This is the Athletic Football show's football GM podcast.

Welcome, everybody, to the football GM podcast.

Mike Sando here along with the GM, Randy Mueller.

of being with the athletic in this capacity to go to these all-star games for us

and i'm super excited because during the draft last year and even the year before that

we always got great nuggets but now we've got you there. I mean, you're getting like another
