| 0:00.0 | This is Reception, Reception, the show now. James Cole and Matt Harmon. |
| 0:06.2 | We'll start with Isaac Tesla, because as you mentioned, his highlight package is incredible. |
| 0:10.2 | Like, if you just watched his highlights on YouTube, amazing stuff, you know, |
| 0:14.1 | I mean, we're talking one-handed grab. A lot of touchdown grabs for Tesla down the field. |
