Show notes

In episode 55, Kevin chats with Dane Brugler, national NFL writer at The Athletic who produces "The Beast," an annual draft guide. This year's version includes 402 scouting reports and almost 300,000 words. How did Brugler become everyone's main resource for draft intel? It started with a fascination with the Cleveland Browns' draft in 1999, and then went to Brugler's dorm room at Mount Union, where he started making his own draft guide to send to NFL teams and set himself apart. He'll explain how being classmates with Pierre Garcon helped get him connected to NFL scouts, how he got his first job at CBS Sports, and he'll share his advice for aspiring draft analysts. Hear how Dane Brugler broke in.
