NFC South Preview: Shaun King brings his quarterback takes loaded

All four teams in the NFC South made very different quarterback bets the last two years.

Carolina sold the farm for Bryce Young. Tampa Bay went thrifting for Baker Mayfield. New Orleans paid Derek Carr as the missing piece. And Atlanta, of course, shocked the football world by signing Kirk Cousins and drafting Michael Penix Jr. To wrap up our divisional preview podcasts, it only makes sense to welcome back former Bucs quarterback Shaun King.

His debut was one of my recent favorites. King didn’t hold back on his first appearance — here’s that audio/video and Q&A, icymi.

Now, the man who brought Tampa Bay within one controversial call of a Super Bowl in 1999 brings strong opinions on all five of those quarterbacks… and a few more for good measure.

He’s all-in on Mayfield and promises the Bucs googles have nothing to do with it.

Audio and video is above, and you can also access this episode everywhere you pod, including Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
