| 0:00.0 | All right. Back to Drake May versus Jaden Daniels. |
| 0:06.0 | So I most of you know I'm a big Jaden Daniels guy coming out. I was a big Jaden Daniels guy and I'm still a big Jaden Daniels guy. |
| 0:16.6 | I don't even look at some of the numbers that are out there with respect to this past season. |
| 0:22.4 | Why? Because they're irrelevant to me. |
| 0:25.6 | He played four football games start to finish out of 17. |
| 0:30.4 | He played in seven total out of 17. |
| 0:34.6 | In almost every single game he played in, the team was significantly compromised. |
| 0:41.3 | This was one of those years. You chalk up to really bad luck, injury-wise, hard to evaluate. |

| 1:28.5 | The body type is definitely one of those body types you look at and you're like, it looks breakable. |
| 1:35.3 | And he doesn't do the best job of protecting himself, especially in key situations. So is this going to be what we have to deal with in the future? |
| 1:47.6 | I'm not ready to say that because, again, 52 out of 54 college games |
| 1:52.8 | and 20 out of 20 in the NFL. |
| 1:55.8 | I mean, the 17 regular season games, |
| 1:58.8 | and then he did play in three postseason games. |
| 2:04.7 | I am still team Jaden Daniels. I would pick Jaden Daniels if we redrafted right now, |
