Will Rogers talks about his best quarterback attributes.
Transcript
00:00out here the last few days and watching you guys in practice.
00:02It's been pretty cool, obviously he's one of the, one of, if not the greatest coach
00:07of all time, so for him to be out here and he's not just out here standing on
00:12the sidelines, he's out here coaching and giving coaching points and
00:15things like that, so it's really cool to see him out here.
00:18You're following up, succeeding a Heisman runner up.
00:23You're stepping into that situation, what's that like?
00:27First of all, what's that like, and have you talked to Michael at all,
00:30as he told you in a minute?
00:32I mean, it's obviously gonna be pretty tough to do.
00:35What Mike did last year, he was really successful and really talented.
00:40I think you can see that from his pro day and
00:43how high he's gonna be drafted and things like that.
00:45So I'm not Michael Pinnocks or anything like that.
00:49I'm not gonna be able to make some of the throws and the plays that he made.
00:54But I'm my own self, with that being said.
00:57So, and that's just a confidence within myself that a lot of quarterbacks have.
01:03And when it's between the white lines, I like myself, but with that being said,
01:09it's gonna be really hard to follow up what Mike did last year and
01:12how successful he was.
01:13But I haven't really got a chance to talk to him with everything like that,
01:17just everything going on with him going into the draft and being drafted so high.
01:21You don't wanna ask him questions when he's got so much going on.
01:25But I look forward to the challenge.
01:27But yeah, it's gonna be a challenge to follow up.
01:29Such a good football player here at UW the past two years.
01:32What do you think your strengths are?
01:33What do you feel real confident in when you take over the program?
01:38I mean, obviously, throwing the football is probably one of my best strengths.
01:44Yeah, I mean, that's probably my, might be my only strength.
01:47So, no, I throw in the football and then, I mean,
01:51I think I do a pretty good job of talking to the guys in the locker room.
01:55I think I have a pretty good capability to really connect with a lot of different
02:00guys from different backgrounds and things like that in the locker room.
02:03So just trying to be the best version of myself every day and
02:08trying to lead guys every day and at the end of the day win some football games.
