00:00 NFL preseason is here. We're talking the number one, two, three storylines. Number one,
00:05 Washington Commanders who will be their quarterback. Number two, Deuce Vaughn for the Dallas Cowboys dazzling in his debut.
00:12 What is storyline number three? I think it's what went on in Foxborough and boy if you watch that game, it was a yawner for
00:20 57 minutes and then here comes a Malik Cunningham.
00:24 Undrafted free agent. The Patriots give him a record guaranteed money for undrafted free agent out of Louisville, but
00:32 Bailey Zappi was boring and Trace McSorley was boring and the running game went nowhere.
00:38 And all of a sudden here comes a Malik Cunningham and he
00:40 he looks like Lamar Jackson. Went to the same college as Lamar Jackson.
00:44 He's juking guys in the run. He's athletic. He's mobile.
00:49 Don't look, now the Patriots offense is excited.
00:51 I mean, again for like three minutes, but he escaped a rush, spun out, rolled to his right, threw a perfect pass in the end zone
00:59 that Trey Nixon wound up dropping. That's been the highlight, one of the highlights of the week.
01:04 But I think he showed enough and we've talked about this before.
01:08 Rob Gronkowski always said in meetings and in game planning
01:13 Bill Belichick just always salivated over having a dual threat quarterback. Now Tom Brady's not a bad guy to have,
01:20 but he was always like, well, I could just get one of these guys, maybe after Brady.
01:24 They made a run at Lamar Jackson when he was doing his holdout.
01:27 Is Belichick like all of a sudden like, this is my guy.
01:31 Let's don't say, he's not QB one yet, but you know what?
01:35 He's QB three with a bullet towards QB two and they played on Thursday. On Sunday in Foxboro,
01:40 there's a Malik Cunningham taking first team reps at quarterback. A guy who they probably brought in and think he might be a receiver.
01:47 So it's a little too soon to anoint him the guy, you know, and Matt Jones still has the job for now, but
01:53 that's somebody to pencil in right now.
01:56 Something to watch for sure.
