And it's a lot going on. So I haven't had a chance to reflect yet or anything like that. But no, it's exactly what I wanted.

I hate all those terms, actually. I agree. I want to be a damn good footballer. I want to be remembered as Andy Reid-esque or Belichick-esque. That's what I aspire to be.

I think it's been every step along the way, that's when you start looking at the next step. And so when Dan Campbell promoted me to tight ends coach, there was a point I was like, man, I love this job. I could do this for the next 20 years. This is great. But then eventually you're like, well, I would love to call plays too at some point. And so, well, you get the opportunity to do that.

The intent was to be around some really good people. And I love the game.
