Before joining ESPN in April 2025, he was a founding host of NFL Network's weekday morning show Good Morning Football, alongside Kyle Brandt, Jason McCourty, and Jamie Erdahl, from its launch through March 2025.

Treat with caution. The MissedTakes Score is how much better than a naive baseline they did, not how often they were right. Zero means no better than a strategy requiring no knowledge. A record is counted in ARTICLES rather than individual calls, because thirty picks in one mock draft is one act of judgment rather than thirty.
