| 0:00.0 | What's up, everybody, and happy Tuesday to you here from the OBR film breakdown. |
| 0:20.8 | I'm your host, Jake Burns. We're here here for a fun episode where we get together with Jared Mueller, and we're going to talk to him about his thoughts on the draft classes. I try to accumulate opinions for you guys on these players and how the Browns went about, you know, acquiring these guys and the decisions they made in the draft. That's going to be a huge theme, as you could imagine, for the next few weeks. So we'll get with varied guests. We'll still spend some time with Andrew Spadie. He's doing a little bit of traveling, so couldn't work it out today. But I think there's a good chance to catch up with some others. Like I said, we'll catch up with Jared in a minute. Other things around the NFL and especially around the Browns, there is one piece of news that came out today, which is that they sign an international pathway program opportunity here. His name is Roy Mbateka. So he is a pretty relatively large Nigerian-born offensive tackle, pretty raw to the game. He did not obviously play much growing up, and I don't think he played into his |
| 1:13.7 | high school years. So the game is new to him. He's come over. He's been around the NFL as a part of |
| 1:19.3 | the pathway program for a little while now. I think he's been in three years, three different stops. |
| 1:24.9 | So he was with the Giants in 22, the Bears last year, |
| 1:28.6 | and a practice squad member. And it's just a reminder of how this works. As a part of the |
| 1:33.5 | pathway program, you do not count against the 90-man off-season roster limit. So his acquisition |
| 1:38.9 | to Cleveland and his fit in the program means that he is obviously a part of the keeping beyond the |
| 1:45.9 | 90, which is a meaningful thing to the Browns. He's a huge human, 6-8-3-30, but he is extremely |
| 1:50.5 | raw, but we'll serve as a nice body to have a round size factor for the practice squad. And again, |
| 1:56.6 | not counting is an important thing. So again, he spent time in 22 with the Giants where he had some |
| 2:01.8 | preseason work with the Bears last year as their international pathway program opportunity |
| 2:06.8 | player there. So the Nigerian connection is also something that's interesting that we have |
| 2:11.8 | probably under discussed on this show, but deserves a little bit more attention. The Browns |
| 2:16.2 | have gone deeper into, you know, |
| 2:19.0 | the international marketing area here in the Nigerian sector. They were given the opportunity |
| 2:26.2 | to have exclusive global markets program opportunities in Nigeria. So the Browns are doing |
| 2:34.0 | all they can. And if you did not know, |
| 2:35.4 | they had the opportunity to have the first ever picked announced from Nigeria. So they are |
| 2:39.3 | really trying to gain a presence in Nigeria and the surrounding areas. And ironically, and I |
| 2:46.5 | don't think this is on purpose, but ironically, having Roy come over to the Cleveland organization |
| 2:51.5 | is just a bigger connection to the Nigerian, you know, connection that the Browns are quite |
