Jared Payton

And every year is a new year.

And just hearing him talk about Caleb Williams and the love that he has for him and how the praise that he had for Caleb.

He's not just saying that, you guys.

He wouldn't say that if he didn't believe it, that he's his number one biggest fan.

He truly, truly is.

I think hence the reason why.

I mean, you want to get a head coaching job at some point in your life.

But I think a big reason and a big part of that was because of what he saw in Caleb Williams.

And so I think Caleb is just scratching the surface, in my opinion.

And Ben's talked about that, of how great he actually can be.

And when you have your head coach intact, you have a quarterback intact, you

you can kind of fill in the other holes that are around your organization.

But you've got to have those two.

And it just really feels so good going into this offseason knowing that we've got both of those intact and that the future looks bright.

You know, Marshall, I just had that conversation with my buddy this morning.

I was looking when I saw the Declan Doyle stuff.

I was like, well, I think Declan is,

would be smart to stay in Chicago.

Kind of go back to what Ben Johnson did.

Stay with what you have right now.
