He worked with the team. 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.720 Do you know for the co coach? What you know 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.720 that that's two years? What planet you've been there? 0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.920 I did not know that. It's crazy though they let 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:46.360 him do the media stuff like that though, you know 0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.640 they let the media is like if the receiver coach, 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:49.440 he was just doing the. 0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:52.840 What wait, well, he was doing NFL Network before he 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:55.920 started coaching, so I guess him having that relationship then 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:57.520 you know, yeah. 0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.440 All right, well, let's learn something new every day and 0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.480 we are going to talkalk about the combine in more detail. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:04.120 But first let's talk about some news we got. The 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.440 release kind of sad news. The sad news is the 0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:10.440 release of Charles Leto and Logan Thomas right, and what 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.560 does that mean moving forward for the team? 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.960 You know, if you have to ask me, it's just 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.040 one of those things, you know, when you see new 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:22.080 regimes come in. One of the things that I remember 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.640 being here, and I was proud of myself by not 0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:28.280 being one of those guys because sometime you know, they 0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.000 won't veteran leadership, but they don't want to carry. 0:02:31.320 --> 0:02:33.280 Just guys, you know what I mean, Just guys. That's 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.720 that veterans. You don't get me wrong. I thought the 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.560 world of Logan, he was. I was a BIAT fan 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:39.520 of Logan body. 0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.959 I think when you look at what Lindo has did, 0:02:43.040 --> 0:02:45.240 he was he was valuable in the state of being 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.760 being there, you know, being available for us. But I 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:50.080 think we could do better at that position, so you know, 0:02:50.120 --> 0:02:51.679 it was probably time for him to go, you know 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.440 what I mean, especially with the money that he's probably 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:54.360 going to be making also. 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.119 But those guys serve their purpose while they was here. 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.200 It's just a new regime here trying to get better 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:01.560 at that position, both of those positions. And I guess 0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:03.280 it was time of seeing them guys, you know, go 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:03.799 go their way. 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:06.359 Thank these guys for their time. Like you said, Logan 0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.600 Virginia through and through. I think his body started to 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:13.639 fail him at the end, a lot of concussions, ainkle, knee, 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.280 and I think they just want to get younger everywhere. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.640 I think they want to get younger and stronger everywhere. 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.160 But you know, like we all know, when you go 0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.560 to the dentist, you got a dead tooth in there. 0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.520 To save the other forty, I'm gonna need to get 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:28.399 this one out of here. 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.360 So this what I think for the overall health of 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:34.280 this new regime in this team. 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.960 They had to remove a couple of people and they did. 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:38.720 And they also too when you look at the cap 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:40.440 man just gave us. 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.000 More wiggle room. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you save it 0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:42.720 about money, you. 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.520 Say about seventeen million dollars by cutting them and obviously 0:03:45.560 --> 0:03:47.520 Leonard's getting hip surgery in a couple of weeks and 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.600 you know, thirty three years old. When new regimes, like 0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.440 you said the Santa they come in, they want to 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.600 get a little bit younger. He had key spots. They 0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.360 also want to keep that leadership. And I think that 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.160 both these guys were, while excellent leaders were kind of 0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:00.920 near the tail end. You good time for them to 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:02.680 move on. And again, thank you for their service and 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.720 all that they've done for the organization, right you said 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.400 Virginia guys and and you know Leno great member of 0:04:07.400 --> 0:04:08.840 the community in terms of all the church. 0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:10.920 Off the field work is impeccable. 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:12.960 Yeah, so both those guys are like that. And you know, 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:15.200 it's obviously tough when guys have to leave and going, 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:16.000 but we all. 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.120 Being cut before.

So 0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:44.560 the first question is does this matter? 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:46.239 It matters nothing. 0:05:46.400 --> 0:05:46.440 No. 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:48.680 If I pay six billion, I don't go where I 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.839 want to, Like at the end of the day, where 0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:52.720 are y'all going. 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:53.320 I'm going to? 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.880 It comes wrong and I think our generation we're used 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:58.560 to it because they used to do it like that. 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:00.000 Yeah, talk about that little bit. 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:02.480 We've been in those rooms where you saw owner too 0:06:02.600 --> 0:06:04.839 here and there. I didn't see that from every team 0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.520 that I went and met with, but I remember, I 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.120 remember when I went to the Browns. I told you 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.719 I had to talk with coach Davis and their owner 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.120 was there, Yeah, and their GM and they wanted to 0:06:14.160 --> 0:06:16.200 hear something, and you know, probably know what they wanted 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:18.280 to hear. So I experienced it, but I don't think 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:19.760 it's a big deal. And then also you got to 0:06:19.800 --> 0:06:22.240 think about it this that first year, real, real, real 0:06:22.640 --> 0:06:24.560 season that you know, that first year trying to figure 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.080 out they want to see all this, you know. 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:28.000 See the process, and that's one of the things that 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.680 you know should raise a lot of people. Our brows 0:06:30.720 --> 0:06:33.640 of how dedicated this intendance is. 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.760 These guys are trying to kind of peek in at 0:06:36.880 --> 0:06:38.600 everything to see how things going. 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:39.480 And you got to think about it. 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.800 When you're trying to change the culture and be a 0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:44.200 part of something, do bring back what we had here, 0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.640 you know, you want to see those guys around trying 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.720 to implement their little two cents here and there. 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.720 So I'm glad he was there. I'm glad he got 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:51.360 the experience. 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:53.600 I'm pretty sure that, you know, going forward, he might 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:55.840 not partake it if he don't have to, but it's 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:57.200 probably a great experience for him. 0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.200 And it's good to see our guys, you know, really 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:02.279 want to be in a think of just active. That's 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:03.159 all I care about. 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:07.240 I love people that care about an investment, care about 0:07:07.279 --> 0:07:10.320 the team, and like he said, I want to sneak 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:14.120 peak of how's the cake made. I want to see 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.560 And then you're talking about let's be honest, we're talking 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:20.200 about a quarterback here. It's nobody more a politician of 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.480 the team than a quarterback. It's nobody that gonna spend 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:25.680 probably more time with an owner and the head coach 0:07:25.800 --> 0:07:28.160 than a quarterback. So yeah, I want to be in here, 0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:30.000 and I want to ask a question or two, like 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:32.240 how do you feel about DC? Is it a city 0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.120 you want to live in? Like I understand what he's 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.000 trying to do. I just don't understand why they try 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:38.080 to blow it up like it's something and. 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.080 Then also just to put this on it, which is 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:41.960 the obvious. You get a chance to see the guys 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:42.400 that you just. 0:07:42.480 --> 0:07:45.480 Hired, see them one hundred person. I'm so gladdy, I'm 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:47.400 you get to see these guys really do what they do. 0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:50.400 Like for me, it's like if you're not I don't 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.720 think from an understand he wasn't like asking questions. It's 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.680 just in they're observing, right. So it's like you said, 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.920 Tennis said, that's first time dan Quinn's in the room, 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:58.920 Adam Peters in the room. What's their process like, what 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.400 is the process like of a valuating players? And then 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.560 we talk about the important hires of the offseason. So 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:07.480 obviously GM head coach staff all really important. What's the 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:09.720 next what's the next big one quarterback? 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:10.480 Right? 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.160 So I want to make sure that I see this kid, 0:08:13.560 --> 0:08:15.040 you know, not that I'm going to be able to 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.640 give an opinion. I'm not watching film I'm not saying 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.000 who it is, right, I'm not doing that. I just 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.080 want to get a feel for this kid. And then 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.040 if I'm Dan, I was thinking about this too. If 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:26.440 I'm Dan, I want him in the room because he's 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:27.880 done a good job. I think over the course of 0:08:27.960 --> 0:08:31.760 his career of developing businesses and identifying leadership, and I'd 0:08:31.880 --> 0:08:33.600 like that perspective. Yay, what did you think of how 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:34.719 he talked? What did you think of how he was 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.160 in the room like he was twenty one years old? 0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:39.080 Like, see, you just brought something up the conversation afterwards, 0:08:39.520 --> 0:08:41.520 Like everybody want to talk about the fact that he's here. 0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.760 But how important was the conversation when the kid leaves 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.199 the room, right, Like now we get to confer, Like 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:49.319 what you think about him? I thought he was a 0:08:49.320 --> 0:08:51.080 great kid. I thought he had great energy. I think 0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:53.720 he loves them. Well, well, how does he play? Does 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:55.280 he feed into what we want to do? Yeah, he 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:57.400 got a strung up, Like I understand why he won't 0:08:57.400 --> 0:08:58.160 stay ask those question? 0:08:58.240 --> 0:08:59.800 Yeah, And so like people say, oh, like owners right there, 0:08:59.800 --> 0:09:02.560 Likery Jones is there? Like there's owners that come by, right. 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.040 I think that nobody's shocked when Gery show. 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:07.240 But I think the issue for me is that, like 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:09.679 if I think, I think people have a little shell 0:09:09.760 --> 0:09:13.000 shock from when Snyder was here, right, yep, that cider 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.600 was like impacting draft decisions. From what I understand from 0:09:16.640 --> 0:09:19.160 people that are familiar with the situation, that is not 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.600 his intent being in the room, right, That's not his intent. 0:09:22.920 --> 0:09:25.240 He wants to just learn about the process. And I 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:26.920 you know, if I'm Dan, I feel good about that 0:09:26.920 --> 0:09:29.880 because he's smart dude, right, Dan Quinn. Just to be clear, 0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:31.719 there's multiple dance in that story. Yeah, all right. So 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:35.360 the next thought is JJ McCarthy, right, Colum, command to Queen. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:39.680 He's moving up, Commander Quinn. JJ McCarthy is rocketing up 0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:42.120 draft boards. What do you guys think about him? If 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:43.400 you had to give an evaluation, give me, give me 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:44.079 your Scotch. I've Reid. 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:45.600 I know you watch a lot of films. I've been 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.360 watching him and this is what I like about him. 0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:51.679 They didn't ask him to do a lot lot, but 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.800 what they asked him to do, he did it to 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.240 the t. I when it was time to make those 0:09:56.280 --> 0:09:58.559 big times throws in a game, he made those big 0:09:58.679 --> 0:10:02.280 time throws when trying to rush and break the pocket 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:03.720 for three year us to get a first down. 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.680 He could do that. He's a certified winner. He don't 0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:08.720 have the numbers like. 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:12.199 The other guys, but he's the type guy that you 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.959 put him on a ready made team. No doubt he 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.600 a step put like this. The good parts of him 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:21.880 outweigh his flaws. So if I'm looking at him through 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:24.800 a lens and I'm comparing him to these other guys. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:27.760 He played here, a national championship winner. 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:29.320 Where do you rank him compared to the other guys. 0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:33.520 Sorry, no, I think the other guys might be better 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:35.280 at the least, but I think he showed it to 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.600 come by. He got a very strong arm, He's intelligent. 0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:40.800 I think he can make every throw on the field. 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.120 I think JJ could be one of those guys that 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.120 outshine some of those top three guys. 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:48.040 Like I think he has that ability. But like everything 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:51.520 in this sport, it's about who you go to, Like 0:10:51.720 --> 0:10:52.520 it's about who. 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:52.760 You go to. 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:57.800 Because I see him prospering in Denver, maybe I can 0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.760 see him in the right spots. I can see him 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.920 going to Atlanta where they gonna run the ball a 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:04.360 little bit more than everybody else and even having them 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:05.640 big old targets to throw to. 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.360 I think he's good. I just don't know where to 0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:10.600 stack him with the top three. 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.760 Yeah, And I think one of the things that stands 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.719 out about him, and probably what a lot of the 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.160 coaches probably had their eye on, is just you know, 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:18.720 we talked so highly on. 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:21.360 The individual talent. 0:11:21.679 --> 0:11:24.360 You know, Okay, who's the Heisman Trophy winner that year, 0:11:24.760 --> 0:11:27.160 who played better than everybody that year? But then you 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.400 think about the leadership at that position. This guy won 0:11:30.440 --> 0:11:31.439 the national championship. 0:11:31.640 --> 0:11:33.040 Okay, that takes a lot. 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.440 With a pro coach and the pro scheme with Harborough, 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.240 with a pro coach, pro scheme, you let this team 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:40.719 in situations where we didn't think y'all was going to 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:42.200 win the game, which y'all found a way to win 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:44.040 the game, and half of was led by you. 0:11:44.320 --> 0:11:45.679 A lot of the time it was you, you know 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:46.000 what I mean. 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.560 So now you get him in the combine and you say, okay, 0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:50.920 let's now we could get a chance to gauge and 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.160 judge this guy off of the guys around him. How 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.199 does he stands out around these other guys. And that's 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:57.080 why you're hearing the talk because Okay, not only did 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.319 he did that throughout the season. Now he comes in 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.040 here and do every thing we wanted to do, do 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:01.719 it the right way. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:03.120 You don't have to. You know a lot of these 0:12:03.160 --> 0:12:05.079 other guys opt out say hey we I see my 0:12:05.120 --> 0:12:06.719 pro date. Yeah he did it here. He did it 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:08.000 under the immense pressure. 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.160 A lot of people don't want to be on the 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.880 So I think when you get a guy, just want 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.439 the national championship with a school that had been you know, 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:17.319 and that has been talked about for so many years, 0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:20.079 getting back to Dominance. To do that and to have 0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:23.439 a coach in Harbrough who's now left a lot of 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.640 people going to be wondering, Okay, where did this guy 0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:27.079 stand at? And then you come out there and you 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.240 you measure out well, you go out there and test well, 0:12:30.720 --> 0:12:32.360 oh yeah, Now we're gonna be talking about this guy 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:32.680 because he. 0:12:32.679 --> 0:12:34.080 Can be one of those guys. You know, every year 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:35.280 somebody up in there. 0:12:35.559 --> 0:12:38.240 Every year he's the hand that rocks the cradle. Every 0:12:38.320 --> 0:12:40.520 year we have a draft pick that shoots up after 0:12:40.559 --> 0:12:42.720 it come by, sneaks up and becomes the hand that. 0:12:42.880 --> 0:12:43.640 Rocks the cradle. 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:48.280 Like he his ascension, it's gonna push some good players 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:49.480 out of the first round. 0:12:49.880 --> 0:12:50.480 Think about it. 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:53.160 You saw se office of line that could go first round. 0:12:53.760 --> 0:12:56.960 You saw five pass rushers that could probably go first round. 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:01.480 You literally everybody talking now like he's six quarterbacks, they 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:02.480 could go first round. 0:13:02.760 --> 0:13:05.840 So good talent is gonna get pushed to the second round. 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:08.839 And also, I think when it comes to him, he 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:13.400 doesn't make in game mistakes like I see him play 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:14.720 clean games, and. 0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:15.960 That's what I like about him. 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:17.480 Where would you feel comfortable taking him? 0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:22.080 I would feel taken if quarterback is the most important position. 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:24.760 I would feel good taking him in the top ten 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.920 because his position of worth says he's worth there. 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:31.319 Yeah, you got a thought on that. 0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:34.720 I never know because this stuff varies. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.880 But I'm just saying because I'm a guy that's big 0:13:36.960 --> 0:13:39.679 on knicks, and I understand his you know what I mean? 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:41.719 You know, you know what I mean. I understand what 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:43.720 everybody looks at him being older. You know what I mean? 0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:45.880 I like quarterbacks, played a lot of football me too, 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:47.079 and I understand that. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.559 But I'm like, hey, wow, I mean we talk about 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:53.520 the guy come out with us or Winky Chris Chris 0:13:53.600 --> 0:13:55.760 Winky being an older guy and then not paying it 0:13:55.800 --> 0:13:57.599 out for him but I'm just I just feel like 0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.840 you some of that stuff that you see on the field. 0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:01.240 Trump's all that. 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:03.040 If a guy can go out here and measure up 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:04.959 against some of these other guys where they're. 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.960 Young or not, he's season. You know what I mean. 0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:08.760 You might you might come. You might be on the 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.000 team that needs you right now. Or the other kid 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.160 out there in Washington who had the two knee injuries 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:14.800 to me, who. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.160 Can easily sneak up there too. 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:17.960 So I say, you know, when you ask me that question, 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:20.440 I see three other guys, two other guys. You can 0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:23.000 mention with him that that somebody might just say, hey, 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:24.760 I want him because I feel like he can come 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:25.880 in and make us better right now. 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.600 So I think easy first round. I just can't tell 0:14:28.600 --> 0:14:28.920 you where. 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.560 Yeah, And so I think the thing for me is 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.920 like obviously like not a lot of throws, like Fred said, 0:14:33.400 --> 0:14:35.120 and they ran the ball a ton at Michigan. But 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.120 I think the thing when you watch when I watched 0:14:37.160 --> 0:14:41.080 him in person, like his arm is electric. Yeah, Like 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:43.240 obviously Joe Milton has a bigger arm and like that 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:45.680 you can throw it a mile, but like the ability 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.520 for him to just like layer throws make like literally 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:50.160 touch anywhere on the field, Like that was a thing. 0:14:50.240 --> 0:14:52.080 Like when you watch like Bonnicks has a good arm, Yeah, 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:55.920 but JJ's arm it's better, right JD. You talk about 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.000 JJ not being an athlete, but like they run quarterback 0:14:58.080 --> 0:15:01.920 power with him. They ran him a lot of he's physical, 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.520 like he's smart. He went to IMG Academy, which is 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:07.680 essentially college football and high school and so like, dude, 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:09.640 dude is pretty polished up. And then the other thing 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.400 that stuck out to me when I watched them, and again, 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:14.280 you watch the TCU game from last year twenty twenty 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.120 two where they got eliminated from the playoffs, is he 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.160 makes throws over the middle of the field at a 0:15:19.320 --> 0:15:21.479 very high level. And when you look at the differentiating 0:15:21.560 --> 0:15:24.840 factors between an NFL quarterback and a college quarterback, yeah, 0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:28.640 they make throws of the middlefield NFL guys. Yeah, So 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.400
