The Athletic Football Show: A show about the NFL episodes

July 30, 2024 New deals for Tua and Jordan Love, a new season for second-year quarterbacks, and a new co-host for TAFS
We at The Athletic Football Show are turning the page in more ways than one on this episode. Not only are we now firmly pointed toward the start of the 2024 NFL season, we are welcoming our new co-host. Derrik Klassen joins The Athletic Football Show as a permanent member of the cast, so it's only fitting that we focus on quarterbacks on this episode. The guys discuss the Tua Tagovailoa extension, welcome The Athletic Packers beat reporter Matt Schneidman to break down Jordan Love's, and break down what success looks like for this season's second-year quarterbacks—C.J. Stroud, Anthony Richardson, Bryce Young and Will Levis.
