Every Saturday, whether he’s at home or in a hotel room on the road, Daniel is watching the Auburn game and anxiously awaiting when Anders goes to attempt a field goal or extra point. He admits he gets more nervous watching Anders kick than he does when he kicks.
“Without a doubt,” Daniel said. “Usually, I'm in a hotel room traveling for a game myself, but I'm on the edge of the bed watching nervously whenever he's up there. Just very excited for him. It's been really fun kind of watching it from a fan's perspective.”
The two talk at least once a week on the phone, mostly about football and catching up after the weekend games, but also about life. Daniel had a daughter last fall, so Anders loves getting to see his niece. Meanwhile, Anders got engaged over the summer. Anders is also going through the same graduate school program Daniel did when he was at Auburn.
“I’m really proud of how he's handled himself on the field, in the classroom, all that stuff,” Daniel said. “We had the one year where we were able to crossover. Obviously, I can't take a lot of credit, but I like to think I helped him kind of learn some of the ropes.
“We discuss weekly stuff – kicking and obviously, we talk about other things as well. But just being able to bounce ideas off each other and watch his career flourish and do everything he's been able to do the last four or five years now has been just really cool. It makes me really excited and happy for him and what’s ahead after Auburn.”
