Speaker 4: with him in the studio there. He is headed to
Speaker 4: the Combine today and we'll see him from Indianapolis the
Speaker 4: rest of the week. And of course, Cody Kessler back
Speaker 4: in the hot seat. You former USC quarterback drafted by
Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns. How's life? How are you quarterbacking the
Speaker 4: show right now?
Speaker 5: It's been a lot of fun. I'm enjoying it.
Speaker 6: Day one was awesome. Day two I feel a little
Speaker 6: more settled in right. It's like yesterday was the first
Speaker 6: day school. Yeah, and I got my outfit picked out.
Speaker 6: Everything was good. Now the second day, I'm making some friends.
Speaker 3: I'm getting comfortable.
Speaker 6: But now I love talking football, so I could do.
Speaker 5: It forever, right, shregs. Welcome to the lunch table.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love being here.
Speaker 7: Cody, You've been awesome. Manti of course you've been fantastic. Yesterday,
Speaker 7: Cody Kessler showed us his combine footage where he had
Speaker 7: these lime green fluorescent shoes that he was throwing in
Speaker 7: baggy shorts, big baggy shirt, just throwing dimes and dots
Speaker 7: all over the field. Cody, where are those lime green
Speaker 7: shoes that you wore at the combine in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 5: Shregs, You're gonna love this.
Speaker 6: So not only do I have lime green, I have
Speaker 6: like a hot orange type color undramer ones. I have
Speaker 6: some other So when you're going through the combine, Mantile.
Speaker 5: Will tell you.
Speaker 6: They just start sending you stuff right when you're training
Speaker 6: at a different place for whatever reason. When I was coming
Speaker 6: out of college, and it was right around twenty fifteen,
Speaker 6: twenty sixteen, Neon was the vibe. Everyone was doing Neon.
Speaker 6: So the green plates to orange. We had hot pink.
Speaker 6: We had a yellow, like a highlighter yellow.
Speaker 5: So you let me know, Shregs, what you want.
Speaker 6: I'm a size fourteen, so I'm a little bigger than
Speaker 6: the twelve.
Speaker 5: We can make it work.
Speaker 6: Just put a couple pairs of socks on and you
Speaker 6: can fit right in them.
Speaker 3: I love it, dude.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: Let's go.
Speaker 4: We always want to be able to find Peter in
Speaker 4: a crowd and with me, choose that will do it.
Speaker 4: Let's go to Indianapolis. We saw some of that vintage
Speaker 4: footage from Manti and Cody yesterday. But guys are trying
Speaker 4: to make a name for themselves this week ahead of
Speaker 4: the NFL scouting combine. Those are the tight ends they
Speaker 4: are beginning to report as well. On the right side,
Speaker 4: you are seeing tight end number fifteen. That is Colston
Speaker 4: Loveland out of Michigan. He is Peter Scheger's number nine
Speaker 4: on his top ten list. We revealed six through ten
Speaker 4: last hour, and we will be waiting on baited breath
Speaker 4: for five through one tomorrow Tom Pellasero. Until then, let's
Speaker 4: check in on some of the big names that may
Speaker 4: or may not be participating. Can we start in the
Speaker 4: Big ten with the Penn State star Abdul Carter and
Speaker 4: how his shoulder injury might be affecting his combine training.
Speaker 8: Jamie Abdul Carter is not going to be participating here
Speaker 8: at the combine. Doctor Daniel Cooper, who's a noted medical expert,
Speaker 8: examined his shoulder that he injured back in the Boise
Speaker 8: State game. Recently, Cooper sate letter to team saying he
Speaker 8: will be cleared in time to participate in Penn State's
Speaker 8: pro day at the end of March, but not going
Speaker 8: to be out there this week at the Combine. Now,
Speaker 8: that's not entirely unusual either for top prospects to not
Speaker 8: to end up participating in the on field drills here
Speaker 8: in Indianapolis. Another one that you can add to the list,
Speaker 8: Ashton Genty, the Boise State running back. He's also going
Speaker 8: to wait for his pro day. Shador Sanders of course
Speaker 8: opted out of participating here in the Combine. But we've
Speaker 8: got a lot of the other top prospects that are
Speaker 8: going to be out here. Will Campbell, Can I interest
Speaker 8: you in an offensive lineman who's going to put up
Speaker 8: really cool numbers?
Speaker 3: He's going to be out here.
Speaker 8: There's going to be a three hundred plus prospects all
Speaker 8: working out. It all begins on Thursday, right here on
Speaker 8: NFL Network.
Speaker 4: Jamie, All right, Tom, what about the quarterbacks? I feel
Speaker 4: like we can't have a conversation between you and I
Speaker 4: without saying somebody's name that throws a football on what
Speaker 4: we care about this weekend? So those guys work out
Speaker 4: on Saturday. Any enlightening information you want to share with
Speaker 4: us just right now?
Speaker 8: Well, Jamie the top quarterback prospect for a lot of people.
Speaker 8: Miami's cam Ward is undecided. I am told participating here
Speaker 8: at the scouting combine. He has been doing combine type workouts.
Speaker 8: He's been preparing as if he is going to go
Speaker 8: through a throwing session, but still deciding exactly what he
Speaker 8: intends to do this week. Quarterbacks are arriving in town today,
Speaker 8: so I would anticipate those decisions are going to be
Speaker 8: made relatively soon. As for the rest of the quarterbacks
Speaker 8: other than Shador Sanders, I anticipate all of them throwing
Speaker 8: out here this week. That includes Texas when yours, who
Speaker 8: was beat up last season he had a tornal bleak
Speaker 8: initially separate.
Speaker 2: In the Michigan game.
Speaker 8: Dealt with that more or less the entire season. He
Speaker 8: is healthy now and told he's up to about two
Speaker 8: hundred and fifteen pounds. He's been watching tape with Mike
Speaker 8: McCarthy this week preparing for his interviews at the combine.
Speaker 8: McCarthy had nothing but good things to say about twin yours,
Speaker 8: who's going to get his opportunity to show should he
Speaker 8: be QB three? Could he even be QB two? The
Speaker 8: lot on the line here in Indianapolis. Jackson Dart is
Speaker 8: also going to throw here at the combine. Riley Leonard
Speaker 8: from Notre Dame is going to be a participant. Jalen
Speaker 8: Milroe from Alabama. A lot of big names college football
Speaker 8: that you watched on Saturdays getting their opportunities show they
Speaker 8: belong on Sundays. All starts here in Indianapolis.
Speaker 3: Jam Tom, thank you so much.
Speaker 4: Next segment on GMTP, Cody Kessler, whether or not they
Speaker 4: are participating in the combine. He's going to break down
Speaker 4: some of those quarterbacks that Tom just named, So stay
Speaker 4: tuned on GMTP until then. Let's stick with the offensive
Speaker 4: side of the ball. We're going to have some names
Speaker 4: that we're going to throw at the board, Peter, pick
Speaker 4: a quarterback, pick a running back. Let's go around the
Speaker 4: table and just kick around some of these names, Peter,
Speaker 4: that you are hearing about and you want to enlighten
Speaker 4: people on I want.
Speaker 7: To talk Jackson Dart. Hey, he's got a very cool name,
Speaker 7: Jackson Dart. His brother's name is Diesel Dart, so I
Speaker 7: think that's one of the two coolest names you can imagine.
Speaker 7: But Jackson darts story is interesting. He was the National
Speaker 7: Gatorade Player of the Year coming out of high school,
Speaker 7: and he committed to USC, played a year at USC,
Speaker 7: and then he transferred to Ole Miss, where for the
Speaker 7: past three seasons he's been their primary starter and has
Speaker 7: been electric. In the last two years they went eleven
Speaker 7: and two and ten and three, and Jackson Dart was
Speaker 7: the starting quarterback and a loaded SEC. And this guy
Speaker 7: put up huge, huge numbers four two and seventy nine
Speaker 7: yards this year. Twenty nine touchdowns, just six interceptions. You're
Speaker 7: talking about forty two hundred yards through the air, passes
Speaker 7: like that, thrown off the back foot, and he's got
Speaker 7: the bill. This is a six foot two quarterback. He's
Speaker 7: got the size. I have long been a Jackson Dart fan.
Speaker 7: I remember when he was coming out of high school,
Speaker 7: so I've always been charting his career. And you talk
Speaker 7: about ward and Sanders as like one to two and
Speaker 7: then this big drapa.
Speaker 3: I don't see it that way.
Speaker 7: It could be Warden Sanders and Dark could be your
Speaker 7: third first round quarterback.
Speaker 3: I am a Jackson Dart fan.
Speaker 7: And I love the fact that he went to the
Speaker 7: Senior Bowl, competed at the Senior Bowl, and is now
Speaker 7: at the Combine. Is competing at the Combine. A similar
Speaker 7: guy like that last year was Bo Nix, who had
Speaker 7: this great college career, was overlooked in the whole pre
Speaker 7: draft process going in. Then he's like, you know what,
Speaker 7: I'm gonna do the Senior Bowl, I'm gonna do the Combine.
Speaker 7: I'm gonna excel, and I'm gonna meet with these teams
Speaker 7: and they might like what they see. Jackson Dart has
Speaker 7: been a five star recruit every day of his life
Speaker 7: and has been that guy at every.
Speaker 3: Program he's been at.
Speaker 7: Why now as he suddenly being overlooked and not considered
Speaker 7: a first round pick, We'll see if he could change
Speaker 7: that narrative. As for running back, it's a totally different
Speaker 7: story from me, I go to running back.
Speaker 3: I'm going to the University of Iowa, and I'm going.
Speaker 7: With Caleb Johnson, the running back who didn't really get
Speaker 7: an opportunity to be a star until this year.
Speaker 3: Caleb Johnson gets on the field, that's.
Speaker 7: Basically a first year starter this year, and he comes
Speaker 7: out there and he runs for more than fifteen hundred yards.
Speaker 7: He is on a list of very few players in
Speaker 7: the Big Ten who have had fifteen hundred yards and
Speaker 7: the touchdowns that he had in the Big Ten twenty
Speaker 7: one rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 3: That list is Jonathan Taylor, JK.
Speaker 7: Dobbins, and Ezekiel Elliott, those guys who went second round,
Speaker 7: second round, first round. Now, I know this is not
Speaker 7: the same type of prospect as Jenty out of Boise State,
Speaker 7: or Hampton out of North Carolina, or even the two
Speaker 7: Ohio State running backs right now, but just watch this.
Speaker 3: Watch out this guy stock rises. I think we will
Speaker 3: relate to.
Speaker 7: Him because he wasn't a big name going into this season.
Speaker 7: But I think Caleb Johnson at his size two hundred
Speaker 7: and twenty pounds.
Speaker 3: Six feet like a big running back who can carry
Speaker 3: the rock.
Speaker 7: I wouldn't be shocked if Caleb Johnson leaps up those
Speaker 7: running back lists and is suddenly the third fourth running
Speaker 7: back taken after some of the bigger name guys. Big
Speaker 7: Caleb Johnson fan Big Jackson Dart fan. And they will
Speaker 7: both be out there this weekend competing, which is something
Speaker 7: I really like to see.
Speaker 6: Like Jamie mentioned, I'll talk a little more quarterbacks later
Speaker 6: on in the show. But the guy that I'm going
Speaker 6: with in this segment is quarterback Dylan Gabriel from Oregon.
Speaker 6: I just I think he's a very good quarterback. He
Speaker 6: gets overlooked as well, kind of in that Jackson Dark category.
Speaker 6: For me, Gabriel is at his best when he can
Speaker 6: sit in the pocket, when he can go through progression,
Speaker 6: when he can go one, two to three to four,
Speaker 6: throw the football way if it's not there, or find
Speaker 6: his checkdown.
Speaker 5: That's when he's his most comfortable.
Speaker 6: Right He's very accurate with the football two percent completions
Speaker 6: percentage a year ago at Oregon in the Big Ten,
Speaker 6: a lot of very good defenses, a lot of very
Speaker 6: good pass rushers in that conference.
Speaker 5: So he did a great job there. But this is
Speaker 5: where he's going to.
Speaker 6: Excel in the combine because he's going to be out
Speaker 6: there maybe some lime green creek please, we'll see, but
Speaker 6: he's going to be in shorts and a T shirt
Speaker 6: and he's throwing routes on their right. That's where he
Speaker 6: can go out there and show off his accuracy. But
Speaker 6: what I want to see from him this week and
Speaker 6: take that next step where teams are going to go okay.
Speaker 6: I'm really intrigued about this guy his ability to push
Speaker 6: the football down the field.
Speaker 5: And that's not just deep ball accuracy.
Speaker 6: Right, when we say push the ball down the field,
Speaker 6: talk about arms strength, We think how far can you
Speaker 6: throw the goball? Can you throw at seventy eighty can
Speaker 6: you do the Joe Milton from a year ago and
Speaker 6: you know, almost hit the top there in Lucas Soil Stadium.
Speaker 6: I want to see him be able to push a
Speaker 6: football down the field on some of these deep incuts,
Speaker 6: right when there's a tight window and you've got to
Speaker 6: throw a twenty yard en route, when you've got to
Speaker 6: throw a comeback from the opposite hash to the opposite
Speaker 6: sideline and Manti, that doesn't just mean that I'm going
Speaker 6: to go out there and gun it as hard as
Speaker 6: I can and put all my power into it. You
Speaker 6: can time it up with anticipatory throws.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 6: What that means is is if I'm going to go
Speaker 6: out there and throw it and there's a guy with
Speaker 6: a strong arm that's going to throw it at three seconds,
Speaker 6: I'm going to throw it at two point eight seconds.
Speaker 6: I'm gonna get it out early with a little bit
Speaker 6: of air so the ball is there in the right time.
Speaker 6: I don't need it to be a muscle throw every time,
Speaker 6: but he needs to show off that he can make
Speaker 6: those down the field throws with the incuts, the outcuts,
Speaker 6: the rhythm throws to the opposite sideline. If these teams
Speaker 6: really want to take him serious about being a potential backup,
Speaker 6: even a starter in the NFL. I think he has
Speaker 6: all the intangibles. He's just got to take that next step.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 6: Looking at the running backs, a guy and Peter kind
Speaker 6: of mentioned those Ohio State tandem. With those two guys,
Speaker 6: the one I'm looking at is Trevon Henderson.
Speaker 5: I think he is one of, if.
Speaker 6: Not the best running backs in this class outside of
Speaker 6: Ashton Gent. He is so good with the football in
Speaker 6: his hands. He had a thousand yards as a freshman.
Speaker 6: He's continues to get better. Right, He's a very good player.
Speaker 6: We saw how good he is in the College Football Playoff.
Speaker 6: We saw he has that breakaway speed. He can catch
Speaker 6: the football out of the backfield. I think that's going
Speaker 6: to help him in the combine because we're going to
Speaker 6: see routes on air with the running backs, and when
Speaker 6: you're an offensive coordinator, and you have a running back
Speaker 6: that can catch out of the backfield, you start rubbing
Speaker 6: your hands together and saying, I can use this guy
Speaker 6: on third down, I can use him in checkdowns. I
Speaker 6: can find him in Manda Man situations. Get him out
Speaker 6: of the backfield. He can take advantage there to extend play.
Speaker 6: He's also a very good pass blocker, one of the
Speaker 6: best in the combine. And that's going to excite a
Speaker 6: lot of these offensive coordinators. And the final thing, and
Speaker 6: I think the most important, he protects the football. Only
Speaker 6: two fumbles and four years at Ohio State. The last
Speaker 6: one was against Maryland and twenty twenty two. If you
Speaker 6: protect the football, you protect the team. If I've been
Speaker 6: on some offensive coordinator, I'm looking at Trevon Henderson this week.
Speaker 9: That's cool. When I walked in this morning to the
Speaker 9: makeup room, I saw Jamie shoes.
Speaker 2: Oh boy, and Jamie.
Speaker 9: I saw the two g's on there, And anybody knows
Speaker 9: that type of luxury, it's it's it's those are fancy too.
Speaker 9: But Jamie had the two g's on her feet, and
Speaker 9: that's the Gucci, that's the Gucci brand. Now, the two
Speaker 9: guys that I have, they have two g's two. I
Speaker 9: call him the guts and grit clue.
Speaker 3: You could have just gone there, Jamie, Come on.
Speaker 2: You know that was awesome.
Speaker 9: So my quarterback is obviously Riley Leonard for obvious reasons,
Speaker 9: Notre Dame quarterback. He led us to the national championship. Now,
Speaker 9: he's not going to wall you with stats. He's not
Speaker 9: going to go out there and throw for four hundred
Speaker 9: three hundred yards.
Speaker 2: But this guy's a winner. He's a competitor.
Speaker 9: When you watched him in that semi final against Georgia,
Speaker 9: you watch him die for a first down a third
Speaker 9: and seven.
Speaker 2: I think it was This guy just does everything he
Speaker 2: can to win.
Speaker 9: And that's the type of guys that I want to
Speaker 9: surround myself with. Now he's over there in Mobile, Alabama,
Speaker 9: working out with QB Country, who trained Drake May, Boenix
Speaker 9: and Arch Manning, And according to an NFL scout who
Speaker 9: watched him train, his arm is looking scary. So I
Speaker 9: want to see what scary looks like in this NFL
Speaker 9: combine when he's out there throwing routes to people.
Speaker 2: Now, my running back, I love this guy.
Speaker 9: He epitomizes guts, he epitomizes glory. His name is bow
Speaker 9: Scataboo from Arizona State Sun Devil.
Speaker 2: I love ball it scamming bowl Scatabuo can scatabool.
Speaker 9: This guy in that playoff game against Texas, he threw up,
Speaker 9: came back and threw a forty two yard touchdown and
Speaker 9: ran for two hundred and twenty seven toty yards.
Speaker 10: And two rushing touchdowns. This guy says running back on the.
Speaker 2: Depth chart, but he's just a ball player.
Speaker 10: He wants to win, and he epitomizes the.
Speaker 9: Quote that says your best ability is availability. He's going
Speaker 9: to be available wherever you want him to play, He's
Speaker 9: going to play. He reminds me of Craig Reynolds from
Speaker 9: the Detroit Lions. He's just a cultural piece. And so
Speaker 9: these are the two guys I call him Magucci guys.
Speaker 2: The two g's guts and grit. That's my guys.
Speaker 4: Very good man, sai I. Kyle Brandt is very appreciative
Speaker 4: that you brought up camp Scautabo.
Speaker 5: He loves z thatch guy.
Speaker 4: So we always have to yell his name.
Speaker 5: And I love how you go.
Speaker 4: An NFL scouts saw Riley Leonard throwing as if you
Speaker 4: couldn't just call somebody a notre name and be like, hey,
Speaker 4: how's Rolly Leonard looking?
Speaker 5: You have to go NFL scouts saw him.
Speaker 2: That's NFL scout guys. It gets more validity inside source.
Speaker 2: Come on, I'm just can.
Speaker 7: I give a fun Cam Scatterbo story from Super Bowl Week?
Speaker 3: So I'm not.
Speaker 7: I'm at an event during Super Bowl Week, gets down
Speaker 7: there in New Orleans and Joe Burrow is about ten
Speaker 7: feet away, and I, you know, tip my cap to Burrow.
Speaker 7: He their acknowledges, doesn't acknology.
Speaker 3: He looks at me. It's fine. A fin girled out.
Speaker 7: When I saw Cam Scattabo ten feet away and I
Speaker 7: ran them like, Cam Scattabo, you vomited on the field
Speaker 7: against Texas.
Speaker 5: Oh my god.
Speaker 7: And he's like yeah, and we took a photo. It's
Speaker 7: the only photo I took all week long was with
Speaker 7: Cam Scattabo.
Speaker 3: I love that kid. He's awesome, His dad is awesome.
Speaker 3: And Joe Burrows whatever. Cam Scattabo was the guy, Peter,
Speaker 3: what's Scatabo like in person?
Speaker 4: Just like build wise, Like he walks up and you're
Speaker 4: like that guy's a bowling ball, he's a running back, Like,
Speaker 4: what's the what's his mouse.
Speaker 7: Yes, all the traps.
Speaker 6: You got a good running back, a good linebacker. When
Speaker 6: there's no neck, that's what you know that they're not
Speaker 6: afraid to run over exactly.
Speaker 5: It's scataboo.
Speaker 4: And the rest of the running backs, we're gonna see
Speaker 4: them work out this weekend. And of course all those quarterbacks,
Speaker 4: which by the way, we are going to talk about
Speaker 4: next with Cody Kessler. It's like staring straight into the sun.
Speaker 4: You gotta look at quarterbacks when it comes to the
Speaker 4: NFL scouting combine Cody Kessler of USC, of the Cleveland
Speaker 4: Browns time in the NFL time and the call game.
Speaker 4: Now you're broadcasting with your alma mater, so you know
Speaker 4: the college level. Well, you know these guys that are
Speaker 4: going to work out this weekend. Let's walk through some quarterbacks.
Speaker 4: Some names that we may see participate this weekend, we
Speaker 4: might not, but it's just good to stay aware. Cam
Speaker 4: Ward still undecided.
Speaker 2: Let's start with him.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would love to see cam throw. I think
Speaker 6: he can help himself if he does go out there
Speaker 6: and throw. And then the biggest thing for me is
Speaker 6: his arm talent is off the charts, right. You love
Speaker 6: putting on the tape and watching him make all those
Speaker 6: off angle throws. He'll throw off a platform, He'll throw
Speaker 6: falling away. He can get side arm, he can get
Speaker 6: over the top, he can throw guys open right. It
Speaker 6: does a great job of finding different windows that maybe
Speaker 6: aren't there. But he also needs to work with his
Speaker 6: feet a little bit too.
Speaker 5: He can kind of throw falling away that hurts him.
Speaker 6: Sometimes he can fall off that can really hurt him
Speaker 6: with his accuracy with his timing. But overall, he is
Speaker 6: a quarterback that can always make those superhero type plays
Speaker 6: right now.
Speaker 5: I talked yesterday about.
Speaker 6: He needs to learn when it's time to be Superman
Speaker 6: and when it's okay to be Clark Kinton. That's something
Speaker 6: if he can get with the right coach, with the
Speaker 6: right offensive coordinator, he can really excel at the next level.
Speaker 6: Because if I'm an offensive coordinator and I have a
Speaker 6: guy like cam Ward, I'm going out there call and
Speaker 6: shot play after shot play after shot play. I want
Speaker 6: to push the football down the field and be explosive,
Speaker 6: but I need to trust it. You're going to protect
Speaker 6: me as a play caller and know that it's okay
Speaker 6: to throw a check down or throw it away. Instead
Speaker 6: of going, you know, getting out of your progression too quickly,
Speaker 6: trying to make that superhero play, and then you get
Speaker 6: in trouble and then we cast some turnover.
Speaker 4: It was always fun this season to hear like the
Speaker 4: rumors and reports of what GM or coach was at
Speaker 4: cam Ward's games trying to prepare for the NFL Draft.
Speaker 4: We always know that there was a GM or a
Speaker 4: coach at this guy's game. Shaudur sanders well because of
Speaker 4: his dad oftentimes.
Speaker 5: But what does should Dour bring to the table.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Shador is the most complete quarterback in my opinion
Speaker 6: in this draft. He has the poise, he's calm, he's cool,
Speaker 6: he's collected. If you watch the tape, he never gets rattle.
Speaker 6: He does a great job of going through progression. He
Speaker 6: knows his limitations. He knows he's not going to take
Speaker 6: off and hurt you with his feat. He is not
Speaker 6: a dual threat quarterback. He can take off and pick
Speaker 6: up a first down if needed. But he does such
Speaker 6: a great job of not panicking going through progression. And
Speaker 6: he took a lot of hits at Colorado forty three sacks.
Speaker 6: Colorado gave up a year ago, which was one hundred
Speaker 6: and twenty six in college football, mind you, there's one
Speaker 6: hundred and thirty three teams, so they strug in protecting him.
Speaker 6: Now where he can help himself with some of that,
Speaker 6: and he can be a little bit of the issue
Speaker 6: as he does get off off his spot when he
Speaker 6: drops back, and what I mean by that is he'll
Speaker 6: drift a little to the right, he'll drift a little
Speaker 6: to the left. You wantnecessarily close a gap with your
Speaker 6: right tackle with your left tackle. Your offensive lineman will
Speaker 6: tell you, I need to be at your launch point,
Speaker 6: which is in the middle of the pocket, so that
Speaker 6: I know that I can push a defender by you
Speaker 6: can step up and make a play. And the other
Speaker 6: thing I think he needs to work on sometimes is
Speaker 6: knowing his limitations when he's on the run. Sometimes he'll
Speaker 6: lose a little velocity when he throws the football trying
Speaker 6: to whirl to his right roll to his left.
Speaker 5: He gets in trouble.
Speaker 6: You can't get away with those throws in the NFL,
Speaker 6: and I had to learn that the hard way. Yeah,
Speaker 6: in fall camp, even in rookie mini camp, those guys
Speaker 6: will make those plays. But I think he's going to
Speaker 6: continue to develop and he's going to be a top
Speaker 6: quarterback in this year's draft.
Speaker 4: One of these next guys Peter covered a segment ago,
Speaker 4: but his name is like all NFL at this point,
Speaker 4: Jackson Dart already no matter where you go, you have
Speaker 4: an awesome name and we love it. Two SEC quarterbacks
Speaker 4: that you want.
Speaker 6: To talk about, Yeah, Jackson Dart. That was Peter brought
Speaker 6: it up. He was at USC. I wish we were
Speaker 6: able to keep him at USC, but obviously he went
Speaker 6: to all mess with Lang kip In, one of my
Speaker 6: old coaches, and he excel at the highest level.
Speaker 5: Peter said exactly.
Speaker 6: What I was thinking and what I've been saying about
Speaker 6: Jackson Dart this whole process. He can have a bow
Speaker 6: Knicks type of a sind in this draft right last
Speaker 6: year and Peter's defense, we were giving him a hard
Speaker 6: time yesterday. Why was bow Knicks not in your top ten? Well,
Speaker 6: that's because at this point, and I'll put my hand up,
Speaker 6: no one had bow Nicks inside their top ten, top twenty.
Speaker 5: Maybe even top thirty.
Speaker 6: The age thing was a factor, was his game in
Speaker 6: a transition to the NFL.
Speaker 5: Same thing with Jackson Dart a little bit. They didn't
Speaker 5: call it for a while.
Speaker 6: But if he can go out there and crush the combine,
Speaker 6: crush the interviews, which I know he will with Lang
Speaker 6: Tiffin in the offensive mind that he is, he can
Speaker 6: really jump up some of these draft boards, and like
Speaker 6: Peter said, I would be surprised if we see him
Speaker 6: as a high end potentially middle of the first round
Speaker 6: draft pick when it's all said and done. The other
Speaker 6: guy from the SEC for me, as Quinn Ewers, we
Speaker 6: forget how talented he is because of the controversy this
Speaker 6: year in Texas a strange year, and he got hurt,
Speaker 6: he went out, he struggled a little bit.
Speaker 5: Arch Manning comes in, they.
Speaker 6: Go back and forth, and there's some controversy about take
Speaker 6: Quinn out. You could see him lose his confidence right
Speaker 6: when I know what quarterback loses their confidence is when
Speaker 6: they get a little bit of a trigger shot, right.
Speaker 6: They don't want to pull the trigger. They hesitate, They're
Speaker 6: not going through their progression quite as quickly as they can.
Speaker 5: They're worried about forcing the throws. They don't want to
Speaker 5: make that mistake.
Speaker 6: If Whenewers can get back to the confident type of
Speaker 6: player we've seen from him in years past, I really
Speaker 6: think he can jump up and fight with Jackson dark
Speaker 6: for that third overall spot.
Speaker 2: All right, that's really cool.
Speaker 4: A couple more quarterbacks, I don't know, dark horse guys,
Speaker 4: sleeper guys. There's a bunch of kind of cheesy terms.
Speaker 4: But that doesn't mean that we're not going to want
Speaker 4: to be paying attention to them on Saturday because we
Speaker 4: might hear their names or we will hear their names at.
Speaker 2: The end of April.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I'm so right now, rit four. I was fighting
Speaker 6: with myself where to go? I went five A, five B,
Speaker 6: five seats, right, you know, normally to one segment.
Speaker 5: I know.
Speaker 6: But the dark horses, for me, guys that I think
Speaker 6: are going to be in that fifth spot, they can
Speaker 6: pentionally be their first one from you is Will Howard.
Speaker 6: If he continues to have the progress that he's had
Speaker 6: at the end of the season they shore that he
Speaker 6: did have at the end of the season going on
Speaker 6: to win the national championship. He can really do that
Speaker 6: and I'm excited to watch him take that to the
Speaker 6: next level.
Speaker 5: We also learned under Chip Kelly. Yeah, so if the
Speaker 5: Raiders at.
Speaker 6: That sixth spot, maybe don't take a quarterback, don't trade up.
Speaker 6: Could they find Will Howard in later rounds. It's yet
Speaker 6: to be seen. But what he did so well in
Speaker 6: something Drew Brees made a living of was being accurate
Speaker 6: and knowing and trusting the playmakers around you. I didn't
Speaker 6: have to do too much. I'm going to get the
Speaker 6: ball to the playmakers around me and let them do
Speaker 6: the rest. As an offensive coordinator, I love that because
Speaker 6: he's not going to.
Speaker 5: Put the ball in harm's way.
Speaker 6: He's going to be accurate, throw those drag routes, throw
Speaker 6: those over routes, and let your receivers and your playmakers
Speaker 6: do the rest. The next guy for me is Jaln Milroe.
Speaker 6: He is, in my opinion, one of not only as
Speaker 6: a quarterback, one of the best athletes in this draft.
Speaker 6: Now the question mark is where do you put him?
Speaker 6: Where's he going to get drafted, Where's he going to
Speaker 6: fit in? He is last consistency a little bit as
Speaker 6: a thrower. He'll make some throws when you watch the
Speaker 6: tape and I went back watched a couple of his
Speaker 6: games where you see one of you goose that's a
Speaker 6: NFL Sunday level throw. He can make that throw. Then
Speaker 6: I'll come back and have a couple that he misses
Speaker 6: with his footwork being off, not cleaning up, his pocket
Speaker 6: presence a little bit, a little quick to take off
Speaker 6: and run. So if he can clean up all those
Speaker 6: things and become a little bit better of a pocket passer,
Speaker 6: I really think he can jump up. And I've seen
Speaker 6: some draft boards that have him around that two three spot.
Speaker 6: I'm not surprised with that.
Speaker 5: They're just a big hit.
Speaker 6: But if he can develop and take that next step,
Speaker 6: and then the last guy for me and I think
Speaker 6: helped his draft stock the most this year was Colin
Speaker 6: McCord from Syracuse, right, and then.
Speaker 5: Kind of took some of that pressure off him.
Speaker 6: He was a little bit of a forgotten name leaving
Speaker 6: Ohio State, going to Syracuse, not playing in the Big Ten,
Speaker 6: and not really on that national stage a whole lot.
Speaker 6: When you put the tape on his arm is as
Speaker 6: good as anybody, yeah right now in college level. It's
Speaker 6: just he got overshadowed a little bit being a Syracuse
Speaker 6: And then when you watched that Bowl game, he made
Speaker 6: a huge statement in that game saying, hey, I'm still here,
Speaker 6: I can fight for that this spot. I can be
Speaker 6: a top five quarterback maybe a Day two pick. I
Speaker 6: can fight in that second and third round. But if
Speaker 6: he continues to take advantage of this offseason, of this
Speaker 6: pre draft period, those are three guys for me, they
Speaker 6: could fight in that fifth spot. And look, I don't know, Peter.
Speaker 6: I'd love to hear your opinion because I can't remember
Speaker 6: in recent history, and I went back and looked at
Speaker 6: some of the drafts after one and two, and I
Speaker 6: guess Dart can maybe fit in that third spot. But
Speaker 6: after that, I am just I'm lost. Right now, we're
Speaker 6: to put four, five, six, and seven. I'll go out
Speaker 6: to the seventh guy. So I'd love to hear your
Speaker 6: guys in opinion. But those are my thoughts on those guys.
Speaker 7: Yeah, look, a couple of years ago, there was no
Speaker 7: quarterback taken in the first nineteen picks. Can he Pickett
Speaker 7: win at number twenty? And then it was like, okay,
Speaker 7: we'll LEVI a second round. Maybe we've had years like this. Look,
Speaker 7: kim Ward is an elite prospect, Shador Sanders is Dart
Speaker 7: we think might go first round. But you just mentioned
Speaker 7: three different names that are going to be able to
Speaker 7: impress people this weekend Saturday when they're competing. I will
Speaker 7: ask you about a player though, which comes with a
Speaker 7: lot more than just the player and the skill. Shador
Speaker 7: Sanders obviously, Dion Sun feel like it's a sensitive topic
Speaker 7: when anyone criticizes or puts a flaw out on his name.
Speaker 7: I've seen people say he's a second round prospect to others.
Speaker 3: Saying they like him more than cam Ward.
Speaker 7: Objectively, you get to watch these guys, Cody, what do
Speaker 7: you think on Shador Sanders the football player, but also
Speaker 7: the total package that comes with him, knowing that he
Speaker 7: is Deon's kid, and who knows there might be more
Speaker 7: that comes with that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Shador is by far the most intriguing quarterback prospect
Speaker 6: in my opinion in this draft. Because I'm with you,
Speaker 6: I can see and I can understand him being a
Speaker 6: second round pick, but I can also understand him being
Speaker 6: the first quarterback taken off.
Speaker 5: Of the board. And what I said earlier was that
Speaker 5: him being.
Speaker 6: The most polished quarterback in my opinion, is just a
Speaker 6: pocket passer, right, A guy that can sit there and
Speaker 6: throw a whole shot, or throw a bendor route right
Speaker 6: that over cover too and throw it over the middle.
Speaker 6: A guy that can go through progression, the guy that
Speaker 6: can protect the football. He knows what it takes to
Speaker 6: have pressure in his face standing there and make those throws.
Speaker 5: And normally when you're.
Speaker 6: Drafted higher up, you don't have the luxury of going
Speaker 6: to a team with a solidified offensive line. That's one
Speaker 6: of my former Trojans, Taylor Williams, about that. He took
Speaker 6: some hits this year. But the thing for me, Peter
Speaker 6: that I think is going to separate him the most
Speaker 6: is that when he went to Colorado, and I know
Speaker 6: everyone talks about Travis him, which they absolutely should. He's
Speaker 6: a phenomenal player, but Colorado isn't where they are today
Speaker 6: without Shador Sanders at quarterback. I truly believe that he
Speaker 6: knows what it takes to turn a program around, and scouts,
Speaker 6: you're going to look at that and say, okay, well
Speaker 6: you're going to a team getting drafted as high as
Speaker 6: you can be that is struggling right now, that needs
Speaker 6: a turnaround. He knows how to go there and face
Speaker 6: adversity and get Colorado like you know, or get Calido
Speaker 6: to where it is today when he left. I think
Speaker 6: he can do the same thing in the NFL. Give
Speaker 6: him the opportunity.
Speaker 2: Obviously, Cody.
Speaker 9: I identified a quarterback notting Fighten, Irish quarterback that I
Speaker 9: really like him, Riley Leonard. Tell me what about Oh
Speaker 9: what about Riley's Riley Leonard's game transitions well over to
Speaker 9: the NFL, And what are things that he could work
Speaker 9: on that can help him improve himself as a quarterback
Speaker 9: and maybe maybe be behind Sightka.
Speaker 2: Why isn't he on your list?
Speaker 6: I was about to say, I'm glad you went there,
Speaker 6: because I was. As soon as you said Riley Leonard,
Speaker 6: I was like, why is he not on your list?
Speaker 4: For me?
Speaker 5: Right now? Manti?
Speaker 6: I saw him playing person. He is a phenomenal athlete.
Speaker 6: I don't think he gets enough credit as a dual
Speaker 6: threat as a runner. You know him and Jeremiah love
Speaker 6: the running back in Notre Dame. They came to the
Speaker 6: coliseum and ran all over us, and he's just such
Speaker 6: a great He has great pocket presence, but he knows
Speaker 6: when to take off and he knows when to throw
Speaker 6: it right. He's not just sitting there and all right,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna take off and run after my first reads
Speaker 6: out there. He does a great job of that. He
Speaker 6: just seems to develop as a passer for me, and
Speaker 6: that starts with this footwork.
Speaker 5: If he can get.
Speaker 6: Better with, you know, throwing in rhythm, three hitch step,
Speaker 6: up standing rhythm, going through progression.
Speaker 5: Don't you know when you're a quarterback and.
Speaker 6: You start panicking a little bit, you start going your
Speaker 6: feet before your eyes and what that means is is
Speaker 6: my feearre going over the place and I don't know
Speaker 6: what I'm reading. If you can go is to one right,
Speaker 6: then ises of two feet follow and you're comfortable in rhythm,
Speaker 6: which something that I think he can develop the right
Speaker 6: way in the right place, he can be a very
Speaker 6: good quarterback.
Speaker 5: But if he can get that down and.
Speaker 6: Improve on that, I don't see why you won't be
Speaker 6: a starter one day, or even a solid backup in
Speaker 6: the NFL with you know, the potential to become a starter.
Speaker 4: Cody is really good stuff. I'm just laughing because you
Speaker 4: told us yesterday like I had to decide between coaching
Speaker 4: and doing television, and you're crushing the television thing. Well whatever,
Speaker 4: you just said, eyes to one, eyes.
Speaker 2: To two feet fallow.
Speaker 4: I was like, Okay, maybe you can also coach.
Speaker 3: On the side a little bit.
Speaker 6: It's the old saying of eyes before feet right. You
Speaker 6: can't throw what you can't see. You can't throw to
Speaker 6: what you can't see. I always tell my young quarteras.
Speaker 6: I used to actually train some younger quarterbacks back in
Speaker 6: Bigger so I went back and helped out. But I
Speaker 6: always tell him, if I'm a right hand or throwing
Speaker 6: to the left, I'm not just going to swing my
Speaker 6: feet and throw it.
Speaker 5: There is proof in the pudding. You've got to go
Speaker 5: through progression. You've got to trust what you see.
Speaker 6: My eyes are at one, I just go to two,
Speaker 6: then I reset as a three reset, then I make
Speaker 6: the throw, and then I move on. I should have
Speaker 6: done with the football out there. I could have got
Speaker 6: into the hole fire and the hips and yeah, back
Speaker 6: drill and all of that.
Speaker 4: But then those young guys just look at Patrick Mahomes like,
Speaker 4: but he's not.
Speaker 3: He's thrown the things he can't see.
Speaker 5: He does it.
Speaker 3: Why can't I?
Speaker 5: Sorry, Patrick Mahomes is the as.
Speaker 10: Yeah, guys, if you know anything about me, you know
Speaker 10: that my blood runs blue and gold. But there was
Speaker 10: a time where I used to rep the cardinal end gold.
Speaker 2: Well, yesterday we found out that Cody here.
Speaker 9: Being a USC quarterback, used to root for the Irish.
Speaker 10: So what we're gonna do today was there gonna make
Speaker 10: play a little game, a big on if, a big
Speaker 10: what if. Disclaimer, we love our schools, okay, but this
Speaker 10: is a great three on three game where I'm gonna
Speaker 10: I'm gonna state three players that I watched growing up,
Speaker 10: three USC players, and Cody is gonna do his three
Speaker 10: top notre dame players that he watched growing up. So
Speaker 10: for me, number three on my list now it's I
Speaker 10: don't know how Cody's gonna beat this guy. His name
Speaker 10: is Junior Seau now Junior Seou in the Polynesian culture,
Speaker 10: in the Saomo and household, was one of those guys
Speaker 10: that we just watched. He was one of the pilgrims here,
Speaker 10: was one of the pioneers, that guy that blaze the
Speaker 10: trail for a lot of people like me.
Speaker 2: I watched Junior Sau growing up.
Speaker 9: I heard about him at USC office watching his Hall
Speaker 9: of Fame career.
Speaker 2: In San Diego with the Chargers.
Speaker 10: He is somebody that when you think about football, when
Speaker 10: you think about linebacker, when you think about greatness, it's
Speaker 10: it just comes hand in hand.
Speaker 9: With Junior Sales. So that's my number three I'm going
Speaker 9: to pass it over to Cody. Cody, I don't know
Speaker 9: how you're going to top that, but who's your number three.
Speaker 5: I'm sticking with defense as well.
Speaker 6: But the first thing I will say before I get
Speaker 6: into that another disclaimer for me. I am Cardinal and
Speaker 6: gold all the way. Fight on. Please Trojans do not
Speaker 6: come for me on Twitter. I promise you. I came
Speaker 6: to my senses. They're going to ended up going to
Speaker 6: USC So this is in the past before you know.
Speaker 6: I became a Trojan. But I'm going defense. So I'm
Speaker 6: going Tom Zivikowski I was and two and one will
Speaker 6: make a little bit more sense about how I got
Speaker 6: to know Tom Zvikowski watching him, But he was such
Speaker 6: a fun player to watch. He played safety. He also
Speaker 6: took punts back. He was part of the reason that
Speaker 6: I wore that three bar face mask. I threw a
Speaker 6: visor on it as well. For those who don't know,
Speaker 6: I played a little safety back in high school. I
Speaker 6: played a little safety back in middle school as well.
Speaker 6: Had the hitting end of the week t.
Speaker 5: Shirt, Manti.
Speaker 6: You would like to know that I got came out
Speaker 6: there and laid the wood on one of the hits
Speaker 6: and got one of the T shirts they sent me
Speaker 6: from the whole town Bakersfield Sports. But yeah, I'm going tons.
Speaker 6: Zibakalsio on number three. Also a great boxer. Great, we'd
Speaker 6: go out there and tear it up on the field
Speaker 6: and then go beat you up in the parking lot
Speaker 6: after if he said.
Speaker 9: Some stuff great boxer game there there's a picture of
Speaker 9: him at noted game. We have this thing called Bengal
Speaker 9: Bolts where you can go ou there and box, and
Speaker 9: Zibio is one of those guys that would participate in
Speaker 9: the Bengal Bolts a lot.
Speaker 2: Great. That's round one.
Speaker 5: Number two.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 9: The guy who really changed for me college football and
Speaker 9: football in general, in my opinion, the greatest college football
Speaker 9: player in the history of college football, Reggie Bush. Reggie
Speaker 9: Bush to me when I saw this man play, I
Speaker 9: remember watching him when he came to Hawaiian and they
Speaker 9: played the University of Juii Adaloha Stadium, and I watched
Speaker 9: him live. I was probably the only Hawaiian in the
Speaker 9: sea of green T shirts that was wearing the cardinal
Speaker 9: and Golden.
Speaker 5: I was at that game right there too.
Speaker 9: By the way, he is just somebody that growing up
Speaker 9: helped me to dream bigger and watching him in.
Speaker 2: All of his highlights.
Speaker 9: We talked yesterday about the Fresno State game, how iconic
Speaker 9: that was so for me. Number two on my list
Speaker 9: was Reggie Bush. Now I always like, man who's number
Speaker 9: one after Reggie?
Speaker 2: But before we.
Speaker 9: Get to number one on my list, Cody, who do
Speaker 9: you have is number two on your list?
Speaker 6: I'm going to quarterback here. This is where we started
Speaker 6: getting quarterback heavy. I'm going with Brady Quinn at number two, right,
Speaker 6: and I watched again number one. Will makes sense about
Speaker 6: how I know these older guys. This is a little
Speaker 6: bit before I got to high school, in my time.
Speaker 5: And growing up a little bit.
Speaker 6: But Brady Quinn was a guy I went to watch
Speaker 6: Brady Quinn as well live in the colseume at that game.
Speaker 6: I watched him play a little bit at Notre Dame.
Speaker 6: A lot of fun to watch a quarterback that I
Speaker 6: like to model my game. After a little bit, you know,
Speaker 6: ended up going in the draft.
Speaker 5: We both went to Cleveland.
Speaker 6: We had a little bit of a shared experience there,
Speaker 6: but Brady Quinn was my number two, a guy that
Speaker 6: I liked watch, right, you know, being a quarterback someone
Speaker 6: that I looked up.
Speaker 2: To a little bit.
Speaker 9: Now, Brady Quinn. I love Brady Quinn. I mean that
Speaker 9: guy at two thousand and five. I mean we talked
Speaker 9: about the bush push.
Speaker 2: He was.
Speaker 9: He was a quarterback for a Notre Dame during that game.
Speaker 2: And he's just somebody that.
Speaker 9: Really helps the Notre Dame athletes financially, helps him to
Speaker 9: see life beyond football.
Speaker 2: So you know, shout out.
Speaker 9: To Brady all right, last, but not least, Now, this
Speaker 9: guy I have a personal relationship with. He's He's a
Speaker 9: big brother of mine. Actually named my son after him.
Speaker 9: It is the one, the only Troy Polamalo, Troy Polamalu.
Speaker 9: You know the hair, you know all all of the fantastic,
Speaker 9: iconic plays that he's made as a Steeler.
Speaker 2: I've watched this guy make plays since he wore the
Speaker 2: cardinal and gold.
Speaker 9: His humility about him, just who he is as a person,
Speaker 9: what he means, what he means to his his his kids,
Speaker 9: as a father. He's everything I hope to be in
Speaker 9: a man, And before I even knew him personally, I
Speaker 9: hope to be him.
Speaker 2: As a football player.
Speaker 9: So I had to end it off with Troy Polamalu.
Speaker 9: I love Troy, and I'm excited to see who your
Speaker 9: number one is, Cody, Who's your number one?
Speaker 6: I gotta say that real quick though, Troy, Paula mal
Speaker 6: So I played you know, Kennedy Paulamlo. I think that's
Speaker 6: his uncle, correct, Ye played for coach Paula Malo.
Speaker 5: He was one of my favorite coaches.
Speaker 6: He was he had that hard nose attitude about him,
Speaker 6: a running back coach. I spent a lot of time
Speaker 6: with him as a quarterback when we were there at USC.
Speaker 6: But my number one, a good friend of mine to
Speaker 6: this day, is quarterback Jim. And now it makes sense
Speaker 6: a little bit. Let me tell the backstory. When I
Speaker 6: was in middle school, right, you'd always look at those
Speaker 6: rivals dot Com and ESPN. Who was the top guy?
Speaker 6: Who was the highest rated quarterback? Jimmy classon was that dude, right?
Speaker 6: He was the guy that everyone looked up to. He
Speaker 6: wore the headband. And I don't even if he knows
Speaker 6: the story. I'll send him this and he's probably gonna
Speaker 6: get a kick out of it. But he wore the
Speaker 6: head band in high school. So then I started wearing
Speaker 6: the head band and took it to my high school.
Speaker 6: They still wear it to this day there and they
Speaker 6: call it the Cody headband. They don't know that I
Speaker 6: got it from Jimmy. Now they do. But Jimmy Warden
Speaker 6: in high school, iighly as a guy. I thought he
Speaker 6: was just he was a guy that I wanted to be.
Speaker 6: I wanted to be the number one quarterback in the
Speaker 6: recruiting class. I wanted to be, you know, that guy
Speaker 6: that came up and was going to get to go
Speaker 6: to Notre Dame, right or have all these offers. Unfortunately,
Speaker 6: Notre Dame actually never offered me. So man, Tau, you
Speaker 6: can talk to them about that. But ended up going
Speaker 6: to USC. But yeah, I know, shout out to him.
Speaker 6: I've got my guy, Jimmy Closs and so I talked
Speaker 6: to him this day. I just saw him with the
Speaker 6: Notre Dame USC game this year. Loved the dude. He's awesome.
Speaker 6: But yeah, that was what really started me, or what
Speaker 6: really started my fandom of becoming a Notre Dame fan.
Speaker 6: And that's how I got to know Brady Quinn because
Speaker 6: at the time I knew Jimmy was going to Notre Dame.
Speaker 5: So I went and watched.
Speaker 6: Quinn was a quarterback then and then also, Tom Zbikowski
Speaker 6: is back there hitting people in returning punts.
Speaker 10: I love it, brother, what a great game. Let's let's
Speaker 10: let's turn over to the screen. Let's see our picks.
Speaker 2: How we stack up against each other.
Speaker 10: Obviously I got Junior say Oh number three, Reggie number two,
Speaker 10: Troy number one, Cody, you have Zibby, Brady Quinn number two,
Speaker 10: and Jimmy Clauson.
Speaker 2: So what a game? Now?
Speaker 9: Before we start, Now, before we go to sister Jamie,
Speaker 9: can we switch sides.
Speaker 6: Yeah, to be clear, let me be clear before before
Speaker 6: the Notre Dame Irish come after me too. I'm not
Speaker 6: saying top three Notre Dame players of all time. These
Speaker 6: were the Notre Dame players we need to become a fan.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we watched.
Speaker 5: I don't want anyone to come out here.
Speaker 4: I saw your face and you couldn't have your mic boat.
Speaker 4: There was one name, I think it was Abakowski. When
Speaker 4: he hit Toms of Bakowski, you were like.
Speaker 3: Yes, that was awesome.
Speaker 7: I mean and also went to the Ravens and was
Speaker 7: like a punt returner who never called for a fair catch,
Speaker 7: just wanted to pain, wanted to just take every Zibakowski
Speaker 7: was like.
Speaker 3: Notre Dame in that era.
Speaker 7: I want to ask both these guys if I say
Speaker 7: a name. This is so deep cut, but like it says, like,
Speaker 7: what do you got on matt Levechio? What do you
Speaker 7: got on Matt Levechio? Can you give me anything?
Speaker 3: This was a Notre Dame quarterback my generation, my.
Speaker 2: Race to Peter's generation.
Speaker 3: This was this was like the number one prospect. He
Speaker 3: was the quarterback of Notre Dame.
Speaker 5: There.
Speaker 7: But when you start going down the list of names
Speaker 7: like Jimmy Clausen and you go down and you start
Speaker 7: talking Brady Quinn.
Speaker 3: There is a golden era of Notre Dame quarterbacks. Lovecchio
Speaker 3: was in there as well.
Speaker 4: All right, can we do a little memory tracer to
Speaker 4: November twenty fourth, twenty twelve, the only time Mantai and
Speaker 4: Cody were on the field at the same time. You
Speaker 4: did not play in this game, but there is a
Speaker 4: I don't want to, I don't want to make fun
Speaker 4: of Max Wittek, but like, what was going on.
Speaker 5: That day that helped you out? Yeah? So so Max
Speaker 5: and I are still good friends. Love the guy.
Speaker 6: It's one of those things, those awkward things in college, right,
Speaker 6: you guys, we both sat behind Matt Barkley.
Speaker 3: Okay, hung out a lot.
Speaker 6: When Matt left, we got into an open quarterback competition
Speaker 6: that actually got hurt that year. So Max Whitty goes
Speaker 6: in and we're playing against Notre Dame. I told Manti
Speaker 6: jokingly that he picked off witting in that game. So
Speaker 6: he helped me in an open quarterback competition the following offseason.
Speaker 6: And then, like I said, Max is a great guy.
Speaker 6: We're good friends. But yeah, I know it was. It
Speaker 6: was awesome and wish we got thee we got to
Speaker 6: play that game. I had to wait another year to
Speaker 6: become the starter, but yeah, I looked up the Mantai
Speaker 6: as well.
Speaker 5: As a player at Notre Dame.
Speaker 6: I was again, always a diehard Trojan I always will
Speaker 6: be forever. But there is a little soft spot in
Speaker 6: my heart for the Notre Dame firing Irish because it
Speaker 6: kind of got me into football.
Speaker 5: A little bit.
Speaker 6: And the big part of that was Jimmy Clauston.
Speaker 4: We're entering blue blood's territory with March Madness next month,
Speaker 4: but these two schools definitely blue bloods category when it
Speaker 4: comes to college football. Good job you too, Cody Cluster
Speaker 4: manthideo Here, a.
Speaker 2: Stringer with the what was that guy?
Speaker 6: Matt I got one more honorable mention Jeff some margin,
Speaker 6: Jeff
Speaker 3: Yeah No,
