Welcome back to Irish Illustrated insider. I'm Tim O'Malley, joined today by Drew Mettock of Irish Illustrated and John Bryce, who will be known later this month as John Bryce of USA Today. Congratulations, John. And while J.B. was sending me mean-spirited, taunting pictures of the Strand in Manhattan Beach over the weekend. Drew was instead doing God's work in Indianapolis covering the NFL's scouting combine, where Jeremiah Love ran as fast as I expected.

Price and Fields did not.

Rairden ran faster.

But I want to lead to you, Drew, were you involved in the McKay-Lennon interview at all?

Or do you want to just go into the Notre Dame stuff?

I didn't see that, but it does sound like his personality is getting him some attention he probably doesn't

want on right now so it sounds like maybe that's also how he interviewed so we'll see how that

plays out for a guy who is thought to me maybe even go ahead of Jeremiah Love so it sounds like

one they're going opposite directions right now but we'll see but yeah as you mentioned jeremiah

love was honestly maybe one of the biggest stories coming out of the combine just i think a lot of

NFL draft analysts even just like todd mitchie didn't think he was going to be that fast so i don't

know if it's maybe a nor name perception or something like that but i think going out and do a

four three six and almost seeming disappointed after it,

I think got him a lot of attention. Eli Raredin, as you mentioned, also had a good day. He was a little

lighter. He dropped down to 245, which it was very much intentional. He called it his combine weight,

but then ran a 462, which amongst tight ends who ran at at the NFL combine is the fastest by a nerdame tight end.

That's slightly shorter than Tommy Trembal, who didn't have a combine because of COVID, but it's faster than Tyler.

Eiffurt ran a 4-6-8.

He also, Rared in jump, I think, 38 inches in the vertical.

His athletic score was off the chart.

So even though he's a little lighter than you wanted, he still came out big.

He was six foot six.
