## Resource

Bucky Brooks is joined by former Ohio State linebacker and NBC Sports analyst Joshua Perry to break down top NFL Draft prospects. The conversation centers on quarterback Fernando Mendoza, debating whether he’s a true franchise-changing talent or more of a system-dependent game manager who thrives in a run-heavy offense. They discuss the importance of fit, personality, and how Mendoza’s game translates to the NFL. The duo also dives into Ohio State standouts, including linebackers Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles, , and safety Caleb Downs, praised for his football IQ and leadership. Wide receiver Carnell Tate is projected as a future impact player, though likely starting as a No. 2 option in the NFL. They also touch on Michigan edge rusher Derrick Moore’s power-based pass rush concerns and Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson as an explosive, under-the-radar playmaker with home-run ability.
