Speaker 1: It brought you take us through when you went down
Speaker 1: and your level of concern and yeah, I mean I'd
Speaker 1: never had one before, so you know, when I got hit,
Speaker 1: you know, I probably could have you know, popped up
Speaker 1: with someone you know, to grab my arm and pulled
Speaker 1: me up. But I was all right, yeah, this is
Speaker 1: my first time having it. Just based off of what
Speaker 1: my teammates and guys that I've played with, what they
Speaker 1: how they explained the stinger. I was, that's definitely how
Speaker 1: I'm feeling. You know, it was on my left side,
Speaker 1: So just laid there for a sec sort of let it,
Speaker 1: you know, calm down and stuff, and then I was
Speaker 1: able to get up, go to the tent and then
Speaker 1: you know, from there I got better. Literally as time
Speaker 1: went on, it just started going away. And that's why
Speaker 1: I was able to get back in their mid drive.
Speaker 1: Uh yeah I did, but you know, at that point,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just more concerned about my body and stuff.
Speaker 1: So that's cool. Seeing we're hearing the support from everybody,
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool stuff. But remember when it comes
Speaker 1: to pay through, appreciate. Yeah, you know, I'm the guy
Speaker 1: hands on the ball off and then I turn back
Speaker 1: and and watch you know sort of what he does,
Speaker 1: bouncing off guys, making cuts, twisting off guys, and the
Speaker 1: guy all these guys holding on to him. So I
Speaker 1: just see, you know, the beating that he takes and
Speaker 1: just his grit to continue to drive his legs and
Speaker 1: get extra yards and inches like, and then goes off
Speaker 1: to the sideline and he's immediately you know, using their
Speaker 1: guns and moving his body just non stop moving and
Speaker 1: so but we all respect it, man, like he's the
Speaker 1: guy who does it all. And then he put him
Speaker 1: out in the slot and throw him the ball and
Speaker 1: he just does everything. He's smart, and so you know,
Speaker 1: like I've said it before, man, we definitely you know,
Speaker 1: look up to him and his toughness and he sets
Speaker 1: the standard and we follow his lead. Yeah yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know when he does it still sort of blows
Speaker 1: my mind. But at the same time, I'm like, that's Christian.
Speaker 1: You know, He's done that time and time again, and
Speaker 1: you know, to see him continue to do that and
Speaker 1: then get back in the huddle and then go run
Speaker 1: a route and catch the ball and have an explosive
Speaker 1: it's like, dude, this is crazy. So definitely thankful and
Speaker 1: blessed to be playing with him obvious. The next one
Speaker 1: to Mcaniffrey the people, and he was also very wide open.
Speaker 1: Is that one where you are trying to miss him?
Speaker 1: Like do you have to? Yeah? Yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: was you know, it's sort of just like a off
Speaker 1: schedule play, a bounce out of the pocket, and then
Speaker 1: I see him go down the field and at that point,
Speaker 1: at that point, I didn't know is he gonna, you know,
Speaker 1: continue to run straight? Is he turning to me? And
Speaker 1: so I just sort of put it up in the air,
Speaker 1: and man, he did a good job tracking it down,
Speaker 1: catching it and then getting up and scoring. So uh,
Speaker 1: sort of a tough you know moment right then and
Speaker 1: there what to do with where the ball should be,
Speaker 1: but we got it done. He just gave a great
Speaker 1: description of a Christian and what he means to the team.
Speaker 1: What's your dude, I think I think Christian should be
Speaker 1: m v P. I think I really do believe that,
Speaker 1: you know, he does everything for us, runs the ball, well,
Speaker 1: can catch the ball, He does everything, and so in
Speaker 1: my eyes, that's an m v P. I mean, I'm honored,
Speaker 1: But man, I think you know, I have a great team.
Speaker 1: You know, a great team around me and guys willing
Speaker 1: to make plays and stuff. So I'm trying to do
Speaker 1: my part and help help our team win. And I'm
Speaker 1: very honored to hear it. But I think we just
Speaker 1: have an m v P team overall, so coming yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's definitely a special game for me, obviously
Speaker 1: coming home and stuff. You know, I came back here
Speaker 1: for the Fest of Baal, but that was in COVID,
Speaker 1: you know, so there wasn't that many people watching, just
Speaker 1: family and friends. But now to come back and have
Speaker 1: a whole stadium and and it felt like a game
Speaker 1: that you know, in high school, I'd come and watched
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and felt like that now I'm playing on
Speaker 1: the on that field. It was so cool. So definitely
Speaker 1: something I'll look back on in life and be very
Speaker 1: thankful for. I don't even know the number. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: only got tickets just for my family, just because there's
Speaker 1: so many people in my life, you know, hit me
Speaker 1: up for all that stuff. It was crazy. So I
Speaker 1: just suck with my family. But I know a lot
Speaker 1: of people in my life that came, and I'm very
Speaker 1: thankful for them in their sport. Yeah, I haven't talked
Speaker 1: to him, yet so but uh, I mean they saw
Speaker 1: me go back in that drive and then score a
Speaker 1: touchdown and stuff, so I'm sure they know I'm good Christian. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't want to go in there like
Speaker 1: acting like it was a movie scene and and all
Speaker 1: that stuff happened. It was more about, all right, I'm
Speaker 1: back in here, like let's actually read out the defense.
Speaker 1: What are we trying to do? And you know that's
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do. Put up points and saw
Speaker 1: Christian and the and zone on the play and got
Speaker 1: it done right this then celebrating Stone the long way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's easy, you know, to get caught up
Speaker 1: and all right, we have to do this, you know,
Speaker 1: the the big goal, the big picture, and we should
Speaker 1: always have that in mind. But man, I think all
Speaker 1: of us that you don't. We don't want to just
Speaker 1: get to the end and miss out on the whole process.
Speaker 1: You know, we're still trying to enjoy the season, the games,
Speaker 1: the little moments. I think guys here have played long
Speaker 1: enough and they understand, you know, how to do that
Speaker 1: and then obviously lock in. Uh we're on the team
Speaker 1: that we're supposed to be playing next you know, So
Speaker 1: enjoying the little moments and and things like that. But
Speaker 1: you know, obviously it's the next game up and we
Speaker 1: gotta win in advance. But he said he didn't want
Speaker 1: to feel like a movie does this last year. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you just look at the whole grand scheme of it, right,
Speaker 1: being drafted last and all that. I mean, I guess
Speaker 1: people could start saying stuff about movies and stuff, but man,
Speaker 1: for me, you know, I'm just staying one day at
Speaker 1: a time. I'm playing football. I've dreamed of being able
Speaker 1: to play in the NFL, and I got a great
Speaker 1: team around me, and that's what's where I'm at, and
Speaker 1: just trying to enjoy every day. Anything that you want
Speaker 1: to see. Yeah, I mean to come home and have
Speaker 1: everybody you know from high school, Perry and Queen Creek,
Speaker 1: Gilbert to come to the game and support like they have,
Speaker 1: and it means everything to me. You know, I've always
Speaker 1: dreamed of being able to come home and play in
Speaker 1: front of everybody, and just because of how much I
Speaker 1: know that they have my back and support me, and
Speaker 1: so I hope I was able to give them a
Speaker 1: good game and I appreciate all that they've done for me.
Speaker 1: In my life. Thanks
