Olsen joins the show to discuss the NFL decision facing a number of ACC players including Florida State's Jameis Winston and Miami's Duke Johnson. He also gives his insight on Winston vs. Mariota and which one will be a better pro and discusses how the impact several rookie wide receivers have had this season can help the stock of the Seminoles' Rashad Greene and Louisville's DeVante Parker.
