Full Episode
Part two, Todd McShay, fresh off a trip to Indianapolis for the Combine, the most impressive player of the week. We're going to get into some of the buzz that he's hearing from teams, deep dives into the receiver, running back, tight end class. Also, what is going on with Shador Sanders at the top, and life advice. He's fresh off the Combine. friend of the show, the host of The McShay Show.
I hope you subscribe to check out all of his draft coverage. It is Todd McShay. What's up, man? Good to see you. How we doing, Ryan? I'm good, man. The content was great. You guys are putting out awesome, awesome stuff. Really impressed. Yeah, so let's just kind of start. You were there. It's kind of a home base for you this time of year.
Let's just run through the top headlines and we'll get into some of the minutiae later on. What's the biggest thing?
I would say the biggest thing probably was Nick Imanwari's workout. Safety from South Carolina. I mean, obviously, we can get into the quarterbacks. We can get into all the buzz. We can get into wide receivers. The running back class is as good as advertised. But there's only a few times that you can legitimately say a human being shouldn't be able to do this.
And Eamon Worry was one of those times. I think back to Calvin Johnson, right? DK Metcalf. Just look at him pulling up the numbers right now. He is a massive safety, right? He's 6'3", 220 pounds, right? No one has ever done what he's done before. With the vertical jump that he was able to put, or sorry, the broad jump of 11.6 at 220 pounds to run as fast as Imanwari did at 4.38.
I just think, you know, he's a player that was always kind of in that late first round discussion. I think the way the NFL is now, with looking for long safeties, chess pieces, guys that can cover. We've seen what Hamilton's done in Baltimore. Just that versatility as an athlete. For me, he stole the show. You just don't see guys like that move and jump and participate in the way he did.
Yeah, and I would say, because I think people are always a little... Like, ooh, somebody lit it up at the Combine. Like, when are you guys going to learn? And I usually argue, like, okay, but for the failures, there's also guys that put on a show there, and it totally works out, and the boosted draft profile and all that stuff.
But anybody that watched South Carolina this year, I would say the game tape has to back it all up, too. Like, this is an added – The physical part of this, the testing part of it, is just another bonus on top of a dude that was a game-wrecking safety. I loved watching South Carolina this year. You and I talked about it all season long.
But there are just all these times you're like, there's seven again. So I imagine that this isn't out of nowhere because he looked like he made a big impact on Saturdays anyway.
