This is the Athletic Football Show.

Welcome to the Athletic Football Show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Very excited about today's show.

We're kind of kicking off our draft coverage here in earnest on the athletic football show. I'm Robert Mays, very excited about today's show. We're kind of kicking off our draft coverage here in earnest on the athletic football show. And by doing that, we're going to introduce the format that we're going to have every single Thursday, essentially me globbing on to the Prospects to Pro's show that you guys have been listening to for the last six months. I'm the one that's weaseling my way in here.

Joining the two guys who have done a fantastic job on that show, first and foremost, my good friend, Nate Tyson, how you doing, buddy? I love this. I'm back into the kind of finisher scoreer role as opposed to, you know, having, you know, passing, okay, I got set up Dane here, sit up d Dane here, okay, sit in the corner, sit in the corner, okay, yeah, good, good, good job, Dane. So this is a lot more comfortable to see Robert going back into here, and it's just like, I just get to spout these tangents, but we could be with Dane, actually. Well, funny, you should mention that, because the other person joining us today and joining us every week in the run-up to the draft. It is our draft expert at the athletic. Dan Bruegler.

Dane, very good. good to back on a show with you my friend i'm

really looking forward to this oh this is this is going to be fun we've got just over a month left

which is crazy um and just you know peek behind the curtain this is kind of the the worst two-week

stretch of my entire year the final two weeks before the draft guide. So, uh, yeah, like most of the Hayes in the barn at this point, but it's all about the, uh, you know, the injury info's coming in. Um, staying on top of the pro days, there's going to be pro day information for over 1,500 players in the draft guide. So staying on top of all of those, which that's what the month of March is all about,

is the pro days and all those times.

So, you know, getting those times from teams, not going by what the school says or media,

anything like that.

So recording this pod will be a nice change up from watching Division 2 tape with

Bounce House castles blocking the camera and all that so this will be fun it was funny somebody

on Twitter yesterday was just like why would you not have Dane on the show six weeks before the

draft because you weren't on last week and I was like maybe you should talk to Dane about whether

or not he actually didn't want to be on the show last week. He's got 10 million things to do.

Oh, man.

Yeah.

No, it trusts me.

I listen to you guys and I'm like, man, I should be on this. Why? But it's, yeah, there's only so many minutes and hours in the day. It's just, but yeah, we're close. Well, draft guide almost be done, and then it'll be, you know, we can really get cranking.
