C Daniel Kilgore

(Does it mean even more to be a captain the fact that you are a new guy here?) – “Absolutely. When I first got traded, I had no idea what to expect. It’s new for me. I’ve never been a captain before. It’s always been an older guy or the most paid guy. It’s crazy; but again, I accept it, I love it, I’m proud of it and it’s an honor. It doesn’t change anything for me though. I just keep coming to work each day and put my head down and go to work.”

(Off the field, how much sleep are you getting these days with a newborn?) – “My baby girl, she’s keeping us up; but it’s good. I’ve got a good support team, so I’m getting my sleep.”

(How did it feel going into your first game right after your daughter was born? Has it changed perspective or anything like that at all?) – “It was definitely a huge weight off my shoulders. First and foremost, I want to make sure my wife was okay and then make sure we had everything in place for me to allow the baby to be born, my wife will be taken care of and change my train of thought back towards the game. Family first, obviously, so you’ve got to make sure she’s okay. It was good to get it – I don’t want to say out of the way – but it was good to have my daughter arrive before the game so I was able to focus on the game only and then was able to get to her after the game. It was good.”

(Did they end up inducing?) – “Yes, they ended up inducing and everybody was good. The mother is good – my wife is good – my daughter is good. The baby is doing well. She’s supposed to eat, sleep and poop. That’s it. (laughter)”
