Summary
Colin wants Bears fans to have realistic expectations for this upcoming season after a positive showing in quarterback Caleb Williams’ first appearance in preseason action. He unveils his first Herd Hierarchy for the 2025 season with an NFC powerhouse at number 1 and the Chiefs surprisingly low. Colin also talks to 3-time Super Bowl champion Mark Schlereth about the Broncos and why they expect to contend in the AFC in year 2 with QB Bo Nix.
