Episode notes

- The 2026 quarterback class has the most to gain or lose because many teams need QBs and there aren't enough available via trade or free agency.
- Players like Ty Simpson, Garrett Nussmeier, and Luke Altmyer can reverse weak 2025 tape with strong combine throwing exhibitions and interviews that reshape narratives.
Use Senior Bowl And Interviews To Reset Tape
- Do use the Senior Bowl and combine to reset perceptions by showing traits scouts care about like leadership and processing, not just 2025 stats.
- Bucky Brooks notes Altmyer's Senior Bowl success plus coach endorsements can shift how teams view him.
Mendoza Can Skip Drills Without Consequence

- Mendoza can selectively participate since he already validated himself through an undefeated championship season.
