Summary
Colin looks at what NFL executives around the NFL said about Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels being a Tier 2 QB and why where young players land dictates their level of success. He points out “real” NFL life is about to set in for Brock Purdy as the 49ers are dealing with injuries throughout training camp as the start of the regular season approaches. Colin also talks to Nick Wright from First Things First about Caleb Williams not playing in the first preseason game and the message Bears head coach Ben Johnson is trying to send.
