“I think the biggest thing is just being where your feet are, being in the moment, not getting too far down the road,” quarterback Jayden Maiava said this week.

“My teammates, my coaches, my now-fiancee. We really grew to love that city. Minneapolis became home for us. I learned so much that season. Even those last couple of games where things didn’t go how we wanted, the experience was invaluable. Those moments pay dividends down the road.”

He described the situation as “a crisis without end, kicking the can down the road every few months.”
