00:00B, did you hear we had a retirement today?

00:05Out here?

00:06Yeah.

00:07Who was it?

00:08Nate Herbig.

00:10Oh.

00:11Was it a backup center or something like that?

00:13Guard, yeah.

00:14Okay.

00:15So what's funny, though, is last week before fans were out here,

00:19I tweeted out this video of Herbig was just standing out there

00:26practicing his golf swing.

00:28He was?

00:28Yeah, which I just found kind of funny.

00:30Well, now he's going to get on the tour.

00:33I mean, yeah.

00:34They call it the big boy tour.

00:36It's going to be nothing but officer lineman, follow officer lineman.

00:39Jeff can go right now.

00:41You got to wonder if there's an injury or something.

00:43He played 17 games for the Steelers last year.

00:47I mean, he's going into his sixth season.

00:50See, I just, listen, man, officer lineman, bro, they deal with pure hell.

00:53I mean, everything is, like, they have fingers, elbows, feet get stepped on all the time,

01:02knees get hit from the side, guys stepping on your back, stepping on your Achilles.

01:05Think about the torque on the back.

01:07To be honest with you, man, today, with the way this thing is, like, the college people make so much money in college now,

01:15and then they come on to the next level, guys don't play as long anymore.

01:19Think about it.
