Episode Details

On this episode of Sahlen’s Off Tackle with John Fina, the longtime Buffalo Bills lineman pulls back the curtain on one of the most intense and misunderstood journeys in football: the NFL Draft process. Drawing from his own experience, Fina walks listeners through what it really feels like to be a prospect from the pressure packed lead up to draft night to the uncertainty of waiting for your name to be called.

Fina dives into the behind-the-scenes grind that fans don’t always see: the endless film study, combine interviews, team visits, and psychological evaluations that can make or break a player’s stock. He explains how teams evaluate not just talent, but character, intelligence, and fit within their system and how quickly perceptions can shift in the weeks leading up to the draft.

Blending personal stories with expert analysis, Fina gives listeners a rare, authentic look at the draft through a player’s eyes making this a must listen for any fan who wants to understand what prospects truly experience on their path to the NFL.
