The good news is the battles in camp have been strong.

I think the rookies that we brought in have been what we thought they were going to be.

So we've got several camp battles right now that are going strong, and we've still got plenty of time to evaluate these guys.

So really excited for where we're going.

No, that's a great question.

I guess we'll have to do some excursions further up north.

But no, this is a mental toughness thing.

The cold and the heat, these guys have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

And if they have the mental toughness to do that, usually that goes well within the cold as well.

Yeah, I agree.

I mean, you know, he's coming off an MVP season, so I'm not sure how much better he can get, but you're exactly right.

There's a familiarity and a comfortability of being in Buck's system for the second year.

And, you know, just by just watching Nate's body language and how he's leading this year, you can tell he's way more comfortable.

He's taken that next step as a leader as well.

But, you know, it's only, what, day three of

of camp and you've already seen it you know just you watch the ball and you watch how he talks to the vets how he talks to the rookies how he explains things to the younger guys um he's he's just got that it factor that we've all seen on the field but it's something that you see every day from him and he's this is why he's truly special and so i you know we're we're all primed for a big year for him he sets the his expectations so high that that i don't think i could

Yeah, he set a personal goal to be in the single digits, and again, that's terrific.

At the end of the day, we want to have him execute, and if he can minimize interceptions and take care of the ball better, then that's fantastic.

But when you're talking about the player, the level that he is coming off a season that he just had, if Nathan does what he did last year, we're going to be absolutely ecstatic.

The key for us is we need to elevate everybody else around him.
