It wasn't necessarily the college football playoff, as far as it was just leaving my legacy.

And whatever that meant, if that meant college football playoff, that meant just another New Year's Sixth Bowl, whatever it meant, you you know that's what i wanted to do i wanted to go

leave a legacy at cincinnati that's what i you know step foot in the building and said i wanted to do

from day one um and then also you know security of my family welcome to what's next with eric wood

where we will prepare you to make your what's next in life your best yet.

I'm honored to be joined here today by one of Louisville's own.

We're recording this down in my basement, and that's Desmond Ritter.

And Desmond, over the last four years, had the most touchdowns and most wins in the entire country for any quarterback.

He's also projected to be a first-round draft pick this year in the NFL draft.

So it's an honor for me to be sitting next to him.

And as I prep for these interviews, a lot of times I'll reach out to people and get a feel

for, you know, what people are saying outside of what I already know.

And we've gotten to me in the past.

But I reached out to

Jordan Palmer. Jordan Palmer's a former podcast guest and the top quarterback guru in the entire

country. So you think he said positive things or negative things? I would hope he said probably. Yeah,

I would hope so too, considering you've been working with him. But he said he is an adult at a phase where most of these dudes are still growing up.

His approach to the game, the way he studies, and the confidence he has in himself are what stick out to me.

As I've talked to other teams, I've talked to other coaches.

They've said the same thing.

So, one, I just want to say congratulations on setting yourself up and getting to this point of your life where we're sitting here two days away from the draft and you're set up to be a first round draft big.

Yeah, no, thank you one for having me on, having me in your home.
