1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: I was just like, what's been in the new surroundings? Um,

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,120
Speaker 1: it's been pretty well. You know, I'm from New Jersey,

3
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: so it wasn't too much of a couach of shock.

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:10,959
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It's how happy you to be? All?

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: I'm ecstatic man. You know, MetLife has brought me great memories,

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: so I'm excited to make more. How Anthor are you

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: about this defense and your role getting back to what

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: essentially what you were doing in Michigan. Man, I'm excited.

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: You know, of course best that he puts guys in

10
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: the right positions to make plays. I'm excited to you know,

11
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: join the likes of you know, guys like Ogle Tree,

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: Jack Rabbit, you know, learned from a veteran guy like

13
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: the Day and you know, just take my game to

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: the next level. You had a really unique experience in Cleveland,

15
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: going from your rookie year dealing with adversity and then

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: that second year you really broke out. What did you

17
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: learn in that year to help you get back to

18
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: what you were doing in college? You know, when you

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 1: going through a lot of adversity, you know, you definitely

20
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: learned some things. And you know, I was on the

21
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: bad end of a lot of plays, and it taught

22
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: me what not to do. Um, trust myself a lot

23
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: more and just be myself out there. You know. My

24
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: second year, you know, they put me a little closer

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: to the line. I also still played, you know, free

26
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: a little bit, but I was definitely able to be

27
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: more aggressive, get more in tune in the game. And

28
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: you know, I think it definitely showed on tape. Mm hmm.

29
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: Chabrill has always been a question around you. I mean

30
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: I remember your back freshman year at don Bosco. Yeah,

31
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,400
Speaker 1: idea of expectations and how good you could be going

32
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: into year three in the NFL. How good do you

33
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: believe you can still be in this league? Um? You know,

34
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: no one's expectations are hard in mine. You know, hold

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: myself to a high level. Um. You know I put

36
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,680
Speaker 1: in the work, um, the preparation to you know, play

37
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: at a high level. Um. And you know I'm just

38
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: excited to you know, get out there and do what

39
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: I do best. Have you ever doubted yourself over the

40
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: ups and downs of the West asolutely not white? What

41
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 1: what about you? Just no matter how things are going, man,

42
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: you gotta stay ten toes now, Um, stay level head

43
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: that you know, and uh, you know, just keep pushing through.

44
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, whether things are going well or things are

45
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: not going well, you gotta be the same guy. This

46
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,080
Speaker 1: is clearly a new team for you if you look

47
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: at it almost as a new start in some ways. Um,

48
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: in some ways. Um, but you know again, I've been

49
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: you know, well acclimated to the league. You know, it's

50
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: going on your three. Um. You know, I I like

51
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: to you know, consider myself as a mature guy. Now. Um,

52
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: you know I have played a lot of football, you know.

53
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: Then I saw a lot, um learned a lot and uh,

54
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, I'm willing to put forth everything and you know,

55
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: bring it all together. Giant fans, you know, and analyzing.

56
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: You know, obviously you're part of a mega trade with

57
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: a with a superstar receiver going the other way. Um,

58
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: you know, and look at it and say they got

59
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: a first round pick, they got a third round pick,

60
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: and they got you. Um, and you're Johnny too is

61
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: basically saying, well, that's another first round pick and you

62
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: were a first round pick. It. But if you view

63
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 1: yourself as that that I'm a you know, a worthy

64
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: part of this deal because I'm a first round pick

65
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: also like like oh Yelo's basically, um, you know, I

66
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: think they're gonna get a guy who's gonna come in

67
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: here and work extremely hard to put his best foot forward. Um,

68
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: a guy who's the best football is ahead of him.

69
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm gonna let my film do the

70
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: talking for me. So that's the kind of guy to

71
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: guy had said that he remembered for when he pulled

72
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: the trigger on the train. He remembered meeting with your

73
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: predraft meeting down in Carolina. Did you remember that? What?

74
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: What was that later? What do you remember from Dave

75
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: and that meeting versus maybe when he called you for

76
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: the first um, you know, basically the same guy you know, upbeat,

77
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, happy, gotta loves football, loves talking football. Um,

78
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: and now it's just it's it's crazy, how to you know,

79
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: how the world turns. You know, now I'm playing for him.

80
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: So you know, we had a very insightful meeting down

81
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: there in Carolina. You know, now I'm here, you know,

82
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: that's that's just how I go. Sometimes. Did you leave

83
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: the meeting back then? When you met with him in Carolina?

84
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: You though, you know what, maybe this guy likes me

85
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: and maybe I know, was that not part of it?

86
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: Not really, you know, I just try to go in,

87
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, try to show, you know, I'm a I'm

88
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: a bright guy, you know, both on and off the field.

89
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: You know that my personality, you know, show a little

90
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: bit to see what kind of guy they're gonna get.

91
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: But um, you know, you you never know who's gonna

92
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: get you, you know when it's when it's draft time.

93
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: So um, I didn't really put too much thought into it. Um.

94
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: And then plus I had, like, you know, a lot

95
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: of meetings, so you know, with Cleve when you played

96
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: closer to the line, I mean, can you alternate though

97
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 1: switching that with Antoine? And maybe you're being more the

98
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: bad guy too? Absolutely absolutely different culture. Is that just

99
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: part of the job. It's just part of the job,

100
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, it's nothing difficult about it. I should have

101
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: looked I should have looked this up. But had had

102
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: Gary got into the PC when you were still there?

103
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: Or did he come in when you had graduated? He

104
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: came in when I graduated. Yeah, I tried to get

105
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: on the year before, but it didn't go as playing

106
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: oh here, yeah we got him a year later though.

107
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: Just curious, I mean, obviously you know the Michigan stuff.

108
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: How close are you guys? And have you given him

109
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: any advice in terms of the draft? Told him, you

110
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: know it's gonna be a process. Um, you know, just

111
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 1: stays keep a smile on your face, you know, stay upbeat,

112
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: and it'll be It'll all be worth it. You know,

113
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: you don't want to have a day where you don't

114
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: feel like doing anything, and you know you go see

115
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: a team that's really interested in you, and you know

116
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: maybe you didn't get enough sleep because you were across

117
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: the country meeting with another team. Now you have to

118
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: meet with this team today. So I just told him

119
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: keep a smile on his face with everything. You know,

120
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: work hard and you know the cars will fall what

121
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: they make to see him when he came here for

122
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: his top three? Did it? I did it? Would that

123
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: be uh wild if somehow he ended up here, it

124
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: would be definitely. Definitely over the over time, probably when

125
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 1: you grew up, the position was known as free safety,

126
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: strong safety, but now it's more of the combo say

127
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: the guys that can play both. Have you seen that

128
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: position committy all over time? And do you see yourself

129
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: as a combo guy? Um? Definitely, you know as the

130
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: league became more of a passing league, you know, the

131
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: guys in the back end have to be able to

132
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 1: do both, you know. You know, you're still still guys

133
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: in here that can run the ball um you know,

134
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: try to you know, run it up and to open

135
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 1: the pass up. So you gotta be able to, you know,

136
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: do both. Definitely,
