Key Quotes From Coach Chennis Berry

The Importance of Opportunities for Young Athletes

"I mean, to be able to culminate the week with the game, it's always good for the kids because ultimately, man, you know, we want them to get out here with a good experience, get a chance to get seen in front of the scouts all entire week."

Navigating The NFL Draft Process

"I only only one team got to like you, you know. There's 32 teams in the league. There's different teams in the NFL. There's only 1 team got to like you. So what are you putting on film? What is your interview every day? Alright. What is your interview? What did you put out there on film? You have full control of what you put out there on film, but just be patient. If God has it for you, it'll happen. You just got to be patient through the process."
