“Look, at the end of the day and when I first got here and I started doing all this stuff, the answer when I was asked ‘hey, what’s the end goal for you?’ has always been to play quarterback. I’m a quarterback at heart and that’s my mindset. That is really nice when I can tailor all of my offseason program to being as good of a quarterback as I possibly can.”

This is an often missed but very important teaching moment. It is all fine and dandy to tell children "you can be anything that you want to". But, by the time adulthood arrives adequate time should have been spent determining what skill sets are present.

I started working during the summer when I was 13 as a welders helper on a pipeline crew. Each summer my job was different and by the time I was 17 I had spent time sandblasting, painting, chipping buckshot, driving dozers and tractors, working on bulldozers and tractors, plowing, bush-hogging, levy repair. general farm work etc... This gave me a wide variety of application experience and an understanding of my natural abilities. Spend a summer on a 25 year old Massey Ferguson and you'll get a feel for your mechanical and trouble shooting talents lol.
