21
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: a couple of years after a couple of weeks after

22
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,000

30
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: exciting game. I haven't played in the game. I just

31
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: remember what is on the line. It's not only the

32
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: opportunity to play in another game and college with an

33
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to play in front of NFL personnel, scouts, coaches,

34
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: all that other stuff. So it's a great opportunity to

35
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: continue to submit your status as a top prospect. I'm

36
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 1: looking forward to taking all these practices in and then

37
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: being able to share it with everybody at home. NFL

Speaker 1: plus gonna kind of open this whole thing up for

39
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: us now. So if there are portions of practice that

40
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,639
Speaker 1: you missed out on, you're not gonna miss out on anymore.

41
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: We're gonna a chance to cover all of it this year,

42
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 1: one on ones are fantastic looking for that next Bailey

43
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: Zappy uh this year. For someone that's gonna be kind

44
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: of an out of off the radar quarterback that we

45
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: might see playing games next year. I can't wait. Uh,

46
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: And we got one that we're gonna get to as

47
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: we reveal all of the quarterbacks headed down to well

48
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: be able. But for let's give you a look at

49
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: what DJ was talking about here. The Reese's Senior Bowl

50
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: Live practices begin Tuesday twelve, thirty Eastern time, go all

51
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: the way through Thursday, February second, and then of course

52
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl game uh kicks off to thirty pm

53
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: Eastern Time on Saturday, February four, right here on NFL Network.

54
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,119
Speaker 1: Cannot wait for the festivities down in Mobile, of course,

55
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: where we will see another terrific quarterback class that Jim

56
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: has put together. Here some big names of college football

57
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 1: that have put up some massive numbers. We just saw

58
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: Max Duggan of course in the College Football National Championship,

59
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: and this to be an opportunity for him to remind

60
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: people why he is on this list after what was

61
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: the disappointing performance from TCU this past night. But let's

62
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: get to one of the lesser known names here. As

63
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 1: we talk a little bit about Tyson, agent from Shepherd

64
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: here and just kind of give you a look at

65
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: his profile and where he came from. So Shepherd University,

66
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: I mean makes sense, located in Shepherd's town, West Virginia,

67
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: Division to school. Most prolific passer in Division two history,

68
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: with just over seventeen thousand career passing yards and more

69
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: career passing touchdowns at any quarterback in any n C

70
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: Double A division. So a terrifically productive player, real competitor

71
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: to since his dad was a professional arm wrestler, which

72
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: is great. So excited to learn a little bit more

73
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: about Tyson began as we continue down this path to Mobile.

74
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 1: But you know, let's start here DJ with a guy

75
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: we saw, um you know, didn't have his best effort

76
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: against Georgia in the National title game, but a real

77
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: opportunity for Max Duggan here to show his stuff down

78
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: in Mobile. They didn't have the horses in that game, right,

79
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: TC was overmatched, But you just have to go back

80
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: to the previous week and see what he did in

81
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: that Michigan game. Go back to the conference championship game

82
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: which they lost to Kansas State. But he showed you

83
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: his grit and his toughness, what he's all about to

84
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 1: put tc in a position to win that football game.

85
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: This is somebody that's a little bit of a roller coaster.

86
00:03:58,080 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a little bit inconsistent, kind of like

87
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: that TCU football team. You got some slow starts, then

88
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he would take off a lot

89
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: of it with his legs, extending plays, big plays down

90
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: the field. I want to see him at Mobile just

91
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: have a steady, consistent week. You know. Accuracy is gonna

92
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: be something we're keeping our eyes on here. I think

93
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: he enters this week as a mid round guy. We'll

94
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: see if you can help himself down to Mobile. Yeah,

95
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: and and look, we just talked a little bit about

96
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, Tyson major. But I'd love to get your

97
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: thoughts on how you end up finding a guy from Shepherdstown,

98
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 1: West Virginia who has put up so I mean, the

99
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 1: numbers are incredible, and I'm just kind of curious that

100
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: what you expect to see from Downomobile. Well, we saw

101
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: him over the summer at the Manning Trip right down

102
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: there in Thibodeaux with Tyson again all time leading touchdowns

103
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: leader in n C double A history. You got to

104
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: invite that guy, right, And when we went through the fall,

105
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: he was the only sub FBS quarterback. There wasn't a

106
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: single FCS quarterback that the league got a draftable grade on.

107
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: So again he was in the mix of a lot

108
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: of these day three guys. Um, and you gotta bring

109
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: this small school guy to let him to let him

110
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: show his stuff. So you know he interestingly he jumped

111
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: into portal over the summer. He really wanted to get

112
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: interest talking to him that he wanted to get interests

113
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: from one of the blue blood programs USC Notre Dame

114
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,799
Speaker 1: is what he was looking for, got offers from Maryland

115
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: and West Virginia. Said you know what, I'm gonna run

116
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: it back with my boys. They make the they make

117
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: the D two semifinal um. And again when you're around him,

118
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: like we hand delivered the invite, that was one of

119
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: the small school guys who did that with this year.

120
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: And to see the reaction of the players around him,

121
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: you can tell he's one of their guys. So the

122
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: leadership is off the charts. And again, like we you

123
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: were around him, he's six three verified, he's two twenty verified,

124
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: so he has NFL size, he has NFL tools. He

125
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: can really layer the football. Now let's see him do

126
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: it against the big boys. Now you talk about the

127
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: big boys, he certainly is gonna have an opportunity to

128
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: show improved that he can play on a big stage.

129
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 1: But how about Jared Hall from b y U. This

130
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: is a guy who has been efficient and effected with

131
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: the ball in his hands, does a great job of

132
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: taking care of the ball. And then when you look

133
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: at the numbers, over six thousand passing yours fifty d

134
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: touchdown was only eleven interceptions. We think about the number

135
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: of guys had an opportunity to start games this year,

136
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: Almost seventy quarterbacks started games. When you look at his

137
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: skill set, his understanding of the offense, the way that

138
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: he runs the offense as a manager, he's certainly gonna

139
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,320
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to National Football League. I'll tell you what.

140
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: Some of these guys, you have that moment where they

141
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: kind of popped on the scene, and that to me,

142
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: when you think about jakan Er Fresno State, think back

143
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: to that U c L A game a couple of

144
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: years ago where he just kind of laid it all

145
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 1: out there. It just just taking shot after shot, getting

146
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: back up and delivering strikes incredibly accurate. Just an efficient

147
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: passer has that ability as a natural kind of throw,

148
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: or be able to drop your arm down different arm angles.

149
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 1: Just a football player, he can create make things happen. Um.

150
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: I think teams are gonna fall in love when they

151
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: meet with him. From everything I've been told about him intelligence, characterwise,

152
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a popular on a mobile. Yeah. And

153
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: I want to talk about a guy who I think

154
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: is going to hit all the right notes down to mobile,

155
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: and that's of course, Clayton Tune from the University of Houston.

156
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: Come on nothing, DJH All right, So look, I mean, yeah,

157
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: I can sit here and talk about his twelve thousand

158
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: career passing yards, hundred for passing touchdowns, but I'm gonna

159
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: tell you this, And I don't know exactly how throwing

160
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 1: footballs at golf carts accurately is going to translate to

161
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: the NFL, but that's what he was able to do.

162
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 1: Amongst the group of forty the best quarterbacks in a

163
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: competition down in Thibodau, Louisiana, at the Manning Passing Academy,

164
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: and one okay, so uh Clayton June, I think it

165
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: was just a really fun guy to watch on tape.

166
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: Obviously had that game against SMU that was incredible, right

167
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: with sixteen combined passing touchdowns he accounted for seven of them,

168
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: but also ran for the first touchdown of that game

169
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: fifty five yards. He's a guy that I feel like

170
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: fits today's build, that can get out of trouble and

171
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: make some plays improvisational wise, like out on the run,

172
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 1: and then also just a phenomenally talented passer that comes

173
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 1: from that air raid system. Um. So, really nice group

174
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks that you put together here, Jim excited for

175
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: it Downomobile. Let's get to some of the running backs

176
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 1: that we're talking about here. A national champion has headed

177
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: to Mobile, Kenny McIntosh, and we saw last night at

178
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: so Far hoisting hardware for Georgia. A couple of fullbacks

179
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: in this group that maybe more like h backs could

180
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: fit in the tight end group two with Josh Wiley

181
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 1: Cincinnati and Brandon Willis, who will talk about here just

182
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: a little bit. When Brent Venable's head coach of oh

183
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: you joins us uh there from the Oklahoma Sooners. But

184
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: Bucky let's be game with a player who I think

185
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 1: is still running through the collective consciousness of the US

186
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: in that ball game. Yeah, I mean you talk about

187
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: years coming from two lane. What I loved about it

188
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: having a chance to watch him at the Cotton Bowl.

189
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 1: He tore them up. He continued to do what he's

190
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: done throughout his career. This season, had over fifteen on

191
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: the yards. Has a way to put the ball in

192
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 1: the paint that you see with nineteen touchdowns. And it's

193
00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: the combination of skills that he brings to the table

194
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 1: stop start quickness balanced by the control, great vision. But

195
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: what I love about it his ability to put the

196
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: ball in the paint. It's hard to find running backs

197
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 1: that can do it consistently. Not much better than what

198
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 1: you saw Spears do. Yeah, getting the commitment from Spears

199
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: was big. He's an underclassman. We love getting the juniors

200
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,199
Speaker 1: in the game. We had sixteen last year, twelve the

201
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,319
Speaker 1: year before that, so we got Taj and Kenny Macintosh

202
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: literally in like a twenty four hour span. So Taj

203
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: had the big Cotton Bowl. We flipped to Kenny Macintosh here,

204
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 1: you know, had a monster game in that Ohio State game.

205
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: I think that The thing that pops off the tape

206
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: when you watch it is the explosiveness. Whether it's in

207
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: the past game, we're in the run game. I mean,

208
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: this guy has just got an instant gear for a

209
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: big back. You know, last year that that running back room,

210
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: there's always such a crowd in that room. Last year

211
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: was a Mere White and James Cook. This year, even

212
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 1: those guys moved on, there's still there's still playing, still

213
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: playing a rotation, right, So he sees this as an

214
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: opportunity to come to a bill really show himself. I

215
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 1: think in the past game stuff is where he's gonna

216
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: set himself apart, running wheel routes, catching the ball downfield.

217
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: So um, getting Kenny mackintosh and tosh a um two

218
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: big guts for us. I'm gonna go ahead and go

219
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: on record right now and say I'm gonna have three

220
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: maybe four sharp instead of Peters goof ups. Senior Bowl week.

221
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: That's coming, Yeah, that's coming. That that's coming. Alright, we're

222
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: gonna talk about running backs. We've gotta go to to the

223
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: best school in the country. Let's go to app State.

224
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 1: Let's talk about a little camera. People's here who feels

225
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: like he's been at my alma modern Apple Action State

226
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: for about ten years because he's been a key part

227
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: of their rushing attack and similar. Look you see the

228
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: numbers Therey, five hundred ninety three yards, you might go,

229
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: how is this guy going to the Senior Bowl. They

230
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: are another team that is had a just a ton

231
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: of quality backs. They roll them all through. He's battled

232
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: some injuries throughout his career. But the one thing I

233
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: was there over the summer. You go in the weight

234
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: room and he's not tough to identify. He has an

235
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,599
Speaker 1: NFL body on him, carries it really well. Once you

236
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 1: get out in the open field, he can really go

237
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 1: a little bit of an upright runner, but he's a

238
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: home run hitter with size. So I'm excited to see him.

239
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: You look at Rashad White, what he's done with the

240
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I think you have a similar type

241
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 1: of a skill set here. And not to pin this

242
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: comp on him because he's not this guy, but there's

243
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 1: a little Derrick Henry in terms of the upright stuff,

244
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: the breakaway gear, but for big back Scott feet. So yeah, absolutely,

245
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: you guys, I want to talk briefly about again, Let's

246
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 1: talk some more about up state. Here we got another

247
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: one coming. The quietest six d yard rushing season maybe ever.

248
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: Chase Brown at Illinois was such a key piece of

249
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: the fighting a lionized resurgence this year under Brett Bilma,

250
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: and I got see him in person making my way

251
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 1: around the Big ten Um unstoppable like truly often and

252
00:10:57,920 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: gave to him he could slash and the thing that

253
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: really us be with this vision and then once he

254
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: sees it the ability to accelerate in the phone booth,

255
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: I thought, Chase Brown, it's gonna be a guy that

256
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to really make an impact with NFL

257
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 1: evaluators down at the Senior Bowl, excited to see what

258
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: he puts out there on tape at the practices and

259
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: then of course at the game. Uh, really really gonna

260
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:19,839
Speaker 1: be fun to watch it. You know, one of those

261
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: guys that maybe when it's all said and done, ends

262
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 1: up putting himself in the conversation to be one of

263
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 1: the best ever do it at the Senior Bowl. And

264
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: right now we're gonna give him a little bit of

265
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: advice from some guys who have already had that distinction

266
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 1: based on their productivity down at the Senior Bowl. And

267
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: some Hall of famers. If I played my senior year

268
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: and I have a chance to be on the best

269
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: of the best all star team, which is what it is,

270
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: and they're telling you you can play, you can you

271
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: actually get to play one more college game, you know

272
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 1: with the best age of college that I go, shoot, heck, yeah,

273
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: you mean I get to play two more quarters football.

274
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm telling them, now, take advantage of the opportunity, say yes,

275
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: no reason not to come. Um, get get involved, throw

276
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: yourself in and be invested. Be invested in relationships, could

277
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 1: lead to the team that you're gonna play on, could

278
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: lead to long term friendships, whether it be the guys

279
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: that you're playing with. UM, and obviously just maybe it

280
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: can lead to an m v P. And in a

281
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: long career, you get a week of being right in

282
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 1: front of these guys to show them what you're all about.

283
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 1: I've put in four or five years at this college

284
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,959
Speaker 1: and here's why you need to take me. So I'm

285
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: singer Bowl all the way. What an endorsement for the

286
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 1: game to come from some Hall of famers who are

287
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: just inducted at a great ceremony this summer. Jim guys

Speaker 1: obviously did a great job. Me. What better you know,

289
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 1: way to influence kids to come to the game and

290
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: to put that out on tape and to hear from

291
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: guys like that Jim that have done it. Yeah, I

292

Speaker 1: love I love to hear from that, from those guys.

293
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 1: And that's why the Hall of Fame event is so

294
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: great because you hear their stories. You know, like like

295
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: here from Philip Rivers that you have the opportunity to

296
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: come down and play for the San Diego Charger staff

297
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: at the time. And that's the last team that coaching

298
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl that actually drafted a quarterback from the game.

299
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,679
Speaker 1: So it's been a it's been a while. It's been

300
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: a while. Now all those those guys are those guys

301
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: are our best salesman. The guys like Buck to play

302
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: in the game. Okay, well they can't do it by themselves.

303
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 1: And when we come back here and I moved the

304
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: stick Senior Bowl roster reveals, show gonna look at some

305
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 1: of their targets here and Clayton Tune will have a

306
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 1: familiar face in the game. Will get to that here

307
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: in just a little bit. Wide receivers and tight ends

308
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,719
Speaker 1: heading the mobile under the spotlight. When we come back.

309
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: We have not had an IVY League player in the

310
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl for six years and we have only had

311
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: to Princeton players in the history of the Senior Bowl

312
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 1: in our game. The first one in nineteen and then

313
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: the last one was Karen Reid I think in two

314
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: thousands and fourteen. But we got another one this year.

315
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 1: Where's andre draft starts? Better believe that andre Yeshiva's love

316
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: it getting the invite. Those small school invites are fantastic

317
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: and it's just further proof that doesn't matter what league

318
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: you play in, the Senior Bowl will find you so

319
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 1: from the IVY League and andre Yeshiva's to the CFP

320
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:12,040
Speaker 1: and Michigan's Ronnie Bell coming from Michigan had a terrific

321
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: year for the second straight year. Wide receiver who gets

322
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: to play in another game at his home stadium Jalen

323
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: Wayne from South Alabama after we had Jalen Tilbert, a

324
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys draft pick a year ago in last year's game.

325
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: I love seeing these receivers that are headed down to Mobile. Jim,

326
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: which of these guys uh particularly intrigues you out of

327
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 1: this group that that that's heading down, Well, I think

328
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: the guy that might have the most a gain of

329
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 1: anyone in this group is Dn'tavian Wicks from Virginia. I

330
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: mean he's a guy going into the year at second

331
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 1: round grades from a lot of teams. They have the

332
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: coaching turnover, you know, change in scheme. I think Brennan

333
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,600
Speaker 1: Armstrong the quarterback, was a guy we were high on

334
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: coming into the year. Struggle a little bit, but Bonte Dantevian.

335
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: When you just grade the athletes, not greating the football

336
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: players of the receivers. You just greade athletes in this group,

337
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: he might be the best one. And when when I

338
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: say that is you watch the double move route stuff

339
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: like this guy can really double move people. He had

340
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: four hundred yards as a as a junior, only four

341
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: hundred this year. So production dropped off, had some drops,

342
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: clean up some of the drops during the week, um

343
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 1: and show the show the teams the athleticism again. I

344
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: think of all that anyone in this group, he's got

345
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: as much to gain as anyone. Now. Almost kind of

346
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: the opposite of that, if you go to Xavier Hutchinson

347
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: from Iowa State, this is not a good year for

348
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: the Iowa State football program. They've been so good under

349
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: Matt Campbell. This year they took a step back, but

350
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: this was a bright spot for them. High volume guy.

351
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: You look at the numbers, they're hundred and seven catches

352
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,320
Speaker 1: over eleven hundred yards. You can play him inside, you

353
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: can play him outside. I want to see with him

354
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: just the true athleticism. What does that look like when

355
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: you see him in person? Does he have juice? Can

356
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: he get on top of guys? He's an excellent route runner,

357
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 1: He's got strong hands. Uh, he's one. I'm looking forward

358
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: to watching their mobile. You know DJ on the podcast

359
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,120
Speaker 1: where we we've talked a few times about the guys

360
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: that I have a success immediately in the National Football League.

361
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: Did the craftsman the skill players. So that's why I

362
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 1: want to see Rossi Rice from SMU, the reason why

363
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: he's so productive. Talk about two hundred thirty three receptions

364
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: over his career over three thous and yours. So when

365
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 1: you see guys at a productive head this many reps

366
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: running rouse being able to be the number one receiver

367
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 1: in their office, they have an opportunity to have a

368
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 1: lot of success in National Football League. I want to

369
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: see him show up his show out downomobile. A guy

370
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: that I'm kind of interested in that, I think if

371
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: if I'm an Iowa football fan. One of the things

372
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: that frustrates me most about this season, after our ineptitude

373
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: on offense, was the fact that we had the big

374
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: ten receiver of the year sitting in our backyard and

375
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: we let him go to Purdue and put up a

376
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,120
Speaker 1: hundred ten catches for thirteen hundred the right choice he did,

377
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: My goodness, apparently he also averaged thirty five yards against

378
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: a catch against the team that I followed quite closely

379
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: in the regular season finale, but I didn't remember it,

380
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: so I had to go back and I wanted to

381
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: watch the Syracuse game where he absolutely went off. So

382
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: to our director Sarah To Andrews Sciliano, Scott Hansen, and

383
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 1: the millions of Syracuse alums in this business, Charlie Jones,

384
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 1: UH destroyed you in that game up at the Carrier

385
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 1: Dome or whatever they call that thing. Now. Uh, he

386
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: is a complete player. I just like that. He could

387
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 1: do it everywhere, wide receiver, quick screen, deep ball, contested catch. Uh.

388
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: Put the ball in his hands and let him go.

389
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: He is a is a fun dude to watch. And

390
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: with that, let's now get to some of the tight ends.

391
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: They're gonna be trying to make an impact down in Mobile.

392
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,159
Speaker 1: And with that, you see one name on there that

393
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: might sound familiar to you. Will Mallory from Miami. Comes

394
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: from one of the great football families, Dad Mike, longtime

395
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: NFL coach, Really good player down there for the Hurricanes,

396
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 1: DJ who jumps out to you off this list. Now'm

397
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 1: gonna go to Clemson and Davis Allen. This is someone

398
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: I didn't really know a lot about when I popped

399
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: in the tape. And this is a loaded tight end

400
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: group and this is a good group that Jim's got here.

401
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: Go on to Mobile. But when you watch Davis Allen

402
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: really moves a smooth mover, moves like a wide out

403
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 1: on the outside, understands how to use his body and

404
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,959
Speaker 1: frame to kind of wall guys off. And he's got

405
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: some athleticism and wiggle after the catch. So a really,

406
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:51,440
Speaker 1: really solid player. And I think it might be the

407
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: best tight end draft we've had five to ten years.

408
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 1: It is loaded this year, yes, loaded, and we think

409
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: about it. Tight end of tight name really comes into

410
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: play on third down and down the rid zone and

411
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: camera let's o from Alabama's the guy that pushed the

412
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: ball into paint twelve touchdowns over the last two years.

413
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: I love the size six five pounds natural pass catcher.

414
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: And as we're looking at these teams that are sometimes

415
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 1: using these jumble wide house that tied in, he's another

416
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 1: one of these guys that might be creating mismatches, particularly

417
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: down in the red zone and the cool thing with

418
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 1: a lot to Buck two. He went there as a linebacker,

419
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: so he's played defense. He can tackle people who can

420
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: play on special teams. I'll talk about Luke Musgrave from

421
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: Oregon State. I mean, I think he's a guy right

422
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 1: now talking about under the radar players. He only played

423
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: two games this year, so he's been battling through an injury.

424
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 1: But a big frame guy that can really really run,

425
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 1: talk guys that can get down the field, make plays

426
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: in the past game, and he's got the frame to

427
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: play and play as an attached WI So we're seeing

428
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: some clips here him running after the catch. But I

429
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be the size speed combo that puts

430
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: him up in the top two or three guys in

431
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: this class. You talk to the NFL evaluators, which we

432
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: do putting this roster together. It was Hammer Dalton kid

433
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: came from Utah. Was everybody's top one or two in

434
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: the in the senior class. Yeah, I'm putting my name

435
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: on on this guy right now in terms of when

436
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: you it's a limit Jim is talking about with the injury,

437
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: but he he might run in the four fours. He

438
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: is big, he is fast, and he is somebody I

439
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: think coming out of the Senior Bowl. We saw it

440
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: last year with u c l as tight end Greg Dalson. Greg,

441
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: nobody could cover him. If he's healthy and shows up

442
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: a mobile, I think he'll be the name that comes

443
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 1: out of that with the most juice in the most buzz. Also,

444
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 1: Chad some flashes the rookie this year for the Denver

445
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,199
Speaker 1: Broncos senter passes from Russell Wilson. Uh. Certainly. And one

446
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:24,359
Speaker 1: of the names that kind of could have been on

447
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 1: that board right was Brandon Willis from Oklahoma. We're gonna

448
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: talk about here in just a minute. When head coach

Speaker 1: shoot for, uh, you know, as they developed throughout their career.

476
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,000
Speaker 1: And and that's what I love. This is the developmental game.

477

480
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: year window, a four year window, of five year window.

481
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: It happens at different times for different guys. And and again, U,

00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: the more season and experience you are, the better you get.

483
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 1: And so what an opportunity is for our guys to

00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 1: go compete against the best of the best, to work

485
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: with NFL coaches, uh and schemes you know, for the week,

486
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: to be able to interview in front of you know,

487
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: the entire NFL. What a great venue the Senior Bowl provides,

488
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 1: you know, for for our guys. Hey, Brent, uh just

489
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: question about Eric Gray. So you're coming from Clemson. You've

490
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: got a guy like Travis etn that can play on

491
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 1: all three downs? Like, how great was it stepping into

492
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,880
Speaker 1: a situation where you've got a guy and Eric Gray

493
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: that's got a similar skill set that you can just

494
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: leave out on the field. I mean he haends his

495
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: career there. Uh ok, along with career catches, which is

496
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: a ton for a college back, no question. And what

497
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: I love about you know what Jeff Levy, are offensive coordinator,

498
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:05,679
Speaker 1: has been able to do with Eric it it has

499
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: exposed to him all the different things that people want

500
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,160
Speaker 1: to see, whether it's certainly running the rock and the instincts, um,

501
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: how he plays behind his pads. Uh. You know he

502
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: can get outside inside, certainly catching the ball out in

503
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: space and being able to make people miss at the

504
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: second and the third level. Uh. The toughness that that

505
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,920
Speaker 1: this offense allows our guys to be able to play

506
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: really displayed all of Eric's best qualities. Um. He was

507
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: an absolute uh stud force this year. Uh. Tremendous durability,

508
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 1: just a great, great competitor and great teammate, very unselfish

509
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 1: to Marco Murray, one of the best to ever play

510
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 1: here at Oklahoma and obviously one of the best to

511
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 1: play in the NFL the last several years. What a

512
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: fantastic opportunity it was for Eric to be mentors and

513
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,959
Speaker 1: coached and developed by one of the all time greats here.

514
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: At Oklahoma in DeMarco fantastic football coach. But for us man,

515
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: Eric was able to do it all. And and I

516
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: think that there's nothing from a question mark standpoint, there's

517
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: nothing that the NFL I won't be able to see

518
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,760
Speaker 1: an evaluate on tape when it comes to them to

519
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 1: to Eric, you know, amazing leader of the things that

520
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 1: you're not quite sure what as you peel the onion

521
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: back and look at the players resume. You know, for

522
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: me as a coach, what I have great appreciation and

523
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 1: thankfulness for is the leadership, the everyday competitive toughness, uh

524
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: that Eric brought you know to our locker room, in

525
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 1: the practice fields day in and day out. And uh

526
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: really you know we you know for our offense and

527
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: we led the big twelve and rushing led by Eric

528
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: getting his tremendous durability. He fought through and played through

529
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: a bunch of injuries throughout the year. And so just

530
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 1: have a genuine thankfulness for for Eric. And you know

531
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,760
Speaker 1: what he to the table day in and day out.

532
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 1: I think he was fourteen hundred yards not to cut

533
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,400
Speaker 1: you off, he was the fastest hundred yards at Oklahoma

534
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: place with incredible tradition in history, both recently in the

535
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,320
Speaker 1: long term, but the fastest to fourteen hundred yards since

536
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: since Adrian Peterson. You know, coach, you talked about traditional

537
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 1: talking about running backs, but you guys also have it

538
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 1: in press of history who when it comes to tight ends.

539
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: Talked a little bit about Brandon Willis and what he

540
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,879
Speaker 1: brings to the table. Oh God, for me, is is

541
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: competitive toughness. In his leadership, he was an absolute dog

542
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,919
Speaker 1: when it comes to competing um day in and day out.

543
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: But on game day, no nobody in our team exemplified

544
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 1: the toughness better than Brandon Willis. Uh. He loves to block,

545
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 1: a devastating blocker at the second and the third level.

546
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: His strain um day in and day out as good

547
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: as I've been around. His ability to catch the ball

548
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,479
Speaker 1: and do things in space. You know, he can attack

549
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: and stretch you vertically. Uh, he can help set an edge.

550
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: But man, he loved to block. And what a punishing finisher,

551
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: uh that he was. But he played, you know, give

552
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: or take him. He might have been our you know,

553
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: the most valuable player on special teams as well, easily

554
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: could have won that award. I just all around, you know,

555
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: terrific football player. Uh, great, great toughness. You will immediately

556
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: make your locker room better because of his tough toughness.

557
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: His leadership is buying his unselfish mindset and uh and

558
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 1: again has a unique skill set to both be able

559
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: to play in the box and you know as an

560
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 1: attached tied in flex him out what he can do

561
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: out of the back fold. And then again uh, setting

562
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: the edge and uh, you know putting his tattoo on

563
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: linebackers on the second level is feeling really good. Coach,

564
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 1: I want to get your your thoughts on Jalen Redman,

565
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: that your defensive lineman. But before you give us your

566
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 1: thoughts on that, can you confirm whether or not there's

567
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: a wine seller behind you in that office? Because it

568
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: is rather impressive the background I was staring at right now. Hey,

569
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: I take no credit. This is a coach Stukes and

570
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: his wife Carol before coach studs never lived in actually

571
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: as they were moving in. So but yeah, beautiful, no wine,

572
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,280
Speaker 1: No wine in the office. How about Jailee Redmond? Coach,

573
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: Jalen Redmond a fantastic athlete. You know, it's been been

574
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 1: in our program a long time and had his best year.

575
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,360
Speaker 1: Uh that he's had you know, uh had some injuries,

576
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: so he kind of fought through that this year, but

577
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: have great appreciation, has tremendous upside. His best football is

578
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 1: ahead of him. Incredibly explosive, really twitched up. Probably his

579
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 1: best attribute is as a pass rusher, um, but he's

580
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 1: he's devastating at the point of attack as well. Just

581
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: continued to find two some things fundamentally, but his best

582
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: football is ahead of him. Great basketball player in high school,

583
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 1: wants to be a basketball coach when it's all said

584
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: and done. But you're getting a very explosive, disruptive player

585
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: that again he's again his best football and development still

586
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 1: in front of him and coach over on the opposite

587
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: side of the line of scrimmage. It turns out Norman

588
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,400
Speaker 1: will not be the end of the road for jan

589
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: Ya Morris named after one of the singers there boys

590
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: to man. I mean, are we talking about a renaissance

591
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: man here? Is there? Is there equal musical talent as

592
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: there was on the field. Yeah, he can. He can

593
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: really do it all. It just you know, his his football.

594
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,719
Speaker 1: Tremendous athlete. You know, finding athletic guys that can protect

595
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: the passer are are hard to find. As we know,

596
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 1: um really developed as a as a run blocker as well,

597
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 1: but tremendous athlete. You know, he probably played ninety probably

598
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 1: ninety plus percent of all of our reps there this year.

599
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: Miss uh missed a short time with a concussion. But

600
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: Wanya's a fantastic athlete. Know him. We recruit him when

601
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: I was at Clemson from Grayson High School. And again

602
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 1: he's played a ton of of winning football and wan

603
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 1: ya Uh he will only continue to add bring value

604
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: to himself as people more and more people get a

605
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:30,440
Speaker 1: chance to be around him. Incredibly bright, likable, a great teammate,

Speaker 1: when we come back, we're gonna look at some of

618
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: his pals are gonna join him in the offensive line

619
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,080
Speaker 1: room as well as some of those on the opposite

620
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,719
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage anomobile. That's when we come back here

621
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 1: and moved the sticks. Senior Bowl roster reveal show, all right,

622
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 1: welcome back, everybody needs to move the sticks. Senior Bowl

623
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: roster reveal shows we get to the big fellas since

624
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 1: some of the offensive lineman here Florida showcasing one of

625
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: their positions of strength with a pair of their Gators

626
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 1: heading down to Mobile this year, and the Joe Moore

627
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: Award winning top offensive line in college football well represented

628
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: in the Senior Bowl as well with a pair of

629
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: Wolverines in a game including phenomenal center Ola team. But

630
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: of course, everybody wondering who the next Quinn Miners are

631
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: cold strange small school maller might be. And we'll get

632
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: to that here a little bit. You also saw a

633
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: players on the field in the CFP National Championship game

634
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: at Sophi Stadium. Steve Avilla from TCU will head down

635
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: to Mobile to finish off his college career. But Jim,

636
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: want to talk to you a little bit about Tennessee

637
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 1: start hell right, Yeah, of all the players on the board,

638
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,200
Speaker 1: regardless of position, might be the most improved guy we

639
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 1: saw this year. It sounds simple, right, You move a

640
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: guy from left tackle the right tackle. Not that big

641
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: a deal. We had a late round grade on Darnell

642
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 1: right over the summer when when he's playing left tackle

643
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: as a junior, they moved to the right side this year.

644
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 1: A lot of credit to the offensive line coach, a

645
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 1: lot of credit to Darnell, but he almost looks like

646
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 1: a different player the hand us just clamping people down.

647
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: I think he got a lot of buzz coming out

648
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: of the Alabama game and what he did to Will

649
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 1: Anderson Um. So he's a guy that again late round

650
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: picked and now a guy that's gonna be in the

651
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 1: conversation for the first right tackle taken in this year's draft.

652
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 1: I think he's a lock to go somewhere on Day two.

653
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: So really a cool, really cool to see a guy

654
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 1: and make a big jump like that in the senior year.

655
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: You know, you tell me guys making cool jumps. How

656
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 1: about some of the small school standouts? So we go

657
00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: to North Dakota State Cody Walk and I shouldn't go

658
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 1: North Dakota State a small school because they're always competing

659
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: at the highest level even though their national runner ups

660
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: this year, that's right, they knocked them off. But this

661
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: guy that is versatile, We've seen a ton of players

662
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: come from that program half success in the National Football League.

663
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 1: Cody Mark is the next one to do. So. There's

664
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 1: always certain programs through to do a good job with

665
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: offensive linement. I think of Billy Napier when he was

666
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: down at Louisiana. Then he gets the job at Florida,

667
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: done a phenomenal job, and why not take one of

668
00:31:10,840 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 1: the best guys with you might be the top interior

669
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: offensive lineman this entire draft class in Osirius. Torrence did

670
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 1: a nice job there with the raging Cajuns. Okay, let's

671
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 1: see how he does in the SEC. More than held

672
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 1: his own, big physical maller. I think gap scheme teams

673
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: are gonna really like him. He can move people at

674
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: the point of attack. Again, a nice job by Billy Napier, identifying,

675
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: developing him, and then why not give an opportunity to

676
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: show it off at the SEC level, which he did. Yeah,

677
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 1: I mean might end up being one of the best

678
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 1: guards to ever play at Florida in just one year.

679
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: Is the only consensus first team All American that they've

680
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: ever had at that position, so certainly made an impact

681
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: there as well. Let's get to the other side of

682
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,520
Speaker 1: the ball, shall we. The defensive lineman. So these players

683
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,280
Speaker 1: that you're gonna be seeing flash through your screen here

684
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 1: are both interior defensive lineman and edge rushers. Uh. And

685
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: you'll have a duo of D line studs from the

686
00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: Alabama Crimson Tyn and d J. Dale and Byron Young

687
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 1: Ali gave Lsu looking to get after quarterbacks in Mobile.

688
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:05,800
Speaker 1: And then how about Isaiah Fosky from Notre Dame bringing

689
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 1: back to back ten sacks seasons down to the Senior Bowl.

690
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 1: And by the way, as we get to the last

691
00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: group here on this page that is not a typo,

692
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: another Byron Young and another good Tennessee volunteer guys. As

693
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:22,160
Speaker 1: we talk about some of these players, let's start with

694
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 1: the interior d lineman and one that entreats you buck,

695
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 1: how about that picking Zack Picks as a former five

696
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: star player again in high school who played fullback while

697
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: also playing d line and when you see the athleticism

698
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: interior penetrator. We talked about building your team. You gotta

699
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: have some guys that can create chaos at the line

700
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 1: of screammers. He's one that can do so. Has pass

701
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,600
Speaker 1: rush ability to also go with his ability stop to run.

702
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 1: Love the athleticism. I think he's very intriguing prospect. Yeah,

703
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 1: talk about athletes at this position. Keian White from Georgia Tech.

704
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: We were doing a guy from for the Game a

705
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: couple of years ago that's now playing for the New

706
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: York Giants. Blanket on his name right now? Uh and

707
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: that great but key and White was popping on the

708
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: tape and he's asked the guys in the office, Hey,

709
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: look this guy up. He's only a freshman, nineteen tackles

710
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 1: for losses, the first year defensive player, Kean White. He's

711
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: two unwo pounds. He moves like a two sixty five

712
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 1: pound guys. So you're looking for that smaller man movement,

713
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: some of the natural pass rush. In terms of the

714
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: guys that make money and one on one passed restrials

715
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 1: this year, I think Kean Whites' at the top of

716
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: that list. And I like the fact you can stress

717
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: some of these interior offensive linement with different types of

718
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: defensive tackles. And how about this when you have Baylor

719
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 1: Siakaka who came from L s U. This is a maller.

720
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: This is a not quite the athlete that Vida is,

721
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: but the same exact body type. He's a pocket pusher

722
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: and cover the Charger games and seeing it around the league,

723
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: not just with the Chargers, but other teams playing so

724
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: much too high coverage, playing with light boxes. This is

725
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:44,920
Speaker 1: the type of player I think you're gonna see with

726
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: increased value with the way the game is played right now.

727
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: He can play a gap and a half, he can

728
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: two gap. He's gonna help you get the third down

729
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 1: and then eventually be able to rush the quarterback. So

730
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: if you have anchor issues as an interior offensive lineman,

731
00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: you're gonna want to count the line and you're not

732
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: gonna want to get in line with that. Well, and look,

733
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: we do love the one on one pass rush drills

734
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: with the offensive lineman, the defensive lineman, and those edge

735
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:08,759
Speaker 1: rushers in particular DJ which one of that group that

736
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 1: stands out to you, Well, this is something I haven't

737
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 1: seen a lot of, but there's buzz you make phone calls,

738
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: you hear about these names. I'm excited to really see

739
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: him up close and in person as counting Benton from

740
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 1: Wisconsin talking to Jim about him a little bit earlier today,

741
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,000
Speaker 1: and just you know, the limited stuff I've seen, just

742
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: some cut ups. I want to dig in. But has

743
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: the ability kind of flip his hips. He's got some

744
00:34:25,600 --> 00:34:28,879
Speaker 1: real athleticism, some twitch inside. Uh, somebody that I think

745
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,759
Speaker 1: with traits. You get down to the Senior Bowl, you're

746
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:32,239
Speaker 1: getting one on ones, You've got a chance to really

747
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,200
Speaker 1: help yourself. He's in that list of guys. To me,

748
00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:36,839
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to really digging in and studying. Yeah,

749
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,000
Speaker 1: you brought up his name earlier Red with with two

750
00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 1: double digit sacker Isaiah Fosky at Notre Dame. I mean

751
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 1: that's a room we've tapped into with Odeo Gandji second

752
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: round pick to the Falcons Dale and Hayes before that

753
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: to the Baltimore Ravens. Now we're bringing Foskey down. I

754
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,680
Speaker 1: think the question is going to be in terms of

755
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: the ability to bend the edge. He has length, he

756
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,839
Speaker 1: has power, obviously very very productive. Um you know, high

757
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: character player too. But how how well can he really

758
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 1: turn that corner? That's going to be the question. I

759
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have a huge week again. This is

760
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,960
Speaker 1: one of those junior ads for us. Was it was

761
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: a big get excited to get as a down there

762
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 1: look out standing player. You see him off the age,

763
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,920
Speaker 1: the production stands up on tape. Another guy who I'm

764
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 1: excited about is Brian Young. You talked about we have

765
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 1: two of these guys. Yeah, you get two same name,

766
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 1: same team. You have to play very productive off the edge,

767
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,280
Speaker 1: and what I really like is the motor, NonStop player.

768
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 1: You see a little nastiness in his play. The Volunteers

769
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 1: emerged as the top ten team Parson because their defense

770
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: played well. He was a big part of the defense

771
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 1: off theear, played some of his best ball late couple

772
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: of sacks in his final game there for the Tennessee Volunteers.

773
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 1: As we also looking forward to watching all those guys

774
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 1: get after it down there in Senior Bowl practices, which

775
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 1: of course you're gonna see here live on NFL Network.

776
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, we'll continue our look

777
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 1: at the defensive stars heading to the Senior Bowl with

778
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: a look at the linebackers and defensive backs looking to

779
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 1: make an impact in front of NFL evaluators. That's next

780
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:04,080
Speaker 1: Bill at the place where the senior boat is. And

781
00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: I found out today, Yeah, we got one guy on

782
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:28,400
Speaker 1: this team, one guy on everybody. I don't know that,

783
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: So I gotta say, man, doesn't get much more special

784
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:39,359
Speaker 1: than that in terms of announcements of invitations right there

785
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: with the mobile's own Robert Brazil, a Senior Bowl Hall

786
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: of Famer. That's pretty cool right there, Jim, Yeah, it

787
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,120
Speaker 1: was pretty cool. We had a chance to go to

788
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 1: Jackson State in August and speak to the team and

789
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 1: get with coach Prime and he wanted a guy in

790
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: the game, and uh and his guy played really is

791
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 1: guy played great this year. So that's awesome. Hard linebacker

792
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,200
Speaker 1: corl that we want to start showing you in now

793
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: here with something these terrific names. I really love. I'm

794
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: in pace. I got to see him in person and

795
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 1: do that just finds the football over all over the place,

796
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 1: can rush the passer um as well. From that second level,

797
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,959
Speaker 1: as we get to some of those linebacker names, of course,

798
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that one with the best logo on

799
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 1: this page and that top left hand corner here just

800
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 1: a little bit, but some really, some really good players

801
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: here from the second level of the defense coming down

802
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:27,080
Speaker 1: to make an impact. Jim. But let's talk a little

803
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 1: bit about the Washington State Diane Henley. That's coming down, Yeah,

804
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,919
Speaker 1: Dan Henley. So we had three players in last year's

805
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: game from Nevada, the probably the most notable right now

806
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,359
Speaker 1: being Romeo Dubs, the receiver from the Green Bay Packers. Well,

807
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,200
Speaker 1: Dan was out there, and again a guy that took

808
00:37:42,239 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 1: advantage of the portal that we're seeing a lot of

809
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: portal talk right now, and this is guy that took

810
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: full advantage. He is a run and hit linebacker. The speed,

811
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: jumps off the tape, the physicality, the intensity. These are

812
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: the guys I love bringing the mobile because you know

813
00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 1: what they're gonna be bring to just the overall practice,

814
00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:00,239
Speaker 1: tempo and competitiveness. So he makes places and cover but

815
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 1: just playing downhill. Blitzer do it all linebacker made a

816
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:06,279
Speaker 1: huge jump this year. And again a guy that really

817
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: took advantage of the portal. A guy whose neck is

818
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: on a milk carton too, I mean has he is

819
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: muscles on top of muscles. He looks I'm gonna go.

820
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,279
Speaker 1: Will McDonald Iowa State. I talked about Xavier Hudginson from

821
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 1: Ohio State or from Iowa State a little bit earlier. Uh,

822
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: this is somebody that I watched over the summer, actually

823
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 1: watching before last year's draft, though there was a chance

824
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: we could see him there. You talk about bendy and loose,

825
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 1: kind of the opposite of Fosky the way you were

826
00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: talking about Fosky earlier. The question with him can he

827
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 1: bend The question with McDonald's gonna be does he have

828
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,799
Speaker 1: speed to power? Can he really get into guys? Can

829
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 1: he really shot guys with his hands? Because the ability

830
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: to bend the edge not a problem at all in

831
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: his game. Yeah, you talked about not a problem at all.

832
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: It's not a problem when you can find guys who

833
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: gets sacks. So Isaiah Lamb from f for Florida and

834
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: him is a guy who certainly can get it done.

835
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 1: One but Buchanan player of the year, I mean he

836
00:38:53,880 --> 00:38:55,960
Speaker 1: was the best FCS defensive player of the year head

837
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 1: nineteen and a half sacks, followed up with eight sacks

838
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 1: and nine games this year. This is a guy that

839
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 1: he's bendy, explosive, will have an opportunity to showcase his

840
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 1: skills and anyone who had an opportunity to see James

841
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: Houston kind of rides up to Charles to have a

842
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 1: productive year in Detroit certainly allows to be on Isaiah Land.

843
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 1: All right, Jim, let's talk something. Let's get this and

844
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:20,040
Speaker 1: this is not a Homer pick. I mean, I've been

845
00:39:20,080 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 1: talking to Jim about Cam Jones now for a while

846
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 1: and obviously his former defensive coordinator is now down there

847
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 1: in your backyard and mobile leading the South Alabama Jags.

848
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, I mean there's the more you talk

849
00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 1: to folks around the IU program about Cam Jones will

850
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: tell you what a phenomenal player he is. But the

851
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: relationships that he has built with coaches, kids, with his teammates,

852
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: like he is just a phenomenal human being. This will

853
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: be a big week. Form Downomobile was off to a

854
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: really good start to this season. Kind of take it

855
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: over as the guy on that second level after Michael

856
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: McFadden left and was drafted by the New York Giants. Um, Jim,

857
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,279
Speaker 1: I mean, like he you know, got hurt in the

858
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,240
Speaker 1: Nebraska game, didn't play for the rest of the season,

859
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 1: so real opportunity to show case his skills, show teams

860
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: that he's healthy and ready to just keep going. You know, Okay,

861
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 1: you want to do the rest of the show to

862
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 1: the cornerbacks that are headed down to Mobile, shall we um?

863
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 1: I guess you know, Jim, you just decided to take

864
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: the whole Illinois secondary, which is cool because they were

865
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 1: really good. Weather decordinator did get head coaching, that's right.

866
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 1: We won't talk about where he's coaching, but no, Yeah,

867
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,840
Speaker 1: Kwan Martin fantastic Witherspoon and he's got a chance to

868
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: be a you know, first round pick this year. So

869
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 1: and then you get a look at a few more

870
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 1: of these guys as well. I mean, this is it's

871
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun group. In other South Alabama jag

872
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 1: is headed down with Darryl Looter Junire. Always fun to

873
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,359
Speaker 1: see those guys in the crowd reaction uh down there

874
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: at Hancock Whitney when they get there inside the stadium

875
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:49,120
Speaker 1: in front of the hometown crowd. So let's start here

876
00:40:49,600 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: with you, Bucky and give us a corner that you

877
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: like in this game. Chris Smith from the back to

878
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: back national champs, that's right, coming from Georgia. You want

879
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,320
Speaker 1: a dog. I'm not just talking about their logo, dim ascot,

880
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: the enigma. You want a guy who was very competitive

881
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 1: and feisty. He could do all those things. And this

882
00:41:04,680 --> 00:41:06,320
Speaker 1: is a guy who has always been on the radar.

883
00:41:06,400 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: People love the way he plays. He's tough, he's physical, aggressive,

884
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 1: hast in versatility. He is going to be a top prospect. Yeah,

885
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: I talked about a guy. Another guy took advantage of

886
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 1: this year. Didn't get a Senior Bowl invite last year,

887
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 1: came back, got one this year. Kyo Blue Kelly is

888
00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:23,200
Speaker 1: the next name for me from Stanford. Love the guys

889
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: that are Senior Bowl legacies. His dad, Brian Kelly, played

890
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: in our game, former Buccaneers safety play with John Lynch

891
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,240
Speaker 1: there in Tampa. But Kyo Long, we don't have verified

892
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:32,880
Speaker 1: measurables on him now. But you watch the tape. You

893
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 1: just see the length. I mean it's a big, long

894
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,600
Speaker 1: corner with movement skills press man. Teams are really gonna

895
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: like him. Stanford didn't have a great year. This guy's

896
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 1: a high end cover player, had really good junior tape.

897
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: This guy has been at the top of our our

898
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: cornerback stack going all the way back to last spring.

899
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,200
Speaker 1: Uh you know again, look at some of the places

900
00:41:49,239 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 1: this guy's making on the ball. Long, long guy finisher,

901
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,360
Speaker 1: should have a great week in men, men, all in

902
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: the family. Hey, yeah, nicely done. I'll tell you what

903
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 1: I was actually talking about him a little bit of

904
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 1: the summer with David Shaw because of that game right there,

905
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 1: what he did with Drake Lennon was a great matchup

906
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: between two big, physical guys. I'm gonna go to Illinois.

907
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: You guys talked about Illinois having a loaded group this year.

908
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:11,840
Speaker 1: There's no no secret why they had the year that

909
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:15,240
Speaker 1: they had. Devin Weatherspoon to me, talking to guys around

910
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:17,239
Speaker 1: the league, I haven't got to the corners yet in

911
00:42:17,320 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: my study, so I'm looking forward to digging in. But Jim,

912
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 1: we were talking about him a little bit earlier as well.

913
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: When I call out, like give me the names, give

914
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: me the names, give me the names. His name comes

915
00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 1: up near the top of the list for everybody that

916
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: you talked to, somebody that gotta be one of the

917
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: higher rated guys in the game this year. Looking forward

918
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: to seeing him down there in Mobile. Yeah, well, he's

919
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: got company back there in the Illinois starting secondaries. If

920
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:38,879
Speaker 1: he gets to the safeties here that are headed down

921
00:42:38,920 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: to mobile in this year's game. Getting excited for this

922
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:46,480
Speaker 1: group as well. And well, um, that last name for

923
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: Sydney Brown should also sound familiar. I guess you got

924
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 1: built in roommate situation here right with John. Yeah, I

925
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 1: mean it's it's it's right when and so three of

926
00:42:56,160 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 1: the four or five starting Illinois secondary members heading down

927
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 1: there as well. You're Brown, really good player for Penn State.

928
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: And then you get a cabon Merryweather who did some

929
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 1: good things for that terrifically talented Hawkeye defense. Let's start here, though,

930
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 1: with an SEC safety from l s U. Jim Yeah,

931
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,439
Speaker 1: Jay Ward. He's played a ton of safety there at LSU,

932
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 1: but this year they moved into Nickel. Um new staff

933
00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:17,520
Speaker 1: comes and they moved to Nickel, and that was his spot.

934
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 1: You look at a guy that's gonna be a high

935
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 1: end Nickel at the next level. He's long, he's wiry,

936
00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 1: lex and bulk, but the guy just flies around and

937
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: hits people right and and just the play style, the

938
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:30,640
Speaker 1: feel in the slot. He's a really good blitzer. Uh.

939
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: The position move really did him well. Not to say

940
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: he can't play safety at the next level, but I

941
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,160
Speaker 1: see this guy is a starting Nickel early in his career. Yeah,

942
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go Jordan Battle at Alabama another guy I

943
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,359
Speaker 1: feel like I've been watching it. Some pretty good safety there.

944
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: Yeah they have it feels like he's been there for

945
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: a long time. Thought he might come out last year.

946
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: He's got tremendous awareness and instincts. But it was SEC

947
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:51,000
Speaker 1: Championship game last year as a pick six and that

948
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: one just always around the football, smart heady. I think

949
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 1: he's gonna be one of those guys. Not only what

950
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:57,560
Speaker 1: he does on the field, I think he'll have a

951
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,279
Speaker 1: chance to press guys in the meeting room down there

952
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,919
Speaker 1: in Alabama. Well, look, we can't talk about corners without

953
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: leaving a school that was known for their play on

954
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: the perimeter. How about Jamie Robinson from Florida State. You

955
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,360
Speaker 1: talk about f s, you being back, and there are

956
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: a lot of people that are excited to hear back

957
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,359
Speaker 1: one double digit games. This is a guy that played

958
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: a huge role DC seven interceptions in his career. You

959
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 1: look with guys who have ball schools, ball skills, guys

960
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 1: who are active and around it all the time. He's

961
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,000
Speaker 1: won those really good player, He's getting some Jalen Petrie

962
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:26,719
Speaker 1: comps around the league. Jalen Petriot had a great rookie year,

963
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: really did down there for the Houston Texans. Okay, well,

964
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: we've done all of the position players on the field,

965
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: if you will. And while you know, Georgia may have

966
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: won back to back national championships, the SEC may have

967
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:42,919
Speaker 1: won four straight national championships. Fifty of the senior ball

968
00:44:43,320 --> 00:44:46,520
Speaker 1: specialists come from the Big ten. Jim, Well, you look

969
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: at the specialist group you've got. You've got three former

970
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: NFL scouts sitting up here, and the best thing about

971
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 1: our jobs right now is we never have to do

972
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,520
Speaker 1: so I really lean on the NFL teams for this

973
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: and a lot of guys in the kicking space. There's

974
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 1: a lot of kicking guru specialist coopers out there. It's

975
00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,520
Speaker 1: a great group. I mean, these guys all were at

976
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: the top of the list for those guys, and we

977
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:05,719
Speaker 1: watch them a little bit, but not like we used

978
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 1: to have to. We don't have to touch stuff. Oh yeah, well, well,

979
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,600
Speaker 1: speaking of you know, inside a half step right footed hunter,

980
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: yea hang time, So speaking of like inside scouting here

981
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 1: a little bit like DJ, take us into your process,

982
00:45:22,239 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, as we kind of wrap this up here

983
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:26,960
Speaker 1: on what Senior Bowl week means for this whole process,

984
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,399
Speaker 1: and I know we're all excited to get downomobile. It's huge.

985
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:31,520
Speaker 1: You get a chance to see good on good. I love.

986
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: I'm partial to the one on ones. If you have

987
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: a question about a corner speed, well guess what you

988
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: go with the one on ones in the recent Senior Bowl.

989
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna get challenged vertically. We're gonna be able to

990
00:45:39,560 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: see Candice Guy run, Kenny catch up. You have an

991
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: offensive line when we talked about a little bit earlier,

992
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: you have questions about his anchor, Well, you go see

993
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 1: that big defensive tackle from Baylor. We're gonna find out

994
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: whether or not you can sit in there and anchor.

995
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,800
Speaker 1: It's a place where questions get answered, and it's a

996
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: place where each and every year, Jim, we've seen guys

997
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: up their stock. You've got a chance to really help

998
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:58,400
Speaker 1: yourself down there that week. When I think about the

999
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: Scene Bowl, I think about small school guys have an opportunity.

1000
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 1: We talked about at Scales being on the role of

1001
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:05,080
Speaker 1: trying to find somewhere where you can level the playing

1002
00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: field to make these projections at the next level where

1003
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:09,759
Speaker 1: the Senior Bowl provides you with an opportunity. You're a

1004
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: small school guy, you get to go to a gainst

1005
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: players from Power five schools and if you show improve man,

1006
00:46:15,160 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 1: you get a little extra check in that box. And

1007
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 1: so this is a great opportunity for the guys that

1008
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,840
Speaker 1: might not have been talked about, are seen throughout the

1009
00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 1: fall to really show up and have an opportunity to

1010
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:27,440
Speaker 1: really increase their start. Yeah. Buck, the small school stuff

1011
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 1: happens every year. You go back to last year, just

1012
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 1: last year alone. Christian Watson at this time last year,

1013
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:34,320
Speaker 1: fourth or fifth round draft pick for most NFL teams,

1014
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:37,480
Speaker 1: Cold Strange, Tennessee, Chattanooga, fifth round for most teams both

1015
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, Coal gets to the first round. Christian Watson

1016
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 1: thirty four overall. I'd just like say, you know, in

1017
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: terms of the Senior Bowl, and we've been going to

1018
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: the game. I went to the game twenty three years

1019
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: before I even took this job. Um, but I just

1020
00:46:48,280 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: love getting to know the players, right, the scouts going

1021
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 1: to the schools, they talked to everyone at the school,

1022
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: what's this kid like, what's the story? You get to

1023
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: hear the story from the player at the Senior Bowl

1024
00:46:57,239 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 1: and that's when it really starts. That's it's when you

1025
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: feel you make the connects, and that's where scouts can

1026
00:47:01,360 --> 00:47:02,920
Speaker 1: feel like, you know what, I can pound the table

1027
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: for this guy. I know this kid now right, Like

1028
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: it's different than just the tape. You get to know

1029
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 1: him as a person. So um, and I just before

1030
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: we get off, I want to thank you guys for

1031
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:11,920
