The 2025 NFL Draft is in the books and there is no question, the NFL is the best reality TV there is. From the Jaguars bold trade up to the Shedeur Sanders fall, 32 teams got better, even though the loudest (MEL) of voices would disagree. Neil and I have a short discussion on the former CU QB, how and why QB's fell the way they did and the draft as a whole. We then get into what the coming days will look like for Rookie Mini Cam...

The 2016 NFL was the spectacle, drama and intrigue that the NFL wants it to be every year. From 2 QB's going at the top to the now infamous Bong Mask and slide of Laremy Tunsil.

On today's special episode, Neil and Rodrik discu...

Of all the aspects of the NFL Draft, free agency and roster building that go unnoticed (and uncovered), NFL Local Days are some of the best kept secrets. How do teams decide who gets to come? What all is covered? Who runs them? So many questions - and I have the answers. As a Pro Scout in Atlanta, I ran the local days for 2 years and explain everything that an agent (or football loving junkie) could possibly want, and need, to kn...

An education with arguably the best HC in NFL History, a seminar in Tampa with patience and an underappreciated GM to finally sitting in the Big Chair in Tennessee. Jon Robinson once thought he would be a teacher and coach - but the right connections, the right work ethic and the right opportunities landed him at the top of the Tennessee Titans.
Neil and I sit down with Jon to talk all things NFL GM. From his path through the N...

Building a roster at any level goes way beyond the 11 that line up on offense and defense. Special teams, forgotten about until the big play hits, is a pivotal factor as an NFL roster cuts down to 53, and as college rosters think about 105 and maneuvering in the transfer portal. So, how exactly is it all factored in? Neil and I are joined by fast rising coach and Special Teams Coordinator at Florida Atlantic University, Tyler Sc...

Super Bowl 59 was a case study in winning in the trenches as the Eagles Offensive and Defensive Lines absolutely dominated the game. That philosophy, so masterfully executed by GM Howie Roseman and crew, led to a game that seemed over in the first quarter. So we asked Former Scout and NFL Offensive Lineman all about those trenches, scouting and so much more.
From his playing days in the NFL and USFL to his transition into scout...
