This is the Athletic Football Show.

Welcome back. I'm Dane Bruegler, as always, with my buddy, Lance Erline.

This is the athletic football show. We were known as Prospects to Prospects to Pros. Now we're going to be part of the Athletic Football Show family, bringing you a weekly NFL draft podcast. So if you're already subscribed for Robert Mays and Nate Tice and all the great lineup of shows we have for you, you're all set. If you were with us on Prospects to Prosos or you're a new listener, make sure you hit that subscribe to the athletic football show feed. You'll get us once a week. Maybe more. We'll see how the schedule works out. We've got a lot of other great shows on this feed. So that's the housekeeping information we needed to go over.

We have a ton of info to touch on here.

Our first show of the year, first off, Lance, how you holding up?

I know this is the thick of your busy time as you kind of really dive into the tape watching all these guys.

Yeah, it really is.

So just to kind of pull the curtain back a little bit, I have to write about 500 prospects. Last year, they let me slip down to about

470, but it was also the first year that I never had to write someone after the draft was over.

So that was like incredible that I, that I had everyone I wrote up, everyone that was drafted, I had write-ups for.

So typically what happens for me is I like to get 60 to 70 players done in November and then 100 in December, 100 in January.

And then, of course, I have to, I really, really my guidelines are I have to have every senior bowl guy finished and then every combine participant finished.

So more than likely I'll have about 350 players written up by the combine with another 150 to go after that.

So I'm at about, I just crossed a 200 player threshold yesterday.

I'm at about 201 or 202 with Yusuf

Corker safety from Kentucky. Kentucky. Yeah, he's the last one that I've written up and

I've got Devin Lloyd on deck today. I've still got some pretty good players that I still

have to write up. So a lot of it will

depend on when I'm getting my tape and how many games I have on certain players and things like

that. So I've got all the tape I need. I'm ready to roll. And I'm really looking forward to

getting this podcast going again. Yeah. Your brain kind of works like mine where it's like you've got

checkpoints.
