And then I’ll never forget walking into the facility, ahead of our first practice after NIU. I’m doing this slow walk, my head down, real emo. And everyone’s in the locker room, kind of sitting around. And a couple of our younger players … they just called me out. They told me I was being hypocritical. How I’m the guy who always talks about having this unwavering faith. And they were like, “You say you’re a man of faith. OK. Well, we have faith in you. We trust in you. We believe in you to be our quarterback. But you better start believing in yourself.” And that hit me like a ton of bricks. It was like — they weren’t even talking about how I played. They weren’t even saying I let them down against NIU. They were saying I was letting them down right now, in the locker room, just by not being a leader
