33
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,440

00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: that anger, that dog in him, you know, and I

35
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: believe I played with that also in my in my

36
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: game through our college. But then he you know, he

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: has a technique, the fundamentals along with that dog in

38
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,960

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: in the game. All right, Cincinnati, obviously terrific program. You

40
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: guys sent eight guys to the combine, but you got

41
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: the snub. All right, you the snub. Then you go

42
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: to your pro day and you are sensational. You put

43
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: on an absolute show. Now you're drafted in the NFL.

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: How how satisfying was the pro Day? And then this

45
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: moment for you knowing that, hey, you didn't get the

46
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: respect in February, but you're getting it now. Oh man.

48
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: the Combos snub, the Singer bowls up snub. I feel

49
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: like I was, you know, in a way a lot

50
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: of ways disrespected in certain cases. Um, but with Pro Day,

51
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: I just took the prote as an opportunity to just

52
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: go out there and show what I could do, and

53
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: thank God to pay it off. Yeah. I know you again,

54
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: you've talked about this. But your guy Alec Pierce, he's

55
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: drafted here, he was a second round guy, the former

56
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: Bearcat connection. What can you guys infuse culturally to the

57
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: colts coming from college of the NFL. Oh, we're gonna

58
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: bring a Luke Fickle mentality land the only thing we know,

59
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: h Bryan, go get it, that blue collar mentality. So

60
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 1: we're just coming there ready to work. We're not gonna

61
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: do too much, just coming ready to get our job done.
