I was a huge Miami Hurricanes fan, but my dad did his medical residency in Boston.
And so I only lived there for two years.
But when I was seven years old, I watched โ I think I was like six years old actually โ
I watched the New England Patriots play the Giants.
And although they lost, I fell enamored with the New England Patriots.
So that was my team growing up.
I've met him in the official 30 visit at the Raiders.
And how did that go?
It was fantastic.
It was fantastic.
He gave me the message that he's going to push me and he's not going to be all lovey-dovey.
And that if the Raiders draft me, he is going to be โ
a mentor and wants to pour into whatever quarterback the Raiders have, whether it's me, whether they draft somebody else, or like the Raiders, they also signed Kirk Cousins.
Well, if I'm lucky enough to go to the Raiders, I think it would be a great opportunity to be able to learn from someone who's had so much success throughout the years and who I think has a very similar playing style as me.
I've been able to watch his film.
There was two years ago where I watched all his Minnesota Vikings pass tape, every single pass, whether it was incomplete, completion, throughout the entire season, which is a lot because NFL is a lot of games.
But to be able to even learn from that.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
So you went back and looked at all of his throws?
