When Curtis Samuel scored the touchdown that ended Ohio State's epic, double-overtime battle with Michigan last month, Urban Meyer found himself in the strangest of positions. In 27 years of covering the sport, I don't believe I've ever seen a college football coach respond to a win in that manner. In a profession where men train themselves to have unnaturally suppressed reactions to dramatic outcomes, this was human Urban coming out.

Belichick & Kraft, Justin Jefferson's trade value, the future of QB evals | Inside Coverage
Jason Fitz is joined by Yahoo Sports Senior NFL Reporters Charles Robinson & Jori Epstein to pull back the curtain on the latest news from around the NFL. The trio start off with a report that New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft told Arthur Blank not to hire Bill Belichick, as they dive into how the relationship between Belichick and Kraft fractured over time and what it means for Belichick's future. In other news, Justin Jefferson was absent from voluntary workouts, sparking a conversation as to what it would take to acquire possibly the best young wide receiver in the league. Later, Charles dives into some digging he's been doing on the New York Giants' quarterback evaluations and whether or not they could end up taking one early in the draft, which leads to a conversation on Jori's latest piece around how quarterback evaluations are changing (and speeding up). Charles finishes off the show with what he's hearing on this year's weak running back class and how it could make history (in a bad way).
