The Drive | Hour 3 | 07.15.26

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil preview the Colorado State Rams for 2026. How are the experts predicting CSU's finish in the new Pac-12? Zach calls his shot for their quarterback to garner national attention by the end of the season. We react to the NFL's top 10 wide receivers as voted on by scouts, executives, and coaches. Were the Broncos' wideouts of Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton disrespected with how few votes they received or not getting any votes? We debate if the Nuggets need to make a drastic change with their roster after we saw Brad Stevens in Boston trade away Jaylen Brown to create roster flexibility. Is it too difficult to build a championship roster with two players on max contracts? Do the Nuggets need to trade Jamal Murray after three straight years of poor playoff performances? With the ESPY's tonight, we preview the categories with Denver athletes involved and categories in which Denver athletes should have been nominated.
