For this week's episode of BPA, I sat down w/ESPN's Dan Orlovsky to talk about what young QBs can do to help themselves (regardless of surroundings), how athleticism is a now a necessity (instead of a bonus), and how to build the perfect QB using 6 key traits:

Cam Ward is no stranger to being overlooked, and he's proven the doubters wrong every step of the way.

"He was always about the work. He's a baller, period."

From my conversation w/ESPN's Louis Riddick on "Best Podcast Available" for @athlonsports.bsky.social:

The NFL's No. 1 Pick, Cam Ward Is Still (Somehow) Underrated
Even as the top pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Cam Ward is flying under the radar as he looks to return the Tennessee Titans to relevance, but he's no stranger to making doubters pay for overlooking his value.

With individual improvements & a little help from his supporting cast, Marvin Harrison Jr. might get closer to his lofty (if unfair) predraft expectations.

The Jets were worse last year with Aaron Rodgers than they were the year before without him.

Why should Steelers fans believe they'll fare any better?

My latest for @athlonsports.bsky.social:

Aaron Rodgers is finally landing in Pittsburgh, but is there any reason to believe he'll be more successful there than he was in New York last year?
