Drake London has emerged as one of the most dangerous receivers in the NFL as he teams with QB Michael Penix Jr. and the Atlanta Falcons. That team is hoping to reach the .500 mark when it takes on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8. While London has spent the majority of his week concentrating on ways to get the best of the Tampa Bay secondary, he also had time to talk about his loyalties to USC in college football.
London was a star for the Trojans before he was selected with the No. 8 pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. He was a guest on the Stephen A. Smith Show and predicted that the Trojans would get the best of the second-ranked Ohio State Buckeyes, he also took the time to fire a shot at arch-rival UCLA.
The Bruins are having one of the most surprising seasons of any college football team in recent memory. They rolled to their eighth victory of the season over Nevada, and the Bruins have a perfect 8-0 record. They have risen to the No. 7 spot in the college football rankings.
Smith asked London about UCLA's excellent season, and London dismissed them with a couple of sentences. “They know who the big brother is,” London said (1:35 mark above). “I don't have to say too much about that.”
Smith roared his approval after he heard the wide receiver's retort.
Whie USC has a huge assignment against Ohio State, the Trojans have already lost to Oregon and Wisconsin. Those losses don't appear to have given the Trojans much to brag about, but London did not lose any of his confidence.
