And then the next, like, real moment for me was I got the opportunity to train Tyrod Taylor. But Tyrod Taylor had been in the NFL for nine years. He'd basically seen every quarterback coach who was in the space that I was in, right? He got to work with all these guys. Then I got there with him for, like, one or two days, and he's like, now I want to hire you, right? And that meant a lot to me because he was making a decision, unlike a lot of the other people that I'd worked with. A lot of the people that I worked with, it only been me, right? They, like, this is just what they grew up doing. But Tyrod, like, was he. That, to me, was like, all right, I really. I'm doing a great job, right? Because if this guy believes in the things that I'm saying, despite me meeting him at this age and I'm able to help him out that much that quickly, then I think that I'm probably better at this than even I thought I was.
