Bruce Feldman's just flat out one of the best when it comes to college football.

Does his best work on Fox and writes for the athletic.

He was at the Combine last week.

We're going to take a moment to talk some NFL draft because it is kind of quiet for the moment on the NFL free agency front.

Bruce is back with us. Always appreciate his time. So what for you were the big takeaways coming out of the combine? Yeah, I, you know,

I didn't think this was going to be, and I don't think this is a great draft overall. I just feel

like it's not in the top 10, you know,

group. There's some good players in there. I think there's maybe a great player here or there,

but I don't think it's just deep on the front end. But I will say this, this group ran faster

than any group that's been in indie in terms of how it tested. Now, a lot of

that was, I feel like, you know, I do the freak list every year. A lot of those guys not only lived

up to the hype, they exceeded it, right? So it wasn't just the 40 times. It was that, but it was also,

you know, these tight ends, Eli Stowers, you know, at Vandy,

who was an elite tester with a 39-inch vertical guy, you know, in the off-season, he comes

at the combine, he goes 45 and a half, which is insane. You had Kenyon Sadiq from Oregon,

also, you know, not a prototypical size tight end, but he runs 439 and tests phenomenal.

The other piece of this also is some guys who are probably not expected to run that fast.

They didn't run.

So that boosted the average further, but just the fact that we had six safeties, not cornerbacks,

six safeties go run 4-40-0 or faster is remarked.

Well, why do you think that happened this year?

I think a lot of it is that they had their guys who leaned into what they do really well.
