The Irish QB talks about becoming the starter, that viral moment with Tommy Rees and why he doesn’t read social media.
He attends meetings and workouts and team functions. He brings energy to the games, slapping teammates enthusiastically as they return to the sidelines. He toggles between wishing no ill on anyone and hoping for battlefield promotion.
Then it happens. The backup becomes the starter. He trades his ball cap for a helmet. He tries his best to project cool, winning his teammates’ confidence, and then tries to alchemize all that preparation into results.
So it went for Drew Pyne.
