Tucker Franklin catches up with some Tigers at the East-West Shrine Bowl

Tucker Franklin sat down with Mizzou standouts, quarterback Brady Cook and wide receiver Theo Wease at this year’s East-West Shrine Bowl. With Cook, they discussed his Mizzou career, football background and the 2025 NFL Draft process. He had a very similar conversation with Wease, who could be one of the drafts most underrated wide receivers.
