Episode notes
NFL's National Brand Power
- NFL's success comes largely from the nature of football as a weekly, violent game and national broadcasts making teams feel like a league brand, not just local franchises.
- Unlike NBA or MLB, NFL audiences watch key games regardless of market size, especially in playoffs and Super Bowl.

- Being drafted in the fifth round instead of the third doesn't greatly affect Shador Sanders' chances given NFL draft pick expectations.
- The real question is which older veteran QB the Browns will keep since only one backup is needed.

- The Browns quarterback room is weak and uncertain, making it plausible for multiple QBs, including Shador Sanders, to have a chance to start.
- There's little cause for optimism from the existing QBs like Kenny Pickett.
