Next Thursday.

Yeah.

Dude, you're on the cover of Madden.

Yeah, man.

It's, it's childhood dream.

It's really cool to be able to be on such a historic game and have such a historic moment,

but also do it for the first time with such a historic organization program that I'm with.

So I'm really excited, really grateful, and hopefully it can be on this cover at some point

again.

We just got a chance to see you watch some of the video.

What was that like watching all that unfold?

Yeah.

A bunch of hours that came together to turn out to a short film. I just, you know, I asked them. I said, is this normally how y'all roll out the Madden? And he said no. And so I'm really great for being a part of it. Super excited and I can't wait for the world to see it. You said before you were drafted that you tend to create history and you like to re-wraign history. How does that fit into this? It fits in. It fits in perfectly. It's a part of it. It's another stepping stone for me. It's another thing to tell me to keep going and keep striving for these goals that a lot of people say I won't be able to do. A lot of people, you know, frown upon me or this and that. You know, all that doesn't matter. Only matters is the guys in the locker room coaches. And then, you know, my family, my support system, supporting me. Who do you play Madden with? And do you play as yourself? Yeah, yeah, yeah, myself. Now that I'm in the league, before I was in the league, it was all different teams. Whoever had the best players, because you obviously wanted the best shot to win. And so at this point now it's myself. With the Jordan inspired cover, how did you provide that input and do you feel like you had to balance a line of that's a little bold

obviously to go after one of the most iconic yeah um that's that's position i want to be in but

i also wanted to pay respect to MJ that was more of what it was it was more of a respecting

bringing retro back not letting people forget that and and and and doing it on on my side of the world of football and so paying respect to that

and him and what he was able to do in Chicago and just honestly wanted to bring that that energy

that vibe back and I think you know we're on a track to do that and we've got to keep winning

games that was your idea to yeah the skyline part of it was my idea they wanted the jump the jump

thing just because they saw it in games and stuff but But the skyline thing, just to, like I said, pay respect to MJ and what he was able to do here in Chicago. And all I've heard about, obviously, since I've been here. And so I want to get that energy going, like I said. Caleb, as fun as all of this says, how do you compartmentalize that and know that you need to keep working again? Yeah. Yeah. It's like I said, it's a small stepping stone. It's just another thing that I set out these big goals, I set out these dreams, and it's another small stepping stone to tell me to keep going that I'm going in the right direction and things like that. I'm in the position I want to be in and I got the people around me from coach to teammates

and like I said, my support system to also remind me to keep going just because this isn't,

this wasn't the end-all be-all goal for me.
