0:09.2

and we have a new number one welcome everybody adam azer and heath cummings here who's number one

0:18.3

he's coming patrick Mahomes is number one.

0:21.9

It's not been a great offseason for Jalen Hertz and Josh Allen and maybe even

0:26.0

Lamar Jackson.

0:27.2

Pretty spectacular for Patrick Mahomes, adding Marquise Brown, adding Xavier Worthy,
