On February 19, former NFL offensive lineman and current Fox Sports analyst and radio host Geoff Schwartz tweeted out a question. “If I did a Gruden QB Camp but for the top OL prospects for this draft would y’all want to watch that?”
If I did a Gruden QB Camp but for the top OL prospects for this draft would y'all want to watch that? Watch the film together, break it down, discuss, etc…

Almost 40,000 Likes later, the answer was clear. And at the time, Schwartz followed up that tweet by saying “This is closer to happening than not.” He was not lying.
Fox Sports announced this week that Schwartz will be the host of “Big Boys Club: O-Line Draft Academy,” in which he will work with five of the top offensive line prospects in this year’s NFL Draft. The list of prospects includes Oregon’s Penei Sewell, Wisconsin-Whitewater’s Quinn Meinerz, Northwestern’s Rashawn Slater, Tennessee’s Trey Smith, and Oklahoma’s Creed Humphrey. Just as Gruden used to do with quarterbacks, Schwartz will watch film, break down tape, and discuss the NFL prospects of each player.
Join @geoffschwartz and @BigDuke50 as they meet with some of the top OL prospects in this year's draft!
