McVay Loves His Guys

During his post game presser, McVay spoke about his team and how this was one of his favorite squads to be around. Earlier this week, McVay was asked what he learned about himself from being around this team.

“That's a great question," stated McVay. "I've learned that I'm at my best when you're around people that you love enough to not want to let them down. I think that when you're around people that make you want to take action, even if you have your fears or your insecurities, the love is what outweighs that. I've learned that when you're around people that inspire you, you become the company you keep."

"This group of players, this group of coaches, and we've had some really special groups, but top to bottom, it's hard to top how I feel about this team and the experience. I was just talking the other day with some of our coaches about how I can't believe how fast this season has gone by. It’s not because it's been easy. It's been hard. There have been challenging moments, but when you're totally present, you're enjoying that, I think that's when you're at your best and you're creating meaningful relationships and memories."

"What I've learned from this team is that we're at our best when we're working the right way. We have genuine enjoyment for each other for the success and for the challenging moments. We have the mental toughness and the mindset to be our best, regardless of the circumstances. That's not exclusive to football, that's just in life. Being consistent and doing that for the people that you love and care about, that's what I would say I've learned.”
