Summary

FOX Sports’ lead College Football analyst Joel Klatt gives his biggest takeaways from the NFL Combine over the weekend including which players improved their draft stock. He also reacts to Travis Hunter’s comments when he was asked to compare his two-way feats to the Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani. Klatt dives into the debate of whether it’s more impressive to play both ways in football or baseball. He also discusses the recent College Football news and lays out why the Big Ten and SEC’s emergence as the two power brokers in the sport can lead to an improved Playoff along with other secondary benefits for the sport as a whole. He also weighs in on several programs electing to cancel Spring Games this season and why the fans are the ones getting the short end of the deal. Klatt wraps up the pod by discussing recent GM hires in CFB and how that’s the latest evolution in a sport that is going through a lot of change. 0:00 Intro 2:00 NFL Combine Takeaways 3:40 Texas WR Matthew Golden 6:30 Jalen Milroe's Draft Stock 8:50 Shedeur Sanders & Cam Ward 14:43 Travis Hunter vs. Shohei Ohtani 21:53 Future of CFP 36:40 Spring games no more?
