Today's a fun little day, a Wednesday after I've returned from the league meeting down in Phoenix, Arizona,

talk to John Schneider, talk to Mike McDonald, talk to a bunch of other folks.

And one of the things that I asked both those guys, who are some of the names of players

who maybe didn't get as many reps in 2025 but could make an impact in 2026?

And both of those guys lit up at that question and one of the names that was consistent in answering that question was our guest today. Jared Ivy, Super Bowl champion. Jared Ivy. How are you doing this morning?

I'm doing good, Brian. I appreciate you having me on. and I appreciate all the nice things. So, you know.

Yes.

Yes.

And I, I have to be remiss to say, today's show is brought to you by prize picks.

A new partner we've been working with all year.

So looking forward to sharing more with you about that in a little bit.

But Jared, there's a lot of places I could take this conversation

And Tracy, your mom, she was watching this show, like as soon as you signed, man. And she seems like quite a person.
