Podcast: The 8th Round!

This week we have a Kentucky Wildcat version of The 8th Round. DeQuin Evans and Rickey Lumpkin joined us to talk about their Wildcat careers and the path they are taking to the NFL. Both of them are very driven, well spoken individuals. This was a fun interview and the first time we have talked to 2 players at once. Randall Cobb was the next topic, basically where does he fit in the NFL? We even got a few lines from DeQuin and Rickey about their former teammate. We ended the show with a brief chat about the Combine and which players wowed us in a good and bad way. The combine discussion included several different players making moves. We each had our list of players that impressed and also disappointed. Listen in to see some of the sleeper prospects that might be making moves after their combine performances. Enjoy!
