The Athletic Football Show: A show about the NFL Archiv

Don't take it from the person who writes these descriptions, take it from The Athletic's NFL Draft expert Dane Brugler himself...this is as deep a tight end class as we've seen in the time that Dane's been writing The Beast. He and Nate Tice join Robert Mays to dive into the top-six players in the class on this episode of The Athletic Football Show. Then, Jack Doyle discusses with Robert why tight ends typically take longer than players at other positions to find their footing in the NFL.
