  • Good show

    Good content but the phrase “over here” every other sentence gets really grating after a while. You can’t unhear it once you notice it. Solid show just some (hopefully) constructive criticism

    I would never make a parlay without first listening to this podcast. Not only do interesting people come on the show, but it keeps you listening. Look into the mirror and ask yourself, “do I really wanna listen to the Joe Rogan Experience again?” No, no you don’t. You want to listen to NFL Spotlight and stop making stupid bets.

  • My new go to podcast fot NFL

    Great podcast with wonderful insights (and solid predictions). Ari is great and he must just have the best producer in the biz with Ben Allen setting him up with great questions.

Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter Explains His Name, Path To NFL, Working With Daniel Jones / Spotlight Guest
Q: That be the correct welcome to the NFL moment for you? I mean, that has to be like the biggest one.
There are multiple defining moments each year in the NFL, and while that particular moment stands out, there were many instances where getting my foot in the door and being around great coaches like Caldwell and Moore created the trajectory for my career.
Dolphins Center Aaron Brewer Shares Story Of Going From Undrafted Free Agent To An All-Pro
Q: What does it mean to you to be recognized as a finalist for the Protector of the Year?
It validated the blood, sweat, and years of hard work, and even though I didn't win, being named a finalist fuels me to chase first‑team all‑pro status and keep proving that I belong among the best at the position.
Dolphins Center Aaron Brewer Shares Story Of Going From Undrafted Free Agent To An All-Pro
Q: What was it like to make the Titans and then become a starter after starting as an undrafted player?
It was a mix of relief and determination; once I started getting reps and had Ben Jones as a mentor, I understood that working hard and staying ready would allow me to grow into a pivotal role, culminating in becoming a starter and earning respect across the offense line room.
Dolphins Center Aaron Brewer Shares Story Of Going From Undrafted Free Agent To An All-Pro
Q: How did you handle going undrafted and the COVID year specifically?
I focused on proving myself regardless of draft status, moved to Nashville to train, did a pro day on a baseball field due to the situation, and kept faith that if it was meant to be, it would happen, which kept me motivated through doubt.
Dolphins Center Aaron Brewer Shares Story Of Going From Undrafted Free Agent To An All-Pro
Q: What was your mindset going into the 2020 NFL Draft process?
My mindset was to go all in, finish my degree if possible, and train with everything I had, because I believed it was a once‑in‑a lifetime opportunity that I couldn't waste, even though the year was disrupted by COVID.
