I see it more. It's just – it's more – it translates better. But I've seen the whole career of Caleb, and I know what he's capable of. So I gave them almost identical grades. Loved both of them. I was slightly higher. It was, I think, 96 and 95 for those two quarterbacks coming in.

And Drake May was number three on that list, but there was a little – there was a noticeable gap between the first two guys and Drake May. So – That's where I stand. It surprises me because no rookie should be playing the way Jaden has played. It's crazy. Period.

No rookie should ever have the rookie year that he's had. You can argue. I know he missed the time and he wasn't great yesterday before the Hail Mary and all that. But you could argue that he's the MVP of the league.

And what he's done to that whole, the whole organization, like the confidence has been instilled and there's, there's a lot of scouting. I know we don't have to deep dive, but there's a lot of scouting stuff here.

So the transition wasn't that hard for him. Playing more ball, transferring from Arizona State to LSU and being in different systems and getting as much game experience as he had, that's critical too. And so I think some young quarterbacks can learn from his journey.
