What's up, everybody?

Welcome into the next Pat's podcast.

I'm Phil Perry, and boy, do we have some things to talk about, friends.

telling us about how great T. Higgins is,

that he is a legitimate number one receiver,

and that if the Patriots were to sign him, he would change their offense.

through their various channels

that they plan to franchise tag one T. Higgins.

Thereby taking him off the market, essentially, with the goal in mind that they would lock him up

with a long-term contract. Now, in theory, they could tag him and eventually trade him

if they don't feel as though they're able to work anything out. That's a possibility. It's always a

possibility when the tag is in play. But we have to talk about this T. Higgins situation because the

situation hath changed. Friends, we're also going to get to a conversation with Lewis Riddick about Drake May.

You heard just how high he was on Drake May during the season, this past season.

He was on the podcast here talking about how he could be one of the game's greats at this position.

That's how highly he thinks of Drake May.

That's how strongly he believes in his skill set. And you're going to hear

Lewis talk specifically about the marriage between Drake May and Mike Vrable. We get into the

McDaniels-May Union as well, but that feels like ground that we have tread over the course
