Summary
Best-selling author and longtime ESPN writer Seth Wickersham has become an expert on how NFL quarterbacks become elite and how professional teams evaluate the quarterback position. That expertise comes from years hearing it directly from NFL legends like Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Sean Payton, Steve Young, and others.
Today, hosts Chad Millman and Simon Hunter welcome back Seth to discuss his take on the 2026 NFL Draft class of quarterbacks, including Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza, Alabama’s Ty Simpson, and LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier. We also hear about his experiences as an embedded reporter with the Denver Broncos throughout last season's playoff run, which led to some incredible moments involving quarterback Bo Nix. They also tackle "helmet scouting," system quarterbacks, how opposing coaches bait star quarterbacks in big games, and so much more. #Volume
