KCSN Draft Show 4/13: Exclusive Shrine Bowl Interviews with Anthony Lucas, Patrick Payton, Riley Mahlman, and Robert Spears-Jennings

from KC Sports Network: Kansas City Chiefs Podcasts · host Matt Lane

It's the final episode of our prospect interview series, recorded on-site at the East-West Shrine Bowl in Dallas. With the NFL Draft just a week and a half away, we wrap up our coverage by sitting down with four prospects to discuss their journeys, playing styles, and potential fits at the next level. Featured Interviews: Anthony Lucas (DE, USC): A powerful defensive end with a high pedigree, Lucas discusses his transition from Texas A&M to USC and how his background in basketball and baseball shaped his motor and footwork on the field. Patrick Payton (DE, LSU): The LSU edge rusher breaks down his pass-rush plan and physical traits, including his impressive length and ability to play the run—qualities the hosts note as a strong "Steve Spagnuolo fit." Riley Mahlman (OT, Wisconsin): Standing at 6'8", the Wisconsin tackle shares insights into his development and the technical aspects of playing on the edge versus kicking inside at the pro level. Robert Spears-Jennings (S, Oklahoma): The versatile safety talks about his elite speed, his physical playstyle at 205 pounds, and how he can contribute both as a box athlete and a deep protector.   —Join us for the fifth annual KCSN Foundation Tacos & Bourbon Golf Tournament on Aug. 17 at Creekmoor Golf Course!
