During football season, ESPN presents every Monday night a fairly neutered version of Jon Gruden, the feisty, scowling, F-bomb-dropping former head coach of the Raiders and Buccaneers.
OK, completely neutered.
In the offseason, however we get a glimpse of the man known widely as Chucky, who breaks out his on-field persona when meeting with top draft prospects.
This year, he gets together with 10 of them, and the process begins Friday night at 7:00 p.m. ET, when Gruden’s session with Andrew Luck debuts.
On Monday night, Robert Griffin III gets the Gruden treatment at 9:00 p.m. ET.
A clip from the first show has been posted at the ESPN “Front Row” site.
