·49 min·4 clips
Fernando Mendoza met face-to-face with Raiders representatives at the NFL Combine, where clubs have just 15 minutes to assess players.
The episode begins by explaining the NFL Combine's purpose, including measurements, medical checks, and 15-minute player meetings, exemplified by Fernando Mendoza's interaction with the Raiders. It then details a trade between the New York Jets and Tennessee Titans, where tackle Tevondre Sveta was exchanged for edge rusher German Johnson in a player-for-player deal with no draft picks. The host speculates on further connections between the teams due to shared coaching staff. Next, the discussion shifts to Anthony Richardson, who hopes to be traded from the Indianapolis Colts, with potential interest from the Minnesota Vikings and coach Kevin O'Connell. Updates on other players like Chavarius Ward and Tremaine Edmonds are provided. The combine segment highlights performers such as linebacker Sonny Stiles, who impressed with a 43.5-inch vertical jump, and wide receiver prospects. The host then previews free agency using Greg Rosenthal's top 101 list, focusing on quarterbacks Malik Willis and Fernando Mendoza as top options. Other notable free agents mentioned include Tyler Linderbaum, George Pickens, and Jalen Phillips. The episode wraps up with a request for listener feedback on YouTube titles and an announcement for next week's Free Agency Frenzy podcast.
