0:00.0	It seemed like you and Cam had a nice connection going on today at practice.
0:06.0	What's the process been like with Cam, just getting to know him on and off the field?
0:10.0	I think it's been that. We're still just trying to get to know each other.
0:17.0	You know, just like I am with all my new teammates, but specifically with, you know,
0:23.2	a guy that, you know, distributes to football, you know, just kind of getting to know each other
0:29.0	as people on the field, off the field, and, you know, trying to build a rapport. That's what I'm doing also with Hoy and Stid, but those
