Brent with Casey Thompson I know you’ve talked about wanting to bring him here before known him for a long time just to have him come back home in a sense after a long college career just what what’s that like for you it’s been fun you know
I know I’ve known the family for a long time and uh like like every decision I make I try to find great people uh no matter it’s a player it’s a staff member it’s a full-time coach or it’s an analyst whatever it is G try to find great people that have a
Belief system and a value system that aligns and uh you know case’s just phenomenal he’s got a again a depth of experience as a quarterback um he epitomizes what you want from a work ethic and a commitment standpoint to his craft and his teammates he’s got wonderful leadership
Traits uh that you know he’s going to immediately be able to bring some things that maybe that group of guys uh as a as a young group doesn’t already have they were all able to at least Jackson was able to learn along with the general learned from Dylan and that was a
Wonderful opportunity for them uh and now this is an opportunity for for Casey to you know plant some more seeds and uh he’s been working on getting healthy and those types of things won’t do a whole lot uh for the spring uh won’t do anything uh in the team stuff in all
Likelihood but uh bring so much to the table and just as a you know and he’s a competitor he’ll want to get out there and and have a go at it and everything has its time from that standpoint but he’s immediately able to bring a veteran presence to that room and somebody that
The younger guys can lean on uh it’s been a starter uh several uh college games 50 games plus and had a lot of success at uh you know at quarterbacking
