The NFL Draft is more than just names called on a stage—it's about money, strategy, and dreams. On this episode, we break down how the rookie salary cap works, what the Combine actually measures, and why going in the first round can change your life. We also dig into late-round success stories like Tom Brady and Brock Purdy. Whether you’re a seasoned fan or just getting into football, this is your go-to guide for understanding draft strategy and the business behind the league.
