XFL Newsroom Writer and Reporter Christian Paolantonio joins the show to talk about this week's XFL Combine. We also discuss his time covering the D.C. Defenders during the 2023 XFL season and about his pursuit of writing/reporting in athletics.
Two-time IFL offensive player of the Year E.J. Hilliard joins Jesse Dyess. We discuss his quick start in the IFL, his football journey to this point, and his chances for MVP. He breaks down the effects of last year's championship appearance on this season. We talk about influences inside out and outside of football, and which Hall of Famer has mentored him in his game. Finally, he discusses his potential next steps on his journey which hopefully sees him in an XFL or NFL uniform.
