Class is back in session on 89, but today, there’s a new professor at the front of the room. Three-time Pro Bowler and rushing champion Maurice Jones-Drew (MJD) is taking over the desk to hand out his official Rookie Report Cards for the 2025 running back class.

But the evaluation doesn't stop with the tape. James Palmer joins the show with exclusive intel from his conversations with Defensive Coordinators across the NFL. He reveals the specific "nightmare matchups" Henderson created for opposing coaches and why it took the league a few weeks to realize just how dangerous this kid really is.

Inside the MJD Takeover:

*The HOF Trait*: MJD explains why TreVeyon has the talent of a gold-jacket back. If he has the talent, why the slow start? MJD breaks down the acclimation process in the New England backfield.

*Insider Intel:* James Palmer shares what he’s hearing from the sidelines and around the league. Does what he's hearing align with MJD's bold claim?

The 5-Category Grading:

*Between the Tackles:* MJD analyzes his vision and ability to grind out the dirty yards.

*Explosive Plays:* A look at those home-run runs that defined the Patriots' November surge.

*Hands:* Is he a true dual-threat weapon for Drake Maye?

*Pass Protection:* MJD and James discuss why this trait is more difficult when playing under Josh McDaniels in New England.

*Potential Growth:* Where does he go from here?
