Chapter 1: What are the highlights from Quinyon Mitchell's rookie season?
A little sore after that one. I didn't feel young after it. That's for sure.
How many points did you have?
Someone on Twitter said I had 25 points. Dude. Which, I mean, it didn't feel like I had 25 points. I want to know how many assists I had, though. You had a lot of assists. I feel like I had a lot of assists. Does Gilly like that? Gilly can play. Gilly can play? He got that little lefty jumper. But it was fun.
Who was on your team?
It was a bunch of people from Philly area and other places, I think. Zay was on my team.
Zay Rogers.
I was on Gilly's team. We did not end up winning, but it was a blast.
And then you had a celebrity softball game to go to, too. Yes. That you hosted.
And then I put on a celebrity softball game in Des Moines, Iowa, the great city of Des Moines, Iowa. Great state of Iowa for the... Children's Hospital in Iowa City, a place that means a lot to me, and the University of Iowa football program. That's who we do the wave to every time after the first quarter. So I decided to do a little softball game, had some guys come out from the Eagles.

Chapter 2: How did Quinyon Mitchell feel about the Super Bowl parade?
Chapter 3: What was Quinyon Mitchell's NFL Draft experience like?
Yeah, Reed, yeah. It was a pitcher, though, your brother.
Your, what, the middle one? Yeah, he can't pitch no more.
Yeah, I didn't have a good showing in the home run derby, in case you guys wanted to know.
You went first.
Yeah, I went first, and I hit zero home runs.
Sorry, you hit one out when it matters at the Philly Stadium.
You're right to do that. And then I got to, we were putting up a lot of runs in one inning, so they subbed out the slow pitch for a fast pitch. Real deal, fast pitch. She's a freshman in high school, I believe. Yeah. Number one recruit in the nation in her class. But, yeah, I was nowhere near touching that.

Chapter 4: Who are the toughest receivers Quinyon Mitchell has faced?
What is she throwing? What do you think she was throwing?
I don't know it was all I know is fast dude I was so scared I was scared too so scared luckily she was good she was very accurate strikes it was probably like what 60 something miles and 60 something miles an hour but they're closer than a baseball I think mound so it's it's got to be like the equivalent of like a 90 some mile an hour fastball from yeah I haven't seen anything like that since No.
Ever. First off, ever.
I swung when the ball was in the catcher's mitt already, and it was ugly. To be honest, I thought I was going to be able to get a hit off of her, but clearly not. That's different.
It's different.
It was a lot of fun, though. We had a blast. Now we're going to get into our quick hitters. We're going to start off with a little reaction video. Went to UPenn last week, during the week, and had some fun shooting basketball. Oh, this is the end. This is right before we're about to leave. Saquon, throw me a lob. Throwing it down.
I feel like I had a lot better dunks than this one throughout the day, but they weren't on.
I saw you do that one. They weren't on camera. Yeah, Siri and I was like, all right, let's go.
You don't need to do that no more. Yeah, and then we needed to leave. But that was fun, though.

Reid was there, AJ was there, Smitty was there, Slay, Isaiah Rogers was there, a bunch of guys from the Broncos. My boy Riley Moss was the other team captain. Dallas Clark was there. It was a good turnout. I think there was around 10,000 people.
That's what they said, 10,000.

Chapter 7: What impact did Quinyon's family have on his football career?
I mean, it'd be kind of sick, though.
No, I'm not going to be putting on a cover like that.
I bet the dude he hurtled would be down to do that, though. To be on there.
I don't know. We might have two different opinions on that.
It was also announced that he is a 99 overall.
He got a diamond chain for that, too, didn't he?
Prestigious club. Yeah. That's kind of sweet.
That's tough, bro. Got a nice little chain. They're just breaking records here and there.
Doing his own thing. That is awesome, though. And then we've got the finals coming up. You're a basketball guy, so you need to come in. Big basketball guy. Pacers versus Thunder. I want the Thunder to win. That was my prediction way back when. Oh, really? Who do you think is going to win the playoffs, though? I like the Thunder. I think they got Shea. Have you been watching the NBA?

Chapter 8: How does Quinyon Mitchell view the NIL landscape in college football?
Yeah, man. So I was getting recruited by like everybody, you know, and just growing up, like going through high school, kind of had like a great situation or whatever. And I just feel like they kind of just stuck me through the whole process. So like I had to sit out like six months after I graduated or whatever. And yeah, they just stuck with me the whole time.
So when it was time for me to go, that's why I chose Toledo.
How much different is Toledo from Williston, Florida? Is it a lot different or is it still like a small town vibe?
Nah, I'd say it's just colder, but they both kind of like laid back in their own kind of way for real. Yeah.
I've never been to Toledo. Is it like a smaller college town or? Or did you even, like, go out?
Yeah, so, like, my first two years, I didn't go out at all. You know, I just stayed in the dorms. But, you know, when I was, like, a junior, senior, you know, we would go out to, like, bars and, you know, stuff like that. I don't know what's in Toledo, honestly.
Me neither. I think I've driven through, actually. I know we played y'all in Bahamas Bowl. I know.
Yeah, I think it's like 45 minutes from Detroit. But yeah, we did.
Is it? Yeah. You guys played against each other? I don't think we played against each other. I think I think it was a year off. Or did we play against each other?
