Those are the years in which you're logging games, right?
It's different when a guy puts his first six or seven together, makes all the starts, and then all of a sudden later you miss a few games each year.
And then now you're doing a new contract and you go, oh gosh, can he pull it back to how he once was?
I think with Garrett, though, again, look at type beyond just his sort of demo.
He's also a 6'3", 300 guy.
And we know in the NFL the centers aren't always the biggest guys on the offensive line.
So he's not going to be, I mean if you're hoping Chicago to sort of dominate down the middle of the pocket as far as really pressing it forward and giving Caleb all the room in the world to work, he may not be that guy.
You're certainly not going to run the ball between the guards and just blow people off the line.
He's a 6'3", 300.
Not a huge, not overwhelmingly powerful guy, but he always grades really well in pass pro.
He fronts his guy up, and he's a great communicator.
He runs things.
He's going to be now playing next to Joe Tooney, who he's obviously very familiar with Joe from the NC State days.
So he's just not going to screw up, and he's going to, by and large, do what you expect of him.
But again, when you're not spending 10, you know, like open market free agency kind of dollars in the center, 10 mil or more, something like that, and you're not using a first round or second round pick on it, that's what you really hope to get.
You're going to get something stable, and I think that's what they've got.
100%.
All he played in college was center, and then he came over, and because of the Garrett addition, Garrett was sort of the safety pick, right?
And again, this is something you usually see throughout the course of an NFL season or roster to roster.
They have a high-value guy they like as possible,
