I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the different rules that the NFL has rolled out, but the fact that there are more opportunities to return kicks is an exciting thing.

And for a guy like me who wouldn't have been in the NFL had it bit not been for special teams, to see the guys go around, make plays, guys, you know, being enthusiastic and and and excited about about their role, it it makes me happy.

It makes me happy, it makes me excited to watch um special teams again.

And and yeah, and Coach Hightower has done an unbelievable job of of turning it around.

I mean this is a you know, we were talking earlier in the season with the kicker situation back and forth, you know, what it was think about the very first game.

Hey, can you get the ball in the end zone?

No, I yeah, I can get it through the end zone, I can get it through the end zone or whatever.

And it it didn't happen.

And so to turn it around and and and the return game was uh was magical and and uh electric throughout the season's it's it's

It's it's a really good story and I'm happy for Coach Hightower.

It is it is it's it's magical.
