Former BYU linebacker and six-year NFL veteran Bryan Kehl joined Y's Guys to share what life in the NFL is really like — including his favorite game (a Sunday Night Football winner-take-all NFC East showdown with the New York Giants), what it feels like to walk onto an NFL field, and the biggest misconception fans have: most roster spots are a daily fight to keep, and not everyone is making generational money. He also reflected on how NIL has flipped the script to the point where top BYU players today are earning more than he made in his sixth NFL season.
On the football side, Bryan delivered his Big 12 preseason top five — BYU #1, Texas Tech #2, Houston #3, Arizona #4, TCU #5 — citing Bear Bachmeier's ball security, LJ Martin's dominance, and incoming linebacker Cade Uluave as reasons the Cougars are the class of the conference. He picked Notre Dame in October and the rivalry game at Utah in November as the season's two must-win moments, and responded to a CBS report that as many as 10 BYU players could be drafted in 2027 by praising Kalani Sitake's recruiting and calling it the path to a national championship.
