00:00 >> Yeah, you never know.
00:01 You got confidence in yourself as a player, but it's kind of thinking if I can
00:05 jump into the commercial real estate realm next year, or whatever,
00:07 I'm gonna be playing quarterback.
00:08 So absolutely, those thoughts come across your head.
00:12 >> Mason, over the last two years, do you get a sense, Mason,
00:15 that the players rally around you?
00:16 >> Yeah, I think the fast start helps me
00:22 invigorate the offense, and then I've got good
00:27 relationships with guys on both sides of the ball.
00:30 I mess around a lot with 97 and 90, and Alex Highsmith.
00:37 So I enjoy playing with him, and
00:42 like I said, earning my paycheck, and
00:47 not just feeling like a freeloader, playing the game and scoring some points.
00:53 >> Mason, over the last two years,
00:54 how much opportunity have you had to gain reps with George,
00:57 where did you feel his high chemistry came from?
00:59 >> I think back to the preseason game against Seattle here,
01:05 where I got to throw a touchdown and see him in person.
01:09 I'd seen him in training camp leading up to that.
01:11 He had made some incredible catches.
01:13 Mostly throwing my kiddie a bitch, but I try to just,
01:17 anytime he's in there and I was in training camp, I was gonna throw a deep to
01:22 the guy, if he's pressing on one, and he made a lot of plays.
01:27 So like I said, we got a lot of great receivers.
01:31 Tonight was his night.
01:32 Deontay's had a lot of nights off all year, so they're two great players.
