And sometimes when I sing, that's Speaks while he's talking.

I haven't been in FM since I was at โ€“ so I think this predated Ryan Porth being at the Nashville station that I used to do some appearances at when I was living down there.

But they were an FM sports talk station in Nashville.

So it's been a minute since I've been in FM.

Okay.

I would imagine I sound all right in FM, too.

Yeah, when you look at the Super Bowl coming up this Sunday, the quarterbacks on display, the career arc of Sam Darnold was expected to be more like what we've seen from Drake May.

To be the guy who steps into the league, shows signs as a rookie, and then second years in that MVP sort of conversation.

He has those types of physical tools.

Both guys were USC quarterbacks, Sam Donald and Caleb Williams.

When you compare their highlights from college, the Sam Donald highlights are eerily similar to what Caleb Williams looked like for much of his run at USC in the Heisman Trophy season.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

Sam Donald, when I called his games for the Pac-12 Network at USC, I called a bunch of his games in college.

I described him as an improvisational wizard.

where when the play would break down, and he didn't always have a great offensive line in front of him, so the play would frequently break down, or Sam just liked holding the football.

So the play would break down because he just wouldn't cut it loose.

But then as he began to run around and improvise, sometimes even the ball would dribble out of his hand, and he'd pick it up and keep running and scrambling to and fro, Fran Tarkinson style.

But then frequently, it would end up in these amazing plays that he would make during his college career.

Rahimi, Harris & Grote Show

The arm strength was there.

And beyond the arm strength, the arm talent was showcased as well for a guy who had the arm strength to hit every blade of grass on the field.
