Feels like because of some of the young guys, someone like Dink has gotten overlooked a little bit also because of his injury last year.
How have you seen him kind of continue to just go through the process, get healthy, and just continue to pick up the offense and try and, you know, get to where he wants to be.
Yeah, Dink, for Dink, the mental process has been um really important, like his growth mentally, and I think he's taken a step growing mentally.
Obviously, he had an injury, he had a couple of injuries since he's been here.
So like just talking to that guy, like how can you help yourself when you're not on the field and guys are physically able to get better.
You got to be in the field room, right?
You, you have to communicate the offense.
You have to be able to teach it and regurgitate the same thing as what I'm saying.
And so, um, he's gained weight, he's gotten bigger, he's gotten stronger in the weight room, so that's just going to help him physically.
He understands the offense.
He's a really smart kid.
So like once he's able to go full and compete, and like he's already out there and once he's just back to his normal self, he's getting back to it.
I mean he, he's going to insert himself in that competition.
