2024 NFL Draft Review Series

For those who haven’t been following along on the Sideline Specialists YouTube channel, welcome to our 2024 NFL Draft Review series! Tom Deasey, one-half of the hosts of the podcast, has put together videos for a number of the rookies that were drafted in this year’s draft.
