| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fanduel. |
| 0:10.2 | Matthew Collar here. |
| 0:11.3 | And look who it is, Chris Trapaso, who has moved over to the TikTok world. |
| 0:16.7 | So make sure you go check out his analysis every week there, breaking down the National Football League. |
| 0:22.9 | Chris, for many years, you have been the official draft analyst of the Purple Insider Show. |
