I did everything that I would do for baseball because I actually trained harder at baseball than I did football.
And once I get to the league, you know, hey, let's work on this.
And I'm just like, man, my first five years in the league, I lost all my wiggle.
Like I came to the league like freaking limber.
I was able to take stuff to the house.
I was like, I got to get back to building the athlete because you see, that's what the game is.
It ain't no more just standing in a pocket, look around all progressions and complete the pass.
You have to be able to extend plays at the quarterback position to win in this football league.
You have to.
Yeah.
And I think that cross-training with baseball has actually elevated me, gave me a few more extra years on my play because of the different movements and different actions that I do when I'm taking fly balls, when I'm fielding ground balls, when I'm swinging the baseball bat, being in different planes, man.
It goes.
And I try to tell young kids, like, guys, do not try to become a guru at one sport, man.
Get on a basketball court.
Play some lacrosse, man.
Play some baseball.
Football, man.
Like, do not just be focused on one little thing.
Like, oh, my baby going to be, you know, the number one pick at a quarterback.
I promise you, your baby is going to be looking like that number one pick from age 8 to age 18.
