Welcome to the Ringer NFL show. I'm your host, Shield Capadia, and I am excited to have my friend here today.

His name is Fran Duffy. He is the lead draft analyst for the All-City Network.

I started to get juiced for the start of college football season, and I thought, let's have Fran on, give us a little NFL spin on some of the big draft storylines. We're going to specifically

talk about the quarterback prospects today. Archmanning, is he even a prospect for 2026?

Garrett Nussmeyer from LSU, Lenore Sellers from South Carolina. We'll get an introduction to some

of these guys who this time next year maybe we'll be talking about them

in the NFL so fran what's your plan Saturday are you just like nine o'clock parked on the couch

start a game day and then you're going straight through a pack 12 after dark or what what's going on

for you for the start of college football i already warned my wife i already warned meg i said

we're going wall to wall she's got plans for the afternoon said, I'm going to throw ribs on the smoker. Francis will be busy. My son will be busy. We're going to sit next to each other and we're going football from from noon until 1 a.m. on Saturday. It's going to be a big day. There you go. 13 hours. And you know he's going to throw on some game day before then.

So it's going to be a lot of fun, no doubt about it.

And the quarterbacks, huge, huge storylines with the quarterbacks this year.

So let's take a quick break.

We come back and we take a look at the 2026 NFL draft with Fran Duffy.
