‘“You obviously look around the locker room and see what type of guys… high character guys, some studs in the locker room and you understand you have a pretty good football team,” said Hyde. “I remember having a conversation with some buddies on other teams, former players that I played with in the past whether it’s in Green Bay or even my days in Iowa. And I was telling guys, ‘Hey, don’t sleep on us this year. We’re going to be good. Obviously we have a young quarterback, but he’s a competitor. He’s a stud. Once he gets that confidence from year one to year two’ we’re going to be a pretty good football team.’ And obviously all the guys were like, ‘Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever. Whatever. Whatever.’ Maybe I was a little biased, because I appreciate this football team. I know the hard work and stuff that a lot of guys put in, but I really did. I saw the potential in this football team for sure.”’
