:06:52,428 --> 00:06:56,028 Speaker 1: It was part Angry Runs, it was part WWE, but 142 00:06:56,188 --> 00:06:59,148 Speaker 1: again it was all Las Vegas. Someone mentioned the Rock 143 00:06:59,268 --> 00:07:02,308 Speaker 1: earlier at the Super Bowl. The Rock's got nothing on 144 00:07:02,388 --> 00:07:05,148 Speaker 1: our Kyle brand. Here it comes here. He is the 145 00:07:05,228 --> 00:07:17,668 Speaker 1: Buffs Morning Football, Good evening, Las Vegas, good even my 146 00:07:17,788 --> 00:07:22,188 Speaker 1: brothers and sisters on the NFL network, and good evening 147 00:07:22,428 --> 00:07:26,628 Speaker 1: Western New York. I find it perfect that the Bills 148 00:07:26,828 --> 00:07:30,868 Speaker 1: are drafting in this city of luck of chance, because 149 00:07:30,988 --> 00:07:34,308 Speaker 1: you all know, and I know, the only thing in 150 00:07:34,308 --> 00:07:37,628 Speaker 1: this world that can stop Josh Allen is the flip 151 00:07:37,628 --> 00:07:43,068 Speaker 1: of a coin.

And what 159 00:08:22,468 --> 00:08:24,908 Speaker 1: was priceless was the look of the people in the 160 00:08:24,988 --> 00:08:29,148 Speaker 1: draft room at the Buffalo Bills. There was there's just 161 00:08:29,268 --> 00:08:32,388 Speaker 1: looked in the headlights like is he really saying all this? 162 00:08:32,708 --> 00:08:35,548 Speaker 1: But then what was beautifully he half hugs Roger holding 163 00:08:35,588 --> 00:08:37,828 Speaker 1: his wing up in the air, and then there's this 164 00:08:37,948 --> 00:08:40,708 Speaker 1: moment with Donnie Osman and then he started singing, so 165 00:08:40,748 --> 00:08:43,988 Speaker 1: you're saying the brass of the Buffalo Bills is like whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, 166 00:08:43,988 --> 00:08:47,708 Speaker 1: whoa tap the brakes. Oh interesting, especially because Brandon being 167 00:08:47,748 --> 00:08:49,748 Speaker 1: came out and somebody asking the question, or is it 168 00:08:49,788 --> 00:08:51,268 Speaker 1: super Bowl bus for you guys? And he was like, 169 00:08:51,468 --> 00:08:53,668 Speaker 1: all right, Hope, let's pump the breaking. We don't need to, 170 00:08:53,828 --> 00:08:55,588 Speaker 1: we don't need to put that on our back, and 171 00:08:55,828 --> 00:08:58,108 Speaker 1: and Kyle just went and put an exclamation point on that. 172 00:08:58,388 --> 00:09:00,188 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, we're going super Bowl buzzs. I'm calling you 173 00:09:00,188 --> 00:09:02,188 Speaker 1: the chance. This is the pick that's doing it. And 174 00:09:02,228 --> 00:09:05,388 Speaker 1: he was basically trolling all the other AFC fans there 175 00:09:05,348 --> 00:09:07,548 Speaker 1: at the audience while waving a wing at each and 176 00:09:07,588 --> 00:09:09,588 Speaker 1: every one of him. Waving the wing was really fun 177 00:09:09,628 --> 00:09:11,068 Speaker 1: to watch the second time I've seen it out there. 178 00:09:11,228 --> 00:09:14,668 Speaker 1: He's it's a delicate there's probably sauce splashing on the 179 00:09:14,668 --> 00:09:18,348 Speaker 1: forefront row of AFC East Rivals just sitting there taking 180 00:09:18,388 --> 00:09:20,588 Speaker 1: it unbelievable.

It's Kyle like finished the 182 00:09:23,028 --> 00:09:27,508 Speaker 1: way a quitter in all my years doing this show, 183 00:09:27,628 --> 00:09:30,668 Speaker 1: our next guest one of my absolute favorites. I would 184 00:09:30,748 --> 00:09:32,868 Speaker 1: choose him and maybe put him on my Mount Rushmore 185 00:09:32,908 --> 00:09:36,628 Speaker 1: because he stands for everything that is good and NFL 186 00:09:36,948 --> 00:09:39,828 Speaker 1: and Pittsburgh Steelers.

I understand you're in Atlanta. 198 00:10:14,148 --> 00:10:16,788 Speaker 1: Are you watching it with your brother? Are you excited 199 00:10:16,828 --> 00:10:19,268 Speaker 1: a little nervous and what is that piece of advice 200 00:10:19,308 --> 00:10:21,988 Speaker 1: that you gave him about today and how to handle it? Well, 201 00:10:22,028 --> 00:10:24,788 Speaker 1: I'm here in Atlanta. Last time I was here for 202 00:10:24,908 --> 00:10:27,628 Speaker 1: this time, it was my draft party, and that's been 203 00:10:27,948 --> 00:10:30,868 Speaker 1: what eleven years ago. A lot has changed since then. 204 00:10:31,068 --> 00:10:33,548 Speaker 1: But the thing I keep telling is, you know, wherever 205 00:10:33,628 --> 00:10:36,508 Speaker 1: you end up, that's just the beginning. You got to 206 00:10:36,508 --> 00:10:38,628 Speaker 1: put in the work. You want to make sure you 207 00:10:38,748 --> 00:10:41,108 Speaker 1: take advantage of this opportunity. You know, Connor is a 208 00:10:41,108 --> 00:10:43,748 Speaker 1: great kid, and he's got the whole world in his hands. 209 00:10:43,748 --> 00:10:45,668 Speaker 1: He's just got to be ready for those moments. And 210 00:10:45,708 --> 00:10:48,708 Speaker 1: so I'm excited a little bit nervous, but you know, 211 00:10:48,748 --> 00:10:50,628 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a great day. You know, Kim, 212 00:10:50,788 --> 00:10:53,708 Speaker 1: we know that the Steelers love having brother Tannam's on 213 00:10:53,708 --> 00:10:56,548 Speaker 1: the team. I mean, there's TJ and Derek watt Is 214 00:10:56,628 --> 00:10:59,628 Speaker 1: Terrell and Trey Edmonds. And have you given any thought 215 00:10:59,828 --> 00:11:02,548 Speaker 1: that what if your brother's drafted by the Steelers, And 216 00:11:02,668 --> 00:11:05,828 Speaker 1: however it turns out, what's an fell team getting by 217 00:11:05,988 --> 00:11:08,868 Speaker 1: selecting your brother Connor? He's dacted by the Steeler. It's 218 00:11:08,908 --> 00:11:11,428 Speaker 1: all hell's gonna breaks. I'm gonna have a lot of 219 00:11:11,468 --> 00:11:14,508 Speaker 1: fun with him. And my mom's gonna hate you for that. 220 00:11:14,748 --> 00:11:17,708 Speaker 1: But if he did, I would be very excited. We 221 00:11:17,708 --> 00:11:20,148 Speaker 1: could do a lot of special things. But with Connor, 222 00:11:20,308 --> 00:11:22,668 Speaker 1: you know, he's a jack of all trades. He's able 223 00:11:22,708 --> 00:11:25,628 Speaker 1: to run the ball, block, catch, you know, there's not 224 00:11:25,668 --> 00:11:28,068 Speaker 1: a thing he hasn't done. You know, in high school, 225 00:11:28,308 --> 00:11:30,628 Speaker 1: I remember he kicked a little bit too. So he 226 00:11:30,948 --> 00:11:34,428 Speaker 1: brings a lot of musicians questionability, and he just loves football. 227 00:11:34,548 --> 00:11:35,988 Speaker 1: That's the one thing I love about kind of like 228 00:11:36,068 --> 00:11:39,908 Speaker 1: the first thing Connor did as a kid was always 229 00:11:39,948 --> 00:11:42,388 Speaker 1: pick up the ball and it was always a football, 230 00:11:42,468 --> 00:11:45,188 Speaker 1: and he always knew he was carrying football to a 231 00:11:45,268 --> 00:11:49,668 Speaker 1: basketball game. He was in footballs for Christmas, his birthday. 232 00:11:50,228 --> 00:11:54,388 Speaker 1: We were pretty generic and his birthday gifts. So the 233 00:11:54,388 --> 00:11:57,228 Speaker 1: Steelers draft a quarterback in the first round since two thousand, 234 00:11:57,508 --> 00:11:59,708 Speaker 1: first time since two thousand and four, some dude out 235 00:11:59,748 --> 00:12:01,988 Speaker 1: of Miami, Ohio. That worked out. Okay, here is your 236 00:12:02,028 --> 00:12:07,148 Speaker 1: initial reaction to Pittsburgh selected Kenny Pickett twentieth overall. Oh, snap, 237 00:12:07,428 --> 00:12:11,748 Speaker 1: get it, snap, Sean O'Hara, Kenny Pickett, welcome to the squad. 238 00:12:12,548 --> 00:12:14,668 Speaker 1: So cam Hey, we're excited. But then this is the 239 00:12:14,748 --> 00:12:17,388 Speaker 1: second tweet right here. By the way, your nickname is 240 00:12:17,428 --> 00:12:20,908 Speaker 1: burger king hands from now on? What is I'm maybe 241 00:12:20,908 --> 00:12:23,308 Speaker 1: I'm missing this one. What does burger king hands mean? 242 00:12:23,428 --> 00:12:25,828 Speaker 1: And uh, what do you think about Kenny Picket's chances 243 00:12:25,828 --> 00:12:28,068 Speaker 1: of coming in and making some noise right away? Camp? Well, 244 00:12:28,188 --> 00:12:31,148 Speaker 1: let's be honest, everybody talked about his hands, and I 245 00:12:31,148 --> 00:12:33,348 Speaker 1: thought it was a clear opportunity to work in the 246 00:12:33,468 --> 00:12:37,108 Speaker 1: endorsement theory. Now, Burger King, if you're listening, everybody's talking 247 00:12:37,108 --> 00:12:40,508 Speaker 1: about how small his hands could be, and what better 248 00:12:40,588 --> 00:12:43,268 Speaker 1: way than talk about being having a big burger in 249 00:12:43,308 --> 00:12:49,748 Speaker 1: a little hand later, So now we can Yes, I've 250 00:12:49,748 --> 00:12:52,108 Speaker 1: got to do this at rookie. It's about time. He's 251 00:12:52,108 --> 00:12:54,508 Speaker 1: gonna be right next to me the walk. So that's 252 00:12:54,548 --> 00:12:57,348 Speaker 1: all of fun. Oh that's a great idea.

Listen, let's talk 255 00:13:02,788 --> 00:13:05,308 Speaker 1: about you a little bit and talk about this defense. 256 00:13:05,348 --> 00:13:07,948 Speaker 1: I know everybody's focusing on the quarterbacks and you guys 257 00:13:08,028 --> 00:13:09,548 Speaker 1: have a new one, so everyone's gonna be looking at 258 00:13:09,548 --> 00:13:11,668 Speaker 1: that competition. But I want to talk about your defense 259 00:13:11,708 --> 00:13:14,748 Speaker 1: because you guys have a new defensive coordinator, Keith Butler 260 00:13:14,908 --> 00:13:17,228 Speaker 1: Butts as he's affectionately known in the locker room and 261 00:13:17,268 --> 00:13:19,188 Speaker 1: on the field. I want to give you a chance 262 00:13:19,228 --> 00:13:21,228 Speaker 1: to pay some respects to Butts and what he brought, 263 00:13:21,268 --> 00:13:23,708 Speaker 1: and also talk to us about Tarrell Austin and your 264 00:13:23,748 --> 00:13:26,708 Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator. What can Steelers fans expect out of 265 00:13:26,748 --> 00:13:29,508 Speaker 1: that steel curtain defense? This year? Lots was awesome. And 266 00:13:29,548 --> 00:13:32,508 Speaker 1: I hate talking about the past steps because I know 267 00:13:32,588 --> 00:13:34,468 Speaker 1: he's gonna be getting in some golfson and he's gonna 268 00:13:34,468 --> 00:13:36,908 Speaker 1: be kicking my tail there. But he brought a level 269 00:13:36,948 --> 00:13:41,068 Speaker 1: of comfortability. He had him all my career, and whether 270 00:13:41,108 --> 00:13:44,148 Speaker 1: it was doctor and upson blitzes or just communicating, you 271 00:13:44,268 --> 00:13:47,868 Speaker 1: knew he was able to get the pass rush going. 272 00:13:48,068 --> 00:13:50,468 Speaker 1: With Terrell Austin, you know, I think we're very excited. 273 00:13:50,588 --> 00:13:52,828 Speaker 1: You know. I think he's a new space that's been 274 00:13:52,828 --> 00:13:55,068 Speaker 1: in our room a lot. I know he's only working 275 00:13:55,068 --> 00:13:58,308 Speaker 1: with defensive bouts for the most part, but for us, 276 00:13:58,348 --> 00:14:01,108 Speaker 1: I think he's going a very a level of difference 277 00:14:01,148 --> 00:14:03,628 Speaker 1: when we have our different coverages, and I think we'll 278 00:14:03,628 --> 00:14:06,668 Speaker 1: still keep our blitzes and our friends to say, but 279 00:14:06,828 --> 00:14:08,628 Speaker 1: it should be exciting to see what we got. Because 280 00:14:08,628 --> 00:14:11,948 Speaker 1: we got some great players, it's just about maximize them 281 00:14:11,948 --> 00:14:15,068 Speaker 1: and making sure we can continue to have a great defense. 282 00:14:15,388 --> 00:14:17,068 Speaker 1: And there's so much change. It's so great to have 283 00:14:17,188 --> 00:14:19,388 Speaker 1: you still in that locker room. You and Tomlin's sort 284 00:14:19,388 --> 00:14:21,748 Speaker 1: of the consistent thing that's going through all of the 285 00:14:21,828 --> 00:14:24,468 Speaker 1: changes from the quarterback spot, trickling down to the new 286 00:14:24,548 --> 00:14:27,548 Speaker 1: rookies being added later today and throughout the weekend. Here. 287 00:14:27,668 --> 00:14:29,148 Speaker 1: You're one of the best guys in the league. You 288 00:14:29,188 --> 00:14:31,908 Speaker 1: are a true ambassador of the game. I really mean that, 289 00:14:31,948 --> 00:14:33,988 Speaker 1: and I know you're really busy all offseasons, so I 290 00:14:34,028 --> 00:14:35,468 Speaker 1: love that you hopped on with us.

It's all funny 311 00:15:29,668 --> 00:15:34,588 Speaker 1: games until he goes elsewhere in the division. Oh yeah, anywhere. 312 00:15:34,708 --> 00:15:46,788 Speaker 1: We're gonna welcome back to Good Morning Football. Last week 313 00:15:46,828 --> 00:15:49,828 Speaker 1: we had a Good Morning Quarterback segment. We're gonna do 314 00:15:49,868 --> 00:15:52,668 Speaker 1: Good Morning running Back this week. And we've gotta do 315 00:15:52,668 --> 00:15:55,188 Speaker 1: some top five lists. These go viral. Last week I 316 00:15:55,188 --> 00:15:58,388 Speaker 1: gave my top five underrated quarterback list of all time. 317 00:15:58,428 --> 00:16:01,508 Speaker 1: I'm still getting tweets about Jim Hart and Burt Jones. 318 00:16:01,588 --> 00:16:03,908 Speaker 1: Let's get into the running back position though, and Let's 319 00:16:03,908 --> 00:16:08,068 Speaker 1: start off this week with a GMRB list on the 320 00:16:08,268 --> 00:16:12,468 Speaker 1: top five running backs under the age of twenty five, 321 00:16:12,948 --> 00:16:15,268 Speaker 1: and let's start off with number five on my list, 322 00:16:15,308 --> 00:16:19,588 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions RB one, Mister DeAndre Swift. DeAndre Swift 323 00:16:19,668 --> 00:16:22,228 Speaker 1: is twenty three years old and he is coming off 324 00:16:22,628 --> 00:16:25,828 Speaker 1: a big sophomore season. Though he had to miss four 325 00:16:25,908 --> 00:16:28,708 Speaker 1: games and split carries with Jamal Williams, he still put 326 00:16:28,748 --> 00:16:32,468 Speaker 1: over one thousand yards from scrimmage. He had six hundred 327 00:16:32,468 --> 00:16:35,668 Speaker 1: and seventeen yards on the ground five touchdowns. He's one 328 00:16:35,668 --> 00:16:38,188 Speaker 1: of the most talented past catching backs in the league, 329 00:16:38,428 --> 00:16:42,068 Speaker 1: second among running backs with both sixty two catches and 330 00:16:42,148 --> 00:16:45,428 Speaker 1: four hundred and fifty two yards last year. How about this, 331 00:16:45,868 --> 00:16:50,348 Speaker 1: seventeen total touchdowns in his first two seasons, and he 332 00:16:50,468 --> 00:16:52,988 Speaker 1: has been on an offense that has not only struggled, 333 00:16:52,988 --> 00:16:56,068 Speaker 1: but has changed a quarterback multiple times and does not 334 00:16:56,148 --> 00:16:59,188 Speaker 1: have the same star power that some of his contemporaries do. 335 00:16:59,388 --> 00:17:02,548 Speaker 1: I'm a huge DeAndre Swift fan. I believe in year 336 00:17:02,668 --> 00:17:05,468 Speaker 1: three he is going to put up huge numbers in 337 00:17:05,508 --> 00:17:08,228 Speaker 1: a Detroit offense that is now and yet another year 338 00:17:08,428 --> 00:17:10,988 Speaker 1: with their quarterback and some of their core players. Let's 339 00:17:10,988 --> 00:17:13,108 Speaker 1: go to number four, the big body in this one, 340 00:17:13,148 --> 00:17:15,228 Speaker 1: the one that's gonna bang you around. I'm going to 341 00:17:15,308 --> 00:17:18,708 Speaker 1: Denver with Javonte Williams, the second year running back for 342 00:17:18,868 --> 00:17:22,788 Speaker 1: the Broncos. Javonte Williams had a breakout rookie season, again 343 00:17:23,068 --> 00:17:27,308 Speaker 1: sharing carries with Melvin Gordon, and yet still put up 344 00:17:27,348 --> 00:17:31,788 Speaker 1: twelve hundred yards from scrimmage and had seven touchdowns. It 345 00:17:31,828 --> 00:17:35,148 Speaker 1: was a true fifty fifties flit with Gordon. Both guys 346 00:17:35,148 --> 00:17:37,548 Speaker 1: had exactly the same carries two hundred and three. Yet 347 00:17:37,548 --> 00:17:41,188 Speaker 1: when Javante touched the ball, people noticed, and that was 348 00:17:41,228 --> 00:17:43,908 Speaker 1: the game. When they played the Cowboys down there in Dallas, 349 00:17:43,908 --> 00:17:46,588 Speaker 1: everyone was like, who is number thirty three? Oh? That 350 00:17:46,788 --> 00:17:49,908 Speaker 1: is an absolute beast at the University in North Carolina. 351 00:17:50,068 --> 00:17:55,028 Speaker 1: This guy averaged four yards per carry after dirt contact. 352 00:17:55,908 --> 00:17:57,748 Speaker 1: One of the most impossible players in the league to 353 00:17:57,788 --> 00:18:01,868 Speaker 1: bring down. Now you add Russell Wilson, I think Javonte 354 00:18:01,948 --> 00:18:05,708 Speaker 1: Williams is just getting it. Star in this one here 355 00:18:05,748 --> 00:18:07,948 Speaker 1: against Kansas City where he actually caught the ball, he 356 00:18:08,028 --> 00:18:09,908 Speaker 1: was like, no, no, I'm not a one dimensional goal 357 00:18:09,948 --> 00:18:12,228 Speaker 1: line back. I can do it all again. Two hundred 358 00:18:12,228 --> 00:18:15,108 Speaker 1: and three carries and yet had over twelve hundred yards 359 00:18:15,108 --> 00:18:18,988 Speaker 1: of scrimmage. Javante Williams is still just twenty two years old. 360 00:18:19,068 --> 00:18:21,748 Speaker 1: Who's number three going another twenty two year old, though 361 00:18:21,748 --> 00:18:24,468 Speaker 1: he's entering the third year of his career, Cam Acres, 362 00:18:24,668 --> 00:18:26,948 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Rams. It's might be a little high on 363 00:18:26,988 --> 00:18:30,028 Speaker 1: some lists, considering he missed some time with injury last year, 364 00:18:30,108 --> 00:18:32,428 Speaker 1: doesn't have the huge stats, but I go back to 365 00:18:32,468 --> 00:18:34,028 Speaker 1: the way they were using him at the end of 366 00:18:34,068 --> 00:18:36,548 Speaker 1: twenty twenty and Cam Acres is one of the most 367 00:18:36,628 --> 00:18:40,428 Speaker 1: dynamic players, not just running backs in this league. Acres, 368 00:18:40,468 --> 00:18:44,348 Speaker 1: still just twenty two, was used out of the shotgun 369 00:18:44,468 --> 00:18:48,228 Speaker 1: in a wildcat during the divisional round playoffs multiple times, 370 00:18:48,548 --> 00:18:50,908 Speaker 1: and it was this version of cam Akers that you're like, 371 00:18:50,908 --> 00:18:54,468 Speaker 1: oh gosh, this guy has a whole other arsenal member. 372 00:18:54,668 --> 00:18:57,748 Speaker 1: He was a high school quarterback at the State of Mississippi. 373 00:18:57,948 --> 00:18:59,908 Speaker 1: He is a gadget guy when you need him to be. 374 00:19:00,068 --> 00:19:01,948 Speaker 1: He is a lead runner when you need him to be. 375 00:19:01,988 --> 00:19:04,548 Speaker 1: He could be a wide receiver in the slot when 376 00:19:04,548 --> 00:19:07,308 Speaker 1: you need him to be. Cam Akers suffered a preseason 377 00:19:07,308 --> 00:19:11,308 Speaker 1: achilles injury, still got back for their playoff run. Still 378 00:19:11,388 --> 00:19:14,028 Speaker 1: made an impact late and I believe this year were 379 00:19:14,028 --> 00:19:16,268 Speaker 1: the full off season to recover, he could be in 380 00:19:16,308 --> 00:19:19,628 Speaker 1: the contention for not only a Pro Bowl, but potentially 381 00:19:19,668 --> 00:19:23,108 Speaker 1: first team All Pro with that Rams offense, Which leads 382 00:19:23,188 --> 00:19:25,108 Speaker 1: us to number two. The guy that actually was on 383 00:19:25,148 --> 00:19:27,908 Speaker 1: the field last year and produced at that level, mister 384 00:19:27,988 --> 00:19:31,188 Speaker 1: Naji Harris in Pittsburgh. Naji came in as a first 385 00:19:31,268 --> 00:19:34,708 Speaker 1: round pick with all the expectations and delivered and then 386 00:19:34,748 --> 00:19:38,828 Speaker 1: went above and beyond what expectations were twelve hundred rushing yards, 387 00:19:39,188 --> 00:19:43,108 Speaker 1: four hundred and sixty seven receiving yards, finishing second among 388 00:19:43,228 --> 00:19:45,868 Speaker 1: all running backs in the league with yards from scrimmage. 389 00:19:45,868 --> 00:19:48,828 Speaker 1: He also had ten touchdowns, went to the Pro Bowl 390 00:19:48,828 --> 00:19:51,388 Speaker 1: as an alternate in his rookie year. Here's the thing 391 00:19:51,388 --> 00:19:54,988 Speaker 1: that I love. Led every running back with seventy four 392 00:19:55,108 --> 00:19:58,348 Speaker 1: catches out of the backfield and led the entire NFL 393 00:19:58,788 --> 00:20:02,108 Speaker 1: with three hundred and eighty one touches in his rookie year, 394 00:20:02,708 --> 00:20:05,908 Speaker 1: just getting started. This This is an incredible set if 395 00:20:05,908 --> 00:20:07,868 Speaker 1: you consider the fact that it was his first time 396 00:20:08,028 --> 00:20:11,668 Speaker 1: on an NFL gridiron. Naji's just getting started. I believe 397 00:20:11,708 --> 00:20:14,468 Speaker 1: this was just year one, and Matt Canada still is 398 00:20:14,508 --> 00:20:17,108 Speaker 1: there as the offensive coordinator, and you could argue that 399 00:20:17,148 --> 00:20:20,108 Speaker 1: Mitchell Trubiski or Kenny Pickett, either one of them, whoever starting, 400 00:20:20,268 --> 00:20:22,428 Speaker 1: is more mobile and can do more things out of 401 00:20:22,428 --> 00:20:25,188 Speaker 1: a pocket than what Ben was doing last year. Naji 402 00:20:25,268 --> 00:20:28,108 Speaker 1: Harris so much respect for this guy, huge personality, great 403 00:20:28,108 --> 00:20:29,908 Speaker 1: face for the league, and will be the face of 404 00:20:29,948 --> 00:20:32,548 Speaker 1: the Steelers backfield for years to come. But the number 405 00:20:32,548 --> 00:20:35,548 Speaker 1: one running back under twenty five is my number one 406 00:20:35,628 --> 00:20:38,068 Speaker 1: running back in the entire NFL, and that is mister 407 00:20:38,148 --> 00:20:41,508 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor at the University of Wisconsin. Taylor is still 408 00:20:41,548 --> 00:20:45,628 Speaker 1: just twenty three years old. That is scary stuff if 409 00:20:45,628 --> 00:20:48,948 Speaker 1: you're an NFL defensive coordinator. This guy's not going anywhere. 410 00:20:49,468 --> 00:20:52,908 Speaker 1: Led the league with eighteen hundred rushing yards, almost six 411 00:20:53,068 --> 00:20:55,628 Speaker 1: hundred more than the next closest player, which was Nick 412 00:20:55,708 --> 00:20:59,668 Speaker 1: Chubb average nearly six yards per carry. Also had a 413 00:20:59,788 --> 00:21:04,828 Speaker 1: league leading twenty two total touchdown. Now, I know Derrick 414 00:21:04,908 --> 00:21:06,988 Speaker 1: Henry got hurt, and there's gonna be Derrick Henry folks 415 00:21:06,988 --> 00:21:09,388 Speaker 1: out there saying, yeah, but what about Derek Henry Fair. 416 00:21:09,748 --> 00:21:12,068 Speaker 1: That's all fair, But when you're telling me you're leading 417 00:21:12,108 --> 00:21:14,628 Speaker 1: the league by more than six hundred yards and you're 418 00:21:14,668 --> 00:21:17,068 Speaker 1: a second year guy. What is Jonathan Taylor going to 419 00:21:17,148 --> 00:21:19,628 Speaker 1: do this year? I shudder to think what this guy's 420 00:21:19,668 --> 00:21:21,908 Speaker 1: about to do to the league. One of the smartest 421 00:21:22,028 --> 00:21:23,588 Speaker 1: running backs in the league, one of the running backs 422 00:21:23,628 --> 00:21:25,188 Speaker 1: were the best. It looks like he's leaving on Bella 423 00:21:25,188 --> 00:21:26,948 Speaker 1: out there with the vision. He'll do that stutter step 424 00:21:26,988 --> 00:21:28,748 Speaker 1: where he looks at the defense and then hits the 425 00:21:28,788 --> 00:21:31,068 Speaker 1: whole and he's nearly impossible to bring down. We had 426 00:21:31,068 --> 00:21:33,548 Speaker 1: the Gift of hard Knocks during the season where we 427 00:21:33,588 --> 00:21:37,948 Speaker 1: saw Jonathan Taylor in the running backs room taking fastidious notes. 428 00:21:38,068 --> 00:21:42,468 Speaker 1: Just an intellectual at the position, loves this sport. Brilliant, 429 00:21:42,828 --> 00:21:45,948 Speaker 1: brilliant player who has the physical traits to match it. 430 00:21:46,268 --> 00:21:51,508 Speaker 1: I don't think Jonathan Taylor is going anywhere with Oh 431 00:21:51,548 --> 00:21:55,108 Speaker 1: that beautiful Heart. Brings us to our favorite offseason segment 432 00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:57,068 Speaker 1: of all time in six years of the show. It's 433 00:21:57,068 --> 00:21:59,708 Speaker 1: called Spring Fling. Every day we are breaking down a 434 00:21:59,828 --> 00:22:02,788 Speaker 1: division and evaluating their draft class. Today we will focus 435 00:22:02,868 --> 00:22:05,868 Speaker 1: on the AFC West US Conrade. Some of us don't 436 00:22:05,948 --> 00:22:07,708 Speaker 1: just don't give a B plus. That's the one rule 437 00:22:07,748 --> 00:22:09,668 Speaker 1: of the segment. Per Peter Schrager, Why don't you start 438 00:22:09,748 --> 00:22:11,508 Speaker 1: us off with the Broncos. What they do. Yeah, the 439 00:22:11,588 --> 00:22:14,188 Speaker 1: Broncos didn't have a first round pick, and they'd waited 440 00:22:14,308 --> 00:22:16,748 Speaker 1: till the thirty second pick of the second round to 441 00:22:16,788 --> 00:22:20,668 Speaker 1: take some sixty fourth overall pick. This was the first 442 00:22:20,708 --> 00:22:24,148 Speaker 1: selection of Nathaniel Hackett's career as a head coach and 443 00:22:24,228 --> 00:22:28,348 Speaker 1: just the second draft of George Peyton. Nick Benito sitting there, 444 00:22:28,428 --> 00:22:30,668 Speaker 1: and I remember being at the draft being like, Nick 445 00:22:30,708 --> 00:22:32,788 Speaker 1: Benito still on the board. Why is Nick Benito there? 446 00:22:32,828 --> 00:22:35,468 Speaker 1: This great Oklahoma pass rusher. What's he doing out there? 447 00:22:35,508 --> 00:22:37,388 Speaker 1: Why is he still on the board. Here was George 448 00:22:37,388 --> 00:22:40,988 Speaker 1: Peyton's reaction when the Broncos were finally on the clock. 449 00:22:41,388 --> 00:22:47,028 Speaker 1: Nick Bonito at sixty four, he could play. And Nick 450 00:22:47,028 --> 00:22:49,308 Speaker 1: Monito at sixty four, Yeah, that might be his new nickname. 451 00:22:49,388 --> 00:22:53,348 Speaker 1: Nick Benito at sixty four, Holy bleef. Awesome player at Oklahoma. Now, 452 00:22:53,348 --> 00:22:56,468 Speaker 1: look they played in that quirky three three five defense 453 00:22:56,508 --> 00:22:58,868 Speaker 1: down there in Oklahoma. It didn't translate ass earily to 454 00:22:58,908 --> 00:23:01,508 Speaker 1: like NFL film, Nick Benito can play, He's all over 455 00:23:01,548 --> 00:23:03,988 Speaker 1: the field. You can go and depth out all these picks. 456 00:23:03,988 --> 00:23:06,908 Speaker 1: But the Broncos had a great offseason and that they 457 00:23:06,948 --> 00:23:09,868 Speaker 1: acquired Russell Wilson. I would also add Randy Gregor, who 458 00:23:09,908 --> 00:23:11,588 Speaker 1: is a good gut. DJ Jones is a great gut 459 00:23:11,588 --> 00:23:13,588 Speaker 1: and Nick Benito is in that conversation. I think he 460 00:23:13,628 --> 00:23:15,588 Speaker 1: makes an immediate impact and makes their defense, which was 461 00:23:15,628 --> 00:23:18,668 Speaker 1: already very good, even better. Broncos draft not a ton 462 00:23:18,668 --> 00:23:19,948 Speaker 1: of right up on him, because then in the first 463 00:23:20,028 --> 00:23:23,148 Speaker 1: round pick Nick Benito at sixty four, Holy bleep. Yeah, 464 00:23:23,508 --> 00:23:25,708 Speaker 1: talk about defenses in this division. So you better have 465 00:23:25,748 --> 00:23:27,708 Speaker 1: some offensive lineman. You better have some guys that can 466 00:23:27,748 --> 00:23:29,908 Speaker 1: block the Chargers. When you look at what they did 467 00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:33,348 Speaker 1: the Bird offensive lie last year, they basically resigned the 468 00:23:33,548 --> 00:23:36,668 Speaker 1: entire crew. They brought in Corey Lindsley through free agency, 469 00:23:36,748 --> 00:23:38,908 Speaker 1: but Ray Shawn Slater was a slam beout. Look who 470 00:23:38,948 --> 00:23:42,988 Speaker 1: they added here Zion Johnson, immediate week one starter and 471 00:23:43,108 --> 00:23:45,668 Speaker 1: an upgrade at guard. They also you look down that 472 00:23:45,708 --> 00:23:48,708 Speaker 1: list Jamari Sawyer, who we had on this show. Here 473 00:23:49,028 --> 00:23:51,148 Speaker 1: he's listed as a guard and he played left tackle 474 00:23:51,228 --> 00:23:53,908 Speaker 1: for Georgia. So I think he's gonna slide over to 475 00:23:53,948 --> 00:23:56,508 Speaker 1: the right side. And you know, for all these Chargers fans, 476 00:23:56,548 --> 00:23:59,028 Speaker 1: you will welcome that, I'm sure. So they did a 477 00:23:59,028 --> 00:24:01,948 Speaker 1: great job solidifying this offense, and it's all about protecting 478 00:24:01,948 --> 00:24:07,268 Speaker 1: Herbert right now, right so jamars He's very versatile. Zion 479 00:24:07,388 --> 00:24:09,388 Speaker 1: Johnson out of Boston College, I thought he was the 480 00:24:09,388 --> 00:24:11,428 Speaker 1: best guard come out of the draft. Reminds me a 481 00:24:11,468 --> 00:24:14,668 Speaker 1: lot of Roger Saffold has. Has great balance, you never 482 00:24:14,708 --> 00:24:17,948 Speaker 1: see him on the ground. He's phenomenal, got great power, 483 00:24:18,148 --> 00:24:21,948 Speaker 1: phenomenal athlete. He's gonna farewell out in LA. But I 484 00:24:22,028 --> 00:24:24,908 Speaker 1: love what the Chargers did, um and then you think 485 00:24:24,948 --> 00:24:27,588 Speaker 1: about defensively, they got JT. Woods a safety, so I 486 00:24:27,588 --> 00:24:31,348 Speaker 1: got him back there with Durwin James. If you're a 487 00:24:31,388 --> 00:24:33,388 Speaker 1: Chargers fan right now, I mean you're plugged in. The 488 00:24:33,468 --> 00:24:35,228 Speaker 1: lightning bolts are coming out of your you know what 489 00:24:35,588 --> 00:24:38,468 Speaker 1: now with this draft and how young this your ears 490 00:24:38,708 --> 00:24:42,868 Speaker 1: your ears right? You know you know what? Well, listen, 491 00:24:42,908 --> 00:24:45,868 Speaker 1: this spring plane has particular stakes, guys. This is the 492 00:24:45,908 --> 00:24:48,068 Speaker 1: most electric one we've done, not only because the Chargers, 493 00:24:48,068 --> 00:24:50,228 Speaker 1: because the division. We've been talking about this division for 494 00:24:50,228 --> 00:24:51,708 Speaker 1: two straight months, and I got to go to the 495 00:24:51,748 --> 00:24:53,388 Speaker 1: team that's been owning it and only in really the 496 00:24:53,428 --> 00:24:55,708 Speaker 1: AFC as much as they can at last half decade. 497 00:24:55,748 --> 00:24:57,988 Speaker 1: It's the Chiefs. With due respect to the interior linement, 498 00:24:57,988 --> 00:25:00,228 Speaker 1: Sean and your favorite guard. That was not the deal 499 00:25:00,268 --> 00:25:02,428 Speaker 1: here with the Chiefs. You saw them against the Bills, 500 00:25:02,828 --> 00:25:06,548 Speaker 1: you saw them against the Bengals. We got corners, pass rushers, 501 00:25:06,588 --> 00:25:09,228 Speaker 1: wide receivers, safeties. In fact, they didn't take an offensive 502 00:25:09,308 --> 00:25:11,788 Speaker 1: lineman until their seventh pick. Had a lot of picks. 503 00:25:11,788 --> 00:25:15,228 Speaker 1: Trent McDuffie is the headliner here. Trade with the Patriots 504 00:25:15,268 --> 00:25:17,228 Speaker 1: to land him. That's how much Brett Veach liked him. 505 00:25:17,428 --> 00:25:20,548 Speaker 1: And that means day one starter, that's guy is going 506 00:25:20,588 --> 00:25:22,148 Speaker 1: to be out there, whether it's the nickel or the 507 00:25:22,188 --> 00:25:25,268 Speaker 1: corner Week one for the Kansas City Chiefs, that's the expectation. 508 00:25:25,308 --> 00:25:26,868 Speaker 1: So who the hell knows are they're going to play? 509 00:25:27,188 --> 00:25:28,988 Speaker 1: And then all right, the other guy that Sean talked 510 00:25:29,028 --> 00:25:30,668 Speaker 1: about him earlier in the week, Peter, I know you 511 00:25:30,668 --> 00:25:32,508 Speaker 1: have your thoughts and you got your car laftists and 512 00:25:32,548 --> 00:25:35,468 Speaker 1: all that. Can we talk about skymore sky Moore is 513 00:25:35,508 --> 00:25:38,108 Speaker 1: out of the mac that's sk with a double why 514 00:25:38,628 --> 00:25:42,548 Speaker 1: double Why? Because they lost Tyreek Hill. That's why Western Michigan. Now. 515 00:25:42,588 --> 00:25:45,068 Speaker 1: He is much smaller than Marquez. He is not the 516 00:25:45,068 --> 00:25:48,188 Speaker 1: same body type as Juju. He is small, he is fast, 517 00:25:48,268 --> 00:25:49,628 Speaker 1: he is that guy that is going to hit a 518 00:25:49,668 --> 00:25:51,668 Speaker 1: home run from them, and I think they liked him 519 00:25:51,708 --> 00:25:54,148 Speaker 1: that much. I think veat for if you say one 520 00:25:54,148 --> 00:25:55,428 Speaker 1: thing about him in this draft, he had a lot 521 00:25:55,468 --> 00:25:57,988 Speaker 1: of conviction, knew who he liked. The picks came and quick. 522 00:25:58,028 --> 00:26:00,348 Speaker 1: The picks sometimes we're traded for. And this is going 523 00:26:00,428 --> 00:26:01,868 Speaker 1: to be a question of we know they're gonna be 524 00:26:01,908 --> 00:26:03,988 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Is Skymore going to make a play 525 00:26:03,988 --> 00:26:05,988 Speaker 1: in the divisi no round? Is there are other other picks? 526 00:26:05,988 --> 00:26:07,508 Speaker 1: Are gonna make a play in the title game? That's 527 00:26:07,508 --> 00:26:09,268 Speaker 1: the question here. The Chiefs are always when you look 528 00:26:09,268 --> 00:26:12,028 Speaker 1: at because at their dominance and this division is big. 529 00:26:12,068 --> 00:26:14,148 Speaker 1: They got faster and they got more athletic and I 530 00:26:14,188 --> 00:26:16,548 Speaker 1: like it me too. Let's talk about the Raiders. Wrap 531 00:26:16,628 --> 00:26:20,428 Speaker 1: up our spring fleeing AFC West faded, Makeman and Josh picks. 532 00:26:20,468 --> 00:26:23,228 Speaker 1: In fact, their first and second round picks were d 533 00:26:23,308 --> 00:26:25,468 Speaker 1: Vante Adams. They did not have one, but that was 534 00:26:25,508 --> 00:26:26,788 Speaker 1: your draft pick, and you know he's going to be 535 00:26:26,828 --> 00:26:29,988 Speaker 1: a massive difference maker. Reunited with Derek Carr. We love 536 00:26:30,108 --> 00:26:33,188 Speaker 1: that outside. Here's what jumps out to me. They take 537 00:26:33,228 --> 00:26:35,508 Speaker 1: two running backs, right, Zameer White from George in the 538 00:26:35,508 --> 00:26:38,828 Speaker 1: fourth round Briton and Brown from Ucley. That's the seventh Vegas, 539 00:26:38,868 --> 00:26:42,468 Speaker 1: interestingly enough, decline Josh Jacob's fifth year option. So one 540 00:26:42,468 --> 00:26:44,588 Speaker 1: of these guys, maybe both of them, is going to 541 00:26:44,628 --> 00:26:47,708 Speaker 1: inherit a workload and probably get going sometime this season. 542 00:26:47,748 --> 00:26:50,188 Speaker 1: I do think the Zamere White is very intriguing, right 543 00:26:50,468 --> 00:26:55,148 Speaker 1: or four crazy? And here's the thing. Was that an anger? 544 00:26:55,188 --> 00:26:57,868 Speaker 1: It was awesome. I was looking at my forty. Sorry, 545 00:26:58,628 --> 00:27:00,588 Speaker 1: there's that speed, there's that four four. Here's why it's 546 00:27:00,588 --> 00:27:03,188 Speaker 1: interesting to me. Everybody wants to talk about Dalvin Cook's 547 00:27:03,188 --> 00:27:05,348 Speaker 1: little brother, and he was draft after two rounds ahead 548 00:27:05,348 --> 00:27:07,148 Speaker 1: of him. But who was the starting running back for 549 00:27:07,188 --> 00:27:09,588 Speaker 1: this Georgia team. It was the mere That's he was 550 00:27:09,628 --> 00:27:12,028 Speaker 1: the guy. We had the same situation a couple of 551 00:27:12,148 --> 00:27:14,948 Speaker 1: years ago with a pair of Georgia running backs, Sony Michelle, 552 00:27:15,028 --> 00:27:17,148 Speaker 1: taken well ahead of Nick Chubb and who ended up 553 00:27:17,188 --> 00:27:20,228 Speaker 1: being the world beating star. It's Nick Chubbs. It wouldn't 554 00:27:20,228 --> 00:27:22,428 Speaker 1: be surprised if history repeats itself in this way. Not 555 00:27:22,508 --> 00:27:24,908 Speaker 1: many people talking about this draft pick, probably because of 556 00:27:24,908 --> 00:27:26,508 Speaker 1: where he was taken, but I kind of like him 557 00:27:26,508 --> 00:27:28,148 Speaker 1: a lot, and they need to figure out a run game. 558 00:27:28,188 --> 00:27:30,628 Speaker 1: And I'm surprised they didn't bring back Josh Jacobs on it. 559 00:27:30,748 --> 00:27:32,748 Speaker 1: He'll be back. It's just he's got to prove himself 560 00:27:32,748 --> 00:27:34,428 Speaker 1: for that fifth year and then I'll see what the 561 00:27:34,428 --> 00:27:36,588 Speaker 1: contract is the Mere White, if you watched all those 562 00:27:36,588 --> 00:27:38,988 Speaker 1: big playoff games, like he was the one and Cook 563 00:27:39,108 --> 00:27:40,708 Speaker 1: was the one A and Cook got a lot of 564 00:27:40,708 --> 00:27:42,388 Speaker 1: love because he went to Buffalo, and I'll think James 565 00:27:42,388 --> 00:27:44,068 Speaker 1: Cook went two rounds earlier than him. I don't know 566 00:27:44,068 --> 00:27:46,588 Speaker 1: if White can run, and he can apparently hit that right. 567 00:27:46,948 --> 00:27:49,788 Speaker 1: That wasn't awesome run Clemson too, I don't know why 568 00:27:49,788 --> 00:27:52,108 Speaker 1: we've ben seen all. That was a very very impactful run. Peter. 569 00:27:52,148 --> 00:27:53,908 Speaker 1: Every single year you picked the Chiefs to get to 570 00:27:53,948 --> 00:27:55,748 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. Have you been thinking about your division 571 00:27:56,028 --> 00:27:58,308 Speaker 1: this year? How are you feeling you don't have to 572 00:27:58,308 --> 00:27:59,868 Speaker 1: give it or anything? Just yeah, we've got a long 573 00:27:59,908 --> 00:28:02,828 Speaker 1: time to go. But the Broncos are really good, Raiders 574 00:28:02,828 --> 00:28:04,828 Speaker 1: are really good, and the Chargers are really good. I 575 00:28:04,828 --> 00:28:07,188 Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna go Chiefs again. Okay, what 576 00:28:07,308 --> 00:28:10,228 Speaker 1: is your Russell Wilson's thing? Russell Wilson has me the 577 00:28:10,308 --> 00:28:12,988 Speaker 1: last two years, Watson fears. Tom Brady went to Tampa, 578 00:28:14,468 --> 00:28:18,628 Speaker 1: Matt Stafford mate Stafford goes to La rejuvenate Russell. Wilson 579 00:28:18,668 --> 00:28:20,308 Speaker 1: has this like glow and click to him and the 580 00:28:20,348 --> 00:28:22,308 Speaker 1: way those guys are all talking like I sense it, 581 00:28:22,348 --> 00:28:24,268 Speaker 1: I smell it, I feel it. The Broncos might be 582 00:28:24,308 --> 00:28:26,388 Speaker 1: the team this year. It sounds like more than a 583 00:28:26,428 --> 00:28:28,748 Speaker 1: fling for you. Maybe it is. Do you feel the 584 00:28:28,748 --> 00:28:32,148 Speaker 1: same way about Matt Ryan Indianapolis? No, No, it's the 585 00:28:32,188 --> 00:28:34,268 Speaker 1: same pattern you. I was just following the pattern rout 586 00:28:34,348 --> 00:28:36,148 Speaker 1: but you don't. But he was the MVP and you 587 00:28:36,188 --> 00:28:37,988 Speaker 1: are Russell. Now, I was on a good rust. Wilson's 588 00:28:37,988 --> 00:28:39,628 Speaker 1: never got an end. The few vote is it because 589 00:28:39,628 --> 00:28:41,268 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan doesn't come on our show in a few years. 590 00:28:41,428 --> 00:28:42,908 Speaker 1: Maybe he should come on our show and talk about 591 00:28:42,908 --> 00:28:45,828 Speaker 1: their Week four game against the Jaguars and we'll talk 592 00:28:45,828 --> 00:29:06,548 Speaker 1: about it. Would you like their defense? Defense? It is 593 00:29:06,588 --> 00:29:10,748 Speaker 1: time now for another edition of g M w R 594 00:29:10,868 --> 00:29:13,228 Speaker 1: All we got along. We've been doing top five lists 595 00:29:13,268 --> 00:29:17,468 Speaker 1: in a variety of wide receiver categories, so today I 596 00:29:17,508 --> 00:29:20,468 Speaker 1: am wrapping up this week with my list of the 597 00:29:20,508 --> 00:29:26,348 Speaker 1: top five underrated wide receivers in NFL history. None of 598 00:29:26,348 --> 00:29:29,548 Speaker 1: these guys are in the Hall of Fame, yet all 599 00:29:29,548 --> 00:29:32,708 Speaker 1: of them, in one way or another, certainly have Hall 600 00:29:32,748 --> 00:29:36,148 Speaker 1: of Fame type credentials. Let's start out at number five 601 00:29:36,188 --> 00:29:40,308 Speaker 1: with the longtime Jaguar Jimmy Smith, a guy who looks 602 00:29:40,388 --> 00:29:42,588 Speaker 1: like a lot of the receivers in the NFL right 603 00:29:42,588 --> 00:29:45,228 Speaker 1: now in terms of the size and the speed. He 604 00:29:45,268 --> 00:29:47,868 Speaker 1: had a remarkable journey. Second round picks by the Cowboys 605 00:29:47,868 --> 00:29:50,588 Speaker 1: back in nineteen ninety two, he had some injuries, they're 606 00:29:50,828 --> 00:29:53,548 Speaker 1: released without playing a game, goes to camp with the Eagles, 607 00:29:53,708 --> 00:29:56,308 Speaker 1: gets released the following year. He didn't have a catch 608 00:29:56,708 --> 00:29:59,548 Speaker 1: until his fourth year in the league in nineteen ninety five, 609 00:29:59,588 --> 00:30:01,708 Speaker 1: and all he did was go on to make five 610 00:30:01,828 --> 00:30:03,868 Speaker 1: Pro Bowls. If you go back and look at the 611 00:30:03,988 --> 00:30:08,068 Speaker 1: most seasons with one thousand receiving yards at the time 612 00:30:08,308 --> 00:30:10,668 Speaker 1: that Jimmy Smith decided to walk away after two thousand 613 00:30:10,668 --> 00:30:15,068 Speaker 1: and five, only Jerry Rice had more one thousand yards seasons, 614 00:30:15,068 --> 00:30:18,268 Speaker 1: and Smith was tied with another Hall of Famer, Tim Brown. 615 00:30:18,428 --> 00:30:22,108 Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith certainly belongs on the underrated wide receiver list. 616 00:30:22,228 --> 00:30:24,908 Speaker 1: Let's go now to number four, a guy who still 617 00:30:24,908 --> 00:30:28,308 Speaker 1: has a shot to make the Hall of Fame. Tory Holt, 618 00:30:28,428 --> 00:30:31,028 Speaker 1: the long time RAM was actually hosting Total Access with 619 00:30:31,108 --> 00:30:33,148 Speaker 1: US a couple of weeks ago. Of course, a member 620 00:30:33,148 --> 00:30:35,028 Speaker 1: of the Greatest Show on Turf, you won a Super 621 00:30:35,028 --> 00:30:38,628 Speaker 1: Bowl with the Rams, seven time Pro Bowl selection and 622 00:30:38,708 --> 00:30:42,108 Speaker 1: just an absolute game breaker. Again, you go back when 623 00:30:42,148 --> 00:30:45,468 Speaker 1: his career ended, You're talking consecutive seasons with at least 624 00:30:45,548 --> 00:30:49,268 Speaker 1: thirteen hundred receiving yards, which was largely unheard of prior 625 00:30:49,308 --> 00:30:51,908 Speaker 1: to the days of the Greatest Show on Turf. Tory 626 00:30:51,948 --> 00:30:55,548 Speaker 1: Holt had the most six seasons of at least thirteen 627 00:30:55,628 --> 00:30:58,268 Speaker 1: hundred receiving yards. You'd calculate that out to what he 628 00:30:58,308 --> 00:31:01,148 Speaker 1: was doing in a weekend and week out basis. Tory 629 00:31:01,188 --> 00:31:04,588 Speaker 1: hold always made an impact. Now at number three, let's 630 00:31:04,588 --> 00:31:07,148 Speaker 1: stick with the same franchise. I'll albeit through a couple 631 00:31:07,148 --> 00:31:11,148 Speaker 1: of different cities here the Rams. Henry Ellard makes this list. 632 00:31:11,228 --> 00:31:13,468 Speaker 1: Of course, Henry Allard also went on does some pretty 633 00:31:13,468 --> 00:31:17,908 Speaker 1: good days with the Washington football team sixteen NFL seasons 634 00:31:18,068 --> 00:31:21,028 Speaker 1: in all, never really had great quarterback play. Go back 635 00:31:21,028 --> 00:31:23,588 Speaker 1: through the list the guys that caught passes from Jeff Kemp, 636 00:31:23,988 --> 00:31:28,188 Speaker 1: Jim Everett, Heath Schuler when he was in Washington, yet again, 637 00:31:28,228 --> 00:31:31,268 Speaker 1: another player that when he walked away after the nineteen 638 00:31:31,388 --> 00:31:35,108 Speaker 1: ninety eight season, he was top ten in receptions. He 639 00:31:35,228 --> 00:31:39,108 Speaker 1: was third all time in receiving yards, tied for third 640 00:31:39,308 --> 00:31:43,748 Speaker 1: in one thousand yards receiving seasons. In my very earliest 641 00:31:43,908 --> 00:31:48,228 Speaker 1: days of playing fantasy football with family members, Henry Ellard 642 00:31:48,508 --> 00:31:51,188 Speaker 1: was always a very popular pick. That's not the only reason, 643 00:31:51,228 --> 00:31:53,148 Speaker 1: but let's be honest, it's maybe a little bit of 644 00:31:53,148 --> 00:31:55,588 Speaker 1: the reason that he makes this list as well at 645 00:31:55,708 --> 00:31:58,188 Speaker 1: number two. A player who would absolutely be in the 646 00:31:58,228 --> 00:32:01,348 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame if his career had not been cut short. 647 00:32:01,868 --> 00:32:05,668 Speaker 1: Sterling Shark, the former Green Bay Packer. Go back to 648 00:32:05,788 --> 00:32:08,508 Speaker 1: his three years that he had with gret Fare from 649 00:32:08,588 --> 00:32:13,348 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two to nineteen ninety four, he averaged averaged 650 00:32:13,708 --> 00:32:16,948 Speaker 1: one one hundred and five catches, one thousand, two hundred 651 00:32:16,948 --> 00:32:20,348 Speaker 1: and eighty five yards, and fourteen touchdowns. You look at 652 00:32:20,348 --> 00:32:22,588 Speaker 1: his highlight reel, he's as good as any receiver in 653 00:32:22,628 --> 00:32:26,268 Speaker 1: the NFL today. Ended up retiring after the nineteen ninety 654 00:32:26,268 --> 00:32:29,428 Speaker 1: four seasons and because of a neck injury. Last year, 655 00:32:29,508 --> 00:32:32,068 Speaker 1: Tony Basselli was elected to the Hall of Fame. He 656 00:32:32,068 --> 00:32:35,028 Speaker 1: only played seven season before injuries cut his career short 657 00:32:35,348 --> 00:32:38,228 Speaker 1: Sterling Sharp now out of Hall of Fame eligibility, but 658 00:32:38,268 --> 00:32:41,868 Speaker 1: he played the same amount of seasons seven in all. 659 00:32:41,908 --> 00:32:43,788 Speaker 1: It's a crime that he's not in the Hall of Fame. 660 00:32:43,908 --> 00:32:46,508 Speaker 1: Maybe something that they'll take up down the line. He 661 00:32:46,588 --> 00:32:50,188 Speaker 1: walked away fourteenth in receptions, third receiving yards per game, 662 00:32:50,428 --> 00:32:52,148 Speaker 1: tied for twenty six and touchdowns. But we didn't that 663 00:32:52,188 --> 00:32:54,988 Speaker 1: in only seven years, just seven way shorter than all 664 00:32:54,988 --> 00:32:58,108 Speaker 1: those Hall of famers ended up played in their careers. Finally, 665 00:32:58,468 --> 00:33:00,388 Speaker 1: at number one, I know we've built up a lot 666 00:33:00,428 --> 00:33:02,908 Speaker 1: of drama across the course of this list. This name 667 00:33:02,988 --> 00:33:06,028 Speaker 1: might be less familiar, especial to younger fans than the 668 00:33:06,068 --> 00:33:08,548 Speaker 1: other names that we had on this list. It is 669 00:33:08,628 --> 00:33:13,468 Speaker 1: the longtime wide receiver starting in the nineteen sixties, Harold Jackson. 670 00:33:13,868 --> 00:33:16,228 Speaker 1: If you don't know that name, let me present you 671 00:33:16,548 --> 00:33:19,908 Speaker 1: the highlights of Harold Jackson and you tell me that 672 00:33:19,948 --> 00:33:22,348 Speaker 1: there is a more fun guy to watch with the 673 00:33:22,468 --> 00:33:25,308 Speaker 1: ball in his hands. He made five Pro Bowls over 674 00:33:25,348 --> 00:33:28,668 Speaker 1: sixteen seasons. He's breaking tackles. He's not a huge guy 675 00:33:29,068 --> 00:33:32,028 Speaker 1: in space. He was elusive, he was tough to stop. 676 00:33:32,228 --> 00:33:35,588 Speaker 1: Didn't retire until after nineteen eighty three, and he does 677 00:33:35,668 --> 00:33:38,508 Speaker 1: have the stats to match up with anybody else. When 678 00:33:38,548 --> 00:33:41,388 Speaker 1: he walked away after the nineteen eighty three season, the 679 00:33:41,428 --> 00:33:44,908 Speaker 1: only player in NFL history with more receiving yards than 680 00:33:45,028 --> 00:33:48,188 Speaker 1: him was Don Mayner, who was in the Hall of Fame, 681 00:33:48,508 --> 00:33:51,948 Speaker 1: as are Lanceolworth, Charlie Joyner, and Raymond Barry, the other 682 00:33:51,948 --> 00:33:54,628 Speaker 1: guys who were in the top five at that point 683 00:33:54,948 --> 00:33:58,708 Speaker 1: in NFL history, and then through the nineteen seventies number 684 00:33:58,708 --> 00:34:01,828 Speaker 1: one in receptions, number one in receiving yards, number one 685 00:34:01,908 --> 00:34:05,428 Speaker 1: in receiving touchdown. He was not elect to the All 686 00:34:05,588 --> 00:34:08,668 Speaker 1: Decade Team for the nineteen seventies, would certainly would think 687 00:34:08,948 --> 00:34:12,428 Speaker 1: worked against him in terms of his Hall of Fame candidacy. 688 00:34:12,748 --> 00:34:16,708 Speaker 1: But they're listed right there, Harold Jackson number one on 689 00:34:16,708 --> 00:34:19,508 Speaker 1: my list for top five underrated receivers of all time 690 00:34:19,548 --> 00:34:22,028 Speaker 1: to have by Strolling Sharp and Ry, Ellard Tory Holt, 691 00:34:22,148 --> 00:34:26,948 Speaker 1: Jimmy Smith, Kyle Gret your thoughts. I have incredible respect 692 00:34:26,988 --> 00:34:30,148 Speaker 1: for this list, Tim and Harold Jackson, a twelfth round 693 00:34:30,148 --> 00:34:34,428 Speaker 1: pick out of Jackson's state, pulling from the headlines. Incredible 694 00:34:34,468 --> 00:34:36,988 Speaker 1: that you harolded him there quickly. I think if Sterling 695 00:34:37,068 --> 00:34:39,268 Speaker 1: Sharpe would not have gotten injured and would have gone 696 00:34:39,268 --> 00:34:41,948 Speaker 1: with far through all those MVP seas of the nineties. 697 00:34:42,188 --> 00:34:44,788 Speaker 1: We could be having a conversation with him and Randy 698 00:34:44,828 --> 00:34:47,788 Speaker 1: Moss and Jerry Rice. He was that good. Lastly, Tory Holt, 699 00:34:47,988 --> 00:34:52,388 Speaker 1: what works against them is kurtz In, Marshall's in, Isaacson, 700 00:34:52,668 --> 00:34:55,348 Speaker 1: Orlando's in. There are already four Hall of Famers from 701 00:34:55,348 --> 00:34:58,188 Speaker 1: one huddle, and that's not Tory Holt's fault. Tory Hart 702 00:34:58,268 --> 00:34:59,868 Speaker 1: deserved to be in as well. What do you got? 703 00:34:59,948 --> 00:35:02,908 Speaker 1: Will totally agree. I think I would add one name 704 00:35:02,948 --> 00:35:05,948 Speaker 1: to that list to another Smith. Rod Smith doesn't get 705 00:35:05,988 --> 00:35:09,588 Speaker 1: talked about a lot just because he's overshadowed by Terrell 706 00:35:09,708 --> 00:35:13,868 Speaker 1: Davis and John Elway. Over eleven thousand yards in his career, 707 00:35:13,988 --> 00:35:17,628 Speaker 1: slightly less than Michael Irvin eleven hundred yards in a 708 00:35:17,668 --> 00:35:21,148 Speaker 1: Super Bowl season. He had over sixteen hundred yards one 709 00:35:21,268 --> 00:35:24,668 Speaker 1: year with Brian Greasy and Gus far Rott as his quarterback, 710 00:35:24,948 --> 00:35:27,148 Speaker 1: and then one year he led the league in catches 711 00:35:27,628 --> 00:35:32,708 Speaker 1: with Brian Greasy as well. So Rod Smith, great name 712 00:35:32,788 --> 00:35:36,068 Speaker 1: that's out there either way, Tom, that was an excellent list. 713 00:35:36,228 --> 00:35:39,108 Speaker 1: Felt like I learned a lot. Hey, thank you for 714 00:35:39,268 --> 00:35:42,148 Speaker 1: what We're gonna catch you guys tomorrow with more of 715 00:35:42,188 --> 00:35:45,148 Speaker 1: our very best, our very best, best, very best
