Summary

Mel Kiper Jr. is the Godfather of NFL Draft coverage. In recognition of his trailblazing spirit and tireless work ethic, host Chad Millman welcomes Mel to the show, along with Matthew Freedman of the Action Network. Together this trio enjoys a rousing discussion on betting the NFL Combine, as well the evolution of the NFL Draft as a cultural phenomenon, and Mel's rise to Draft prominence from obsessed teen to universally respected ESPN veteran. We also hear from Action Network contributor Michael Calabrese, who shares a heartwarming adolescent story of death, $1.5 million in cash and the Gonzaga Bulldogs, plus a European betting selection from producer and daytime action fiend Matt Mitchell.
