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.
