Speaker 1: officially begun. We know about free agency, but the NFL

3
00:00:06,600 –> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: Draft is a phenomenon in and of itself. Months and

4
00:00:10,720 –> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: months of speculation, research and discussion, and to use an

Speaker 1: We have our draft gear on as the back to

15
00:00:53,200 –> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: back Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs have selected their

16
00:00:57,160 –> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 1: class of twenty twenty four. First of all, what an

17
00:01:00,400 –> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: incredible draft fist that we had on Saturday. I almost

18
00:01:04,080 –> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: thought it was the best one we’ve ever had. The

19
00:01:06,680 –> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: timing went right up to our two fourth round picks

20
00:01:09,560 –> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: right on time. But to have Xavier Worthy celebrate his

21
00:01:14,120 –> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: twenty first birthday in front of thousands of fans on

22
00:01:17,200 –> 00:01:20,119
Speaker 1: the field at gha field at Arrowhead Stadium. I won’t forget.

23
00:01:20,440 –> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: It was super cool. And we’re actually recording this on

24
00:01:22,680 –> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: Saturday night, so that was earlier today, and it was awesome.

25
00:01:26,040 –> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 2: It’s one thing to have him tour the facility, and

26
00:01:28,760 –> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: he was here the day prior. We got to meet

27
00:01:30,360 –> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: him for the first time and he was having a

28
00:01:32,120 –> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 2: great time. But for him to go out there to

29
00:01:34,520 –> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: see the stadium and to see fans on the field

30
00:01:38,280 –> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: who are so excited to see him and welcome him

31
00:01:40,720 –> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 2: into the Chiefs family, it was really awesome. And as

32
00:01:44,000 –> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: excited as he was, I was watching his mom. His mom,

33
00:01:47,560 –> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: I’ve never seen someone with so much pride in their

34
00:01:49,880 –> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: eyes watching their son. It has to be so cool

35
00:01:52,120 –> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: for his twenty first birthday to be celebrated on the

36
00:01:56,040 –> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 2: grass at the stadium in the NFL where he’s going

37
00:01:58,880 –> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: to play as a first round pick. It’s pretty awesome.

38
00:02:01,760 –> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: So Xavier Worthy, welcome to the Kingdom, and.

39
00:02:04,680 –> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: His nickname is say. I brought up the fact that

40
00:02:07,320 –> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: we’re gonna get to it a little bit here. We’re

41
00:02:08,680 –> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 1: going to discuss all these draft picks, but for Exavier,

42
00:02:11,560 –> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: he brings back explosiveness in the punt return game. We

43
00:02:14,120 –> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: saw it with Mikole Hardman in twenty nineteen. In specific,

44
00:02:17,040 –> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, the Chiefs won the division, largely in part

45
00:02:20,240 –> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: to an explosive punt return and punt return game. But

46
00:02:23,280 –> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: I remember Tyreek Hill the click crowds calling the shot,

47
00:02:26,280 –> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: you know, Tyreek Tyreek, and he runs it all the

48
00:02:28,120 –> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: way back for a touchdown. Today is you’ll view this later,

49
00:02:33,480 –> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: but today again recording it on the Saturday night of

50
00:02:35,800 –> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: Draft Fest, when the crowd started going zay, they say, say,

51
00:02:40,560 –> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: he was just looking around like, oh my gosh. It’s

52
00:02:43,120 –> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: like we’re officially on with this. It was a cool moment.

53
00:02:46,120 –> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 2: You know what I always remember about that Tyreek putt

54
00:02:48,160 –> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: return is it happened organically, but then he got like

55
00:02:52,960 –> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: tackled for like a five yard punt return, but there

56
00:02:55,240 –> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: was a penalty, so he got to do it again,

57
00:02:57,280 –> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 2: and the crowd’s like, all right, we’re gonna do it again,

58
00:02:59,240 –> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: and then he returned it for a touchdown. It was

59
00:03:00,960 –> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 2: the craziest thing. I was an intern back then, and

60
00:03:04,680 –> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 2: what’s amazing about it We forget now because Tyreek Hill

61
00:03:07,520 –> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 2: is Tyreek Hill, but back then he wasn’t. He was,

62
00:03:10,919 –> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: you know, a guy that was just returning punts that

63
00:03:12,880 –> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: we were kind of excited about, who had flashed some things.

64
00:03:15,520 –> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 2: And I think his stardom really arrived in that moment.

65
00:03:19,160 –> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: It was incredible. But yeah, to have everyone chanting Xavier

66
00:03:22,080 –> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: Worthy’s name, for him to feel that love from the

67
00:03:24,440 –> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: Chiefs and from the Chiefs kingdom, that’s important. You want

68
00:03:26,880 –> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: them to realize that this is a family here. It’s

69
00:03:29,240 –> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: not just any NFL franchise, not just any city. This

70
00:03:32,160 –> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: is where you’re going to play football, and this place

71
00:03:34,040 –> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: is going to love you. And that’s important and he

72
00:03:36,560 –> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: certainly felt that here today on his birthday.

73
00:03:38,960 –> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: It was loud and clear that they are ready for

74
00:03:42,920 –> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: Zay to turn it loose. And thanks to Austin Woodard,

75
00:03:45,480 –> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: he bought Xavier cake. We sanging Happy Birthday, and it

76
00:03:50,920 –> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: was just a cool moment. A draft fest that’s been

77
00:03:53,640 –> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: just unique and set apart. Okay, we’re gonna jump into

78
00:03:56,200 –> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 1: this class, including Zay, but before we do that, let’s

79
00:03:59,720 –> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: have our our own draftfest around the world.

80
00:04:01,600 –> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I met three people over at Draftfest here today.

81
00:04:04,240 –> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: I wanted to shout out so shout out to Mark

82
00:04:06,760 –> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 2: and his son Jaden from Germany. I didn’t get the

83
00:04:10,680 –> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: full story on if they live here or if they

84
00:04:12,640 –> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: traveled from Germany, but he’s from Germany and they correspond

85
00:04:16,400 –> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: with a lot of our German fans. You know, we

86
00:04:18,760 –> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: have a huge German fan base, and apparently he’s kind

87
00:04:21,560 –> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 2: of the conduit. So shout out to Mark and Jaden.

88
00:04:24,040 –> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: They were awesome. I met Shane at Draftfest. Then I

89
00:04:26,880 –> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 2: also met Mitch at Draftfest. Not you a different Mitch.

90
00:04:30,920 –> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: He wanted to let me know that he listens to

91
00:04:32,640 –> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: DTK while doing his dishes, and when we have like

92
00:04:35,320 –> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: the twenty five minute episodes, it’s kind of perfect. But

93
00:04:37,960 –> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 2: his wife was there and she was reaffirming that, like, yep,

94
00:04:40,880 –> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 2: every single time he does dishes, turns on DTK. So Mitch,

95
00:04:44,760 –> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: if you’re doing dishes right now, thanks for listening.

96
00:04:48,080 –> 00:04:50,600
Speaker 1: Just use use it up so and change the water out.

97
00:04:50,640 –> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 1: The water’s a little cold. Twenty five minutes of doing dishes,

98
00:04:53,760 –> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 1: I mean, what are those guys doing. They’re like, well, you.

99
00:04:55,839 –> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: Know what, I think, I’m mixing it up. Because he

100
00:04:57,240 –> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: told me that he listens to DTK also at times

101
00:04:59,360 –> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: when he’s driving to work, okay, And if it’s longer

102
00:05:01,720 –> 00:05:04,159
Speaker 2: than twenty five minutes, that’s a little bit too long

103
00:05:04,320 –> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: for his drive. But when he’s not listening on the

104
00:05:07,080 –> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: way to work, he listens while doing his dishes.

105
00:05:09,320 –> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: Maybe he’s doing dishes. I don’t know, high v Market Gerrill,

106
00:05:12,000 –> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 1: and he’s doing dishes all day. Whatever it takes, Mitch,

107
00:05:15,680 –> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 1: and yes, love the name, Buddy, So use enough soap,

108
00:05:19,240 –> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: make sure the water, change it out every now and then,

109
00:05:21,279 –> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 1: and the water’s warm enough, right, get him clean. Well,

110
00:05:25,080 –> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: let’s just jump into this draft class. And I think overall,

111
00:05:28,360 –> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: let’s give kudos here to Breadveach in his team, his

112
00:05:32,040 –> 00:05:35,479
Speaker 1: own team, and we’ve talked about those guys and gals,

113
00:05:35,640 –> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: you know, really for weeks and weeks in preparation of this.

114
00:05:39,080 –> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 1: But this draft class, to me, has value written all

115
00:05:42,760 –> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: over it. When you look at the guys that were

116
00:05:44,720 –> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: chosen when they were chosen, what they can potentially bring.

117
00:05:48,760 –> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 1: I just think it’s a value field group.

118
00:05:51,040 –> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: And it’s hard to find great value and to find

119
00:05:55,440 –> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 2: game changing players if we’re being honest in the draft,

120
00:05:57,920 –> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 2: when you’re picking at the bottom of every single This

121
00:06:00,760 –> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: is why the NFL is designed that way. It’s to

122
00:06:03,200 –> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: prevent dynasties. The NFL doesn’t want that. They want to

123
00:06:06,120 –> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: have every single team having a chance every single year.

124
00:06:09,000 –> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: The Chiefs have found a way to defy that by

125
00:06:11,320 –> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: still finding great players and getting great value in the draft,

126
00:06:14,560 –> 00:06:16,559
Speaker 2: even though they’re picking at the bottom of every round

127
00:06:16,839 –> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: almost every single year. And that’s a testament to Brett

128
00:06:19,640 –> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: Veach in this front office because they really just dig

129
00:06:21,960 –> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 2: in on these guys and they trust their evaluation. And

130
00:06:25,040 –> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: we’ve seen so many players in the later rounds contribute

131
00:06:28,360 –> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: to championship teams and hopefully these guys we drafted here

132
00:06:32,000 –> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 2: over the last three days are going to do the same.

133
00:06:34,360 –> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: But yeah, we feel really good right now about the

134
00:06:36,480 –> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 2: value that we got. Of course, the great is incomplete.

135
00:06:39,200 –> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 2: They have to go out there and play, earn their spot,

136
00:06:41,120 –> 00:06:43,240
Speaker 2: show what they can do. But if you’re looking just

137
00:06:43,279 –> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: at rankings of players that we had going into the draft,

138
00:06:46,440 –> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: look at third party rankings, like Dan Bugler is one

139
00:06:48,680 –> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 2: of my favorites. He had some players here on his

140
00:06:51,480 –> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: board that we got way later than he thought they

141
00:06:54,560 –> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: would be available. So it’s exciting when you’re looking at

142
00:06:58,040 –> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 2: the raw numbers of the value that we got here.

143
00:07:00,200 –> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 2: They got to go out there and earn it. But

144
00:07:01,880 –> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: at least today, I’m very excited about this year’s a

145
00:07:04,200 –> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 2: class of players.

146
00:07:05,200 –> 00:07:07,160
Speaker 1: Usually they say, well, it takes two years to no,

147
00:07:07,240 –> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: it could really evaluate a draft class for three years,

148
00:07:10,640 –> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: Not with Brett Veach and not in recent history. Here

149
00:07:13,440 –> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: the twenty twenty two class comes to mind, with seven

150
00:07:15,840 –> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: drafted defensive players and with Jack Cochran an undrafted free agent.

151
00:07:19,800 –> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: To have eight rookies, go yots, baby, I’d have eight

152
00:07:23,760 –> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: rookies that were part of a Super Bowl championship. And

153
00:07:27,560 –> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: that’s never been done in the history of the leagues.

154
00:07:29,360 –> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: And we’ve seen the impact of the twenty one class.

155
00:07:31,840 –> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: We know that right away. It was Creed, Humphrey and

156
00:07:33,720 –> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Bolt and Tray Smith. So who knows these guys? And

157
00:07:38,400 –> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: we feel it. You and I both feel this that

158
00:07:40,520 –> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 1: there is going to be some immediate contribution in this class.

159
00:07:43,240 –> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: So let’s jump in here. You’re going to get immediate

160
00:07:45,520 –> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: contribution from Xavier Worthy the more we have found out

161
00:07:48,720 –> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: about him. The coordinators today and I thought Matt Nagy

162
00:07:52,600 –> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: was very forthright in talking about why he was so

163
00:07:56,440 –> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: valuable to the Chiefs. Yes he’s a punt returner, Yes

164
00:08:00,080 –> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: he led the FBS and punt returns. Just find his

165
00:08:02,840 –> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: seventy four yard punt return against Brigham Young and you’ll

166
00:08:05,240 –> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: be salivating. But Matt gave us an indication of his value,

167
00:08:10,760 –> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: not just physically pop on the four to two to

168
00:08:12,640 –> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: one right at the combine. But there’s more than meets

169
00:08:16,280 –> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: the eye here with Xavier Worthy. And that’s what Matt

170
00:08:18,960 –> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: Nagy kind of clued us into.

171
00:08:21,080 –> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: And I think that’s really important to emphasize. Yeah, he

172
00:08:24,400 –> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: ran a four to two one forty, which is insane.

173
00:08:27,480 –> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: It’s ridiculous. Humans shouldn’t be able to move that fast.

174
00:08:30,280 –> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: It’s the fastest forty yard dash time in the history

175
00:08:32,960 –> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 2: of the NFL scouting combine. But what you can’t do

176
00:08:35,960 –> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: is just lump him in with guys who also have

177
00:08:38,360 –> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: really fast forty times. They’re all different players with different stories.

178
00:08:41,840 –> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: They all just happen to be fast. For Xavier Worthy,

179
00:08:44,840 –> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 2: he is so much more than just a really fast

180
00:08:47,800 –> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 2: straight line speed guy. He has this sprinter speed, but

181
00:08:50,760 –> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 2: he’s more than that. He’s one of the best route

182
00:08:52,720 –> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: runners in this year’s class. He doesn’t just run the

183
00:08:55,040 –> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: go route, he runs a complete route tree because he

184
00:08:57,760 –> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: can use his speed to manipulate the coverage in the defense.

185
00:09:01,080 –> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: He can accelerate, decelerate, he can jab step, He can

186
00:09:04,400 –> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 2: do so many things while running his route to make

187
00:09:07,800 –> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: the defense adjust and make mistakes. And that speed makes

188
00:09:11,200 –> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: him so dangerous in this offense. I think this might

189
00:09:13,960 –> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: be the perfect situation for him, because, Yeah, he can

190
00:09:17,240 –> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: stretch the field. We’re excited about that. We know he

191
00:09:19,640 –> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: can do that. But think of all the ways Coach

192
00:09:21,640 –> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 2: Read’s going to use him along the line of scrimmage.

193
00:09:23,760 –> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 2: Think about orbit motions, jet sweeps, putting him in motion.

194
00:09:26,880 –> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: The defense has to respect his speed at all times,

195
00:09:29,800 –> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: and that’s going to open things up for other players

196
00:09:32,160 –> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: as well. I also love his production at Texas. That’s

197
00:09:34,760 –> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: important to note here because some players, a lot of

198
00:09:37,520 –> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 2: players in this draft didn’t really do a whole lot

199
00:09:40,080 –> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: then had like one or two great seasons. That’s not

200
00:09:42,800 –> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: Xavier worthy. He was really, really good his entire career

201
00:09:45,280 –> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: at Texas, played there three years. Every single year he

202
00:09:48,080 –> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: had at least sixty catches, seven hundred and fifty yards,

203
00:09:51,160 –> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: and five touchdowns, including one thousand receiving yards last year.

204
00:09:55,080 –> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: Think about all the mouths that were competing for targets

205
00:09:57,360 –> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 2: as well in that offense. Guys like Ad and I

206
00:09:59,400 –> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: Mitchell to Davion Sanders really good players and he was

207
00:10:02,280 –> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 2: consistently getting the ball. So we’re getting a really exciting

208
00:10:05,960 –> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 2: player here. Who Yeah, he has the four two, one forty,

209
00:10:09,160 –> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 2: but that’s not the reason he was drafted. He does

210
00:10:11,280 –> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 2: so many other things well, and he happens to be

211
00:10:13,760 –> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: incredibly fast as well.

212
00:10:15,440 –> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: To tag your point, only one of three FBS wide

213
00:10:18,480 –> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: receivers from twenty one to twenty two to twenty three

214
00:10:21,520 –> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: that had twenty seven hundred and fifty plus receiving yards

215
00:10:25,080 –> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 1: and twenty five plus touchdowns receiving only one of three,

216
00:10:28,920 –> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: So he gives you the idea of his consistent production

217
00:10:31,200 –> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: in three years. And he’s again it’s he’s only twenty one.

218
00:10:33,720 –> 00:10:36,199
Speaker 1: His twenty first birthday was today. But I’m going to

219
00:10:36,240 –> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: take you back something I send on the stage earlier

220
00:10:38,240 –> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: today that I tweeted it out because we were looking

221
00:10:41,880 –> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: at all these wide receivers. They said, here’s your checklist.

222
00:10:44,920 –> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: Check they work right away, work hard from the get

223
00:10:48,080 –> 00:10:52,679
Speaker 1: go to learn an analogy here of learning three languages

224
00:10:52,679 –> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: in four months, meaning you have got to learn the

225
00:10:55,000 –> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: terminology of this offense. And another check can you play

226
00:10:59,640 –> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: every position? You’re not an ex split in You’re not

227
00:11:01,800 –> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: a flanker, flanker zee, You’re not a slot, you’re everything,

228
00:11:05,040 –> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: You’re all of that. In discussing that with him today

229
00:11:08,360 –> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 1: on the stage, his eyes lit up because he can

230
00:11:11,559 –> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: even though he’s slender. Let’s take the knock here. He’s

231
00:11:13,440 –> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: won sixty five. Okay, But what was DeShawn Jackson when

232
00:11:17,160 –> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: he came out at a cow going to Philly, Because

233
00:11:19,360 –> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: that’s the cop right now people are talking about with Coach.

234
00:11:23,280 –> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 1: But still he didn’t flinch at all. And the fact

235
00:11:27,720 –> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: that I think he has got the ability to maybe

236
00:11:30,360 –> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 1: absorb and be work at it right away. He checks

237
00:11:33,840 –> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: all those boxes.

238
00:11:34,840 –> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 2: I have two thoughts on this, and both of them

239
00:11:36,679 –> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 2: are late back to DeShawn Jackson because I think these

240
00:11:39,000 –> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: two reasons are one of the main reasons Deshaun Jackson

241
00:11:41,760 –> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: is so good in the NFL. This guy is really smart.

242
00:11:45,200 –> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 2: He’s really really smart, and he’s ready to handle a

243
00:11:48,000 –> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: lot in the NFL. I think because he did a

244
00:11:50,000 –> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 2: lot at Texas. He didn’t just have one role at Texas. Again,

245
00:11:53,200 –> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: he wasn’t just go route guy. He could have been,

246
00:11:55,600 –> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 2: he would have been amazing at that, but he was

247
00:11:57,160 –> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 2: so much more. And also he wants to keep going

248
00:12:00,040 –> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 2: all day at practice. Like everything we’ve gathered about him

249
00:12:02,960 –> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: is that he does not want to stop a lot

250
00:12:04,880 –> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: of players they’re really good at football, they don’t feel

251
00:12:07,160 –> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 2: like they need to go practice, they don’t worry about that.

252
00:12:09,640 –> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 2: That’s not him. He is a player that wants to

253
00:12:11,600 –> 00:12:13,839
Speaker 2: keep getting better at all times. Who’s that remind you

254
00:12:13,880 –> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: of guys like Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey. So he’ll

255
00:12:16,559 –> 00:12:19,079
Speaker 2: fit right in in that regard. And I also think

256
00:12:19,080 –> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 2: he’s durable. The one hundred and fifty five pounds. You

257
00:12:21,920 –> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: look at that you wonder like, oh, is he like

258
00:12:23,840 –> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: injury prone? He never missed a game in college, Like

259
00:12:26,679 –> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: we have that data. He’s tough, and we talk to

260
00:12:28,920 –> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: people around the building, around the league. He’s a tough player.

261
00:12:31,920 –> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: That’s one of his attributes. So even though he’s not

262
00:12:35,440 –> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 2: very big, he’s a player that has toughness. He’s super smart,

263
00:12:38,480 –> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 2: he’s incredibly fast, and he’s very talented. Again, I’m just

264
00:12:41,559 –> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: very excited about this pick. I think he’s an awesome

265
00:12:44,360 –> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: fit here with the Chiefs.

266
00:12:46,160 –> 00:12:49,160
Speaker 1: And mentally and emotionally, remember the twenty two class I

267
00:12:49,240 –> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: kept saying they were so mentally and emotionally and mature.

268
00:12:52,000 –> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: You get that with Xavier Worthy, the fact that he

269
00:12:55,000 –> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: was elected captain four times. I think that we had

270
00:12:58,440 –> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: done some due diligence with Steve’s accusing his coach who

271
00:13:01,600 –> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: was the reason he went to Texas. He’s from Fresne, California, right, like,

272
00:13:04,760 –> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: how did you get from Fresene Austin? I asked him

273
00:13:06,480 –> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: the day before you and I were kind of chopping

274
00:13:08,480 –> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: it up with him, and he said, sorry, yeah, that’s it.

275
00:13:11,200 –> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: So our guys have a good relationship. I think it’s like,

276
00:13:14,440 –> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: what are we getting with him? And again checking all

277
00:13:16,520 –> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: the boxes. So it’s exciting. Let’s move on because the

278
00:13:19,880 –> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 1: second pick and the Chiefs move up just to Tad

279
00:13:22,559 –> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: in the second round as Kingsley sue ama atilla, so

280
00:13:28,080 –> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: suama I had.

281
00:13:34,640 –> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: The kingdoms doing it with us.

282
00:13:36,080 –> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: Suamata Kingsley, so that fifth syllable, it’s actually five syllables.

283
00:13:43,200 –> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: Suamata eya is the way he says it. Thanks to

284
00:13:46,200 –> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: Mike Keith and the Tennessee Titans. He asked him straight up,

285
00:13:49,080 –> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: like dude, help us out, and then Kingsley laid it

286
00:13:52,200 –> 00:13:56,439
Speaker 1: out there. But let’s talk about this pick because versatility

287
00:13:56,480 –> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 1: on the offensive line with the tackles included come to

288
00:14:00,360 –> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: mind here that in athleticism with Kingsley, is he a

289
00:14:03,480 –> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: work in progress? Yes? Is Was he listed as the

290
00:14:06,960 –> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: top tackles that taken at the beginning of this draft. No?

291
00:14:10,200 –> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 1: Does he have a high ceiling? Yes? And when you

292
00:14:12,960 –> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: look at his athleticism and his ability to run block

293
00:14:15,880 –> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: in specific, you can just see where let me turn

294
00:14:19,680 –> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: this guy loose. Let’s see what he can do, starting

295
00:14:21,760 –> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: with rookie minicot. He has good size. He’s six foot five,

296
00:14:25,040 –> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: three hundred and twenty six pounds. You mentioned the athleticism.

297
00:14:28,360 –> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 2: Assistant general manager Mike Borgwannes, he talked about that last

298
00:14:31,040 –> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 2: night after we took him. He said that he usually

299
00:14:33,840 –> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: doesn’t see players with that size be able to move

300
00:14:36,840 –> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: as light on their feet as Kingsley does. So he

301
00:14:39,720 –> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 2: has great athleticism, good size. He’s young, just twenty one

302
00:14:43,400 –> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 2: years old, just turned twenty one in January, so has

303
00:14:47,040 –> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 2: a lot of football ahead of him, a lot of

304
00:14:49,040 –> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 2: opportunities to get better in this league. You mentioned the

305
00:14:52,240 –> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: run blocking. Dan Brugler’s draft guide is one of my favorites,

306
00:14:55,120 –> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: has lots of great info in there. This is one

307
00:14:57,160 –> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 2: of my favorite lines in the entire draft guide. He

308
00:15:00,160 –> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: says that Kingsley delivers more pancakes than Denny’s. It doesn’t

309
00:15:04,400 –> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: get better than that. That’s just awesome. My favorite thing

310
00:15:06,760 –> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: though about Kingsley the versatility he has starting experience at

311
00:15:11,080 –> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 2: both right tackle and left tackle. It’s hard to do

312
00:15:14,640 –> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 2: both of those things. It might be simple, like, hey,

313
00:15:17,000 –> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: you play left tackle, it should be easy, just bounce

314
00:15:19,080 –> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 2: over to right tackle. It’s not. You’re doing it the

315
00:15:21,160 –> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: opposite of everything. It’s difficult. And a lot of players

316
00:15:24,320 –> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: in this year’s draft they were just right tackles in college.

317
00:15:27,560 –> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: If you have the experience of at least playing both

318
00:15:29,880 –> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 2: of those positions, makes you a prime candidate to be

319
00:15:33,080 –> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: maybe a swing tackle here in Kansas City with big

320
00:15:35,600 –> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 2: time upside to develop into a lot more so, I

321
00:15:38,200 –> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 2: love that versatility. Eras pointing up for Kingsley.

322
00:15:41,600 –> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: Suamanta Ea Suwamataia and the video that went viral last

323
00:15:46,160 –> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: night is crazy where he jumps out of the pool.

324
00:15:48,760 –> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: He’s jumping out of the pool. He’s underwater, jumping out of.

325
00:15:51,480 –> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 2: The pool in the deep water too.

326
00:15:53,440 –> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: And kids don’t try it at home, no swimming lessons

327
00:15:55,880 –> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: and go, hey, Kingsley.

328
00:15:56,760 –> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: Did it, So I hurt myself watching that.

329
00:16:00,440 –> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: What was that? AI? I thought? But no, it was real. Right.

330
00:16:03,760 –> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 1: The next pick, and another reason to be excited is

331
00:16:06,840 –> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: Jared Wiley, tight end out of TCU, started his career

332
00:16:09,480 –> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 1: at Texas, so he would have been right with the

333
00:16:12,400 –> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: Xavier Worthy. I finding it more out about this guy

334
00:16:15,760 –> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 1: because it gets a little close to home. My son

335
00:16:18,280 –> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: coached in Belton, Texas. My granddaughter was born in Temple, Texas,

336
00:16:22,440 –> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: where her mother was doing a residency as a doctor

337
00:16:25,600 –> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 1: at Scott and White in Temple, Texas. Jared’s sister actually

338
00:16:29,520 –> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: went to Belton High School. The family’s from Belton, but

339
00:16:32,400 –> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 1: Jared decided to go to Temple High School. He went

340
00:16:34,480 –> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: to UT but then transferred to TCU. When you watch

341
00:16:39,000 –> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: the video of Jared Wiley, you see a lot. It

342
00:16:44,520 –> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: reminds me a lot of a Blake Bell. There’s power here.

343
00:16:48,240 –> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: He’s a massive human when you look at six six

344
00:16:51,000 –> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 1: and two fifty, but he’s also very athletic. What pops

345
00:16:54,600 –> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: off about Jared Wiley is his production in the red

346
00:16:58,720 –> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 1: zone in specific touchdowns five eight receiving touchdowns among the

347
00:17:05,480 –> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 1: leaders right and FBS for tight ends, but five red

348
00:17:08,280 –> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: zone touchdowns that is music to the ears of the

349
00:17:11,440 –> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs kingdom. When you look at a tight end room

350
00:17:13,560 –> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: that of course includes Travis Kelce and No Gray.

351
00:17:16,600 –> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 2: And you’re right, both of those numbers led all FBS

352
00:17:19,320 –> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 2: tight ends. So eight touchdowns last year overall led all

353
00:17:22,320 –> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 2: FBS tight ends and five of those in the red

354
00:17:24,400 –> 00:17:28,400
Speaker 2: zone also led all FBS tight ends. Good production. Last year.

355
00:17:28,440 –> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 2: He had forty seven catches for five hundred and twenty

356
00:17:30,600 –> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: yards and the eight touchdowns. I think Chiefs fans will

357
00:17:33,880 –> 00:17:36,800
Speaker 2: like this. One hundred and twenty targets in his career

358
00:17:37,160 –> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 2: one drop. He’s described as a vacuum velcrow Hans just

359
00:17:40,720 –> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: one drop on one hundred and twenty targets. Love that

360
00:17:43,680 –> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 2: and also kind of has some sneaky speed. Everybody you

361
00:17:46,480 –> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 2: talk to Jason Lamb, one of the Chiefs area scouts,

362
00:17:49,200 –> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: he mentioned that specifically, said, just some real sneaky speed

363
00:17:52,119 –> 00:17:53,719
Speaker 2: with this guy. You think when a player is six

364
00:17:53,800 –> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 2: foot six, two hundred and fifty pounds, they’re probably just

365
00:17:56,840 –> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: a blocker. They’re probably just a guy on the line

366
00:17:58,760 –> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 2: of scrimmage, an old school tied end and glorified offensive lineman.

367
00:18:02,280 –> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 2: That’s really not him. He can really do both. He

368
00:18:04,320 –> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 2: has sneaky speed, particularly up the seam, and he had

369
00:18:07,640 –> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: three catches of over twenty air yards just last season

370
00:18:10,720 –> 00:18:12,959
Speaker 2: at TCU, So exciting to see what he can do.

371
00:18:13,160 –> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: I think right away he makes a lot of sense

372
00:18:14,760 –> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 2: in the red zone. It’s a big, big player in

373
00:18:16,600 –> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: the red zone, running like a post rout of corner route,

374
00:18:20,040 –> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 2: and I think a big target who can muscle the

375
00:18:21,880 –> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 2: ball over a dB.

376
00:18:23,840 –> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 1: Again to your point about him being sneaky athletic, watch

377
00:18:27,200 –> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: his eighty one yard touchdown against Baylor. Baylor blows coverage.

378
00:18:30,320 –> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 1: All right, he’s not beaten some safety. They blow coverage,

379
00:18:33,720 –> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: but Baylor also doesn’t catch up with him in that game.

380
00:18:36,920 –> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: In fact, it was a career high in his single

381
00:18:39,560 –> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: game receiving yards by a TCU tight end against Baylor

382
00:18:42,320 –> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: with one hundred and seventy eight yards. So there’s also

383
00:18:44,359 –> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: productivity there, not only the red zone, but out on

384
00:18:47,320 –> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: the field. Also a willing and able blocker. When you

385
00:18:49,680 –> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 1: see his frame, you’ll understand how he’ll be a good

386
00:18:52,800 –> 00:18:55,880
Speaker 1: addition to the tight end room, run game, and passing game.

387
00:18:55,920 –> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: I saw Tom Melvin tight ends coach. I said, you know, congratulations,

388
00:18:59,400 –> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 1: wait to go. Like Jared, he goes another high school quarterback.

389
00:19:03,240 –> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: He goes, we’ve got another high school quarterback. Think of

390
00:19:05,240 –> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: that room and the high school quarterbacks in there. He goes,

391
00:19:07,760 –> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 1: he’ll fit right in. So he was. It tells you

392
00:19:10,840 –> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: of athleticism. Jared was the high school quarterback for the Temple,

393
00:19:14,640 –> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: Texas Wildcats. But we’re excited to see what he can

394
00:19:17,960 –> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: do and just be it’s something of need to have

395
00:19:22,440 –> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: a third tight end that can do the characteristics we

396
00:19:25,320 –> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: just laid up.

397
00:19:25,960 –> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: We also learned that Xavier Worthy was a high school

398
00:19:28,080 –> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 2: quarterback for one year. He could throw the football as well.

399
00:19:30,680 –> 00:19:32,880
Speaker 2: So lots of high school quarterbacks in the chief’s locker room.

400
00:19:33,280 –> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 2: But I’m with you on Jared Wiley. Just an athletic

401
00:19:36,040 –> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: player who can do a little bit of both. He’s

402
00:19:38,359 –> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: not just a big blocker, He’s not just your giant

403
00:19:41,840 –> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 2: wide receiver move tight end. He’s kind of both and

404
00:19:44,760 –> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: can help you in both areas. So interested to see

405
00:19:47,960 –> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 2: what he can do this season. Another value pick as well.

406
00:19:50,400 –> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 2: Looking at Dan Bruger’s board, he was the number eighty

407
00:19:52,960 –> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 2: nine player overall, number four tight end on his board,

408
00:19:57,160 –> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: and we got him at one thirty one. Is it

409
00:19:58,840 –> 00:19:59,200
Speaker 2: not bad?

410
00:20:00,160 –> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: And a one thirty three I’m really excited. We announced

411
00:20:04,200 –> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 1: this from the stage in front of the thousands and

412
00:20:07,000 –> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: thousands of fans of Draft Fest. But Jaden Hicks of

413
00:20:11,080 –> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: Washington State, good old Wazoo at the fourth in the

414
00:20:14,680 –> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: fourth round. Take some time and watch his video. Not

415
00:20:19,119 –> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: sure yet why he dropped. Some of the prognostication was

416
00:20:23,240 –> 00:20:26,159
Speaker 1: that he would grow out of a safety body and

417
00:20:26,359 –> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: become a linebacker. When you look at he’s six ‘

418
00:20:28,760 –> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: to two, he’s two fifteen. Just watch him. I’ve got

419
00:20:33,040 –> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: to be careful here not to comp him, uh, because

420
00:20:36,119 –> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: Lugeria Sneed probably had more athleticism coming out of Louisiana tack.

421
00:20:40,040 –> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 1: But he fits right in with a Brian Cook. He

422
00:20:43,240 –> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: can play the slot, he blitzes, he has good ball skills.

423
00:20:46,880 –> 00:20:50,159
Speaker 1: Watch his game against Colorado State uh, and a very

424
00:20:50,200 –> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: athletic play in the flat that just is not always

425
00:20:54,400 –> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: made by defenders. When you his athleticism, uh, and he’ll

426
00:20:59,800 –> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 1: hit man. He is coming downhill for you. When you

427
00:21:02,359 –> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: look at what he did at thirty seven yard pick

428
00:21:04,119 –> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 1: six in that same Colorado State game. I got text

429
00:21:07,320 –> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: from around the Kingdom like this looks like a very

430
00:21:09,600 –> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: spags spagsy and pick I couldn’t agree more. I’m really

431
00:21:14,040 –> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 1: excited about Hicks and what he can do in this defense.

432
00:21:17,359 –> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 2: Do you think Jayden Hicks knows you from your time

433
00:21:19,520 –> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: as Washington State’s head coach in SETUPLA Football fourteen.

434
00:21:22,600 –> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: I need to tell him that we got to the

435
00:21:23,960 –> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: Rose Bowl. It was River cray Craft. He may have

436
00:21:26,359 –> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 1: to defend River cray Kraft. We don’t play Miami in

437
00:21:28,920 –> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: the regular season, but it could be in the playoffs.

438
00:21:30,840 –> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: But yes, we’ll talk about those great Wazoo moments of

439
00:21:34,640 –> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: me running on the field in the Rose Bowl, actually

440
00:21:37,000 –> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: in front of my digital guys, played with such heart,

441
00:21:40,040 –> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: and in Martin Stadium winning the Pac twelve.

442
00:21:42,960 –> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 2: Jayden Hicks is going to meet S and B like

443
00:21:44,520 –> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 2: these guys are crazy, weird.

444
00:21:46,440 –> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: These guys are weird.

445
00:21:48,160 –> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: But I’m with you, really exciting a pick. Speaking of value,

446
00:21:52,000 –> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 2: looking at Dane Brugler’s board again, he was the number

447
00:21:54,320 –> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 2: thirty nine player on Dan Brugler’s board and the number

448
00:21:57,480 –> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 2: one safety. We got him all the way at one

449
00:21:59,880 –> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 2: thirty three. The size is interesting at six two two fifteen,

450
00:22:04,240 –> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 2: has kind of a strong safety build, but he’s not

451
00:22:06,880 –> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 2: just a strong safety. He’s really versatile. Did lots of

452
00:22:09,840 –> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: different things at Wazoo. He had four hundred and fifty

453
00:22:12,359 –> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: six snaps in the box last year, so kind of

454
00:22:14,760 –> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 2: that strong safety mold, but also two hundred snaps as

455
00:22:17,440 –> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 2: a deep safety so he can cover play center field,

456
00:22:20,320 –> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 2: and one hundred and three snaps over the slot. And

457
00:22:23,200 –> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 2: look at all of his production last year. He fills

458
00:22:25,520 –> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 2: the stat sheet. He had seventy nine tackles, six tackles

459
00:22:28,560 –> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 2: for loss, six passes defensed, two and a half sacks,

460
00:22:31,359 –> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 2: two interceptions, and a forced fumble. I’m not making a

461
00:22:34,920 –> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: direct comparison here because they’re very different players, particularly in

462
00:22:38,280 –> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 2: their build, but that kind of statline reminds me of

463
00:22:41,800 –> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 2: Tyron Matthew and a player that’s just going to do

464
00:22:44,160 –> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of different things. He’s going to blit

465
00:22:46,400 –> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: someone snap. The next snap he’s covering the slot, next

466
00:22:48,840 –> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: snap he’s covering deep and picks a pass off forty

467
00:22:51,600 –> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 2: yards down the field. You have to be a great

468
00:22:54,000 –> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: athlete to do that kind of thing, to be kind

469
00:22:56,040 –> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 2: of this ultimate chess piece, and Jadan Hicks can be

470
00:22:59,200 –> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 2: that guy. You look at how good this defense was

471
00:23:01,680 –> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: last year. It was the best defense in the NFL

472
00:23:04,040 –> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 2: in my opinion. I know it was neck and neck

473
00:23:05,760 –> 00:23:08,160
Speaker 2: with Baltimore the whole way. Technically, Baltimore had the better

474
00:23:08,240 –> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 2: numbers at the very end, barely, but considering we beat

475
00:23:10,760 –> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 2: Baltimore in the playoffs, I consider our defense the best

476
00:23:13,400 –> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 2: defense in the NFL last year. And adding a player

477
00:23:17,200 –> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 2: like this who’s athletic, who can play multiple positions and

478
00:23:20,640 –> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 2: do different things for you and kind of cause havoc

479
00:23:23,440 –> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: in different ways defensively, it’s very exciting. And I know

480
00:23:26,920 –> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 2: Steves Bagnolo, you know, you go three offensive players to

481
00:23:30,400 –> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 2: begin the draft, He’s like, what are we doing here? Well,

482
00:23:33,040 –> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 2: you add this player. He’s probably very excited.

483
00:23:36,000 –> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 1: This man just can’t wait to see this guy turn

484
00:23:39,400 –> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: it loose and fit into that room with those other

485
00:23:42,080 –> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: dbs because he’s he’s right in there with those guys

486
00:23:45,080 –> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 1: and what he does and how he does it. And

487
00:23:46,480 –> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: another guy that loves to play football. It sounds cliches

488
00:23:50,320 –> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 1: or like, come on, no more than ever NFL guys

489
00:23:53,560 –> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: and our guys are looking this Why Xavier Worth is

490
00:23:56,119 –> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 1: exciting because he loves to play football. Some guys do

491
00:23:59,440 –> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: this for reasons maybe other than that they love to

492
00:24:02,520 –> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: play football. Hicks loves to play football, so it is

493
00:24:05,600 –> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 1: worthy in fact this class comes to mind. Let’s go

494
00:24:08,600 –> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: to these as we close it out the final two picks,

495
00:24:11,280 –> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: and let’s see if zero sacks in three hundred and

496
00:24:13,400 –> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: ninety eight pass block attempts our past block snaps gets

497
00:24:16,880 –> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: your attention or one of five power five centers to

498
00:24:20,440 –> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: not allow a sack. In twenty twenty three, Hunter Norris

499
00:24:24,240 –> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: d of Penn State was the Nitney Lions center. Kind

500
00:24:28,080 –> 00:24:30,399
Speaker 1: of a leader on a good offensive line with those guys,

501
00:24:30,880 –> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: but he was the comparison here the Creed Humphrey of

502
00:24:34,960 –> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: the Penn State Nidney Lions.

503
00:24:36,880 –> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 2: And versatility is the big thing. I don’t know how

504
00:24:39,000 –> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 2: many time it’s going to say versatility on this podcast,

505
00:24:41,320 –> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 2: but that’s kind of the theme of this draft. But

506
00:24:43,520 –> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 2: this guy is versatile. So he has forty four career

507
00:24:46,520 –> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 2: starts between Cornell and Penn State. He transferred from Cornell

508
00:24:50,400 –> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 2: after four years there. Listen to all these different places.

509
00:24:53,400 –> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: He played twenty starts at right tackle, thirteen starts at

510
00:24:56,840 –> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 2: center that was last year, seven starts at left guard,

511
00:24:59,640 –> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 2: and one start at right guard. The guy I immediately

512
00:25:03,000 –> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 2: think of here is Nick Allagretty. Think how valuable Nick

513
00:25:05,800 –> 00:25:08,440
Speaker 2: Allaghretty was to this team and from humble beginnings. Nick

514
00:25:08,440 –> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 2: Allegretty was a seventh round pick way back in twenty nineteen,

515
00:25:11,600 –> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: goes on to fill every single role. We’d watch practice

516
00:25:14,440 –> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: sometimes and Nick Alla Gretty would do this thing where

517
00:25:17,119 –> 00:25:20,840
Speaker 2: he would rotate in with the ones at every single

518
00:25:20,840 –> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 2: position for one rep. So he would rotate in at

519
00:25:23,160 –> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 2: left tackle, then come out, rotate in at left guard,

520
00:25:25,680 –> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 2: then come out, then go out at center. That is

521
00:25:28,359 –> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: so valuable to have because if things like what happened

522
00:25:31,640 –> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 2: last year occur where you lose Joe Tuney, the best

523
00:25:34,160 –> 00:25:36,879
Speaker 2: guard in the NFL before the Super Bowl, all of

524
00:25:36,920 –> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 2: a sudden, you can have a guy like Nick Alla

525
00:25:38,560 –> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 2: Gretty go in there and play really well. Nobody panics. Well,

526
00:25:42,640 –> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 2: obviously Hunter has to earn that right, earn that job,

527
00:25:45,200 –> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: and earn that reputation. But he has the makeup of

528
00:25:47,800 –> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: a player that can maybe do that because he has

529
00:25:49,840 –> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 2: this versatility. So that’s the big thing when I’m looking

530
00:25:52,359 –> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 2: at Hunter Norsad is just this versatile background has me

531
00:25:55,359 –> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 2: very excited and.

532
00:25:56,560 –> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: Think of the big games Penn State has played the

533
00:25:58,440 –> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 1: last two seasons, a lot of them. Yeah, twenty four

534
00:26:01,000 –> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: games for Hunter and only three penalties in those two

535
00:26:04,760 –> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 1: seasons as the center for the Penn State Nitney Lyons

536
00:26:08,280 –> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: and again the Cornell transfer.

537
00:26:10,200 –> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: Before I move on to he’s also like a genius.

538
00:26:12,560 –> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 2: Did you read about that? I did not, So we

539
00:26:15,480 –> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: learned about this.

540
00:26:16,280 –> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: He’ll fit right in. So justin reading here to.

541
00:26:18,600 –> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 2: Have like apparently, so he’s an engineering graduate from Cornell,

542
00:26:23,960 –> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 2: which is impressive on its own right. Apparently when he

543
00:26:27,800 –> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 2: was being recruited by FBS schools to transfer and Penn

544
00:26:31,880 –> 00:26:35,439
Speaker 2: State eventually won out, the Penn State engineering department was

545
00:26:35,480 –> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 2: also recruiting him just as hard as the football program was.

546
00:26:39,520 –> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 2: He’s like a genius.

547
00:26:40,840 –> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: So yeah, well we’ve got an engineer here that could

548
00:26:45,760 –> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 1: fit right in somewhere. Mitchell Schwartz is going, I got

549
00:26:48,359 –> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 1: to meet this guy. Yeah, and a Rubik’s cube off,

550
00:26:52,800 –> 00:26:56,359
Speaker 1: yeah yeah, just wait that offensive line room and created

551
00:26:56,440 –> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 1: Humphrey and Trey Smith are going, you’re an Antuoni will

552
00:26:59,200 –> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: go like, you’re an engineer, uh huh. So it’s just

553
00:27:03,040 –> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 1: interesting to see in the versatility really playing all those spots.

554
00:27:06,200 –> 00:27:09,640
Speaker 1: And then finally, if I know, we’ve got Kamal Had

555
00:27:09,640 –> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: and I want to mention too, the corner out of Tennessee. Okay,

556
00:27:12,840 –> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: you know I love to talk about the Jayhawk Juco

557
00:27:14,800 –> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: Conference Independence Community College, the Pirates down there in the

558
00:27:20,160 –> 00:27:22,919
Speaker 1: southeast portion of the state. Remember Last Chance you made

559
00:27:23,000 –> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: him famous, and Kamal came out of that program. He

560
00:27:27,359 –> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: was also at Auburn for a while, some time at

561
00:27:29,600 –> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: Central Michigan. But he’s right there for your grandpa and

562
00:27:32,359 –> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: your mom as a Tennessee volunteer.

563
00:27:34,760 –> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: Govall’s baby.

564
00:27:36,119 –> 00:27:39,199
Speaker 1: What gets your attention here? Again, the Pro Football Focus

565
00:27:39,280 –> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: coverage grade is fifth in the FBS for this guy.

566
00:27:43,160 –> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: Because Kamal was ninety point four coverage grade with Pro

567
00:27:48,480 –> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: Football Focus. That’s top five of any corner think about

568
00:27:51,359 –> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: the corners in this draft from a Power five school.

569
00:27:55,080 –> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 1: So that’s impressive been of itself. I want to see

570
00:27:57,680 –> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: where he also can turn it loose in that dB room.

571
00:28:01,680 –> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: This is a player that if he didn’t get hurt

572
00:28:03,680 –> 00:28:06,439
Speaker 2: last season, probably would have gotten drafted a lot higher.

573
00:28:06,560 –> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 2: He missed the last six games of the year due

574
00:28:08,320 –> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 2: to his shoulder injury, but he was just bawling out

575
00:28:11,240 –> 00:28:13,679
Speaker 2: before he got hurt. The PFF grade is one of

576
00:28:13,680 –> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 2: the metrics that indicates that. Also, just the basic numbers,

577
00:28:17,600 –> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: he led Tennessee and passes defense and interceptions last year,

578
00:28:20,840 –> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 2: despite missing six games, he was targeted thirty three times

579
00:28:24,560 –> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: on the season. He allowed just twelve catches for ninety

580
00:28:28,080 –> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 2: six yards on one hundred and eighty four covered snaps,

581
00:28:30,920 –> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: only allowed one catch of fifteen or more yards, So

582
00:28:34,280 –> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 2: no big plays against this guy. He had eleven passes

583
00:28:37,480 –> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 2: defense through mid October before he got hurt. That was

584
00:28:39,960 –> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 2: second most in the FBS. So he was getting targeted

585
00:28:43,000 –> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: and challenged and consistently he was winning and teams weren’t

586
00:28:45,720 –> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 2: able to move the football on him. He also had

587
00:28:48,000 –> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 2: the top Next Gen Stats production score of any dB

588
00:28:51,360 –> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 2: at the combine. I’ll be honest, I don’t really know

589
00:28:53,440 –> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 2: what that means, but whenever you’re number one and something

590
00:28:55,600 –> 00:28:58,800
Speaker 2: like that, it’s pretty good. So his production was really impressive.

591
00:28:58,840 –> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 2: He just got hurt. This guy’s had a lot of

592
00:29:00,320 –> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 2: bad luck in his life, had some injuries during his

593
00:29:03,400 –> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 2: career at Tennessee. But when he’s been on the field,

594
00:29:06,080 –> 00:29:08,880
Speaker 2: he is an incredible athlete and he’s been productive. And

595
00:29:08,920 –> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 2: what do you do later in the draft? You bring

596
00:29:11,480 –> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 2: in players that you see their tools and their attributes,

597
00:29:14,240 –> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 2: and your coaching staff says, I can work with that.

598
00:29:16,280 –> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 2: So that’s the deal with Kamal Ahaden.

599
00:29:18,440 –> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: Get another Spags type looking defensive back. When you look

600
00:29:21,680 –> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: at his metrics six ‘ to one one ninety two,

601
00:29:24,560 –> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: didn’t blaze the forty four five seven not maybe another

602
00:29:27,840 –> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: reason why he drops, but his functional speed and strength

603
00:29:31,400 –> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 1: on the field, you can ask volunteer fans, is very,

604
00:29:33,760 –> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: very noteworthy. And then finally as we close it out, CJ. Hansen,

605
00:29:36,920 –> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: if you’re a fan of holy Cross, you love this pick.

606
00:29:40,720 –> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: Archie’s Kingdom fans of holy Cross. He was picked in

607
00:29:44,360 –> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 1: the seventh round, but another offensive lineman. Again, don’t sleep

608
00:29:47,960 –> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: on these guys right when you look at him big,

609
00:29:51,360 –> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: He’s spent a lot of time stayed at holy Cross,

610
00:29:54,200 –> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 1: which is impressive to me. Played thirteen games in twenty one,

611
00:29:57,280 –> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: thirteen and twenty two and eleven and twenty three. Yes

612
00:30:00,040 –> 00:30:02,360
Speaker 1: it’s an FCS school. Yes he only had three games

613
00:30:02,400 –> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: against FBS opponents BC Buffalo and Yukon, but still some

614
00:30:07,920 –> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: pretty good football played in that conference. And for CJ. Hansen,

615
00:30:11,480 –> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: hey turn it loose man with the seventh round picks

616
00:30:13,880 –> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: who have been productive for us, We’ll see, but it

617
00:30:16,760 –> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: feels like a crock pot guy and to see where

618
00:30:19,320 –> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: he’ll fit in along the offensive line, or again, another

619
00:30:23,080 –> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: versatile guy that has multiple traits.

620
00:30:25,560 –> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 2: Thirty eight starts at right guard during his career at

621
00:30:28,120 –> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 2: Holy Cross, just a lot of experience playing on the

622
00:30:30,920 –> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: inside of the offensive line. I think interior offensive line

623
00:30:34,720 –> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 2: was a priority for the Chiefs this offseason, and a

624
00:30:37,480 –> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 2: big part of that is losing Nick Alli. Gretti doesn’t

625
00:30:40,000 –> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 2: seem like a huge deal on the surface, he’s not

626
00:30:41,920 –> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: an every game starter, but it is a huge deal

627
00:30:44,320 –> 00:30:47,479
Speaker 2: because offensive linemen get hurt and you have to have

628
00:30:47,480 –> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: players that can step in there and you don’t miss

629
00:30:49,520 –> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 2: a beat. And clearly by adding both Hanson and Hunter,

630
00:30:54,080 –> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 2: Norsrad Norzad, you want to have continuity. You want to

631
00:30:59,160 –> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 2: have players who are versu who can step in there

632
00:31:01,360 –> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 2: and play good football along the offensive line. That’s why

633
00:31:04,160 –> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 2: you bring in CJ. Hansen again playing in an FCS school,

634
00:31:07,280 –> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 2: not faced a ton of really great competition in his life.

635
00:31:10,080 –> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 2: But you look at the traits, you look at the player,

636
00:31:11,880 –> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 2: you look at the athleticism, and you look at his

637
00:31:14,000 –> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: technique and you say, I can work with that. So

638
00:31:16,360 –> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 2: excited to see what he can do and we’ll see

639
00:31:18,640 –> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 2: how it shakes out here. When OTAs begin in just

640
00:31:20,680 –> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks. Hard to believe, huh.

641
00:31:22,720 –> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: And the culture of that room with the O line

642
00:31:25,200 –> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: room is one of nurturing and one of teaching. Not

643
00:31:28,440 –> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: only are they taught well by Andy Hack, but they

644
00:31:30,600 –> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: teach each other. And that’s where Cred Humphrey and Tray

645
00:31:33,080 –> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 1: Smith come into play. They’re just you know, we talked

646
00:31:35,520 –> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: about we did a whole podcast on Offensive Line University,

647
00:31:38,640 –> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: and those guys, whether it’s jan Yer Morris or the

648
00:31:41,720 –> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 1: guys in this rookie class, they enter a room that

649
00:31:44,840 –> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 1: we’ll be teaching each other as we move forward. Yes,

650
00:31:48,360 –> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: it’s very exciting, Matt. Let’s just close it here. But

651
00:31:51,080 –> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 1: now all of a sudden we get ready for rookie

652
00:31:52,800 –> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: mini camp and the start of things, and then OTA

653
00:31:56,880 –> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: start start to really kick in. Now in going into

654
00:31:59,760 –> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: the next couple of phases. So yes, ladies and gentlemen,

655
00:32:03,720 –> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 1: the class of twenty twenty four.

656
00:32:05,360 –> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 2: One final comment, Well, I was gonna mention, isn’t it

657
00:32:08,240 –> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 2: just crazy that Creed and Trey they are the wiley veterans.

658
00:32:12,400 –> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 2: Now they’re the two times Super Bowl champions that these

659
00:32:15,440 –> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: young offensive linemen will follow. I mean, I feel like

660
00:32:17,600 –> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 2: we were just doing our podcast recapping the twenty twenty

661
00:32:21,000 –> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: one draft talking about those players and what they could

662
00:32:22,920 –> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 2: turn into, and it’s pretty amazing what they have and

663
00:32:26,240 –> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 2: it’s good perspective on this year’s draft. I mean, yeah,

664
00:32:29,280 –> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 2: we got Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelcey and Chris Jones,

665
00:32:31,760 –> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 2: but you have to keep hitting in the draft in

666
00:32:33,600 –> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 2: order to continue this run of dominance to keep the

667
00:32:36,480 –> 00:32:39,240
Speaker 2: Chiefs as the best team in the NFL. And I

668
00:32:39,320 –> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: just really like this class so far. They got to

669
00:32:41,160 –> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: go out there and play. But it’s exciting and also

670
00:32:44,240 –> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 2: the process is just getting started here because now it’s

671
00:32:47,440 –> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 2: UDFA season. Be glued to Twitter see what udfas are

672
00:32:51,200 –> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: going to be signing with the Chiefs because, like you said,

673
00:32:53,720 –> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 2: Murcky Minnie camp is in one week, you’ll have your

674
00:32:57,120 –> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: draft picks out there, but also probably fifteen to twenty

675
00:33:01,040 –> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 2: and about fifty tryout players will be out there, and

676
00:33:04,320 –> 00:33:06,719
Speaker 2: don’t sell those guys short. Every year one of those

677
00:33:06,760 –> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 2: tryout players ends up making the team or having a

678
00:33:09,080 –> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: shot to make the team. Last year it was echo

679
00:33:10,880 –> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 2: boydo at corner. The process of finding the players that

680
00:33:14,320 –> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: will make up this team and go for this three peat.

681
00:33:17,040 –> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 2: We’re deep into it now, but we’re not done.

682
00:33:20,120 –> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: And Echo Boydos getting a Super Bowl Championship ring and

683
00:33:23,880 –> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: he just drove in here one day and said, hey,

684
00:33:25,560 –> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 1: can I try it out? So he’s a valuable guy.

685
00:33:28,920 –> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 1: But value in this class. Ladies and gentlemen just continue

686
00:33:33,520 –> 00:33:35,680
Speaker 1: to look these guys up and do some more research.

687
00:33:35,720 –> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: But for Matt marmul and I Mitch Oltis, Welcome now
