Conversations with NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah and Former NFL DE Akbar Gbajabiamila

It's a special interview-only edition of Straight Fire! First, former NFL scout and NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah swings by to discuss what it was like seeing the development of Justin Herbert up close and personal as the radio color analyst for the Los Angeles Chargers, why the Senior Bowl evaluations could be big this year given that there will be no NFL Combine this year, why the quarterback position might be the toughest college-to-pros evaluation in all of football, why he has both BYU's Zach Wilson and North Dakota State's Trey Lance ahead of Ohio State's Justin Fields heading into the NFL Draft, why the New York Jets' decision on Sam Darnold is more complicated that you think, why he wouldn't be surprised to see Deshaun Watson sit out the season if he's unable to force a trade from the Houston Texans, why he's very skeptical that the Las Vegas Raiders could get one first round pick - let alone two - in a trade for Derek Carr, why he's picking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to win the Super Bowl, and much more! Later, former NFL defensive end Akbar Gbajabiamila checks in to tell us why why he expects the Bucs front four to have success against the banged up Chiefs offensive line, why it was always foolish to say Andy Reid couldn't win 'the big one' before last season, why he's a big proponent of young athletes playing multiple sports rather than just specializing in one growing up, what it would mean for the Raiders organization if they're somehow able to land Deshaun Watson, and much more!
