1
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: You're a picture. No, it's after good afternoon everyone, and welcome.

2
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:34,559
Speaker 1: It's always special to welcome a new Patriot. And today's

3
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: presentation carries a special value to me because twenty five

4
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: years ago, as the stadium was being constructed, we started

5
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: a tradition that brings pride and promise to the bringing

6
00:01:54,000 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: the Patriots top pick out here and presenting him with

7
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: a number one jersey. And that tradition started exactly twenty

8
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: five years ago when we brought Richard Seymour here and

9
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: presented him with the number one jersey. And today we

10
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: continue that tradition and legacy with another young man that

11
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: hopefully will bring us into a new era the same

12
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: way Richard did.

13
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: In his early years.

14
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: So it's a great honor for me to introduce our

15
00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 1: number one draft pick, Will Thorn, Will Campbell here and.

16
00:02:52,120 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, mhm h yeah, let's.

17
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: Mhm.

18
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: What's going on? How y'all doing? First off, for any questions,

19
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: I just want to, you know, say a special thank

20
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 4: you to the crafts, uh, the entire Patriots coaching staff.

21
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: Uh.

22
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 4: It's a complete honor and privilege to represent this organization.

23
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: I'm super excited to be a part of this and

24
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 4: I'm looking forward to what the future holds and wing

25
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 4: open up with some questions.

26
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 5: Well, very passionately, sorry about that. Last night, you spoke

27
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 5: very passionately about a conversation you had with Elliott Wolfe

28
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 5: in week five of last year where you said New

29
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 5: England is where I want to go to. New England

30
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 5: is where I want to play. What was the spark

31
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 5: maybe behind that passion? And given the fact that there's

32
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 5: a whole new coaching staff here, I don't think Drake

33
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 5: had even played at that point.

34
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 2: What caused you to think that way?

35
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 5: And I guess that is this the culmination of that conversation?

36
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, the.

37
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 4: Biggest thing for me was I wanted to play for

38
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 4: an organization that had history, that cared, that wants to win.

39
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 2: That's the thing for me.

40
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: I want to come in and I want to win,

41
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 4: and I'm want to do whatever it takes to help

42
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 4: the team win. And you know, Drake is a heck

43
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 4: of a player. I'm super excited to, you know, build

44
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: our relationship Coach Brable as a guy that I want

45
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 4: to play for. This is an organization, you know, the

46
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: the proof is in the pudding with this place and

47
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 4: that's something that I want to be a part of.

48
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 4: So for me to be able to represent you know,

49
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,640

55
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 6: put them on the ground setting that aside. He'd also

56
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 6: expressed he could tell in your eyes you made a

57
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 6: point that day to get drafted number four overall. Can

58
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 6: you provide some more detail what that visit and workout

59
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 6: was like and what you did to obviously deliver yourself

60
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 6: as a number four pick.

61
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah.

62
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,040

Speaker 4: I was willing to do no matter what it was,

68
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 4: and that's something that I just wanted them to know

69

00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 4: year in high school. That number is gone with me

91
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 4: as I've grown as a player and I continue to

92
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,040

00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: I just wondering if you haven't talked to Josh McDaniels,

161
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 1: and how do you see yourself faking his offensive.

162
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: Yeah.

163
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 4: I was able to talk to, you know, coach McDaniels

164
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 4: whenever I was up here on my thirty visit. And

165
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 4: you know he's been here for so long. I mean,

166
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 4: it's just the honor to play for him. He's coached

167
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 4: a lot of good offenses, you know, in his years here,

168
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 4: and I'm just super excited to get to work with him.

169
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 4: I'll do whatever you ask of me, and I'm just

170
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 4: really honored to be able to play for him.

171
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:53,559
Speaker 2: Hey, we'll back over here.

172
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 6: Coach Rabels talked a lot about culture, and it seems

173
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 6: like that was something that appealed when he drafted you.

174
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 6: What is your goal, your vision, how you intend to

175
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 6: help him rebuild that here as Mike's first first round pick.

176
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, culture is everything.

177
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 4: Culture wins you games, that goes for you know, any

178
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 4: stage of any sport and be high school, college, NFL.

179
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: That's what's going to set you up for success in

180
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,439
Speaker 4: the long run because whenever you have that bond and

181
00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 4: you know the trust and the guy next to you

182
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 4: in that relationship, you're willing to do whatever to make

183
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 4: sure that you succeed and not let the guy next

184
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 4: to you down. And you know, that's something that I'm

185
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 4: all about. I want everybody on the field to know

186
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 4: that I'm going to give them everything I have. I

187
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 4: want them to have full trust in me and that

188
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 4: I'm going to execute my job and let's just go

00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 3: Well, you were just speaking about kind of off the field.

220
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 3: I know you have a very giving personality and charities

221
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: that you contribute to. I'm just curious how and if

00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 3: you plan on bringing that giving up here to New England,

223
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: giving back.

224
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: To this community.

225
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.

226
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 4: This is the community that supports us. This is a

227
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:40,959
Speaker 4: community that fills up these seats in this stadium. So

228
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 4: you know, I feel like that's a service you have

229
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 4: to do and that I want to do. It's something

230
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 4: that I've done not just in my community where I

231
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 4: grew up, but throughout the state of Louisiana. So for

232
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 4: me to be able to do that here I think

233
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: would be really special and it's something I look forward

234
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:54,880

Speaker 5: obviously used to high expectations and a high level of play.

238
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,679
Speaker 6: How do you feel like that prepared you for the

239
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,520
Speaker 6: expectations of the fans in New England?

240
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: Definitely. You know, LSU is the most premier university in

241
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: the country.

242
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 6: Uh.

Speaker 2: Uh.

246
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 4: And you notice everything I could have asked for. The

247
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 4: guys that came way before me laid the blueprint for

248
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 4: guys like me to come in and just follow and

249
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,480

250
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:35,160

251
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 4: you know, I just feel like it's the closest thing

252
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,960
Speaker 4: to the NFL that you can get. And I'm just

253
