Is it a Christmas special or is it a cop out? Maybe both A pre-recorded episode featuring predictions for the Week 16 match-ups as well as an incredibly loosely-festive football quiz that was definitely a total success and not at all a disaster.

Baker Mayfield becomes the first opposing quarterback in record a perfect passer rating at Lambeau Field as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Green Bay Packers. Elsewhere, the 49ers win the NFC West by beating Arizona and both Dallas and Philadelphia slip up to keep the NFC East wide open. Paul does his famous five word reviews, before we go on to discuss NFL games we've barely watched and offer o...

Contrasting fortunes on Monday Night Football on Week 14 of the NFL season as the Miami Dolphins lose a shocker against the Tennessee Titans while simultaneously Tommy DeVito leads the New York Giants to a comeback victory against the Green Bay Packers. We also talk about how the 49ers became the first team to clinch a play-off spot, whether Buffalo can still make a run, and why Bradley Chubb taki...

Biggest week in podcast history as our beloved 49ers and Eagles face-off in a huge game in Philadelphia. Paul seems unimpressed by John's insistence on praising almost every single 49ers player, but I guess to the victor the spoils. We also talk about the Cincinnati Bengals' impressive win on Monday Night Football spearheaded by an incredible performance from back-up quarterback Jake Browning. The...

This week was Thanksgiving week in the NFL (and in America generally) which saw 3 games on thanksgiving itself as well as the first ever Black Friday game. We also had a game of the season contender take place when Buffalo travelled to Philadelphia. Paul's 5-word review feature gets going properly this week and we dedicate the majority of the podcast to talking about games he hasn't actually seen....

Philadelphia Eagles are the best team in the NFL! Are they really? Yeah I reckon so. A nice week for the Eagles and the 49ers means an upbeat episode of Undrafted Rookie. Less good luck for Joe Burrow and Mark Andrews who both sustain season ending injuries on Thursday Night Football. And of course it wouldn't be the NFL with some strange strange plays, including a receiving touchdown for Titans'...

Another remarkable week in the NFL with no less than 6 (!) games being decided by walk-off field goals. We talk about Cleveland's remarkable comeback, the 49ers beatdown of the Jags, and CJ Stroud's MVP credentials. Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Plenty to discuss this week as Texans' rookie CJ Stroud breaks records, Minnesota win with a quarterback who didn't know the names of his teammates, and the Eagles edge past the Cowboys to take control in the NFC East. We also learn that Paul's memory of plays is pretty awful, and briefly discuss the Rams' acquisition Carson Wentz. Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com H...

Bumper show this week with a full slate of NFL games in Week 8 as well as the TRADE DEADLINE! Paul learns about the departure of Young and Sweaty from the Washington defensive line before the trade deadline. We also talk about the scrappy Jets win against their New York (Jersey) rivals, the Broncos stunning the Chiefs and the Falcons being demolished by a man who puts mayonnaise in his coffee. Twi...

Week 7 of the NFL season is now in the books featuring big wins by the Eagles, Ravens and Chiefs. Where did the Lions go this week and can they bounce back? Are Buffalo actually the Super Bowl contender we all presumed they would be? Do Tight Ends actually play better on National Tight End Day? These questions and more are barely considered in this episode. Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undrafte...

Plenty to discuss this week following a successful trip to the hot totty for the Ravens Titans game, and losses from both the 49ers and Eagles. With no undefeated teams remaining, who are the best team in the NFL? (and why is it still the 49ers?) Can anyone stop the Miami offense? Whisper it but, are the Lions slowly becoming favourites in the NFC? Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepo...

We're back form our holidays! Sadly, while we were away we didn't have much time to watch football so this episode contains even more guess work than usual. We assess our surprise at each of the Week 5 results, including statement wins by the 49ers and Jags. Are Dallas actually good? Can the Patriots save their season? How will the Vikings fare without Justin Jefferson? Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Em...

We're on holiday this week so could not record the usual episode. Instead, a couple of weeks ago, we recorded a fantasy update with our buddy Jake. We review some of our draft match-ups and discuss some of our draft regrets. Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

A look at the wild ride that was week 3 of the 2023 NFL season. From Dolphins' record-breaking win over the Broncos to the Cardinals defeating the much-favoured Cowboys. Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A look back over the second week of the NFL season. A week where San Fran survive So-Fi scare, Steelers' defense defeat Deshaun and Buffalo bounce back by beating Vegas. Are the Bengals going from first to worst in the AFC North? Is Puka Nacua a true WR1 already? Are Tampa Bay... good? (The audio quality on this one isn't ideal - sorry. Genuinely because I forgot to plug the mic in. Real rookie st...

With the first week of the NFL season in the books, we discuss week 1 and review our picks from last week. Where do the Jets stand without their Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers? Is there any hope for the Giants after their drubbing at the hands of the Cowboys? Can anyone stop Tyreek and Tua? Also we're trialling some new features like MVP of the week, Highlight of the week, and a few more t...

The final episode before football is back baby! This episode includes all our season predictions, from MVP to the Super Bowl. Why is John so high on the Chargers? Does Paul actually think Kirk Cousins will win MVP? Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Following our first every fantasy football draft, we review our picks and reveal some questionable selections in the process. If you know anything about fantasy football you will probably find this episode incredibly frustrating. When should you draft your second QB? How many RBs do you need? Is Bijan Robinson going to be this years RB1? We ask and (ignorantly) answer these questions and more. Twi...

Paul learns about the offseason schedule and reveals he's learnt very little from this process so far. What happens between the confetti falling at the end of the Super Bowl and Week 1 of the new season? Well, quite a lot - not all of it interesting - from free agency frenzy to the draft to training camp and the preseason. Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com Hosted on...

Ever wondered what other sportsmen would make good NFL players? Well, so have we. In fact, we've recorded it and released it for your listening pleasure. Paul and I construct a 25-player NFL roster of non-NFL sportspeople and celebrities. It's harder than you would have thought tbh. Listen to us debate whether rugby players, boxers, or even tennis players would make good football players. Obviousl...

The final episode of our NFL round-up! And the honour of being the subject of this episode goes to the AFC South. Fair to say we've not exactly saved the best 'til last. But who knows; the only way is up for the Texans, Jags will be lead by an ever-improving Trevor Lawrence, Colts now have one of the most exciting draft prospects at QB, and the Titans just signed DeAndre Hopkins - might be an inte...

The AFC North, perhaps the most competitive division in football for 2023, is the subject of our penultimate episode of our NFL round-up. With the Bengals looking to restate their claim as kings of the North, the Steelers hoping to extend Mike Tomlin's run of winning seasons, the Ravens trying to reunite Lamar Jackson with his MVP form, and the Browns hoping to distract everyone from that awful th...

Our round-up of the NFL divisions continues with a look at the AFC West. All four teams in the AFC West have won exactly 15 division titles. This year that will change and one team will come out on top, but who will it be? Probably the Chiefs again to be honest... Could the Broncos become *entertaining*? Will Garoppolo thrive when reunited with Josh McDaniels? Could this finally be the Chargers' y...

Following on from our incredibly successful NFC round-up, our AFC round-up begins in the East - maybe the toughest division in football. Will Rodgers shine in a new-look Jets team? Is Bill Belichick's job actually in danger? Can the Bills get over the hump and go to the big dance? Find out how little we know about these questions and more!
