Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Speaker 1: Sports Radio Final Hour in this Wednesday Dan and the
Speaker 1: Dane Stan Patrick Show. I just looked outside and we
Speaker 1: have our tregger Hood where we have all of our
Speaker 1: tragger girls, and I noticed that Chad, the champion griller
Speaker 1: from Tregger is outside cooking up something for you guys.
Speaker 1: Now he normally joins us at the Super Bowl, creates
Speaker 1: a you know, a feast and h he's here with
Speaker 1: his partner Julian. They are making something up as we
Speaker 1: speak on the tragger grills. Once again, who's gone it
Speaker 1: better than us? Nobuddy? Is this a one day thing?
Speaker 1: And no, No, I said to Chad, why don't you
Speaker 1: fly in on Sunday, get a COVID test, get results,
Speaker 1: and then we're able to go on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Speaker 1: tregger Hood. You're welcome, Todd, you are welcome. All right?
Speaker 1: Final Hour here eight seven seven three d P Show
Speaker 1: email address TP at Dan Patrick dot com, Twitter handle
Speaker 1: at dp's show. McLeman asked a poll question, why don't
Speaker 1: you update the poll results so far? Michael? Okay, Now
Speaker 1: we have a surprising poll result. Who's going to have
Speaker 1: a better career when it's all said and done. Travis
Speaker 1: Kelsey or Rob Gronkowski sixty seven percent. Travis Kelsey, all right.
Speaker 1: I don't think Travis will ever be as famous as Gronk,
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean he won't have a better career
Speaker 1: at better numbers. But you know, Tony Gonzalez has more
Speaker 1: numbers than these guys do. But Gronk is more well known.
Speaker 1: I mean, Tony's on the Fox pregame show. But that's
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, those Super Bowls, playing in playoff games, playing
Speaker 1: with Brady, that makes a lot of people famous if
Speaker 1: you're able to be there for the long haul, and
Speaker 1: Gronk was there for the most part. College football fans
Speaker 1: can rejoice. EA Sports announced yesterday they're bringing back their
Speaker 1: iconic college football game. Oh PAULI was so excited. He's like,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't get him, but I'm I'm getting emotional.
Speaker 1: I go, what happened, and he goes, EA Sports is
Speaker 1: bringing back their college football game. Yeah, Paul. Yeah. They
Speaker 1: stopped making twenty fourteen with the Ed O'Bannon lawsuits. I
Speaker 1: always thought that was a big mistake by college football players.
Speaker 1: Probably could a partner with EAT got paid off that
Speaker 1: if they had planned. Well, well, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you know this opens up the NCAA rules on marketing,
Speaker 1: if this officially opens it back up in the near future.
Speaker 1: That my thought was, what's this mean for the college
Speaker 1: athlete as we move forward, and you know, the announcement
Speaker 1: maybe gets the ball rolling in two positive directions. One
Speaker 1: players would get rewarded, which seems to be the popular
Speaker 1: view right now. In second video, gamers get to be
Speaker 1: pumped up because he a sports. College football is awesome.
Speaker 1: Let's see what do we have. I mentioned this last
Speaker 1: hour and it kind of caught your attention and I said, look,
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Raiders are actively pursuing Deshaun Watson.
Speaker 1: I know the Las Vegas Review Journal suggested that they
Speaker 1: are possibly pursuing celebrity journalist Flow Anthony, who claims to
Speaker 1: have spoken to a source with knowledge from someone close
Speaker 1: to Wood, says Tiger is struggling. It doesn't feel like
Speaker 1: anything's pending here, So they're possibly pursuing you either are
Speaker 1: or you're not. It feels like, hey, we're talking about it, okay,
Speaker 1: well then you're pursuing Deshaun Watson. Hey we're not talking
Speaker 1: about it. Then We're not pursuing DeShawn Watson. I'm sure
Speaker 1: there are a lot of teams today who are possibly
Speaker 1: pursuing DeShawn Watson. Now here's the deal. According to the
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Review Journal, several NFL insiders expect the Raiders
Speaker 1: to field calls from teams inquiring about Derek Car's availability.
Speaker 1: There's a flip side to the season Car just produced
Speaker 1: that increased his demand, insiders saying could create a scenario
Speaker 1: which a three teen trade allows the Raiders to acquire
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. Now, for that to happen, the Raiders would
Speaker 1: have to receive two first round picks for Car, which
Speaker 1: they would then package with their own first rounders in
Speaker 1: twenty one to twenty two to present a compelling offer
Speaker 1: of four first round picks to the Texans for Watson,
Speaker 1: who is reportedly asked to be traded. Well, that's different
Speaker 1: than what I was told would if you were gonna
Speaker 1: land Deshaun Watson, that two first rounders and then they
Speaker 1: wanted two players who are already on your roster that
Speaker 1: they could take. Now, this is different with four first
Speaker 1: round picks for Deshaun Watson. But I'm looking at Car's numbers,
Speaker 1: and these are respectable numbers, but it always feels like
Speaker 1: whoever John Gruden has is his quarterback is not good enough.
Speaker 1: There has to be somebody else who's better than him.
Speaker 1: And I think that's the case with Derek Carr. I
Speaker 1: was surproused prize that Derek Carr was going to be
Speaker 1: his quarterback in Vegas. I truly thought that John Gruden
Speaker 1: was going to go after Kyler Murray. I truly thought
Speaker 1: that he was going to go We're going to bring
Speaker 1: in somebody exciting, moving into a new stadium, and we
Speaker 1: can take advantage of those wheels on the turf, and
Speaker 1: we're going to be something explosive. He knew had a
Speaker 1: very good running back. He knew he had a very
Speaker 1: good tight end. But if I gave John Gruden to
Speaker 1: do over, I wonder, Now, that doesn't mean they're getting
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. But I think that John was going to
Speaker 1: go after one of these younger quarterbacks, and that was
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, so that would have been
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. Yeah, mclove. How come Derek Carr isn't just
Speaker 1: going straight to Houston in this trade like Stafford? I mean,
Speaker 1: is it because of his brother was so bad there
Speaker 1: that the Texas don't want Derek Carr like golf, you know,
Speaker 1: the right. The guy wrote that they have to trade
Speaker 1: car for two first rounders, that they would turn around
Speaker 1: to Houston. You get to two first round picks for
Speaker 1: Derek Carr. I mean that. That was My first thought
Speaker 1: is wow, And then you start to look at well, Okay,
Speaker 1: I got a quarterback who's under thirty. What Jalen Ramsey
Speaker 1: brought two first round picks? Right? I guess he Jalen Ramsey.
Speaker 1: But if I look at the numbers, though, if you
Speaker 1: throw twenty seven touchdowns and nine interceptions, he throws over
Speaker 1: four thousand yards. Yeah, mccleman, I got a spot Washington
Speaker 1: football team. Okay, they'll be lower first rounders if they can,
Speaker 1: if they can win, are you going to give up
Speaker 1: two first round picks? You know this? Kirk Cousins to
Speaker 1: the Niners, that story's not going away. It's kind of
Speaker 1: strange where I check with somebody yesterday and I go
Speaker 1: help me out here. Forty nine ers. Everybody keeps saying
Speaker 1: the right thing about Jimmy Groppolo. He goes, no, they're
Speaker 1: they're not gonna do what this is what I was
Speaker 1: told there. The Niners aren't gonna do with the Rams
Speaker 1: did to Jared Goff and disparage him or give you
Speaker 1: cryptic messages there. You know that that the Niners, I
Speaker 1: think where they're okay with keeping Jimmy Garoppolo. And I'm
Speaker 1: paraphrasing what you know my source said on this, but
Speaker 1: they're there there. They kicked the tires on a lot
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks here for an organization that has a younger
Speaker 1: quarterback under contract. They kicked the tires on quarterbacks. They
Speaker 1: did it for Brady, they did it for Stafford. They're
Speaker 1: doing it for Deshaun Watson. That doesn't sound like a
Speaker 1: stable situation. It feels like, hey, if you want him,
Speaker 1: quietly privately, give us an offer here, because it feels
Speaker 1: like the Niners are in business for another quarterback. Whether
Speaker 1: it happens, it's hard to argue that they've sort of
Speaker 1: been It's one of those poorly kept secrets, and I
Speaker 1: just feel like they're going to move on at some point. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's about time Kirk Cousins got a chance to join
Speaker 1: a team that was built him ready to make the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. About time. Here's here's a trivia question for you.
Speaker 1: In the last four hundred and fifty days, there's one
Speaker 1: quarterback who was beating Patrick Mahomes, Derek Carr. Are you
Speaker 1: that is not a stat of the day? Uh? Okay,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I mean technically, Derek Carr didn't beat
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. He beat the Chiefs defense. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: what is going on here? It's Wednesday. Every day it's
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl to be that guy. But like, technically
Speaker 1: they didn't go like head to head, they just day
Speaker 1: out of the day. This is the stat on the day. Now,
Speaker 1: that's Melissa Effort. She would not be singing that as
Speaker 1: the stat of the day because she's a Chiefs fan.
Speaker 1: She would not be trumpeting the fact that over the
Speaker 1: last four hundred and fifty days, one quarterback has beating
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. He's Derek Car. Yes, there's a thing on
Speaker 1: Twitter where NFL experts like to tweet out that wins
Speaker 1: are not a quarterback stat because whatever I like, somebody says, oh,
Speaker 1: this guy's wanted eighty percent. They're like, wins his daughter
Speaker 1: quarterback stat. Okay, but wait a minute, remember Jimmy gee
Speaker 1: Allly did his win? Yeah, I know, we pick and
Speaker 1: choose with this, like, I want to know what your number.
Speaker 1: You have great numbers, did you win the game? I
Speaker 1: have to factor in that you won the game? How
Speaker 1: responsible were you for the win? Right when you look
Speaker 1: at somebody's stats and you go, oh, man, those are
Speaker 1: great numbers. Yeah they lost by fourteen or all. Those
Speaker 1: are decent numbers and they won. It didn't matter what
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo did in the Super Bowl. He completes one pass,
Speaker 1: one more pass. He's had a great super Bowl because
Speaker 1: they win. Patrick Mahomes did not have a good Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: and then he completed one big pass to Tyreek Hill.
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes completed a pass. Jimmy Garoppolo didn't Chiefs win
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. The Niners lose one. I got a
Speaker 1: factor in that you won the game. There are a
Speaker 1: lot of guys who put up great stats there. I
Speaker 1: watch NBA games every night, where I go, man, that
Speaker 1: dude's putting up great numbers and it doesn't matter. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Point Jimmy Garoppolo twenty four wins as a starter, Mitch
Speaker 1: Rubisky twenty nine wins. Yeah, point proven, Yeah, I guess
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Yes, mcglo. You know what I loved
Speaker 1: I was thinking about this all day yesterday because he
Speaker 1: said that Matthew Stafford has a million comeback wins losing
Speaker 1: as so stats can tell you anything you want, like
Speaker 1: how can I get a comeback victory if I am
Speaker 1: not trailing, right Mahomes? Yeah, Actually, Mahomes probably has a
Speaker 1: lot too, because they like to spot the opponent a
Speaker 1: couple of touchdowns. Now, then it's true. By the way,
Speaker 1: the Rams this season now gained the opponents by ninety
Speaker 1: five yards per game, yet they didn't win their division
Speaker 1: four and oh this season when Jared Goff didn't give
Speaker 1: the ball away once five and six, when he had
Speaker 1: at least one turnover, No, no, I'm all right, Oh no, noah,
Speaker 1: somebody's trying to prove a point. I get it, I
Speaker 1: get it, Okay, all right. You know it feels like
Speaker 1: the margin for error for Jared Goff was very, very small. Hey, no,
Speaker 1: no turnovers, we're gonna win. You have one, we're gonna lose.
Speaker 1: But Jared Goff had some pretty honest responses to Sam
Speaker 1: Farmer in the La Times about you know, I'd like
Speaker 1: to know what happened, like when did it go wrong?
Speaker 1: And I just a circle. November twenty ninth and the
Speaker 1: loss against the forty nine ers. That's when Sean McVeigh,
Speaker 1: your head coach, said you got to take care of
Speaker 1: the football. And it doesn't sound like it's that egregious, Like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, did you hear what he say? It's
Speaker 1: that he didn't say those things before. And go back
Speaker 1: to Bruce Arians. Remember when he was talking about Tom.
Speaker 1: Tom's hey, Tom's got to take care of the ball.
Speaker 1: And we're like, did you hear what Bruce Arians said?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's not it's not horrible. He was
Speaker 1: just saying, hey, I gotta take care of the football,
Speaker 1: all right. But Bruce Arians was keeping Tom Brady. The
Speaker 1: Rams were moving on from Jared Goff, So whatever that means.
Speaker 1: Stew and Phoenix is on the program. Good morning, Stu.
Speaker 1: What's on your mind today? Hey? Danone call me jacked anyways? Okay,
Speaker 1: I thank you talking me Bill Edge you Dan. I'm
Speaker 1: a little angry with the cheat that the Lions won
Speaker 1: this Okay, Oh god, trade I'm considering. I'm in Phoenix,
Speaker 1: so considering a shifting as have a tough call the
Speaker 1: making of itself. But how did we win? The only
Speaker 1: way we win is this the most Lions talking probably
Speaker 1: use on your show. But what do we do? I
Speaker 1: have no idea. Well, you know Stafford was leaving. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they were getting rid of Matthew Stafford. Stafford didn't want
Speaker 1: to be there, and I think the coaching staff thought,
Speaker 1: we have an opportunity. We can trade him, we can
Speaker 1: get it. We can get a franchise quarterback or maybe
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback in return, and we get some draft picks. Plus,
Speaker 1: you're relevant. We don't talk about the Lions any week,
Speaker 1: let alone super Bowl week, and here they are. They're relevant.
Speaker 1: The Lions are relevant. You got I don't know what
Speaker 1: you have as a head coach. He seems like a
Speaker 1: character out of a movie who's going to play a coach.
Speaker 1: But he's good for TV. He's gonna win some press
Speaker 1: conferences and you got a quarterback and you got some
Speaker 1: draft picks and okay, look it'll die down quickly, but
Speaker 1: you're at least in the conversation or people are curious
Speaker 1: about what's going on in Detroit. And it's been a while. Yes,
Speaker 1: Clem Rank. The NFC North quarterbacks one is obviously Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1: That how do you do? What is it? Unknown? In Chicago.
Speaker 1: Who is the quarterback there than Stafford and can I Cousins?
Speaker 1: Can I wait till late February early March for this? Yeah,
Speaker 1: like it's it's super Bowl week. I don't know if
Speaker 1: I want to rank NFC North QB's I don't know
Speaker 1: if Kirk Cousins is still going to be there, Aaron Rodgers,
Speaker 1: I guess is still going to be there. Well, I
Speaker 1: guess I have to finny Um. I don't know who
Speaker 1: the Bears are gonna have as their quarterback and Jared
Speaker 1: Golf is there? So right now, I guess it's Rogers,
Speaker 1: KIRKT Cousins and then Jared Golf and then whoever the
Speaker 1: Bears get. Yes, and that is not a stat of
Speaker 1: the day. We were talking about that there are no
Speaker 1: stats involved there, see keeping right on trend. Yes, we
Speaker 1: were talking about there being less Super Bowl hype. Wow
Speaker 1: jeez wow? Yes? Is it? Part of the reason is
Speaker 1: because of this quarterback carousel thing taking all the headlines.
Speaker 1: It's a crazy you know, it's a cliche. This is
Speaker 1: the craziest quarterback off season we've ever had. Based on
Speaker 1: the headlines. Yeah, but if you follow college football, this
Speaker 1: is the NFL's version of the transfer portal. Right, but
Speaker 1: we don't usually have transfer portal. That's usually college I know,
Speaker 1: but that's I think you're going to have more of
Speaker 1: this because these quarterbacks are ready to go earlier in
Speaker 1: their careers at a younger age than they ever were.
Speaker 1: When I was growing up, you had to wait a
Speaker 1: couple of years. It was really really rare that you
Speaker 1: went that guy as ready, Like Dan Marino surprised everybody
Speaker 1: because he's playing and he was playing at a very
Speaker 1: high level. His second year, they go to the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl and he's throwing forty eight touchdowns. Joe Montana had
Speaker 1: to wait a while to get in there. I mean,
Speaker 1: look at the grades of the game. Troy got in there,
Speaker 1: but you know, Dallas was terrible. John Elway didn't light
Speaker 1: the NFL on fire, you know. So nowadays you're coming in,
Speaker 1: we expect you to be good, and we may know
Speaker 1: if by the time you're twenty two or twenty three,
Speaker 1: if you can play in the NFL, which sounds crazy,
Speaker 1: but you're kind of on the clock at age twenty
Speaker 1: one or twenty two. Hey, let me see what you
Speaker 1: can do. And that's why we have questions about toa
Speaker 1: right now, which seems crazy, but it's a what can
Speaker 1: you do for me now? And that's really important with
Speaker 1: these coaches and these gms, you know, Josh Rosen, all right,
Speaker 1: we've seen enough. We're gonna move on. Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 1: Hey we got the number one pick, Josh see, thank you,
Speaker 1: nice parting gifts. Yeah, I'm Glenn. Where is that dude?
Speaker 1: I don't even know it is he was he with Miami?
Speaker 1: Is he still there? Let's play the Josh Rosen game. Um,
Speaker 1: he's not in his hot tub at UCLA. Although I
Speaker 1: give him some major props there that he had a
Speaker 1: hot tub, like a portable hot tub in his dorm room.
Speaker 1: He just never should have tweeted that out. All right?
Speaker 1: Where is Josh Rosen? Uh? Yeah, Paul, Okay, the question
Speaker 1: is what roster is he on today? Today's a piece
Speaker 1: of this. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say the Dolphins.
Speaker 1: That is incorrect, Okay, Todd Tennessee incorrect. Mclovin. I already
Speaker 1: googled it immediately. I'm sorry. I couldn't do that. At
Speaker 1: least I admit I google stuff on like other people
Speaker 1: in the room. Easy, easy, Seaton O'Connor. Uh, I don't
Speaker 1: know the giant well the good I guess as anybody, Josh.
Speaker 1: You guys are like Miami was two teams ago. No,
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen was on the Buccaneers practice squad on December
Speaker 1: twenty three. He could have got a ring. He is
Speaker 1: he got poached off the practice squad by the San
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. He is a Niner, all right?
Speaker 1: Who knew that? Is? He putting pressure on Jimmy Garoppolo
Speaker 1: quarterback controversy question mark man? But does he get a
Speaker 1: ring for being on the practice squad? Why not? Why
Speaker 1: don't know? Do you have to stay on the practice squad?
Speaker 1: I assume he helps out in practice. Who would have
Speaker 1: said that Josh Rosen gonna end up with a Super
Speaker 1: Bowl ring before any of those other quarterbacks. He'd be
Speaker 1: the first guy in that class. That would be an
Speaker 1: amazing Uh. All right, let me take a good stat
Speaker 1: of the day. First guy to win a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: ring in that class? Thanks? Uh twenty one after the hour,
Speaker 1: we'll take a break. Brandon Huffman, twenty four seven, Sports
Speaker 1: National recruiting editor will join us. Alabama just had a
Speaker 1: generational recruiting class. According to him, it might be the
Speaker 1: best recruiting class in recent memory, better than the twenty
Speaker 1: ten Flordy Gators. I'll let him talk about this um.
Speaker 1: The number one player right now opted not to sign today,
Speaker 1: and we'll tell you who that is, and that there
Speaker 1: are a couple of PAC twelve schools I think that
Speaker 1: are involved in this chase for the number one player

Speaker 1: He is the twenty four seven Sports National Recruiting editor
Speaker 1: here to talk about just how good this Alabama recruiting
Speaker 1: class was and is it truly generational? And Brandon joins us. Now, Brandon,
Speaker 1: thanks for joining us. Where does this Alabama recruiting class rank. Well,
Speaker 1: it just clinched the top overall spot in the history
Speaker 1: of twenty four seven sports recruiting rankings. And they still
Speaker 1: may not be done. They're still in contention for the
Speaker 1: number one player in the country, but as of this morning,
Speaker 1: they have already inked with the pen putting paper the
Speaker 1: number one class in the history of recruiting with some
Speaker 1: of the most elite talent that you've seen. It's on
Speaker 1: part with their twenty seventeen class that they signed with
Speaker 1: Davonte Smith and Naji Harris. But this class might be
Speaker 1: Nick Saban's best class that he's ever signed, which is
Speaker 1: saying something considering the success he's had in Tuscaloosa. The
Speaker 1: best recruiting class prior to Alabama this year was turned
Speaker 1: in by Florida. Yeah pored in twenty ten, and you
Speaker 1: could say that might have been the class that broke
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer at Florida and caused him to eventually walk
Speaker 1: away from that job. This class looks a little bit
Speaker 1: less risky than that Florida two thousand and ten class did,
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys that I expect to play
Speaker 1: right away. But it wasn't just guys on the offensive
Speaker 1: line defensive line, as Nick Saban always does. He gets
Speaker 1: players at every key position. And that's why this class
Speaker 1: ranked so high. Where did you guys have Patrick Mahomes
Speaker 1: when he was coming out of high school? So he
Speaker 1: was running to the high three star coming out in
Speaker 1: that twenty fourteen class, behind guys like Kyle Allen Keller,
Speaker 1: Chris at the time was committed to Stanford was being
Speaker 1: tauted as the next Andrew lut Mahomes was kind of
Speaker 1: forgotten a little bit. Part of that reason was there
Speaker 1: was still a thinking that he might go to baseball route.
Speaker 1: There wasn't even certainty he was going to be a
Speaker 1: football player. Baseball was still looming there as a potential
Speaker 1: threat for him. But he was a high three star
Speaker 1: and ultimately made a lot of people look really foolish
Speaker 1: with that decision. And Trevor Lawrence was number one, and
Speaker 1: here he is going to go number one in the draft.
Speaker 1: Justin Fields was two in that recruiting class, and he'll
Speaker 1: be a first round draft pick. So you know, we
Speaker 1: hit and miss at that position, but you're no different
Speaker 1: than the general managers in the NFL, sure, And I
Speaker 1: think that's when we look at that Lawrence Fields class.
Speaker 1: I mean, there was a debate for part of that
Speaker 1: year who was better Trevor Lawrence start out as the
Speaker 1: number one player, justin Fields moved ahead. Ultimately with Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 1: It looks like he's going to be the number one
Speaker 1: pick in the twenty twenty one draft. But those two
Speaker 1: were as good of a one two punches you've ever seen,
Speaker 1: and now three years later we look good on that.
Speaker 1: But there have been plenty of classes where you had
Speaker 1: guys the twenty thirteen class with Max Brown and Christian Hackenberg,
Speaker 1: those look at the safest one two punch. Max Brown
Speaker 1: never really got to go in at USC or at pick.
Speaker 1: Christian Hackenburg had an up and down career. So you
Speaker 1: have your misses. You want to follow those misses up
Speaker 1: with hits rather than go the other direction. Give me
Speaker 1: the couple of names at that position that we'll be
Speaker 1: talking about in two years. Well, the two top quarterbacks
Speaker 1: in the country are Caleb Williams, who is the number
Speaker 1: one dual threat quarterback out of the Washington DC. He's
Speaker 1: already at Oklahoma going in with the understanding that Spencer
Speaker 1: Rally is going to be the starter at least in
Speaker 1: two twenty one, and then Williams will have a chance
Speaker 1: to compete for that job and then the number one
Speaker 1: pro style quarterback. Is a familiar name to fans out
Speaker 1: west in the name of Sam Hewart, quarterback out of
Speaker 1: Kennedy Catholic High School in Durian, Washington. His father, Damon,
Speaker 1: former NFL quarterback, his uncle Brock, former NFL quarterback. Both
Speaker 1: of his dad and his uncle played quarterback at the
Speaker 1: University of Washington. He actually committed to the Huskies two
Speaker 1: years ago when Chris Peterson was still the head coach.
Speaker 1: Stayed with that commitment to Washington despite some late overtures
Speaker 1: from USC and some other schools. So he's a guy that,
Speaker 1: even with Dylan Moore is starting this year as a freshman,
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if he competes for the starting job,
Speaker 1: Whereas Caleb Williams, like a couple of the Oklahoma quarterbacks
Speaker 1: before him, probably has to wait at least the year
Speaker 1: before we start to become with the next Lincoln Riley sensation.
Speaker 1: Where is the number one recruit on twenty four to
Speaker 1: seven going roll? That's a very good question. We're still
Speaker 1: trying to figure that out and it's probably going to
Speaker 1: be two months. That player is j T. Twee Moolo
Speaker 1: out out of Eastside Catholic in Samamis, Washington. He on
Speaker 1: the early signing period named his final five at Alabama,
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Washington, Oregon, and USC. So you have three
Speaker 1: pack twelve schools relatively close to home, one being the
Speaker 1: hometown Huskies, another being Oregon which is just down the
Speaker 1: road USC where his familey is largely from southern California.
Speaker 1: Then he had the two teams playing for the National Championship,
Speaker 1: and it's really been those two teams out in front
Speaker 1: for him, Alabama and Ohio State. Part of the reason
Speaker 1: he's waiting is with the NCA dead period, he has
Speaker 1: never had a chance to visit Columbus. He still has
Speaker 1: not been out to Ohiuse State. He did camp at
Speaker 1: Alabama when he was a sophomore. So he wants to
Speaker 1: get back down to Tuscaloosa and get out to Columbus
Speaker 1: with his family to see both those schools. He's more
Speaker 1: familiar with the Pack twelve schools, but we're at least
Speaker 1: two months away from him making a decision. Ohio State
Speaker 1: Alabama played for the national championship. Now they're playing to
Speaker 1: see who gets the number one overall player. But those
Speaker 1: three Pack twelve schools trying to get relevance back into
Speaker 1: the conference are hoping he decides to stay closer to home. Brandon.
Speaker 1: We talk about this on the show occasionally Old Miss Tennessee,
Speaker 1: where sometimes you don't expect a school to have a really,
Speaker 1: really good recruiting class, and when you do that, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, that's when people start to notice, did
Speaker 1: anybody have an out of the ordinary recruiting class this year?
Speaker 1: You know Tennessee had at last spring. They paid the
Speaker 1: price this year. Anybody that you look at and you go, wow,
Speaker 1: I didn't expect them to be up in the top
Speaker 1: ten or top fifteen. Yeah, I would say, you know,
Speaker 1: Maryland is just outside of the top fifteen. Considering the
Speaker 1: struggles that they've had on the field the last few years.
Speaker 1: It is kind of a surprise to see Maryland rank
Speaker 1: so high, especially when that state's been really bleeding the
Speaker 1: top players in the state. Maryland has become a frequent
Speaker 1: stock of Big ten schools, for ACC schools, for SEC schools,
Speaker 1: and they've had a hard time keeping them. But Mike Wocksley,
Speaker 1: ever since he was at Florida, when he was at
Speaker 1: in Mexico, Alabama, he's always been known as a recruiter,
Speaker 1: always been known as one of the best recruiters. In fact,
Speaker 1: he was one of the first coaches in all of
Speaker 1: college football to start getting bonuses based on where his
Speaker 1: recruiting class rank, which kind of dispelled the long time
Speaker 1: myth that coaches said rankings don't matter when there were
Speaker 1: fifty sixty thousand reasons for a too matter. Mike Loxley
Speaker 1: has been able to overcome kind of an up and
Speaker 1: down start to his career at Maryland as the head
Speaker 1: coach by following up with a very good recruiting effort
Speaker 1: in the last couple of years, culminating with the top
Speaker 1: twenty class. So when you see Maryland in there and
Speaker 1: kind of sandwich between schools that you expect to be there,
Speaker 1: it is one of those schools that does have you
Speaker 1: scratched in your head a little bit. But if you
Speaker 1: look at Loxley's history as a recruiter, it's not a
Speaker 1: surprising essays when Q Freeze had all missed in the
Speaker 1: top ten or Tennessee with their struggles ended up with
Speaker 1: the top ten class. How did Sark do with Texas?
Speaker 1: Sark inherited a large number of these guys had already
Speaker 1: signed with Tom Herman. It was a top twenty class
Speaker 1: already when he got there. Now, one of the big
Speaker 1: things for them is that they've already gotten a commitment
Speaker 1: from one of the top running backs in the country
Speaker 1: for next year. He committed yesterday, So they were hoping
Speaker 1: to get L. J. Johnson, who was the top uncommitted
Speaker 1: back in the state of Texas. It's looking like he's
Speaker 1: going to choose Texas A and M. But Sark really
Speaker 1: the big thing for him was getting that top running
Speaker 1: back to commit four twenty twenty two. And really what
Speaker 1: it's going to come down to for Sark is how
Speaker 1: does he do with the efforts of Quinn Yours, who
Speaker 1: was once committed to Texas decommitted committed to a house state.
Speaker 1: He's the number one player in the country for twenty
Speaker 1: twenty two. Can't Stark get Texas back in it? Or
Speaker 1: it's Queen you or the law it's cause. But I
Speaker 1: think considering the timing of when Sarka was hired, being
Speaker 1: in January, he's walking into a pretty i'll put together,
Speaker 1: Class twenty twenty two is going to be that first class.
Speaker 1: We're really going to be able to judge just how
Speaker 1: well a job Sarksian's doing as a recruit at the
Speaker 1: University of Texas. Thank you, Brandon. We had a lot
Speaker 1: of fun looking at the website today and we appreciate
Speaker 1: your time. Thanks they I appreciate it. That's Brandon Huffman,
Speaker 1: National recruiting editor for twenty four seven Sports. And you know,
Speaker 1: you go back to when they started doing this, and
Speaker 1: you know, you start to see these quarterbacks and you
Speaker 1: go like, I can't miss Oh, that guy, can't miss all?
Speaker 1: Where did that guy go? Who's that guy? And you know,
Speaker 1: in fairness to these other schools, you know, they mahomes.
Speaker 1: They didn't know if he was going to play bass
Speaker 1: because his dad was a baseball player and he's going
Speaker 1: to Texas Tech. And while he's at Texas Tech, we
Speaker 1: expect Texas Tech quarterbacks to put up big numbers. But
Speaker 1: he didn't win. You know, they were a five hundred team.
Speaker 1: But what you saw, at least I did because I
Speaker 1: have no life and I'm watching those games. I just
Speaker 1: thought that that guy is the guy in the backyard
Speaker 1: who makes all the plays. And we all grew up
Speaker 1: with that guy. There was always a guy who goes
Speaker 1: man that guy, he's the best player out there. But
Speaker 1: NFL teams didn't see it that way until it's probably
Speaker 1: two or three, maybe it's maybe it was a week
Speaker 1: before the draft and I had a source who said,
Speaker 1: you better get mahomes On. He's jumping up the board.
Speaker 1: And I remember saying to Fritzie, we got to get
Speaker 1: Patrick mahomes On. He said, well, I think he's going
Speaker 1: to join us in studio. And I was like, all right,
Speaker 1: whatever it is. He's jumping up the board. And I
Speaker 1: think that surprised us all. And then you realize Andy
Speaker 1: Reid knew what he had so much so that he
Speaker 1: had Alex Smith right there playing at a you know,
Speaker 1: like a very good level, I think we could say,
Speaker 1: and he realized this is the future right here. We're
Speaker 1: going to go up and get him. And if they
Speaker 1: didn't get him, the Saints were going to get him.
Speaker 1: Two great offensive minds, and Sean Payton and Andy Reid
Speaker 1: saw it. Bears didn't see it. I mean, look at
Speaker 1: the teams that passed on Deshaun Watson and Mahomes, but
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Sean Payton, And that's always stayed with
Speaker 1: me that those guys knew, they knew something, They saw
Speaker 1: something where the other ones don't didn't. And it's that close,
Speaker 1: like the margin where you go and it goes back
Speaker 1: to what I was told a long long time ago.
Speaker 1: Don't talk yourself out of somebody. Talk about the strength.
Speaker 1: Do the strengths over shadow the weaknesses, because if you go,
Speaker 1: you know what he doesn't do? You know what he random?
Speaker 1: He died, He's just not not the size one. What
Speaker 1: does he do? Well? Focus on that and if that
Speaker 1: and that should be the overriding factor because if you
Speaker 1: can take something that's really positive and build on that,
Speaker 1: then maybe you can eliminate the negatives or reduce the negatives.
Speaker 1: And it feels like teams look for what is the negative?
Speaker 1: This is why we're not like what the Bears had
Speaker 1: to go? Why are we not taking to Shaun Watson
Speaker 1: like you had to have this conversation where you go hmm,
Speaker 1: I don't know, Well what what what don't you know?
Speaker 1: I don't know? Like he won a national title, Um,
Speaker 1: you know he beat Alabama? What what? What? What are
Speaker 1: we missing here? Like I'd love to be the other
Speaker 1: person on the other side going wait, wait, why you
Speaker 1: know what? I don't know. Maybe we maybe doesn't have
Speaker 1: a Maybe he's got glass ceiling. May maybe that's as
Speaker 1: good as he's gonna get. Now is he durable? What
Speaker 1: do you think of a home? Oh, he's trying to
Speaker 1: be like Farve, you know. And we can't somebody just
Speaker 1: you know, slinging the ball around in this weather. Oh no,
Speaker 1: we can, we can. We need somebody who's solid, dependable,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe a little more conservative of the ball.
Speaker 1: You know. I'm guessing these kind of conversations happen where
Speaker 1: somebody had to sit on the other side of the
Speaker 1: table and go, here's why we're not drafting Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: here's why we're not taking to Shaun Watson. You could
Speaker 1: do a thirty for thirty on that draft night, all
Speaker 1: the principles involved. If you could get everybody to be
Speaker 1: honest about it, that would be great, just to give
Speaker 1: you what goes on in these draft rooms. What goes
Speaker 1: on in this scouting out school. Come in sometimes and
Speaker 1: my friends a scout, and you'll go, I'll come in
Speaker 1: and I'll go, this guy is unbelievable, and they'll go,
Speaker 1: would you stake your job on it? Like they want
Speaker 1: to know? Because you are staking your job on these picks.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you really love this guy. Yeah, I did. Like
Speaker 1: I thought Josh or Josh Rosen could play. He was cocky,
Speaker 1: he was playing in the Pac twelve. I thought, Okay,
Speaker 1: he's got size, and then I realized soon he can't play. Yeah. Pull.
Speaker 1: I can remember Roseen took down Texas A and M
Speaker 1: in a night game and it was a comeback, and
Speaker 1: we came here. We were gushing. I think mel Kiper
Speaker 1: said after his freshman year, if he was eligible to
Speaker 1: come out, he'd be top fifteen. I actually did a look.
Speaker 1: I tried. I did a look around, but like Rivals
Speaker 1: in twenty four seven, they didn't get Going to about
Speaker 1: two thousand and five to look about Tom Brady's recruiting
Speaker 1: out of high school. There's almost no information on it,
Speaker 1: but Sports illustra I had an article that Bray he
Speaker 1: was getting no looks from major colleges, just a few
Speaker 1: West Coast schools, and Brady's father put together like a
Speaker 1: pro day combo highlight tape and sent it to Michigan.
Speaker 1: And it didn't even end up by the quarterback desk
Speaker 1: or it was the guy who handled California from Michigan,
Speaker 1: and he decided, well, while I'm out in California, I'll
Speaker 1: take a look at Brady. And Brady was a late
Speaker 1: scholarship at Yeah, I know it is amazing that he
Speaker 1: ended up at Michigan. And he did play a whole
Speaker 1: lot more than people. You know, It's not like this
Speaker 1: was Drew Henson was going. They're back and forth the
Speaker 1: tug of war. Brady had twenty three starts in two years.
Speaker 1: He did play an awful lot. By the way, his
Speaker 1: first pass was a touchdown to the UCLA Bruins. He
Speaker 1: threw a pick six on his very first pass at Michigan.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll take a break and last call for
Speaker 1: phone calls Watson Store. If you're watching on Peacock, we're
Speaker 1: going out into a Traggerville. It is. I guess it's
Speaker 1: Taco Wins Day and I'm looking at the spread we
Speaker 1: have out signed Chad from Treger is here and that
Speaker 1: looks awesome. Awesome, all right, we'll take a break back
Speaker 1: after the Thanks for listening to The Dan Patrick Show podcast.

Speaker 1: you have anything interesting? We got a few. Two thousand
Speaker 1: and two, the Patriots one Super Bowl x x x
Speaker 1: v I twenty seventeen over the La Rams is the
Speaker 1: first Super Bowl win for the Patriots and guests who
Speaker 1: performed the national anthem. Two thousand and two. Two thousand
Speaker 1: and two, Britney Spears Oh you're a girl, my girl.
Speaker 1: Let's see two thousand and one and the XFL debut.
Speaker 1: Your Las Vegas Outlaws beat the New York Slash New
Speaker 1: Jersey Hitman nineteen to zero. A bad job out of
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Then here's this nineteen twelve in the NFL
Speaker 1: Professional football had new rules. The field was shortened to
Speaker 1: one hundred yards, touchdowns were worth six points instead of five,
Speaker 1: touchdowns should be five points, four downs would be allowed
Speaker 1: on offense instead of three, and the kickoff has moved
Speaker 1: to from the midfield to the forty yard line. Would
Speaker 1: football have been better served it was a bigger field
Speaker 1: than one hundred yards. It used to be bigger. Well,
Speaker 1: I wondered about that. Do they get to the point where,
Speaker 1: because of the athleticism that they widen the field? Do
Speaker 1: they lengthen the field? Do they look at it the
Speaker 1: way Canadian Football League does where you have a longer
Speaker 1: end zone there? I wonder about this with the NBA.
Speaker 1: Does the NBA widen the court because of the size
Speaker 1: of the players that so many players on the perimeter?
Speaker 1: Do we raise the basket at some point? Baseball's bringing
Speaker 1: things in. I don't know if basketball would ever get
Speaker 1: to the point where they would raise the basket. There
Speaker 1: was a cover on Sports Illustrated. This is probably back
Speaker 1: in the seventies, and I think it was called the
Speaker 1: Case for the twelve foot Basket, like raising the basket
Speaker 1: the rim in the NBA to twelve feet. But I
Speaker 1: don't know if we're ever going to get to something
Speaker 1: like that. It seems like pretty drastic to go from
Speaker 1: ten to twelve. And then you're saying to everybody who's
Speaker 1: learning to shoot, I mean, imagine these guys who can't
Speaker 1: shoot as it is now, I'm going to raise it up. Yes, yeah.
Speaker 1: Could you imagine football being three downs in a bigger field, guys,
Speaker 1: it would be like the CFL. It would be wild.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, Polly. The Case for the twelve foot Basket
Speaker 1: is the cover of Sports Illustrated in December fourth, nineteen
Speaker 1: sixty seven, and talks about these seven foot guys. In
Speaker 1: the second paragraph, it says doctor James Naismith never dreamed
Speaker 1: up seeing Leuel Cinder play basketball. That's in paragraph two.
Speaker 1: Oh what would doctor Naismith think now when he's watching
Speaker 1: the NBA? What is going on? Get them all inside,
Speaker 1: get the layup box out, make your free throws a
Speaker 1: couple of phone calls here Marvin in Virginia, Hi Marvin,
Speaker 1: what's on your mind today? Hey Dan, thank you so much,
Speaker 1: First time, long time. I'm a die hard Raider fan,
Speaker 1: and I'm also a big fan of Derek Carr. But
Speaker 1: I want to tell you guys why I believe the
Speaker 1: Raiders have to get to Shawn Watson. I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure Car can get them to the Promised Land,
Speaker 1: especially with my homes and Herbert already into division, and
Speaker 1: they cannot take the chance of the Broncos landing Watson
Speaker 1: as well. And if they do, I mean they're done well.
Speaker 1: I think that you make some valid points there. It's
Speaker 1: just just so you know, the Las Vegas Review was
Speaker 1: saying that, you know, they might be pursuing, possibly pursuing,
Speaker 1: but I don't you know, I'm not gonna move this
Speaker 1: down the rail too far because that's not fair, that's
Speaker 1: not legitimate reporting. But you know, of course the Raiders
Speaker 1: would if you said the Raiders could have to Shaun Watson, Yes,
Speaker 1: of course, San Francisco. How many teams wouldn't be interested?
Speaker 1: Not many? Richard in Atlanta, Hi, Richard, Hey, first time,

Speaker 1: Francisco forty Niners quarterback Josh Rosen apparently, who thought? Who
Speaker 1: had thought? That? Setan O'Connor George Kittle, Uh doesn't really
Speaker 1: like compliments. I know it was good to him compliments,
Speaker 1: and then he didn't realize that they were compliments, uh
Speaker 1: seton Pollie. Chase Young has been tormenting Urban Myers offenses
Speaker 1: for years. What did I learn on today's programmed? You
Speaker 1: learned Chase Daniels two and three as a starter and
Speaker 1: is leaving your career currently. Jared Gobb's backup in Detroit.
