Hey, Riley. Um just wanted to ask you about your you suck bracelet. Um I know we talked about that with you at spring practice now that you're starting to get some more recognition and maybe praise from the outside media. How do you make sure that you keep that chip on your shoulder? Yeah. So for those of you who don't know my whole life, I've kind of gotten a lot of praise and so I went to my mom, I went to my mom one day and I was like, hey, somebody's got to bash me. Somebody's got to tell me I suck to give me some motivation. She was like, shoot, I'll do it. And ever since, ever since before, every game she calls me and she texted me last night. Hey, don't suck at these interviews and things like that. So just give me some motivation and obviously people are just now starting to learn about that, but that's been happening for a long time ever since high school. So yeah, it's a pretty funny tradition. We got going stay on the center aisle all the way to the back. Hey Reilley, Mike Barber Richmond Times. Dispatch. Can you just tell me what makes Jalen Khoon such a good receiver, how your chemistry is with him and what his skill set is that maybe separates him. Yes. So two things, number one coach, like I said, he just gets open. He's a great route, Ron, he's very sharp. But number two, the thing that really makes him special is he's always asking me questions and you know, we're always watching film together and, you know, it takes a lot for a player at that caliber to go to somebody else and say, hey, how can I get better? How can I do this? How can I do this? How can I do that whenever we're watching film together, we go through every single route and he's constantly, we're asking each other and feeding off each other. It's not, hey, this is what I'm going to do and I'm not, hey, this is the route I want you to run. We're constantly just feeding off each other and adapting to whichever team we're playing. Riley to your right midway young lady in the white jacket. Hi, Riley Ashly Dotson from Spectacular Magazine. So being recognized as a preseason all AC C selection by multiple publications is an amazing accomplishment. But what do you believe sets you apart as a quarterback and how will those strengths contribute to Duke's success this year? Yeah. Well, my personal success, you know, obviously, it's a great honor to get that all AC C, however, my success, you know, comes from the team's success as a quarterback, I can't do anything without the 10 guys around me. If everybody's not on the same exact page, if my son over here is not making the right call to protect me, you know, I have no success in this league. So, you know, that AC C, you know, award was great, but, you know, there's a lot greater things that can come as far as my game goes. I think there's so much more that I can get better. At one thing I've been trying to do is just study NFL quarterbacks, they're intangible things. So how do they approach the line of scrimmage? How do they respond after a turnover on the sideline? How are they preparing with the offensive line and how are they watching film with the receivers? It's those sort of things that I've really tried to step up this off season. So I'm looking forward to getting out on that field and competing with those guys to your right the second row. Hey, Riley, uh Royal Howe Carolina Blitz, how has coach Elko challenged you heading into this season? Taking that next leap from, you know, year one and year two, maybe that's where they're making quicker decisions in the pocket using your feet more. We know you're a dual threat quarterback. How has he challenged you making that next step? Yeah, coach Elco is great. Uh He's great. At keeping me, never, never letting me become complacent. He's always going to be, you know, just like my mom keeping me humble, but he's, he's great when it comes to learning the defensive side of things. So after I play, we'll walk up the field. Hey, what do you see there constantly asking me questions, I'll respond. Hey, why don't you get your eyes on this, this defender? Why don't we protect this bliss on third down those sort of things. And just learning the defensive side has really helped me as a quarterback, Riley to your left in a row, left side. Uh Rich Cunningham Box Sports Radio, Charlotte Riley. What do you, what is your goal coming in? What do you think you personally need to improve on the most in this season? Yeah, I try not to put too much pressure on myself and what I need to do. How many, you know, yards do I need to throw for? How many touchdowns do I need to rush here and there? I just play the game. Uh, you know, whatever the defense gives me I take, I think that's very important for a quarterback. Obviously, there are, there are times people are going to say you got to throw for this many yards to win. Well, my job coach Kevin Johns talks to me about this a lot to get four yards of play. That that's all you need to average to drive down the field you know, score a touchdown on every single drive, just get four yards of play. Keep it simple. You know, that's something I've embraced this off season. Keep it simple. Stupid. The acronym Kiss. Just get four yards of play and you'll be all right front road to your right. Good morning Riley. So recently Netflix dropped a documentary series called quarterback that captivated audiences went number one in the uh in the world and I think it really was captivating because we got a chance to see behind the scenes into quarterbacks, the things that we weren't like exposed to. I wanted to know like from you, of course, we don't have like a film crew following us right now to show you all the behind the scenes work. But what is like the behind the scenes into your preparation like on a on a game week? Um What's your training look like? Um like those little things and nuggets that people wouldn't know? Yeah, that's a great documentary they got going because a lot of people see me just, you know, with my pads on, but, you know, for 360 or 55 days out of the year, we're just in the facility working together. So it's super important for that show to come out and really realize how much work, you know, these quarterbacks put in with their teammates. It's really cool to have that. I haven't gotten the chance to watch it yet. Obviously coach said, you know, we're pretty busy in the off season with internships, workouts and things like that, but I'll have to get a chance to watch it. Riley. Thank you. You can text your mom and say you did not suck at the podium. You did a really good job. Thank you.
