Well, yeah, after a long, long wait, I appreciate everyone in the chat. I know how much you guys have been itching and scratching for this. I know this is going to change the complete complexion of everyone's NFL draft boards at this point. I know that I'm sure I'm going to get calls from Dame Bruegler and Fran Duffy and beyond. You waited for the day of Bruegler to put out the beast. And I'm not the type like, yeah, could I break down all 400 prospects?

0:24.5

Of course I can.

0:25.9

But I just thought I'd keep it, keep it simple, stupid.

0:28.9

I say that to myself all the time.

0:31.7

And I just want to kind of really itemize this for you guys in the chat in a very simple fashion and how I'm

0:38.4

looking at this. So let's pull up my big board without further ado and I'll kind of walk

1:12.8

And not only that, between obviously his Purdue connections and then moving to Oregon,

1:18.8

you know, for his final year, he's played in a lot of different variations of what they

1:23.9

ask him to do.

1:24.9

He can get down in the box.

1:26.1

He can be your center fielder.

1:27.6

He has insane closing speed.

1:30.2

He has great ball skills.

1:32.7

He's had some pretty remarkable interceptions.

1:35.4

And he killed it at the combine from a testing thing,

1:38.8

which I don't put as much stock into,

1:41.4

but that's why he probably was hovering.
