Hey, sports bubble fans, tree Fork Media here with a
heads up on a brand new series we think you'll
really be into Drafted, which premieres Monday, September one. You
can subscribe to Drafted on iHeart, Apple, Spotify, or wherever
you get your podcast. Here's the trailer. Imagine this. You've
(00:24):
been playing football for years, dreaming of going pro, and
then it happens. Life as you know it changes with
a phone and I finally got my call. Is just
the real This is Keegan Michael Key and welcome to
Draft It. This podcast series follows eight players as they
enter the NFL Draft. This is their real life as
(00:47):
it unfolds in real time, and each player tells his
own story unfiltered. I'm not a first rounder. I'm not
even the top three rounder. We hear exclusive moments in
the lives of the athletes. They're personal and professional relationships.
I just had some strong you know. Most importantly, we
share in the moment when all their hard work and
sacrifice does or does not pay off. This is something
(01:12):
I've been dreaming and round I was supposed to go high.
I didn't get drafted. Not set there for seven round
as if the stakes weren't high enough and millions of
dollars weren't on the line. These stories are captured during
an unprecedented time COVID quarantine. Nothing like this has ever
happened in NFL history. And this year's draft was watched
(01:32):
by an astonishing eighty million people. That's more than the
population of Canada, Greece, and Peru combined. Like many of you,
I grew up loving football. Football. It's generational, it connects us.
There's always been a mystique to drafting, but in drafting,
we go behind the scenes before, during, and after one
(01:55):
of the biggest days of their lives and we relive
every detail from the play years perspective. Actually started to
cry like I was crying because I felt like I
did something wrong. Please join me on the first step
in their journey to greatness. Listen to Drafted on the
I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get
your podcasts.
