| 0:00.4 | What are you going to do with Jamal Williams? Are you resigning him? |
| 0:05.6 | I'm saying no. I know a lot of focus has been on the quarterbacks in this year's |
| 0:10.6 | draft. David, they were a lot of running backs that unless you are absolutely in love |
| 0:19.2 | and you think that this man is as a leader of the team, be, you don't even have to go |
| 0:24.4 | be John. I think be John is going to be the only running back to go in the first round. |
| 0:27.9 | Let me give you some other names for those who watch college football. |
| 0:32.4 | Jamir Gibbs running back from Alabama. Zach Evans running back from Ole Miss. |
| 0:39.9 | Here's a name that a lot of people in the state of Michigan should remember. |
| 0:43.3 | Zach Charbonne, UCLA. You may have forgotten about him. Zach went out to UCLA and started |
| 0:50.2 | doing some stuff. And we didn't need him. Tank Bigsby, Auburn. Okay? |
| 0:56.4 | Mo Ibrahim from Minnesota. That's my favorite. Funstead about him. He got injured this year |
| 1:05.3 | and he missed a couple of games. But David, I think he only had four or five plays in his |

| 1:21.6 | Even when he's tackling the backfield, he can somehow get two or three yards. He does not get |
| 1:26.8 | negative yards at all. So there's guys there that I look at and even if you want to just stand |
| 1:33.6 | in the big 10, there's Chase Brown from Illinois. The one that I like and I'm sorry, David, |
| 1:41.2 | you kind of saw a little bit of him before he got hurt. Kendra Miller, TCU. Kendra Miller, |
| 1:47.3 | he's really good. And right now like this website, I'm looking at he's the 16th best running |
| 1:53.2 | back coming out. Now this could all change with the combine. He's the 16th best, which means |
| 1:58.8 | you could probably get him third, fourth, fifth, brown. And I think he can walk right in there |
| 2:05.2 | six feet tall. He's got a four five four five 40. Yeah. But you saw what he did in the game |
| 2:13.6 | against Michigan. He just he went out there and just got it done. They're younger. You draft |
