Every player that I talk about tonight I think can Will and should be drafted in the first round of the NFL draft college football’s never been better interest has never been higher believe that we are at the dawn of the golden age of college football it was an epic day of college

This this is going to be a great a great show just a reminder for those of you I love covering the draft because I love college football right this is a college football podcast but I also cover the draft because these are the players that

I love in that I’ve covered for many of them for the last three four and and five years um I am on the NFL Network’s draft coverage I’m on night one and night two on their main desk with Rich Eisen and Daniel Jeremiah and Charles

Davis so I will be back there again for the first round as well as the uh night two on Friday night um from Detroit for rounds two and three so I’ll be there and diving into these players but I like to give you all of my thoughts here

First because that’s what you deserve after following college football with me and being a fan of the show uh and I very much appreciate it let’s get into it top quarterbacks available in this year’s draft and first and foremost this is a great quarterback draft it really

Is this is a deep quarterback draft this is as good of a quarterback draft at least on paper to this point that we’ve had in a long time maybe back to the 80s 1983 possibly it’s very deep there is a mixture of the traditional talented three years and done player and then

You’ve also got some of these guys that have played a ton of football transferred around had a Co year and they’re very experienced and old players so you’ve got this perfect storm of events that have happened in the last few years in college football that have kept players in college football kept

Them around and they have also allowed guys to flourish like it always has earlier in their careers so now we’ve got what I would consider to be as deep and as good of a quarterback classes as we’ve seen a long time those of you who have watched the mock draft already know

I have assigned six quarterbacks my first round mock draft I get it that’s a lot but they deserve it they deserve it it’s not hyperboy it’s not a reach these guys at worst are in the top 40 35 players available in the draft by the way my top 50 list will be dropping

Sometime later in this draft season closer to the draft I will be prepping you for that during this entire sequence of events during draft season and dropping my top 50 players available as we get closer to Detroit so tonight is is the top quarterbacks and they are all

Fantastic I want to give a giant preface my biggest pet peeve and problem with the draft coverage is that and and and actually doing this is that in order to evaluate players you have to rank them and inevitably I I’ll have a player on this list rated below another

Player because that’s what what rankings are and inevitably in the comments below you’re going to find why do you hate this guy I don’t that’s why I started with this is a great quarterback draft every player that I talk about tonight I think can Will and should be drafted in the

First round of the NFL draft they are our really good players very good players and I can’t wait to talk to them right here great quarterback draft one of the things that I love about this draft is that there’s not a lot of projection needed these guys have played

A ton of football every one of these guys has started at least 25 games we don’t have kind of the an Anthony Richardson where we got to project out or Trey Lance where you got to project out these guys have experience I love that because I’m a big believer that

Experienced quarterbacks have more success than the National Football League if you look at the guys that have won Super Bowls since Tom Brady won his first Super Bowl all the way back now basically this Century you will find that on the average these guys play a

Ton in college well over 30 starts on average a lot of them well over a thousand attempts in college they win a lot of games obviously and it helps if they’re a winner but most importantly they’re experienced in all of these guys are so let’s start with number one and I don’t

Think it’s it’s any surprise it’s Caleb Williams Caleb Williams is my number one quarterback uh available on this draft now I have said before and I think a lot of people and you’re going to continue to hear this is like well he does a lot of things like momes and he’s even

Better than Mahomes was in college and all of those things are true but let’s not just stop there I want to try to as as best I can explain why I think Caleb is a generational Talent at the quarterback position why is he my top quarterback in a quarterback heavy draft

And the reason is is because I find it incredibly rare and in fact it generally never happens where a quarterback that I evaluate is excellent in all five categories that I’m trying to evaluate him and Williams is he is top level talent in every category and here’s those categories I talked about that

These categories this fall when I was talking about Williams on on some of the broadcast number one one controlling the game from the pocket is is do you have the ability from the pocket to just stand there receive the snap and an a post Snap read control the game from the

Pocket do you have that ability I always start with that because generally speaking that’s the thing that always holds everybody back in the National Football League post Snap making decisions controlling the game from the pocket do you have the ability to do that Williams does and he’s and he

Showed amazing uh um ability to do that at times so again top end in every one of these categories arm Talent do you have the requisite arm and how talented is it this guy’s arm Talent is off the charts in particular when he’s out of

The pocket which I’ll get to in a in a moment he makes every single throw it’s strong down the field he’s accurate in the intermediate zones he can change angles he’s got an incredibly talented arm category number three movement and creating can you move in the pocket get

Yourself free can you create without being a threat as a runner can you create time and space in order to be a threat as a passer eyes downfield and then hurt the defense outside of the pocket I don’t know if anybody has ever done that at least that I’ve evaluated

Okay at least that I’ve evaluated better than Caleb Williams this is his superpower right here in category number three movement and creating when he’s on the move he is most dangerous very similar to Mom in a lot of ways and the reason is is because there’s a

Combination of that arm talent and the ability to continue to know what’s going on down the field he is accurate on the run off platform so he gets himself loose and we’ve seen this time and time again right he gets himself loose in the pocket he escapes and his eyes stay

Downfield and then boom laser beam and he scores a touchdown throws a touchdown that’s his superpower right there arm strength and accuracy on the Move excuse me gu’s ridiculous in in that one number four can you be a threat just straight with your legs top end this guy is top

End right there’s not many that were better than him so it didn’t matter if he was just creating in the pocket or outside he could also be a threat as a runner just ask oh you in fact his first meaningful football as a college quarterback was basically a fourth down

Run in which he was stopped initially and then ran for a touchdown against Texas in the in the Red River game Sooners come back and win that game wasn’t going well for them they put remember they bench Rattler they they put in Caleb Williams when Lincoln was

There and that fourth down run I know sooner fans don’t want to like think about the fact that Lincoln and Williams left but they did and that’s what we were initially graced with was his ability to hurt you with his legs and then the last thing is just your mind do

You have the schematic ability in your mind to understand what’s going on on the football field and he does he has that I’ve talked to him at length um about schematics I’ve talked to his coaches about what he understands about schematics the guy understands what’s going on he gets the game of football

And so when I look at those five categories normally normally when I’m evaluating these quarterbacks for the draft there’s always at least one where you say uh average to below average in that category but he’s so good in the other ones that it makes up for it right

There’s there’s guys like that all over the place the Rarity is to find someone that is exceptional in all five so why is Caleb Williams a generational talent and why is he number one on many lists including mine is because this guy is topend excellent in all five categories that I

Evaluate and that’s one of the most rare things uh in this at least this POS uh position and profession I would also encourage people don’t get bored with the fact that we’ve known this for a long time generally speaking uh our society gets bored with greatness you

Know oh we don’t like it when you know people win backtack titles oh you know Michael Jordan didn’t win MVP every year why because people got bored was he the best player yes of course of course and I think people get or got bored with Caleb Williams and we

Expected so much out of him and when their season didn’t go well at USC we all were just kind of like well you know maybe he’s not the best quarterback yes no no no yes he is yes he is don’t get bored with our initial thoughts and and

I I would just encourage people to remember that we’ve known he was going to be the number one pick for a long time and and if and if he’s not I believe that that is I believe that is Chasing Ghosts if a team doesn’t select Caleb Williams

Number one overall I think it’s Chasing Ghosts I mean it it happens in this sport it happens in the draft process uh but I don’t think it’ll happen this year um last thing that that I want to get into with Caleb here is is just a quick peek in what his year was

Like a lot of times and by the way this goes for all of these quarterbacks and a lot of these players by the way there was always a question from NFL decision makers like what is he going to be like once he gets some money what is he going

To be like uh in our locker room you know once once he’s rich and and the General consensus was always that money is an accelerator whatever you are you will be more of that people don’t generally change with money right so if you’re a problem in

College you’re going to be a problem in the NFL and maybe even more so because you’ve got some money well now we’ve got case studies of what these guys were like as college players with money and in Caleb’s case a lot of it a lot of it in Los

Angeles and so you’re not going to have to wonder what this kid is like you know just go talk to his coaches what was it like and and and a lot of ways it’s going to be so much easier for him going into the National Football League

Because it won’t feel like he’s in two different worlds where he’s he’s practicing with guys that are talking about their you know English Lit test and what they’re going to eat on a budget those are some of his teammates and he’s going to his penous and he’s making $4 million a year right

So I mean like that’s actually kind of more difficult than what he’s going to do in the National Football League so that’s just something to kind of keep in the in the back of of your mind he didn’t play his greatest football this last year but I still think all the

Things that I that I talked about are still true number two Drake May from North Carolina Drake May um is as good as I’ve seen in a long long time let me put it to you very simply if it wasn’t for Caleb Williams Drake May would be the

Slam dunk number one pick in this draft and and I don’t think that it’s that close you know I I think that these two guys are are separated from the rest of the quarterback pack even some of these other really good players th this guy has

Talent like like I haven’t seen in a long time he’s a better College version of what Josh Allen was and College he makes throws from the pocket outside of the pocket you know he his ceiling is so high now Granite I might be spoiled because I saw him live one time covered

Their Holiday Bowl against Oregon those of you watching uh this show are seeing some of those highlights he made a couple of throws with guys by the way they had some guys opting out they didn’t have a lot of great players on the outside and this dude made some

Throws against a really good Oregon team that blew my mind like especially for a Young quarterback they blew my mind his ceiling he and Caleb Williams make plays and make throws that other guys cannot make both on schedule and off schedu okay like they they do things

That everyone else just has to tip their cat cap it’s it’s like you know like we’re about to have the Olympics and in I think I’m saying this right in gymnastics there’s like level of difficulty so basically there are some gymnasts that have a higher point point potential than other gymnasts so they

Can afford a mistake because their routine has just a higher level of difficulty I’m almost certain I’m saying this right right and so like they just have a higher potential a higher ceiling a a higher Point potential that’s May and Caleb Williams they do they do things that other guys can’t touch they

Just can’t touch so the other guys have just got to like stay in their Lane and and do what they do really well because May and Williams are physically more gifted than the other quarterbacks on the list let me put it to you this way if you were going back to the Andrew

Luck draft so that’s that’s basically 10 drafts okay 10 drafts and and you look at basically let’s let’s just call it the top two quarterbacks taken in all of those drafts so think about some of the names that I’m about to read off so since since luck and and RG3 you’ve had

Ejem Manuel and Gino Smith Blake Bortles and Johnny Manzel Winston and Mariota gof and Wentz trabis and momes which sounds insane that trabis was select whatever selected higher than Mahomes Mayfield and darnold Murray and Daniel Jones Joe burrow and Tua Trevor Lawrence and Zack Wilson Kenny picket

And Desmond Ritter third round in 2022 and then Bryce young and CJ Stroud if you’re just taking those names top two quarterbacks taken in each of those drafts and you start ranking them as prospects as prospects how would you rate them as prospects if they were all in this

Draft I think it’s very easily that Caleb Williams and Drake May are in the top four I think for me it’s Lawrence burrow and Williams and May like that’s don’t get bored with the fact that we have known that this guy is great for a long time he’s still only 21

Years old he won’t turn 22 until August 30th uh he’s closer to Caleb than than Jaden Daniels is to him you know than number three is to Drake I think I just kind of unveiled number three there uh right there which we can do that because

That’s what this guy that top two is separated and and the reason is is ceiling it’s potential like May and Williams do things that these other guys just cannot do just cannot do and these other guys are great players and number three is Jaden Daniels now Daniels is

Also I would say like a five tool type of player just went through those tools and and he does all of those really well maybe not some of them to the level that Caleb Williams does or Drake May does but others he does even better he’s more

Of a threat with his legs than all the others he’s been an unbelievable runner in college football ran for over 1100 yards last season but he is Slender that can be a concern can he run around like he did in college probably not he’s 64 210 I love how experienced this guy is

He’s played a ton of football 55 starts in his college career 26 of them at LSU in the SEC he was incredible last year on his way to the Heisman Trophy averaged over 400 yards of total offense per game including 95 per game on the ground so again like he is a threat

Every one of those five tools you see elements of during the course of evaluating him now did he play with some outstanding wide receivers yes yes yes he did and was it easier for him to put up some of those numbers yeah and is it harder to evaluate him for the next

Level because of neighbors and Brian Thomas yes that being said this guy is highly skilled and again I’ll go back to that experience I’m a big believer in experience going into the National Football League and 55 starts is is a lot that is a lot we talked about Bo

Knicks with 61 starts well you know here’s Daniels and he’s right behind him with 55 what I thought he did so well during the course of his career he he went from what I thought was like a really athletic and dynamic player athletically on the field at ASU to a guy that was

Controlling the game from the pocket so he was more well-rounded a five2 player rather than great in one or two areas early in his career at ASU he developed into a guy that showed the elements necessary to be really good in all five categories that you evaluate and again

Just a reminder what are those five categories I talked about them pocket control can you control the game from the pocket arm Talent do you have it movement and creating how good are you when things break down and you can’t just be a runner number four how are you

As a runner are you a threat to the defense with your legs and then what is your mind like do you understand the schematics of the sport and I think Daniels really developed in a lot of those categories he was much better getting the ball out on time and on

Target especially late in his career now granted he had qual quity wide receivers to do that but that that was what I felt like was the the the proper maturation that you saw from him from a quarterback standpoint so Daniels is number three at number four you know I toyed

Around with this guy at number three because I gotta tell you like I’m just a huge fan um before the season I was talking about this guy I told you he was the Dark Horse for the Heisman Trophy I ended up voting for him for the Heisman Trophy he does one

Thing through the roof well like incredible and it’s the one thing that you see quarterbacks have to do the most in playoff situations and that is control the game with with leverage throws from the pocket In the Heat of the Moment can you do that and Michael pennick does that as well as

Any of these players now is he deficient in some of these five categories sure sure and yeah there’s going to be going to be a lot of questions about his injury History Two knees a shoulder I will say he he just played two full seasons without reinjuring himself and

He was on the field and he was reliable in the last couple of seasons and again this guy from the pocket nobody was required to to control the game from the pocket in college more than Michael pinnick they didn’t win unless he was controlling the game from the pocket his

Ability to understand the schematics of defense and then throw with leverage down the field is second to none his ability to throw the ball with leverage deep down the field is uncanny and when I say leverage and I’ve talked about it a little bit on this this podcast when

You watch highlights of him and those of you on YouTube are seeing some of those highlights right now when you watch highlights of him what you see is that even if he’s throwing the ball 30 40 50 yards down field he’s missing on the correct side the ball has

Proper leverage he’s always putting his player between the ball and the defender so the ball is always away from the defender it drives me nuts when I watch quarterbacks throw the ball down the field and they short wide receivers they lead them into coverage they make the

Play more difficult on the wide receiver whereas if I’m playing wide receiver for Michael penck he’s putting the odds in my favor okay because the ball is in the proper area for me to go catch it lower odds for the defender higher odds for me it’s always that way I’m telling you

It’s Exquisite now I think a lot of people would just say because of his injury history well well he’s immobile and he can’t really move around he might not be a threat with his legs and that’s one of the categories where he falls short compared to some of the other guys

That I just talked about but think about his ability to manipulate the pocket move in the pocket and then create we saw that against Texas his performance against Texas in the National semi-final is a a case study and how you have to play at the NFL level in the

Playoffs this guy was pressured 16 times didn’t take a sack most of that pressure was from right up the middle against guys by the way that are going to be in the National Football League and selected really high in this draft Byron Murphy uh dandre SWAT like that was a

Really good defensive line and he put his team on his back threw the ball unbelievably well down the field in the middle of that chaos and that pressure did he play well against Michigan no he didn’t play well against Michigan but it’s in there it is in there and that’s

One of the things that you’ve got to understand about college players they’re never going to be great every single game they have highs and lows ups and downs partly because the players around them have wild es and flow in their performance but what you do see is the

Potential for him to be pretty great all the time and and again it might be a lot of fit with him uh where he goes who he gets to throw to who is offensive coordinator is but this guy’s game translates he started 45 games he’s older he’s mature he’s 24 he hasn’t been

Injured in two years and he throws the ball post Snap with great reads and great leverage and that’s exactly what you need in the NFL to be a really good player all right number five number five is going to be JJ McCarthy from Michigan McCarthy’s got this this kind of these

Drake May elements in which like I just feel like his sealing is is incredibly High he’s got elements of all five tools um they flashed at times and the knock against JJ is is going going to be that we didn’t have to see it all the time if

Michael pinnick was asked to throw the ball from the pocket in a post Snap read down the field let’s say 15 to 20 times per game which he was JJ was maybe asked to throw the ball just no play action just straight drop back and a post Snap

Read so let’s let’s let me break this down for you really quick if you’ve got play action then you’re manipulating the defense without just your eyes okay and and generally speaking you’re coming up and it’s it’s one to the primary and then you’re getting to a check down very

Rarely out of play action do you have a big full field read where you got to decide on a on a different those decisions are made before the fake is made to the running back okay then in quick game three-step or or catch and throw from the shotgun those decisions

Are also made pre- snap I am I am throwing the ball based on numbers Ratio or leverage so I’m picking a guy that’s basically going to win and at most I’m going to read like one you know like lion or double Slants you got a lookie

On the inside you got a slant on the outside I’m going to read that outside guy but I know that he’s going to basically get sucked in by the inside lookie I’m throwing the outside slant now if the inside one is wide open does he get it yes because he’s number one

See I’m going through all these schematics to tell you the decisions are generally made but if you’re going to sit in the pocket receive a shotgun snap and really read something down the field in a dropback passing sense that’s something that Michigan didn’t do a lot

They didn’t need to one they had the lead two it was outside of their identity so he only had to do that I would say on average between three and seven times per game so that’s not nearly as many times as Michael pennick had to do that now he will he will be

Required JJ to do that more at the NFL level than he was at Michigan okay so that’s why it’s a bit of a projection although let’s face it the guy played a ton of football he’s 27- one as a starting quarterback back so does his game translate yes of course it

Translate he wasn’t running a college offense he was running Jim Harbaugh’s offense that is a pro style offense he was handling protections he was handling run checks all of those things are going to translate and he did so by the way in an incredibly unselfish manner name the other five-star

Quarterback that wouldn’t care what his stats were and would just do anything for the team handed off all the time Blake corm got all the touchdowns for Michigan you know JJ could have thrown for a lot of touchdowns a lot of touchdowns if they would have just

Gotten down near the end zone done a little play action hit Roman Wilson hit um coulston Loveland all these different gu they had threats they had guys on the outside and yet they didn’t they handed it off why because that was their identity and that was their philosophy

And JJ didn’t care that’s unique and that’s going to be a huge Plus for him in his evaluation and when these evaluators are trying to rank him for the next level just turned 21 years old last month like I said 27- one in college um I thought his his superpower

Was that unselfishness but there are these moments when you watch him on tape that he flashes this this high potential high ceiling that reminds you of the top two quarterbacks in the right fit JJ McCarthy could be one of the quarterbacks from this draft that we

Talk about is like man why didn’t we see that of course he’s having a ton of success he’s also going to have the advantage of not getting taken by a team that is a heavy kned team because of the depth of this quarterback draft he’s not

Going to get selected in the top three picks I don’t think at least okay based on the way that you can evaluate these guys because of those questions I was talking about which means he’s going to fall to some team or organization that is much more sound and has a much better

Roster that’s going to work to his benefit during the course of his career good chance he lands with a team that is not terrible that is not bad and that makes for a better situation for a Young quarterback just ask Bryce young ask a lot of those guys that I mentioned a

Little bit earlier a lot of these guys went to a terrible situation terrible situation Zach Wilson go to the Jets not that Zach Wilson was great but my gosh I mean the Jets were absolute dumpster fire and all you Jets fans know exactly what I’m talking about now I’m only I

Only have five guys listed but I would be remiss if I didn’t talk about the guy that I have ranked Sixth and the reason is because I believe that this guy is going to get selected in the first round and this is not a knock and again this

Is where people are going to be like how in the world did you leave him off he’s only left off because the graphic has five players I have six players in the first round and my sixth guy is B Knicks B Knicks from Oregon is a guy that I

Really love at this position okay now is he as talented as some of these other guys maybe not but if you looked at all those quarterbacks that were selected in the last 10 years he’s better than a lot of those guys a lot of them he’s more of

A point guard and he’s a little bit more cerebral but his superpower is that the ball is On Target and on time when you watch Oregon play that ball left his hand and perfectly in Rhythm that style of player is going to be a great fit for somebody in the NFL

He’s incredibly smart handled a lot of checks on the field that were checks that were not built in um so like sometimes you get a package of plays as a quarterback and and not every quarterback in college gets this but some all right the more advanced guys will get a package of

Plays and that package of plays would include two runs and a pass or two runs and and two passes and then you’re going to get your team into the best look of those four based on what the defense is or what you expect the defense to

Be very rarely at the college level do you get car blanch to just say I don’t like my look now I’m just going to change to something that’s totally different based on the Personnel Group and formation that I’m in not many guys get that he had that ability at Oregon

That tells me that this guy at least from a college perspective is about as smart as they can possibly come which you would expect for a guy that started 61 times but for me Bo Nicks is an easy first round selection easy first round selection I mocked him to Denver early

What was at the 12th pick in the draft he is a perfect fit for Shawn pton when I look at what Drew Brees did and and for those of you that don’t know and it wasn’t a long time but but Shawn pyton signed me out of college as an undrafted

Free agent so I was in the Saints offense for a very brief time right when Drew Brees signed um I I know how I went through installs with Shawn pyton I know how he coaches um B Knicks is perfect for him perfect for him if I’m the Denver BR if I’m the

Broncos I would be ecstatic with a guy like B Knicks Ball’s out on time on target you can have five blockers five free releases even on third down third and short ball no he knows where the ball is supposed to go it’s replacing blitzes it’s going to the open area it’s

Beating leverage all those things are things that he did really well at Oregon he’s mature he’s a solid leader like I said he’s highly experienced and his game translates to the next level I know my list had five but I think six guys get select in the first round because

They should because their talent dictates that they’re all first round caliber quarterbacks and that’s why I think this is as good a draft as you will find since 1983 lway all of those guys at this position at least uh it is fantastic okay um make sure to follow

40 Comments

  1. If Mahomes and Caleb are the two best you’ve seen in category 3, movement and creating without the threat of running, who would be a list of 5 other qbs in history that are up there with them?

  2. Also, after his MVP senior bowl performance where would Spencer Rattler be on this list after your top 5?

  3. Covering college players in college isn't the same as projecting college players to the NFL game. I like Klatt but M Hodge better at projecting players

  4. I believe that Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels will be a bust in the NFL. If you look at their stats against strong teams, they are bad. Both have went deep into games against weak teams to pat those said stats. Sorry just my opinion.

  5. I saw that the Buckeyes Chip Kelly has signed a sophomore QB, Brady something… with a lot of hype but his receivers seem to always out run the defense on all of his highlights. What's your opinion?

  6. I like the 5 categories but I think you are missing the most important one: intangibles. I would argue that’s where Caleb Williams is weakest and what people are most concerned about

  7. Pay attention to his eval words…if Payton thinks McCarthy can be like Williams who he was smitten with last year as an analyst, he is going to be the guy, not Nix.

  8. Every time I listen to Joe, I'm waiting to hear Gus Johnson pop in. 😭 😭. Caleb has always been the best prospect, only thing that's changed is people's perception of him.

  9. Remember when the 49ers moved up to draft Trey Lance.
    Yeah that was a good move.
    As Joel said all of these guys 1,000 attempts and multiple years.

  10. Joel, if you represented the Bears, and the Commanders offered you the two 2024 second founders to trade up one spot, could you do it and take Drake Maye? I know he is not at Caleb’s level, but with two second rounders, and maybe a 1st for 2025?

  11. Why do none of the Caleb lovestruck EVER talk about his massive number of fumbles? When they do not, I call BS. Which is pretty much the case with all of them.

  12. It wasn’t that Caleb was stopped initially on the Kansas play, it was that his RB was stopped, and he took it out of his hands, and turned around and got the 1st, one of the craziest plays I have seen lol. And then he balled out against Texas, he’s been on the radar since day one.

  13. And still no one evaluates field of vision. All these QBs have great arms, but in the NFL you have to see multiple receivers almost simultaneously.

  14. We all know that your a pac 12 big 10 guy but geeze man! Just pass by and wave at Jaden as u go threw your top 5 geeze man, and then to say he is that far away from the top 2? Cone on man (I know u don't care) but im unsubscribing

  15. Diehard James fan and my dad her Michigan fan if the Giants try and trade up because I keep hearing rumors about trading with the patriots they might as well just trade up to the number one spot. Personally but if it’s me I will stay put at six or tray down. If they stay at six if they’re looking for a quarterback I will go with JJ or best player available. I don’t think JJ gets past 12th pick…

  16. The same organization that actually believed Justin Fields could somehow morph into a legitimate NFL quarterback, are now going to draft an almost certain bust by selecting a Heisman winning QB.
    I could argue that every Heisman winning QB aside from Roger Staubach has been an absolute bust in the NFL.
