@CoryRAanalytics @DeionSanders @ChampYates @leedsbiz 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Please help me congratulate my son Ivan Yates (@ChampYates) on graduating with his MBA from Leeds School of Business.

Sports mimic life. It’s never over until it’s over. I have watched this 100x and will 100x more. Need more of THIS !!! 🫡🫡🫡👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@LastKing_89 I agree on Allar over Howard. But Drew is wildly inconsistent and needs to get with a throwing coach that can help him has repeatable mechanics that can this help him with his accuracy. He misses way too much easy stuff.

@LRiddickESPN I like him over Howard but who knows. I value your input man you know your ball!

Yo…how the in the hell is this year 10 for Ferrari Mahomes already ?!?!. Damn time flies 😳

@LastKing_89 He has A LOT to prove

@LRiddickESPN What are your thoughts on Allar?

@NFLMAVERICK Indeed

S Treydan Stukes

What is going on with the throwing out the first pitch fiascos? For real…has to be a nerves thing….some of these misses are WILD !

It’s the development, implementation, utilization phase of team building that most determines success/failure FYI, which ultimately is what the #NFL is about. Beating your chest about where you had a guy ranked and where he went really is pointless in the grand scheme of things. Move on to how you think that player should be utilized, is being utilized, relative to how he was developed and utilized at the collegiate level, if you really want to advance the conversation beyond all of this consensus board nonsense.

.@LRiddickESPN “All seven of their draft picks are going to make their football team, all seven of them (minus Garrett Nussmeier) are probably going to play” FIRE ME UP!

@AndrewBrandt I listened to Andy talk about this all of the time in Philly during training camp personnel meetings. I guess it is a #Packers thing.

Sounds familiar @LRiddickESPN

Cherry or Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Frosted Pop-Tarts !!!! 🥹

Me. Currently. 😭

@FatFaceMafia 🫡

The fact that @LRiddickESPN STILL isn’t running someone’s franchise is baffling to me. Easily, and consistently one of the truest, realist, and rightest minds in football. Dude is dynasty waiting to happen. I’m rooting for whatever franchise hires you.

🎯

@falconsfever8 @GetUpESPN It’s not the exact same move. Take your fan goggles off.

@LRiddickESPN @GetUpESPN Hindsight being 20/20 of course, also we’ll see on Penix, if he doesn’t work out this year so be it. But it was at this exact moment, right after the draft, everyone saying it’s a bad move, yet here you and others are defending almost the exact same move by the rams lmao

"The best time to get your franchise quarterback is when you don't need him." @LRiddickESPN speaks on the Rams drafting Ty Simpson to succeed Matthew Stafford.

Honored and looking forward to this…

@AlwaysHussle91 @hook10_kyle Yes

@LRiddickESPN @hook10_kyle Even if you weren’t that high on MP do you think Simpson is a better prospect?

@LRiddickESPN honest question, did you feel the same way when the falcons took Penix?
