The episode opens with live betting commentary on a tense NHL game, before diving into deep dives on quarterback prospects like Carson Beck (30 to 1), Cade Klubnik (80 to 1), and the overlooked Kalen Black (125 to 1) as a potential breakout running back for the 49ers.

NFL Rookie of the Year Deep Dive

If he plugs into a 49ers offense, that's pretty decent. And you know, you get Trent Williams back at the offensive line. The rest of the offense is good. And it's a running back that Kyle Shanahan likes in that system. Man, if you get 12 good Kalen Black games as the running back number one for the 49ers, that is definitely worth 125 to one.
