Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fanduel, Matthew Collar here, and Chrisrapasso, the official draft analyst of Purple Insider,

0:23.1

back from the NFL Combine.

0:25.6

We've got all the workouts taken care of now in the books.

0:29.5

We've got actual numbers.

0:30.6

We've got still issues with how long people's arms are, Chris.
