Tika, I did want your opinion. I wanted to talk to you more so today, given your professional athletic career.

You know, Juan Soto's leadership, Juan Soto's leadership is going to become a focus this year as, you know, the older vets left during the offseason, and now it's year two as a met.

And Lindor is hurt, and who knows how long he's going to be out.

Bingo. And I was going to and who knows how long he's going to be out. Bingo.

And I was going to ask about this because, you know, we look at Juan Soto because he hit the

ground running in his career.

And we think he's older than he is because he's been around with these numbers forever.

But he's only 27.

And this injury to Lindor has kind of propelled him into this leadership

role, and I'm going to make a comparison here and then ask a question. It reminds me of when

Jalen Brunson was able to take over the Knicks locker room when Julius Randall went down.

And ironically enough, both of them were in their 27-year-old season. And so to me,

you know, you look at Lindor in Washington, he had guys like Schwerber and Harper and Scherzer,

in San Diego, Machado, and a lot of high-paid veterans, the Yankees, Judge, Stanton Rizzo,

and last year the Mets that were already here. You know, does Juan Soto now have the opportunity because of the injury to Lendor to take

this leadership role that he's never had?

And I know people will knock him because he's so talented.

But, Tiki, for you, when did you feel comfortable taking a leadership role?

Like as a younger player in the NFL, when did you feel comfortable taking a leadership role? Like as a younger player in the NFL, when did you feel comfortable taking a leadership role?

And then adding the young talent?

You know what?

It's such a good question, Kendrick, because Evan and I speculated about this after he signed that big deal.
