Gregory Rousseau only played 546 college snaps, but he made an incredible impact during his short tenure at Miami. Now, he's preparing for the NFL Draft and took some time during that process to join Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden to discuss his journey (38:00). But first our hosts chop it up on a multitude of topics. The guys start by breaking down their pre-draft interview process (1:15). What was the weirdest question they both received? Pat and BMac continue to bounce around, focusing on a potential boycott of offseason workouts (10:45), Hideki Matsuyama's Masters' win (13:45) and the untimely passing of hip hop legend, DMX (19:00). 'Has Pat Heard!?' follows testing P2 on Julian Edelman's retirement, Aaron Rodgers hosting Jeopardy! and Eddie George being named the head coach at Tennessee State (23:45). '21 Questions' gives the guys a chance to get technical when it comes to DBs (31:45). Then it's time to welcome our guest and soon-to-be 1st-round pick (38:00). Gregory Rousseau details day-to-day life since opting out and what led him to the decision to forego playing for the Hurricanes in 2020. He also takes us back in time to explain why he signed with Miami and what led to him pursuing defense over offense in college. Greg is a monster off the EDGE at 6'7 and shares that super-tall trait with another former Hurricane, Calais Campbell, who has acted as a mentor to the draft prospect. While Greg ended his high school career in Dade County, he grew up in Broward County just like Pat and BMac. He explains how his roots helped him believe he could achieve his pro football dreams. Rousseau evaluates his Pro Day performance, opens up about how he responds to teams asking about a lack of film and lets us in on the organizations that have shown the most interest during the pre-draft process. Greg will be in attendance in Cleveland, but hasn't decided if he'll go for the handshake or hug with Commissioner Roger Goodell. We learn more about his positional versatility, before ending on Superlatives!
