This is the Athletic Football Show.

Welcome to the Athletic Football Show.

I'm Robert Mays.

We got a fun one on tap today. It is quarterback day here on the Athletic Football Show. I'm Robert Mays. We got a fun one on tap today. It is

quarterback day here on the athletic football show digging in all the way to the 2024 quarterback

class. And here to help me do that are our two draft nerds here at the athletic. First of all,

it's my friend, Nate Tice. Nate, how you doing, buddy? You don't have to demote Dane like that,

going from

expert to nerd. I think nerd is actually a better term than expert when it comes to this

kind of stuff, because expert implies like an aesthetic distance where you're almost like a

scientist. Dane loves this. Dane loves getting into the nitty gritty of this. So I actually

think nerd is a term of endearment when I'm throwing it around in moments like this. I feel like a geek might be more hands-on. So maybe that might be the term that I'm going to go with here. But no, I feel happy to be here, happy to do this show. I feel like this might be, I want to say this is the last time I'll have to talk about these quarterbacks, but that's not it. But hopefully we get some, you know, some real finality with these kind of takes right now on, and at the end of March, we still have a month to go to the draft. So here we go. You and I have done this for the last, I think, four years. We've done a show on the quarterbacks every single year. This is the first time that Dan is going to be joining us. and I am thrilled that he is here. It is our draft expert here at the athletic. Dan Bruegler.

Dan, appreciate you being here, buddy.

Oh, this is going to be joining us. And I am thrilled that he is here. It is our draft expert here

at the athletic. Dan Bruegler. Dan, appreciate you being here, buddy. Oh, this is going to be fun. I just finished watching some Cortland State tape. They've got a pretty good receiver. We might have another Pierre Garsohn, D3 receiver on our hands. And it's busy day for pro days. We had Washington State today.

Jaden Hicks, my top safety, ran on the 4-4s,

so kind of the last data point for And it's busy day for pro days. We had Washington State today.

Jaden Hicks, my top safety, ran on the 4-4s. So kind of the last data point for him.

But yeah, no, this is going to be fun.

I always enjoy this episode, especially with, because Robert, you bring such a fresh perspective

because you have brand new eyes to these quarterbacks, right?

Sometimes you're in lockstep with what you've heard. Other times you see totally different things. And obviously, Nate and I have been talking about these quarterbacks since September. So, yeah, there's a lot of things that we're going to dive into here. It'll be a lot of fun. It's always so fun because when I open the film, Nate and I were talking about this the other day when we're talking about Washington's offense. Because I don't really watch a lot of college football. I watched the national championship game, but they got stomped on in the national championship game. So that was really my only exposure to what they looked like offensively and some of the Texas game. But when I turned it on last weekend, I was like, oh my God, I love this. And it's always, it's like I'm on wrapping a present when I watch the college film because I have no idea what's waiting for me on the other side. And these quarterbacks are no exception. We're going to talk about all the guys at the top of the draft, the guys that are potentially going to be going in the top five, all the names that you guys have all heard of.
