For sure. Yeah, I know the workout you had, 26 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,160 Speaker 1: you know, it was something you talked about this week. 27 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,160 Speaker 1: It's something Chris Ballard has talked about. The you know, 28 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 1: how good of a workout it was. Did you kind 29 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: of get a sense at that point of like, you know, 30 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: starting visioning yourself with the Colts? Yeah, no, I definitely, 31 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 1: like after that workout, I didn't. Before that, I hadn't 32 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: really talked to the coach much, and so I hadn't 33 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: really thought about them as much as a landing spot. 34 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: But after that workout, you know, they really they said 35 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: how in press they were, and I kind of looked 36 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: into it more and I was like, wow, this is 37 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 1: like this is a really good landing spot. They got 38 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: a really good football team. I know, they just missed 39 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, but they really had all the 40 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: pieces to make a run. I'm like, and you know 41 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: that's you know, that's my biggest goal is to win 42 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl so just I wanted I would love 43 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: to come to the team that had all the pieces, 44 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: was ready and like was close, and I think that's 45 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: that's what we got here. How was it hit you 46 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 1: over the last twenty four hours that you got drafted? 47 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: You all, you know, thinking about all the work you 48 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 1: put in, Like I saw, like the second to last 49 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: tweet on your timeline was your two thousand eleven football 50 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: highlight video where you're like joking dudes out of their 51 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: shoes when you're a little kid. But like you think 52 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: about just like your journey to get to this point. 53 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: Have you reflected on that at all? Uh? Yeah, I 54 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: reflect on a little bit. You know. Um, especially draft 55 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: day is very you can get very nostalgic and look 56 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: back at you know, like I saw a bunch of 57 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 1: pictures of me as a kid playing like flag football 58 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: and then tackle football and just you know, looking looking 59 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: hilarious out there, big pads on a little kid. Um. 60 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: But yeah, it's for sure, it's nostalgic, and you know 61 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: it's it's really just kind of a culmination of all 62 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 1: the work I've put in and all the hours. So 63 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: it's amazing. But you don't seem like someone who is 64 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: going to just be satisfied just being drafted, do you 65 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,679 Speaker 1: for sure? Sure? I you know I have very high 66 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: aspirations and you know I want to continue to work 67 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,360 Speaker 1: to become a better football player every day. It's Alec Pierce, 68 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: Colt's second rounder. We're talking. When did you have an 69 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: idea Ale that the next level is for you? The 70 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: reason I'm asking is last season you torched him. We 71 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: saw what did the notre day game, for instance, one 72 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: hundred and forty four yards played great the year before, 73 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 1: only six games coming off an injury. When did they 74 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: start clicking with you that, hey, I may be playing 75 00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 1: football on Sunday. Yeah, I think I knew. Um my 76 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 1: sophomore year, I had so my freshman year, I just 77 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: played on special teams. My sophomore year, I got in 78 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: there and work my way to me and starting receiver 79 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: and I ended up, you know, leading the team and 80 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: receiving yards that year. Um. But I had a big game. 81 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: I had a big game playing against Ohio State. Um, 82 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: because they they had two first round cornerbacks and I 83 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: was able to you know, we got we got killed 84 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: that game forty two zero. But um, I think I 85 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: had close to hundred yards receiving, So that just for me, 86 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: you know, gave me the confidence. I'm like, if if 87 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: I was able to get open against if these are 88 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: the two best, two of the best cornerbacks in college football, 89 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 1: and I was able to have success against them, Like, 90 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of the sky's the limit. I 91 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: can do this at the next level. What's the knack 92 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: for you getting behind guys? You find wiggle room in 93 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: space when you catch the football. We've seen all the 94 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: highlights from what you do. What is it? I know 95 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 1: you can see you got speed to burn as well. Yeah. Um, 96 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: you know, I think I'm just big, fast athletic and 97 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: you know, able able to get up there and jump 98 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 1: over people too. Um. But yeah, technique is definitely something 99 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm working on and always need to get better at. Um. 100 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: I was definitely very raw, especially early on in college, 101 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: and I think I need to keep on getting better 102 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,160 Speaker 1: at that and that'll help me to get more separation. 103 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: I was speaking of raw, real quick, little linebacker play 104 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: really in his career at Scina, and then he switched 105 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: the other side of the ball, So you do have 106 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: that nastiness. Yeah, for sure. I played a little bit 107 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 1: of sam linebacker like basically almost like like a defensive 108 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 1: back safety hybrid. Um played that for a little bit 109 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: my bowl practice is my my freshman year, and you know, 110 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: it's awesome. I enjoyed it. Made a couple of interceptions 111 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: in practice, you know, fitting fitting the inside zone was 112 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: it was, it was tough, but perimeter runs and passing plays. 113 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 1: I loved it right right right Yeah. But um, I 114 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: would have had to gain a lot of weight and 115 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: I would have been a long road to probably playing 116 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: at that spot. So I'm your choice, man Goad Brothers, 117 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: Where where does that physicality come from? Though? Because when 118 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: I was, you know, looking into your background, I was like, 119 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 1: all right, you got a couple of brothers who are 120 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: basketball players. You know, your your older brother played basketball 121 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: at UNC and William and marry your younger brothers going 122 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: to Princeton. Yeah, what was it like growing up in 123 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: the Pierce household? Is that kind of where you had 124 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: to develop that toughness and physicality for sure? Especially competitiveness. Um, 125 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, we just grew up playing like everything and 126 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: competing and everything like it could be. You know, we 127 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: played a ton of whiffleball on our battle baseball and 128 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: like the games would never finish, like it would end 129 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 1: in a fight. And then in the fight, like someone's 130 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: calling someone out and someone's like no, that that called no, No, 131 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: that's not that's not the right calling. It just ends 132 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: up in a fight. So yeah, we're super competitive, and 133 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: it's all aspects of you know, not even just games 134 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 1: but life. You're playing like board games, you're playing cards, 135 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: you're playing video games. Like we're just super competitive and 136 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: that's what we love doing. Both your parents are athletes. 137 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: Your dad played football at Northwestern. Your mom's volleyball. Is 138 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,040 Speaker 1: that right, that's right, that's correct. So yeah, I think 139 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: it was just you know, in our blood you can 140 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: kill it, and saying volleyball game you could kill That's 141 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I know you played, and you got 142 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: the parents with the lineage ere, so I know you 143 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: kill it in san volleyball. I'm a lefty two. It's 144 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: all right. It's like being a lefty pitcher, like it's 145 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: the chances of making it probably in san volleyball, because 146 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: you want one righty, one lefty, so he's got the hop. 147 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 1: So talking to you, run an athlete. We got one 148 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: in the second round from Cincinnati, Reggie Wayne, your wide 149 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: receiver coach.
