Undrafted Rookie

This is our Week 15 preview show. Well, most of it. The only time we had to record this week was Monday afternoon so there is no discussion of either of the Monday night games because they hadn't happened yet. Though they have happened now. Call it the magic of show business (please call it that.) Another chaotic week in the NFL with huge wins for both the Buffalo Bills and the Philadelphia Eagles...

Highlights from week 14 of the NFL season - headlined by a history making performance by Josh Allen. This week we talk about a late window that saw the NFC West turned upside down, with Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua combining to overturn the much-fancied Buffalo Bills. We also talk about the Detroit Lions' gritty win over the Green Bay Packers and ponder whether or not the bad vibes surrounding...

A big day in Undrafted-Rookie-land as John uses a soundboard for the first time. It doesn't really feature much but it felt like a big deal at the time. Perhaps the start of a new era. Football-wise we were once again treated to a delightful week of NFL action where the Kansas City Chiefs survive yet again (annoying we know), the Philadelphia Eagles continue to impress, and the San Francisco 49ers...

This is the week 12 edition of Undrafted Rookie, all about the 12th week of the NFL season. We're talking about a snow storm in Cleveland, a history-making performance from Saquon Barkley, and Baker Mayfield's "tribute" to Tommy DeVito. Lots of fun and some facts. What more could you want?

Week 11 of the NFL season is here already and we are also here like it or not. We're talking about how the Chargers finally stop doing Chargers-type things this week by beating the Bengals, the Kansas City Chiefs finally lose for the first time this season, and look forward to the big Harbaugh-bowl coming up on Monday Night Football.

NFL Season 2024. Week 10. Another top quality week of football and high drama to discuss. Field Goal drama? Check. Two point conversion drama? You bet. Officiating drama? Of course. Somehow the Kansas City Chiefs remain undefeated, somehow Ja'Marr Chase puts in an all-time performance and still loses, and somehow Jake Moody can still be a hero after missing three field goals. All this and more on...

Week 9 of the NFL season is here and it's lovely. The New York Jets seem to be back from the dead on halloween, the Titans managed to get themselves out of poll position for the number 1 overall pick, and the Kansas City Chiefs are inevitable. Also this week was the week of the extraordinary play: Drake Maye's 15 second TD pass, Garrett Wilson's insane one-handed touchdown catch, and Saquon Barkle...

Our recording cuts out halfway through this week, not sure why. So we have complete chats about the Thursday Night Football game which saw the Vikings fall to the LA Rams, and DeAndre Hopkins trade to Kansas City, but there is no recorded evidence of anything involving Jayden Daniels' famous Hail Mary, Lions' demolition of the Titans, the Ravens loss to the Browns, San Francisco beating their olde...

A shorter episode this week because our MVP contributor is unavailable, so you're stuck with me (John). Still, a great week of NFL action with plenty to discuss (is it still a discussion if it's just one person spouting gibberish into a microphone?). Jared Goff played an almost-perfect game to send his impressive Detroit Lions top of the NFC North (the best division in the league), New Orleans Sai...

Big news week in the NFL this week with both Davante Adams and Amari Cooper being traded to the AFC East. We also saw another impressive slate of games, including the Detroit Lions really finding their groove against the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers getting a good road win against Seattle. But most importantly John goes on a pilgrimage to London to see watch the Chicago Bears put on...

Week 5 of the 2024 NFL season is here and so are we. We also have the first head coach dismissal, Robert Saleh has been politely relieved of his duties at the New York Jets to seek pastures new (he was sacked). We talk about all that as well as some (though not all) of the week 5 games which included an incredible overtime win for the Baltimore Ravens over the Cincinnati Bengals and the first win...

The boys (John and Paul) are back are are talking about Week 4 of the 2024 NFL season. A fun week with huge performances from Jayden Daniels, Jared Goff and Derrick Henry. We saw Sam Darnold lead the Minnesota Vikings to a 4-0 start, and Joe Flacco come in to give Pittsburgh their first loss of the season.

This episode comes from the Undrafted Rookie vault. Recorded before the start of the 2024 season, we talk through our own personal NFL Fantasy drafts for 2024. Released at a date unknown to us, this episode will reveal the genius and stupidity of our fantasy brains - mostly the latter of course.

Review show for week 2 of the NFL season. Recorded on John's lunch break, yet we still manage to over-run significantly (whoops). The week of the underdog this week with surprise wins from Minnesota Vikings, New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons and (genuinely) many more. All this is discussed as well as the benching of Bryce Young, Tua's injury concerns, Kyler Murray's MVP-level performance, and ot...

Football is officially back! And to celebrate we have a feature-length episode detailing almost every single thing that happened. Just what the doctor ordered. We're talking Isiah Likely and the touchdown that never was, Jordan Mason running the Jets into the ground, and Caleb Williams' debut to forget. Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com...

Football is (almost) back!! With the first week of the 2024 NFL season just around the corner, we're previewing the biggest matches of Week 1. Is the Eagles against the Packers actually the best matchup of Week 1? Can the Baltimore Ravens finally beat the Chiefs? Who really one the Stafford/Goff trade of a few years ago? Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Ac...

Paul is back this week and we're talking all kinds of fun stuff relating to the 2024 NFL season. We've got predictions for end of season awards, the number one overall pick, the top teams in each conference and of course Super Bowl LIX. So listen to understand why Sam Darnold is going to out-perform Jordan Love, why an offensive guard is going to win Offensive Player of the Year, and why the New E...

Only half an episode this week since Paul is off sick so it's just me (John) talking to himself (and you!). This one is just about the takeaways from the NFL preseason so far. Should Spencer Rattler be the Saints backup in 2024? Are the Vikings better with or without JJ McCarthy? Does the preseason count for anything? Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast...

A slight departure from usual NFL schtick, as attention temporarily turns to the upcoming college football season. We are focussing specifically on Georgia Bulldogs, Florida Gators, Oregon Ducks and Tulane Green Wave. However, some cross-wires mean that while John was essentially providing a 2024 season preview, Paul instead provides a potted history of the franchises. Decide for yourself which is...

The final division of our NFL round-up is the beloved NFC West. We're talking about what a Seattle Seahawks team might look like without Pete Carroll, what the emergence of Puka Nacua means for Cooper Kupp for the Los Angeles Rams, and way too much detail on the back-up and 3rd and 4th choice running backs for John's much-loved 49ers. Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.co...

Is the NFC South the worst division in the NFL? Spoiler-alert: yes it is. That's right, this week is all about everyone's least favourite division, the NFC South. We'll be asking the questions on everyone's lips: Is there any hope for Bryce Young? Is there any hope for the Atlanta defense? Is there any hope for Dennis Allen? It is the season of hope after all... Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: und...

What's going to be the most exciting division in the NFL in 2024? Is it going to be the NFC North? Could well be. How will Justin Jefferson fare with JJ McCarthy (or Sam Darnold)? Is the cornerback room in Detroit fixed just like that? Will number one overall pick Caleb Williams thrive in a Chicago Bears team that looks increasingly ready to win? No idea mate, good questions though. Twitter: @Undr...

Will it be the NFC Least or NFC Beast in 2024? Neither, it's the NFC East, as always. How will the Philadelphia Eagles cope with the loss of Jason Kelce? Can Ceedee Lamb and Dak Prescott finally carry the Dallas Cowboys to the NFC championship? Is there any hope for Daniel Jones and the New York Giants? We'll find out in due course, but for now it's time to speculate . Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Ema...

This week attention turns to the AFC West (and the back-to-back Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs) We'll talk about Jim Harbaugh in Los Angeles, Aidan O'Connell or Gardner Minshew in Las Vegas, and Taylor's boyfriend in Kansas City. Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The AFC South comes under our microscope this week. We're looking ahead to the 2024 NFL season and asking who will win the AFC South? Can Trevor Lawrence finally take that extra step? Can the Houston Texans reproduce the magic of 2022? Will Will Levis stop putting mayonnaise in his coffee? (Please stop Will.)
