This episode of Football 301, Mr. Forreverts, Charles McDonald,

joins me to round out the defensive prospects.

We talk linebackers, corners, and safeties.

Oh, my, we get into it, though.

I mean, dozens of guys.

We talk about first rounders, day two guys that we like,

maybe a little, some dart throws and planting some flags on some day two and day three guys.

A lot of fun with Chuck as we talk about the back end of the defense.

See you guys in a second.

Hello, welcome to Football 301.

I am your host, Nate Tice.

Another great show for you today.

We're getting back into the prospect preview series for the 2026 NFL draft. Get that SEO in there. Got to say all of it. Got to say NFL. Got to say draft. Got to say 2026. We're getting it all in that intro. But we're going to hit some more defensive guys today. We grouped together the linebackers and the DBs. Not that they're not interesting. It's actually a really nice linebacker class, but more just, I think, for posterity's sake and also just, you know, condensing school schedule as I talked out with producer stone. But anyways, let's get to it. To help me do that, even though his name is an offensive concept. He's my defensive prospect guy,

Mr. Forreverts, Charles McDonald. Great to see you. How you do, man? I'm doing great. It's 70 degrees

in New York City today. I've looked out into the future forecast, and it appears we have

beaten the winter. We got a couple more days of 40s and then in the next week 60s 70s

every day so you know I was walking around outside I got got a t-shirt on you know it's uh it's good

to feel alive again you know it's really good stuff we got up we're getting to like 90 something

here in Vegas but it's now back down it's 82 now so we're okay. That's normal. March is usually the best month here, March and April, but we get back down. So perfect weather for New York when I get there next month because I was getting a little scared. We've got to figure out the TSA lines and the weather. Weather, we're already checking that off. And then we see with uh flying out jfk i'm not i'm

kind of interested in that experience for a 7 a m flight on sunday if you if you got pre-check

you'll be fine if not we'll see i like to live dangerously so we'll see how that goes but uh

knock on wood i've never missed the flight in my entire life and i I just jinxed it right there. But I've never, other than connections, I've never missed my like initial flight. And I've flown probably at 5,000 times in my life. Some of them, some of them with the team, which helps. But, you know, other instances as well, there's been some early mornings. I'm a surprise I made those flights too. But anyways, let's get to the prospects. No real news right now, which is actually, I wouldn't say refreshing, but just a change of pace. We had the JSN signing earlier. But again, we've been doing this prospect series. We had running backs of tight ends. Me and Connor Rogers did that last week. Chuck joined me last Thursday to do defensive line and edges because it's a very fun class there, very deep class.
