Yeah, that's what it is. That's what it is. Yeah. Joining me now is intern Brandon. Hey. Hey. We've only got two games this weekend. It's almost done. Yeah, baby. Oh, my God. All right. Jason, I'm going to build us a single-game parlay. Okay. Hit me. We're going to build a little single-game parlay here, looking at just the Eagles and Commanders. Got it. I got six picks.

Flipping the Playoff Switch, Fixing the CFP, Why We Love Snow Games & Hobby Horsing Around | Ep 121
Let's whittle it down to three. What do you like better, Saquon Barkley – Over 100 rushing yards or Jaden Daniels two passing touchdowns?
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Flipping the Playoff Switch, Fixing the CFP, Why We Love Snow Games & Hobby Horsing Around | Ep 121
You're the expert. You inform me. I'm torn. I don't know.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Flipping the Playoff Switch, Fixing the CFP, Why We Love Snow Games & Hobby Horsing Around | Ep 121
Okay. All right. Jaden Daniels out of here. All right. Do we like Jalen Carter over one sack or Jaden Daniels over one interception? I have a favorite, but I want to hear the expert.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Flipping the Playoff Switch, Fixing the CFP, Why We Love Snow Games & Hobby Horsing Around | Ep 121
All right, last pairing here. Saquon Barkley, anytime TD scorer, or Jalen Hurts, anytime TD scorer? Is he going to house one, or are we tush pushing?
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Flipping the Playoff Switch, Fixing the CFP, Why We Love Snow Games & Hobby Horsing Around | Ep 121
There we go. That leaves us with Saquon over 100 yards, Jalen Carter over one sack, and Jalen Hurts, anytime TD scorer. That is our single game parlay. That means your odds on that single game parlay are plus 360. $10 pays you $46. Jason, take us home.

Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
And I felt like this was a good, good opportunity for me to add some more value to my kids and something that they can look back on and be like, man, you did that. And so that was cool. It's awesome. But for the most part, man, I think this was near and dear to my heart with the kids. And I wanted my kids to see something other than just football, other than dad doing something cool.

You know what? It's going to get better as you get kids, man. You're going to want to just give them everything that you got. And I know for you, man, it's going to be cool. But make sure you're ready when you're ready because it's going to slow you down a little bit.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
In a good way, in a great way.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Well, we was at the lowest, I felt, in a while that we've been, especially coming off a season. After we lost to y'all, that was tough. That was tough when we lost to Arizona. But coming off that year, it was a lot of excitement coming back because we had a lot of guys from that team. But the lesson for me was when you got to replace coaches, that was pretty tough because we had Desai come in.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Then we got some other people that came in. And everybody, I feel, when you have a certain amount of time, as you know, to get everybody on the same page and to be able to, as a D coordinator, come in, teach his scheme, and you have to be able to pass the message from coach to player, and the player's got to be able to receive it.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
It's just the timing of everything really didn't fit with the type of team we had and the expectations that was coming. But I felt like... That was the lowest of lows last year when we lost, and then Kelce retired.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
It opened up some doors, didn't it? It opened up some doors. Oh, man. But, yeah, it was a lot of expectations from this year just not repeating, you know, from last year. And so when Vic came, I think Vic was able to hire other coaches that he had that he already was familiar with. So that worked out perfect because the DB coach, he came in, man, he already knew Vic already.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
D-line coach, Coach Clint, knew Vic. I mean, Watts is a great coach already with us. So we've been together for a while. So we already knew how to work with him. And then, yeah, man, it's about how you how you working together and how you relate a message and how you teaching it. And I think Vic was real tough early on. And man, he was tough as far as coaching.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
That was the lowest of lows last year when we lost, and then Kels retired. And everything got better.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
He was like source to me, which I like is I'm not your friend. I'm here to do my job. I'm here to do my job. And then if we build to that, eventually you break a man, you know? And so I felt like we was going to break a man one of these days. And man, when he came in saying some of the lingo that some of the guys say, oh man, you knew, you knew, you knew it.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Cause we was rubbing off on him in a good way. Cause he was so tough, man, early on. And he just thought we suck. Yeah. He's just like, man, you guys last year, y'all don't work hard enough. And he said that openly. But I think as we gained his trust and his respect as just going through everyday life with him. And by the end of the year, our goal was to get him a big smile.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
And that was when he held that trophy, man. And I got that picture on my phone where he got holding it up and smiling.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Man, when you see him hitting the hole and just know, like, he ran to the zone every time. Like, every time in practice, he always run to the zone. Run to the zone? The end zone. I'm sorry. He ran to the end zone. Oh, gotcha. He finishes everything. Yeah, he finishes. He finished everything. And they always got somebody in for him.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
He wore people down. I mean, like I got to give Stout his credit always, man, because it started with him. He's the technician as far as keep staying on the offensive line, making sure that, as Kelsey know, that you guys are working the technique right over and over and over. You can't get bored with the details. And so you see Stout all the time, just always on, always thinking next level.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
And, man, it just worked out so much for him this year. especially Adam Saquon. He was the ace in the hole for us that we've been needing, you know, just because, man, getting him, you need a home run hitter like that. And that boy was wearing people out. Like, you might have got him in the first half, and if you did get him that second half, he ready for the big one.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
And I can remember the Saints game when he hit that home run going up the middle. Well, you know, it's almost like the same play, that counter play. Boy, whoo, them boys. I wouldn't want to see none of them boys coming my way like a Jordan Malata on a pool.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Oh, my goodness. Oh, that left side. And Lane already a brick wall, man. Lane hold down that right side. And when we really – like I think Sting going to be a really good one this year. We have Makai – But I think Steen is a good one, and we'll probably draft one too. But, man, we got a really good line.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Cam held up all the way through, and I don't see why we couldn't do it again other than just staying healthy.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Yeah.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Nah, nah, ain't no apologies, man. That's how I felt at the time. Two six. Hey, that's why I don't ever go too personal because, man, I don't want nobody looking for me afterwards. But at that same time, like, man, I'm just trying to get in your head, trying to have a little fun while backing it up. You know it. But, Kels, just know, man, you was big. You was a part of that too, man.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
As much as, yeah, you retired, but everybody always was looking for you when you came in. And I think we added a lot of value on just being in that building, man, because that culture is what we did every day. All these boys do is work. And they work, and they put the work in, and I think we built to that, man. Now it's just more about for us just showing that love, having that access to come in.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
I don't want the hours of the coaches, but I want to be able to add value to the organization and keep it going.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
It was different. You know, I would see Kels, so it made it a lot better. But Fletch really didn't come around as much. And I think, I don't know if he was just not wanting to be around because he'd be hunting. You know, I know he loving what he doing.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
He was doing his own thing. I mean, he was just doing his own thing. And so it was different because that's somebody who had his locker right next to me the whole time all the way until, you know, he was done. So seeing someone else and Mojo, Moro, or Jamo is a guy that I really respect, man. I think he's going to be a guy this year that's going to have a big year too. Again, because –
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
It's a lot of guys on that bench already that I feel is going to add value to the team this year, especially with Milk going. Then we got to replace Sweaty. But yeah, Fletch was a guy that, man, I was like, dang.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Big Fletch.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
But Fletch was the main one. Fletch was the main one. I got to give Fletch his credit. And he's right.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
How are the trainers up here? What? Like, you know. Oh, I'm telling you, man. I used to not walk up. I used to always get out the back because I never wanted to go to the front because it'd be like, man, all these coaches eating all these M&Ms and stuff like they did. Yeah. You know, man.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
But for real, Chip Kelly, one thing I can say, the one thing Chip Kelly had right, that boy got us in the front, boy. He was like, we are coaches. They the players. And it was like, yeah. Everything else was like, all right, coach.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
I love that, man. You right. Cause I am going, cause that's my biggest question. Like, man, who going to step up in a big way this year? I mean, I know Nolan, I already be talking with him. We always, you know, converse.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Cause I mean, we both rehabbing our tricep and, you know, seeing him, I know that I'm like, man, it went from my, not even my room because I felt I want a sweaty to feel not depressed. I want him to be able to voice his opinion, be out there, man. It's your room, man. Like, I'm just here. Yeah, I'm the vet, but if you need me, I'm here. But we listening to you.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce

New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
But to see him, even though I didn't grow up on lacrosse, seeing how it's played, the rules and stuff like that, it's kind of cool to see him do his thing. And then, of course, flag football is one that he liked because he's been around football.

You could tell exactly what kind of stuff they're into. Talk with them. Like, you know what I'm saying? Oh, my gosh. Who cares?
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
So I started doing that later on in my career. Sure. When social media, you know, just became more accessible, like how it is now where you can really just look on somebody page. You can kind of tell anything, anything. And so I started doing that more, but I didn't go like personal.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Some stuff was just, I didn't want, like I told you, I didn't want nobody coming looking for me after the game, but yeah,
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133

New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Because I knew that he was a guy that they had in his contract where if he made sure he stayed under a weight, he can get an incentive on that. So when I found that out, oh, man, I started messing around.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Stuff like that. You know what I'm saying?

New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133

I'm just trying to keep that routine because you're right. I know Fletch can't wait. Fletch over there. Fletch the ringleader of it. Like, yeah. Exactly. BG going to be this. I'll bet you.

I need an accountability partner. So she the one. She the one. She kind of reminds me of Vic Fangio a little bit. You know, she got a little bit of that Vic Fangio style to her. No nonsense. I make sure I really want to make change if I tell her. If I tell her, because I don't want her on me, man, saying, hey, you said you was going to do this. Why are you over there doing that?
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce

DB got him. DB got him when he played. It was the year 2018. Last play, DB ended up getting him of the game. But no, I didn't get him. I didn't get him. Lamar Jackson. Yep, sacked him. I chased him down to the sideline. Sacked him. Chased him down. I chased him down, and then he ran out of bonds. He ran out of bonds. So, you know, it was behind the lines. So it was like, yes, yes.

Let me go through this list real quick. Who did I didn't touch that I wanted to? I mean, of course, it would have been cool to get a picture with Vic, you know, sacking him. But I got practice of pictures and stuff like that. But it's so different, you know, when you're in action. So Vic would have been one if he would have still been in Atlanta. uh, playing down there.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
But, um, I will, you know, just to say I had to got a sack on Vic and then, um, I got one on deck. I love, I love getting sacks on, on the Cowboys quarterbacks, especially at they place. At they place, it ain't nothing like getting a win in Jerry's world, boy, because Jerry has said one time that, yeah, y'all drafted him high. He said something, and I had it in my locker.

Dang, I'm going to get the words if I can find that article, and it just talked about me going high. I would have had him near if it was my pick or whatever. And so I was like, okay. And so I always saw always me being with the Eagles. And yeah, I noted that. And that's why I kind of started building that that not even I wouldn't say hatred, but, you know, that that rivalry with the Cowboys.

You know, I did love the traditions and I love the saying of those who stay will be champions. And it's like you start here in the back. We are the rookies. We're freshmen start in the back. And if you make it down to the front, you know, you usually by time you got there, you usually be a champion. And I didn't get that. Like, but I love that. I didn't get that. I didn't get that.

But I made it all four years. But, you know, I had Rich Rod for two years and I had Coach Carr, Coach Lloyd Carr for two years. Yes. My first two were him and then Rich Rod came in. But my only two that I really felt like I could have got there as a champion was Coach Carr because my first year we was number two, Ohio State number one. And I think, yeah, we lost to them.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Then we went to the Rose Bowl, lost to John David Booty. That was the quarterback.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
And we ended up losing both last two games, the one in the championship to get us a ring. And then we lost in the Rose Bowl. But that was a good experience my first year. Then the second year, we went 10-2. We didn't have a chance because they got the playoffs now, but we would have been in the playoffs that year.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
And that would have been cool to kind of go through this type of style that they had now. But those was the only chance that I had. But those who stay will be champions. That tradition that Michigan brought just from some of the guys that's been there. My dad was a big Michigan fan. So we used to go every weekend, every Saturday he'd cut my hair and then we'd watch the game.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Then I'd go back home to my mom, stuff like that. So when they came calling, it was a no-brainer. After my junior year, I committed right away and was just happy to have that.

Well, let me tell you this. If they can take the hit, which I think they can't, you know, fumble. I mean, they can get one. They can get one. But you got to – hey, you have a dang old Fred Warner come get you and take your head off. Then it's like, oh, okay, you're going to rethink it. Yeah, you can get a yard. But can you hold on to that ball when you get hit? Right.

Teron Smith, man. That was a guy that even at this level, it was like, man. What I didn't like sometimes is he liked to swipe your hand down, like, you know, that swipe down when you bull. Because I like to bull rush and catch him with the bull. And he used to swipe my hands down. I would fall to the ground. I used to call him all kind of names. Like, man, that's soft. That's soft.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
You out here, you know, but he was a guy that I respect, man, because he always switched it up when I did get two and a half, two against him one game. It was so cool because, man, he was tearing me up in the beginning of his prime a little bit. And I'm just giving him some credit because we had some battles.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
But for the most part, that was a guy that I always was like, oh, man, you know, I got to get ready. You know, you got to get ready. Yeah. Got to get ready.

Let me tell you, I know this one was coming, boy. That boy, what's his name? Daniels, D-Tackle, that was at the Packers. What's his name? Why can't I think of his first name?
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
You know what I'm talking about, but we was on – remember what I was telling you on kickoff? I became the creator name. I created a name for myself, and we was playing the Packers, and that year it was – Yeah, Mike Daniels. Mike Daniels. Oh, Mike D. Yeah. Yeah, Mike Daniels. He was on the wedge, and so –
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
Never know. We kicked the ball off, and Mike Daniels, they told him he's going to be the guy that's blocking me or whatever, but I didn't care because I didn't think nothing of it. I'm running down. We kicked it left, and they have a return right. So as I'm running right, he already went right, but he's sizing me up, and this one cracked back. This one cracked back was still going.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
The ambush. The ambush. Boy, I turn. I'm looking at the back as I'm going this way. All I remember is just looking up because that boy that hit me that hard where I'm my feet in the air. I'm going to get that clip. I'm going to get that clip, boy, because I got to find this clip. We got to get that.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
clip, man, because on kickoff return, it was back in 2013, 2014, one of them years where Chip Kelly, where I was playing special teams and we was playing the Packers. This one had Eddie Lacy, too, because he was another one, man, that gave me a headache when I used to hit him when he was good. During that time when that boy was moving.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
But, man, Mike Daniels gave me that welcome to the NFL moment where it was like, yeah, that boy right there. The next kickoff, I was down there looking like, where he at? Exactly. Put your head on a swivel. On a swivel this time. That was the first time I turned down a hit where I was like, man, I don't want to get hit like that no more. So that was that moment.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
should blindside blocks be illegal or should you still be allowed to do those i can't i can't like for me i would always love it because that used to be my game too i used to get catch some people in college i mean high school college you know it's a great one when when when somebody ran their mouth and you catch them oh man sit your little butt down
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
But now that we can't do it and then somebody try to catch you like that, I try to talk stuff about them. But for the most part, that was what I did too. So I would have to say I would love for it to be back in the game because it brought like one of them highlights for real.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce

Mm-hmm.
New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
That's the whole point of the league. It's like, man, when you're out there on that field, you better keep your head on a swivel because people are out there gunning while the play is going. You got to keep your head on a swivel. Exactly. Yeah, man, I would love for it to be back, but we're in this player safety league right now, so, hey, we got to do it. We got to do it. It's evolving.

Oh, okay. First one. Because of that play against Brady, man, like I told you, it changed my life. It changed my whole – You signed that picture a bunch of it, huh? Ooh, man.

New Heights with Jason & Travis Kelce
Brandon Graham on Retirement, Rookie Jason Stories, Art of Trash Talking & The Brady Sack | EP 133
But because it's like, man, that picture right there. Man, it's nothing like it. It changed my life. And then on top of that, got my first one. That was my first championship that I was ever in at any level where, you know, I got a ring afterwards.

And I was going really this year would have been the real last year for sure. If he would have kind of granted that, but he was like, man, it's such a storybook ending.

And when I walked in, I was like, I'm going to put it in his hands. If we don't come to a conclusion that we can do it again, I ain't even going to fight it.

Cause man, I had this chip on my shoulder for so long on like, just people like what you said, man, like I'm a bus and all that stuff.

Well, stripping that ball on Brady, man, that helped me out a lot. Because I didn't like in Philly at first, man. I'm telling you. Like, Philly fans was so tough, man, and it just wasn't. It just... It just wasn't everything I wanted it to be. But like you say, coming from Detroit, being a fighter, not knowing that, hey, this your first real adversity is like, how are you going to fight back?

And so I think for me, having like guys like Trent and having guys like JP in my head, like, hey, man, like if Chip Kelly wants you to play special teams, go play special teams. Be the best at it, man. Like no sense of crying about it because I used to be like, man, I ain't never played special teams when Coach Reed was here. And now I got to do this, play all four. And it was an opportunity.

And so I even still use that story today for the guys because, man, once I really had my mindset of, man, I'm going to do it, it turned into something that I didn't even know that it would turn into where I'm on kickoff. And them boys putting two or three on me because I'm running through the wedge. And whoever was the one that I ran through, they needed two people. Yes, sir.

So it became that like, you know, and man, it was all mindset with that. And then I think it took took my career to another level because I had some adversity that I went through. I conquered that by my attitude. And then look, look what happened, man. Now they at their games like BG, man. Our special teams coach was like, man, you need to block.

We need to go ahead to block 55 on kickoff because he coming down and running through. You know, you better get you better get your chin strap buckled up. You know what I'm saying? Put your mouthpiece in.

They didn't let us – I did one in Michigan, in Detroit, my only one I did before I actually did that one last week. And, man, no, they didn't let us go in the dugout and throw. We just had to – and I had the trophy in my hand, and I had to throw it. So it made it even like, man, we want somebody – we want to get the pick for the trophy, and BG, you got to hold it.

Because Saquon was like, no, I ain't holding it. I'm going to let you hold it. Because he was more worried about getting the ball over the plate. So I was like, all right. But, no, I just kept it high. Just kept it high. There you go.

I think it's kind of I don't want to say soft, but it is because, man, ain't no way. It ain't no way. Ain't no way. I will show my hand to say, man, they need to stop this because we can't stop it. It's like, no, because if everybody could do it, as we know, you got to have the personnel for it first. Then you got to work the technique in practice.

And like we do, we just got a good thing that we got going. And it's like, stop it, man. Ain't nobody got hurt on it. If anything, you know, you come out from under the huddle like, oh, man, I got to get ready for the next one. But that's football, though. That's what we do. I mean, it's big grown men up front that you got to push. And if I'm not strong enough, it won't happen.

But we got a strong old line. And I'm sorry, it's a little soft in my opinion, but it got to get voted. And I hate that we're here, you know, on something that we created, but people don't like because they don't want to see it because they can't stop it.

Some that came up and my wife was like, man, she was all for it. Like, yeah, you know, this would be sweet. Something that you can do. I read to the kids every night anyway. And so I thought this would be just something that that just would add more value to the season that we had on top of the person I am that my kids see me, you know, every day.
