Everybody is affiliated in the NFL somehow, 0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.800 and I always forget it because I'm in an elevator, 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.520 I just arrived, got my bag, and and someone's in 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.200 the elevator with me doesn't have any team gear on 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:05.120 or anything. Yeah, and he goes, so you like Golden, huh? 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:10.400 And my first thought was like, Okay, there's the auction 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:12.560 company like Ken Golden, who does like. 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.680 The and I'm to sell? 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.840 And I was just like, I just like confused, like 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.960 excuse me. He's like Golden, You like you had him 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.400 twenty four And I'm like, oh, yeah, the Texas wide receiver. 0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:24.600 Yeah, yeah, No, I do like Golden. 0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.160 He's a good player. But it's just every conversation everybody 0:02:27.240 --> 0:02:28.800 run into its football football football. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:29.160 Yeah. 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.880 And it's also, you know, like you're doing top fifty work, 0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.200 you're also trying to get familiar with all these players. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:37.320 We got one hundred and you know, thirty guys here 0:02:37.360 --> 0:02:39.480 at the Senior Bowl, and it is kind of like 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:42.840 drinking through a water hose or fire hose right these 0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.120 first couple of days. But then you know, like we'll 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:47.960 get the game on Saturday, and I think we'll kind 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:49.560 of put it all together, and that's kind of what 0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.160 we're judging now. It's like, all right, they want to 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.520 practice is in the books. You know, we can kind 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.520 of put that to bed and and you know, kind 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.960 of hope that we really see guys take off tomorrow. 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:01.320 But there were definitely some standouts here to begin on 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:01.959 the national. 0:03:01.800 --> 0:03:04.120 Side, Yeah, one hundred percent. Now it is it's always 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:05.519 a whirlwind this first day and then it kind of 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.320 settles in. You recognize the helmets, the numbers, and then 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.160 it comes a little bit easier. But you mentioned it, 0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:12.800 let's start with the national things that stood out there. 0:03:13.160 --> 0:03:17.120 Quarterback wise. You got Tyler Schuck and Dylan Gabriel, and 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.280 then give me Canada's last name, Taylor. 0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:22.960 Taylor elger Zma from Laurier University in Canada. 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:26.120 I don't think anybody blew us away from that quarterback group. 0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.079 Excited to watch a tape and we'll have more takeaways 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.400 as we go through the week on what the quarterbacks 0:03:30.440 --> 0:03:32.800 do look like. Did enjoy the visit though with Dylan 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:33.840 Gabriel afterwards? 0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:39.000 Yeah, Dylan's like just a really he kind of understands 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.520 his surroundings and I remember talking to him this summer 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:45.360 at the Manning camp, going into this his only year 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:48.520 at Oregon, and he was really trying to kind of 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.120 right some of the wrongs. He felt like you were 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:53.440 on him from the first time he transferred from UCF 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.920 to OU and felt like he was much more mature 0:03:55.920 --> 0:03:59.000 about it this time around, a real connector. We talked 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.360 about him, you know, having the minivan and bringing all 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.920 of his teammates together through that, piling them into the van, 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.520 you know, going on their dimetime retreats, and I think 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:10.440 you could see that, and I think I would imagine 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.200 by the end of the week we'll be talking about 0:04:12.640 --> 0:04:14.720 you know, Dylan Gabriel is a guy that brought the 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.360 national team guys together, at least on the offensive side 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:18.120 of the ball. 0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.120 Because that's the type of guy he is. And that 0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:20.320 was the. 0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:21.840 Vibe I think we got from him when we talked 0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:23.720 to him after practice too. It obviously the guy can 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:26.840 spin him with the left hand. Looks he's not prototypical 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.440 NFL size, So this is a great opportunity for him 0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:31.000 to kind of show that he can compete with the 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.880 best of the best in those type of scenarios. 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.040 I know, I think the game will be big for him. 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:38.440 And again everything real quick, RPO's ball comes out. That's 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:41.000 really his strength. All right, let's just go shotgun. We'll 0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.159 go back and forth players that stood out. I'm going 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:45.000 to start first of all. I don't know I even 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.839 had a better day than Grey's Abel from North Dakota State. 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.159 His first of all, he checked in. He was six 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:54.080 zho five three, three hundred and sixteen pounds, arms a 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.000 little bit shorter, thirty two and a quarter, which is 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.160 one of the reasons some people thought, Okay, well he's 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:02.279 going to go from tac to guard. Well not only 0:05:02.279 --> 0:05:04.640 to go tackle to guard today, but he went played 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.400 some tackle, played some guard, played some center, and I 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.080 don't know that he lost to rep the entire day. 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:10.039 I don't think he did. 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:12.400 And you know, one of the first things we talked 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:14.520 about in the open of our Senior Bowl shows today 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:17.640 was the strength of this defensive line group really kind 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.720 of overall in the draft class. And then so many 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.119 of those guys are here in Mobile at the Senior 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:23.880 Bowl that we kind of thought it was really just 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.400 going to be, you know, a showcase of domination. But 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:29.680 I thought the offensive line kind of overall on the 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.920 national team side really held their own. You talked about 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.359 Gray's abel, I think you could kind of say the 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:39.120 same for Ariantae Ersrie from Minnesota left tackle, had a 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:42.919 nice performance against Abdul Carter Penn State in the regular season. 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:44.120 Thought he was really. 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:46.800 Anthony Belton might have had one of the best days too. 0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:51.440 Who is the heaviest guy. He is a big man playing. 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.840 He played a little bit of tackle and interior for 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.240 the national team as well. I thought we saw some 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.479 good things from Jalen Travis from Miami moving up and down, 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.560 but Joonah Manheim might be I mean, where do we 0:06:04.600 --> 0:06:06.520 think he is on centers in this class? 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.839 Well, I think he's up there. You know, he got 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.479 moved around a little bit today, but he stayed attached 0:06:11.480 --> 0:06:13.599 and he lost slowly, So it wasn't like he got 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:15.120 bet right off the snap. He just did a really 0:06:15.160 --> 0:06:17.760 good job. Now, I just you get some heavy size, 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:20.239 which you'll see here in this game right over his nose. 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.479 He's gonna have a little bit tougher time just putting 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.320 the breaks down. But I think once you get in 0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.760 in eleven on eleven and he's got some neighbors, I 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:28.000 think he plays really well. 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:28.760 So I was. 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:30.880 I was a fan of what he did. A couple 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:34.120 other guys that we'll hit on here the tight end. 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:35.840 Oh yeah, because we just talked about that. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:36.440 Yeah, we can do that. 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.240 We can go over there. Look to me, Mike Green 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:42.200 was as advertised carrying his two hundred and fifty one 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.839 pounds from Marshall. He played it or he was measured 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.200 and weighed in the spring he was two hundred and 0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:49.440 thirty six pounds, so he's added a lot of weight 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.120 over the last you know, half a year, and he 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:55.719 carried it well. Today, had a bunch of wins. Zura 0:06:55.800 --> 0:06:59.320 k I get that right as a rocket by the end, 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.800 by Saturday, get it. Ez A raq I thought he's 0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.080 a little spin happy today. I like to see him 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:06.240 just win. Just went straight up, use your length, use 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:09.400 your power. He'll be able to, I think, be a 0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.600 little bit better as the week goes along. Josiah Stewart 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:15.240 still a fastball from Michigan. Off the edge. He was 0:07:15.280 --> 0:07:16.960 able to, you know, kind of win on the on 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:20.040 the edge with speed, So he had a nice day. 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:22.280 Anybody else from that group and there that jumped out to. 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.440 You, Yeah, definitely as far as like the edge guys, 0:07:25.480 --> 0:07:28.360 goes John Joyner. I think was was kind of you know, 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:30.800 Charles Davis kind of noticed him a couple of different times, 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.800 and we called his name a few times. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.000 Oli with femi Ola Dajo from UCLA kind of a 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:36.840 roller coaster day. 0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:38.680 He had some really good reps and then he had 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.600 some reps that show that he's played about nine games 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.640 at this position. So I think, you know, it's an 0:07:43.640 --> 0:07:46.920 intriguing prospect on that front, but still a guy that 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.960 was able to quit himself very well. And then josh Farmer, 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:52.680 you know, if we're talking about you know, Monheim, you know, 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.400 losing slowly, Joshua Farmer was winning slowly. 0:07:57.480 --> 0:08:00.840 Yeah, just steady push. He's just strong. He's a powerful, 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.440 powerful dude. So I was impressed with what we saw 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:07.080 from him. Black as well as man. He is enormous 0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.720 out of Iowa. Give me by the way that that's 0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:10.560 just so a. 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:13.520 Short Yeah, whya whye. 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.360 Why ye see see I got I'll get a bigger 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.520 print tomorrow so I can actually read this sheet. Anyways. Yeah, 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:21.360 Black is a he is a big, big dude. Let's 0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.280 get to what I think was the star of the 0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.679 show that's got the tight end position. Elijah a royo. 0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:30.040 I still want to say arroyo. I know, a royo. 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.160 Arroyo just sounds so short, stoppy. I kind of like 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.320 that from a baseball but a royo he was. He 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:39.040 was literally one of the top three players the entire day. 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.600 He's over six four six four four, so six four 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:43.560 and a half two hundred and fifty one pounds, And 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:45.840 when I watched him, put in my top fifty because 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.240 he's a stream a seam stretcher. He can really get 0:08:49.280 --> 0:08:51.160 down the seam, he can get over the top. He's 0:08:51.200 --> 0:08:53.880 got big time speed that showed up today, as well 0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:55.840 as a little route savvy to go along with it. 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:58.560 Yeah, I thought he was really impressive, and you know, 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:00.800 I like the athleticism they he showed. I mean, you 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:02.760 and I kind of both had visions of, you know, 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:06.120 watching him in an orange eighty jersey with the Miami helmet. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:08.480 We were like, it was a little bit of Jimmy 0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:10.480 Graham there, you know. But I don't know if he's 0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.320 got that kind of athleticism that was pretty unique, but 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.120 he's got This is a really good tight end group 0:09:17.160 --> 0:09:19.240 on both sides. We'll tell you about Mason Taylor and 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:21.520 the American team tight ends here in just a moment. 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.360 But Terrence Ferguson's a guy to watch from that group 0:09:24.600 --> 0:09:27.680 in the tight end spot. But look, I think, you know, 0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.400 one of the things that I'm really kind of interested 0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.760 in as we progress throughout the week is which. 0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:35.880 Wide receivers are going to separate themselves. 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:38.079 Because the only one to me that really separated today 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.559 was tes Tes Johnson. And that was not just kind 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:44.760 of an overall evaluation separation. That's what he was doing 0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:47.640 on the field was creating separation. That is one of 0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:50.079 his superpowers. You know, he sticks that foot in the 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:51.719 ground at the top of the route. You're gonna be 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:55.080 hard pressed to find a corner or whomever out there 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:56.960 that's going to try to be able to keep up 0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.000 with him. So I thought Dylan Gabriel's college teammate there 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.600 at Oregon, Tess Johnson, it was best in show at 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:05.240 the wide receiver spot on the national team. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.720 You could make a case Oregon had the best quarterback 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.040 day one, had the best receiver day one, and I 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:12.839 can make a strong argument they had the best off 0:10:12.880 --> 0:10:18.000 the ball linebacker day one. Bossa was all over the field. 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.920 Bossop sounds right that time. You know, big time Range 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.600 had a couple of nice pills. Not tackling out here, 0:10:23.679 --> 0:10:26.000 so just kind of pass him off and tag him off. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:30.120 But I thought instinct wise and energy wise was excellent 0:10:30.160 --> 0:10:30.520 from him. 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.720 Yeah, and I think we'll see him, you know, really 0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:35.480 pop once we kind of start unleashing a little bit 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.200 of that pad pop and when the you know, when 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.440 the full pads come on, and we'll see him, you know, 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.840 get after it with some of these running backs. Looking 0:10:41.840 --> 0:10:43.960 forward to seeing that as the week progresses. But Boss 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.440 is that alpha dog leader like that. He's gonna ace 0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:47.480 the interviews. 0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.160 Too, no doubt. Oh there you are. There's a look 0:10:49.200 --> 0:10:51.400 at the national team. We'll take a quick break, we'll 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.200 come back and we will knock out what we saw 0:10:53.240 --> 0:11:01.520 from the American team practice right after this. All right, right, 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:04.040 let's get to the American team in the afternoon, and 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.920 I will say, look, and the coaches even admitted after 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:08.760 the game when they were talking, a little bit of 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:11.400 a slow start for this group. Energy was not great, 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.079 pace was not great. Wasn't a great practice, to be 0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:16.000 totally honest with you, And then it picked up towards 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:16.280 the end. 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.319 Well, yeah, and I think, you know, Bubba Ventrone who 0:11:19.360 --> 0:11:21.720 as part of the coaching up program with the Senior 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:23.840 Bowl here is the special teams coordinator for the Cleveland 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.439 Browns in the head coaching role for the American team, 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:28.640 kind of noticed that himself and he was like, at 0:11:28.679 --> 0:11:30.920 the end, we got to finish this thing with some juice. 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.720 So he pulled down like the microphone from this from 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.800 the rafters as a boxing announcer like Michael Buffer would do, 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:40.600 and he started doing these kind of crazy introductions for 0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.360 the best on best competitive period. 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.280 So they had I'd say what five to ten. 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.080 Reps where he called out guys you know that played 0:11:48.080 --> 0:11:50.480 really well in this first practice and had them go 0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.480 again in front of the entire team, in front of 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:54.280 the entire stadium, and I kind. 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.520 Of everybody's watching this rep. 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.560 Type of moment. A couple of guys really stood out 0:11:58.840 --> 0:12:01.120 in those moments. To Carson Benson was one of those 0:12:01.160 --> 0:12:03.800 guys the the Alabama A and M tackle who stood 0:12:03.840 --> 0:12:06.520 up Shamar Stewart. We'll talk about both those guys, but 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:08.000 but yeah, it did kind of echo your point on 0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.000 the energy. It didn't really pick up to the end, 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:12.320 like to see them start with that type of energy 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:13.560 as we get into Wednesday. 0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:17.040 Yeah, and you look at the quarterbacks. Mcmilroe was a 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:21.480 little inconsistent accuracy wise. Jackson Dart I would say was 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.360 was solid, was steady, but didn't really see the you know, 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.199 the big arm that you're hoping to see. That's the 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:29.320 question mark on him. Riley Leonard a little up and down. 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.280 That's kind of what you're gonna get there. But you're 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:33.600 gonna see, you know, him at his best probably when 0:12:33.600 --> 0:12:36.800 we get to game day and again some again, just 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:39.320 some some inconsistencies, some up and down, a little bit 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.640 late out to the perimeter on a couple of throws. 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:44.080 But uh, you know, hopefully we see a little bit 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:46.800 more from that quarterback group tomorrow. Where do you want 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:47.320 to go next? 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:49.600 Yeah, let's just stay on the offensive side of the ball, 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:51.959 because you know, I think we can't bury the lead here. 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.160 The best player of the day on the American team 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:56.719 was Mason Taylor, you know from LSU, And you know, 0:12:56.760 --> 0:13:00.199 I think he's a guy obviously, Jason Taylor, Hall of 0:13:00.240 --> 0:13:03.400 Fame dad, you know there and got to he was 0:13:03.400 --> 0:13:06.079 actually using his cell phone there to try and I 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:07.360 don't know why why he felt like. 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:11.000 He needed to, yeah, to watch our broadcast exactly. But 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.040 I thought I thought he was as advertised. You've got 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:17.000 him in your top fifty high up there for a 0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:17.560 good reason. 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.640 He was one of those guys that really kind of 0:13:19.679 --> 0:13:22.000 showed up to the level of play you'd expected from it. 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:25.360 Yeah, everything, And I thought the interview with Jason was 0:13:25.400 --> 0:13:27.800 excellent because he just kept using the word natural, natural, 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.040 And I think sometimes people hear that word and they 0:13:30.360 --> 0:13:32.360 it's almost like it can be a code word for 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.320 some people and they think, oh, he doesn't work hard. 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:36.040 It comes easy to him, and it's like no, no, no. 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.720 Some people were put on this earth to do certain things. 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.360 Jason Taylor was put on this earth to rush the quarterback. 0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:44.360 And he would readily admit he's a natural pass rusher. 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.960 His son is a natural pass catcher, and that showed 0:13:47.960 --> 0:13:50.640 out through the first day. Let's go through the rest 0:13:50.640 --> 0:13:51.640 of these what stood out. 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.080 Yeah, I don't know that we had a real state. 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:55.360 It wasn't a great practice. 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.000 Yeah, Jack Besh had one of the other catches of 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:02.240 the day, kind of contested catch ball that he had today, 0:14:02.280 --> 0:14:05.400 So I would say he was pretty good from the 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:07.720 wide receiver group. And then as you get to the 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.439 offensive line group. Let to be honest, they struggled a 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.760 little bit, and armand Membu, the highest graded player that 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:17.600 you have and that you put in your mock draft 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.480 from this game was unavailable to go. Today's dealing with 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:21.960 the stomach illness and who knows. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:23.520 Whether we're gonna I do he's done? 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.520 Yeah, Okay there, yeah, he's he's gonna. Like that's hard. 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.520 Who knows how much weighty loss? And you got all that. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.560 Well, the other side of it is do you want 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:34.160 do you want him here getting potentially others sick as well? 0:14:34.200 --> 0:14:36.720 That that's a that's a big, a big part of it. 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:40.680 So but I kind of thought Carson Vincent from Alabama 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:41.840 A and M, you know, one of. 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:43.840 Our HBCU he hung in there. 0:14:44.200 --> 0:14:46.240 I thought he did a really nice job, especially as 0:14:46.280 --> 0:14:48.520 I mentioned at the end against a guy who was 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:51.440 arguably best in show on the defensive side and Shamar Stewart, 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.800 So I thought, you know, he was really good looking 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.960 at the interior offensive lineman Clay Webb, I thought from 0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.560 Jacksonville State, who was a very highly recruited player, I 0:15:01.560 --> 0:15:04.240 think a five star player, went to Georgia and transferred 0:15:04.240 --> 0:15:06.640 to Jacksonville State. I thought he was maybe the best 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.880 of the interior guys that played out there today. 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:10.880 Yeah, he got one of those big wins at the 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:14.200 end of practice. So it's cool to see those competition periods. 0:15:14.400 --> 0:15:16.720 We go to the other side of the ball defensive 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:19.880 line wise. When you look at this group, I mean, 0:15:20.360 --> 0:15:23.880 you can make a case that Walter Nolan in terms 0:15:23.920 --> 0:15:25.800 of if you're going to just rate the players for 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:27.880 the entire day, I might go Zabel one and I 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:30.040 might go Walter Nolan too, and then the two tight 0:15:30.120 --> 0:15:32.000 ends those would be probably the top four guys. 0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:35.440 Yeah, that's that's a good point. I mean, Walter Nolan, 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:37.400 you know, we talked about on the show, like he 0:15:37.520 --> 0:15:40.240 wants to have an Aaron Donald like impact, you know, 0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.240 and he's not the type of player that Aaron Donald is. 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:45.400 But look, yeah, set your sights on the stars, and 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:45.960 that's what he did. 0:15:46.000 --> 0:15:48.080 And I think, you know, he did as good as 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:50.000 you could imagine for a player on day one of 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:52.200 the practice week in terms of kind of setting the 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:55.800 expectations for what he is capable of. T J Sanders 0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.320 and his sweatpants was good. I'd love to see him 0:15:58.360 --> 0:16:01.000 now in full pads moving forward. Tim Smith had a 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:03.360 couple of nice reps today as they camp. I thought 0:16:03.400 --> 0:16:05.520 the interior d line guys really showed up on this 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:08.400 team now that we kind of look for it. Omar 0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:11.600 Norman Lott was definitely one of those guys. I think 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:13.320 he's dealing with a little bit of an injury now, 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.160 so I'm not sure how much more we were going 0:16:15.240 --> 0:16:16.960 to see of him, but I think we saw enough 0:16:17.000 --> 0:16:17.920 today to feel pretty. 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:18.040 Good about it. 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:19.920 He had about three plays in a row where he 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:22.040 was knifing through the line of scrimmage and they didn't 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:23.680 even get a hand on him, to the point where 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.680 we kind of laughed. During the broadcast, the offensive line 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.320 coach was like, guys, we got to put our hands 0:16:29.360 --> 0:16:31.640 on him. I'm like, that is a good piece of advice. 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:36.040 Blocking hands are requirement there. When we look at the 0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:39.240 the rest of this group, I think, corner wise, you know, 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:42.040 is this the afternoon group was the Kentucky corner yeat. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.560 Maxwell Harriston had a really nice day. Now. He's a 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.360 buck seventy nine and he came in at five to one, 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:48.840 one two. I thought he was going to be a six, 0:16:49.000 --> 0:16:50.520 you know, over six feet. I thought he'd be like 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.640
