On this episode of 3 & Out, John Middlekauff dives into what separates good quarterbacks from great ones, using Baker Mayfield and Tony Romo as examples in a conversation about the mental toughness required to succeed in the NFL. From handling adversity to leading a locker room, John explains why the psychological side of the position is just as important as physical talent.
The conversation then turns to the latest rumors surrounding Aaron Donald's potential return to the NFL. Is the future Hall of Famer really considering another run, and which teams would make the most sense if he decides to come back?
