Summary
The Cover 3 crew answers listener questions and talks to former Texas A&M standout Trayveon Williams. First, the Big Ol Bag of Mail gets rolling with a question of what’s the “worst” team that the 2010 version of Cam Newton could have led to a national championship in 2021 (2:00). Then it’s on to more listener questions on quarterback competitions (12:30) in fall camp and the recent history of Week Zero in college football (25:00). Former Texas A&M and current Cincinnati Bengals running back Trayveon Williams then stops by (29:03) for a wide-ranging discussion that covers NIL, his new role as a professor at Texas A&M’s law school, the needs of the modern athlete and his expectations for the Aggies in 2022. Finally it’s back to the mailbag to talk Tennessee’s ceiling under Josh Heupel (45:00), the uphill battle for Northeastern schools to achieve national relevance (53:00) and more!
