0:00.0	A Super Talk, Mississippi Media Production.
0:05.0	All right, back on track alphabetically today on the spring wraparound series.
0:09.1	We'll do Kentucky with our friend John Hale from the Lexington Herald leader.
0:13.6	John will love us off to the NFL, likely a top 10 pick, depending on which mock draft you look at.
0:19.6	But is it possible that Kentucky is a little
0:22.1	more consistent this year at quarterback with Devin Leary there? It's possible. I mean, obviously,
0:28.3	the first step is Devin Leary has to stay healthy. He tore his pectoral muscle, I think game
0:34.8	six at NC State last year missed the rest of the season.
0:38.3	He was healthy enough to be a full participant in spring.

1:01.1	He threw 35 touchdowns and five interceptions that year. So we know at his best, he's one of the
1:05.9	best quarterbacks in the country. And I definitely think you can make the argument that while he's not anywhere
1:11.6	close to the NFL draft prospect, Will Levis is, he might be a better college quarterback.
1:16.5	Plus, everyone around him should be better this year than they were for Willis. All those
1:20.9	receivers are a year older. They're rebuilding the offensive line. That will help him a lot, too.
1:26.6	So I think there's, you know, I think the odds
1:28.7	would suggest the offense is better this year, even though they lost a possible top 10 pick.
