Chris Steuber: What is the toughest transition to the NFL? A lot of people
say it's the speed of the game, but is there more to it?
Kevin Kolb: I'll tell you why it's the speed, because there is so much
thought that goes into it. The more you think the more it slows you down. That's
the problem I'm having right now. I'm waiting and hesitating on reads that I'd
normally just fire the ball at, but I just don't want to mess up. There is so
much going through my head. That's why the speed is so much different, because
it takes so much longer to think about and to develop your thought process.
CS: Do you think your experience in high school prepared you for your
collegiate career and your new profession as a quarterback in the city of
Philadelphia?
Kolb: Oh yeah… no doubt about it. My first year in high school sports was
rough. I broke a collarbone and was out for my first year. And I started
out not playing well as a junior, so I didn't know what my future presented. I
think when you really battle through something you can really attribute that to
something later in life and in your future.
