Every Team, every topic, everywhere.

This is Believe.

It's the Lock-on Podcast Network, your team every day.

Oh yeah, better than this. I don't know what I'm doing. I can't do this shit. And the What's better than this guy being dudes here on the draft dudes podcast presented by locked on it's Joe Marino and Kyle Crafts from the draft network and we are your

hosts on this Thursday edition of the show We're still fresh off the NFL scouting combine

We're trying to choke up on the bat a little bit and get some of these

how do you quantify the combine and how do you not overreact to the athletic testing so this will be a good exercise for some folks I think to kind of hear how that thought process works for us and how we're able to

adjust to these evaluations as we were receiving this final chalk of information.

I did, yeah.

Were you good at it?

Oh, a catcher.

Yeah, that's because I think I could make the throw across the diamond like with some

level of consistency
