Description
Rule changes like this may seem innocent, but they add up. They crawl inside the psyche of defensive players to structurally change the sport. Yes, banning the “hip-drop tackle” is another absurd overreach by the NFL. Players have every right to lose their minds right now. Here on the Go Long Show, with co-host and longtime scout Jim Monos, we discuss what this means for the sport and it harkens back to a conversation with ex-linebacker Chad Brown.

NFL Network reported that the Michigan quarterback is being considered at No. 2 overall. You can listen to the episode above, watch the video below or access the podcast everywhere you pod, including Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
