Summary

On this episode of NFL Live, Laura Rutledge is joined by Dan Orlovsky and Mina Kimes as the crew reacts to OTAs getting underway around the NFL. The Kansas City Chiefs are back on the field with veteran Chris Jones and new running back Kenneth Walker in the building, while the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks begin OTAs with rookie running back Jadarian Price generating plenty of buzz. Another rookie to keep an eye on is Eagles wide receiver Makai Lemon as Philadelphia opens camp, and Baker Mayfield is back in action as the Buccaneers get underway in Tampa. Meanwhile, there is a new quarterback in Minnesota; does that mean Kyler Murray has already locked up QB1 status? Dan Orlovsky says the answer comes down to one major factor. Plus, you do not want to miss the comparison one Buccaneers coach made between rookie Ruben Bain and some all-time greats, and why someone on the crew believes his impact could push Tampa Bay to the top of the NFC. There has also been plenty of change in Buffalo, including major defensive changes under new defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, but Mina Kimes explains why none of it matters if the Bills cannot solve one major issue from last season. All that and much more on this episode of NFL Live. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

So glad you're with us today. Football activities off and running. This is a good site to see around the NFL 11 teams beginning their OTA programs today. The Chiefs back in action. Veteran Chris Jones, you just saw, and how about Timith Walker, their new running back in the house and his former team to defending Super Bowl champion Seahawks. They kick off OTAs with their new running back rookie DeVarian Price. Another rookie to watch at his team just this moment is flying around all the OTAs that are happening today. How about evil wide receiver at high limit? Look at him out there. Of course, they made him a priority. They wanted to get him and they've got it. He already looks good.
