It was like, I felt like it was me constantly like, like faking it, like till I made it and trying to, trying to be what I thought a professional was.

Exactly, pretty much.

And not to say those guys didn't welcome me.

We had some great vets with Chicago.

It was more so I just didn't know how to be, didn't know how to behave.

And after a while, it was like...

like the Tommy John, that rehab, it's like you get around the guys again and you kind of forget what it was like before because it's like, man, I just missed you guys.

So it's like I felt like I was able to open up more and be myself.

You know, I feel like I've always been a guy who just kind of like says whatever comes to mind.

But when you're a rookie,

and you're surrounded by a lot of vets.

We were a young team in Chicago, but it was also like there were some stars there.

So I was just very soft-spoken, didn't feel like, felt like I kind of had to mute my personality just because I was the young guy.

Yeah.

That sucks.

Well, that's the nature of it, though.

And that's kind of... That's a whole other... That's kind of life, too.

I'm sure if you're interning somewhere, you can't be super flamboyant with your personality.

You want guys to feel secure, especially.

Yeah.
