Transcript

00:00I was driving on the highway, and I don't know if it was safe or not, but I gave out

00:08a loud yell and scream of just excitement, of just, you know, it brings a bunch of clarity

00:15to the offseason.

00:16It brings a bunch of different things to the offseason, and I'm really excited about obviously

00:21the Bears and this org and being able to make this happen and keep Ben Johnson as our coach

00:26for a long time.

00:27I could see the competitiveness in his eyes and the fire in his eyes, and it was really

00:33cool seeing that, because it was actually the first time that we talked, I know.

00:36After games, I tried to go find him and shake his hand at least, after our games and things

00:42like that.

00:43I think he ran off.

00:44I think he knew it was better not to probably shake my hand after the game and those moments,

00:49but yeah, no, I'm super excited for this organization and everything to come.

00:54The prank call.

00:55The prank call was great PR, but no.

00:58Yeah, so actually Ted and all of them, once we got off the phone, they sent me his number,

01:03so I knew it was the right number at that time, and he actually FaceTimed me, but I

01:10was driving, but he FaceTimed me and then sent me a picture of his face, because he

01:13also heard of the prank call, but like I said, I think the prank call was great PR.

01:19I don't feel no ill will towards anything with that, so I'm super excited, like I said.

01:27Being able to bring the accountability, being able to bring the discipline, like you said,

01:31up there on the podium.

01:33If guys are stepping out of line or not being in line, and not just with him and things

01:37like that, but with the team, and you're not doing the right things, you got to be put

01:46out on blast in front of the whole team, because that shows the accountability.

01:50That shows the discipline that he talked about up there.
