0:23.7	I mean, it's, it's talking, but it is fun, man. I do want to jump in and talk about everything we saw and heard in Indianapolis after a week at the combine. But before we do that, I do want to get your take on the value of it still.
0:39.3	Your thoughts on the participation level from both the player standpoint, as well as from a team attendance standpoint.
0:47.7	But just your overall takeaway of where things are right now with the combine.
