And so, like I said, I feel like the players itself showed, you know, the coaching staff, you know, they might not have been talked about that much last year, you know, but even dq know him coming from you know him previous experience head coaching, like he's he's doing he's done this before. You know, he's led before. And you know, and me being with him in Dallas as well, I saw that aspect of him as well as he's just a good teacher man. And he brought other good teachers with him, and you know they're able to teach us, you know.

So just going through that whole process and the season going how it was, And like I said, I mean we talked in the season. Yeah, I didn't know how the season was gonna go. I didn't know exactly how things were gonna turn out. But you know, I kept my faith, I kept my head down, kept working, and you man, I felt like it was one of the best seasons.

You know, that's the thing I like, you know about being here, is that they let you dictate your role. So you like, whatever you decide you want to do, whatever you work towards and you get and you earn as a player, that's what you're gonna get, you know. So I'm excited to get to do that over again. And of course with more experience played all last year, you know, so I know more, you know, my third year in the system as well, you know, so I'm excited to see you know what God, you know can do honesty, And I'm just a vessel man.
