Summary

Dan and Nick discuss the NFL Top-100 list and the decision by fellow NFL players to leave Andrew Thomas off the top-100. They discuss where NFL general managers would select the 24-year-old left tackle if there was an expansion draft with every player available right now. They break down the reasons for why his game may not grab the attention of those voting. They also discuss some of the most egregious players who made the list over Thomas and what has to change in 2023 for him to make the list next offseason. Learn more about your ad choices.
