So gonna try to build 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.560 on it next year and going forward. But some i'a 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:28.800 look back on and be proud of and just hope 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:29.640 for better next year. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.119 We start building off that question. What do you think 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.000 you how do you think it change? 0:01:34.000 --> 0:01:36.160 Does maybe a leader of this team, obviously a leading 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.800 play make for this team? Do you feel different this year? 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:40.840 I I would just say with my play. 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:43.600 Honestly, I think I try to go out there and 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:47.240 be a energy guy and just allow guys to build 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:48.840 off what I'm doing on the field, whether it's making 0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:51.880 him play, you know, communicating, getting guys confidence, stuff like that. 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.120 And I feel like that's something that I've grown into 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:56.840 this year terms vocally, I feel like I could build 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:58.840 on that a little more going into you know, I'm 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.720 still twenty two and trying to uh find away in 0:02:02.720 --> 0:02:04.360 that sense, but you know you got. 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:04.720 Time for that. 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:05.600 What's your top part? 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:06.280 Where's going to. 0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:08.240 Golf? 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.200 Probably right now? 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.680 How does the the feeling that you know a lot's 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.960 gonna change or the least the players of free agency, 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.880 you know, just about coaching staff? Does that make today? 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.080 That that reality kind of sinking yids? 0:02:21.120 --> 0:02:21.720 That make the day? 0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:22.320 You can tumber? 0:02:22.800 --> 0:02:26.240 Yeah, I mean it's it's part of this, uh, this league. 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:29.240 You know, no, no team's the same, uh year and 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.760 year out. And uh, Luckily for us we got a 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.080 group of core guys. You're gonna still be here, but 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:35.839 you know, we're losing a lot at the same time, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.280 and it's that's happening everybody around the league. So it's 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:39.840 up to us to just lock back in no matter 0:02:39.880 --> 0:02:42.880 who's coaching, doesn't matter who's playing with us, you know, 0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.440 the the mission stays the same. And uh, I think 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:46.400 we're all about it on that. 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.040 Oh when you see some of the stuff that just 0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:50.600 set it on the morder in the redg of this game, 0:02:50.639 --> 0:02:54.560 and Stephen, you see stuff like that, what's your reppen? 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.680 I don't really have any reaction to Honestly, it's you know, 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.040 it's just talking heads at this point. You know, they 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:03.880 got a job to do, I guess, and they gotta 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:06.320 get views and stuff like that. But I don't think 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.360 Lamark Harris, no, I, nor do ODD care what other 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:11.560 people have to say outside of this building. So you know, 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.320 they can say he's the best quarterback every one week 0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:17.000 and then next week say whatever they want to say. 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.000 But I mean that just comes with the territory, you know, 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.320 heavy as the head that wears the ground. So there's 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.320 a lot of people out there hoping for people like 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.480 with Martin Phield, but we all know that he's the 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:28.880 best player in this league and I'm glad to have 0:03:29.080 --> 0:03:29.480 mine team. 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:33.560 That was safety Kyle Hamilton. 0:03:33.560 --> 0:03:36.640 We also heard from linebacker Patrick Queen, who is heading 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.280 into free agency this offseason. 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:42.680 Come to realize what happened and how close you were 0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:47.280 in just misunfortunate. You know, stuff happens, and we wanted 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:48.680 to be on the other side and we just wasn't. 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.280 So there's nothing to do. We all long, you know, 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.160 now it's just a time to learn from and improved 0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:53.400 from it, and you know, just get better. 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:56.040 Patrick, You've been a part of a few of these 0:03:56.120 --> 0:04:00.760 clean outs. Now, how does this day feel different than 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:01.640 the ones previous? 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.440 Feels the same. Honestly, anytime you lose, alright, you gotta 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:05.400 go home and feel the same. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:06.040 Uh. 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:10.520 Never good. Uh, it's just tough, honestly. You know, all 0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.680 the guys that you work around, you know all that 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:14.520 common goal that y'all share, you know, you just didn't 0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:14.800 reach it. 0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:15.960 So it it definitely sucks. 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.520 I was in the locker room yesterday. I noticed you 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:21.200 were one of the last ones out of there last night. 0:04:21.160 --> 0:04:22.479 You talking with Lamar for a while. 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:24.840 Any any reason to that? I mean, were you kind 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.279 of taking it all in y you know, you don't 0:04:26.360 --> 0:04:28.320 obviously know what the future holes with you and the 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.560 organization you you did, you know, hang around a little 0:04:31.560 --> 0:04:33.560 bit longer last night. Any reason for that? 0:04:33.720 --> 0:04:36.160 Yeah, we were just talking about like just not letting 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:40.400 his moment get us twice. You know, my future uncertain, uh, 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:42.160 and you know if I am playing with him again, 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:43.760 then we just don't want let that happen to us again. 0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:46.080 I definitely wouldn't wanted it to happen if I'd do 0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:48.040 go somewhere else. So it was just basically I was 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.720 just uh keeping each other his in it. Uh, just 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.520 knowing that it's off season, just to get better. 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.960 Patrick Gobs, like you said that you don't know what's 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:57.040 gonna happen in the future, but do you do you 0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:57.920 wanna be here? 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.080 Uh? I mean yeah, of course, you know just where 0:05:01.120 --> 0:05:03.480 I started it at, so it definitely be nice to 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:04.839 come back. But at the same time, you know, I 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.600 just I just gotta do it best for me, do 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.039 it best for my family, and then they gotta do 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.680 its best for them on the other side too as well. 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.159 So you know wherever that leads to. I I th 0:05:13.279 --> 0:05:14.279 it's it's up to God. 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.880 How how do you plan to approach that process? 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:20.520 Just pray on it, uh, I think try to do 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.159 too much myself, too much thinking myself or with other people. 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.159 I think, Uh, it's it's a lot of words, starts 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:27.000 happening and stuff. So I'm just pray on it, leave 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.040 it to God, and whatever happen happens it. 0:05:29.400 --> 0:05:30.800 How pleased were you with I mean, you had a 0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:33.280 great season, you know, uh, played at such a high level. 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.760 How how pleased were you to deliver that kind of season? 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:37.479 You know obviously in a contract here? 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.599 Yeah, Uh, I wish I had to did a little 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.320 bit better, uh with like a turner or something yesterday. 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.839 I think that's my only r only regret is not 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:46.359 being able to get the ball at least once uh 0:05:46.440 --> 0:05:49.039 to give our office has done a chance. So you know, 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.760 I feel, you know, great about the whole season up 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.880 to until that point yesterday end. It's unfortunately what happened, 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.040 but definitely feel great. 0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.600 And how yo you at you with the brooke want 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.360 because it so gynastic as one Packer's the last season 0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.719 and a half. And what what about patting. 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.360 Browonta's team changed your career? 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.960 And and is it kind of hard to kind of 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.320 think of out here in a certain team when he 0:06:10.600 --> 0:06:11.160 feels like you. 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:11.960 Took down something. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:15.560 He definitely taught me a lot. He taught me how 0:06:15.600 --> 0:06:18.120 to lead, taught me how to you know, be who's 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:20.280 supposed to be on the field. Uh, and the off 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.520 the field as well. It's just it's so much stuff 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.080 he taught me, man I it could go on for days. 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:25.279 Bruh. 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.560 The just a great dude, great guy, a great teammate, 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:30.360 everything that you want the leader. And you know, there's 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:32.280 definitely stuff that I'll take with me for the rest 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.440 of my life, even if I'm not here, then he 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.880 taught me. Cause the dude, here's a reason why he 0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:39.360 got what he got and why he's here. So just 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:40.640 just all the respect to him. 0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:42.400 How tri had you ever one of the many free 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.720 agents or have you guys talked about how this do 0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.520 you pick up a lot different next year? 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:49.640 Yeah, that's w that was the whole talk. That's the 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:50.880 why we wanted to get to where we wanted to 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.520 get to. So we definitely talked about it already and 0:06:54.520 --> 0:06:57.960 everybody already knew. So that's why definitely s s things 0:06:58.000 --> 0:06:58.280 a lot. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:02.160 Patrick, given that, though, how long was it take for 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:02.880 you to get over? 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:05.600 Especially give it him a certain to you these opportunities 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:06.200 speaks or. 0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:06.719 Is there. 0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:12.440 Takes probably the whole off season, honestly, just you don't 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.440 wanna lose like that. Honestly, it's just too close to 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.000 two of us grabs. Just too many opportunities that we 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.280 had to be able to capitalize that we didn't. So, uh, 0:07:21.320 --> 0:07:22.880 that's what stings the most, and that's why it just 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:24.840 takes so long to get over, cause you don't get 0:07:24.880 --> 0:07:26.640 another chance until the next sicon start, and then you 0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.360 gotta make your way there again. Can you you even 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:29.920 get a chance. 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.360 So that's why it hurts kW W do you guys 0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.040 need this? So you had a team today and what 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:36.560 was the message? Just learn from it? 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.840 You know, God doesn't make mistakes, and you know whenever 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.240 you're called on by him, that's when your time will come. 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:47.040 So there's nothing to do all long. You just gotta 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:48.600 live with it, learn from him. 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.480 Were you able to talk to your family after the game? Yeah? 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:52.680 What did they have to stay for 'em? 0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:56.040 Yeah? They was happy, happy this could be just proud 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:56.280 of me. 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:59.080 Uh, definitely slung, definitely slung a definitely crowd a little 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.640 be in the car or at my card Lan embracement 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.600 and stuff, but uh, it was definitely Uh good moments 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:05.040 with him. 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.679 Gotch's paving like mcviolens in the bigs for like aliant 0:08:09.720 --> 0:08:13.360 coaching positions, work with He's been there for you as. 0:08:13.280 --> 0:08:14.360 You kind of start. 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.160 I never hope at Baltimore's he stays. But what something 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.320 to you to get against? Uh? 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:23.440 I think he is the best candidate out there right now. 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.680 I don't think nobody doesn't like him, Nobody cares like him. Uh, 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:31.160 nobody will do what he does. He will not rest 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:34.880 until he has everything right. So whoever gets him if 0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:36.839 he leaves, uh, he probably is getting like the best 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.480 candidate out there. I mean the guys all around.

You know, but like I said, 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.120 we felt one one game short, so you know, it 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:22.760 kind of sucks. 0:10:22.880 --> 0:10:23.120 Did y. 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:24.760 Do you feel like with the the type of year 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:26.240 you had, he production you had, you kind of show 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:28.360 the entire league of what you're capable of and that 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:29.959 you could be a you can be a starter and 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:30.720 a play maker. 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:30.960 In this league. 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:32.640 Yeah, I mean I j I mean I always felt 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.200 like that. I mean, nah, I just kind of showed 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.920 it this year. So you know, no matter how the 0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.880 teams view me or whoever reviews me, that it is 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:41.400 what it is and that's how that's all being free 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:42.959 agency or whatever it or if I make it there. 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.840 So what was it like playing for Mike McDonald this 0:10:46.920 --> 0:10:50.040 year and as he is interviewing for head pushing jobs. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:51.719 What's kind of your pitch for about that? 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:52.960 No, Mike's a great guy. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:54.800 I feel like, I mean kind of show the type 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.960 of guy he is and uh, the schemes he has 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.160 set up and everything like that. You know, he's a 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.560 guy that's always on the things, guys that must to 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:03.800 be ahead of the offenses and stuff like that. So 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:05.720 Mike showed what he could really be this year, and 0:11:05.760 --> 0:11:08.480 he put a bunch of guys in great positions. You know, 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:10.280 we went out there and the executed his plan. 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.800 That was safety Gino Stone veteran Kyle van Noyt, who's 0:11:16.840 --> 0:11:19.400 also scheduled to become a free agent, also talk with 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:20.000 the media. 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:26.160 We really like put an effort in that a lot 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:30.079 of people could see, you know, wish we could have 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.680 made the plays to change that circumstance of the game, 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:38.240 but honestly proud of the way this team's fought and 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.400 just battled every single game we were in every single game. 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.960 Well, what was the kind of message as you guys 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:48.280 all got together, presumably for one last time, one last 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:50.360 team meeting, What was kind of the message going around 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.920 from coach or you know, from the other guys, if anybody. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:57.880 Spoke, that's just how proud of being able to be 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:04.400 together as this group, and obviously disappointed that's to be 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.000 expected when you don't win the whole thing, but just 0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.200 proud to be around a group of men like this, 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.480 the way they've worked all season, the way that we've 0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:19.320 bonded together as friends doesn't happen everywhere, and just grateful 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:22.560 to be around a great group of guys like we have. 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:24.880 You're the only person in here with two rings. 0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:27.440 I mean, how close. 0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.520 Is this team to a Super Bowl championship? 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:35.160 I mean very close. You just saw yesterday you have 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:40.840 three turnovers and offensive battle defensive battle and you're still 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.880 in the game. It just kind of shows the grit 0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:46.720 and determination this team has, and you know, I think 0:12:46.840 --> 0:12:50.280 they'll learn a lot from it. And you know, I 0:12:50.280 --> 0:12:53.520 think when anytime you have number eight at quarterback, you 0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:54.559 got a shot hole. 0:12:54.640 --> 0:12:57.800 You were so invested in narrating those videos for not 0:12:57.840 --> 0:12:59.439 only the team but also the city. 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:01.319 What was that experience like for you. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:06.880 Yeah, that's a good question. I think the just being 0:13:06.960 --> 0:13:09.200 present is a big thing for me. I think a 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:12.160 lot of people look at the future and the past, 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:14.600 and for me, I like to be where my feed 0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:18.840 are and really buy into being present. And I was 0:13:18.920 --> 0:13:22.560 present for this team. I tried to give everything I 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.960 had to the team, and honestly, it was a great, 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.720 great time to come to work, to come into an 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.400 environment with guys that are hungry and ready to work 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:36.160 and coaches that are willing to do extra and you know, 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:39.720 it's unfortunate we came up short, and I think they'll 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.520 go back to the drawing board. But they have a really, 0:13:42.520 --> 0:13:47.120 really good core here and I'm excited for those young guys' futures. 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.000 They have really bright futures. 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.320 Even though you were just here for a year. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:52.880 Do you think that you've left a mark on this 0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:54.000 entire omnivation? 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:55.520 I hope. So we'll see. 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.719 You've talked as you're about coming off the couch and 0:13:58.840 --> 0:14:01.040 falling off the couch and all that. You know, what 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:02.760 did this this year mean to you? 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.240 And how do you view the future? 0:14:05.040 --> 0:14:09.040 Yeah, I'll have to talk to my people, you know, Uh, 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:13.400 getting a little more experienced and having a family, just 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.320 things might be a little different. 0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:19.720 So we'll see. Yeah, God, that's all. 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:22.560 Veterans like you and JADAVII and join this team and 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:25.200 kind of fit like a glove instantly. W What was 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.000 it about this defense that made it so easy to 0:14:28.080 --> 0:14:31.080 kind of jump in and contribute right away? 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.240 I I I'll first say, I think it's a testament 0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:37.440 to us being good football players. I think that sometimes 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.600 gets overshadowed. He's been a really good football player in 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.920 his career. I've been a very good football player in 0:14:43.000 --> 0:14:46.600 my career. When you team up with a good system 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.400 like they have, I feel like it fits like a glove. 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:49.920 Glove. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:55.040 Anytime you have an opportunity to to step on the 0:14:55.040 --> 0:14:57.800 football field like we have, we try to do our 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.440 best to put it all out there, and I think 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.520 we both did a really good job, and this team 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.280 collectively did a good job. We just didn't do it 0:15:06.800 --> 0:15:07.920 enough yesterday. 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:09.680 You know you're one of many. 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:12.600 For you, Yeah, I didn't know that. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:14.480 I know it's a breaking news for you. 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:17.800 How different you know how this league is? 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:18.680 How different? 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:20.160 Could this team possibly? 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:23.080 I mean it's gonna be different. Every year is different. 0:15:24.320 --> 0:15:29.840 Contracts you got contracts, people getting promotions, you know, players 0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:32.960 getting paid. It's gonna be very, very different. But I 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.640 think anytime you have the core that they have here, 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:39.360 with the young studs that they have and a quarterback, 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:40.520 they always got a chance. 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.200 That was Kyle Vanoy. We also talked with rookie wide 0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:47.520 receiver Zay Flowers. 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:52.360 Was the emotions like now you guys all here cleaning 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:55.760 out your lockers today, Just the realization of knowing that. 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:56.520 The season is over. 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.960 I mean, we more care about each other or this 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.120 group probably won't be together again. So you know, we 0:16:04.360 --> 0:16:06.520 just talking to each other and just showing each other 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:09.440 love and appreciating each other for everything we did this year. 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:11.320 Say, where are you gonna take away from. 0:16:11.200 --> 0:16:12.000 Your rookie season? 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:14.960 Uh? 0:16:15.480 --> 0:16:17.720 I had a great time. I had a great rookie season. 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.360 So i'm'a just remember all the memories. 0:16:20.960 --> 0:16:23.400 Say when do you perfect play and start, you know, 0:16:23.600 --> 0:16:28.840
