Jalen Milroe's small hands are a major problem for his draft stock

Jalen Milroe has insanely small hands. Eight and three fourth inches. To put it into perspective, it would be the smallest hands of any first round quarterback ever taken. And in 2022, only one starting NFL QB had his hand size under nine inches... and it was Taysom Hill. Not good.

Andy Reid also has a bucket list... it's just eating in different countries. My prediction, they win the Super Bowl, he probably goes to France. Eats his way through France.

Caleb Williams is 'popping' because he already has dedicated haters before the draft

If you ain't got no haters, you ain't popping... So Caleb Williams is popping... The anonymous scouts are going off about Caleb Williams... saying things like, you remember he paints his nails? ...

Patrick Mahomes is already underpaid

When I first saw this, I thought like, Patrick Mahomes is already kind of underpaid. Oh yeah. So he signed that $500 million contract. What, two, three years ago.

Dan Snyder is finished as an NFL owner because he took money from other owners

I think Dan Snyder has done. I think that motherfucker is done... it's been proven through the other books that have been released now, the documents that have been sent to Congress, that he was taking money out of the pockets of Jerry Jones out of all the other owners. And if there's one thing like you can have 40 sexual harassment claims against you. If you take money from the other owners, that's when they're going to do something about it.

Andrew Luck looks extremely happy and appears to have zero interest in returning to football

Matt Nagy is now a full-blown clown car

Matt Nagy, because I think actually now he's full clown car... afterwards he left his press conference. He finished his press conference.

My cool throne is Jameis Winston. Cause he's incredible... unbelievable shut up about Taysom Hill... These [media] people were going in on how Taysom Hill didn't get a real shot. Taysom Hill is getting paid a lot of money to be a gimmick quarterback. And he should be happy with how much like he's in that sweet spot. He should never try to do too much because everyone was like, wow, what a great weapon that he is when he has to throw the ball 30 times. He's not a great weapon.

The Bears naming Andy Dalton QB1 with no competition is stupid

Only the Bears. Only Matt Nagy would name his QB one before you even have training camp... What I'm not okay with is being like, there's no competition. Every successful football team ever basically is like, yeah, it's always a competition.
