Carolina where did that come from was That something a Nick Saban type Approach Steve sarkeesian or Billy O'Brien where did that come from or did That come from high school your Preparation not just playing well on a Friday night or a Saturday but Throughout the week where did that start From yeah I think a combination of Everything you know I came into into College with a big emphasis on on being Prepared and watching film in high School but obviously watching watching Huddle film in high school and just Having one clip and you know there's Obviously a far deeper level of that you Know you have to be at in college and You know I understood the importance of Preparation and you know also I I was Able to be around Mac be around Coast Ark and then be around OB Um you know my final few years and Hearing their takes on and hearing out How they prepare what they're looking For Um you know talking to other people in The coaching staff of course coach Sabin And you know I think for me I was taking Little nuggets here and there and then Figuring out a process that worked for Me you know having the same routine the Same habit uh you know weekly and I Would I would you know I would amend it And and Tinker with it and try to take

Elements from what everyone else did and I figured out what worked for me um and You know I I try to stay consistent with That so last night obviously they had You know the draft in Kansas City Hundreds of thousands of people and There was a little event here in Bank of America Stadium and in case you didn't Know the weather was not good yesterday It rained all day very Uncharted like And we had over 7 000 people on the Field last night and we had numerous Former players come up Anish was able to Host and just the excitement that they Felt and there's the people the Excitement it's like a rebirth for this Franchise so what do you like to say to The panther fans who just getting to Know you and what should they be excited About Bryce young being here yeah first And foremost I'm super grateful for you Guys and the support um you know just Like you said I'm showing up and and and And rain and and just to support support The team and you know I felt a little Bit today coming here and I'm super Honored to be to be a member of the Organization and I'm going to do Everything I can I'm going to give him My all um to accomplish the goals that We say as a team I'm super honored I'm Going to be here to be part of the city And be a part of this organization and You guys are going to get my all well
