00:00 >> Do you feel like breaking one as a returner is in the cards for you this year?
00:03 >> Yeah, it'll happen.
00:04 It'll happen.
00:05 I'm gonna get one.
00:06 >> All right. >> I'm gonna get one.
00:06 >> Thank you. >> You're letting us down.
00:08 >> Yep.
00:09 >> Which game?
00:11 >> Hopefully the Oregon, I wanna do with the Oregon game.
00:12 >> [LAUGH] >> I wanna do with the Oregon game, so.
00:15 >> Kind of like Big Ten present?
00:17 >> Yeah.
00:17 Yeah.
00:18 >> How do you feel about that?
00:19 I know you're not gonna probably be around to see it, but how do you feel?
00:23 Is it kind of mind boggling to you to see all this?
00:26 >> Yeah, it's kind of crazy that the pack is like kind of dying out.
00:29 But I mean, the Big Ten with Ohio State and like what, Michigan and all them?
00:33 That's big time football, so.
00:36 >> Jermey tried to flee it, but it keeps chasing him.
00:38 >> It keeps chasing Jermey, yeah.
00:39 But nah, that's dope.
00:40 Just playing Ohio State and all them, the big teams.
00:43 So it'll definitely get a lot of recognition.
00:44 >> So maybe you will come back another season?
00:46 >> Yeah, maybe, maybe.
00:48 >> Maybe.
00:48 >> Maybe.
00:49 >> Jalen Rump told me he's got this whiteboard with the specific
00:52 statistical goals that he's shooting for.
00:57 That he sees those things every day.
00:59 >> Right.
01:00 >> Do you have a similar thing for your personal goals?
01:04 Do you have personal goals?
01:05 Are they statistical?
01:07 Are they more ethereal than that?
01:09 >> I have, so on my mirror in my bathroom, I have, on the right side,
01:13 I have a whole bunch of quotes on the right side that I go by.
01:15 And on the left side, I have all the reasons why I play football.
01:18 And I mean, I really feel like, yeah, you could be a stat person, but
01:22 at the end of the day, numbers are just for individuals.
01:26 And I feel like if I do enough within myself to get better and
01:30 to play how I play, then I'm gonna help my team, so.
01:33 >> What's the most meaningful quote to you right now?
01:35 >> You might not understand it now, but you will later.
01:37 >> Why?
01:40 >> Because there's a lot of things that happened to me, and
01:43 there's a lot of situations I was in, so I didn't really understand it.
01:46 And then at the end, it all came full circle, and
01:48 I totally understand why it happened, just to help me grow, so.
