Everything you need to know about the NFL draft

(The Minnesota Star Tribune)

Former Gophers defensive back Brock Vereen joins host Michael Rand to take listeners behind the scenes of everything that happens as a young player tries to get drafted and make it in the NFL.

Vereen, a fourth-round pick of the Bears in 2014, said the mental grind of the scouting combine — which normally happens this time of year — is far more excruciating than anything on the physical side.

Rand also digs into the Minnesota Wild, a team that had his curiosity but now has his attention.

And an interesting stat about Ricky Rubio and what has gone wrong — or right — for the Wolves in the clutch lately.
