Undrafted Rookie

We conclude our little NFC round-up with a look at the NFC South. A division of four teams with four new starting QBs, who were only separated by one win in 2022. The NFC South is a tough one to predict. So naturally, that's what we tried to do. Only time will tell just how badly we did.

Jake returns to chat all things NFC North and look ahead to the upcoming NFL season. How will the Packers fare without Aaron Rodgers? Can the Lions build upon their 2023 success? Could the Bears surprise us all and go worst-to-first? Unlikely to be honest... We try to answer some of these questions, albeit with the significant help of Gregg Rosenthal's Projected Starters article on NFL.com. Twitte...

Following on from last week's round-up of the NFC East, our focus turns to the NFC West. Will the 49ers dominate again? Will Geno Smith lead a young Seahawks team to a surprise division title? Can the Cardinals do something good? Who knows? Not us. Twitter: @UndraftedRooky Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

With the upcoming 2023 season in mind, we discuss the state of play in the NFC East. Will the Eagles reign supreme once again? Can Daniel Jones be more than just "alright"? Will Ron Rivera keep his job and send the Commanders (if they are still called that by the time you read this) to the playoffs? Good questions, none of which we really know the answer to...

In Paul's continued absence we are joined this week by Hazel, another true rookie who at one point referred to a game as "an episode". Hazel describes her introduction to the NFL, talks about how the New Orleans Saints "chose her", and waxes lyrical about Taysom Hill.

Paul is unavailable for this one, but never fear we have a capable replacement! Jake joins in the fun and we talk about his introduction to the NFL, and suggestions for improvement. Listen to find out how the NFL could and should be more like rugby, how to fix the schedule so that the games are no longer on a school night, and why Tour de France highlights are so rubbish.

DISCLAIMER: this one had some serious audio quality issues, as well as some more general structural issues, sorry about that. Believe it or not the version you're hearing is actually significantly better than the original audio. An actual in-person episode, which didn't quite go to plan. After trying to watch a random game on Game-pass presented far too many technical problems, we instead decide t...

A discussion about what can be done to make the NFL more entertaining. From genuinely good ideas to genuinely dangerous ones. We talk about the possibility of an NFL division moving overseas, how to spruce-up the extra points, and a brand new version of the game Paul insists on calling KrAzY-NFL.

Paul decides once and for all to be a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles. As such, he does a little research into his new love. We learn about plenty of Eagles history. Paul also has to backtrack from his previously held position that it would be a bit of a cheat to jump on the bandwagon of a team from the Superbowl. Twitter: @UndraftedRookie Email: undraftedrookiepodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. Se...

With Aaron Rodgers' trade to the New York Jets finally confirmed, we take a relatively in depth look at his career to date. We talk about how he started at a local community college and worked his way to be one of the greatest players in NFL history. But you can't only talk about football when it comes to Aaron Rodgers... we also touch on his four-day darkness retreat, that time he hosted Jeopardy...

We recap the 2023 NFL draft! Well, I say recap, Paul didn't watch it in the first place. Who were the winners and losers of the draft? Why was John's mock draft so bad? Does anyone actually watch the entire draft? Sadly, there were some sound quality issues with this one, we've done what we can to fix them but we don't really know anything about audio editing so it's still not ideal. Twitter: @Und...

An episode all about the NFL scouting combine. That's right, we've dedicated a whole episode to one of the least interesting parts of the entire offseason. Paul measures himself against draft prospects by predicting how well he reckons he can do in the combine drills. John also gives an incredibly overly-detailed account of how the Texans lost the number one pick on the final day of the season. No...

A real deep dive on the life and times of Lamar Jackson. Recorded in March '23, we learn about Jackson's career to date and speculate what happens next after he is given the non-exclusive franchise tag by the Ravens.

This episode is all about the NFL draft. What is it? How does it work? Why do we care? John also has a nice little quiz about college teams, and Paul learns what a franchise tag is and talks at length about Draft Day.

Paul learns the players' positions! Congratulations to him. Where do all the players line-up? Why do running backs not get paid? Why is there a tight end but no loose end? Answers to all these questions and more (well, not really answers, but we ask these questions at least). Plus, we recap a lost episode and John manages to shoe-horn in more movie chat, this time about The Blind Side. Twitter: @U...

The very first episode of Undrafted Rookie! How do UK fans choose their teams? If you could go to any NFL game what would it be? Why can Paul only name 2 current NFL quarterbacks? We'll answer these questions and more as we introduce ourselves and really demonstrate our truly exceptional levels of ignorance. Paul also tells us about his informal American football games played after school that inc...
