This is the Athletic Football Show.

Welcome to the Athletic Football Show.

I'm Robert Mays, one of my favorite shows of the year on tap today. We did the quarterback draft on the Athletic Football Show. I'm Robert Mays, one of my favorite shows of the year on tap today.

We did the quarterback draft on the Athletic Football Show last week with my buddy's

Derek Classen and Deontalee.

15 guys next three years, contracts included.

Today, it is the non-quarterback version of that exercise.

is getting started for us this afternoon, so I'm locked in, ready to go. Exciting times.
