1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: Congratulations, Cam.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,600
Speaker 2: How much time have you spent studying George Kittle and

3
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: just the way the forty nine ers use tight ends

4
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:06,960
Speaker 2: in this offense?

5
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Man, That's all I watch, especially the run game.

6
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 3: I'll try to model my game after George watch them

7
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 3: these last three years with my tight ends coach, and

8
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 3: just try to take tools that he's been using.

9
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: In the run game, in passing game and just apply

10
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: to my game.

11
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 3: So to team up with him and be on the

12
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 3: same team is very a blessing just to be able

13
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 3: to learn an end.

14
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: So can everyone hear me?

15
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 4: All right?

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 1: We got you? Go ahead, Cam? Okay, all right?

17
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, can you just kind of talk about your evolution

18
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 4: from switching to tight end and just how that's gone

19
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 4: and where you think you're headed.

20
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 3: So I've transitioned from being a tight end following my

21
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 3: freshman year and just kind of just took good year

22
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 3: to year, day to day, and now I'm make the

23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 3: position where I'm at just by being consistent day to

24
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: day and finding a routine within myself.

25
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: And I continue to do that when I entered.

26
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 3: The NFL and just progressing my game daily, and I

27
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 3: can't wait to see what it has with his coaching

28
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 3: staff and the player of the room.

29
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: Sorry, say that one more time. You're good, Cam, give

30
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: us a set.

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 3: I think he said, why did that make the move?

32
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: So I couldn't read it. I couldn't hear him. I

33
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 3: read his lips. But if he did, is that what

34
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: he said?

35
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: Go ahead? Okay, go ahead, Cam?

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 4: Ready to go to Cam? All right?

37
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Yeah? So I mean, why did you want to make

38
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: the move? What did you see yourself doing?

39
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 3: You know, when coach Sarkejan came into the picture with

40
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: the offensive cornerator position at Alabama, you know, he kind

41
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: of questioned to see if I wanted to play the position,

42
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: and then coach Saban also asked me the same question

43
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 3: because we kind of needed bodies that tight end and

44
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 3: I kind of played the position in high school to

45
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 3: fit the position he thought.

46
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: And then you know, I made the switch for the

47
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: team and it ended up being.

48
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: A great fit for myself and just started developing in

49
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 3: the as far as that position daily. Finding weakness is

50
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 3: every day.

51
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: So anybody else for Cam, we'll give us that.

52
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 4: Go ahead, Barrows, Yeah, I just wanted to know what

53
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 4: you what you know about the forty nine ers, their offense,

54
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 4: how they use their tight ends. Obviously you're going to

55
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 4: be on the field a lot with George Kittle, just

56
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 4: about sort of the dual role that you might be

57
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: in in San Francisco.

58
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I watched a lot of their tape

59
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: and a lot of run stuff that we do at Alabama.

60
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 3: We kind of stole from the forty nine ers because

61
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: their their run game package is pretty phenomenal in that area.

62
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: And just the key factors of George Kittle's blocking and

63
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 3: his technique, and like I learned a lot from him

64
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: in that part of the game. And then and then

65
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 3: you go to the passing game, you know he does

66
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: the same thing just as well.

67
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: Contested catches, yack after the catch.

68
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: I just know they really use the Titan heavy and

69
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 3: I'm excited to go learn under that offense.

70
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: Cameron, what do you think your strengths are as a

71
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: tight end? You talked about run blocking and pass catching.

72
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: What do you think is your strongest part of your game.

73
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 3: I think I'm a balanced tight end. I think I

74
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: could do it all. You can put me in anywhere position,

75
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 3: any position, I think I could. I could be excellent

76
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 3: at it. Like I said, I have areas to improve

77
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: in both passing and run blocking. But that's just technical

78
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: things that I probably need to work on, and that's

79
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: why I'm gonna attack daily when.

80
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: I get that.

81
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: They said on the Draft Prodect podcast that it seemed

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: like you were getting better and better as the as

83
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 4: the season went on, that your your best games came

84
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: at the end.

85
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: I mean, did you.

86
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: Feel that out there that your confidence with what you

87
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 4: were doing was was was growing as the season went on?

88
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely.

89
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 3: You know, as much as I just gained my confidence

90
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 3: with this through preparation, do recovery, getting my body right,

91
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 3: and uh just getting ready for the games on Saturday,

92
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,719
Speaker 3: just being confident by my preparation is what I do

93
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: in practice.

94
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:29,360

123
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: the number one athlete coming out of high school. That's

124
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: what I known him as.

125
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,400

00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,120
