There might 31 00:01:52.319 --> 00:01:54.959 be some pundits out there. One in particular, who I 32 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.879 will not name because I respect his work and I 33 00:01:57.879 --> 00:01:59.640 don't know if he's been to Green Bay before. I 34 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:02.079 don't know he's ever been to Green Bay seems to 35 00:02:02.120 --> 00:02:04.159 go out of his way on all of his shows 36 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:06.680 to trash green Bay, trash the people of green Bay, 37 00:02:06.760 --> 00:02:09.000 trash the city of green Bay. I've been there many 38 00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:12.479 a time. Granted I live in Appleton, Wisconsin, which is 39 00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:17.719 about two Jordan Love Hail Mary Throws southwest of green Bay. 40 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.159 I love it here. I think it's great. I think 41 00:02:20.199 --> 00:02:22.919 the draft is going to be fun. I've already made 42 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.120 plans to go to it all three days, Thursday, Friday, 43 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:28.199 and Saturday, bringing my son up for all three days, 44 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.719 hanging out with some friends up there. It's gonna be legendary. 45 00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.400 This is going to be one of the biggest events 46 00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:38.280 the state of Wisconsin has ever hosted.

I find it weird for people. 50 00:02:48.439 --> 00:02:51.560 And if that gentleman or anybody else's trash in Green Bay. 51 00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:53.319 And I hate to make this, I hate to bring 52 00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:54.840 this up on the show, to lead it off all 53 00:02:54.879 --> 00:02:57.960 the time, but if you've never been to Green Bay, probably. 54 00:02:57.680 --> 00:02:58.319 Don't trash it. 55 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:03.039 Probably experience at first, and then give your honest opinion, 56 00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:04.840 and if it sucks for you, then it sucks for you. 57 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.199 But I like it here. I think it's great and 58 00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:08.800 I'm not going to trash it. I think it's gonna 59 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:11.759 be a lot of fun my two cents. Everybody else 60 00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:16.280 is entitled to their own informed opinions. If you're uninformed misinformed, 61 00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:20.639 probably keep your mouth shut.

I enjoyed your comments about the 131 00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:34.279 draft and you said something like, I won't be negative 132 00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.319 about the draft or something. Why are you hearing some 133 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.839 pushback in the Green Bay area about the draft or 134 00:06:39.879 --> 00:06:40.600 you're not welcome? 135 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:44.319 No, Like I was talking with, I ran into the 136 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.040 local radio station I work at. We have six radio 137 00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.639 stations in the megaplex in the building, and that Wasaplex 138 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:51.360 the Megaplex. 139 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:52.639 Impressed. 140 00:06:52.879 --> 00:06:55.839 I was talking with one of the DJs from our 141 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.079 hard rock station and he said, are you pumped up 142 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:00.959 for the draft? And I said, well, there's a lot 143 00:07:00.959 --> 00:07:02.759 of stuff I got going on for the draft, a 144 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:04.920 lot of responsibilities. I'll be glad when it's over, but 145 00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:08.519 I'm really looking forward to experiencing it. I've been at 146 00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:11.040 the draft in Chicago twice, but I said, like, I 147 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:13.720 kind of want it to be over and he said, Yeah, 148 00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:16.360 that's kind of the feeling I'm getting right now because 149 00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:19.399 everybody in northeast Wisconsin. Pharrell has been going hard on 150 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:22.240 the planning and making sure everybody who is coming here 151 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:24.560 is going to be welcomed and is going to have 152 00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.600 a great time, and it is stressful. But what I 153 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:30.720 think like that the pushback I've got from some national 154 00:07:30.839 --> 00:07:33.000 people who may or not even be coming to Green 155 00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:35.079 Bay are kind of like, yeah, why would you ever 156 00:07:35.120 --> 00:07:37.120 go to Green Bay to watch the NFL Draft. I'm 157 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.000 going to go watch it somewhere else. And I think 158 00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:41.000 it's weird. I think it's a weird thing to say. 159 00:07:41.839 --> 00:07:44.319 Chuck Root would be there our guest tonight, Chuck Root 160 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:48.720 shows up.

I I 165 00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:02.600 really do want to want it to get over, just 166 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.879 like mal Santa wants Christmas to get over. You know, 167 00:08:06.199 --> 00:08:09.519 you start talking to to the ball players, all they 168 00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:11.079 want to talk about is the draft, and then is 169 00:08:11.160 --> 00:08:13.240 training for the draft and get ready for the pro 170 00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.120 day and hopefully move through the draft. Where are you 171 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:18.040 going to go? In the last two weeks before it, 172 00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:20.920 that's when the family gets really involved.

Maybe four? 182 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:48.480 You know, it's it's not twenty five. 183 00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:49.320 Like I'm trying. 184 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.240 I'm trying to look at through my through my red 185 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.519 and white colored goggles, and I don't I can get 186 00:08:53.519 --> 00:08:54.679 the twenty five pair. I love. 187 00:08:54.759 --> 00:08:56.679 I love the way we're talking tonight because you know, 188 00:08:57.000 --> 00:08:59.440 it's kind of like watching a Guyzilla movie when you 189 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.759 start talking to the words come out. You know that's cover. 190 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:05.960 It's but yeah, because and you know when the scouts 191 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:10.039 will start on the twenty twenty sixth draft, they've already started. Yeah, no, 192 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:13.840 but about about four to five days after. 193 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:15.039 Oh okay, all right. 194 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:17.480 About four or five days after they'll be back on 195 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.960 the road at the twenty twenty sixth draft. So draft 196 00:09:21.039 --> 00:09:23.639 kind of never ends, it never ends. But the culmination 197 00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:25.240 of this one will be in Green Bay, and I 198 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:27.399 can't think of a better place because it's close to 199 00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:30.200 Balkey and that's you know, that's where James Hicks and 200 00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:33.799 all our listeners. Hey, uh, you know Rubio says he 201 00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.000 joined his first off or IF and you know he's 202 00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:39.639 he's like me in fantasy. We don't have the lingo down. 203 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.399 He adopted his first orphan, you know. That's that's that's 204 00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.080 the proper lingo there. And Stevens is here tonight from 205 00:09:48.159 --> 00:09:50.279 up in New York. And you know we've got a 206 00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:53.720 great crew. James Hicks, I wonder where Christian is probably 207 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:57.360 hung over from there's. 208 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.559 We'll get we'll get Oinker in here for James Sticks 209 00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:00.360 like hanging out with us. 210 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.519 I love those guys so much from Team Porky's and 211 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.039 a great affection for Ainker that I've actually given up 212 00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:13.879 consuming pork Oh. Wow, list many. 213 00:10:14.679 --> 00:10:17.559 And I'm not going to judge you for any religious 214 00:10:17.559 --> 00:10:19.320 police Paraoh, but it is lent right now. 215 00:10:19.399 --> 00:10:24.279 So no, it's it's I'm off pork year round, year round. 216 00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.840 Okay, I I want to get into the show tonight. 217 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:34.440 And and here's the thing. Sometimes things come up prior 218 00:10:34.559 --> 00:10:39.039 to when I when I build the rundown, and stuff 219 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:42.240 slips through the cracks. Friday night news dump we had 220 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:46.720 one tonight about eight o'clock Eastern time. We found out 221 00:10:46.720 --> 00:10:51.279 from Ian Rapaport that Derek Carr is believed quote unquote 222 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:54.519 to have suffered a significant injury in his throwing shoulder 223 00:10:54.759 --> 00:11:00.399 during last season. Now, in weeks fifteen through eighteen, Carr 224 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:03.679 was listed as a having a left hand injury. He 225 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:06.360 is a right handed thrower, but he was listed as 226 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.840 a left hand injury. But there was no mention the 227 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:12.759 last month of the year of any kind of throwing shoulder, 228 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:17.759 throwing arm issue. Rapaport is kind of if you read 229 00:11:17.799 --> 00:11:21.240 between the lines, there's obviously more to this story. Carr 230 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:25.960 is contemplating surgery farll right now on April eleventh, twenty 231 00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:29.200 twenty five. And I think I have to bring this 232 00:11:29.399 --> 00:11:33.159 up because this kind of changes, at least the way 233 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.799 we're thinking about how the Saints are handling the quarterback position. 234 00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:40.080 It's obviously changing the way we think about Chris Olabe. 235 00:11:40.960 --> 00:11:43.200 It's changing the way we think about Rashid Shihed, who 236 00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:45.200 was coming off an injury of his own, and it's 237 00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:47.519 changing the way we think about the running game and 238 00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:50.919 any potential pass catchers that the Saints might be drafting, 239 00:11:51.039 --> 00:11:54.600 or quite frankly, a new quarterback that might be drafted 240 00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.759 in the first round, second round here tonight, who could 241 00:11:56.799 --> 00:12:00.320 be the heir apparent to Derek Carr. This kind of 242 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:03.720 caught me off guard, my initial reaction because I haven't 243 00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.720 had time to delve into it right now. Farrell is, 244 00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.919 I'm kind of avoiding Saints. I'm kind of hoping that 245 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:11.559 nobody that I like in the NFL draft goes to 246 00:12:11.639 --> 00:12:14.639 New Orleans is being drafted by New Orleans. I really 247 00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:18.159 want to avoid this dumpster fire right now. Maybe there's 248 00:12:18.279 --> 00:12:22.480 value in alave Man, there's value in Camara Juwan Johnson 249 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.720 obviously in FFPC tight end premium leagues right now, But 250 00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.600 quite frankly, my initial reaction is until I know more, 251 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:32.000 I'm staying away in beastball leagues, the kfff C leagues. 252 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:33.600 I'm drafting it right now. How do you feel about 253 00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:34.080 the situation. 254 00:12:34.519 --> 00:12:39.919 Hmm, well, we'll know more about it soon. But you know, Rubo, 255 00:12:40.039 --> 00:12:42.559 maybe right, this could be a smoke screen. Well, Evio 256 00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:47.919 uh Rivio is really hitting it good because because Ian 257 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:50.360 always likes to get himself in the news. You know, 258 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:53.679 he wants to he wants to be the first who knows? 259 00:12:55.320 --> 00:12:58.240 But yeah, well who they got in the quarterback room? Balky, 260 00:12:58.320 --> 00:12:59.399 who's in the room down there? 261 00:12:59.519 --> 00:13:02.360 If you were in remember Pharah. Last year we had 262 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:04.919 five quarterbacks I want to say, drafted in the like 263 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:08.519 the first half of the first round with Caleb Williams, 264 00:13:09.639 --> 00:13:14.039 Jaden Daniels, Bo Nicks, Michael Pennix, and JJ McCarthy. We 265 00:13:14.159 --> 00:13:17.120 did not see another quarterback drafted until the fifth round. 266 00:13:17.799 --> 00:13:20.320 That fifth round pick went to New Orleans and he 267 00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:25.200 was one Spencer Rattler. He was the next Carolina to 268 00:13:25.279 --> 00:13:28.320 South Carolina by way of Oklahoma. And he was the 269 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:31.799 next quarterback that was drafted after those big five were selected. 270 00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:35.000 Came into a few games last year, started a few 271 00:13:35.039 --> 00:13:37.279 games for New Orleans and I would say results are 272 00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.960 maybe as expected or maybe less than expected, but that's 273 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.039 who they got in their quarterback room right now. Is 274 00:13:43.120 --> 00:13:45.960 the next guy at Rattler unless they signed somebody Aaron 275 00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.320 Rodgers obviously out there. Kirk Cousins potentially could be an 276 00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.600 option for New Orleans. Other than that, they might be 277 00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:54.159 looking for a new guy to pair with Spencer Ratler 278 00:13:54.240 --> 00:13:55.960 going forward. I really don't know what they're gonna do. 279 00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:00.360 I'm kind of a big Rattler fan. Always had been, well, 280 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.360 we'll see, let's just put let's put that one on 281 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:04.279 the shelf, because. 282 00:14:04.120 --> 00:14:06.960 We will will put a pin in that because it's 283 00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:09.360 so fresh and we don't know what's going to happen. 284 00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.399 As as Rubia points out, this may be a fugazi, 285 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.799 you know, distract us away with what's going on. 286 00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:18.519 When you have talented pass catchers like a Lave when 287 00:14:18.559 --> 00:14:20.240 he came into the league. I said to you, Bulky, 288 00:14:20.320 --> 00:14:24.440 I said, Buck, he is the most professional NFL ready 289 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.159 wide receiver. And then you think about some of the 290 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:30.519 better players in each draft at certain positions, guys like Buyers. 291 00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:32.639 How many how many catches Buyers last year? 292 00:14:33.080 --> 00:14:33.759 One hundred and four? 293 00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:35.360 I want to say, how many quarterbacks? 294 00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:36.279 Four or five? 295 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:41.000 At least four? You know, it's so you take that 296 00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:45.759 elite receiver. I hope everyone does, uh decide that a 297 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:52.120 Lave is is not desired in this current a d P, 298 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:57.559 as reported by Darren ARMANI and uh because at that 299 00:14:57.679 --> 00:14:59.720 point in time, that's that's when I will go out 300 00:15:00.600 --> 00:15:02.440 try to grab some of lave. And you know, you 301 00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:06.200 talk about rookie quarterbacks. I spoke with a very very 302 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:10.840 good player, very successful player in fantasy football, and he said, 303 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.799 you know, last year I had Williams and Richardson on 304 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:20.159 several teams together. And he says, I had a rough year. Yeah, 305 00:15:20.600 --> 00:15:22.759 and you know, those same guys this year could deliver 306 00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:24.200 a really good year. 307 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:29.519 I want to bring up Joe Flacco, who was in 308 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:35.120 the news Appareland because he apparently has signed a one year, 309 00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:39.279 four million dollar deal according to ESPN's Adam Schefter with 310 00:15:39.440 --> 00:15:42.600 the Cleveland Browns. He is going to have a chance 311 00:15:42.679 --> 00:15:45.039 to earn up to thirteen million dollars this year. He 312 00:15:45.279 --> 00:15:49.919 is turning forty years young this season. Six games did 313 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:53.279 he start for the Colts last year? Just over seventeen 314 00:15:53.360 --> 00:15:57.399 hundred yards, twelve touchdowns and seven picks, sixty five percent 315 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.480 completion percentage. And this is a player who's going to 316 00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:06.279 go back in this Kevin Stetanski's offense. This is an 317 00:16:06.279 --> 00:16:08.120 offense that he won Comeback Player of the Year a 318 00:16:08.159 --> 00:16:10.960 couple of years ago, and he only has one Kenny 319 00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:13.639 Pickett to beat out as of right now. We'll see 320 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:16.120 what Cleveland does in the draft, because they could come 321 00:16:16.159 --> 00:16:19.279 away with Shagar Sanders or somebody else here. But Pharaoh, 322 00:16:19.279 --> 00:16:22.080 what do you make of this signing by the Browns 323 00:16:22.600 --> 00:16:25.080 this close to the draft, but still prior to the draft. 324 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:27.360 What does it mean? What should we be doing? Should 325 00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:29.960 we be changing anything in the way we think about 326 00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:34.360 David and Joku, Jerry Judy and the other Cleveland Brown 327 00:16:34.480 --> 00:16:37.879 skill position players based on this signing by the Browns 328 00:16:37.919 --> 00:16:40.759 to get Flacco in, who honestly is probably the most 329 00:16:40.759 --> 00:16:42.679 accomplished quarterback they got in the quarterback room. 330 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.799 Right now, you know we're going to see more of this. 331 00:16:46.200 --> 00:16:48.320 You you asked me to direct question, so before I 332 00:16:48.399 --> 00:16:52.960 start babbling along here, I'll answer your question. If you're 333 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:59.120 already dependent on quarterback talent to elevate your Cleveland Browns, 334 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:03.000 your drafting already making a big mistake. So there you are. 335 00:17:04.359 --> 00:17:07.960 We're going to see more of this type of thing, 336 00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:13.319 and it's very much transfer portal related. And I forgive 337 00:17:13.400 --> 00:17:16.000 me if we talked about this last week, But it's 338 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.400 very much on my mind, especially with the one and 339 00:17:19.599 --> 00:17:23.440 done quarterbacks that will be coming in in college football, 340 00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:26.599 even in the most sophisticated offenses, you've got to dumb 341 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:28.559 that down just because you don't have time to put 342 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:33.480 it in. And so consequently, these guys are less ready 343 00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:37.359 for the NFL, these young quarterbacks that we're going to 344 00:17:37.400 --> 00:17:40.480 see the old guys hanging around for a while. And 345 00:17:40.519 --> 00:17:43.480 I think that's what we have here is you've got 346 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:47.000 to have somebody in the building that no matter what 347 00:17:47.160 --> 00:17:49.799 you do, that you can rely on the start games 348 00:17:49.880 --> 00:17:52.079 and try to win. Try to go five hundred for 349 00:17:52.200 --> 00:17:54.119 you which is what you want to back up quarterback, 350 00:17:54.559 --> 00:17:56.519 Try to go five hundred and you know for the 351 00:17:56.599 --> 00:18:00.400 Browns that might be a step up. John Anderson, Yeah, 352 00:18:01.160 --> 00:18:07.799 great FFFPC player and k FFFC player, A terrific fan 353 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:08.440 of football. 354 00:18:08.599 --> 00:18:08.880 He was. 355 00:18:09.039 --> 00:18:11.400 He was very excited. That's the news I woke up, 356 00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:14.240 you know with Flacoh. He said, we got flack Oh back, 357 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:14.559 you know. 358 00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:19.119 And you need accomplished quarterbacks like that playing against the Ravens, 359 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:21.400 playing you know, he has Bengals. 360 00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:25.160 John Anderson hasn't missed a home Browns game in like 361 00:18:25.319 --> 00:18:27.400 twenty five years. Good for him. 362 00:18:27.759 --> 00:18:31.599 No badge of courage. Badge of courage right there. I 363 00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.559 want to touch on one rookie thing before we get 364 00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:37.200 the Chuck route. Who is waiting in the green room 365 00:18:37.279 --> 00:18:41.079 right now, dining on some caviare and some and some 366 00:18:41.440 --> 00:18:45.440 steak tartar that we put back there, o'marion Hampton is. 367 00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:50.200 Yesterday Farrell met with the New York Giants for a 368 00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.359 pre draft visit. This according to Art Stapleton, Omari and 369 00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.920 Hampton stands at six foot two and twenty pounds at 370 00:18:56.960 --> 00:19:00.319 the NFL Scouting Combine, his athletic score was really really good, 371 00:19:00.839 --> 00:19:03.319 and obviously when he was at North Carolina had a 372 00:19:03.559 --> 00:19:06.880 really really good career there as well. In his final 373 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:11.559 season with the tar Heels, sixteen hundred plus yards fifteen touchdowns, 374 00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:15.279 he forced seventy three miss tackles and did not fumble 375 00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.839 the ball one time. Forty three targets he caught all 376 00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.480 but five of them for three hundred and seventy three yards, 377 00:19:21.519 --> 00:19:25.160 two touchdowns, and forced eight miss tackles on that as well. 378 00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:29.480 The Giants meeting with him, I think should should send 379 00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:33.039 shivers up the spine for Tyrone Tracy owners out there. 380 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:36.160 I want to get your thoughts on Mario Mario Hampton 381 00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:40.200 the player. Matt Walden, Matt Waldman from Football Guys Rookie 382 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:44.680 Scouting Portfolio came out with his rankings and granted he said, 383 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.440 you know, he'll adjust, and he always does adjust after 384 00:19:47.519 --> 00:19:49.640 the NFL Draft, but right now he has Mario and 385 00:19:49.640 --> 00:19:53.440 Hampton outside his top ten if I'm remembering correctly, for 386 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:56.440 running backs in this year's class, how do you view Hampton. 387 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:58.400 I'm a big fan of his and I think there's 388 00:19:58.519 --> 00:20:01.759 a probably better than fifty fifty shot barrel in my opinion, 389 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:04.839 that he goes within the top fifteen picks of the 390 00:20:04.960 --> 00:20:07.319 draft in less than two weeks. 391 00:20:07.960 --> 00:20:10.880 I agree. He's the kind of running back that teams 392 00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:13.720 can can count on to do all the things that 393 00:20:13.839 --> 00:20:17.000 you mentioned. He's good, size, has been largely injury free, 394 00:20:17.599 --> 00:20:21.759 and a tremendous senior year, and from my from the 395 00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:26.039 word I'm getting, he's a very very good interview within 396 00:20:26.119 --> 00:20:28.599 the teams. Of course, the Giants they have to go 397 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:30.960 hit a home run running back, you know, the way 398 00:20:30.960 --> 00:20:32.319 they can look back on it and say, well, this 399 00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.319 is kind of what we planned, you know, you know 400 00:20:35.559 --> 00:20:37.799 when we let our when we left Tae kwono. You know, 401 00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:40.559
