00:03 Everything.
00:12 Everybody knows coming from where I come from.
00:15 Both the division I came from, kind of how I grew up with,
00:19 not a whole lot of football resources around me.
00:22 So it felt good to be able to just have hard work be rewarded.
00:26 Yeah, I mean, I'm the same.
00:28 I have the same nerves every week
00:30 since I've been playing football.
00:31 Just usually I'm just nerved up throughout the week,
00:34 unless we're in practice or unless--
00:36 until we get to the pregame.
00:38 Anytime I'm on the field throughout the week,
00:40 I don't feel it.
00:41 But when you're in the room thinking about it,
00:43 studying it, I am nerved up in those moments.
00:46 But that stays pretty consistent.
00:48 I don't know, looking forward to it, it's exciting.
00:50 And it's cool to see that a lot of people
00:53 are getting to know me.
00:55 So it is pretty cool in that sense.
00:57 One last night, I was on the phone with a dude
01:00 from Huntington.
01:01 And he said he had done a bunch of research
01:04 and that I was the first West Virginia
01:06 born and raised quarterback to ever start in the NFL.
01:09 So I thought that was--
01:10 that was like I was sitting back on my couch like, wow,
01:13 that's pretty amazing.
01:14 It's wild to think about.
01:16 You just think about how long the NFL has been--
01:20 how long they've been playing in the NFL,
01:22 how many people have gone through the NFL.
01:24 So when there's still--
01:27 when you still be the first to do something in this league
01:30 that's been around so long and had so many people come
01:32 through it, it's definitely an honor and something
01:34 that's really crazy and wild to think about.
