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?

Yeah, this is actually funny enough.

This was maybe some foreshadowing, but this was a year ago when I was back in California.

And there were a couple comparisons on, hey, you play a little bit like Kirk Cousins, Sam Darnold, just from our NFL guys.

And so at that point, I was like, okay, let me watch these guys and see what they do, see what they do good and see what they need improvement on.

And so in this aspect, it was for my free time.

I love watching NFL ball.

So after I was done with my process, I would watch 30 minutes or an hour of Kirk Cousins or Sam Darnold.

And this past year, it was Matthew Stafford.

Not saying I play like Matthew Stever, but just someone great to learn from.

And those experiences have helped me a lot, especially getting adjusted to the college games and to see how quarterbacks process the defense.

I'll let Peyton Manning hold the rein on that and hold the throne on that.

He is for sure the GOAT of pitches.

However, I believe that...

The partnerships that are most viable and most significant to me are the ones that have tangible application.
