Chapter 1: Why did Travis Kelsey decide to return for another NFL season?
That's the least thing I'm worried about.
We can fix that.
Trust me. Been there. Fix those snap issues. Least of my concerns. No, I like just watching the way guys move, how they use their hands. I just feel like you watch guys play, and you can tell if you've watched enough guys play and enough teammates who has good core strength, who moves their feet well, who is always in balance. Balance is a big one for me with offense alignment.
When I see guys that are out of balance, I'm like, okay, he's going to get –
Torch. Torch, yeah. Backer's going to get up under that guy.
He's going to get off bounds, and then it's going to get like judo thrown. It's like, I think, and I've been there too. I just like watching the way guys move. That's why I do actually think watching the combine, I kind of always like watching, even though I didn't do it this year, because I do think that there is stuff to gain by watching how guys move. I really do.
I think that, you know, Jason Peters just retired, right? Yeah. 21 years, baby. Dude. And now he's working for the Seahawks. Come home, Jason. Come home to Philadelphia.
You got to get Jeff and- He's doing fine.
Stay in Seattle. You're doing all right. Wherever you're happy, JP. But he was never out of balance. I would watch that guy play. He would jump and he was just always anatomically in the right position to redirect. on top of being enormous and a freak athlete.

Chapter 2: What does Jason Kelsey think about the challenges of returning to the NFL?
It's one of those where it's like, yeah, I don't need a stopwatch on that.
We should probably throw him the ball. Some of those guys where you don't even need a time. You're like, him.
What's his 40? Don't know.
Yep.
But I know it's good enough.
Yeah, I've seen him run. I've seen him run. Like when you watch Jerry Rice run.
He was a 4'7 guy.
There's no way. A thousand percent. I find it so hard to believe that he's outrunning DBs in the NFL. Dude, I've looked it up. It's anywhere between a 4'4 and 4'7.
I've heard 4'7. There's no way.
