Summary
Big Sal hasn't even finished his second cup of coffee and he's already screaming at the TV. Every talking head on NFL Network is losing their mind over Arkansas QB Taylen Green — 4.36 forty, 43.5-inch vertical, six-foot-six and 227 pounds of pure athletic spectacle. But Big Sal has one question: can the kid actually play quarterback?
- Taylen Green went 2-10 at Arkansas with 11 interceptions, a 38.6% completion rate under pressure, and 27 sacks — but sure, let's crown him because he can jump
- The NFL graveyard is full of combine freaks: Anthony Richardson (benched for Flacco), JaMarcus Russell (25 starts, done), Vernon Gholston (zero sacks in three years), and Stephen Hill (45 career catches)
- Tom Brady ran a 5.28 forty, looked like a substitute math teacher at the combine, and won seven Super Bowls — the stopwatch doesn't measure what's between your ears
- This QB class is weak after Fernando Mendoza, and desperation plus combine hype is a dangerous combination

| 0:00.0 | Let me tell you something, Pac Nation. So I am sitting there Saturday morning. My daughter is |
| 0:16.7 | eat the cereal. My wife is doing a crossword puzzle. The house is quiet for once in my life, |
| 0:22.2 | and I turn on the NFL network, and within four seconds, four seconds, I am screaming at my |
| 0:29.4 | television like a lunatic. You know why? Because every single jabroney on that broadcast is losing |
| 0:37.0 | their minds over a quarterback from Arkansas |
| 0:40.4 | who could jump over a Cadillac. |
| 0:43.1 | Tailin Green, 6'427 pounds, runs a 4.3640, jumps 43 and a half inches in the vertical, a quarterback record, and suddenly every |
| 0:58.1 | meatball with a microphone is acting like we just discovered the next coming of greatness. |
| 1:04.9 | And my daughter, she's 11 years old. |
| 1:07.0 | She looks at me and goes, Daddy, why are you yelling about jumping? |
| 1:13.7 | And you know what? She's asking the right question. Why are we yelling about jumping? Stay with me here. Stay with me because I am about to |
| 1:20.5 | take you to school. This kid, and I am not hating on the kid, let me be clear. This kid played at Arkansas. The Razorbacks |
| 1:29.7 | went two and ten last season. Two and ten. He completed about 60% of his passes. Through |

| 1:50.0 | And under real pressure, are you hearing this? |
| 1:54.0 | 38.6% completion rate. |
| 1:58.0 | He got sacked 27 times in one season, but oh, oh, he can jump. Well, that changes |
| 2:06.8 | everything, does it not? Let me tell you a story. My buddy Gary Pletcher, you all know Gary. Gary used to |
| 2:13.6 | work at the lumberyard off Route 41. Nicest guy you will ever meet. One summer, |
| 2:19.7 | Gary enters this log splitting contest at the county fair. He destroys everybody. Fastest time, |
| 2:28.1 | clean splits, people are cheering, Gary is flexing. The whole town is talking about it. So Gary decides, I am going to |
