Nate Tice and Charles McDonald join forces to give us their top candidates to watch for the 2024 NFL season. The duo kicks things off with their takeaways from Week 2 of preseason action, as they discuss the debacle of Michael Penix Jr., Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, Brian Thomas Jr., and other impressive rookies.
Nate and Charles move on to up-and-coming candidates to watch, starting with the biggest, most obvious names like Drake London, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Tre McBride, Derek Stingley Jr. and more, before moving on to the less obvious candidates, “hipsters” and unsung heroes like Keanu Benton, Alim McNeil, Roy Lopez, Joey Porter Jr., Tyrique Stephenson, Charles Cross, Bernhard Raimann and more.
Nate wraps up the show by looking at his 2025 preseason draft board for the 2025 NFL Draft, which is set to be released later this week. Nate goes over his top ten and Charles discusses some of the more interesting picks.
