You're going to. Oh, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here and returning to the show.

It has been a while. Chris Trappasso Sports Draft analyst Chris we just use the up and throw you out after draft season. That's just how it is but you know what we got to keep checking in what is going on man? How are you? I'm doing really good and this is not quite the, you know, start of the religious

and just, this is a fun time of year for me

to get those first couple looks at

players that I've watched over the last couple years or the last couple months for

the rookies just their first time on an NFL field yes it's just the preseason

but it's better than just you know speculating about how good they're going to be which is pretty much all I do during draft season.

Yeah and you actually start to get a sample size of players in the preseason and I was

joking the other day on the show that of course I'm going to cover every inch of a

Vikings preseason game but you would be hard-pressed to make me watch other preseason games.

You on the other hand have to watch all of the preseason action.

So I've got other players outside of the Vikings to ask you about as well in some of your evaluations.

But there has been so much discussion during Vikings camp
