So the Mel Kiper ESPN draft is on ESPN, breaking down teams' needs, and this is what they're going to do.

Me, Nick Saban, Desmond Howard, and Reese Davis will be on ABC, and it'll be more of a game day version of Fernando Mendoza.

We're going to tell you about him.

We're going to tell you about his mom.

We're going to tell you about what his career has been like.

We're going to talk about Arvel Reese as a person, as a player.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he's cool with it.

This is the greatest thing about Nick Saban, and I've known him since he was the head coach at Michigan State, so I've known him for almost 20, 25 years.

When he first came on the game day, I may have already told you this, but it just stands out to me.

He's Nick Saban, right?

And we'll get done with a segment, and he'll turn to me, because I'm sitting right next to him.

He'll look over at me.

He's like, was that okay?

Yeah.

And I'm like, yeah, man.

But he wants to be coached like he's a player.

He's like, don't just tell me what I want to hear.

I want to get better at this.

He really, I think, has an appreciation for not just being I'm Nick Saban and that's enough, but really understanding studio television and how can I be better.
