Rookie Development Hits and Misses: Going Deep with Angelo and Waldman


On this week’s episode of the Going Deep podcast, Brandon Angelo and Matt Waldman discuss why NFL quarterback development has taken a step backward, why they should look to the past to create a better future, and thoughts on the current quarterback who slipped through three team’s fingers. 

Brandon Angelo works in sports and human performance. A former 4-time All-American and Power Five conference champion sprinter, Brandon is a mentor, instructor, and guide for athletes. He’s also the proprietor of Angelo Analysis, a subscription-based fantasy website devoted to player evaluation.
After doing a few podcasts together during the past 12 months, Brandon and I decided we would enjoy having a recurring show to discuss aspects of player evaluation and NFL Draft topics that you don’t often hear about in mainstream media. This pre-draft pod about the NFL’s disparities with 40 times and several more ’23 draft and free agent topics is a must-listen.
Going Deep will feature podcasts twice a month. You can either watch/listen on YouTube, listen from the player at the bottom of the page, or download the podcast at most outlets, including Google, Spotify, and iTunes.

This Week’s Topics

  • QB development trajectories in the NFL Why a month of GMs is rarely enough to know who is good enough to be a long-term guy.
  • Tom Brady’s story and what football could learn from it rather than treat it as an outlier—or should they?
  • Denver’s backfield
  • Arizona’s WR corps and the QB that got away from three teams that could use him.
  • Jahmyr Gibbs and fantasy/fan patience levels
  • Justin Fields and Bears offense vs. Denver.

And of course, if you want to know about the rookies from this draft class, you will find the most in-depth analysis of offensive skill players available (QB, RB, WR, and TE), with the 2023 Rookie Scouting Portfolio for $21.95.
