The Drive | Hour 3 | 07.07.25

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the first batch of the NFL’s top 100 player rankings. Zach Allen was featured in the #90-100 list, is this disrespectful and should he have been ranked higher? We dive into the odd situation between the recently added Jonas Valanciunas and the Nuggets. What is the likelihood that Valanciunas does not play for the Nuggets this season and instead in Europe, as he reportedly wants to? Does Valanciunas have any leverage over the organization for the Nuggets to allow him to play overseas? What do the guys make of Myles Garrett advocating for Joe Flacco to be the starter in Cleveland over Shedeur Sanders? We wrap up the hour with the Broncos and Zach asks if John Franklin-Meyers is an underrated and underpaid player that the team should be looking to keep in Denver.
