Guaranteed human.

Ben, I'll ask you this. Ben, do you, I see that you play basketball in high school.

Yes.

You are a bucket.

27 points.

I see that you average a game, your senior year.

You played wide receiver until your senior year.

You only played quarterback your senior year in high school.

Yeah, I mean, I played as a, I played a little bit as a freshman.

So my freshman year, I played, I got in the first four games of the season,

I played three snaps, and it was the hold extra points.

Okay.

And so we were two and two, and we had a pretty good athlete at quarterback. And so the coach was like, man, let's try and put him a receiver and put Ben at quarterback. We know Ben can throw a little bit, whatever. Because you know, like early on, it's like just put the best athletes at quarterback. Yes, yes. Because they can run. They can do all the stuff. And so then it was, we were two and two.

And the coach was like, let's try Ben at quarterback and this guy, wide receiver. We ended up winning the next, what, six games, whatever it was. And one in one. And then my sophomore year, I played JV. Like our whole class played JV. So I didn't play varsity at all. And I played I played quarterback that year and had like our like our my, where I grew up, there were three middle schools that all went to one high school. So everybody was talking about like our class. Yeah. This class is going to be like a good one. So we all played JV ball. And I swear our coach, we went like 10 and O or whatever, how many games y'all play. And our coach, like, I swear he was like, we were his human PlayStation, like Madden game, right? Like, he's like, drawing stuff up. Like, he's like, and we were scoring 40, 50 points on people because, you know, most of TV teams are like, the players that aren't good enough to play varsity. For sure. So we were blowing people out. And then my junior year, the coach's son was a year older than me. And I just wanted to play. And he was a quarterback.

And so I said, man, just put me on the field. So we were blowing people out. And then my junior year, the coach's son was a year older than me. And I just wanted to play.

And he was a quarterback. And so I said, man, just put me on the field somewhere. And so I played receiver. That's what I'm, okay. I had to figure out what happened, Ben, because then I go, look, I know one thing. I was nice at quarterback in high school. I do for 2,700 yards, my senior year, and 38 touchdowns.

So you put your athletes at quarterback. So I thought I was like, man, I'm going to be a quarterback. I look at your stats. And I was like, man, let me go see what Ben did I. For your senior year, you do for 4,000 yards and 54 touchdowns. I was like, okay, I was not that good. We had a lot of fun.

I threw eight and one game. You, that's what I'm, yes. I'm looking at it. I threw 38 and I was like,

oh, I went crazy. No, like my stats are going to be around Ben's. I said, oh, oh, I thought that's

crazy work. We had fun. You were Cleveland Brown. How you thought any of your steps would be something like? I'm saying, coming out of high school football, deep. It don't matter. The pedigree is still there. Like, what are you talking about? The man playing quarterback. You're playing corner.
