Reaction to Jesse Minter’s Press Conference at NFL Owners Meetings

Welcome into the lounge presented by Draftkings. I'm Garrett Downing here with Clifton Brown and we are sitting at the

Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona for the NFL Annual Owners meetings. We just had a chance to hear from Ravens head coach Jesse

Mentor. He met with the media for more than 30 minutes today during the AFC coaches breakfast covered a lot of ground in that

conversation. And so we're going to break it all down based on what we heard from him. I thought he came kind of a vision for the

upcoming spring, summer and fall going into the season as well as his perspective on some key guys on this team. So Clif, just big picture level, what stood out to you

after hearing from Jesse? Well, he's been a lot of time over the past weeks since he's become head coach thinking about how he wants to lead into this season. And this is a huge

offseason for him. His first year as a head coach working with new players, putting in a new offensive system, a new defensive system, new special team

system. So there's a lot to cover over the months beginning up to week one. How do you want to do that? There's been again, a lot of thought between the

coaching staff. How they're going to do that? And now they'll finally get to work with some of the players and implement what they've been talking about for

two months. So it's part of the offseason process for first year coach, but he sounds really on the handle of how he wants to do it. And

everything to me that Jesse Minner says so far since taking a job has sounded really well thought out that you can just tell that he really

spends a lot of time thinking about the process of teaching and coaching completely agree with that. Also should mention that if you want to listen to the full press conference, you can

head over to the Ravens press pass podcast. It's posted there in its entirety. You want to watch it. It's also posted on our app or website or YouTube channel. So a lot of places to watch that full press comments and listen to it. And I

I agree with you every every time that he talks, it's clear that he has a vision for how he wants to operate, how he wants to build the team, the core tenants, the principles that he wants for his team. And he's really he really has been preparing for this moment. And he

described the next big item on the calendar is Monday, which Monday is when the offseason program begins. It's the start of the voluntary program. Players are back in the building. And he talked about how it's been a sprint for the coaching staff since being hired to get everything in

position so that when the players get there, they can hit the ground running. And there's there was a lot of talk today, you know, reporters asked him about expectations regarding attendance is the market to be there. What's what do you expect in that front. And he didn't make any commitments on that, which makes sense because it's a voluntary workout. It's up to the players whether or not they want to come, but something he has said repeatedly, which I, which I really love is that he's talked about how he wants this coaching staff to create an environment where players feel like this is where I want to be.

I want to be part of this. And so they've been working hard to get ready to create that environment where the players get there on April 6. So they feel like this is the place where I can help me this will help me become my best right. And it's not all always what happens when they're in a classroom doing weight work on the field.

It's the relationship part like hanging out over lunch, talking football, talking to the coaches about what they want to see from them and how they're going to put together this offense and defense and special teams.

And this particular Ravens team, the 2020 16 hasn't even been formed yet. And it's in the process of being formed and new relationships are being built. And a completely almost completely new coaching staff is building relationships with new players.

So it's not just about what happens on the field and in the weight room. It's about getting guys to work together, getting guys to enjoy the process and coming into the armed performance center and spending the day there and looking forward to the next day.

That's the atmosphere he's trying to create. He taught when he got the job, Justin Miller, about being a connector. This is part of the process of connecting the Baltimore Ravens in 2026 to be the best team possible in all three phases.

He also said that he really feels like those relationships are formed through face to face contact. And I mean, that's so true. Anybody can speak to that. And he's been on the job for a few months.

Players have been scattered all around the country. Some guys have been in. Some guys come in for a day. And so you've had a chance to meet with them. He's, of course, talked with guys over the phone or on Zoom or via text.

But like, there is something different when you're when you're the weight room together, when you're in a classroom together, when you have lunch together. And that's what he's looking forward to building.

And I think that that is going to be really important time. Like, this is going to be one is going to be his first team meeting. And there's like steps to the whole thing. There's the mandatory many campuses, the first full team meeting. And there's training campuses, the first training camp. Like, there's a lot of steps in the process.

But there is something significant about him stepping in front of the room for the first time as a new coach and saying, here's what we want. Here are the expectations that we have here are the standards that we expect. Here's the program that we're looking to build.

And here's how I want to help accomplish that. And like, that's all going to be part of what takes place during this off season program. And then there's the actual football piece, which is, okay, let's start go go to work and implementing this offense.

This off season program, part of it is what happens in the weight room eventually during this first phase, but not on the field at all, eventually get to the field.

But they're in the classroom. And I think the client, I honestly think the classroom piece really for maybe the majority of the off season program is the most important piece.

Classroom and connections because that's where this, this team is going to learn the offense, the defense, and then also build this, build the relationships with this new coaching staff. And I think that's going to be imperative.

Absolutely. I mean, again, it's a new system, offense, defense, special teams, play callers on both sides. Jesse's going to play a call of plays on defense.

First time he's done that as a Ravens head as a Ravens head coach, Declan Doyle, offense coordinator, first time as an offensive play caller period. And so how quickly they can teach the system, get guys a feel comfortable in it, play fast.

And then also get feedback from the players about their suggestions and where they feel most comfortable. I mean, when you have players like Hamilton, Lamar Jackson, Derek Henry, when they say to you, they look, you know, this sounds good.

But if we did it this way, I think it'd be even better. You listen. So it's a collaborative effort. This is the beginning of that process.

Yeah, some of those things are, I think, still in flux and up in the air. A couple examples of that to your point, like one of them is captains. The way that John Harbor always did captains was they did a game by game.

And so there was never outside of actually the playoff games in 2024 where they were the captains patches. There was captains basically appointed for the playoffs that season.

Generally, it's just all been game by game. And they've never had the captain patches. And that's not been something that's been voted on. And Jesse said that's something they're still talking about, just as an example, another example, joint practices indicated there's probably some appetite to do joint practices and likes aspects of them.

But nothing set in stone on that practice times. Is it the afternoon? Is it the morning? Not set in stone yet. But I thought it was kind of interesting. He said they might move it around a little bit.

It's not like every day with practice into 10, but they might have a little bit of, it might be a little fluid.

It's made the point, hey, you play games at different times. So why not practice at different times? So all that type of, it's not like the most exciting stuff to talk about, but it's important. And those are the kinds of decisions you have to make as a head coach. And they're working through all that.

Absolutely. And it speaks to the point that, hey, this is new. This is not how it's going to be in all phases for 18 years when you have the same head coach.

Although things change from year to year, there are basic things that don't change because the coaching staff feels that that's the best way to do things.

This is the slate slate has been wiped clean. And the new head coach is coming in and putting his stamp on how the rain is going to do things.

So yes, if we'll be interested to see if practices, do they move from the afternoon, do they start at different times? If he does join practices, how many?

Who with preseason, how much do guys play daughter starters, just put in bubble wrapped a week one or is it flexibility with that?

There's a hundred different things you could go through, but all of them will be different than what John Harball did because Jesse Minder is his own head coach.

He may do some of the same things, but his stamp on this team is going to be different than it has been for the past few years.

Like, I don't get the sense at all that his way of operating is, well, how'd you do it here before? Like, he's not just like, well, let's just do what we've always done. That's not the way he's thinking about it.

He's thinking about, here's what I think are the best ways to operate. And this is how we're going to do it. Could be the same. Could be different.

And that's the case for a million different decisions that a head coach has to make something else that he said, and he didn't, didn't run from this at all, but talked about the importance of playing well at home.

Ravens just didn't play well at home last year, three and six, not used to that. It's a great game day atmosphere. The energy there is through the roof. And the Ravens had some real letdowns at home.

And you could go through the games. I don't need to go down memory lane here from last season, but there was some big disappointments last year.

And he talked about how playing well at home is a huge priority for this team. And good teams, that's what they do. Good teams take care of businesses at home, and that's what they're focused on.

Right. And that's in all sports. If you don't protect home turf, then that's not a rest of speed for winning championships.

That has been something the Ravens have done very well in their history, but did not do at all last year. And so I thought it was also interesting that he's looking at the process of leading up to home games.

Is it, you know, where we stayed, how we went about things, the practice leading up to the game, whatever it is, he sounds like he's going to take a look at all of that because, yeah, I mean the Ravens were really good on the road last year.

It's the same players, but it was a flip in the history compared to how it has been in the past. So yes, he very clearly has thought about that is looking at that. And there may be some changes there as far as doing things a little bit differently to help the Ravens perform at their best in front of great atmosphere at MNC Bank Stadium.

Again, it goes back to the point that it's not just, well, let's just do what we've always done like it and also it's not looking at it like it's it's more specific than just hey, we got to be good at home. It's not just saying it.

It's like, well, let's look at everything. Well, what were the factors and was it just a flute like there's a process to look through all these different factors that go into playing well.

And that's what he and the coaching staff are doing. And so I think that like there's an awareness of need to be better. Let's start there at home.

And then what's the process to get to that point and it's not just as simple as like lock in, you know, play better at home. It's more it's more detail than that.

Absolutely.

So let's take a quick break. When we come back, we'll dive into some of the specific players that he talked about and the vision that he has for them as well as some of the competition for starting jobs.

And we're going to see over the course of this summer.

You're listening to the lounge podcast. We are coming to you from the sea geek studio. We want to mention our partners are draft King Sportsbook.

They are an official sports betting partner of the Baltimore Ravens, draft King Sportsbook. The crown is yours.

So a big focus for this team from a roster, but his standpoint is the offense line. Obviously the Ravens lost out of the linear bomb to the Raiders. Big loss.

They also are looking to replace potentially both starting guards.

John Simpson comes in. He's going to be the starting left guard by all expectations, right guard up for grabs.

Have the starting tackles and Roger Rosa Garden and Ronnie Stanley, but the line needs to play better than it did last year.

And he talked about the hiring of Twain Ledford offense line coach and said that they looked that was one of the first guys that I heard when I got the job.

Even before the offensive coordinator, like he started there knowing the importance of building up that offensive line.

And so I think that he clearly is putting a premium on getting really good line play and Ledford is going to be critical in that equation.

Right. Both coach mentor and Eric DeCosta have spoken very highly about Coach Ledford that he's going to be a key piece to what they're trying to build as far as the offensive line.

Not just this year, but long term. And definitely the Ravens with their young offensive lineman, where would be Henry Jones, Corey Bullock, where we go down the line.

We have young pieces they believe had a potential to develop into good players. We've seen the Ravens in the past develop offensive lineman and turn them into good players.

And they've gone on to other players, places and done well. And now John Simpson, one of those guys, he's come back.

So yes, offensive line to me is crucial because you've got a quarterback in Lamar and Jackson.

Running back like Derek Henry, if you know if Lamar has time to throw and if Derek Henry has running lanes to run through, they'll take care of the rest and offensive percolate.

So also is always interesting as we all know that there could be other pieces added to the offensive line.

They could take an offensive lineman in the first round. We've seen that in potential mild drags of drafts of Ravens being linked offensive lineman.

So ledford may have probably will have even more offensive young offensive lineman to work with later than he does now.

How quickly those guys develop is going to be key to how well the Ravens do this year.

Yeah, no doubt. I think you talk about the center position. Ravens are looking for a new starting center.

They've added a couple of guys. They added Danny Pinter. They added Javon Gwynn, who is previously with the Falcons, where Coach Ledford was previously.

And so certainly you believe he would vouch for him. He was a backup there primarily, but had a chance to see him every day in practice.

So potential. So they brought him in to be part of that competition. Cory Bullock, you mentioned, former undrafted prospect, Maryland player who earned his spot on the 53 last year.

He's in the mix. And then Jesse Mentor did not rule out adding to the equation. So he didn't commit to the fact that, hey, our starting center is on the team right now.

But he also didn't say that he's not, you know, so it could be either way one of those guys could win the competition.

He he's stressed that like that competition is decided that battle is decided once you get to training camp.

Right now it's more about learning and teaching and getting a feel for the guys. And then that battle gets gets played out this summer.

And then at right guard to the thing that's interesting about the offensive line is like you need better play there overall.

You have to replace Linda bomb, but there's also these intriguing prospects who are developing that you have confidence in.

Emory Jones is an example of this and this like it speaks to the importance of doing ledford in developing him.

He's going from year one to year two showed some flashes last year played a little bit, not a ton, but the Ravens drafted him in the third round with a belief that he can come in and be a highly productive player for the team.

And so ledford is going to be tasked with helping to elevate his game as well as the entire offensive line.

But in hearing Jesse talk about Emory Jones just to move to right guard.

It seems like they are really excited about his potential to step into that spot potentially and play at a high level.

Yeah and who knows a part of reason why he seemed you know warm to the idea of joint practices is that you know these pads on competitions will help them determine who's going to be the starting offensive line and how the rotation is going to go.

It's really hard sometimes to totally see how much offensive line is developing until you put the pads on.

So the preseason games are going to be important but also the padded practices and joint practices against other competitions.

That's really sometimes where you can see God step up and shine.

So I think the competition offensive line obviously is going to be one that we're going to be watching all summer to see who's playing well, to see who's growing, to see how particularly at right guard.

Who's winning the competition because yes at some point decisions are going to have to be made and it appears to be a job along with the starting center to jobs that are wide open.

Yeah no doubt those two spots are going to be like must see I must see TV this summer in terms of how they're coming together.

A couple other guys that he mentioned that I want to talk about.

One is Rashad Bateman and disappointing year for Bateman last year didn't have a kind of production that he had the previous season and that he and the Ravens hoped for.

And Jesse's stress I've got a lot of confidence in Rashad Bateman and he believes that he can get back to the player that he is.

And that's what that's what Jesse talked about is him having a bounce back season playing at a high level and really being a difference maker for this offense.

So I think with the way the Ravens are looking at this receiving court looks they flowers is is one of the best receivers in football and now the belief is there that Bateman is going to be able to bounce back kind of get back to the player that he was back in that 24 season.

And and with those guys leading the way the Ravens believe in this receiving court.

Right I mean you look at Rashad Bateman in 2024 you saw what he can do it's not a belief that he can do what he's done it.

So the Ravens want to get him back to that level production and beyond in this year knowing that he's capable of doing that.

So yes the one receiver is interesting to see what the Ravens do in the draft.

Do they go why receiver high there's a possibility may.

And hearing from him it did not seem like I did not come away from it being like oh man the Ravens need to add a receiver high.

No.

Like that's not what like when I heard from him and talked about how his confidence in Bateman.

Of course a belief in Zay likes to want to his Walker.

I wasn't like okay the Ravens are taking receiver first shot.

I kind of felt like I mean I crossed receiver off.

Well maybe you're right but don't put too much into it.

Not not to that draft night.

That might be what they want you to believe.

Yeah it might be what it's all it's all part of the game.

But speaking of the players that they have.

Yes they certainly believe and know that Rashad Bateman can be a big piece of the puzzling.

Also thought it was interesting too.

Jesse Minton.

Look we know he's a defensive guy has been a defensive coordinator.

But now as a head coach he is really more involved in evaluating offensive players than he's ever been.

Before and he comes at it and with a defensive perspective in.

Hey I've had to try and stop all these guys.

And when I think he looks at Rashad Bateman you know when he looks at Zay flowers.

He's looking at them is like you know what these guys are hard to stop.

I've had to try and stop these guys and they present problems.

So even though you're a defensive coach as someone who needs to stop offensive players.

It can give you a lot of insight into what you're looking for in an offensive player from a defensive perspective.

So that's those are the tools that he's putting into play.

And yes when he talked about Rashad Bateman whether the regums are going to draft or why I receive a high or not.

You did get the impression that yes I have every confidence that he can be a player who's a big piece of offensive puzzle.

Yeah I think that it's going to be interesting to see how he puts his fingerprints on the evaluation process.

Like Eric DeCosta controls the draft and he's the one that ultimately is going to make the pick.

But but Jesse's voice without question carries weight.

And I remember at the combine actually Joe or T talked about Jesse the GM of the charge of course was with the regums for a long time.

And he talked about Jesse being a really good evaluator.

And so in addition to what he is as a coach and building up scheme and connecting with players also a really good evaluator.

So I think the regums are going to trust his instincts and thoughts on what he thinks in players.

Certainly from a defensive standpoint but also just from an identity standpoint what he wants in players.

And that'll be important and I think that he's enjoying that process of looking at these guys and helping.

He actually said that when he was here the first time that's where he really learned to evaluate.

That was pretty formative for him in learning what it takes to be an evaluator.

That was part of his that was part of his job here as a young coach the first go round.

Another guy they talked about not really a question of the role that he's going to have but is Derek Henry.

We know what he's going to do for this offense.

He's been awesome the last two seasons 1900 yards two years ago nearly led the league in rushing last year.

He just keeps rolling and I expect the same and hearing from Jesse I think from an identity standpoint for what they want to be offensively.

There is going to be a heavy workload on 22 and he is going to be a like they want to be a team like they want to be a team that can from an identity standpoint.

Run the ball control the clock where teams down that is who they are and that is what they want to be.

Right. Close and close games out you know finish the job turn the lights out on teams.

Derek Henry is a type of guy he can turn the lights out on the opponent.

And yes the two years he's had with the Ravens I think even though he's a great player have exceeded what people thought when the Ravens acquired him.

It was like yeah everybody knows Derek Henry is great.

It's like how long will he be great is he going to start going downhill.

You know running backs turning 30 blase blase we haven't seen any of that from Derek Henry.

And it's a lot more fun as a coach to coach Derek Henry than is to try and figure out a stop them.

And again as a defensive coach Jesse mentor knows how difficult it can be when you're facing a guy like Derek Henry.

He's going to be leading games in the fourth quarter and you're trying to get the ball back.

And even though you know he's going to get it the players on your team aren't really looking forward to tackling him.

And so that's another thing that obviously the Ravens have thought about in their desire to be a team that's better in the fourth quarter and finishing out games.

Those are two of the things we've already talked about playing better at home.

Now I'm talking about finishing games as the Ravens get if they're a good team at home and they're a good team closing teams out.

Then they're going to be playing into January and maybe into February.

That's really two of the biggest things and so they have the ability to do that.

And Jesse Minner is already thinking about okay how do I best utilize these pieces to make that happen.

Yeah completely agree.

Another guy that we haven't talked about much really at all that the Ravens ended up adding this off season.

But I think it was going to be an important piece on the defense side of the ball as safety Jalen Hawkins came from the New England Patriots.

It was a starter last year for them. They had a decent season.

They went to the Super Bowl not bad and he was a starter on that defense.

And he's coming to Baltimore and we're going to see a lot like I don't know if he's going to play 100% of the snaps but he's going to play a lot.

And him and Malachi Starks are going to be playing on the field of time and that's going to give them the flexibility to move Carl Hamilton around.

And Jesse has said many times said it again today that look at what I did last year last couple years with German James.

That's kind of the blueprint for how he's going to operate defensively with Carl Hamilton.

Similar players, total chess pieces.

And I think that Hawkins is going to allow the Ravens to do that while also being a really good player in his own right.

I thought he was pretty specific about that.

That this is what I do.

It has worked in the past.

One of the reasons they want to acquire Jalen is because he fit the scheme that Jesse wants to play and he's good at it.

So, right, when you have him with Malachi and then Carl doing Carl Hamilton things, that is a blueprint for a disruptive offense and that's the way Jesse is operating in the past.

So, yes, even though there's always going to be tweaks to what he did with the Chargers defense, that's his calling card.

Just like he's calling the plays.

He's not going to get away from calling the plays on defense because he's a head coach.

Jesse's like a guy who, yeah, he knows what he looks good in the suit. He knows, hey, this is the suit that fits me.

I'm not taking it off.

I'm going to wear it.

So, he's embracing what he's always done and Jalen definitely fits into that.

Another important player on defense might green going into his second season.

Jesse said that he really liked him coming out of the draft, evaluated him, thought that the potential was certainly there for him.

I thought Mike had a solid rookie season, but there's clearly more room to grow there.

And Jesse pointed out that with the addition of Trey Hendrickson, he's going to take a lot of eyeballs and focus on that side of the ball and that side of the lineup.

And so, then that is going to open up more opportunities, more one-on-one opportunities for Mike Green.

And he's saying that he thinks that he can really take a big jump this year.

Right. And Jesse has a track record with that, as we know, Daffa Oway.

When he went out there and the way he became immediately a productive player.

Yes, Jesse, Mike Green, he knows his potential and has a track record of getting those type of players to blossom.

Definitely having Trey Hendrickson taking eyeballs, as you said, but be the experience that Trey has.

So, when they're in the room together and when they're on a practice field together, he can, if I'm Mike Green, I'm a sponge listen to Trey Hendrickson.

He's a guy who not only has physical ability, but he's technically sound and has a lot of tools in his back.

And Trey Hendrickson is already sound of willing, that's part of the world that he sees for himself.

As a mentor, he mentioned Mike Green specifically.

So, yes, I think that Mike Green will benefit from being around Trey Hendrickson.

I think that Mike Green will benefit being in year two.

I think that Mike Green will benefit from Jesse Menor's system.

So, Mike Green, he's a really high motor guy.

He plays hard every snap.

He's not just a pass rusher. He's also can defend the run.

And I do think that, yeah, he is hungry with more experience that year one for pass rusher.

I think it's really hard, unless you're an elite elite pass rusher, to just come into the NFL and start getting double to his sex.

So, usually it doesn't work that way.

We've had a lot of guys here with the Ravens who have slowly blossomed into becoming good pass rushers.

I think Mike Green could take that path, but it really might happen next year.

And if that does, it would be great for the Ravens defense.

I think he's going to take a big jump. That's my thought.

I just think that with Jesse as the head coach, with Anthony Weaver as a defensive coordinator, with Trey Hendrickson on the other side, going into year two,

I just think he's going to take a big jump.

And last year, he played, he played probably even more than a lot of people expected when he was drafted, in part because the Ravens ended up trading away.

And so, he ends up playing really a three-down role. He was not like a situational pass rusher. He was an all-around outside linebacker.

And I think that that experience, and all the things that we just talked about, is going to allow him to flourish this season and take a big step, which I know Raven stands to be excited, if that comes to fruition.

Two other quick points I want to mention.

Again, asked about nominee of BK, no update there. Just say he's in a great place mentally, but also that the Ravens will have contingency plans.

He said you have contingency plans basically at every position. So we'll have plan A, plan B, plan C, plan D, not all that different there.

But I feel like every time we talk about this, we say essentially the same thing, no real update, no real time table for an update.

Not much clarity on what exactly is the situation, but the Ravens have contingency plans in place there.

And then lastly, I thought it was interesting hearing him talk about special teams, or used to quality special teams play in Baltimore.

That's been part of John Harbol's identity coming to Baltimore's special teams coach, and I think that's rooted in the fabric of the organization.

That great kicking units over the history of the organization, just overall strong special teams play.

So I think that's part of who the Ravens are. But it was interesting hearing him talk about how he wants special teams to be a weapon for this team.

I like that. Yeah, of course. And special teams can be a weapon. I was, you know, think about blocking ponds, kicks, run backs. When you block upon, when you have a return for touchdown, you usually win the game.

It doesn't even matter which team you're talking about. Those are the tells the type of game changing plays he's looking for and the type of plays it can change a game like that on one play.

Well, look, let's look at the Ravens two Super Bowls. I had a kickoff return for a touchdown in the 2000 Super Bowl. Then they had another kickoff return for a touchdown in the 2012 Super Bowl with Jacoby Jones.

And I think about like that 2012 special teams unit Jacoby was incredible that season. So many so many run backs, both from a kickoff standpoint and part return that were game changing kind of plays.

That was Justin Tucker's rookie season. He delivered some clutch kicks, none bigger than the kick in Denver and double over time to win that game. And so like the Ravens don't win that Super Bowl without those big special teams plays.

And I know it's not like the most exciting thing to talk about, but it's an incredibly important piece. And Jesse views that as a core element of who this team is going to be and an important piece of helping the Ravens be at their best.

And just like, you know, you mentioned we've talked about the coaching staff and Anthony Weaver, you know, being a great addition as far as defensive coordinator for the defense.

The Anthony Levine is a new special team because he's a guy who's been a special teams player in Baltimore knows how impactful that unit can be was a leader as a player.

He's a leader of the coach of that unit. I'm sure he is in locks that with Jesse mentors far as like a week and makes flash plays on special teams. That's what we're hunting for.

And if that happens, that's going to help us become a Super Bowl caliber team. So yeah, all three phases of the Ravens are new this year led by new people.

There's a lot of some of the players are going to be the same, but the systems are going to be different. And so it's really going to be interesting to see it all come together, but that's part of the process from now leading up to week one to make sure that when the Ravens do open the season, they'll look like a team that's been coached by the same staff for a long time, even though it's their first year as a unit together.

Yeah, no doubt about it. So great to hear from him. We got me excited for the offseason program coming up next week, which is hard to believe. Also just got me excited about the upcoming season. So appreciate the time cliff. As always, you can email us at the lounge at Ravens. NFL.net. Let us know your thoughts, your questions. And tomorrow coming up, we're going to have an episode with Ravens team president Sasha Brown had a chance to talk with him here at League meetings about business both on and off the field. His expectations for the upcoming season.

And what the team is working on behind the scenes. So excited for that conversation. Again, that's going to drop tomorrow. So stay tuned for that. Thank you so much for listening and we'll see you again tomorrow.
