Patrick Peterson and Bryant McFadden have been hyped about the 2021 NFL season for months and Week 1 is finally here! First, the guys chop it up on their 'Welcome to the League' moments (1:20). Both had pretty impressive debut performances! Next, SKOL Check-In covers the Vikings from a season-long perspective while also diving into this week's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals (4:05). Pat P breaks down the keys to victory and responds to comments from Ja'Marr Chase. BMac offers his prediction. Will he have Minnesota coming out on top? Listen to find out! Then it's time to welcome on a great LSU Tiger, great TV analyst and great individual, Marcus Spears (20:00). Spears discusses meaningful moments along his football journey including his recruiting process that started and ended in Baton Rouge, the difficulty of switching positions in college and what he learned from Nick Saban. Big Swagu remembers his iconic Pick Six in the 2003 National Championship Game (11:00) and what makes college football so unique and special. The guys then transition to pro football as Marcus breaks down getting drafted by the Cowboys and going from Saban to Bill Parcells as his head coach.
