00:00To nuke out, especially, what do you hope to see out of that young crowd of receivers?
00:03Yeah, it may be a blessing in disguise.
00:06I mean, some of that happened with Lemon was out last spring,
00:09and we ended up pumping a bunch of those reps into other people.
00:12And I think that there were some guys that benefited from that.
00:16And so that's what needs to happen now.
00:19Obviously, we're going to have some new faces in there.
00:21And it puts so many reps on guys like KDW and Tron and Luke Weaver and Terrell
00:30and get returners like Corey Sims, Roe Ison, Mosley, Zach.
00:34I mean, all these guys, they're going to get a ton of reps, and they all need them.
00:38And so obviously, we'll get to nuke back.
00:40And then receiver is really kind of the one position where we've got a couple of guys in the class
00:45that aren't here yet as well.
00:47So the receiver position will feel a little bit different, certainly, when we get to fall.
00:50But what a phenomenal opportunity for all those other guys to develop
00:54and to take advantage of those reps.
00:56And we're going to need that.
00:56We're going to need – it looked like last year we had some guys come in and really step up.
01:00We had some returners that got better.
01:02We had guys like Tanook that came in and made an impact.
01:05We're going to need that to happen again.
01:07And so you never want somebody out, but you – honestly, I kind of like the way it's setting up
01:12because we can't pump all these reps into these guys.
