It is our pleasure at the combine to bring in an actual player who, Dylan, we all think that you are going to be a Chicago bear.

0:07.9

You belong in Chicago. You grew up in Indiana. The bear's probably going to move to Indiana.

0:12.4

Actually, they're not doing that. Let's not talk about that. But congratulations on your success at Purdue and then in Oregon.
