It is not a veteran's job to mentor their replacement

It's not Ryan [Tannehill's] job to mentor the young guy. Like he takes on the young guys. It's definitely a young guy's job they're like pick, get as much from the vet as you fucking can... You never think I'm going to go out of my way and do like, this is in my job responsibility or my job description to mentor somebody else to teach you.

Derrick Henry's long legs are detrimental in short yardage

I had this theory that Derrick Henry has super long legs for his height. ...

Andrew Luck was never an elite quarterback because he ordered chicken at a steakhouse

It is not Ryan Tannehill's job to mentor Malik Willis

I've got a couple of things to say about this first thing, is it he's right. It's not his job to like teach another man how to take your job. I don't think there's a workplace in America where that's your expectation to train somebody to make you unemployed.

It's impossible to tell if Hugh Jackson was intentionally throwing games or just being Hugh Jackson

The NFL just conducted an investigation to Hugh Jackson's claims that he was paid to throw games and they concluded that. No, it's literally impossible to tell whether or not Hugh Jackson was intentionally losing games or if he was just being Hugh Jackson... there's not a jury in the world that would convict him of doing anything intentionally.

The Eagles and Ravens absolutely destroyed the 2022 NFL Draft

Regrettably, I think that the Eagles killed this draft. I think they just destroyed it. Like when they got Nakobe Dean, I think everybody who was watching was like, oh yeah, that guy should have been the first overall pick. ... I think I might put a future on the Baltimore Ravens set it right now. ... [They're] just going to run the ball and play defense and have a bunch of fucking crazy ass dudes on defense.

Baker Mayfield's trade value is now only a fourth or fifth round pick

Going—if you had asked this at the start of last year, what would Baker Mayfield be on the open market? Probably like, I don't know, second round pick or something like that feels right now. It's like he's a fourth or fifth round pick. Crazy.

Jordan Davis is a lazy player who takes plays off

He [Jordan Davis] has a fast 40 time, but if he had to run the 40 ten times, his drop-off in times would probably be very [high]... they had video of it in the Alabama game, him taking plays off.

The Ravens are hesitant to fully commit to Lamar Jackson as their long-term quarterback

I think the Ravens are kind of weird about [Lamar]. I don't think that the Ravens—yeah, they love him because he's a great quarterback and he's an MVP, but I think that they're like a little hesitant to go all in on Lamar Jackson being like the cemented quarterback of the future.

The Steelers are a top-five landing spot for any rookie quarterback

If you're a quarterback and you list where you could go, the Steelers have to be top five just because... they know what they are. Consistency, head coaching, front [office]... as a quarterback, it's gotta be a dream to go to the Steelers.

Trayvon Walker will be the #1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft

I think Trayvon Walker is going to be the pick for Jacksonville, which is a surprise, but that's based on conversations in the last three, four days. Honestly, I thought all along that they would go with Aiden Hutchinson.

No team in the top 19 picks will draft a quarterback unless they trade up

I'll be shocked that if a team in the top 19 picks that didn't trade up, takes a quarterback... I don't see Seattle at nine taking a quarterback. I think you're going to see the run happen where it should happen. These quarterbacks are back half of the first and early second round quarterbacks.

Wide receiver, you could argue has become the second, most valuable position in the NFL. Just look at all the contracts this off season.

If one back is going to go in the first round, I would say it's Breece Hall. And I think the most likely team to take them would be the bills at 25.

Trayvon Walker will be a bust

I want to say Trayvon Walker, just because like I'm a traits over production guy and that's what the whole draft is... we haven't seen it on field... What are we doing here? ... I would say if I would pick one bust, it would be him.

Quay Walker is a lock to be drafted in the first round and will go before Nakobe Dean

They're like record... Super bowl. Super bowl winner. Yes.

Kenny Pickett will have a career similar to Alex Smith or Ryan Tannehill

I think Pickett feels like, I feel like he's got a high, a high floor. He's kind of like, if you're looking at what he can be, I think of a guy like Alex Smith, the career that he had, I could see Pickett having that type of a career. You know, Tannehill, Alex Smith.

The Saints will not draft a quarterback in the first round

I don't think New Orleans is taking one [a QB]. I know they acquired the extra first round pick, but everything I've kind of heard you go out and you sign Andy Dalton and you've already got Jameis. Like you're going to end up probably having to release one of those guys. If you draft a quarterback, she probably not going to carry three. So that, that doesn't make as much sense for them.

Aidan Hutchinson is the best player in the 2022 NFL Draft

I just keep going back to the fact like you just got off the Urban Meyer rollercoaster, like let's just take, take Aidan Hutchinson, just put it right in the middle of the fairway here. ... I think he's the best player in the draft personally.

Garrett Wilson is the best wide receiver in the 2022 class

I love Garrett Wilson from Ohio State. I just think he does everything... he's one of those guys. You can play him outside. You can play him inside. He's got real speed... and he plays that way, but he's strong. To me he's my top guy.

Baker Mayfield will be traded by the end of draft weekend

I'm going to say that actually, I'm going to say Baker does. I'm going to say Baker does [get traded]. I could see Baker and Carolina for a pick next year though, that that wouldn't surprise me.

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.

My hatred for Aaron Rodgers is far greater than my hatred for Coach K

My hatred for Coach K is a five alarm fire. My hatred for Aaron Rodgers is literally the sun, the surface of the sun. So it's not even close, like not even close. This has been miserable for me.

Dan Snyder's financial theft from other owners will be what finally forces him to sell the team

Dan Snyder... Apparently Snyder was lying about how much money he was getting into his gate.

And so it looks like if anything's going to happen, this would be what could bring Dan Snyder down.

Tom Brady returned to the Buccaneers on the condition that Bruce Arians was removed as head coach

Todd Bowles is a top 10 NFL head coach

You look at the flaws of the other teams and then you have Tom Brady and in the continuity it's like, all right, Bucs will be in the playoffs.

I am the greatest 7th round draft pick underdog in NFL history

I'm a seven round draft pick. That's why I call myself the greatest underdog seven round draft pick here I am in going into year eight. And I kind of proved myself to be one of the best offensive tackles in the game.

The Raiders medical staff almost killed me by accidentally putting air into my veins via IV

That shit just got air. I got air in my veins... they almost killed me. You know what I mean? They basically weren't paying attention... I was laid out on the floor. Like basically I was just sitting there, they pull out the syringe or whatever. And then I pass out. I didn't, I couldn't feel my limbs. I'm shaking. I'm sweating. Jesus. Like, you know what I mean?

Patrick Mahomes will make B+ wide receivers look like A-tier players

Patrick Mahomes' productivity will drop significantly without Tyreek Hill

I honestly think Patrick Mahomes' productivity is going to go way down without Tyreek Hill and Tyreek Hill would've done way better with Zach Wilson. Well, think about how many times Tyreek Hill bailed out a bad pass by Patrick Mahomes.

Matt Ryan is still an above-average quarterback

I like the move. I don't know. I know Matt Ryan gets shit on. I think he's an above-average quarterback. He probably doesn't have many years left.
