00:00 So the question is, in our interactions, meetings with quarterbacks here,
00:05 what's important?
00:07 I think all of it, the first thing is getting to put a name with a face.
00:11 And it's the first personal visit where you're like, nice to meet you.
00:18 And then you'll spend time with questions and there'll be football related.
00:23 And there'll be follow up meetings, pro day visits,
00:29 private workout visits.
00:31 And so these are all pieces of the equation that I think are necessary.
00:37 And obviously, the beginning of this event was to combine medical information,
00:44 hence the term combine.
00:48 And then pretty soon, let's run a 40 and let's run a few of these cone drills.
00:54 Let's have these meetings.
00:56 But the interactions in the meetings are important because it is,
01:02 for a lot of us, the scouts maybe not so much.
01:05 But for a lot of us, it's the first time we're getting introduced to a prospect.
01:12 And so not just a quarterback, but the other positions.
01:16 And I think that first impression is important.
