The Fan Teaser: Week 79 Solution

Ever wonder what’s going on inside this man’s head? Who is this man?

Forty years ago, the television viewing world became acquainted with Mel Kiper Jr., NFL Draft analyst for ESPN, and he’s not stopped infiltrating our Draft Day since

Kiper’s a quirky fella – no cheese but mashed potatoes on his pizza? how about no cell phone? – but he’s built an industry out of quirky and taking a deep dive into college football prospects that began while he was still in high school. That first gig with ESPN back in 1984? He earned a whopping $400.
