He was a two-sport athlete in high school who had to choose between playing D1 quarterback or minor league baseball. Lucky for Austin Aune the New York Yankees made the decision for him, drafting him into their farm system with a million dollar contract. But after six years of bus trips and grinding in the minors, the Yankees released him. Was this the end of his dreams of playing in the pros? Not quite! Instead Aune returned to football, eventually finding his way back under center - this time for the University of North Texas. Now he’s a 29 year-old NFL draft prospect, hoping to have his name called on draft night and he joins Shek and Shazier to take them through every twist and turn along the way! Plus the guys dive into a special draft season edition of “The Check Down” with a look at CJ Stroud’s journey to possible #1 overall pick, if Jaxson Smith-Njigba can overcome an injury plagued 2022 season to reach his potential in the NFL, and what Joey Porter Jr. would look like as a Pittsburgh Steeler.
