Welcome back to the Adam Schaefter podcast as the preseason is underway with last week's Hall of Fame game,

0:14.9

and we are getting ready for more preseason football this upcoming week. And as we continue to

0:20.6

look ahead for the upcoming season,

0:22.5

we will be joined today by the newest member of the CBS analyst sports team, the former Falcons

and free agency and then drafted TCU running back, Kendry Miller, in round three. And as we

Kareem Hunt, and so they are looking to add depth at that position.

1:50.3
