Words are hard

Putting a lot of them together in a row seems really exhausting.

It isn’t always easy. At Colorado State, Grayson never made a play call longer than eight words. In New Orleans, some of his calls are as long as 16 words.

That has been the hardest part of adjusting to the NFL so far.

“You obviously get to learn listening to Drew (Brees), Luke (McCown), Ryan (Griffin), and they just go in there and spit these plays out,” Grayson said. “I’m sitting back there thinking, ‘Holy cow, what did they just say?’ It’s just part of the process.”

That quote about how hard it is to say a lot of words was 39 words long, though. So he's obviously got the talent.
