He anchored the Jets offensive line during his 10-year career, started every game, and missed only one snap (there’s quite the story behind that play).

In today's episode, I am joined by Adam Rank. We kick off the show with a burning question: Is Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs' superstar quarterback, truly underpaid? Despite his immense talent and staggering achievements, Mahomes claims he's more focused on winning championships than his paycheck. But is he being undervalued in comparison to other quarterbacks in the league? Speaking of the Chiefs, will they be able to "run it back" and secure another Super Bowl victory? We explore the team's prospects and discuss the crucial role of Mahomes' second-choice target. With the formidable Travis Kelce commanding attention, who will step up to become Mahomes' go-to receiver? We examine the potential options and forecast the impact on the Chiefs' offensive prowess.

We examine the validity of these rumors and discuss the implications of adding a wide receiver of Hopkins' caliber to an already explosive offense.

What can we expect from Jackson as he regains his form?  Next up we dive into the development of Jalen Hurts. Adam Rank examines Hurts' performance and explore ways in which he can further improve. From refining his mechanics to making better decisions on the field, we provide valuable insights on how Hurts can take his game to the next level. Finally, we address the bold claim made by DJ Moore, who believes that Justin Fields has the potential to become one of the all-time great quarterbacks.

Is Sam Howell the answer to the team's quarterback needs, and the pressure he faces as the potential starter?

Jersey sales in the NFL take center stage as we explore who claims the top spot in popularity. Which rookie has managed to crack the top 10, sparking conversations about emerging talents in the league?  The latest rule changes from the league meeting in Minneapolis become a topic of interest.
