What kind of instruction have you 104 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: gotten to this point from the Bills coaching staff, from 105 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: the GM what of that? What have they told you, 106 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,359 Speaker 1: not just about drafting you, about what they expect in 107 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: the coming days, you know, just dominated what you can control, 108 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: dominators you control. Obviously we're doing virtual stuff. So learning 109 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 1: the system. Learning the system is going to be big, formation, concepts, emotions, 110 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: you know, just learning all those things. Once I get 111 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: on the field, I can just slide and play and 112 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: be the player that I know I am. Obviously, me 113 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 1: and Isaiah come in as bigger receivers, you know, those 114 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: bigger guys on the outside, you know, making big plays. 115 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,600 Speaker 1: So but at the end of the day, I love 116 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: the builds because staff I can already tell what kind 117 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: of a you know, how how how it rules over 118 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 1: there and Buffalo and it's gonna be great. I'm so heady, 119 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: it's gonna be in a better spot. A guy with 120 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: your size, Gabriel, as big as you are, you know, 121 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,559 Speaker 1: the height is six two less than the two hundred 122 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 1: and sixteen two hundred and twenty pounds. What can you 123 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 1: do with that size? And maybe a smaller receiver is 124 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: not capable of doing it? And what are you trying 125 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: to do to maximize that. Um yeah, I mean just 126 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: you know, using my size and advantage. Obviously I'm not 127 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 1: gonna play um like those small, quick, twitchy receivers. Umm. 128 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: Not saying that I ain't. I'm not quick and twitchy, 129 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 1: but obviously those bigger plays downfield, those deep balls, those 130 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 1: fifty fifty balls. I know I have to compete four 131 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: need being you know the statue that I am. But 132 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: I mean what I mean. You know I've been studying 133 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: Bills Builds a film. I mean, those guys easily, you 134 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: know Brown, you know all those guys are making those plays. 135 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: They're making the same type of plays I need to make. 136 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 1: So I just know, I knew I just need to 137 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: to the coach bring a little bit more of that 138 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,000 Speaker 1: to the game, and I know I will. You've also 139 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: spent some time with the former UCF receiver Brandon Marshall. 140 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 1: You broke his school receiving record last season with twelve 141 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: hundred and forty one yards. Did you hear from him 142 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: after you broke that record? Oh?
