In this episode of the Play Action Podcast, the host discusses NFL Power Rankings. He provides updates on Aaron Rodgers' minor calf strain, Lamar Jackson's attendance at OTA, and Austin Ekeler staying with the Chargers. He also mentions upcoming special guest episodes and the deadline for submitting questions. The host then goes through his Power Rankings, starting with the Washington Commanders at number 16 and ending with the Jacksonville Jaguars at number 8. He discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each team, including their quarterbacks, offensive lines, and defense. Hello, everyone, and welcome back for another episode of the Play Action Podcast. Sorry I'm recording this one a little late. I've been kind of hectic recently, and I haven't been able to get an episode out. But here we are with part two to our NFL Power Rankings episode. Last time we did numbers 32 through 17 on our countdown, and today we do number 16 all the way through number 1. So just we're going to get through the news, we're going to get through the Power Ranking, and we'll do a quick question at the end. So let's just get straight into it with some news. Not much news. Aaron Rodgers had a minor calf strain at his OTA yesterday, but apparently it's minor. He's probably actually going to be good to practice today, so not much of a concern, just an update. Lamar Jackson did not report for the first OTA, but did report for the second OTA, so it seems everything's good there in Baltimore, as it should be. He's the highest paid player in the NFL right now. And then, of course, we have to cover the Austin Echler news. He's staying with the Chargers. Austin Echler will be the running back with the Chargers, and he'll probably be great this year. The Chargers added $2 million in incentives for this season to his contract, so he's happy now, and he's going to play with the Chargers this year. And that's the only news I got for you today. And a lot of people have been asking me about special guests, and when I'm going to have my next special guest. That will be at the Q&A episode. So the next episode, I will have Robby back and have him with me to discuss these listener questions. Now, that brings me into my next point, which is, you guys have until June 2nd to submit your questions. June 2nd. That's all the time you got left. But seriously, you guys got until June 2nd to get these in, so not this weekend. We'll be doing the thing next weekend, because I feel like that's a great time to do it before I go away. This weekend will probably be just another episode. I haven't really thought about what it's going to be yet, but you'll see when it comes out. But next weekend, so the weekend of that June 3rd, 4th range, is when I will be recording and then editing and releasing the Q&A episode, and then after that I will be gone for a couple weeks, so there will be no podcast for a couple weeks after that. But make sure you have your questions in by June 2nd. June 2nd is the last day you can submit your questions. So people have been asking, how do I submit questions? Well, you can submit them wherever you get your podcasts. You can submit them through Spotify. There's going to be a Q&A area that says, what did you think of the episode? You can just completely ignore the actual question and just submit your listener question there in that box. But what did you think of the episode box, if you're listening on Spotify? If you're listening on Apple Podcasts, feel free to leave it in the review page, okay? So that's where you can leave your Q&A questions. We have received quite a few. So if you want to get your questions in, now would be the time, because it's first come, first serve on these questions. And yep, so I'm very excited to record that episode and get those Q&A questions in. But now let's get into this episode. I'm going to take a quick break real quick, and then we will get into number 16 all the way through number 1. And we're back. And real quick before we start, a question on a recent episode was, what are you doing in the off-season, sports-wise, when there's no football? One of the answers I gave was getting into other sports and basketball. I don't know if anybody's been watching it, but it's getting crazy. I highly recommend you watch it. The Nuggets sweeping LeBron and the Lakers. Heat Celtics was 3-0, looked like it was going to be a sweep, and then the Celtics won game four, so it's not over yet. It's getting crazy in basketball. Highly recommend you watch it. But this is not a basketball show. This is a football show. So let's get into the football. And at number 16, a team, some people that listened to my show and reached out to me, some family and friends, asked, where was this team on my bottom 16? Well, they're in the top 16, just barely, because they're at number 16. The Washington Commanders. I'm very high on the Commanders this year. I really like Sam Howell as a prospect. I mean, I think he's a great prospect. I'm surprised he went in the fifth round of the draft. I actually, in my mock draft for that year, had him going number 32 to the Detroit Lions. So a first-round pick. That's how high on Sam Howell I was. Instead, he falls all the way to the fifth round, and he gets selected by the Commanders. A big steal there. And what people don't realize about Sam Howell is he's so good at running the ball. He's a great dual-threat quarterback, and that benefits him so much, because he can run, he can pass, he can do it all. You saw, in his only career start, his first career start, as a rookie, week 18, he went and demolished the Cowboys, a formidable team that was playing for a first-round bye. So it's not like it was week 18, they didn't have their starters out there, no. The Cowboys were trying their absolute hardest, and Sam Howell went out there and ripped them to shreds. So I'm very high on the Commanders this year, because I think they found their quarterback. There's obviously still some holes on the offensive line, we don't really know what the running game's going to be. There's some holes in the secondary still, linebacker, some question marks. There's just some question marks across the board here for this team. But a couple things that are good to be sure. The wide receivers are great, the defensive line is fantastic, and if Sam Howell's good, that's all you need. Good quarterbacks, good receivers, and a great pass rush. And a good enough secondary. That's all you need to make a big playoff run, and I think the Commanders could do that. Coming in at number 15, we have the New York Football Giants. The Giants were, when I was going game by game and doing my predictions, there were so many games where I was like, oh, the Giants could win this one, but I think it'll be a close game, but a loss. That happened an absurd amount of times, because the Giants, I liked what Daniel Jones did last year with Brian Dayball, he did not deserve the contract, no one thinks that. And I'm not high on Daniel Jones, I do not think he's good. I think he's average. I think he's good enough to get by, but he's not a Super Bowl quarterback. I see a lot of Kirk Cousins there, but he takes less risks. He won't blow up the stat sheet like Kirk Cousins will sometimes. He takes less risks, but he's that kind of quarterback. So Danny Dimes, I think Saquon is a great running back. He propels this offense forward. The interior offensive line is still very mediocre, obviously it's got the tackle duo of Andrew Thomas and Evan Neal. That's a great group right there. But you look at that interior offensive line and there's question marks, and that's where Saquon's going to be running most of the time. And then obviously the defense still has some holes, they were much better last year than everyone expected them to be, but they obviously still do have some holes. So when it just comes down to it, the Giants are not as good of a team as they finished out last year, record-wise. They're not that good. Their weapons did get better. They put some guys around Daniel Jones with trading for Darren Waller and signing Paris Campbell and drafting Jalen Hyatt, plus they'll be getting Sterling Shepard and Wondell Robinson back from injury. They still have Isaiah Hodgins, who was great down the stretch last year. That's just what it comes down to for this team, is how good are these receivers going to be? These new guys either coming back from injury or changing teams, having to come in here and be great for this Giants organization. How good are they going to be? And that's my question with the Giants. I don't think their defense is that good, interior offensive line is not good, but these receivers, if their receivers turn out, they're great, which I don't think they will be, but if they are, this team could be something, and Daniel Jones could be something. But if they're not, Daniel Jones will just continue to be average. And that's my worry with the Giants, and that's why they're at 15. And that kind of leads us into number 14, where I have the same questions, in a different way. And that's the Los Angeles Chargers. The difference between the Giants and the Chargers is I'm much more sure that Justin Herbert is a good quarterback than I am that Daniel Jones is a good quarterback. That's just what it comes down to for me. But the weapons are questionable. Keenan Allen's aging, Mike Williams gets hurt all the time, and Quinton Johnson's a rookie. Austin Eckler, now that he's back, I could move the Chargers up a couple spots, but I kept him here, because the offensive line, Rashawn Slater's coming back from injury, we all know how good he'll be, Corey Linsley, he's aging, and the rest of the O-line's not that good. So there's O-line questions, there's big questions on defense. I didn't know if Kaleil Mack was even going to be back for this team. Leibnacher's still a hole, Corner's still a hole, safeties are interesting at best. So the defense has a lot of holes, the offense has a lot of question marks. And that's kind of similar with the Giants, in that way. The difference between the Chargers and the Giants, as I said, I'm much more sure in Herbert than Daniel Jones. And that leads us to number 13, where there's some more quarterback question marks, but unlike Daniel Jones, I think Kenny Pickett will succeed, and the Pittsburgh Steelers are number 13. Now we know the Steelers have a good defense. We know that. CJ Watt's still on the team, Inka Fitzpatrick's still on the team, Cam Hayward's still on the team. Maybe it's not as good as it was a couple years ago when they were the best in the NFL, but they're still a very good defense. Najee Harris, I'm very high on this year. I think he's a very good running back, and just last year he was hurt, banged up. But then you look at the receivers, there's some question marks there. We don't know if George Pickens will be good. He flashed, but we don't know if he can be a one. Deontay Johnson, more of a possession guy. He didn't really do well as the one last year. And then of course there's the biggest question mark of all, Kenny Pickett, will he be a good quarterback? This offensive line, even though they drafted Broderick Jones, he's still a rookie. This offensive line is still not good. So will Kenny Pickett be a good quarterback? And my answer is yes. I was super high on him in the draft process last year. Now he's going into his sophomore season, has some flashes as a rookie. That touchdown to Najee Harris in that Ravens game, I was watching it, because I'm a Ravens fan. I was watching that game closely, and I watched every single play, and that throw was unbelievable. That pass, Pickett to Najee, unbelievable. And that is really where Kenny Pickett, I think, will be most of the time this year. I think he will develop into a superstar quarterback and will be really good, and that is why I have the Steelers at 13. At number 12 now, we have the Dallas Cowboys. Now when I do my full record predictions, playoff predictions, all that, which is coming up this offseason, you guys are going to be shocked at where I have the Cowboys in record. So they come in at number 12, because I'm very low on the Cowboys. Offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer. He's not good. He likes to run the ball, and in today's NFL, that's not good. He has, out of his 14 NFL seasons as an offensive coordinator, only two of them has he had a top half offense. So that's top 16. Only two of those 14 seasons. That's insane to me. And then, of course, it's just rough. In the running back room, Tony Pollard, he's injured, we don't even know if he'll play week one. No one's talking about that. He's like broke his hip or something crazy like that. How is everyone so sure he's going to play week one? I'm not. And they have nobody behind him. They have 5'6", Deuce Vaughn, and just nobody else. So there's nobody in the running back room besides an injured Pollard. The receivers, sure they got Brandon Cooks, but they also lost Noah Brown and Dalton Schultz, two reliable receivers for them. And they replaced them with Cooks, who's a reliable veteran, but he's aging, we don't know when the wheels will fall off, and a rookie in Shoemaker at tight end, who, a rookie is not going to be as good as a seasoned veteran who is producing well. So I have major questions on offense for the Cowboys. The defense I think will be fine, but offense, I've got some major question marks for the Cowboys. Plus there's the big Dak Prescott question. He did not play well against the Niners. Will he be better this year? We will have to see. At number 11, we have the Seattle Seahawks, one of the most improved teams this offseason. They got another running back in Zach Charbonnet, so they don't have to rely on an injury-prone Ken Walker, who's a very good running back, by the way, don't get me wrong, but Charbonnet offers some depth and the ability to put it in a committee. They got another great receiver in Jackson Smith and Jigba, so now they have a 1-2-3 combo there of three great, not good, great receivers in DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jackson Smith and Jigba. And then, of course, Geno. If Geno's good again this year, this offense is going to be one of the best in the NFL, because they have a great running back room, a great receiver room. Offensive line is improving, especially with Charles Cross developing and all of those young pieces on the line. The offense is going to be great, I think. The defense is where I have some question marks. Jamal Adams is not the same player. Actually they did draft Devon Witherspoon to Paracross Elite Corner. Tariq Woolen just came out of nowhere as a fifth-round pick last year and was great as a rookie, was the runner-up for Defensive Rookie of the Year behind Sauce Gardner, who's already a top-three corner in the NFL, I nearly just said the MLB, that would have been funny. But I have concerns on the defensive line. I have concerns on the interior offensive line. That's really it. The Seahawks are a great team. We're at the point where all these teams are really good and really young. So other than just some defensive line and pass rush concerns, as well as some concerns on the offensive line, Seattle's in a great spot right now. And I like how they picked best player available in the draft, didn't go with their edge rusher, their defensive lineman that they didn't like just because it's a need. So Seattle comes in at number 11. Number 10, the Detroit Lions. And the Lions' hotness right now is real. Everyone's in love with the Lions. Everyone wants to play for Dan Campbell. Everybody thinks the Lions are going to the Super Bowl. Robbie said that to me at least five times in the past couple days. So it's Lion fever right now, but I've got to bring you back down to earth. I do have you in the top ten of my power rankings, but it's at number 10. Don't get ahead of yourself. You're not better than some of the other teams on this list. I saw a power ranking where they were number four by a guy that's not a Lions fan, where the Lions were number four. Jared Goff, as much as he's progressed and played well for Detroit, he's probably not a Super Bowl winning quarterback. He's not. So don't kid yourself by saying he is. Because the running game with Jameer Gibbs, exciting. The weapons, electric. The offensive line, been elite for a while. This offense could be great. This defense is progressing. It went from terrible to really good in trading away one of your stronger corners because you don't need him. That's how good this Lions team has been getting. Their draft picks in the first round, questionable at best. But beyond that, they drafted incredible in Rounds 2 through 7. And then, I mean, the first round, you question their picks because that's not how high you had those two players going in Jameer Gibbs and Jack Campbell, but you can't blame the guys for going and getting who they wanted. You saw how happy Brad Holmes and Dan Campbell and that whole Lions draft room were when they drafted those two guys, especially Gibbs. So they went up and got the guys that they wanted. And they still were able to trade back with that first pick to acquire more capital. So I think that's honestly what it's all about. I'm not as mad about those first round picks as a lot of people were. So number 10 is just more realistic for me. At number 9, the Miami Dolphins. People forget how good the Miami Dolphins are. People forget how good Tua is when he's on the field. If Tua's good, the running back room is questionable, but they don't need to have some elite runner back there. They have three good runners that can all complement off each other in a full committee. Fantasy owners, watch out. But for an NFL team to be good, that's a great strategy. Mostert gets a third of the carries. Wilson gets a third of the carries. A-Chain gets a third of the carries. But fantasy-wise, stay away from the Dolphins' backfield, especially this year. For NFL purposes, though, that's a great strategy. The receivers, we already know they're good. Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddell, maybe the best receiver combo in the league. The only ones that rival them are that Bengals combo and that Eagles combo, with Chase and Higgins and then Brown and Smith. But there's still some question marks, especially on that offensive line. Tua took some hits last year, as we know, got some concussions. And a lot of that you can put on the line, because the line did not protect Tua last year. This is going into this offseason, after this upcoming season, so next offseason. The number one thing they got to address has got to be their offensive line. They didn't address it this offseason. Obviously, Teron Arnstead's great at left tackle. Beyond that, who's on the offensive line? Nobody. It's really that good. So defense has gotten way better. Bradley Trubb at the trade deadline, trading for Jalen Ramsey for literally nothing. All kinds of great moves on defense. I'm no longer worried about that. Zavian Howard's still a lead. All that. Jalen Phillips is developing into a superstar pass rusher. Defense looks good. Offense looks good. It's just offensive line concerns for Miami. Otherwise, they're an elite team. Jacksonville Jaguars come in at number eight. And the Jags are a tricky team. Because I honestly thought they were going to win that Chiefs game. I really did. And when it came down to it, I was like, Trevor Lawrence is going to go do this. And then Jamal Agnew fumbled the game away for him. But the Jags are in a great position. You saw on the sideline, I'm sorry if I'm wrong, but I believe it was either Christian Kirk or Evan Engram were over on the sideline, I think it was Kirk, or I was over on the sideline with Trevor at the end of that game. And they realized they were going to lose that positional round game. Christian Kirk put his arm around Trevor Lawrence and said, Trevor, we're going to be just fine. And that's how I feel about the Jags. They're going to be just fine. They're a young team developing. Lawrence will probably be even better this year. ETN will probably be even better this year. They have an insurance back at Bigsby now. Their receiving core has gotten better with Calvin Ridley coming back. Engram's still good. Their line has gotten better because they selected Antoine Harrison first. Everything's getting better on that offense. Defense, Trayvon Walker should have developed more. Josh Allen's still elite. Their pass rush is great. Their secondary is getting better. Everything is looking up in Jacksonville, and I'm excited. I'm excited about this Jags team. I think they can take it far, and you will see that in my record prediction. And at number seven, we have the New York Jets. This is a team that had a quarterback problem last year. Zach Wilson and Mike White, neither of them were it. Neither of them were good for them. But now they're sitting here with Aaron Rodgers on their team. And now that's all they needed. They have a good line. I mean, last year their line was OK, but they've even addressed that this offseason. And they've had good weapons for a while, that they've signed a bunch of veterans for some reason to make Rodgers happy. But that's just how it goes when you have a quarterback of that caliber. And then their defense obviously was best in the NFL last year. And it's going to keep getting better because it's so young. So you look at this team, and I see greatness. I see greatness. I think Rodgers could be the guy to do it. I think he could be the guy to bring a Super Bowl back to New York for the first time since Joe Nance. But Rodgers wasn't great last year, and that's my issue. He's only a year removed from being back-to-back MVP. But last year there were some hiccups. Now that could be because he had no weapons and no line, and nothing was going well in Green Bay. But this year he goes to a much better situation. And that's what I'm getting at here with the Jets. This is a much better situation for Aaron Rodgers. And I think he could still excel. I think he could go get another ring. I think he has a little more left in the tank. People are saying, oh, Brett Favre went to New York, and he was OK. Well, Brett Favre, the team around Brett Favre in New York when he went there, was nowhere near as good as the team is around Aaron Rodgers right now. And honestly, yeah, I might do that soon. Top 10 quarterbacks of all time, that'd be a great podcast episode. Maybe I'll do that for this next week's episode. Maybe. That'd be fun. But Rodgers is higher than Favre on that list, for sure, for me. Rodgers is a better player, in my opinion. That's what it comes down to. At number six, my Baltimore Ravens. I have on this podcast made it very clear where my biases lie. But when I made this, I tried to keep my biases out. Otherwise, I would have not caused me so much pain by putting the Benvils ahead of the Ravens. But right now, there's still some lying concerns in Baltimore. Obviously, the Mar is great. Running back room is good. Receivers are now great. The defense has kind of always been great. The concerns are, obviously, corner. Corner's still a concern. It's kind of Marlon Humphrey or bust right there. But I think we'll bring back Peters on a one-year deal. And he'll be good enough to be OK in the corner room. And then, offensive line, it's good enough. Zeitler is really good. Stanley, if he's healthy, is really good. Linderbaum's really good. Left guard is an issue. And then, right tackle is an issue. But you can't just be perfect at every position. But right now, they still have holes at left guard, right tackle, and corner. They still have holes there. So you can't fill every hole, obviously. There's always going to be a leak in the ship, no matter what team you are. Number one on this list has a leak in the ship. So that's what it comes down to for me. Those are the holes, but the Ravens are going to be a pretty darn good team this year. I'm telling you that. Number five, Cincinnati Bengals. Obviously, Joe Burrow's great. Nixon, if he's back with the team, is going to be a really good run back. Receivers are obviously great. We know that. The line has gotten way better with the addition of Orlando Brown. It's gotten so much better, honestly, over the past two off-seasons. Went from maybe the worst in the NFL to maybe the best in the NFL really quickly. And then defense, obviously, Lou Anna Rumo's group, it probably wasn't talent. Plus, they lost Jesse Bates this off-season, maybe their best defensive player. Maybe it was just coaching. Maybe it was just luck. But something went right for that Bengals' defense last year, especially in the playoffs. So I don't see everything going right for the Bengals' defense like it did last year, this year, especially since they lost Jesse Bates, as I said. But I do see a lot going right for this Bengals' defense. And it's going to be good enough to get by, and that is why they are at number five. Obviously, these teams up high, there's not as many flaws with them. So it's just they're all really good, so I don't have to talk about them as much, because I don't have to talk about their flaws. The Buffalo Bills at number four. Josh Allen, obviously, really good. There's no quarterback hole there. Running backs, who needs them? Buffalo doesn't need them. If they want to run, Josh Allen will just run. Wide receivers, obviously good. They got Stephon Diggs. They got Gabe Davis. They've got Shakir. And then they drafted Dalton Kincaid, who's going to serve more as a slot receiver than a tight end for them. Boston Knox will be the true tight end. Kincaid will be more of a slot receiver. So their receiving core is good. Their offensive line is not elite, but it's good. Their defense is good. So the pieces are all there for Buffalo to make a championship run. There's just some teams where they're good pieces. The positions where Buffalo, their players are good. The players are great on the three teams above them here. So that's why Buffalo comes down to number four, because they don't really have a hole anywhere, except maybe a couple places on the offensive line. But they don't necessarily have a hole anywhere. And then running back. But as I said, they want to run. Josh Allen just runs. They don't need a running back. But what they do good, the three teams above them do great, and that's the issue. Number three, San Francisco 49ers have probably the best all-around roster in the NFL, outside of quarterback. If quarterback didn't exist, they would be number one. Elite defense may be the best in the NFL. It's them or the Jets. Don't even need to talk about that defense. O-line is very good. Not elite, but very good. Christian McCaffrey's obviously great. The receivers are obviously great, with Debo, and Iyuk, and Kittle, and McCaffrey in the backfield. Everything is great on this team. It's just the quarterback question. Will it be Purdy? Will it be Lance? Will it maybe even be Darnold, which would be a big mistake? But I think it'll be Purdy, and I think Purdy will be great, but we don't know that for sure. So that's why they come in at number three. I can't, in my right mind, put them ahead of these next two teams who happened to play in the Super Bowl against each other last year. Number two is not the reigning champs, though. Number one, I mean, is not the reigning champs. The team that won the Super Bowl, by the time it gets to May, has fallen a spot in the power rankings. Number two is the Kansas City Chiefs. They're not at number one, they're at number two. And here's why. Patrick Mahomes is the best player in the NFL right now. That's pretty obvious. Travis Kelsey, first ballot hall of favor. Maybe the best tight end of all time. Great. You don't need any other receivers when you have Travis Kelsey. But then you think about it for a second. This offensive line is elite. Then you think about the rest of the team. The running backs, Pacheco, he's good, he's not great. The receivers are lackluster. The defense has a lot of holes. So you think about this team, it's a lot better than it was a couple years ago, but it's still got some holes. So you think about this team, they're so high on this list because they have Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelsey and a great offensive line. That's why they're so high on this list, because Patrick Mahomes has six seconds to sit there on the pocket and then can still give himself another 20 by just scrambling around in the backfield making magical plays and then throwing a sidearm crossbody pass 50 yards down the field. That's why they're so high on this list. That's why they won the Super Bowl, not because they have a great defense or a great running game or great receivers outside of Kelsey. It's because all Mahomes has to do is stand there in the pocket for five seconds, then run around for about 10 seconds, then throw it 30 yards downfield to Kelsey. That's all you've got to do. Because Patrick Mahomes is that good, and Travis Kelsey is that good, and the offensive line is that good. That's all you need for the Chiefs. But if you look at their total roster, they're not there. They'd be way lower on this list if we were judging off total roster. They're not good in their total roster. I mean, they're good, but they're not great like where they number two should be. But they're a great team. They've won two Super Bowls now over the past couple years and appeared in two others, actually. No, I'm just not smart. One other. Yeah, they beat the Niners, lost to the Bucs, and then beat the Eagles. Yeah, so they've appeared in three Super Bowls over the last four years because they have Patrick Mahomes and Kelsey in a good O-line. That's why. It's not because they have a great all-around roster. And then at number one, don't even need to talk about them much, the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles are great. We don't need to talk about this. End of show. I'm just kidding. The Eagles have no holes now. Obviously, you can nitpick a little bit. Hertz is great. The only place I can nitpick is Rashad Penny and DeAndre Swift are leading the backfield, two very injured running backs, two we-don't-know-if-they're-great running backs. That's a bit of a hole for them. But if those guys are good, then there's no holes in this team. Receivers are great. Tight end's great. O-line's probably best in the league. Defensive line is great. They've added to that. Linebackers are great. They've added to that. Corners are great. They've added to that. Safeties are great. So there's nowhere else in this team that has a hole except maybe running back. And that's if Penny and Swift can't stay healthy. If they can stay healthy, there's no hole on this team. And this team's winning the Super Bowl. But there also could be Jalen Hurts. He's a little streaky. Sometimes he goes a little cold. But I'm not worried about that. He probably should have won MVP if he hadn't gotten hurt. Hurts hadn't gotten hurt. That was a funny joke to me, in my mind. But that is why the Eagles come in at number one on my power ranking. We're going to take a quick break, and we will get back with a question, and then wrap this thing up. And we're back here. And today we have a very special listener question. It comes in from our very own guest host, Robbie. And he wants to know what player that has changed teams I'm most excited for. And this is an interesting question. But for me, it's an answer of a guy we've been talking about this whole podcast, and it's Aaron Rodgers. Of course I'm most excited for Aaron Rodgers changing teams. I mean, they improved the Jets from mediocrity to Super Bowl contender like that. I mean, he's a three-time MVP, Super Bowl champion, first ballot Hall of Fame quarterback in the most important position in any sport. I'm most excited for Aaron Rodgers switching teams from the Green Bay Packers to the New York Jets. So I hope that answers your question, Robbie. And that's going to do it for today's episode. We just surpassed 33 minutes. So remember, you've got until June 2nd to submit those questions. You need to get them in as soon as possible. And that'll be it for me today. Hope you guys enjoyed the episode, and have a great rest of your week. See you next time.
