Ferrell who was quiet and reserved and reserved, decided to leave his mark on the field where he set records for the number of field goals made. Ferrell did not exhibit the outlandish, humorous behavior that would define his career, even in his suburban home. His mother, who was interviewed by Esquire she said that her son was very gentle and calm. "You aren't you old enough to remember those Matchbox cars?" Will would line up his Matchbox cars on his own and be extremely happy. The question would be "Do you wish to visit Disneyland this morning?" or "You want your cars lined up?" That would be a challenging conversation for him to contemplate. Ferrell was not a perfect straight man but that's not to say he wasn't. When he made the daily announcements via the PA system, a glimpse of his comical skills was revealed each morning at high-school.
