Best-kept SECRET in Patriots rookie class
About this episode
The Patriots’ best-kept secret in their rookie class is an undrafted free agent, but it’s not Efton Chism. Spoiler alert, it’s Elijah Ponder, a 6’3”, 260lb linebacker with insane combine numbers. Phil Perry says it’s a mystery he wasn’t drafted. Listen to an exclusive interview with Ponder, and Phil shares why exactly he likes the rookie so much.
Not only that, but Phil also answers a handful of mailbag questions at the end of the show.
