On today’s episode of the Zero Blitz podcast, Jason Fitz is joined by NFL writer Frank Schwab and senior reporter Jori Epstein as they make nine picks for players they believe will need a bounce-back year in 2024.
While there may be a few obvious choices, including Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson and Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts, there are a few names that are sparking debate as to whether they are actually capable of having a good season to have or that their better days are. behind them.
Fitz, Frank and Jori also discuss Jayden Daniels working hard behind the scenes in the Washington Commanders camp and the work ethic he exhibits that the coaching staff hopes will rub off on the rest of the team. The Zero Blitz crew closes the show by asking if the Boston Celtics’ championship should be a lesson in patience that more teams in the NFL need.
