Everybody in the NFL is a starter. Even second-string guys, dude, they're the

best in the world at what they do, you know?

And you can have a great team in college, be surrounded by a great supporting cast,

they win national championships. Um, and I'm not knocking them for that.

That's awesome. Keep doing that. But, like, when it comes to the NFL, dude,

"Brocky," he's like, "At the end of the day,

it's you just gotta be more consistent

than the guy across from you and, and do better longer.

You know, they're gonna make great plays. You're gonna be...

But who can do it the longest mentally, physically, all of it together?"
