In all his years as the OU football coach, Bob Stoops never experienced an NFL Draft. He reserved that experience for the players’ family. But last weekend gave him a taste of the family draft experience. On this episode of Conversations with Coach, Stoops and Sellout Crowd’s Jenni Carlson talk about that change of perspective, from the head coach of a draft prospect to the father of one.

Episode highlights:
1:24: What the NFL Draft was like for Bob as the father of former OU receiver Drake Stoops.
3:18: How Drake could fit as an undrafted free agent with the Los Angeles Rams.
4:14: How he approached draft day as the Sooners coach.
5:05: His memories of the 2010 NFL Draft, when Sooners Sam Bradford, Gerald McCoy and Trent Williams were drafted first, third and fourth.
6:51: Why he never made it to the NFL Draft green room.
7:22: His response any time an NFL coach or scout called about one of his players.
9:30 What happened when he saw a cellphone call from Foxboro.
10:22 The story of his draft advice to Jammal Brown and Mark Clayton.
