00:04And you decided to come back to Oregon, despite, you know, you could have gone to the NFL draft.
00:09When you look back on that decision, what were like the most important factors for you?
00:16Really, like I told Coach Landon, there's no development at the second level.
00:20So just being able to come back and do it with my guys one more time and sharpen our toolbox,
00:26just being able to go out here and put the work in all over again before we transition into the
00:32next level.
00:33You were one of the first Ducks to say, hey, I'm coming back. I'm not going to the NFL.
00:37You really left no doubt when you did that. So was it fun when the rest of the decisions started
00:42to get announced?
00:43Yeah, it made it. It made my job a lot easier, you know, to go in and persuade guys.
00:49But other than that, it was it was fun times for sure.
00:52Was there some fun conversations with that? Like, hey, I'm I'm coming back. Like, let's route. Let's all come back.
00:58Yeah, I think one of the funniest ones was Dylan Thiemann, because he knew in the back of his hair
01:03there were no shot.
01:04But just talking to him about it. And I think it was fun.
