I thought it was really funny that the verbiage that came away from the Devondre Campbell situation sounded a lot like John Harbaugh talking about Deontay Johnson. And a lot of people were like, they're just going to cut him. And I was like, I bet you he gets suspended just like Deontay did. And sure enough, it's three games instead of one, but it's still the same result.
Speaker 1
Right. The NFLPA, I feel like, is getting involved in the Deontay Johnson thing, if I had to guess. And because when they said mutually and that he's not suspended, it's like, all right, we'll pay you while we figure this thing out. Suspended means we're not paying you. They suspended him last week. Now there's something in between. Devondra Campbell, they're not going to pay him. We'll see if the NFLPA appeals. We'll see if Devondra Campbell gets another job. It's too bad. People are just going to think about him this way, but he was kind of nearing the end of the line anyways. Yeah. He had some nice runs. You know, he had that you know pro bowl run in green bay more importantly shook just for me and we gotta get we gotta get out of here we're gonna get you to bed actually no you just drank coffee we're gonna get you just drink a midnight drink
Speaker 2
a midnight coffee yes 12 30 a.m coffee man
Speaker 1
i said this show was gonna be quick and now we're getting on. No, go ahead. Andre Campbell was half of the 500 words that I wrote about the, uh, Falcons linebacker core at halftime of the Superbowl against the Patriots. Cause him and Deion Jones were killing the Patriots and Tom freaking Brady for the first half of that game. And I was like, I'm going to write something about their defense and kind of focus on Deion Jones and Campbell. And yeah, that never got published. Let's go to my favorite part of the week. Let's go to Captain's Corner presented by Captain Morgan. Let's have you get us going, Shook.
Speaker 2
All right. Extreme bias here. And I know you can't see this because we're not on YouTube in this portion of the show, but I am wearing a Kent State Golden Flashes hoodie. OK, that's my alma mater. And there is a guy in the NFL who has traveled quite a road to get to this point. Now, he's only a rookie, but he's been through plenty of adversity already. His name is Devontae Walker. He played receiver at Kent State. He hit the portal and went to North Carolina. But because he had played, he had been at multiple different programs before, he was ruled ineligible at North Carolina by the NCAA. It made a huge stink in the college football ranks. Everybody was upset. He should have been eligible. He was supposed to be. Then he wasn't. Mack Brown and everybody came out with a statement against it. And then eventually the NCAA reversed course and he was eligible. Well, now he's in the NFL. And I thought it was a savvy pick by Eric DaCosta and the Rams when they picked him up in the offseason. He recorded one catch on Sunday for a touchdown, a touchdown that was a grab in the back of the end zone, which on replay, not sure if it was actually a touchdown, but it stood on the field. And he finishes with 21 yards and the touchdown. That's my captain for the week because he's a golden flash. Former golden flash, four-tar heel, got his touchdown. Kent
Speaker 1
State, rough season for, what are you guys called? The Flyers? The golden flashes, we went 0-12. Golden Flashes. We are the
Speaker 2
worst program in college football because we
Speaker 1
were ready. Oh, that's tough. That's tough. I've been there. Tulane was pretty close to that for a few years. They're out of that. Who knows? You could be playing in the Gasparilla Bowl before long like Tulane was this year. tez walker best known as the guy who was like kind of disappointing me when i was watching drake may film last year but like was was making some plays you know yeah making some plays um my captain of the week is gonna be who i believe to be the best wide receiver of all the rookies talking about redrafts i'm taking brian thomas jr number one sorry malik neighbors there's only so many guys that are 6364 215 like brian thomas and moves like he moves it has great hands i was like i saw this tweet over the weekend they're like when was the last guy that came out that ran sub 435 that actually had good hands i don't know what drop uh there's probably a xavier worthy play like inspired the tweet i don't even know. And I'm like, Brian Thomas jr. He just came out. He's doing everything. He was so good in that game on Sunday. Uh, he made Mac Jones, uh, look fantastic. The, the burst that he has to go from zero to 60 and that using car term in like a second on that 41 yarder on the crossing route was just like, it was unbelievable. But he ended up going 10 for 105. It's hurting his yards per reception because, you know, they're only going to throw the ball short. But he made so many people miss. He's a yak god. He's got the hands. He's a much better route runner than anyone expected this early. He is awesome. I'm feeling good about having him number three on my offensive rookie of the year ladder or number
Speaker 2
four, whatever it was. Number four. I'm checking it right now. And I was
Speaker 1
three. Now he's up. He's moved up over the last week. He's now up to number three. That that's how much I like Brian Thomas. That was the captain's corner presented by Captain Morgan.
