And also, you know, 8 00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:25,919 Speaker 2: the system fits me really well. You know, I think 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 2: I can learn a lot from George Kittle. I think 10 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 2: I could do a lot in terms of versatility and 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:33,519 Speaker 2: the offense and just the way that they use their 12 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 2: tight end run game and past game. I just think 13 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 2: they could do a lot. So I think that it's 14 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 2: a great fit for me.

You know, I think that they showed their 20 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: hand out of most people, and I fully expected to 21 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: hear something from them, you know, and I did. And 22 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: I'm just excited to be here, excited to go to work, 23 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 2: and you know, hopefully I can have a long you know, 24 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: great career here, Brden. 25 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: You're not only known as a tight end, but you've 26 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 3: done half back work, you've done full back work. Where 27 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 3: do you think your strengths are and how do you 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 3: think that fits into the FIRS offense. 29 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think mostly on a tight end. You know, 30 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: I've done a lot of tight end work and that's 31 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 2: what I'm accustomed to. I'm used to obviously play a 32 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: lot of different positions, and I'm gonna do anything that 33 00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: the coaching staff asked you know of me. But like 34 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 2: I said, I'm coming in as a tight end. I 35 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: want to make a mark as that, and like I said, 36 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: I'll do anything to coach staff asked of me to do, 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 2: and I'm excited to get to work. 38 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 4: So it was mentioned that you didn't play at least 39 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 4: line up, I guess on occasion at full back. Is 40 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 4: that accurate? And how did that come to be? Like 41 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 4: did a coach say, hey, go over there and see 42 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 4: like doing that or or what was that process? 43 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 2: I really haven't played any fullback unless you count me 44 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,640 Speaker 2: being in a wing as a fullback in Oklahoma. You know, 45 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: I've been in the wing. I've been in a snip 46 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 2: for a little bit just for a specific run plays. 47 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 2: But I mean, like I said, I could do it. 48 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm a football player, so it's not hard 49 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 2: to you know, pick up, But I could do it. 50 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 2: I'm good at it and I'll do whatever they want 51 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: me to do. So it just kind of came by 52 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: me being versatile. You know, I could do a lot 53 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 2: of different things. You know football players can, and that's 54 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 2: you know, it's kind of how it came about. But 55 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: you know, I'm excited to be able to do a 56 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: whole bunch of different things. 57 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 5: Be a chess piece, so that could use. So I'm excited. 58 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 6: Can you tell me how a college tight end views 59 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:58,920 Speaker 6: George Kittle and just like what the whole persona of 60 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 6: him and his ability on and off the film. 61 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: I think, I mean at Oklahoma in general, we watch 62 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 2: a lot of George Kittle. You know, he just does 63 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 2: so many great things. He does so many things that 64 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 2: we do as an offense. You know, he blocks so 65 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 2: many like the same schemes that we do, you know, 66 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 2: in terms of gap zone, outside zone, inside zone, counters, 67 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 2: all types of stuff. 68 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,640 Speaker 5: Right, So, uh, we watch a lot. 69 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 2: Of his film and I mean, like just a willing blocker, 70 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: a great pass catcher, a great athlete, a guy that 71 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 2: could do it all right. So I just think that, 72 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: like we view him as a chess piece, a guy 73 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: that can move around, do a lot of things and 74 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: make the other team pay. And that's how I view 75 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: myself as well. So I'm excited to get to learn 76 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 2: from him. He's one of the best in the business obviously, 77 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 2: And you know, I don't think I can't think of 78 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 2: a greater mentor for me in my play style than 79 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 2: you know, George Kittle. 80 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 5: So Hight Brandon. 81 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 7: Speaking of George, he has almost like he gets this 82 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 7: maniacal joy from from blocking, from moving a man from 83 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 7: point A to point. 84 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 5: B on tape. 85 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 7: You're you're a really good blocker as well. How would 86 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 7: you kind of characterize your your passion for that that 87 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 7: part of the game, that physical part of the game. 88 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 5: I really think you just said it. 89 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 2: Moving another man from point A to point B, you know, 90 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: under you know, without him wanting to be moved. I 91 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 2: think that's the best feeling in the world. It's just 92 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 2: as good as scoring a touchdown. 93 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 5: You know, when you're. 94 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 2: Able to move someone you know under their will, it's 95 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 2: the best feeling. So I think that's, you know, the 96 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 2: joy he gets from it, that's the same joy I 97 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 2: get from it. 98 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 5: You know, it's it's the violent nature of the game. 99 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: And I think that if you're a fan of the 100 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: violent nature of the game, the physicality and everything, I 101 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 2: think that, uh, you. 102 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 5: You get a joy out of that too. 103 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 2: So, like I said, I think we're both the fans 104 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: of the violent, physical nature of the game and that 105 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: that's why we'd love to do stuff like that. 106 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: So looking at your stat line, your your seven touchdowns 107 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: jumps out. I'm just wondering whether there's a theme with 108 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: those seven tds, whether it was you know, you're there, 109 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: teams are expecting the run and then it allows you 110 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: to kind of slip out and catch a touchdown. What 111 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: were what were those those seven touchdowns? 112 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 2: Like not a lot of those touchdowns, you know, a 113 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 2: couple of them came, a lot of them came in 114 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 2: the red zone. But there are more passing situations. I mean, 115 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: there are some situations where you know you're expecting to 116 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 2: run and we do something, you know, a little pop 117 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 2: pass or something like that. 118 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 5: There's one of those. 119 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 2: But uh, like I said, I mean, it's just a 120 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: lot of matchup things, right, So you get in the 121 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 2: ability to be in a matchup, you know, situation where 122 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: you got a guy that you like it to match 123 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,919 Speaker 2: up and the coaches liked me, and a lot of 124 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: these matchups they're out the year, and so I was 125 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 2: able to capitalize on that. And so you know, just 126 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: shout out to my coaching staff at Oklahoma. They put 127 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: me in great positions, allowed me to, you know, be myself, 128 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 2: be the. 129 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 5: Best football player that I could be, and allow me 130 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 5: to capitalize on that. 131 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: So I think that's more so what it was, all right, Jane, 132 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 2: go ahead, last. 133 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: One, Bradon, you had seven point two yards after catch 134 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 3: as an average.
