Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar, here, along with

Andrew Kramer of the Star Tribune. And yes, we are inside TCO Performance Center because we just got

done listening to Kwayze Adafl Mensa and Kevin O'Connell talk before training camp in their pre-camp press conference. So we're going to talk about what we heard, what we didn't hear, and what we expect to see in training camp. Andrew Kramer, we are freaking back, my friend. We're so back. That's all we got to say.

Obviously, he was not comparing it skill set-wise, size, arm strength, or accomplishment.

His point was that he was in Buffalo when Josh Allen

just started his career. And he was so impressed by the way he handled himself as the leader,

and he thought he saw a lot of the same things. And what I wrote down from Kevin O'Connell,

sells the veterans because they recognize when a quarterback as a leader has a natural presence.

And the other thing that O'Connell said was that they feel like they have done a great job

of putting other leaders around J.J. McCarthy. So he does not have to be this entire franchise
