Friday edition of PFT Live at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. It is quarterback day and the first victim at the desk before he does his press conference. Man, we're warming him up. So we're going to get him ready. We're going to pepper him with the toughest, most probing questions. Garrett Nussmeyer, of LSU, is with us. Actually, we're just going to have some fun. We're just messing around.

Let's do it.

Appreciate you guys for having me.

You know, we know it's a long week for you guys, and so we try to give you 10 minutes, just kind of let's screw around, have some fun and get to know each other. Let's do it. Let's do it, absolutely. Nuss bus? That is the nickname, I guess

Actually, people used to call my dad that when he was OC at University of Washington. And so I don't know if that's how it resurfaced or if it just kind of came up again. Yeah. No, I mean, hey, it's cool. I like it. So I guess we're rocking with it. So the offense was Nuss Bus and you were Nuss Bus. Yes, sir. Nuss Bus was running the Nussbus.

My name's Dan Chris.

I like it. I like you. Go ahead. You're an old man. You're old. You're really old. You have, but you know what? It's funny. this week he's starting to realize he's getting old and it's great to watch it because i can just sit here and say hey i've come to terms of it a long time ago he's starting to go through that thing

dad was uh back he's getting old and it's great to watch it because I can just sit here and say hey I've come to

terms of it a long time ago he's starting to go through that thing dad was a backup quarterback in the NFL what's the biggest thing you learned from him that's helped your career as a quarterback yeah I mean he's helped me through through so much you know just one just having him to be able to lean on throughout my entire career and you know he's been through all of this and and seeing so many different things over the years as a coach as well.

And so growing up, always just wanted to be like him always wanted to play in the NFL just like him and so it's just so cool now to be able to go through it myself and you know want to have him to be able to kind of help me go through this and kind of give me a blueprint of how things go and so it's been a huge help and so I'm so grateful for that relationship. You got an interesting story, right? I mean, last year, if you came out, people thought maybe you'd be a first round pick. Yep. Right? And then you have this year, I know you fought through some injuries. I knew some people down there at your school who told me you were dealing with an oblique injury and all that. and it wasn't really publicized, so I give you credit for sucking it up and playing it there.

But... down there at your school who told me you were dealing with an oblique injury and all that, and it wasn't really publicized, so I give you credit for sucking it up and putting it there. But your stock fell. So how do you kind of compartmentalize that in your brain here a little? Yeah, well, for one, you know, my faith is a big part of who I am. You know, that's my foundation, and that's what, you know, keeps me true to myself. and so, you know, leaning on that throughout the rough times of the year. But, you know, I didn't pay too much attention to the stock. You know, I had an opportunity to go back to LSU and win a national championship. And that was, you know, always my dream. And so for me, you know, obviously I had to entertain and do my due diligence last offseason and kind of check out the situation. but having that opportunity to go back and play for LSU one more time and hopefully what we thought to try and win a national
