You know, guys are saying, you know, they should have gotten this guy and this guy. But I came in and I said, I want to prove them right for picking me. I want to prove those people that said that wrong. When I went to K-State, I was a three-star guy. I wasn't really expected to do anything crazy. I ended up playing as a true freshman and winning a Big 12 championship.
I feel like the story of my career is proving people wrong. I love where I'm at in the process. I think me being a guy who can kind of fly under the radar right now. And then hopefully, you know, all you need is one team to fall in love with you, man. And, and, you know, I just want to prove to all these teams that, you know, I have what it takes.

And I feel like, you know, I'm one of the, one of the most NFL ready guys, um, that there is, you know, I've seen a lot in my college career and, um, you know, I feel like I'm really well prepared and, you know, I think I process the game better than, better than, better than anyone.

So, you know, I think for me, you know, I'm confident in myself, you know, I know there's a ton of other really talented guys in this draft class and, um, you know, I'm, I'm not going to say anything about them, but, you know, I believe in myself and, and I think that, you know, I, whoever wants to pick me is getting a winner, man. And they're not going to regret it.

Yeah, it was coming out of my last year at K-State. I knew I wanted a new challenge and something to kind of... My eventual goal was to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. So I knew to make that step, I wanted to improve my draft stock. And I felt like where my draft stock was coming out of my last year at K-State, it just didn't really match where I felt like my talent level was.

And I was getting told, you're a day three guy, you're an undrafted guy. And I had one more year of eligibility left. And I said, if I feel like there's a place that I can really improve my game and compete for a national championship, those were the two things I was telling schools. It's not about NIL. It's not about... going somewhere where it's a guaranteed start.

No, I want to go somewhere where I feel like I can develop as a quarterback and improve my draft stock and compete for a national championship. And when it kind of came down to it, it was really Miami, USC, Ohio State, and then draft. And Miami... had a favorable schedule.
