0:21.3

We're getting you prepped on these draft prospects.

0:28.8

You got to know the young stars coming into the NFL.

0:31.3

That's what changes and defines fantasy football.

0:33.4

And today we were talking about a player who literally Jacob has the best relative athletics testing score of any running back ever in the history of the NFL Combine.
