00:00Right now, I'm still a football player, right?

00:02I still love coming into work and getting after it

00:06and chasing championships.

00:08It's what I've always dreamt of doing.

00:11And right now, it feels like I'm in the heart of it.

00:13I'm in the thick of it.

00:14So I'm a football player at first,

00:16but in the off seasons, I do like to dabble around

00:19and kind of go in and out,

00:22see how cool the, how hot or cold the pool is

00:26by dipping my toes in and just, you know, see what I like.

00:28See if, you know, acting is something

00:30that I feel comfortable doing.

00:32If being a host of a TV show or just being on screen.

00:37And, you know, I had a whole lot of fun

00:39doing SNL a few years ago.

00:41And I think that kind of catapulted me

00:44into where I am right now in the off season.

00:46But yeah, I think all of that,

00:48you'll see me continue to, I don't know,

00:50find my lane for sure.

00:52I mean, I'm a quarterback at heart.

00:53I can't throw the ball anymore,

00:55but I think it all started me loving to play quarterback

01:00because I had the ball in my hands every single play.

01:02And I just, over the course of my career,

01:05I've found that tight end just kind of suits my athleticism

01:08and my mentality a little bit better.

01:11I'm not a guy that likes to live by a lot of rules

01:14or have a lot of parameters

01:16and the quarterback room, you need that.

01:19And that's something that, you know, you have to have.

01:21And even though I've learned to find those parameters

01:25and play within schemes and play within the rules

01:27and everything of the offense,

01:29I think that the tight end room just suits me better.

01:32And I can help a team out way more at tight end

01:34than I can quarterback.

01:35I'm a huge game show fan myself.

01:39Me and my brother grew up watching Game Show Network

01:41and just picking it out on the couch

01:43all throughout our childhood

01:45and through high school and college and stuff.

01:46So there was that.

01:48And then Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader,

01:50which was such a great show.

01:52I mean, we enjoyed it so much

01:53that when the opportunity came up to kind of, you know,

01:56throw a new twist on it and really in my mind,

01:59kind of revamp it and bring some adults and celebrities

02:03and familiar faces and get them involved

02:06and see how they answer

02:07some of these elementary school questions.

02:09And I think it was just all of that combined

02:12really made it fun.

02:13The hardest part for me was, you know,

02:16you gotta make sure that everybody understands

02:18where they're at in the game,

02:19how they're, you know, the rules and everything.

02:23And for me to be the one making sure they knew that,

02:26I had to really grasp,

02:28kind of being repetitive in a sense, right?

02:30And making sure that everybody knew

02:32what was going on in the game.

02:33So just taking control of the atmosphere

02:36was probably the biggest challenge.

02:37I'm actually terrified of watching myself

02:39in situations like this, yeah.

02:42But I'll make sure I turn it on and see how well I did.

02:45Just to critique myself, I'm my own worst critic.

02:48So I can only see the bad that I do in anything,

02:51even on the football field.
