    This dude was signing autographs in high school and is talking about becoming a GAM... What a humble kid. Can't help but root for him.

    Rich is a legend and has interviewed everyone. The pure joy on his face when he interviews players from this Michigan team is priceless. 😂😂😂
  • @kevinhenry4047
    Dude gets a lot of hate but he seems like a pretty down to Earth person. Hope he does well in Minnesota!
  • @jerodjones6846
    Winning the natty was the best, but my favorite moments of the 23 season was JJ leading that final drive down the field in the Rose Bowl to tie it up and send it to OT. That was so fing legendary! And then, of course, Blake's OT TD run. Both were unbelievable. Go fing Blue!!
  • @thetwo1198
    Coming from a die hard Ohio State fan, I have mad respect for this guy, what a tremendous young man, always classy, humble yet extremely confident, what impressed me the most is he has a big heart of a champion that led the Michigan team to win the title. I wish him nothing but the best in his pro career.
  • @tbonealex
    This guy could sell me a winter coat on a hot summer day. You can see why he has always been a winner. Very happy my Vikings drafted him and wishing him a ton of success.
  • @isaacs3822
    We need the JJ --> JJ connection up here in Minnesota, let’s get it done!
  • @JOB1925pk
    Dang, I want JJ behind Goff in Detroit...I know it's not gonna happen but I can dream right?
  • @blowfishes
    Damn… that kid is so full of confidence. I rarely watch these interviews because half the time it is like pulling teeth, yet conversation comes so easily to him and what he says is actually interesting.
  • @Slimhunchie
    “We’re soldiers on the football field” Really like his confidence in himself
  • @johnchedsey1306
    It amazes me how these really young kids are so freaking polished in the media now. I don't watch college football so I can't speak to his on field performance, but I now see why his draft stock went up. JJ probably has the best in person discussions and interview process. The NFL is hard for young QBs, but he at least seems to have the mentals in place to have a fighting chance to be good.
