Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider presented by Fandul, Matthew Collar here.

0:11.9

And yes, Manny Hill is joining us for a pre-draft episode.

0:17.2

You folks asked for Manny to return.

0:20.5

And here he is. So good evening, Mr. Hill.

0:23.6

How are you? I'm quite well. I'm flattered that the Purple Insider fan base is requesting my
