OTA Day 1 One Year Later: What A Difference

We have some fun revisiting the reactions to day one of OTAs from last year when there was some question about Sam Darnold as the starter that Mike Macdonald swatted down, and then we preview how different things are with the first day of 2026 OTAs starting today. We continue our Battle of the Best series, pitting the 2025 Dark Side defense against some new combatants.
