Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider presented by Fandul.

Matthew Collar here, along with Dane Mizatani of the Pioneer Press.

We are inside TCO Performance Center following a very warm and to toasty opening up to OTAs.

We had a chance to see Kyler Murray, J.J. McCarthy, throw some footballs today.
