There's something so romantic about winter and I don't know whether that's just because

I'm a bit for homebody and I love a 5.

But I think it's just the holiday period, it's just for me, it's the most romantic period.

And I think anyone who's listened to my records will know that I'm quite a big fan of romance.

Hey everybody, I'm Keeling, Caleb K. Larritz, Senior NFL writer for the Athletic.

Welcome to QB2, the show where we talk to only my favorite players in football, the backup quarterbacks.

The backups are rarely the focus of any team.

So here on this show, this is where we celebrate them and give them their moment to tell us all of their stories and their knowledge.

QB2 is also a loose term because these guys shift up and down the death chart throughout their careers.

And today's guest knows firsthand what it's like to go viral as a backup quarterback thrust into that starting roll.

Last season, he became a jet fan favorite when he grew up for 405 yards and three touchdowns and upset the Bengals in week 8.

He was named the ASC offensive player of the week and in that win, he became the only quarterback in the NFL to throw up with 400 yards and three touchdowns.

In his first career start, the jet even sent his jersey to the pro football hall of fame.

He was drafted in the fifth round by the Cowboys in 2018 and he joined the Jet's practice by the following season.

He was actually the catalyst for my unnatural interest in backup quarterbacks because when he took the field last season, everybody was like,

who is this guy?

So welcome to the show, Mike, Fing White.

How are you, Mike?

Good. How are you? Quite an introduction.

I know it's always fun to write these introductions because, you know, as I said before, like you guys are rarely the focus.

So you never get to hear all of your career achievements and where you've been summed up and one paragraph like that.
