So it was awesome getting to do that, and all her teammates got to come watch,” York said. “And then, literally, the next day I get a call that I’m going to work out for the Bengals, and they’re playing on Monday, and I was like ‘Well, Zoe, I will see you at home no matter what.’ So yeah, it’s pretty cool.”
During his interview, York was asked who Zoe would be cheering for a Monday night and he didn’t hesitate with his answer.
“She’s going to be cheering for me,” York said.
For Zoe, the best case scenario in this game would…
