1 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,000 Speaker 1: Welcome to playmakers. Coming to you from the twenty twenty 2 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: NFL Scouting Combine here in Indianapolis. I'm Haley Ellwood and 3 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: joining me today is ESPN's Wendy Nicks. Wendy, how are you. 4 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:24,120 Speaker 1: I'm good, A little sleep deprived, yeah right, but I'm 5 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 1: really I'm really well. It's been a good week. Yeah. 6 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: What is this week like for you? You You know what it's? Um, well, 7 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: I commute. First of all, I commute when I'm at 8 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,600 Speaker 1: ESPN two hours each way, so that's four that's four 9 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:35,120 Speaker 1: hours of my day. I get back when I'm on 10 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: the road, so it's it's actually easier for me to 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: be away. Um. You know, it's a great week for 12 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,880 Speaker 1: us because obviously we do NFL live live from here, 13 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: an unlike a normal day in the off season, we 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: have such great access to coaches and players and you know, 15 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: guys who are willing to stop by and talk. It 16 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: just makes it a lot more fun, you know when 17 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: instead of talking about Mike McCarthy, you talked to Mike 18 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: McCarthy or Matt Naggie or whomever it might be. So 19 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: it's a busy week, but it's it's well laid out 20 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,959 Speaker 1: it's fun. It's a lot of fun ex. So part 21 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: of this week is really build as the ultimate job 22 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: interview for the players who were here. You've obviously covered combines, 23 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: you covered the draft as well. How cool is it 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: to see, though those young guys start out their pro 25 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: careers here and then go on to have careers in 26 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 1: the league. Well, it's interesting because I covered college football 27 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: for so long, So for a while it was watching 28 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: them even as like freshman college. You know, mark Ingram. 29 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: We're still good friends because you know, I covered him 30 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: all through Alabama and then he won the Heisman. Now 31 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 1: he's gone on to have a great pro career. So 32 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: now I don't see them as much in college. I 33 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: get to know them here a little bit. And look, 34 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: I think the NFL's great. I don't think we hear 35 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: enough with the positive stories, you know. I mean, there's 36 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: bad ex in every bunch, but there are so many 37 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: great people, and so it is fun to see the start. 38 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: I still get a kick out of Tom Brady's Combine 39 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: picture and yeah, you know how that started, and you 40 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: think that was twenty years ago and what he's become. 41 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: It's just and somebody looks that will be somebody again, Yeah, 42 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know when, maybe not Tom Brady, 43 00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: but there'll be a story like that. And so you 44 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: don't you don't know who, which is really cool as 45 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: you get to know people. So we're here. Obviously, the 46 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: draft is in a couple of months. It's really the 47 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: off season. But it never stops. No, it really never 48 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 1: stopped for me. Like after the super Bowl you think 49 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: you're like, okay, so well I can breathe. But it's 50 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,239 Speaker 1: almost busier between the Combine and getting ready for the 51 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: Draft because because the draft airs on the ESPN, we 52 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: have so much program and geared up until the draft. 53 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: After that it slows down. But no, it people cannot 54 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 1: get enough of this stuff and which is a good 55 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: problem obviously and the draft, but it uh. People ask me, 56 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: who don't follow the NFL, it's closely what do you do? 57 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: You know, what do you work during the off season? 58 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: But yeah, what does it become. It's a Monday there, 59 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: Friday show and it goes year round and you know, 60 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: clearly there's those days in June and July that slowed 61 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: down and we take time, but it doesn't stop. What 62 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,799 Speaker 1: is it though about the NFL that makes it so 63 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: captivating that it's turned into just a year round storyline sport. Look, 64 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: I you know, my dad's a football coach, or was 65 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 1: before he retired, and I grew up with football. I 66 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: love it. I mean I really do. And that is 67 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: one thing that hasn't changed after twenty plus years of 68 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: doing this. I think my views on a lot of 69 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 1: things and my you know, sometimes you don't want to 70 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: be on TV and sometimes you feel like writing, and 71 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: but the one constant has been how much I appreciate 72 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: the NFL. I think it's a great game. I think 73 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: it's intriguing. I do it's cheesy, but I think it's 74 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: the ultimate reality show. And I think people, you know, 75 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: I still believe it has a pivotal place in our 76 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: culture and it brings a lot to a lot of people. 77 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: What is it like working the draft ka Scout? Yeah, yeah, 78 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: I feel like the draft. I don't know, drafts even 79 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: busier than the combine anything, because the combine is scheduled, 80 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: you know, and you know when workouts are no where 81 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: meetings are. The draft, especially once you're on the clock. 82 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: I mean you can do every mock draft. You could 83 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: do one every day between now and the draft. It 84 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 1: is never going to be and it doesn't really matter, right, 85 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: So once that first pick is made, it's it's all 86 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 1: bet for off. So it's a lot I think in 87 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: a lot of ways, a lot more preparation goes into 88 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: it because you have to prepare for so many different scenarios. 89 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: But again, when we go there for NFL Live, it's 90 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: fun because a live audience and there's an energy. Last 91 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: year in Natural it's incredible. Yeah, it was incredible, I 92 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: think because I couldn't hear anybody, but I'm pretty sure 93 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: it was a good thing, just because the crowd, especially 94 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: on I guess it was Thursday, was so insane in 95 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: the best possible way, which is I'm super cool. Yeah, 96 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: it's really cool. I think it's impossible then to not 97 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 1: have energy, right, Yeah, you hope you have it anyway, 98 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: but if for whatever reason you're not feeling it, there's 99 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 1: just too much sort of peripheral energy and excitement not 100 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: to tap into that. Well you look at the combine, 101 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: it's in primetime. Yeah, we were talking about that driving over, like, 102 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: I mean, that's incredible. Not to discount what they're doing, 103 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: but I mean these are these are you know, soon 104 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: to be pros running around in shorts, right, and it 105 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: will be must CTV, which that a if you if 106 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: you think the NFL has waned, And there was that 107 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: time a few years ago and we said, oh, no, 108 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: ratings are down, no one's watching the NFL, and this, 109 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: that and the other thing, which I never really believed anyway, 110 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: But if you did, then I offer up tonight as 111 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: exhibit a that it's not changing. Yeah, the entire schedule 112 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: changed this week to accommodate. People will watch, and it 113 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: will be on in bars tonight and it will be 114 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: on in restaurants, and it's it's a sort of mind boggling. 115 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: So in speaking of watching, female viewership for NFL games 116 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: was up five percent from eighteen to nineteen. Why do 117 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: you think that is? You know, it's interesting. I really 118 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: don't know, except that I do think we're doing a 119 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: better job of explaining the game. I mean, I understand 120 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 1: people not watching if you don't have a clue what's happening. 121 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: I mean, who wants I'm trying to think of a 122 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,359 Speaker 1: sport where I really m field hockey pers I mean, 123 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: I think it seems like great sport, but I don't 124 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 1: really know the ins and outs of the rules, like 125 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: I don't know that how fascinated i'd be to watch 126 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: field hockey because I don't understand. Yeah, and even European football, 127 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: out of respect to them, soccer, you know, I didn't 128 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: grow up with it as much and I've learned a lot, 129 00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: but it does it's harder for me because I have 130 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: to pay attention in a different way. And so I 131 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: think we are teaching more about football, and once you 132 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: understand it, that whole chet smatch aspect of it is 133 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: intriguing and I think that doesn't have anything to do 134 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: whether you're a man or a woman. So that's one guest. 135 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 1: But I don't and I love it. I don't know 136 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,599 Speaker 1: why exactly. I hope it continues. Yeah, my daughter's love football. 137 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: They're twelve and ten, which is great. Yeah. I mean 138 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: my oldest LA fantasy football for the first time. And 139 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 1: I mean we actually had to take her phone away 140 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: because she got so obsessed and she she got kicked 141 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 1: out of the playoffs and of Travis Kelsey touchdown, and 142 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: she threw her phone. So we had to wed like 143 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: we're taking it, we have to, we have to pull 144 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 1: that in just a little bit. But it was crazy. 145 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: So when you look at ESPN. The network really does 146 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: a great job of highlighting women across their shows. Obviously 147 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: you hosting NFL Live, especially with studio shows, but how 148 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: special is it to, you know, be part of a 149 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: place like that. You know, I've had a really good 150 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: experience there, so I somebody asked me the other day 151 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 1: and August will be it's either fourteen or fifteen years. 152 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: I've lost track. It went quick. Time flies when you're 153 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: having time flies, and you know, I have, in all honesty, 154 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 1: felt supported. I felt like I've been giving an additional 155 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 1: opportunity when it was warranted. And again, I'm not sure 156 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: this is part of necessarily specific to being a woman, 157 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: but I think we have really talented people and I 158 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: like being a part of that whole team. I really. 159 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: I think if and when things change, and they always do, 160 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: that's what I will miss. It's just there are people 161 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: that I really respect doing cool things and it's fun 162 00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 1: to be around. What do you enjoy about hosting it? 163 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: What will I enjoy the stories? You know, that's I 164 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: was a reporter for seven or eight years before I 165 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: moved into hosting, and I, as a kid, love to 166 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: tell stories and sort of be the eyes and ears 167 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 1: for people who couldn't be there. And I still love that. 168 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 1: I love I love the stories, and I mean I 169 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: like to argue, so I guess I never mind the debate. 170 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 1: But what I really like is highlighting some of the 171 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: great stuff that's going on on and off the field 172 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: when you work with so many really cool analysts, a 173 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: lot of former players. But what is it like getting 174 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: a lot of debates? Not leave that out. Yeah, but 175 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: what's it like getting to work with those guys? Oh, 176 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: it's like being a babysitter. Yeah, that's what it's like. 177 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: If it didn't, who's a babysitter? Yeah? I know, it's uh, Look, 178 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: everybody is different. I will say this in all seriousness 179 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: that part of the job, in my opinion, is to 180 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: read people, um, to read what they need to succeed, 181 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: the way they like to be approached and set up. 182 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: And and it is different for everybody. Sure, it's different 183 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: for me than you, you know, And it's just a 184 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: different way to do it with each person. And so 185 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of the energy in my 186 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: day is just sort of figuring out who who's with us, 187 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,200 Speaker 1: what the chemistry is like with that particular group. Since 188 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: to your point. It's not the same group every day, 189 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: which I think is good, but it does pose different challenges. Um, 190 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: So just kind of reading the group and where we 191 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: need to go and how to best get there. So 192 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, the Chargers announce of Philip 193 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: Rivers would not be back for the twenty twenty season. 194 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 1: But when you get big news stories like that, how 195 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: does it affect your day? Depending on the timing. I 196 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: mean there are because right now we're on a little 197 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: bit earlier. You know, there are days when that happens 198 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: almost in real time as we're starting the show, and 199 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,320 Speaker 1: so we go into the show with a plan. If 200 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,559 Speaker 1: something like that happens, that plans out the door. It's 201 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 1: my favorite days, to be honest, and everybody's different. Some 202 00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 1: people love that, some people very much prefer it to 203 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: be scripted. I my favorite days or when I can 204 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:32,280 Speaker 1: throw that thing away. Yeah, it makes everyone else crazy 205 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: because I'll just ramble, but you know, it changes the 206 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: day in that there is no plan. Yeah, you know, 207 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: I will say that it's those days that understanding the 208 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 1: subject matter in general is paramount, because if you don't 209 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: know the background of Philip Rivers, if you don't understand. 210 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: You know how long he's been with the Chargers and 211 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: what he's done, and what his family life is like, 212 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: and you know all of those things. Then talking about 213 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: it in an instant when you didn't plan to, it's problematic. Sure, 214 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: so I'm kind of having you and you're not going 215 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: to know everything about every player. I'm not suggesting that, 216 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: but really kind of having a macro view on the 217 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 1: big storylines all the time. So then lastly, Wendy Chargers 218 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: have the sixth overall, Picky, have any thoughts of what 219 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: they should do too? You know, we we were lucky enough. 220 00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: First of all, let me say a big shout out 221 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: to coach Anthony Land. He's one of my favorite. He's great. 222 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: I'm lobbying to go to Africa with him. I want 223 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 1: to go. Well, I know, I know, I said I 224 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: leave the cameras at home if he would let me go. 225 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: I will say he was relatively convincing talking about his 226 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 1: quarterback situation and feeling a bit more confident with it 227 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: than I would have anticipated. So I would have said 228 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: quarterback before I came out here. You know, I'm not sure. 229 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: Are they gonna have to look long and hard? Um? 230 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: Because there will be a lot of talent at that 231 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 1: sixth pick, clearly, um. And then you got you got 232 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: teams who may trade up ahead of them for quarterbacks, 233 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 1: so that could leave some real talent out there. So 234 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: I mean again, I would have said some sort of 235 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: quarterback situation, but I don't. I don't know. I didn't. 236 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: I didn't get that sense. But we'll see, we'll see. 237 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,000 Speaker 1: It's exciting time, it is, it's fun. Well, Wendy, thank 238 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: you so much for joining me. We will see you 239 00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 1: in Vegas, Yo. That doesn't that sound funny, Yes, you will. 240 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 1: Thanks so much. Have a good one. Thank you.
