They also look at the rankings of the NFL's best under-25 roster rankings according to "analytics nerd" Aaron Schatz -- why doesn't Xavier McKinney get a mention??? Jason also asks if Packers fans are overestimating Zach Tom while undervaluing Romeo Doubs, and are we just too close to these players to properly evaluate them compared to the national media?

After copious amounts of soccer talk, the fellas are ready to get back to American football and more specifically, Josh Jacobs’ role in the Green Bay Packers offense.
