Welcome back to another episode of the Adam Schaefter podcast.

0:12.1

And on today's episode, we'll be joined by the former NFL veteran quarterback, now my ESPN colleague and friend, Matthew Hasselback, who knows the thing or two

0:22.3

about the way the Packer's situation works and might have some special insight into the Aaron

0:27.9

Roger's situation unfolding in Green Bay. And then we'll be joined by the man that resigned with

0:34.8

the Pittsburgh Steelers. Wide receiver, Juju Smith-Schuster,

0:38.6

comes on to talk about why he returned to Pittsburgh and why it was difficult to pass up an

1:50.7

And initially, I was confused as to why my name could or would be trending.

1:57.7

2:03.4

for draft day, which I could tell you was unequivocally 100% wrong. I did not go to Cleveland
