They also discuss the new rule proposals in the NFL, and continue their Aaron Rodgers watch as it seems the Vikings are officially not interested. Joining the progrum to chat more about the NFL Draft and some of the movement in his latest mock drafts, where Jaxon Dart might end up going, and the Big 12 combine at the Cowboys practice facility in Frisco Texas is former NFL scout and current NFL Draft guru for the NFL Network, Daniel Jeremiah.
