that Drew Dallman is in a good place mentally and emotionally with his decision, that he's in a healthy place about it.

Because I, like so many people, are curious kind of what led him to this point.

Is this what we would anticipate as the prime of his career physically and the comfort he has in this Bears offense and everything else?

I would imagine there's an explanation that will come at some point.

She was rather caught off guard as well.

You know, she had watched me that entire offseason rehabbing and preparing and working with trainers.

We moved to town, to the next city we were living in.

And then I got home and said, yeah, I hung him up.

And we had some deep conversations about it.

All right, what's next?

What's next?

She has followed me all around the country to these various cities.

And in some ways, it's sort of put her career on the shelf.

And she's going with me to this place and that.

And

Yeah, it was a difficult time because not only was my playing career over, but then our family had to figure out what's next for us.

And yeah, when you're doing that, you know, I was 28, Drew Darman's 27.

And yeah, he is a multimillionaire, but he was just about to enter his earning prime as well.

So you would imagine there's a gravity to where he's at in his life right now and just trying to figure out what the next phase brings.

What this ends up doing, the Drew Dahlman portion of this, it changes, it adjusts my perspective on what left tackle means.
