Leadership Transition and Team Brotherhood
“We're all just kind of bouncing off each other to see what one person does, and we kind of put it into our toolbox. And we all kind of just kind of built one great big one.”
Mental Toughness and the Long Season
“You don't want to spend all your powder in the first month of the year, right? Oh, yeah. Not pace yourself. There is a mindset to that in another season.”
Versatility, Preparation, and Positional Growth
Caleb and Caden discuss their ability to play multiple positions, the importance of reps, and how they’ve adapted their game through spring practice. They highlight the value of preparation, film study, and developing a deep understanding of their roles.
Leadership and Mentorship in the Receiver Room
“He's not going for his bat. People are bringing it to your position coach. I think it speaks volumes of the general respect that you're earning through the process.”
The Evolution of the Quarterback Role
“You're not going to see us 20 times a game we're running the quarterback. There are people that run it offensive styles and are really successful with it, but with this group we have right now, that's not.”
“I feel like the only person that can truly help you is your relationship with Jesus Christ. And so being able to lean on him, you know, he gives you that peace and comfort, you know, even in those moments, man, where it's so hard that you can't explain.”
“We run the rock. We pound the rock, man. It's going to be really fun this year. What does that mean when you say that? Pound the rock. What does that mean in your vernacular? I just think the way we're running out of the ball and the schemes we're going to implement this year is going to be very, very difficult for teams to combat that.”
“We're all just kind of bouncing off each other to see what one person does, and we kind of put it into our toolbox. And we all kind of just kind of built one great big one.”
