John Middlekauff is a Volume podcast colleague and the host of the wildly popular football show 3 & Out, available now on Netflix. Together our trio discusses the Super Bowl matchup, including the redemption arcs for Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold and New England coach Mike Vrabel. We hear John's initial thoughts on the game, as well as his opinion on the Patriots' defense and the skillset of wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Will quarterback Drake Maye and running back Rhamondre Stevenson do enough for the underdog Patriots to win outright? Or will Seattle's young defensive genius Mike Macdonald prove too much for them? All of these questions answered and more. #Volume
