My pleasure.
Thanks for having me, guys.
I'm actually going to Chicago because The Athletic has a draft show that's in Chicago where Robert Mays' show is with Dane Brugler.
And so I'm flying there tomorrow morning.
So it should be fun, five hours.
Stay out of trouble, Bruce.
I know, I know, Brady.
I feel like you were the bad influence on all of us at that point.
Here's the leftovers.
Yeah, he is, from the people I've talked to, a notch ahead of Shador or anybody else in this draft. The coaches I've talked to don't think it's actually close. And some of the guys have played both. And also, you've got to remember, both guys were in the Pac-12 a year ago when you had a cluster of first-round quarterbacks, Caleb Williams.
Some of those guys played Jaden Daniels before because he was at Arizona State. Obviously, Penix, Bo Nix, not Drake May, but everybody else. And the guys I talked to thought... Cam Ward probably wouldn't be, would be maybe a slight step below some of those guys from last year, but they think he's clearly the best one out there right now.
And what they love about him is his competitiveness, his playmaking ability. His arm talent is better than Shador's. It comes out fast. He can do it from, you know, basically in the RPO game. The challenge with him is he makes a lot of backyard football plays. And a lot of it comes with being really reckless with the football. And he got better at that.
And then he was earlier in his career, but there's still a lot of concerns. You know, one of the coaches I talked to in the ACC was like, there was a bunch of interceptions that were dropped last year that, you know, bad decisions that he keeps making the Miami's coaches kind of leaned into, Hey, we're not going to try to change you. We want you to play a little smarter, but they weren't,
you know, really trying to coach everything out of them. The other thing you would hear a little bit is there's kind of a nonchalant style about him. You know, there are some times you watch him in the Florida game at the start of the year where they blew the Gators off the field in the swamp. And there's a play where he's kind of running out of bounds.
And if you're watching it, you're thinking, Oh, Was a whistle blown dead? Why is he just like casually jogging towards the sideline? And you talk to some of the Miami coaches are like, I think he was trying to draw like a late hit penalty. If he could get it on the Gators, he's just, I think his wiring is a little different. Everybody at Miami raves about his, uh,
uh competitiveness and his leadership skills and that was a big addition for them last year they were sorely lacking in that spot till he got there from the moment they that he got there people at miami you know were just so impressed by him so i think he's a legit nfl starting quarterback and i think he is the one guy the one quarterback in this draft where i was like okay you could see him being a star in the nfl it's not a guarantee but it never is with quarterbacks
Yeah. The Von Miller comment was interesting. It came from a guy who used to coach in the NFL and is now a big 10 running backs coach. And he had said to me, um, you know, people are wanting to compare them to Micah Parsons. They're similar size. Micah Parsons is going to run in the four fours and obviously both Penn state guys. But this guy was like, they're really different.
You know, some of the stuff Micah Parsons does, how he wins in the NFL is not how Abdul Carter to this point is. Now, what's really worth keeping in mind is this was really the first year that Abdul Carter had played in this position. He'd been a linebacker before, and they shifted.
Our first game of the year for Fox, we were in West Virginia, and they have a really good offensive lineman, Wyatt Milam, who is one of the better offensive linemen. I don't know if he's more considered a guard because he's, again, arm length, but he's a high-level offensive lineman. He did really well against Abdul Carter when he was against him.
But when you talk to coaches in the big 10, you know, they're not just studying them for when they played them. They're also looking, you know, crossover tape and everything. They felt like he really improved as the year went on. Um, he will be physical. He is not, that's not what he's going to make his bread and butter on though. He is a, a real elite get off speed rusher guy.
