If you feel like your football flotilla is firmly planted in the middle of the June doldrums, you are not alone. Fortunately, despite the lack of any major action at the pro or college level right now, we still have plenty to talk about. The June 6 Quick Kicks Podcast lays the groundwork for discussing a potential top-10 pick in the 2017 NFL Draft.
