This is the athletic football show's Prospects to Prosons.

Hello, welcome to Prospects to Prosks to Pros. I am Nate Tice, your host today. We have the Combine invites to go over. It is February. We're after the Super Bowl. We're right into the Combine. This is what the great thing about having 18 weeks. They say great things. There's only two weeks from the Super Bowl to the Combine. Everybody involved in the league really loves it. But to help me go over the Combine invites and over his special new top 100 big board is the athletics draft expert, the Mr. Beast himself. Dane Bruegler. How are you doing today? Dane, great to see you. By the way, we took a little break. So it's great to have you back and great to see your face. It's great to see you, too. I felt like I was in Vegas with you guys. You and Robert just crushed it. Everyone else in the podcast feed did great. I mean, it was, it was a lot of fun to

follow along with you guys. How was it? Did you, did you enjoy it? I mean, it's your home base, but so you weren't on the road, but you had the home field advantage. So that kind of, kind of played into it. How'd the week go for you? It did. I had a little cold last week, and then now I am over the cold,

but then now exhausted from the Super Bowl week.

Yeah, the home field advantage definitely does matter, though. At first, I thought it wasn't, you know, because we have a one year old and it's like, all right, I'm not going to get to sleep, but I'm so used to that anyways, even if I'm out like a little later than I usually am. I was pretty good the whole week, actually, though. But the, but the thing was is every night I get to go to my bed, my pillow, my hand-selected pilsoma pillow. And we're not sponsored by a pillow company, so we're good. And then also in the bed that we love that we got from Costco. And every night got to wake up to my coffee, all my snacks my breakfast so over the eight days as i saw

everybody else wither away i was i think i hit my uh second wind as the week went along so it was

fantastic though thank you so much for the compliments that texie sounds was really sweet of you so i

really appreciate that that's such an advantage uh i mean just like going one reason i love the combine is I can drive there and I don't have to

worry about flights and, you know, I can bring my own stuff with me.

And so like that right there feels like an advantage for me.

But to have it in your home city, that's got to be, make the week go by just a little

bit better.

But to your point, this is, we're full steam ahead now to the 2024-unfled draft, all 32

teams.

And I think it's interesting this time of year, this is when the actual draft boards

start to really take shape for teams.

And it's kind of like long story short, and every team's a little different, but most teams starting last week, you know, once you get past East West Shrine, once you get past the senior bowl, they do all their cross checks there.
