It’s especially not easy to adjust to the NFL when you’re a rookie quarterback and you’re named the starter midway through the season.
Even with all his playing experience and the things he went through last season, O’Connell had a lot to adjust to. “My first start did not go well,” O'Connell said. “Didn’t play well, was struggling with the timing of – like they talk about, just getting the ball out on time. And so, Khalil Mack had his career day against me; just a bad game, and then I had to sit for a few more weeks but got to play, and then basically went back to the bench and had to just simmer in it and sit with the failure basically. So that was a really hard part.
