As we continue on, a media road, I got my man, Carson Swessinger, just got defensive rookie of the year last night over there at the NFL Honors.

How was going to the NFL honors?

I mean, in my mind, I always wanted to dress up and win an award, and then there you are doing it. It was pretty cool. I think I probably could have dressed better. That's not, you know, my forte. But, you know, it's cool walking the red carpet, seeing a bunch of different guys and, you know, growing up watching the NFL so much, so cool to be in that moment. and then to be able to win an award, it is pretty special. Right.

I'm coming from yucla good old ucla down in los angeles the baby

bears bruin's i was a cow so like i've always i've always had that good dig i don't know if i lost

a little bit of a little bit of a i, it's been a rough 10 years.

We had a new head coach for a reason, as you guys did last year.

Yep, uh-huh, yeah.

New head coach.

We're in the same position in college.

We're hoping.

You led your team in tackles this season.

I mean, you had a stellar rookie year, clearly why you had a defensive rookie year.

What do you look forward to in this first offseason, true offseason? Yeah, well, the first thing is just getting a little rest. You know, that rookie year is pretty long. Bro. You go from your college season to Combine to OTAs to, you know, playing the longest season of your life. So we have working in a week. Exactly. So being able to get a little rest of it will be

nice and then just being able to build going into next year. And, you know, I think we got a,

a great defense that we showed all year and just building off that. Absolutely. Any rookie duties

that might be peculiar to your team and not maybe not mine? I don't know about peculiar. You know,

you have the rookie dinners. You have to bring the snacks, decorate the room. You know, I think I... All holidays are just Christmas. See, we were supposed to do all holidays, but sometimes you, you know, got lost and then it ended up, we got a Christmas tree there, you know, had some, had some good snacks. I will say, I was, I was proud of the snack game I brought, but other than that,

Zebra cakes? Don't even know. What was the heaviest rotation of snack? Oh, any hot chips. I go there and get three, three. Oh, yeah. Three just so those, you know, variety packs of just eight different hot chips. Yeah, okay. And just set those up. They were happy. Yeah, we were zebra cake heavy this year.

Oh, yeah.
