Young Hollywood

You were on the cover of this last year, right?

Gaming With Tim Tebow

I was. Yes.

Young Hollywood

How does that feel?

Gaming With Tim Tebow

It was awesome actually. It was, you know, kind of surreal to be honest. Playing this since I was a little boy and then being on the cover of it and you know, still enjoy to play it.

Young Hollywood

Between college, fall and NFL, what's the biggest difference for you?

Gaming With Tim Tebow

Um, I'd say the biggest difference is playing against guys in NFL, they've been perfecting their craft for so long that they're a lot smarter with it. Um they play quicker. It's not necessarily the speed of the game that everybody talks about. Everybody seems to talk about that. I think it's the knowledge of the game and when you understand what you're doing, you can play at a faster tempo and I believe that's why. I love playing the game of football. It's something that I'm so passionate about and I do miss it in the off season.

Young Hollywood

I can tell even when you talk about it. Yeah. What's been the highlight of your career so far? Was it the Heisman? Like what was what was the moment for you? I know your career is still young.

Gaming With Tim Tebow

Honestly, if I had to pick something, I would say it's the relationships. Um, just from high school to college and now being in the NFL, the the special relationships you build with teammates, with coaches, uh with fans. I mean that's the coolest part of it. You know, being an athlete is more than just, you know, playing this that sport. It's about, you know, taking that platform and trying to do something positive with it.

Young Hollywood

Bernard Berrian

I did bring her hat. For sure because you got to always got to know that someone's going to be around. You got to have a gift ready on hand.

Young Hollywood

But you told me I had to wear it to like a special way. You got to cock it to the side. So how am I doing?

Bernard Berrian

You got the swag up.

Young Hollywood

I got my swag. So you play for Fresno State. What is the biggest difference you think playing like college ball versus NFL?

Bernard Berrian

Uh the speed of the game, the intensity of the game, and just the mental toughness and fortitude that you got to bring from college to the NFL is a is a totally big, big, huge difference. And uh once you get past all the physical part, the the mental part is what really is going to make you or break you and that's how you get longevity in the game.

Young Hollywood

So what have you been doing in the off season and during the lockout and everything you staying in shape?

Bernard Berrian

Uh yeah, actually I've been I've been enjoyed the beach. Uh Huntington Beach has been great to me. Newport has been great to me. Yes, sir. No, actually, we were supposed to do that today, but we kind of lost time.

Young Hollywood
