It brought you take us through when you went down and your level of concern and yeah, I mean I'd never had one before, so you know, when I got hit, you know, I probably could have you know, popped up with someone you know, to grab my arm and pulled me up. But I was all right, yeah, this is my first time having it. Just based off of what my teammates and guys that I've played with, what they how they explained the stinger. I was, that's definitely how
I'm feeling. You know, it was on my left side, So just laid there for a sec sort of let it, you know, calm down and stuff, and then I was able to get up, go to the tent and then you know, from there I got better. Literally as time went on, it just started going away. And that's why I was able to get back in their mid drive. Uh yeah I did, but you know, at that point, you know, I'm just more concerned about my body and stuff. So that's cool. Seeing we're hearing the support from everybody,
that was pretty cool stuff. But remember when it comes to pay through, appreciate. Yeah, you know, I'm the guy hands on the ball off and then I turn back and and watch you know sort of what he does, bouncing off guys, making cuts, twisting off guys, and the
guy all these guys holding on to him. So I just see, you know, the beating that he takes and just his grit to continue to drive his legs and get extra yards and inches like, and then goes off to the sideline and he's immediately you know, using their guns and moving his body just non stop moving and so but we all respect it, man, like he's the guy who does it all. And then he put him out in the slot and throw him the ball and
he just does everything. He's smart, and so you know, like I've said it before, man, we definitely you know, look up to him and his toughness and he sets the standard and we follow his lead. Yeah yeah, I mean, you know when he does it still sort of blows my mind. But at the same time, I'm like, that's Christian.
You know, He's done that time and time again, and you know, to see him continue to do that and then get back in the huddle and then go run a route and catch the ball and have an explosive it's like, dude, this is crazy. So definitely thankful and blessed to be playing with him obvious. The next one to Mcaniffrey the people, and he was also very wide open. Is that one where you are trying to miss him?
Like do you have to? Yeah? Yeah, I mean it was you know, it's sort of just like a off schedule play, a bounce out of the pocket, and then I see him go down the field and at that point, at that point, I didn't know is he gonna, you know, continue to run straight? Is he turning to me? And so I just sort of put it up in the air, and man, he did a good job tracking it down,
catching it and then getting up and scoring. So uh, sort of a tough you know moment right then and there what to do with where the ball should be, but we got it done. He just gave a great description of a Christian and what he means to the team.
What's your dude, I think I think Christian should be m v P. I think I really do believe that, you know, he does everything for us, runs the ball, well, can catch the ball, He does everything, and so in my eyes, that's an m v P. I mean, I'm honored, But man, I think you know, I have a great team. You know, a great team around me and guys willing to make plays and stuff. So I'm trying to do my part and help help our team win. And I'm
very honored to hear it. But I think we just have an m v P team overall, so coming yeah, yeah, I mean it's definitely a special game for me, obviously coming home and stuff. You know, I came back here for the Fest of Baal, but that was in COVID, you know, so there wasn't that many people watching, just
family and friends. But now to come back and have a whole stadium and and it felt like a game that you know, in high school, I'd come and watched the Cardinals and felt like that now I'm playing on the on that field. It was so cool. So definitely something I'll look back on in life and be very thankful for. I don't even know the number. Yeah, I only got tickets just for my family, just because there's so many people in my life, you know, hit me up for all that stuff. It was crazy. So I
just suck with my family. But I know a lot of people in my life that came, and I'm very thankful for them in their sport. Yeah, I haven't talked to him, yet so but uh, I mean they saw me go back in that drive and then score a touchdown and stuff, so I'm sure they know I'm good Christian. Yeah, I mean I didn't want to go in there like acting like it was a movie scene and and all that stuff happened. It was more about, all right, I'm back in here, like let's actually read out the defense.
What are we trying to do? And you know that's what we're trying to do. Put up points and saw Christian and the and zone on the play and got it done right this then celebrating Stone the long way. Yeah, I mean it's easy, you know, to get caught up and all right, we have to do this, you know, the the big goal, the big picture, and we should always have that in mind. But man, I think all of us that you don't. We don't want to just get to the end and miss out on the whole process.
You know, we're still trying to enjoy the season, the games, the little moments. I think guys here have played long enough and they understand, you know, how to do that and then obviously lock in. Uh we're on the team that we're supposed to be playing next you know, So enjoying the little moments and and things like that. But you know, obviously it's the next game up and we gotta win in advance. But he said he didn't want
to feel like a movie does this last year. I mean, if you just look at the whole grand scheme of it, right, being drafted last and all that. I mean, I guess people could start saying stuff about movies and stuff, but man, for me, you know, I'm just staying one day at a time. I'm playing football. I've dreamed of being able to play in the NFL, and I got a great team around me, and that's what's where I'm at, and just trying to enjoy every day. Anything that you want
to see. Yeah, I mean to come home and have everybody you know from high school, Perry and Queen Creek, Gilbert to come to the game and support like they have, and it means everything to me. You know, I've always dreamed of being able to come home and play in front of everybody, and just because of how much I know that they have my back and support me, and so I hope I was able to give them a good game and I appreciate all that they've done for me. In my life. Thanks
