Speaker 2: Like?

43
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: I would imagine like a gunner. Is that something that

44
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: you did a lot of? Like what were some of

45

Speaker 2: willing to learn and step they be able.

51
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: To help, that's great. And I guess the last question

52
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: I had, if anyone else had any questions, they can

53
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: maybe jumping after me, is just like what type of

54
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: contact did you have with the Patriots, you know, leading

55
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: into the draft, and like did you did you come

56
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,320

57
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,679

Speaker 2: you never know what's gonna happen and when they get happen,

60
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: and so I mean I had talked to a lot

61
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: of coaches, I had talked to the Patriots throughout the process,

62
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: but you know, I just didn't know who exactly what

63
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 2: was gonna happen, and when it was what happen. So

64
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,680

68
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 4: Here then you transferred to for your final season. I'm

69
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 4: just wondering what went into the decision that to pick

70
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 4: Michigan State and what was it like to play a

71
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,399
Speaker 4: lot more defense and for them than you do had

72
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 4: previously with.

73
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: Georgian and my decision the chance ofially state. It had

74
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: a lot to do with I get with coach Tucker

75
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 2: coas Tucker included Bonnet. Those are two coaches I was

76
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: deciding between coming out of high school, you know, and

77
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: so the fact that those two guys were together felt

78
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 2: like the perfect opportunities. Need to come in and help them,

79
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: be able to help them best teams in defense and

80
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: just have a chance to play BB And they gave

81
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: the opportunity to do that and be a player. And

82
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 2: I think that for that, and I'm very blessed because

83
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: they help me where I am today.

84
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 4: Do you think that that season, you know, playing twelve

85
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 4: games for them and playing a lot more the defense

86
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: helped expose you more to to pro teams looking at you.

87
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, I agree. You know, I've always felt like

88
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 2: I was an NFL talent player and I knew I

89
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: could get to the NFL, you know, so I have

90
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 2: a chance to grod being and be a player. It

91
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 2: was a blessing, and you know, I just sound very

92
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: thankful for it. I just waste my chance and opportunity

93
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: thanking me a congratulations, Yes, sir, thank you.

94
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had had another hand raised here John Seranidis,

95
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: and I think Mike g Reece has another question. Great John,

96
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 3: Thanks Stacey, Hey, I'm here. Congratulations. Hey, you've kind of

97
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 3: touched on this, but I just kind of wanted to

98
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: follow up on having the opportunity to go to Michigan

99
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: State play for coach Tucker coach Barnett, who of course

100
00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 3: play for the Patriots. But how did that help you

101
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 3: in terms of being more than a special teams player

102
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 3: and getting an opportunity to play more every down and

103
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,359
Speaker 3: getting an opportunity to play corner but also play some

104
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 3: safety as well. Can you pick the question when with

105
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 3: Tom Slayer, I was kind of diffused. I just wanted

106
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 3: to ask you how it helped you transferring from Georgia

107
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 3: Michigan State and getting an opportunity to play more every

108
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 3: down snaps at corner and safety as well.

109
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: Oh yes, sir, chance it over. You know, it gave

110
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: me the opportunity to just get comfortable, you know, practicing

111
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: all the time. It's not always going to make you

112
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 2: a better play you know, of course you get better

113
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: day in practice, but be able to have her get experience.

114
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: I think it's helpful and I believe to help me

115
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: and so just having that chance to actually go out

116
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 2: there and just play and be able to be a

117
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: leader and just help my team out. You know, I

118
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: had fun. It was awesome.

119
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 3: Thanks to many, appreciate it. Congratulations again, Yes, sir, thank

120
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 3: your last question, Mike Greece, Did you have another question?

121
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:40,559
Speaker 1: I did, Stace.

122
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:40,919
Speaker 3: Thanks.

123
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: You know what I was thinking to me, I should

124
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: probably ask you about Bryce, your teammate right coming in here.

125
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 2: Thanks.

126
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 1: What type of punter are the Patriots getting and how cool.

127
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 3: Is that to share that?

128
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 2: Thanks? You know, Bryce is my guy. You know, he

129
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 2: was one of the people when I first came in

130
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: that you know at me in it was just being

131
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 2: the con and his true friend. You know. When I

132
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 2: was at Georgia my last year, we had another great

133
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: kicker and punner, j Carmarda, and so he was just

134
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: always asking questions just how the type of person he

135
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: was and how you practice, just so you know, if

136
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: he could pick up the habits, because you know, he

137
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: want to be the best person that he could beat.

138
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: And you know, the shows out of the season, like

139
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: how what you saw in the games he was probably

140
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: having been crazier ones in practice. You know, he's a

141
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 2: he's a cheer team player, he's gonna be ready to

142
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: work and from Craig Bass, he's a great guy though,

143
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 2: was definitely a great guy. Thanks a lot, congrats, Yes sir,

144
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you, Mirror, Thanks everyone,
