You know, obviously you and the leak big 3 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: part of the future with a thousand yards plus piece 4 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: from scrimmage. As you take this into the off season, 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: what kind of things are you gonna remember? What kind 6 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:13,360 Speaker 1: of things are you gonna want to build on. 7 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm always gonna remember all the good times 8 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: obviously the bad times. Those are the times that like 9 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,960 Speaker 2: you can really build you know, build character with the 10 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 2: rookie class and also you know as the team. You know, 11 00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 2: the locker room moments. You know, I feel like other 12 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 2: things that you're never gonna get back, all the last 13 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 2: all the good times that you guys have, and then 14 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 2: I think I want to work on it is really 15 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 2: just better myself, you know, making sure that when I 16 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 2: do come back, I can really just pick up where 17 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: I left off. You know, I'm not gonna you know, 18 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 2: take any steps back or kind of you know, some 19 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,559 Speaker 2: people have to knock the rest off. I'm just want 20 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,839 Speaker 2: to hit the ground running and really just take off, 21 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 2: you know wherever I left left at left it at. 22 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: But personally, I think I did it well for my 23 00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 2: first season. But I think my next season coming back, 24 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 2: I'm gonna try to, you know, really double it and. 25 00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: Do better. We know that you've always had a lot 26 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: of confident since you walked onto campus here with the Giants, 27 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: not what you had to prove to yourself, because I 28 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,039 Speaker 1: know you knew. What did you have to prove to 29 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: other people as being a running back in this league? 30 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: What do you think you did there? Yeah? 31 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,839 Speaker 2: I think people you always got to prove things, especially 32 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,479 Speaker 2: since me coming from a receiver to a running back, 33 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 2: A lot of people didn't didn't know, you know, who 34 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: I was or what I could do. So I really 35 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 2: had to really just show them, you know, who I 36 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: was on the football field, the type of energy and 37 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: passion I played with. And I think I did that. 38 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: You know, I think I did that. I really just 39 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 2: wanted to earn respect. I think that was the main 40 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: thing for me. I wanted to earn respect from obviously 41 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 2: my peers, my teammates, my coach, step and also others 42 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,400 Speaker 2: around the league. Again, I think I did that as well. 43 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 1: What surprised you about your rookie season in the league 44 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: that you didn't expect or you didn't know what's gonna 45 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,559 Speaker 1: be as part of the professional game. 46 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: I was really like prepared for a lot of things. 47 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: I think the one thing that constipped me just like 48 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: the ur O line and like how we had to 49 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: like mix a match and put people different places. But 50 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 2: that was really it, you know. I feel like I 51 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: handled everything pretty well when things was thrown at me. Again, 52 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: I handled it well. I got thrown in the fire 53 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,559 Speaker 2: a little bit towards at the beginning of the season 54 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: when motor got went down. But I went in there, 55 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: you know, prepared like a starter and again handled my business. 56 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: And yeah, and the season went offrom there. 57 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: Okay, Finally, what did you learn about yourself as a 58 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: person and as a player after going through this experience? 59 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I'm I'm I'm resilient. I mean, I 60 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: think that I can really do this running back thing, 61 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 2: you know, you know, so I think I could do that. 62 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: I think I can be pretty good at it. Again, 63 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 2: I have some things to clean up the old line, 64 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: did they Again? They're we're playing mixed match, you know, 65 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: at the old on spot. So I got to give 66 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: all the credit to them when it comes to, you know, 67 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 2: some of my records and the things that I've done, 68 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 2: you know, on the football field, I have to give 69 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 2: credit to the O line, but again, I think I 70 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 2: can take another step forward the next season from where 71 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: I'm at now, and I'm just excited for what's to come.
