Summary

Peter King is on the road driving south, as his training camp tour rolls on. (1:30) Peter takes you through a day in the life on the road, including having tea & scones with an NFL GM. (8:00) Falcons star DT Grady Jarrett discusses what it felt like to sign his big deal, why falling to the 5th round in the Draft wasn't even close to the worst thing that happened to him that weekend, and being inches away from sacking Tom Brady to clinch the Super Bowl. (25:05) Ravens S Earl Thomas opens up about starting a new chapter in Baltimore, why he doesn't regret anything about how things ended in Seattle, and why a training camp conditioning test put him in such a good mood. (32:45) 5 Minutes With a Writer features Jets beat reporter Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Peter & Rich riff on the odd coaching dynamic in the Jets organization, Sam Darnold's California Cool demeanor, and whether or not Le'Veon Bell can be the same patient runner behind this Jets o-line.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Peter King Podcast, from the Road. I'm in Tampa, Florida, and spend the day at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
0:17.0	on my annual training camp tour. So I'm going to bring you a couple of conversations from that tour right here in this
0:24.4	podcast. Had a delightful conversation with Grady Jarrett, the newly rich
0:31.8	defensive tackle of the Atlanta Falcons.
0:34.4	He's risen from the fifth round to one of the highest paid defensive linemen in football
0:39.4	and a really good person.
0:41.3	I think you're going to like them. And also from Baltimore Ravens
0:44.7	Camp in Owings Mills, Maryland, the new Ravens safety and perhaps the new
0:50.2	leader of that proud defense, Earl Thomas, the former Seattle Seahawk.
0:56.3	Does not look back too fondly on the way it ended in Seattle.
1:01.0	But anyway, you'll also hear from Earl Thomas. Also, I'm going to have a
1:04.8	segment on my podcast when I think it's relevant, when I think that there are good
1:10.2	things to say and good people to hear from called five minutes with a writer and
1:15.9	I'm going to start that this week after an incendiary off season with the New York jets
1:20.8	with rich Simini from esSPN.com. I've known Rich forever going back to
1:27.0	when I worked at News Day he's an excellent beat man and so we'll talk to
1:32.1	Rich as well but a few thoughts first. I've had a lot of people over the
1:38.0	years say, wow that's so cool, what's it like being on the road, what you do what's a day like I've actually
1:46.0	thought it's sometimes that I that I really might write what a day in the life of the
1:52.0	training camp tour is like because I've
1:54.7	maintained for a long time that this is the thing that helps me do my job more
