A weekly phone conversation between fantasy veterans Bob Harris and Matt Waldman is a quick and dirty run-down of NFL players, units, or teams. https://youtu.be/AVuIecucooA Topics 1. Cam Ward is the safest rookie to withstand the onslaught of starting year one in the NFL. 2. Kyle Monangai could be the next Ray Davis-Jaylen Warren of this class. 3. Jaydon Blue has one of the highest ceilings in this class. 4. Jacory Croskey-Merritt deserves his sleeper tag. 5. Tez Johnson is too small to play WR in the NFL. 6. Daniel Jackson is a better prospect in the slot than Xavier Restrepo 7. The Giants don't need to draft a quarterback this year. 8. Bru McCoy deserves more attention 9. If Andrew Luck is the Frankenstein of Josh Allen and Tim Tebow. Will Howard is the "Young Frankenstein" version of these two. 10. Hunter Dekkers would have earned a draftable grade in the RSP if included. 11. Tyler Shough's pocket presence is a concern that could derail a future shot to start. 12. Mason Taylor could be a Mark Andrews-like fit for a team. 13. Brock Bowers is a good comparison for Tyler Warren 14. Luther Burden is a better prospect than Marvin Harrison, Jr. 15. Brashard Smith is closer to Aaron Jones than most think 16. Marcus Yarns is the most intriguing rookie RB in the class. 17. Lan Larison is a pen name for Cecil Lammey trying to become an NFL RB.   Now entering its 20th season, learn more about Matt Waldman's RSP  — the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill position players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE).

When they say football is what you do not who you are, I don't believe that, I feel like who and what we did under that helmet, sticks with you, that animal, that monster and for me it was a Samurai. It's not the play, I played a million plays, I did the best I could, I've let go of the play, it's how I've been treated since that I don't feel like is fair and I finally had enough.” Rashard Mendenhall opens up about his fumble in Super Bowl 45 in today's conversation on The Pivot. As we end a year, we are reminded that some of us carry burdens with us that we know nothing about and until we are able to open up and release it, the thought and feeling torments us. For former Steelers running back Rashard Mendenhall, it's one play he feels has cast a shadow over everything else he's done in his career on and off the football field. In a heavy but necessary conversation, the guys create a space for a tough but instrumental discussion about life, letting go and owning up to a mistake. Ryan and Fred sit down with Rashard for a conversation that got to the root of recent controversial comments made by the Steeler great, focusing on how one moment in the running back's career has caused a decade of torment.  Super Bowl 45 saw Ryan and Rashard's Pittsburgh team fall to the Green Bay Packers, and the crew discussed how Mendenhall's fumble played a crucial part in that game and his life beyond it.  Last week, Mendenhall made waves in the NFL media world with a Tweet that seemed to pit a potential all-white player team and all-black player team against one another.  Fans, players and personalities alike ran with the concept and made the hypothetical scenario become a little more real with debate and discussions, without the true context of why he said what he said and the root of it all. Ryan and Fred point out that NFL players are constantly in the public eye and there needs to be a disconnect from the media at times as it can have personal implications. Just last week Jonathan Owens and The Pivot team received scrutiny for the comments about Jonathan's wife Simone Biles, yet as the hosts know, outside talk can always be insensitive as celebrities become a canvas and the guys reiterate how much love is between the young couple and encourage people to open minds to what's reality vs what a false narrative creates. The situation in Denver has another player under the microscope as Russell Wilson has been benched by the Broncos, and the guys talk about Sean Payton and how Russ deserved better. Ryan isn't shy about his thoughts on Payton's moves from day one and how not only is it unprofessional but disrespectful in today's game. One thing is certain, and it is that Freddy T is getting some of the love he deserves. Taylor was named a modern-era finalist on the upcoming ballot, but as Kobe says, “the job's not done.” From our Pivot Family to yours, Happy New Year and we are ready for a full 2024 that's going to be our best yet!
