00:00 Well, the first thing I wanted to do was call him because I knew I'd been a weight on his
00:07 shoulders.
00:08 He's been here since January and he's been patiently waiting to see if he'll be able
00:11 to play football.
00:13 So that's one of the moments as a coach you really look forward to, to deliver the message
00:17 that you know, it worked out man, you're going to get a chance to go compete and play football
00:22 this year.
00:23 You know, so it's pretty emotional I think for both of us.
00:25 You know, because there were times when I'm sure he was frustrated and you know, we were
00:30 anxiously waiting to see what was going to happen.
00:32 But it was one of those fun moments, those fun phone calls and he was very, very excited.
00:37 And you can kind of see he's got a little bit of extra pep in his step and it's fun
00:43 to see him this happy and get ready to compete.
