0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.599
<v Speaker 1>Drafted as a production of tree Fort Media, Clutched Sports

0:00:02.600 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Group and I Heart Radio. We're so excited and we

0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:15.600
<v Speaker 1>cannot wait to speak to later when you're in the NFL.

0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying, welcome back to Drafted. In this episode, we'll

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>take an exclusive look at the final forty eight hours

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>of our four first round hopefuls, McKay, Beckton, Chase Young,

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>Levisca Chenault, and Jeff Okuda. We're going inside the moments

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:43.440
<v Speaker 1>before the Polish TV appearances and rehearsed interviews, inside their lives,

0:00:43.479 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>and into their homes as they experience what they hope

0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>is their last two days before becoming professional football players. Atlanta,

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to trade up, the tits, trying to trade back.

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I think so. I mean, I really don't know, because

0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:01.840
<v Speaker 1>you've already controlled everything. Yea. Enjoy the ride, man, Yeah

0:01:01.920 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 1>for sure, coach, you're calling me man. Their dreams of success,

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:10.120
<v Speaker 1>super Bowl rings, pro Bowl selections, multimillion dollar contracts that

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>will all come later. Right now, their only goal is

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>getting picked as high as possible. Okay, we go, Grandpa.

0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.839
<v Speaker 1>I really don't With a draft only two days away,

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.319
<v Speaker 1>the pressure on every player intensifies. I think the pressure

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>of any first round pick, A lot of times come

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.760
<v Speaker 1>from within within their circles, within their family setting, within

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:35.240
<v Speaker 1>their mindset of comparisons of those who are in the

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 1>draft process with them, and so I think that's self

0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>inflicted pressure. Rich Paul had of Clutch Sports on some

0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>of the challenges facing all the players in the draft,

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:49.120
<v Speaker 1>and especially these four highly touted athletes. When we try

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>to explain I tried to explain it to every guy

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.320
<v Speaker 1>being drafted. There can only be one team to take you.

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:58.160
<v Speaker 1>When you get there. The process of proving yourself no

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>matter where you're going to draft start saw all over again.

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.080
<v Speaker 1>And most importantly, you have an opportunity and what you

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.560
<v Speaker 1>do with that opportunity is up to you. The difference

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>is prior to all other times that you were in

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>this position in terms of a new environment coming from

0:02:16.320 --> 0:02:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Uni league to middle school, to high school to college.

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>The difference in this situation is you're now pro, and

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>when you're pro, there's a ton of expectation that comes

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>along with it. Former Louisville offensive tackle McKay Beckton's feeling

0:02:33.880 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the stress of such high expectations and it's starting to

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:44.360
<v Speaker 1>show in some unexpected ways. I'm just saying why you

0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 1>can't use that one day? I gotta walk all way

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>to the moon. Come on, it's a charger right here.

0:02:50.560 --> 0:03:05.919
<v Speaker 1>It does the same thing we got. Thank you said

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 1>keep that phone. That's why I got the box too.

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.959
<v Speaker 1>Even something is mundane as a phone charger can reveal

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the apprehension these athletes face with tens of millions of

0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:20.919
<v Speaker 1>dollars on the line. Oh, Colin heard, Colin heard? I

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.639
<v Speaker 1>mean this in this top five? How risk proce? Wait?

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>What do that mean? HW? Risk prospect? What do that mean? Oh?

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm terrible. Dang dang. It's because being chosen as a

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>high pick is about a lot more than pride and achievement.

0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:46.680
<v Speaker 1>The financial difference between the first and last picks of

0:03:46.800 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>round one is over twenty five million dollars. Falling even

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>five spots at the top from number one to number

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>six will cost a player ten million bucks. That's a

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>heavy burden for anyone, let a own a twenty one

0:04:01.000 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>year old. They told on a documentary on this is

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:10.400
<v Speaker 1>dumb though for like doing this right now. I just

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 1>want to get drafted. All this extra stuff it's just

0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:19.200
<v Speaker 1>uncalled for. Seriously, this is Simone Beckton McKay's mom. Yeah,

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying it like it's easy. I don't understand she

0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>was tolerant. Yeah I did. Yeah, it's telling you definitely

0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>love the damn mm hmm. I'm get because of me,

0:04:46.800 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>because it's you, because I'm I just wanted to face.

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:13.440
<v Speaker 1>That's Sarah Walker, McKay's former academic counselor at Louisville, checking

0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.840
<v Speaker 1>in on how he's holding up as the big day arrives.

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:21.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to check up, yawn, but I do

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 1>not have the Yeah I don't. I'm literally you're gonna

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 1>laugh for I like already like here like already, oh

0:05:33.520 --> 0:05:43.279
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, already. Oh I'm going to bed. The bond

0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.760
<v Speaker 1>between an athlete like McKay and the people who helped

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:49.159
<v Speaker 1>him grow and succeed can be extremely close, thanks to

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:52.480
<v Speaker 1>years of working together towards their shared goals, graduating with

0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:57.080
<v Speaker 1>a degree and getting to the NFL. Thinking about all

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the days when you were displaying ye, I don't want

0:06:01.560 --> 0:06:04.200
<v Speaker 1>to do this. I don't want to football, And I

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>was like, so, what, like, how are they gonna work?

0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 1>and then we're just gonna be tuned in. And whenever

<v Speaker 1>I get picked, they're gonna put the camera on me,

0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:30.840

<v Speaker 1>I don't care, honestly, I really don't. I don't care

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>who haven't paying me. I don't care. Well, I go, Grandpa.

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:42.559
<v Speaker 1>We'll be right back. M Former Ohio State defensive lineman

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Chase Young, another presumed top pick, deals with the same pressure,

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, And I'm like, it's a Bruce optimistic two

0:07:56.120 --> 0:08:08.800
<v Speaker 1>one for the one for the dude. Yeah, he's hitting

0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the weights to work out some pre draft. Jenner's no good.

<v Speaker 1>you guys be in the league. He was like, yeah,

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>but if you're going there, your football right. Why. Even

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 1>someone is seemingly unassailable as Chase, arguably the most dominant

0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 1>defensive player in college this past season, and someone whose

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:58.360
<v Speaker 1>former teammates described as a cool, laid back guy, even

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.560
<v Speaker 1>he finds himself mentally struggle with his typical workout as

0:10:01.640 --> 0:10:05.959
<v Speaker 1>the draft nears and the pressure intensifies, making sure though

0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that um keeping it locked up even when I sit down,

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:18.599
<v Speaker 1>no about how fast it's alway I'm gone, instead of

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:35.679
<v Speaker 1>doing yeah when you count count wa wa two because

0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:41.480
<v Speaker 1>it funk out my mind said, and I'm sorry because

0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:45.719
<v Speaker 1>you I was doing that. Nah. I'm just saying with

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 1>these johnps, I don't like hearing six teams. I like,

0:10:50.320 --> 0:11:00.800
<v Speaker 1>why why two? So many? Right? They said, think this. Yeah,

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:04.920
<v Speaker 1>the drafts never ending scrutiny can unnerve any prospect, and

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.680
<v Speaker 1>with newfound millions coming their way, these rookies suddenly faced

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.959
<v Speaker 1>never ending financial and business propositions on top of the

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:18.679
<v Speaker 1>football stress. If I know you've heard probably some of

0:11:18.760 --> 0:11:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the horror stories of rumors that go on in this

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:23.160
<v Speaker 1>business to the amount of debt that these players get

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:26.080
<v Speaker 1>in and uh, the rules that are being broken before

0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>they even get into league. Clutch Sports Group agent to

0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:32.959
<v Speaker 1>Marius Bilbo, this is a very transactional business. The word agent.

0:11:33.080 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 1>And I tell all my clients. If I say real

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 1>estate agent, I'm here to sell your home. You know,

0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't make me a bad person, but I'm here

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.840
<v Speaker 1>to sell your home. If I say insurance agent, I'm

0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 1>here to sell your insurance package. Prem get my percentage

0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:48.080
<v Speaker 1>and move on. And it's the same thing with NFL agents.

0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:50.760
<v Speaker 1>I saw so many agents from baseball and football come

0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:52.800
<v Speaker 1>in and one thing I knew they couldn't do. It

0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:55.280
<v Speaker 1>couldn't relate to me. They only cared about the sport.

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.560
<v Speaker 1>They never asked a question of what if it doesn't

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.680
<v Speaker 1>get you. The multimillion dollar contract are set you up

0:12:00.720 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 1>for life, and that was what I was really intrigued by.

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:05.120
<v Speaker 1>I played for a couple of years, went out to

0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>Arizona and Dennis Green was there, had a chance to

0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.959
<v Speaker 1>build some friendships with an Kwan Bowden watch Larry Fitzgerald,

0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:15.240
<v Speaker 1>a close in person. Was released from them, went to

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:19.439
<v Speaker 1>Dallas under Bill Parcels. I was actually the third quarterback

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.440
<v Speaker 1>behind bledso Romo, and then I was running scout team

0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 1>quarterback getting chased by the markets where and those guys

0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Roy Williams, so I saw a lot

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 1>in my football career. Um was always business minded and

0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.599
<v Speaker 1>that's what I did for myself. I always had a

0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>passion for sports, but I knew it would end, you know,

0:12:36.400 --> 0:12:38.559
<v Speaker 1>because everybody wants to help a professional athlete get in

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 1>the league, right, that's the easy part. But who wants

0:12:41.360 --> 0:12:43.559
<v Speaker 1>to help them get out when it's over? That's the

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.480
<v Speaker 1>hard part. And I only hope that these guys that

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.400
<v Speaker 1>signed me can look beyond the agent and get inspiration

0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:52.319
<v Speaker 1>as a professional. You know, you meet a guy like

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Leviska and you hear the stories the dress and while

0:12:56.320 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 1>they were grown out, you meet his mom, Annie, who

0:12:58.920 --> 0:13:02.320
<v Speaker 1>was a college basketball player, and you know how she's

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, fault to raise her sons while keeping her

0:13:05.280 --> 0:13:08.199
<v Speaker 1>husband's memory alive. And you know, you can see it

0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.840
<v Speaker 1>in his eyes. You can see that he's he's passionate,

0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:13.720
<v Speaker 1>but you can see there's something there that's that's still hurting,

0:13:13.760 --> 0:13:16.199
<v Speaker 1>you know what I'm saying, Like, you know that a

0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:22.160
<v Speaker 1>young boy who's played football wants to see his father there. Well,

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I didn't had no dream at all. And that's Levisca

0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Channelt wide receiver from the University of Colorado, another first

0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>round hopeful. Now, I really had no dreams playing it

0:13:35.160 --> 0:13:37.760
<v Speaker 1>any sports. To the others, it was not until I

0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>got got around it and I started doing it, and

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:46.719
<v Speaker 1>I started like just overcoming obstacles and just overcoming just

0:13:46.800 --> 0:13:50.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, the hard times and just realizing like basically,

0:13:50.320 --> 0:13:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm built for this. And then of course I couldn't

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 1>play basketball because of my hand in ninth grade, because

0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 1>I really was gonna play basketball when I got two older,

0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:58.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to play basketball. I don't want to play football.

0:13:59.280 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 1>So I was gonna play basketball. But my hair and

0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:05.800
<v Speaker 1>length bread So yeah. The Dinesoto, Texas high school basketball

0:14:05.880 --> 0:14:09.200
<v Speaker 1>coach had a rule about no long hair, and Laviska

0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.960
<v Speaker 1>had grown his signature dreadlocks as a way to honor

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:14.839
<v Speaker 1>his deceased father. Got the dress. It was like a

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:18.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit aufterwards when I realized and you know, just

0:14:18.120 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 1>thought about it, and I was like, yeah, maybe maybe

0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:23.960
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't come my hair not only does it like

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.680
<v Speaker 1>represent something, and also like it's just like part of

0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:36.520
<v Speaker 1>my fashion. So I love my hair. When Laviska heard

0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:39.160
<v Speaker 1>the no longer hair rule, his mind was made up.

0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:42.800
<v Speaker 1>His basketball career was over. Instead, he focused on football,

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:46.000
<v Speaker 1>but that path was far from a straight trajectory. Here's

0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.240
<v Speaker 1>Leavisca with his family together in a house outside of Dallas,

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:52.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to sort out exactly how he got to this moment,

0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:58.200
<v Speaker 1>only days away from the NFL. Then firstman year use

0:14:58.320 --> 0:15:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the varsity kicker, Well, hello, hello, I didn't kick in too,

0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:09.560
<v Speaker 1>but I went on varsity, you know. No, I was

0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:13.760
<v Speaker 1>kicking it and punning for my team. And then when

0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.240
<v Speaker 1>he played in middle school, well he really showed out

0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Pop Warner. I wasn't running to the super Bowl two

0:15:19.000 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 1>years in the row. I was like a blull bag

0:15:21.920 --> 0:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>running back. Yeah he was tough. One time I got

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Tim Bold think you was boy. You remember I grabbed

0:15:32.240 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>he dragged out Tim boys one time. They were never

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:38.680
<v Speaker 1>They didn't know that about level. He dropped dragging all

0:15:38.680 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 1>the way to the end zone from like five yards away.

0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.360
<v Speaker 1>They could even tap on him. So he's been running

0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:51.520
<v Speaker 1>over right, So I saw it him. So when you

0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:53.640
<v Speaker 1>went to that stage where a Nang grading all this stuff,

0:15:53.920 --> 0:15:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I saw you. I'm already owen that trampoline bar Junior

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Calves boom jumping out the house jump down. Strength coaches

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:08.720
<v Speaker 1>aren't known to use the leaping off the roof onto

0:16:08.800 --> 0:16:12.160
<v Speaker 1>a trampoline method, so it's difficult to gauge with impact

0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:17.040
<v Speaker 1>that had on developing Leavisca's thirty plus inch vertical. I

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:25.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know what. Yeah, we definitely, I think kind of

0:16:26.160 --> 0:16:38.600
<v Speaker 1>jump on the roof jump. You know, my cousins came

0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and got on the trampoline. We were small in so

0:16:42.760 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 1>when we got in there, we jumped on fine jump

0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:52.880
<v Speaker 1>next or next thing, I don't know. Maybe at one time,

0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>I just kept following my leg like you're stuck in up.

0:16:56.440 --> 0:16:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Remember when policies to get up there and we spread award.

0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:02.920
<v Speaker 1>He started just like I used to be scared of

0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:08.399
<v Speaker 1>bass ye. I was trying to see here one tongue.

0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 1>And now remember when we was trying to do conflict.

0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I love I love when we play football and all

0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the time. The trampoline is only part of the story.

0:17:28.880 --> 0:17:30.760
<v Speaker 1>But I was on Lang grade B team. I just

0:17:30.840 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>started parents season I was ten grade. Was oh my god,

0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I had one touchdown. I think it wasn't until telling

0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:39.439
<v Speaker 1>It was until like I was doing scout team against

0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:42.159
<v Speaker 1>varsity and I'm out there like bawling against these like

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:44.560
<v Speaker 1>way older than like two years older than me, so

0:17:44.760 --> 0:17:46.560
<v Speaker 1>and they're saying, like you're gonna be good, You're gonna

0:17:46.560 --> 0:17:48.639
<v Speaker 1>be good. So that's when I really started. Was like okay,

0:17:49.520 --> 0:17:53.400
<v Speaker 1>so like tenth eleven grade back the time. He talking

0:17:53.440 --> 0:17:55.280
<v Speaker 1>about when he stored Scott and I told him abuse

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.119
<v Speaker 1>to look, who better than me? That's why I always

0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 1>say I'm something like you need. That's why they called

0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 1>me magic. But who better than me? That's Lepisca's mom,

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:06.640
<v Speaker 1>Annie A k A. Magic. She was a star basketball

0:18:06.680 --> 0:18:09.960
<v Speaker 1>player at the University of Dubuque, and she passed athleticism

0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:12.760
<v Speaker 1>and a love of sports to her kids, along with

0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:16.959
<v Speaker 1>the mindset to win. He had to go out there

0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and he had to pause. You don' remember that time

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:20.720
<v Speaker 1>we had and you was a little down. I remember

0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.280
<v Speaker 1>clar today. I said, son, you gotta keep your head up,

0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you gotta keep running. Who better than you? It's somebody

0:18:26.040 --> 0:18:29.000
<v Speaker 1>doing something that you think, Wow, that's that's good. Not

0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.320
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing. If they don't want to show you,

0:18:31.480 --> 0:18:34.400
<v Speaker 1>just take notes. So that's what I said. You don't

0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.479
<v Speaker 1>know when that speech who better than Me? I mean,

0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:40.560
<v Speaker 1>you didn't say a lot. I don't remember the exagg speech.

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 1>These ideas and her speeches created a certain culture within

0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:50.760
<v Speaker 1>the Chanault household. We would compete in so many games,

0:18:50.880 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 1>like in the house far as, like girls versus boys,

0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and it's kind of a water fight. They say, you're

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:03.120
<v Speaker 1>just like flicks and water on somebody and the other

0:19:03.200 --> 0:19:06.960
<v Speaker 1>person go overboard, and it just got out of hand.

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:09.920
<v Speaker 1>So now we're like getting buckets in and we just

0:19:10.040 --> 0:19:12.440
<v Speaker 1>founded anything with water. We're just throwing it like we

0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.240
<v Speaker 1>got the water holes went in the house with the

0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:19.200
<v Speaker 1>water holes. Now who you know, like going in the

0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.280
<v Speaker 1>house with the water holes, Like you gotta know, this

0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:23.960
<v Speaker 1>is somebody that's very competitive to do that. So, like,

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 1>regardless of how simple was, it just we met it.

0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Everything competitive, and I think that's what just made me

0:19:32.359 --> 0:19:35.080
<v Speaker 1>so tough. And I think that's why the whole family

0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.280
<v Speaker 1>just so tough. Whatever. We had like five football fields

0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:42.840
<v Speaker 1>behind our neighborhood and I'm ten years old at the time,

0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:46.440
<v Speaker 1>nine years old somewhere around there, and we were go

0:19:46.440 --> 0:19:50.680
<v Speaker 1>older and play football and I'm playing with two plus

0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:56.720
<v Speaker 1>year old people and I'm ten years old and I'm

0:19:56.800 --> 0:19:59.600
<v Speaker 1>just out there having fun with it and like not crying,

0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:04.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, just out there compee. So I think my

0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.440
<v Speaker 1>younger years it was definitely just made me so tough.

0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:11.639
<v Speaker 1>And I always wish that we can get back to

0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:17.560
<v Speaker 1>that level. Now instead of worrying too much about when

0:20:17.640 --> 0:20:21.800
<v Speaker 1>and where Levisca will go, they're putting demarius advice into practice.

0:20:23.240 --> 0:20:27.640
<v Speaker 1>What are y'all prepared to do? You know, it's six months.

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:30.040

<v Speaker 1>to be in this position is six months, don't wait.

0:20:33.080 --> 0:20:35.400
<v Speaker 1>They want to translate le Visca success on the gridiron

0:20:35.560 --> 0:20:39.880
<v Speaker 1>into something bigger off the field. It goes for six

0:20:39.960 --> 0:20:44.000
<v Speaker 1>months your way, like like, do you have anything specifically

0:23:55.880 --> 0:24:01.840
<v Speaker 1>some conversation have this coverage asking thing. Do you remember

0:24:01.880 --> 0:24:05.800
<v Speaker 1>that conversation. Yeah, that's Damarius Bilbo again, the agent we

0:24:05.880 --> 0:24:09.160
<v Speaker 1>heard from earlier, from seeing some of the things take

0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:14.120
<v Speaker 1>place in the media that we talked about a week ago. Right, Yeah,

0:24:17.800 --> 0:24:23.239
<v Speaker 1>you are the Unitedate Temple. But being that a lot

0:24:23.280 --> 0:24:25.720
<v Speaker 1>of these teams know that they can get a corner

0:24:25.720 --> 0:24:29.679
<v Speaker 1>at five or six. As we're Jaalen Ramsey the ladder

0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:33.639
<v Speaker 1>or Pastor Pieters and have gone. They are using a

0:24:33.800 --> 0:24:38.639
<v Speaker 1>third you know, gained some draft capital and picks across

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:41.200
<v Speaker 1>the draft. We fully expect me to be a top

0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:44.919
<v Speaker 1>team given the top seven day top poltick. That's based

0:24:44.960 --> 0:24:48.600
<v Speaker 1>on how those birth were paying uh if they stayed good.

0:24:51.960 --> 0:24:54.760
<v Speaker 1>This might seem trivial, but as we noted, the difference

0:24:54.840 --> 0:24:57.560
<v Speaker 1>between a few spots in the top ten is millions

0:24:57.640 --> 0:25:01.000
<v Speaker 1>of dollars and NFL contracts have few we're guarantees than

0:25:01.040 --> 0:25:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the other major pro sports. So watching those early first

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:08.120
<v Speaker 1>round picks unfold can be excruciating for the top prospects.

0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:10.800
<v Speaker 1>Every time they hear a different player's name called instead

0:25:10.840 --> 0:25:13.159
<v Speaker 1>of their own, they'll know they just missed out on

0:25:13.240 --> 0:25:17.120
<v Speaker 1>another million or more. Preparation and knowing what to expect

0:25:17.280 --> 0:25:19.200
<v Speaker 1>can at least help them deal with some of this

0:25:19.320 --> 0:25:24.280
<v Speaker 1>pressure and stress. Yeah, we talked about the market and

0:25:24.920 --> 0:25:29.240
<v Speaker 1>marketability and spots. Obviously you know tachot there and that's

0:25:29.320 --> 0:25:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the most money you're gonna need the top of the

0:25:31.400 --> 0:25:35.000
<v Speaker 1>big but other markets, if there's a lamp pocket that

0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 1>trades of um, that's a combination of a first five

0:25:40.000 --> 0:25:42.959
<v Speaker 1>thing and needed a great market that we can definitely

0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:45.280
<v Speaker 1>use you with some other stuff, so you know, and

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:51.040
<v Speaker 1>that whole But they're ready here. I will kind of

0:25:51.119 --> 0:25:56.160
<v Speaker 1>learn through if there's any trade after the second ummaller

0:25:56.280 --> 0:25:58.199
<v Speaker 1>go from there to make sure you're communicate with us.

0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:01.760

<v Speaker 1>a lifelong mission to reach the NFL so close he

0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:32.800
<v Speaker 1>can feel it. And this is what Jeff o'cuda is doing.

0:28:33.280 --> 0:28:36.040
<v Speaker 1>It's a perfect example of his uncanny ability to stay

0:28:36.080 --> 0:28:39.440
<v Speaker 1>focused on the present, or what scouts call his Zen

0:28:39.560 --> 0:28:42.440
<v Speaker 1>like patients, one of the many qualities that make him

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:47.240

<v Speaker 1>You're welcome. Have a good one. Beyond all the usual

0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 1>anticipation in scrutiny, this year's draft and the coming season

0:29:31.560 --> 0:29:35.480
<v Speaker 1>involve other unprecedented challenges. It's a Jeff again. Uh, I

0:29:35.560 --> 0:29:38.640
<v Speaker 1>got a call from somebody that they gotta Fermanece comes

0:29:54.680 --> 0:29:56.680

<v Speaker 1>there for you shortly, sir. Okay, thank you, You're welcome.

0:30:26.120 --> 0:30:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Have a good A potential first round picks like Jeff McKay, Levisca,

0:30:31.880 --> 0:30:35.160
<v Speaker 1>and Chase normally would fly to the city hosting the draft.

0:30:35.360 --> 0:30:39.200
<v Speaker 1>They do endless media appearances, picking out new suits, carefully

0:30:39.280 --> 0:30:42.280
<v Speaker 1>planning the moment they walk across the stage and shake

0:30:42.320 --> 0:30:45.960
<v Speaker 1>the commissioner's hand. But in almost everything is up in

0:30:46.000 --> 0:30:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the air. Literally. I wake up every morning waiting to

0:30:49.080 --> 0:30:51.640
<v Speaker 1>walk outside and see zombies. I'm like, is this a

0:30:51.880 --> 0:30:54.040
<v Speaker 1>scary movie? Like is this one of these sci fi

0:30:54.240 --> 0:30:57.480
<v Speaker 1>flicks that you know you hear this alarm and you

0:30:57.600 --> 0:30:59.480
<v Speaker 1>just start seeing people walk down the street and like,

0:30:59.520 --> 0:31:01.880
<v Speaker 1>what the hell is that? Agent to Mary is Bilbo again?

0:31:02.120 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 1>So you know, my job for the players is to

0:31:04.760 --> 0:31:08.000
<v Speaker 1>get information because there's this huge disconnect because we're dealing

0:31:08.040 --> 0:31:10.520
<v Speaker 1>with something that nobody knows what it is. And not

0:31:10.680 --> 0:31:12.800
<v Speaker 1>only are they going through their first draft experience, but

0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:16.040
<v Speaker 1>they're going through during a pandemic. So it's gonna be different.

0:31:16.280 --> 0:31:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Well I be able to have a rookie mini camp

0:31:18.520 --> 0:31:20.480
<v Speaker 1>o t a s where am I just gonna be

0:31:20.520 --> 0:31:22.520
<v Speaker 1>thrown in the fire? You know what I'm saying. Can

0:31:22.520 --> 0:31:27.160
<v Speaker 1>you can you imagine a Chase Young standing across from

0:31:27.520 --> 0:31:30.560
<v Speaker 1>an eight year veteran in camp and it's like, okay, well,

0:31:30.640 --> 0:31:32.560
<v Speaker 1>where's that rookie that's coming in with me? This is

0:31:32.560 --> 0:31:34.160
<v Speaker 1>why I gotta go against the first day, you know,

0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:37.360
<v Speaker 1>So you can hopefully say that they will be the

0:31:37.480 --> 0:31:40.400
<v Speaker 1>first and the last draft class that experiences something like this.

0:31:41.240 --> 0:31:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Here's Chase and how he's hoping to manage this year's

0:31:43.760 --> 0:31:47.160
<v Speaker 1>unusual situation. A few things have to change is we're

0:31:47.160 --> 0:31:53.640
<v Speaker 1>definitely taking taking steps to be more healthy, keeping hand synthesizer, gloves, masks,

0:31:54.000 --> 0:31:56.680
<v Speaker 1>those types of things in the car, you know, not

0:31:56.840 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>going out um to too many places for obviously what

0:32:01.160 --> 0:32:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I wear. Can't with a Gucci suit anymore because I

0:32:05.200 --> 0:32:07.760
<v Speaker 1>believe it's in Italy, they said, and they won't get

0:32:07.800 --> 0:32:10.240
<v Speaker 1>here in time, so I'll be wearing a brand called

0:32:10.320 --> 0:32:13.719
<v Speaker 1>John Elliott. I'm a designer based out of California. Might

0:32:13.800 --> 0:32:16.520
<v Speaker 1>have to change how we're doing a draft. A lot

0:32:16.600 --> 0:32:19.760
<v Speaker 1>of my friends and family will be outside, and after

0:32:19.800 --> 0:32:22.440
<v Speaker 1>I get drafted, I don't go outside and just greet

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:26.160
<v Speaker 1>them as safely and healthy as possible. And yeah, only

0:32:26.200 --> 0:32:28.760
<v Speaker 1>a few people in the house, but you know that's

0:32:28.800 --> 0:32:31.840
<v Speaker 1>how I'm planning on on doing the draft. I'm definitely

0:32:31.880 --> 0:32:35.560
<v Speaker 1>grateful for this whole opportunity. Um. I pray to God

0:32:35.640 --> 0:32:37.920
<v Speaker 1>every night and I think him for every time I

0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:42.560
<v Speaker 1>wake up, um, and and and can sleep in and

0:32:42.680 --> 0:32:47.160
<v Speaker 1>wake up again. Um. So I'm definitely grateful for this opportunity. Um,

0:32:47.360 --> 0:32:50.040
<v Speaker 1>and I'm gonna show it. I'm gonna give everything I have.

0:32:53.760 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 1>What I've really been doing is making sure that the

0:32:56.240 --> 0:32:59.920
<v Speaker 1>players understand that there are people out there that are

0:33:00.080 --> 0:33:04.960
<v Speaker 1>really facing life of death situations. So remain humble. Understand

0:33:05.040 --> 0:33:08.120
<v Speaker 1>that you're still blessed. You got to college and got

0:33:08.240 --> 0:33:11.120
<v Speaker 1>an opportunity get a free education, that's number one. You know,

0:33:11.240 --> 0:33:12.880
<v Speaker 1>you don't have that debt on yourself. You don't have

0:33:12.960 --> 0:33:14.920
<v Speaker 1>a debt on your mom. You know, even if you've

0:33:14.920 --> 0:33:17.280
<v Speaker 1>got a guy who is an undrafted guy. You know,

0:33:17.400 --> 0:33:19.640
<v Speaker 1>who makes the roster. Now you're going to the league.

0:33:20.000 --> 0:33:22.640
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna make more than most doctors make. You know,

0:33:22.840 --> 0:33:26.080
<v Speaker 1>just say salary, you know, So be thankful for those

0:33:26.160 --> 0:33:29.320
<v Speaker 1>things and that's when the bigger blessings come. And this

0:33:29.480 --> 0:33:32.200
<v Speaker 1>is the time where we focus on people and not

0:33:32.760 --> 0:33:44.000
<v Speaker 1>be that selfish athlete that's just worried about myself. Coming

0:33:44.080 --> 0:33:46.720
<v Speaker 1>up on the next episode of Drafted. The neighborhood that

0:33:46.920 --> 0:33:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Keyshan and I both grew up in. You grew up fast,

0:33:51.240 --> 0:33:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Keyshawn Vaughan. When I first had the dream of benefits

0:33:55.760 --> 0:33:59.280
<v Speaker 1>five six years old. Me having that dream is kind

0:33:59.320 --> 0:34:02.040
<v Speaker 1>of something that helped me on a straight path. You

0:34:02.200 --> 0:34:04.000
<v Speaker 1>have a lot of kids to come through and play

0:34:04.040 --> 0:34:05.520
<v Speaker 1>with a lot of passion, and play with a lot

0:34:05.600 --> 0:34:08.640
<v Speaker 1>of hard, tough, grimy and have a lot of grit.

0:34:08.840 --> 0:34:12.480
<v Speaker 1>I've coasted a lot of great bags in my seventeen

0:34:12.560 --> 0:34:16.239
<v Speaker 1>years of coaching in Metro Nashville. Then he's the best

0:34:16.320 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 1>by far. I'm a big person who want to prove

0:34:18.400 --> 0:34:21.399
<v Speaker 1>people wrong. So I mean he's been underdog. Somebody care

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:24.759
<v Speaker 1>with much pride, and I knew I had to get

0:34:24.800 --> 0:34:28.080
