My trial by fire moment was probably being called up in my first season. A lot of the s22 players stayed down for a season, but not the elite ones. In my first couple games, I did next to nothing. Desmond Scarlett, the CB1 of Arizona, got an int in the season opener, and I was determined to try and set that example for the rookies in a couple seasons. I wasn't able to do much, with only 4 PDs for my stats in the first half of the season. I took a break and visited an old friend of mine, a top cornerback who's retired, but his son plays as a cornerback. He taught me a lot and I really felt like I learned something. It seemed to work, because those next two games, I got a pick six in each. I was ecstatic, and I got 2 more ints in the final 5 games to finish the season as a pro bowler. That late season push really helped me and established me as a top corner in the league. I built upon that during my 2nd year, and now I'm continuing my great play this season. As the only defensive player in S22 to make the pro bowl in S22, I wear that as a badge of honor.
