About this episode

The episode discusses the Packers' need to prove their contender status in 2026 despite a promising draft.

Despite a solid draft from the Packers, an inglorious end of the season has the NFL media and fans questioning them ahead of 2026. In order to be taken seriously, they're going to have to prove it on the field. Plus, why Chris McClellan is the draft pick under the most pressure, and what about a veteran tight end?
