What they’re saying

“It's been great, you know it's cool to be able to add them to my routine. You know, they got me the IO series. It's been great for me. You know, it's got the two-minute timer on there to me, let me know how long I've been brushing my teeth and everything. So it gives me that perfect clean.”

“Yeah, it's great. You know, at first, when it happened, it took a few days to, like, really process what happened. And you know, how far we came as a team. And then after that parade is really when it hit that, you know, we were Super Bowl champions.”

“I'm not gonna say what we talked about. But after the game is really when we, like, it was later on that day, you know, we always talk and text and call and everything. So we had a talk and everything. So that meant a lot. And I just made sure I let him know I had him for sure.”

“I would say he was always wanting to get better. You know, no matter how much we want to gain by he still wanted to find things to critique, just so we weren't satisfied. You know, he knew our main goal was winning the Super Bowl, so he kept our minds on that. You know, I'm saying, and he's going to be a head coach somewhere. That's, that's a good thing, I think that's a great thing. You know, that's moving up in your career. You know, whatever you want to be the best at what you do. So him getting a head coaching job is great, and I'm happy for him, absolutely.”

“I'm not concerned at all. You know, I've been, my mind hasn't really been on that yet. We still got probably, like, a week or so, so I just been chilling, you know, been here chilling at the crib, playing a game, just relaxing. So once, once the whole process starts, that's when I feel like I'll start thinking about it, you know, being more into that.”
