Guest host Ryan Leaf reflects on his long journey from NFL flameout to recovering addict and the mental toll of expectations and adulation on athletes. NFL Network host Rachel Bonnetta tells Ryan Leaf what her first-ever NFL Combine is like, why she’s excited the NFL is making it more fun and game-like with the presence of fans near the field for the first time, and which event Peter King would excel at if there was a Combine for NFL journalists and broadcasters. Ryan and the guys debate if Pitt QB Kenny Pickett’s small hand size (8.5” as measured at the Combine) will effect where he goes in the NFL Draft, reflect on how the Rams’ big gamble on Matthew Stafford paid off, and why QB’s like Aaron Rodgers are more willing to work their leverage to work trades or get fat new contracts.
