Speaker 1: Good Morning Football is the production of the NFL in
Speaker 1: partnership with iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2: Good Morning Football. Welcome back to GMFB. It's time for
Speaker 2: a segment we call we Iner we Out. Here's how
Speaker 2: it works.
Speaker 3: I say a statement and then my co hosts in
Speaker 3: LA tell me whether they agree with it or they
Speaker 3: veheminently disagree with it.
Speaker 2: It causes great debate. And we start with the draft.
Speaker 3: Let's take a look at the draft order as we
Speaker 3: head into drafts season here on NFL Network.
Speaker 2: Let's look at the top. It's the Titans.
Speaker 3: Then it's the Browns, and it's the Giants, and it's
Speaker 3: Cody Kessler's aforementioned team, the Patriots. Then it's Cody Kessler's
Speaker 3: other aforementioned team, the Jaguars. And we got the Raiders,
Speaker 3: the Jets, the Panthers, Manti Teo, Saints, and then the Bears.
Speaker 3: And then we've got Daniel Jeremiah's latest mock draft was
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five two point zero and he actually has
Speaker 3: the top pick, being a pass rusher Abdual Carter out
Speaker 3: of the Big Ten Penn State Tennessee Titans first pick.
Speaker 2: Overall, they don't trade out and they take a pass rusher.
Speaker 2: Let's already get into it. Guys.
Speaker 3: Here is my statement and Titan tends. If you're watching,
Speaker 3: we appreciate your viewership. Yes, the Titans can afford to
Speaker 3: skip on taking a quarterback with the first overall pick.
Speaker 2: Are we in or are we out?
Speaker 3: We will start with our lovely co host, who is
Speaker 3: wearing a Titan switch.
Speaker 2: Let's do it, missus. Jamie ard all, Jamie, what do
Speaker 2: you think? I don't know why. No, I'm going first.
Speaker 4: I always go first.
Speaker 5: We in reapply, No, no, no, Peter's right, okay, we A.
Speaker 5: It doesn't matter what that says. We don't pay attention
Speaker 5: to the prompter. We look at what Jamie goes first,
Speaker 5: and we rec Frankly, I get so. I get so
Speaker 5: caught off guard during We and We OTT, I was
Speaker 5: I prepared for this segment. There is an article from
Speaker 5: that I was reading on the Tennessee and Nick Sus
Speaker 5: I like your take, Nix Sus. It says the Tennessee
Speaker 5: Titans should call all trade partners and hulking linemen. So yet, Peter,
Speaker 5: I am in on the fact that they can afford
Speaker 5: to skip on quarterback with the first overall pick. They
Speaker 5: can either trade back for a team that is oh
Speaker 5: so desperate for a quarterback, or I like that passworder
Speaker 5: take and I will pretty much take anything, Daniel Jeremiah
Speaker 5: says to the Bank. So I like the fact that
Speaker 5: they are gonna skip at least what DJ says on
Speaker 5: the number one overall pick with quarterback trade sus, you
Speaker 5: are allowed to go trade us, Jamie, No, no trade?
Speaker 6: Is that the person's name nex sus, nix sus, next us.
Speaker 2: Next US.
Speaker 4: I'm with you, nix sus. I like it.
Speaker 6: I am totally in on this. And the reason being
Speaker 6: is if you look at this year's draft class as
Speaker 6: far as quarterbacks are concerned, it's not like the past
Speaker 6: two draft classes.
Speaker 4: Last year we had.
Speaker 6: Caleb Williams, we had Jayden Daniels, Boone Nicks, Drake Made.
Speaker 4: The year before that, we had Bryce Young, c J. Stroud.
Speaker 6: This isn't that type of year. And your right side
Speaker 6: of your O line needs some help. So there's some
Speaker 6: good offensive linemen that you could draft number one overall.
Speaker 6: Because I don't know if you watched the Super Bowl,
Speaker 6: but the Philadelphia Egos were able to just torture offensive
Speaker 6: line with just four guys. So if you don't want.
Speaker 6: You could have a future Hall of Famer at quarterback,
Speaker 6: but if you don't have the ability to keep him
Speaker 6: on his feet, it don't matter who's back there, he's.
Speaker 4: Not going to be He's not going to do anything.
Speaker 4: So I will I'm totally on this. People's up shrikes.
Speaker 3: They took an offensive lineman in the first round of
Speaker 3: the top ten last year, they did it the year
Speaker 3: before with Scoronsky. They're not taking offensive line So the
Speaker 3: question is do you take a pass rusher and then
Speaker 3: and then you got Will Levis?
Speaker 2: You're taking a right tackle first overall. That's not happening.
Speaker 3: So let's reinsest this from you. Could you pass on
Speaker 3: a quarterback? Could you roll with Will Levis or go
Speaker 3: with a free agent quarterback? Is that how you look
Speaker 3: at it.
Speaker 4: I'm not saying you roll with Will Levis.
Speaker 6: I'm saying there's a lot of free agents out there
Speaker 6: right now at the quarterback position that will be a
Speaker 6: better fit for you for your program. I'm just saying
Speaker 6: with the first overall pick, I don't think there's a
Speaker 6: first overall pick caliber quarterback in this draft class. There's
Speaker 6: nobody that I could look at that, say a war
Speaker 6: Shador Sat. There's nobody that I can look at it
Speaker 6: say you're my franchise quarterback if I am the Tennessee Titans.
Speaker 4: I do love Abdull Carter.
Speaker 6: I saw him just torture my Notre Dame fighting Irish
Speaker 6: with only one arm. He had a right shouldered injury.
Speaker 6: And this guy was still getting pressure. He's still making
Speaker 6: plays and I think in the first series he had
Speaker 6: like three out of the four tackles out of that
Speaker 6: first series. So I really like Abdull Carter in this regard.
Speaker 5: Okay, Cody, here comes your first test. If you go
Speaker 5: all in three across the table, then Kyle Branton's usually
Speaker 5: here throws his pen at the camera.
Speaker 2: So are you going to go three? And oh on
Speaker 2: the are you in on this? No?
Speaker 7: I wow disagree on I'm going to go out. And
Speaker 7: maybe because I'm a quarterback, I'm a little biased on
Speaker 7: this question here, Peter, but I think they take a quarterback,
Speaker 7: and I agree with Manton. I think Abdul Carter is
Speaker 7: a very good football player. He's a red dot player
Speaker 7: when we're on offense, right, Mantinos, When you get in
Speaker 7: the film room, you put the red laser pointer on
Speaker 7: the coach does and says, hey, this guy can disrupt
Speaker 7: the game plan like an Aaron Donald, Right, like TJ.
Speaker 4: Watt on the edge.
Speaker 7: I think Abdull Carter is zat caliber of a player.
Speaker 7: But the reason that I think the Titans go quarterback
Speaker 7: is because of their new head coach, Brian Callahan.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 7: What he's been able to do the last five years
Speaker 7: as the offensive coordinator for the Bengals with Joe Burrow
Speaker 7: and his development has been very impressive. He took Joe Burrow,
Speaker 7: who had two injuries during that time, right, who one
Speaker 7: comeback player of the Year, who had to overcome adversity,
Speaker 7: and he allowed him to become the quarterback.
Speaker 4: That he is today. Right.
Speaker 7: And Zach Taylor was a big part of that in
Speaker 7: the pieces around him. But Brian Callahan was instrumental in
Speaker 7: Joe Burrow's success. I think if he goes out and
Speaker 7: the guy I'm taking to be more upfront is cam Or,
Speaker 7: I would go out and take cam Ord.
Speaker 4: I think his arm talent is off the charts.
Speaker 7: I think he can make every throw that you can
Speaker 7: ask him to make from a platform, right from throwing sidearm,
Speaker 7: getting over the top with without getting his feet involved.
Speaker 7: There's a throw in the Bowl game where he's standing
Speaker 7: flat footed and just flicks it to the back of
Speaker 7: the end zone. He just has that natural thrower.
Speaker 4: Ability, which is very impressive.
Speaker 7: He just needs to learn when to play hero ball
Speaker 7: and when not to when to be Superman, and when
Speaker 7: it's okay to be Clark Kent, and I think Brian
Speaker 7: Callahan can help him do that.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 7: But if I was to say that I'm in on
Speaker 7: that and that they don't go that route and they
Speaker 7: go free agency, like NTI said, fifty million in cas space,
Speaker 7: they could go out and get a bridge quarterback if
Speaker 7: they want to take some time and then maybe wait
Speaker 7: till later drafts to find their rookie quarterback or.
Speaker 2: Their future franchise player.
Speaker 7: But yeah, I'm disagreeing on this and I'm gonna go
Speaker 7: out and I think they take Campboy.
Speaker 4: You like it.
Speaker 3: I love that Cody's talking quarterback play because here he
Speaker 3: is a great usc quarterback and the guy that succeeded
Speaker 3: him might be a free agent. I look at Sam
Speaker 3: Darnold as a real possibility for Tennessee if the Vikings
Speaker 3: let Sam Donald walk is It's not perfect. They have
Speaker 3: the offensive line they have the young quarterback coach, they
Speaker 3: have Nick Holes an offensive coordinator.
Speaker 2: To me, Sam Darnald, and doing that on.
Speaker 3: Like the first day of free agency, take all the
Speaker 3: money go, and then.
Speaker 2: You get up Duel Carter.
Speaker 3: You could have both another quarterback to watch. You mentioned Callie,
Speaker 3: and I haven't seen this anywhere and I'm not really
Speaker 3: as up to date on Titans dot com and the
Speaker 3: Titans Reddit message boards. But you talk about Callahan, He's
Speaker 3: got a lot of success with Derek Carr in his career.
Speaker 3: If the Saints are looking to ship Derek Carr somewhere,
Speaker 3: I would think Tennessee as a bridge quarterback situation could
Speaker 3: make sense reuniting Brian Callahan and Derek Carr. But I'm
Speaker 3: with you, I don't think you'd take a quarterback first
Speaker 3: over all, if there's all these veteran quarterbacks and there's
Speaker 3: a guy like Abdul Carter available, Manti, I'm gonna give
Speaker 3: you another whack at this because you.
Speaker 2: Said that you take a right guard first overall. What
Speaker 2: do you think.
Speaker 6: Shrikes right tackle that they need the right side strikes.
Speaker 4: I know you just said they had to line the
Speaker 4: right side.
Speaker 6: Is that I don't know, Maybe does that bit more offended?
Speaker 2: Iregs you?
Speaker 6: It was like a personal insult on that they have
Speaker 6: an a line.
Speaker 7: And Manti's the defensive guys saying take offense first.
Speaker 4: Give me anyway.
Speaker 6: I wanted to ask Cody this. I know you brought
Speaker 6: up cam Ward and I really like him. He's my
Speaker 6: favorite quarterback in this draft. Now, the thing about cam Ward,
Speaker 6: and I'm really asking you because you you know this
Speaker 6: better than me, I don't know. With cam Ward's lack
Speaker 6: of experience under center, how that will you know, maybe
Speaker 6: kind of hurt him or his development in the NFL?
Speaker 6: Is that something from a quarterbacks perspective, when you're under
Speaker 6: center compared to when you're in shotgun? Majority of time,
Speaker 6: I look back at his Washington State highlight tape, A
Speaker 6: lot of it is shot You look at all his
Speaker 6: Miama stuff shotgun?
Speaker 4: So how is that?
Speaker 2: Cody?
Speaker 5: Before you answer this, know that you were here for
Speaker 5: four more days and you don't have to burn your
Speaker 5: cam Ward take right now.
Speaker 7: I'll tell you right now just a little preview for
Speaker 7: later on this episode Tomorrow, we are going to talk
Speaker 7: a lot more about quarterbacks and where I found that.
Speaker 7: But I do I will say what I agree with is.
Speaker 7: I do think cam Ward is the first quarterback in
Speaker 7: this draft. I think he's a very good player. Even
Speaker 7: before Washington State, I'll razy when he went to Incarnate
Speaker 7: word right, and they were a shotgun pretty much ninety
Speaker 7: nine point nine percent of the time goes to Washington State.
Speaker 4: Same thing.
Speaker 7: I think if we're talking maybe five, six, seven years ago,
Speaker 7: mantid that makes a little bit more sense. In today's
Speaker 7: era of the NFL. There's not a ton of under centered.
Speaker 7: They're getting away from that po style type of offense, right.
Speaker 7: And then Brian Callahan when you see him back in Cincinnati,
Speaker 7: the same thing. There's a lot of shotgun right. It's
Speaker 7: a lot of situational football. But I don't think it's
Speaker 7: going to hurt him too much. I think where teams
Speaker 7: really excel, especially with the number one overall pick, is
Speaker 7: when they tailor their team to the quarterback that they
Speaker 7: just brought in. Instead of bringing a guy in and saying,
Speaker 7: all right, you better fit in our scheme or it's
Speaker 7: not going to work. Right, it's just a lose lose
Speaker 7: in that situation. You just got to be able to
Speaker 7: if you're bring a quarterback in to make your offense
Speaker 7: work for him like a cam Ward.
Speaker 3: Sure, okay, I love this and it's going to be
Speaker 3: all week. We're going to be talking cam Ward. We
Speaker 3: are going to talk Shandor Sanders, we will talk Jackson Dark,
Speaker 3: we will talk all of these guys because it is
Speaker 3: a draft and it really starts this week at the Combine.
Speaker 3: All right, sticking in that division, you know, the Jaguars
Speaker 3: made a pretty splashy hire last week while our show
Speaker 3: was off the air for a week, and it was
Speaker 3: James Gladstone, thirty four year old as their general manager.
Speaker 3: Thirty four years old, comes from the Rams organization. Take
Speaker 3: a look at this tweet that I put out here.
Speaker 2: This is just the facts, Hiri. I'm Gladstone.
Speaker 3: They now have a thirty nine year old head coach
Speaker 3: and Liam Cohne, a thirty four year old GM, and
Speaker 3: James Gladstone, a twenty nine year old offensive coordinator in
Speaker 3: Grant new Dinsky forty two year old d C Anthony
Speaker 3: camp Campanel, and all of them are in the first
Speaker 3: years in their respective roles. So all first time, first
Speaker 3: time head coach, first time GM, first time OHC, first
Speaker 3: time DC. My statement is this, Yes, with the hiring
Speaker 3: of a first time head coach GMOC and DC Jacksonville.
Speaker 3: This is a little worrisome with the lack of experience
Speaker 3: and guys who have been there and done that. Jamie,
Speaker 3: we start there with you as we are a young
Speaker 3: show and we always like to roll the dice on you.
Speaker 2: Yes, this is a really young group. Yeah.
Speaker 5: I had never hosted a TV show before and they
Speaker 5: hired me. It was great couple of years back, and
Speaker 5: here I am three years later. They can't get rid
Speaker 5: of me. I like the blind leading the blind concept, Peter.
Speaker 5: This doesn't stress me out at all. I guess I'm
Speaker 5: out on this. This is their first time in these roles,
Speaker 5: and that's a technicality because oftentimes guys like this get
Speaker 5: hired a year or two after they will probably do
Speaker 5: these certain jobs. And maybe these guys were available because
Speaker 5: they were being picky, because they're good at these certain jobs.
Speaker 5: The Liam Cohen experience has been a fascinating watch. The
Speaker 5: fact that he bounced between Kentucky and LA and back
Speaker 5: to Kentucky and the Baker Mayfield experience. I love that hire.
Speaker 5: And then to go after that, I don't know the
Speaker 5: other guys as well as shrags does. But this doesn't
Speaker 5: worry me at all. I think if you see this
Speaker 5: team all of a sudden and take back the division
Speaker 5: and division that is ripe for overtaking at times in
Speaker 5: the AFC South Cody, this doesn't streuss me out at all.
Speaker 5: After that, after this first season together, maybe, but like
Speaker 5: at this point, it's just like roll the dice out
Speaker 5: and play with these young guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm in on being worried.
Speaker 4: I couldn't.
Speaker 7: I don't really know how to worry aboutorting this one,
Speaker 7: but I'm in on the worrisome part. I just yeah,
Speaker 7: I'm worriedsome a little bit with the young hires because
Speaker 7: it's just it's now, if you hire a young head
Speaker 7: coach and Liam Cone and you surround him with experience,
Speaker 7: maybe not as much worried, right, because you have guys
Speaker 7: that he can learn from, that he can lean on.
Speaker 4: But you have.
Speaker 7: Udinsky first year, right, you have Campanelli first year, and
Speaker 7: then like Peter mentioned, you have Gladstone who's thirty four
Speaker 7: year old general manager. Now, the upside of that is
Speaker 7: he was with less need with the Rams for the
Speaker 7: last nine years. He saw some blockbuster trades, right, he
Speaker 7: saw the Stafford the golf trade.
Speaker 2: He saw that went down.
Speaker 7: He understands how it or what it takes to build
Speaker 7: a Super Bowl winning roster.
Speaker 2: So those things all work for him.
Speaker 7: Just the thing for me is that if this isn't
Speaker 7: right right, this doesn't get them over that hump, because
Speaker 7: they've been close before. We go back to Doug Maron
Speaker 7: and I was on that twenty eighteen twenty eighteen team.
Speaker 7: But before that they go and of the Patriots and
Speaker 7: the AFC Championship right a year away.
Speaker 4: This is our time.
Speaker 2: We're going to take over the AFC South.
Speaker 7: Slowly, you know, slowly regrets they go down, then they
Speaker 7: go back and kind of breeze over the urban my heart.
Speaker 7: But then we go to Doug Peterson, you have Trevor
Speaker 7: Lawrence right then we see them win or go to
Speaker 7: the playoffs and they have a chance to really take
Speaker 7: over the AFC South again. Then they slowly digress again
Speaker 7: and have a regression and go backwards. It's just frustrating
Speaker 7: for all the fans out in New Ball. They want
Speaker 7: to see it, you know, really turn the page and
Speaker 7: take that next step. I just don't know if hiring
Speaker 7: an all rookie staff, including your GM is going to
Speaker 7: get him over that hump.
Speaker 4: I'll ask you a question.
Speaker 6: If they're fifty three man roster and they're all rookies,
Speaker 6: would you be worriedsome would you?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 4: Of course, Yeah, So that answers that's me. I'm in
Speaker 4: on that. Peter.
Speaker 6: I am so worrisome that these are all rookie guys
Speaker 6: at their positions.
Speaker 4: Now. Liam Cohen I was worried.
Speaker 6: Worries some from his his presser when he said, dude,
Speaker 6: I was waiting waiting.
Speaker 2: From that we don't tech that.
Speaker 6: But from from the fact that there's all first year guys.
Speaker 4: There's there's no veteran presence.
Speaker 6: Whenever you have a first year head coach, you want
Speaker 6: to make sure that you have somebody surrounding them that
Speaker 6: can teach them, that can lead them to say, hey,
Speaker 6: don't go down this path, don't make that call, don't
Speaker 6: make this decision. Whatever it is, whether there's a head coach,
Speaker 6: whether it's a linebacker, you want to make sure that
Speaker 6: you have a veteran presence that kind of show him
Speaker 6: the ropes a little bit. So, Peter, for this subject,
Speaker 6: I am definitely a little worrisome for the Jacksonville jag
Speaker 6: Wars Yeah, it's fair.
Speaker 2: It's fair.
Speaker 3: It's different, and it's one of those deals where when
Speaker 3: they got Liam Cohen from Tampa, it is basically like,
Speaker 3: we got to give Liam the keys because we need
Speaker 3: him to leave Tampa and being the highest paid offensive
Speaker 3: coordinator in football and take a risk on us, and
Speaker 3: in doing so, they gave away a lot of the
Speaker 3: power and a lot of the decision making.
Speaker 2: And I love that he says, you.
Speaker 3: Know what, I'm not going to do what Sean McVay
Speaker 3: did and hire away Phillips.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to do what.
Speaker 3: A Stefanski didn't hire.
Speaker 2: A Jim Schwartz. I'm coming in there. I'm hiring Camp, who.
Speaker 3: Is one of like the fiery defensive coordinators, but as
Speaker 3: a first year coordinator, and it's forty two, I'm hiring
Speaker 3: Grant new Dinsky. Guys twenty nine nine. Grant is twenty nine,
Speaker 3: twenty nine. And I have heard from from various people
Speaker 3: who are with him in Minnesota and they're like, he
Speaker 3: is the brightest young offensive mine in football. This guy
Speaker 3: is sharp. He's from Doylestown, PA. Like he's football football, football.
Speaker 2: That dude's twenty nine, twenty nine. And then to say Oh, in.
Speaker 3: Gm we'll interview all these other but we're also going
Speaker 3: to go with a thirty four year old who when
Speaker 3: we mention his name on NFL Network, there's not a
Speaker 3: lot of b roll of him because he's on the
Speaker 3: road so much. So I think it's really interesting that
Speaker 3: the Jaguars right this direction. I also think it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3: This is a youth movement in Jacksonville. They've done the
Speaker 3: Urban Meyer thing, They've done the Doug Peterson thing in
Speaker 3: liam We trust, they're basically saying, and it's in his hands.
Speaker 3: This is the organization and the I guess the model
Speaker 3: that he envisioned when he left Tampa to take this
Speaker 3: job in Jacksonville.
Speaker 2: Good stuff, Peter.
Speaker 5: We love you, AFC South, all right, don't say that
Speaker 5: we don't talk about you. Here we are day one
Speaker 5: of the offseason. We got your back. We're gonna check
Speaker 5: in with Tom Pellisera. We are checking in within the
Speaker 5: Appolis except for this on our show. It's Combine week.
Speaker 4: Everybody.
Speaker 2: We want to know how things are feeling.
Speaker 3: Good Morning Football, Welcome back to GMFB. We're live here
Speaker 3: in Indianapolis, and we're here with one of the top
Speaker 3: coaches in the NFL. The Buffalo Bills head coach mister
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott, Welcome back to the show.
Speaker 2: It's great to be here.
Speaker 4: Great to be here.
Speaker 9: I love I feel like I'm an assistant on the
Speaker 9: on the studio, on the team.
Speaker 2: Right, this is no joke.
Speaker 3: I feel like Martin Short, you always go on with
Speaker 3: like David Letterman, and it was like America's Guests.
Speaker 2: You're a good Morning Football's guest. You love having you on.
Speaker 3: You're always great and you are part of the family.
Speaker 3: And it's another off season. Now we turn the page again,
Speaker 3: but can't help but look back on last year and
Speaker 3: just if you could take a moment to talk about
Speaker 3: what this team accomplished. Maybe what's your quarterback accomplished along
Speaker 3: the way as well.
Speaker 9: Yeah, great season. We can't forget the type of year
Speaker 9: we have, really, I mean, everyone wants to win the
Speaker 9: last game of the year and we'll get there at
Speaker 9: some point. But you know, between now and then, the
Speaker 9: journey has been incredible, the amount of success we've been
Speaker 9: able to sustain. Josh Allen winning MVP. Super proud of
Speaker 9: him his accomplishment. That's a once in a lifetime deal.
Speaker 9: So just super proud. Of him and happy for him.
Speaker 3: We were watching a best of like miked up yesterday
Speaker 3: on Good Morning Football, and there's this awesome jovial scene
Speaker 3: in the locker room where Josh Allen's like.
Speaker 2: All right, Monday's off.
Speaker 8: Coaches, you got to come in, but the players were
Speaker 8: and I'm like, we forget everyone thinks about the end
Speaker 8: of the season, but it's like, what amazing moments of
Speaker 8: elation you guys had, and all these teams, it's only
Speaker 8: gonna be one team that hus Lombardi at the end,
Speaker 8: but we can't take away from the amazing year that
Speaker 8: all your players and your coachings have had.
Speaker 9: Yeah, I appreciate you saying that and acknowledging that. Yeah,
Speaker 9: it's the journey, right. I mean, you want to.
Speaker 2: Be happy at your job. You want to have fun
Speaker 2: at your job.
Speaker 9: I think we do a great job of balancing balancing
Speaker 9: that and all the while trying to win games and
Speaker 9: bring a world championship to Buffalo.
Speaker 3: And then you go to the the Super Bowl week
Speaker 3: and the Chiefs are playing the Eagles, and this could
Speaker 3: be a sour moment, but then you guys had this
Speaker 3: awesome moment on Thursday night where he is crowned MVP,
Speaker 3: and I thought it was pretty cool you actually flew
Speaker 3: in and attended as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, we did.
Speaker 9: You know, we felt like, you know, he was gonna
Speaker 9: be the MVP. We wanted to be there to support
Speaker 9: him naturally, and knowing that he was going to have
Speaker 9: a lot of support down there as well. But even
Speaker 9: if he just if he knew we were there right
Speaker 9: with our hand on his back, and just so proud
Speaker 9: of him. Like I said, he's worked so hard to
Speaker 9: get to where he's at, so many questions about him,
Speaker 9: about his ability coming out of Wyoming, and just again
Speaker 9: can't be more proud of him and what he's meant
Speaker 9: to our team but also our community.
Speaker 3: And last year, a lot of the storylines in training
Speaker 3: camp when we were talking to guys.
Speaker 2: Was like, how are you gonna do it without this guy?
Speaker 3: People step up? People step up, and a lot of
Speaker 3: players did step up. One of my favorite players of
Speaker 3: the year was wild Card round Josh running around on
Speaker 3: a fourth and one and hits Ty Johnson in the
Speaker 3: back of the end zone and it's like a the.
Speaker 2: Courage to call that play be to executed and then.
Speaker 3: See it's Ty Johnson making the cat it's this third
Speaker 3: down running back who of course makes this huge play.
Speaker 3: You have to be so proud of the way that
Speaker 3: everyone stepped up despite some departures from the roster.
Speaker 9: Well, we had that, and you're always going to have that.
Speaker 9: You're always going to have guys graduate, so to speak.
Speaker 9: And you know, led by Josh and his leadership, others
Speaker 9: stepped up, right. And it's never about one person or
Speaker 9: one player or one coach. It's really about the team.
Speaker 9: And with Josh's leadership and the way he led our
Speaker 9: team this year, it just brought everybody else's level of.
Speaker 2: Play and performance.
Speaker 4: Though.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and yesterday we got some news who was reported
Speaker 3: that Khalil Shakir got a new deal. That's a player
Speaker 3: that had an outstanding season less of the Boise State product.
Speaker 3: If you want to talk about a little bit what
Speaker 3: he brought. Knowing the departures at the wide receiver position
Speaker 3: last season.
Speaker 9: Well, when you talk about Khalil, you talk about consistency, dependability, availability.
Speaker 9: Sometimes there's players that fly under the radar, right, and
Speaker 9: he's one of them, and so we reward guys that
Speaker 9: work hard, guys that earn the right and then he's
Speaker 9: very consistent and what a team guy. So I just
Speaker 9: can't be more grateful of him and his family and
Speaker 9: the results have been on the field, but his impact
Speaker 9: off the field has been immeasurable for us.
Speaker 3: You got all these different free agents this year. We
Speaker 3: can go through the list. That's not what the point
Speaker 3: of this segment is. I do want to ask about
Speaker 3: James Cook, Jimbo, who had an outstanding breakout season, incredible
Speaker 3: running back, big piece of this. Anytime you get a
Speaker 3: free agent of that type of caliber and we're here
Speaker 3: at the COMBA, which kind of the first step, how
Speaker 3: do you proceed in what's the conversations and do you
Speaker 3: ever consider reaching out to the player himself As a head.
Speaker 2: Coach, Well, I do.
Speaker 9: I try and stay in touch with the players, especially
Speaker 9: the ones that are in these situations, and unfortunately, this
Speaker 9: is a business, right We try and be as transformational
Speaker 9: and caring for the players as we can. And even
Speaker 9: though it's a business, there's times then that the business
Speaker 9: does show up the business part of the business, and
Speaker 9: sometimes these things have a way of working themselves out.
Speaker 9: But to your point, communication is important.
Speaker 3: I think about this build team. You guys have had
Speaker 3: so many amazing seasons. He came up just short this year,
Speaker 3: but there are signs that this will happen.
Speaker 4: We know.
Speaker 3: I also think back in the nineties Marv Levy and
Speaker 3: like the Sir Andrews speech that he gave that one
Speaker 3: year after.
Speaker 2: The Super Bowl.
Speaker 3: What is the message now as we turn the page
Speaker 3: yet again and it's like, hey, gentlemen, we got to
Speaker 3: get back up off the mat and we've got to
Speaker 3: fight again.
Speaker 9: Well, I think again, you want to keep things in perspective, right,
Speaker 9: we're all shooting for that.
Speaker 2: We work extremely hard. This is not a hobby.
Speaker 9: It's a job and it's a profession and we spend
Speaker 9: a lot of time trying to become the best in
Speaker 9: the world at something and so it doesn't come easy.
Speaker 2: But we respect that process.
Speaker 9: And through all the journey and adversity that you go through,
Speaker 9: I think you develop character, and within that you discover
Speaker 9: or continue to discover or rediscover even your purpose.
Speaker 2: And that's why we're in Buffalo.
Speaker 9: We've got the best fans in the NFL, and we're
Speaker 9: there to win a world championship, but we're also there
Speaker 9: to bring hope and purpose.
Speaker 2: To a community. Yeah.
Speaker 3: I thought one of the cool moments of the season
Speaker 3: you guys play the shootout against the Rams and you
Speaker 3: come up just shore, but then Detroit is it and
Speaker 3: you guys take care of bus us on the road
Speaker 3: and show like, hey, we can do that.
Speaker 2: This seam has gotten better and better and better.
Speaker 3: What would you like to see from this group of
Speaker 3: men next season that maybe we can fine tune and
Speaker 3: maybe do something a little differently to even get even
Speaker 3: better the following year.
Speaker 9: Well, you know, every year is different. You've got to
Speaker 9: start over every season, shregs, and you know that. I
Speaker 9: think the biggest thing right now for us is to
Speaker 9: get healthy where we need to get healthy, having great offseason,
Speaker 9: and then start anew with a new team that we're
Speaker 9: gonna put together this offseason.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of.
Speaker 3: The plays that we loved on an NFL network was
Speaker 3: the Josh Allen throws it to a Mario Cooper mar and.
Speaker 2: Throws a little pitch.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I ever got your your statement, like,
Speaker 3: obviously that's all improbaent.
Speaker 2: Well know I called it.
Speaker 9: I mean, Joe Brady gets a heck of a lot of.
Speaker 2: Credit, but I calved that play very rare that I'm
Speaker 2: gonna chime in. It's a guy do that play.
Speaker 9: We didn't know my brother and I did that in
Speaker 9: the backyard, you know, years ago and snow playing snow football. Right, Hey,
Speaker 9: I'm gonna catch it, I'm gonna pitch it.
Speaker 4: Back to me.
Speaker 2: Do it.
Speaker 3: But your reaction in real time, just think us through,
Speaker 3: like you see something like that, like.
Speaker 2: This is that guy's a free kind of even do well?
Speaker 2: So it worked?
Speaker 9: No, I'm like I was probably like every fan in
Speaker 9: the stadium and every fan at home going, but oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: and then it doesn't. I'm like with Josh, doesn't surprise
Speaker 9: me exist that works.
Speaker 3: You and Andy have this great relationship obviously, Andy Reid.
Speaker 3: You guys were on the same staff, and now you're
Speaker 3: going up and down playing against each other all these years,
Speaker 3: the regular season, all the years in the postseason, Andy.
Speaker 2: Falls short of the Super Bowl? Do you give Andy
Speaker 2: a text? Do you give Andy a call?
Speaker 3: Knowing he's had all these moments of elation, but he
Speaker 3: might be feeling pretty down up to the way that thing ended.
Speaker 2: Well, yes and no.
Speaker 9: You know, he reached out to me after our game,
Speaker 9: and I've reached out to him after There's there's been
Speaker 9: you know, games we've beaten him as well, and so
Speaker 9: it's a tough business. It's hard to win one game,
Speaker 9: let alone a super Bowl, and he was on the
Speaker 9: on the losing end of this one. And but he's
Speaker 9: won a lot, right, So, but you know, my admiration,
Speaker 9: my respect for Andy Reid runs deep, and I've learned
Speaker 9: so much from him. Having said that, though our games
Speaker 9: are extremely competitive for a reason, he wants to beat
Speaker 9: me and I want to beat him. And I think
Speaker 9: that's high level come petition and good for the game.
Speaker 3: You guys both work together in Philly, which then brings
Speaker 3: up your job.
Speaker 2: Also that you were another hat here.
Speaker 3: The Competition Committee and the Tush push has been a
Speaker 3: big topic of conversation. You're in those conversations, you're in
Speaker 3: those meetings. Just give us a maybe even fifteen thirty
Speaker 3: second summary of what we're looking at as we have
Speaker 3: these conversations about potentially banning this play that has been
Speaker 3: so advantageous for the Eagles.
Speaker 9: Well, it's been a good play, right, it's been a
Speaker 9: good play. I can't argue that. I think there's just
Speaker 9: things every year you have to talk about. You have
Speaker 9: to whether it's changed or not, you have to talk
Speaker 9: about it because it is a unique style of play
Speaker 9: with unique call it techniques, and again give credit to
Speaker 9: the Eagles what they've been able to create been very
Speaker 9: creative and you know, kind of trailblazing in a way
Speaker 9: around the league a little bit. So it's just something
Speaker 9: we have to talk about. We'll see where it goes,
Speaker 9: but we have to give it to do.
Speaker 3: At least my last one, there was footage of Josh
Speaker 3: Allen and his new fiance in Italy going around. They
Speaker 3: were enjoying the European Do you get the invite like
Speaker 3: they're gonna go do like Milan Fashion Week?
Speaker 2: Is Sean McDermot getting the text coach you want to
Speaker 2: we got a.
Speaker 3: Spot on you know if you want to sit front
Speaker 3: row at the fashion show?
Speaker 2: No, yeah, no, no, they sent it.
Speaker 9: But I have a filter, right, and so yeah, I
Speaker 9: spend most of my off season in Buffalo.
Speaker 2: And the Elements and we look forward to that.
Speaker 9: I love skiing and and uh being around Buffalo. So yeah, no,
Speaker 9: no clear imitation came through on my phone.
Speaker 2: But we'll see.
Speaker 3: No, I mean, just for the viewers at home, I've
Speaker 3: been been to Italy, I've been to Buffalo, like Milan
Speaker 3: has nothing on Buffalo, like I just I think everyone
Speaker 3: would say, great, right, you agree, and that's it.
Speaker 9: That's where Bill's I mean, Bill's Mafia is everywhere right
Speaker 9: there course, But to be around Buffalo, you know, sometimes
Speaker 9: we get the question of hey, where do you go
Speaker 9: on the off season, Well, we live in Buffalo. Love this,
Speaker 9: We're members of the community and we love it there.
Speaker 9: So I think that's the real part of being in
Speaker 9: Buffalo and being the head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 2: So cool.
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott, thank you, big season ahead, big a couple
Speaker 3: of weeks ahead.
Speaker 2: Good luck and as always, we appreciate you coming on
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 4: I love being with you.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 10: Good morning football, Good morning football.
Speaker 3: Now it's time for twenty twenty five, and let's get
Speaker 3: started with the top ten combined prospects going into the combine.
Speaker 2: It's my list.
Speaker 3: There are plenty of others out there. Take with this
Speaker 3: what you will, but let's get excited about some of
Speaker 3: these guys. And let's go to Ann Arbor for number ten,
Speaker 3: guy who missed a bunch of games this year but
Speaker 3: still is viewed as one of the top defensive backs
Speaker 3: to come out of the college game in quite some time.
Speaker 3: It's number ten Michigan defensive back Will Johnson. Will Johnson
Speaker 3: has that size guys six foot two, two hundred and
Speaker 3: five pounds, has the range, and in their national title
Speaker 3: season in twenty twenty three, was first team All Big
Speaker 3: Ten Conference. A dominant player. Where's that Charles Woodson number two?
Speaker 3: The ultimate compliment for a Michigan corner. Has the size,
Speaker 3: has the ability. Missed a bunch of games this year,
Speaker 3: so there are some questions on that it's he's going
Speaker 3: to be the same player he was in twenty twenty
Speaker 3: three as he would be in twenty twenty five. The answers, Yes,
Speaker 3: he was a freshman and he was the Big ten
Speaker 3: freshman player that he was All American.
Speaker 2: As a freshman.
Speaker 3: Goes On has the national title in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3: Last year, plays in Wink Martindale's all out blitz defense
Speaker 3: where he was the man to watch out in the backfield.
Speaker 3: Will Johnson has the physical build and he's been one
Speaker 3: of these guys since the second he walked on campus
Speaker 3: in Ann Arbor that everybody has been talking.
Speaker 2: About as the next dude. He is number ten on
Speaker 2: the list.
Speaker 3: Look for him to go in the first round, of course,
Speaker 3: in April's draft. Number nine, I'm staying in ann Arbor
Speaker 3: and I'm going with another player out of the University
Speaker 3: of Michigan.
Speaker 2: Number nine is tight end Colston Loveland.
Speaker 3: If you want to talk about the different types of
Speaker 3: body shapes and body forms, different types of players that
Speaker 3: we get at tight end, there are guys who are
Speaker 3: more like Grunk in this draft, and then there's Colston Loveland,
Speaker 3: who I think as complimentary a high bar as you
Speaker 3: can set. Is compared to Travis Kelcey in the way
Speaker 3: that they use him and the way that he can move.
Speaker 3: Brock Bauers as well, more of a receiving tight end.
Speaker 3: Six foot five, two hundred and forty five pounds, runs.
Speaker 2: And moves like a receiver.
Speaker 3: There's a guy who led the team with fifty six catches,
Speaker 3: five hundred and eighty two receiving yards and five touchdowns
Speaker 3: this year and miss time as well due to injury.
Speaker 3: First team All Big Ten last year, and is one
Speaker 3: of those players that you circle when you're talking about.
Speaker 2: The next level.
Speaker 3: We're now at ten and nine and they both are
Speaker 3: out of the same school. How about we go for
Speaker 3: a rapid departure from cold and Arbor and go to
Speaker 3: Sonny Tucson for number eight. I am higher on this
Speaker 3: player than I think any of my fellow.
Speaker 2: Draft pundits are. But my number eight.
Speaker 3: Prospect is Arizona wide receiver Tatoroa McMillan. I'm gonna call
Speaker 3: him t mac and he is out of Hawaii, and
Speaker 3: I am sure my boy Mantai Teo has a little
Speaker 3: knowledge on this guy. First Team All American, first Team
Speaker 3: All Big twelve, and he has set a school record
Speaker 3: with three thousand, four hundred and twenty three career receiving yards.
Speaker 3: He is my number one wide receiver in this draft.
Speaker 3: He is six foot five, two hundred and fifteen pounds.
Speaker 3: I watched this guy these late night games going up
Speaker 3: here against Kansas State, and of course what he was
Speaker 3: doing before that when they were in the Pac twelve.
Speaker 3: This is a player that has been over different coaching stats,
Speaker 3: started with Jed Fish and of course.
Speaker 2: Has been there now the last year with a.
Speaker 3: Different coaching step and has just always produced.
Speaker 2: Reminds me of Drake London.
Speaker 3: That is the body size, six foot five basketball body,
Speaker 3: can get everything and was playing on an Arizona team
Speaker 3: that surprised a lot of folks in twenty twenty three,
Speaker 3: and then he still had a big year in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four. That's ten, nine to eight, number seven. I
Speaker 3: know he might go first overall, but cam Ward is
Speaker 3: my seventh overall prospect in this draft.
Speaker 4: I'll tell it like.
Speaker 2: It is, folks.
Speaker 3: This is not a draft where the quarterbacks are one
Speaker 3: through five.
Speaker 2: As far as prospects.
Speaker 3: Go, there are far better depth and talent at the
Speaker 3: defensive line, at the tight end spot, and guess what
Speaker 3: the running back spot this year. So cam Ward he
Speaker 3: might go first or second overall, but coming into this thing,
Speaker 3: I've got him as my seventh best prospect.
Speaker 2: Loved watching him.
Speaker 3: At Washington State and of course when he transfers over
Speaker 3: to Miami and did the things he did last.
Speaker 2: Year, set an NCAA record with.
Speaker 3: One hundred and fifty eight passing touchdowns in his career
Speaker 3: over three different schools. Started at Incarnate Word, went to
Speaker 3: Washington State where he was a standout, and then came
Speaker 3: into Miami as a one year guy and absolutely blew
Speaker 3: everybody away. Led FBS with thirty nine passing touchdowns last year,
Speaker 3: the most ever by a Miami Hurricane in a season,
Speaker 3: and of course was the acc Player of the Year,
Speaker 3: great kid as well. But if I'm gonna be honest,
Speaker 3: I don't know if cam Ward is in the same
Speaker 3: conversation as a Caleb Williams. I don't know if cam
Speaker 3: Ward's in the same conversation as a Jaden Daniels. I
Speaker 3: don't know if he's in the same conversation as a
Speaker 3: Drake may As they were entering the league last year.
Speaker 2: Of course Bo Nicks.
Speaker 3: And Michael Pennix would both get time, and JJ McCarthy's
Speaker 3: going to play as well. I was asked recently where
Speaker 3: I have cam Ward if he was coming out last year, said,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure he's in that top tier. Probably in
Speaker 3: that next year, but I'm not even sure about that.
Speaker 3: So cam Ward great prospect. We'll be an NFL starter
Speaker 3: next year and will be a top five, top ten pick,
Speaker 3: no doubt. But I've got him at seven, not as
Speaker 3: number one in this prospect list, number six.
Speaker 2: I go defense again, and I go.
Speaker 3: To a place where it's been an absolute factory of
Speaker 3: pass rushing talent.
Speaker 2: That is Georgia, and that is Jalen Walker, who.
Speaker 3: This year won the Buckets Award for the best linebacker
Speaker 3: in all the Land.
Speaker 2: He looks to part.
Speaker 3: He's everything on that defense. He's everywhere on that defense.
Speaker 3: It was a third team All American but led the
Speaker 3: team with ten and a half tackles for a loss,
Speaker 3: led the team with five sacks.
Speaker 2: But here's the thing, this is last year. He was
Speaker 2: a bench player last year.
Speaker 3: So his big year came this season where he popped
Speaker 3: off the screen and was all over the place.
Speaker 2: I've got him as number six on.
Speaker 3: This list, and guys, he was a reserve in twenty
Speaker 3: twenty three.
Speaker 2: Think about all these.
Speaker 3: Different Georgia pass rushers over the last several years.
Speaker 2: Obviously, the Eagles.
Speaker 3: Have about a dozen of them, and Nolan Smith and
Speaker 3: Jordan Davis and of course Jalen Carter and Nakobe Dean,
Speaker 3: all those guys in the front seven. But Green Bay
Speaker 3: has a couple also with Kway Walker and what they've
Speaker 3: got up front there with Wyatt, Like this has become
Speaker 3: a factory. And if there's one thing you can say
Speaker 3: you can trust these Georgia pass rushers, you can trust
Speaker 3: these Georgia front seven guys. They come in and they
Speaker 3: make an impact in the league. Jalen Walker is not
Speaker 3: listed as like a top five pick on any other
Speaker 3: mock drafts, but I got him as number six right
Speaker 3: now going into the combine. I think he's going to
Speaker 3: be an outstanding performer and I think his stock will rise,
Speaker 3: both the pedigree and the performance.
Speaker 2: This is not everybody's less. It's different than the.
Speaker 3: Herd mentality is I always say I don't always have
Speaker 3: what everyone else has.
Speaker 2: No, there's no glory and.
Speaker 3: Copying someone's mock draft and saying here's is it.
Speaker 2: From calls and some discussions.
Speaker 3: Going into the combine and they're my guys, here are six, seven, eight, nine,
Speaker 3: and ten.
Speaker 2: Of course today we're going to go five through one.
Speaker 3: And we had two Michigan men at ten and nine yesterday.
Speaker 3: How about another Michigan man at number five. Mason Graham
Speaker 3: is the number five prospect for me going into this
Speaker 3: combine week. Mason Graham wearing number fifty five, just like
Speaker 3: Brandon Graham out of Michigan. But this guy's on the
Speaker 3: inside of the defensive line and one of the top
Speaker 3: players in all of college football. Had a career year
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three when they won the national type.
Speaker 2: He started thirteen.
Speaker 3: Games for the national championship team and then followed it
Speaker 3: up by being a first team All American this year,
Speaker 3: two time First Team Big Ten Conference, and dominant inside.
Speaker 3: Now there's been critiques about his body. Does he have
Speaker 3: long enough armed?
Speaker 2: I don't want to hear it.
Speaker 3: He dominated the Big Ten, dominated the Big Ten. He
Speaker 3: is a top five pick and I wouldn't be shocked
Speaker 3: if he goes even higher than that. From a personal note,
Speaker 3: our show has a connection to him. He went to
Speaker 3: the same high school as te Mack, who was the
Speaker 3: wide receiver at of Arizona. They both could go in
Speaker 3: the top ten. If you're talking about two guys who
Speaker 3: went into high school together and they went to a
Speaker 3: school out there in Anaheim. Now, guess what our researcher
Speaker 3: on the show, Blake Blake, was a math teacher at
Speaker 3: this school when they were both there at the same
Speaker 3: time in Anaheim. So I love that team, Mac Mason
Speaker 3: Graham and of course our guy Blake in research the
Speaker 3: school itself. Let me get on the phone here because
Speaker 3: I gotta give it love. I'm here, I am, I'm
Speaker 3: trying to do all this stuff. It is call and
Speaker 3: at the school here, Servite High School.
Speaker 2: We see you Servite in Anaheim.
Speaker 3: Churning out NFL content and churning out, churning out NFL.
Speaker 2: Research gods, our guy blink. So there we go. That's
Speaker 2: number five. Yeah, number four. We go to Boise.
Speaker 3: State, where I think Ashton gent is one of the
Speaker 3: top running backs in this draft and will obviously be a.
Speaker 2: First round pick, number two in the Heisman this year.
Speaker 3: Did it all at Boise A product, of course, out
Speaker 3: of Florida. He's a Jacksonvin, Florida kid, five foot nine,
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifteen pounds, won the Dope Walker Awards,
Speaker 3: a nation's top running back.
Speaker 2: Why see led college football?
Speaker 3: We get this number, guys, twenty six one hundred rushing
Speaker 3: yards in one season.
Speaker 2: Twenty six rushing.
Speaker 3: Yards in one season, and that's major college football.
Speaker 2: That's not Division three, that's not Division one.
Speaker 3: Double as, two time AP All American, and he's two
Speaker 3: time Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Year.
Speaker 2: The size is the speed. He's got it all.
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, he's already said he's not going to work out
Speaker 3: at the combine. But if you watched him do any
Speaker 3: of the stuff he did at the Super Bowl, he
Speaker 3: did a lot of media. He is a big personality
Speaker 3: and he is very confident that he can bring it
Speaker 3: to the next level. I have seen some teams tell me.
Speaker 3: I've had conversations like he might just be the best
Speaker 3: player in this draft.
Speaker 2: It's a running backs.
Speaker 3: We're not sure where that goes, but I've got him
Speaker 3: at four on this list. Number three is my favorite
Speaker 3: player to watch in all of college football this past season.
Speaker 3: He's out of Penn State. He's the tight end who
Speaker 3: has number forty four. Mister Tyler Warren. If you watch
Speaker 3: any of these Penn State games, this guy does it all.
Speaker 3: He was a high school quarterback who plays HVAC and
Speaker 3: plays tight end, and he's an absolute machine. He's got
Speaker 3: a Mechanicsville Virginia finish seventh in the Heisman this year.
Speaker 3: That is the highest a tight end has finished since
Speaker 3: Notre Dames Ken McAfee finished third in nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 3: He was the do it all player on this Penn
Speaker 3: State offense. Won the John mckew Award as the nation's
Speaker 3: top tight end. Was tied for second in all of
Speaker 3: college football, not amongst tight ends among all players with
Speaker 3: one hundred and four catches, First Team All Big Ten,
Speaker 3: Fiesta Bowl MVP, where he had two touchdowns and six catches,
Speaker 3: and of course, was that dominant force in that Penn
Speaker 3: State offense. Kyle Brant likes to do angry runs like
Speaker 3: this guy might win it every single week.
Speaker 2: Plays with a fury out there.
Speaker 3: Again a high school quarterback, so he's a superior athlete
Speaker 3: both up at Penn State.
Speaker 2: Where's that sea on his chest? As a captain. Unbelievable player,
Speaker 2: ty Warren.
Speaker 3: I think he might go as high as top five.
Speaker 3: He will not escape the top ten. We already had Lovelies,
Speaker 3: the one tight end aut of Michigan. I've got another
Speaker 3: tight end in Warren, and he's as high as number three.
Speaker 3: I've got a friend, my friend Eric Zip, who sees
Speaker 3: all this football. Two years ago. He put me on
Speaker 3: to Tyler Warren. Have been watching this guy for the
Speaker 3: last two seasons and he has gotten better and better
Speaker 3: and better. We'll see where he goes in the draft,
Speaker 3: which leaves two players left. And I think these two
Speaker 3: players have been batted around as the.
Speaker 2: Top two non quarterbacks in this draft.
Speaker 3: Number two, I've got Tyler Warren's teammate at of Penn State.
Speaker 3: It's for Abdul Carter. Abdul Carter did it all for
Speaker 3: Penn State this year. And what a lot of teams
Speaker 3: love was that he did it ball while he was
Speaker 3: hurt in the biggest of games. Yes, Abduall Carter, of course,
Speaker 3: he comes out of this thing, and you look at
Speaker 3: what he did at penn State.
Speaker 2: The numbers tell the story.
Speaker 3: He led all of college football with twenty three and
Speaker 3: a half tackles for a loss. He was the Big
Speaker 3: Ten Conference defensive player of the Year All American six three,
Speaker 3: two hundred and fifty two pounds out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Speaker 3: gets hurt in that last semifinal game against Notre Dame
Speaker 3: and still found a way to dominate that game.
Speaker 2: Anti Tao, I know you were watching it. Number eleven
Speaker 2: was all over the field.
Speaker 3: Many people believe he'll be the first pick in this
Speaker 3: Abdul Carter will just go number one to Tennessee.
Speaker 2: You call it like that. It's easy. He's your Miles Garrett,
Speaker 2: he's your TJ. Watt.
Speaker 3: You put him in there, You're set for the next
Speaker 3: ten years. He is that good of a prospect. I've
Speaker 3: got him number two on my list because for number
Speaker 3: one coming into the NFL Draft and coming into the combine,
Speaker 3: I've got to go with the player that I watched
Speaker 3: every single week the past two seasons, and I watched
Speaker 3: him dominate on both sides of the field. I've got
Speaker 3: Travis Hunter as my number one prospect out of Colorado.
Speaker 3: Played corner, played a wide receiver, and he won the
Speaker 3: Heisman this year. I just don't think there's another player
Speaker 3: like him that we have seen in college football in
Speaker 3: some time. I actually don't think I in my lifetime
Speaker 3: i've seen a player do it as much as he
Speaker 3: did on both sides of the ball.
Speaker 2: You're talking about a guy who plays one hundred and
Speaker 2: twenty snaps a game.
Speaker 3: And doesn't get hurt, doesn't complain, doesn't demand the ball,
Speaker 3: and was an elite wide receiver, and was.
Speaker 2: An elite defensive back.
Speaker 3: The fact that we are already here at the Combine
Speaker 3: and there are still teams split on how they would
Speaker 3: use him tell you just how special a play he is.
Speaker 3: Travis Hunter six' one one to Ninety Heisman trophy, winner
Speaker 3: two Time First Team All. American he was The big
Speaker 3: Twelve Defensive player of The year this, year but he
Speaker 3: was also a first Team All big twelve wide. Receiver
Speaker 3: he averaged one hundred and twelve snaps per game last.
Speaker 3: Year and this year you're talking about the rarest of.
Speaker 3: Breeds you're talking about a pure, unicorn and to, me
Speaker 3: the best player in college football and the best football.
Speaker 2: Player entering this combine.
Speaker 3: Period, NOW i don't know if he's working out at defensive,
