| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome back into Radio Row and I have found former collegiate linebacker, now Sumer Sports Data Nerd, Sam Brookhouse here with me. |
| 0:16.6 | And we got a lot to discuss, Sam. You know, you threw something at me just before we went on. |
| 0:20.7 | I was going to ask you about how teams can be better at drafting because we know the Vikings have to be. And we will get to that. But you threw a quarterback name at me for an idea for the Minnesota Vikings. I kind of shot you down. So why don't you try again and we'll have a discourse. Okay. Yeah. So now I am |
| 0:37.6 | interviewing on the Purple Insider podcast football. What do you think about Mac Jones? |
| 0:44.5 | Well, uh, Mr. Brokhouse, I, I, look, here's my thing. When it comes to a high floor, |

| 1:33.0 | Like, you know he's a fairly good quarterback. |
| 1:35.0 | But when I look at a Kyler Murray, even a Derek Carr, even a Malik Willis, |
