S4E6: Week 4 w/ Joshua Palmer

·32 min·2 clips

T Martin told Palmer there was “no reason” he couldn’t get drafted after his junior year at Tennessee.

Brad Gelber opens the conversation with Ray Davis. They kick things off with Buffalo's 4-0 record, then settle into a longer sit-down with Joshua Palmer that takes its time with his path to the Bills instead of skimming over it. The vibe stays easy. Palmer is framed as a newer face in Buffalo, and that gives the show room to look at how he's settling in and why the hosts want more of his story. The questions stay measured. Brad gives Palmer space to walk through his path, starting with the high-school moment when he realized he had to get better and the coach who told him there was no reason he could not get drafted after that season. That belief changed things. Palmer says he started training harder, leaned into the work, and tried to make the most of his junior year at Tennessee even though the season itself was not especially smooth. Quarterback turnover kept showing up. He explains that the changes at quarterback made it hard to put up the kind of year he wanted, and that the same issue carried into his senior season during COVID. He was still moving forward. Rather than wait around, Palmer says he knew he was leaving for the draft no matter what, so he focused on making the best of the limited 10-game season. The Senior Bowl mattered. Because there was no combine that year, he says every scout came to Mobile, and his strong week there became a huge part of his case to the league. He felt ready. Palmer describes the Senior Bowl as a moment where the second thought was not about proving he belonged but about recognizing that he was already there with the top seniors. The conversation keeps its easy Buffalo rhythm. The hosts circle back to the 4-0 start, the state of the team, and the value of letting a guest speak at length without forcing a hot take. It ends on a friendly note. Palmer thanks the hosts, Ray jokes about returning again, and Brad closes by teasing the next guest while keeping the focus on the season.
