Hey, man, is it anything that you miss about playing football?

Because you know, you left a year or two, too early.

But, you know, we ain't go, you know, we ain't go fault you on that, you know,

even though we tried to get you to stay DeAngelo and myself personally.

But, you know, is there anything that you miss?

I miss the biggest thing that you miss.

I miss the locker room.

I miss the locker room.

I miss being around, you know, like we talked about, you're around your teammates way

more than your family.

And, you know, you become close to everybody.

We kind of all go through at that age and stage in life, everybody goes through, you know, you become close to everybody. We kind of all go through at that age and stage in life.

Everybody goes through, you know, kind of monumental moments in your life,

whether it be getting married, having kids, starting a family, like all these things we go through together.

And then, you know, kind of when you're retired, everybody goes their separate ways.

And you don't get to talk to each other or see each other as often as you do. So I miss going to the way room and seeing Debo every morning and, you know, being in the locker room and playing whatever, just hanging out. Just being around the guy. That's what I miss the most.

And there's nowhere else in the world that you can go find that. So that's the normal answer that we get. So when you say that, I'm like this, yes. It's the locker room. It's a special place because it's, and all those guys have been through probably the same thing to get to where they are, shared experiences, same goals. We're all the same people. Yeah. Essentially at the end of the day, the core of who we are is the same for the most part.

And that's what builds the bonds.

But yeah, when I walked in the last day to meet the coaches and retire, you know, to let them know the news, first person I see when I go through the door, Debo.

Indiangelo, yeah. He said, what are you doing here? So what are you doing here? They knew, they knew, Debo, you know, was doing? He was talking about he retiring, like, for what? We're like, for what? What are you talking about? Where are you going? What? He was it going? I didn't came back to this. What is you talking about? Were you leaving? Was it like a body, was it a body situation, Heath, you think? Were you just kind of ready, ready to go? It was a little bit of everything. I knew it was time. Maybe it was a pride thing because I knew I couldn't play the way I wanted to or expect about it out of myself. I knew I could still
