“Honestly, I haven’t even thought about it. But people keep asking me,” he said on Monday, February 12, according to Daily Mail.

He didn't reveal what he had told coach Read saying, "I'm going to keep it between us unless my mic'd up tells the world," he told ESPN, "but I was just telling him how much I love him," he joked.
