The Hammer of Thor (guest: Thor Nystrom) - a podcast by The Football Girl

It’s NFL Draft week! Yes, we’re in the midst of a global pandemic, but don’t let anyone try to steal your joy by making you feel guilty about getting absorbed in the NFL Draft. We have to take our joy where we can find it these days.

Joining host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) for a deep dive on rookie prospects is Rotoworld college football analyst Thor Nystrom (thorku). Thor makes an impassioned case for Tua Tagovailoa over Justin Herbert, examines the good and the bad in Jordan Love’s draft profile, and talks about how Jalen Hurts might fit into an NFL offense. Offering some interesting context on the top running backs in this class, Thor details why he puts Jonathan Taylor at No. 1 and J.K. Dobbins at No. 5. Thor and Pat talk about the possibility that Eno Benjamin could be this year’s Devin Singletary, and discuss the intriguing appeal of Antonio Gibson.

At wide receiver, does Thor prefer CeeDee Lamb or Jerry Jeudy, and does he think Henry Ruggs is a worthy first-round pick? Why is he so high on Laviska Shenault and so down on Donovan Peoples-Jones? Why does Thor list Denzel Mims and Jalen Reagor among his favorite draft crushes? Who is Thor’s favorite tight end in this year’s class (it’s not who you’d expect), and why does he compare Albert Okwuegbunam to Teddy KGB of “Rounders”? Listen in and find out.
