Thirty five passes, touchdowns, 7 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,079 Speaker 2: ten receptions, you had another I think ten Russing touchdowns, 8 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: come from behind victory. 9 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,640 Speaker 1: You guys did it all. 10 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,959 Speaker 2: What transpired that year that you was like, I got it. 11 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,519 Speaker 3: It was definitely harmony, but also a trust in coaching, 12 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 3: knowing that that's really when Riverboat Run was giving me 13 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,960 Speaker 3: an opportunity, Like I feel comfortable with the ball in 14 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 3: my hands. Let me run. I know how to protect myself. 15 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:57,960 Speaker 3: I know how the chest of the philosophy of the game. 16 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 3: If we're in any short yardag shit situations, let's make 17 00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 3: the defense play eleven on eleven. Just leave me with 18 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:05,399 Speaker 3: one guy. 19 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: I can run through, run, pass, go around. 20 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 3: I can find a way to get a yard, put 21 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,759 Speaker 3: the ball in my hands and have I think they 22 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 3: that was the year they had more design runs and 23 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 3: that's why I felt comfortable, like when you look at 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 3: all the success that I had in my career high school, 25 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 3: even in college, I was able to protect myself by 26 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 3: running the football, even though that the game at that 27 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 3: point in time didn't see nothing like that. I don't 28 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 3: know what they're gonna do with, you know, taking the 29 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:38,639 Speaker 3: hit socket I could protect myself outside the pocket. 30 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: Now we see. 31 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 3: Richardson and the Colts, we see Lamar, we see you 32 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: know all these run first quarterbacks that they. 33 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,920 Speaker 2: Was designed the run. You guys had power. You pull 34 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: the guard to tackle and the fullback and we're. 35 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: Gonna figure it out. Let's get the butter. 36 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 3: Front the duck. You know what I'm saying That that 37 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 3: was the time where things started coming into play. Then 38 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 3: you started saying, let's design passes off of this, pull 39 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 3: the same guard, the same full back ride, and then 40 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 3: boom the RPOs. So when people talking about the RPO like, 41 00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: these are the things that derived from something we was 42 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: doing that with a quarterback as the runner. 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, the major primary ball caids. You know what I'm saying. 44 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 3: Yea. So my relationship with Mike Schuler Ken Dorsey was 45 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 3: my quarterback coach and even coach Rivera like it was 46 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 3: messioned that year, and that's where it pretty much came 47 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 3: down to. 48 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: You beat the Cardinals in the NBC Championship Game. You 49 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: destroyed them, and you get to the super Bowl. So 50 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 2: what's your thought process? You're like, Man, I'm the MVP, 51 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 2: I'm in the super Bowl. It was a glory.

You know what I'm saying. 102 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 3: You played in the school, like you know, like it's 103 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 3: you can explain it, but to be in it. 104 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: Them lights is bright, the crowd. 105 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 2: Is already buzzing because normally you want out do you 106 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 2: go out there for pregame? This is stadium half full, 107 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 2: that's the stadium is three quarter full. 108 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: And it's buzzing. The sideline is jam packed. 109 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: You got to excuse me, excuse me, camera people, And 110 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 2: like you said, the celebs normally have one or two celebs, 111 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: but you got the start the stars that's out on 112 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 2: the sideline then and you see it. But you know, 113 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 2: like you said, you try to prepare like that it's 114 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 2: a regular game. You know, a three points for a 115 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 2: field goal touchdown to six intercessory. 116 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 3: But the thing leading up at the game. You couldn't 117 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 3: do your regular routine. It was like a virtual kind 118 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 3: of preparation. You couldn't have the confines of your house 119 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: to get treatment, you know, massage, stretching, and that process 120 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 3: was on the road on the goal. And I don't 121 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 3: remember the crowd being loud, you know what I'm saying, Like. 122 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: No, because you got half the stadium was for the Broncos. 123 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 2: Half the stadium was for the Carolina Panthers. The other 124 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 2: half was drunk and they ain't give a damn who. 125 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 3: It was an event that, you know, when I think 126 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 3: about it, it didn't like none of this has anything. 127 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: To do with the actual game. 128 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: Right, But certain players that played back in my mind 129 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 3: constantly still to this day. It's like, Yo, what if 130 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: he would have caught that, or what if I would 131 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 3: have dole on the fumble? What if you know, the 132 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 3: defense would have got to stop right here? Or what 133 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 3: if you know we didn't have a three or out 134 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 3: right there? You know what I'm saying, what if we 135 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 3: would have went for? Like these things played back constantly 136 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 3: that preparing for a game of that magnitude. 137 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: I did not. 138 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: Give the respect to it, like I should because there's 139 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 3: nothing bigger than the Super Bowl, no sporting event, and that's. 140 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 2: What I just you know, you know they're gonna pick 141 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: a part about what you said about you being tired, 142 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 2: you being this game you felt different. 143 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 3: Than Yeah, but it's the truth. I mean, look, did 144 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 3: I play my best game? 145 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,679 Speaker 1: No? No, didn't. But the truth is did Peyton Many 146 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: play his best game? No? 147 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 2: No, both of you guys, I think will sack like 148 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: four or five times through a pig fumble. 149 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, like those things are. 150 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 3: It's just that wasn't the best version of myself that day, 151 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 3: and I'm fine with that, and I found peace in 152 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: it now. I wouldn't even say it wasn't meant to be. 153 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 3: It was just like I just didn't put my best 154 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 3: foot forward. 155 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 2: That funer you mentioned, you got stripped of the ball 156 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 2: and the balls on the ground bouncing around, and everybody 157 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 2: thought you were going to jump dive on the ball 158 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 2: at least give yourself another possession and another opportunity. That 159 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 2: didn't happen. How long has it taken? How long or 160 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 2: have you gotten over that play? And how long did 161 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: it take you to get over the Super Bowl losses? 162 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: I mean I took it personal pretty much like a 163 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: whole year. 164 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 3: And then when I felt like we could get vindicated 165 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 3: or have vengeance or revenge from that, we lost because 166 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 3: of miss field goal and the. 167 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: Rematch to start the season kick off. But yeah, that's 168 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: what I take. 169 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:06,319 Speaker 3: I mean, I'll say that we didn't lose the game 170 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 3: because I didn't jump on the phone. It was a 171 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: combination of a lot of a lot of different things. 172 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 3: But we lost, And I take full accountability on my 173 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 3: you know, performance, and I could have been better. 174 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: I should have been better. 175 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 2: Right, So the part of your we've touched on a 176 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 2: lot of things, and you touched on a lot of things. 177 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 2: The one thing that you didn't haven't touched a lot 178 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 2: on that I can't recall is your brief stint at 179 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 2: the University of Florida.

You 192 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: have a package. 193 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 3: Also, it's like t bo okay, and that's what okay, okay, 194 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 3: y'all won the national championship. 195 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 1: A lot of these guys coming back.

Then that transition into I could throw 205 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 3: the furthest so now you can play quarterbacks. So these 206 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,960 Speaker 3: things is a part of my whole thing that embodied 207 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: who I was. 208 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:54,199 Speaker 1: That's a player. 209 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: So you get there and it's not shaping up kind 210 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 2: of how they what they had told you or the 211 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 2: way you envision it, because all of a sudden you're 212 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 2: not getting these four to five plays a game, and 213 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: so did you have a conversation with Urban. 214 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 3: Urban was he didn't want to talk to me.

And granted, 216 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,560 Speaker 3: you gotta think about it like this, do you even 217 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: have a voice to talk when the person you're trying 218 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 3: to talk about is the Heisman front runner?

I'm not that type of person, right right. 224 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 3: You don't want to put that negative in there yet 225 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 3: I was. I'm an ultimate pro. I'm an ultimate teammate. 226 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 3: Like I wanted people to succeed.

We worked out together, we trained together, 262 00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 3: we bled together, we cried together, we sweated together, we 263 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: we prepared together. And I'm seeing guys like Joe Hayden 264 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,719 Speaker 3: play early as a freshman. I said, Damn, Bro, I 265 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,840 Speaker 3: would love to have an opportunity to play Marquise Pouncy 266 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 3: playing early man. I would have loved to air her 267 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 3: Nande's playing Earth.

It wasn't for me. You know. 274 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 3: The main everything, all the reasons why I went to 275 00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 3: Florida was accomplished other than me playing, And that's why 276 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 3: I had to leave, and at that time they'd had 277 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: to transfer Portal, so I had to get it out 278 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 3: the mud. You. Irvin Mayer had to sign off to 279 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 3: where I transferred to. 280 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 1: He gave certain restrictions. You cannot transfer to uh in state, 281 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: in state school, so f. 282 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 3: A, U f I U, Florida State. I couldn't go 283 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 3: to none of them. And I couldn't go anywhere CEC. 284 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 3: So I said, how do I clear all that so 285 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 3: I can go anywhere? I gotta go Juco? I said, shit, 286 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 3: I'm going Juco. And on top of that, what really 287 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 3: ticked me the fuck off was when my father had 288 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 3: called Urban to ask for a championship ring. He didn't 289 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 3: give me a championship ring. So that really was my 290 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 3: driving force to becoming the player. 291 00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: Who I was. 292 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 3: I said, don't worry about it. I'm gonna go get 293 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 3: my own. Got one at Juco, got one at Auburn. 294 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 2: You could make the case given the talent that you 295 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,040 Speaker 2: had at Auburn on the offensive side, cam you had 296 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 2: the greatest offensive season for a quarterback, and then in 297 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 2: NCAA history. Now, I know Joe Burrow threw for sixty 298 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 2: touchdowns and five thousand yards, but he had Justin Jefferson, 299 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: he had Jamar Chase, he had Clyde Edwards, a layer 300 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 2: he had I forget the guy's name. Hes tight end 301 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: lost it. Tight end Andy had to. If I'm not 302 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 2: miss thinking of other wide receiver. The third wide receiver 303 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 2: is in Carolina now, So what you had, look at 304 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 2: the look at what you didn't have, and what you 305 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 2: were able to accomplish. So basically, Jimmy close, a little 306 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 2: fire up under you, Tim Tebow, little fire up under 307 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 2: you in urban, little fire up under you, not only 308 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 2: by not playing you the four or five snap that 309 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 2: he said he would give you, but also when you 310 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 2: asked for a championship ring for being on the team 311 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 2: that you felt you were entitled to like, nah, were good. 312 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's what made that what they call it, 313 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 3: that's what created the monster, right. 314 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 1: And if I could paint it the way I wanted 315 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: to paint it. 316 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,040 Speaker 3: While I was at Auburn, there was an opportunity for 317 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,600 Speaker 3: Auburn to play Florida in the SEC channel. 318 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 1: That's what you. 319 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 3: Wanted, now, what you want to cam, no racial slur, 320 00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,280 Speaker 3: but boy, they would have seen a bat boon out 321 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 3: that motherfucker. I would have showed my whole boy, That's 322 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 3: what I wanted. I wanted to prove to them that 323 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,199 Speaker 3: they fucked that they made a mistake. I knew that 324 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 3: was my point to prove I was better than Tibo. 325 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 3: That was my opportunity to prove that y'all fucked up. 326 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 3: That was my opportunity to prove that this could have 327 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 3: been y'all. 328 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: But you played me. 329 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 3: And there was times where I would be the first 330 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 3: person to tell you while I was at the University 331 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 3: of Florida, I was not the maturest person that I 332 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 3: needed to be to lead that team, and I would 333 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 3: take responsibility for that. 334 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: But who I grew to be. Nobody was fucking with me. 335 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 1: But by the time you came back, that was the 336 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 1: mature Cam Newton. 337 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 3: I needed to I needed alienation in Juco. I was 338 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 3: in Brenham, Texas, and if I were to give you 339 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 3: the amount of money that you got from Cat Williams 340 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 3: to put up on the line to say where's Brenham, Texas, 341 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 3: you couldn't coin it out. And everybody who was in 342 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: Renom on that team, they had some roots or ties 343 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 3: to Texas. 344 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 1: So there was many weekends. 345 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,919 Speaker 3: There was many times where the closest family member was 346 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 3: thousands of miles away. 347 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: Only thing I could do was workout. I cried. 348 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 3: I mean, I was vulnerable. I was embarrassed. But that 349 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 3: shaped the creation of who Cam was. People don't remember this. 350 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,960 Speaker 3: When I was at the University of Florida, they called 351 00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 3: me Cameron Newton. Yeah, when I went to Auburn, it 352 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 3: was Cam Newton. So for me, that was the creation 353 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,719 Speaker 3: of Cam two completely different people. I knew how to 354 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 3: compartmentalize those different people, and I didn't let that situation 355 00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 3: use me. 356 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: I used it. And when I look at my impact. 357 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,719 Speaker 3: To football, I love to say people's favorite NFL player 358 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 3: just started the get good in the NFL.

There's not a lot of players that can 363 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 3: say that. And it took a measure of focus and 364 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:25,479 Speaker 3: discipline and also vulnerableness to understand, like Bro, like you, 365 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,240 Speaker 3: I here by yourself. So when I talk to my 366 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,680 Speaker 3: seven or seven kids, when I talk to kids around, 367 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 3: you know the world, and I tell them, like Bro, 368 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,359 Speaker 3: I know what it's like to not have shit and 369 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 3: you so close to what you want. 370 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: It ain't out of your reach. 371 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 3: You just got to tap in and use this game 372 00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:49,119 Speaker 3: of football and not get jaded by the distractions, the money, 373 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:55,520 Speaker 3: the nils, the the. 374 00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,120 Speaker 1: Woman, all these different things.

It was a whole 385 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 3: different recruitment process when I was in jew Ko. 386 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: Rather than coming out of high school ship out. 387 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 3: Of high school, I was looking for gear and a 388 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 3: good time right by way of you know, female the hostesses, 389 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 3: Yeah and Juko.

I'm gonna bring a whole different element of 395 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:13,000 Speaker 3: this offense that you gotta start shaping some shit around 396 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 3: Kansas State the same way Misssippi State. 397 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 1: Dann Mullen right, and he. 398 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 3: Knew Dan Mullin was the officive coordinator and the quarterback 399 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 3: coach while I was at Florida. Okay, so you have 400 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 3: some familiarity. There were a lot of familiarity. And his 401 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 3: plan was I remember coach Muller had called me, and 402 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 3: at that time, me being the type of player I was, 403 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 3: if a coach calling you, that means you ain't going 404 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 3: to study hall, you didn't go to class. 405 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: It was something. 406 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 3: But this conversation was him telling me that he was 407 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 3: going Misisispi State to Missippi State. It ended up being 408 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,239 Speaker 3: mischiss State. He didn't tell me the team, and I 409 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 3: was saying to myself, well, he asked he wanted me 410 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:58,800 Speaker 3: to consider transferring to Misisisppi State, but coach not Mamason. 411 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 1: Coach Meyer, Urban had to. 412 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 3: Sign off on that, and I knew he wasn't going 413 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,119 Speaker 3: to sign off for that, so I had to go 414 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 3: to junior college. Now, when you when you say the 415 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 3: things like going through the whole n. 416 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 1: Cuba pay for play scandal. 417 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 3: This is where I don't think I've ever had the 418 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 3: opportunity to share this. If you really go back and 419 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 3: you know the reports to what it said, it said 420 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 3: two sources, yes, said that Cam Newton and his father 421 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 3: took money to go. 422 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 1: To Auburn. 423 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:48,720 Speaker 3: Those two sources was Dan Mullen and his wife Megan Mullen. 424 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:52,119 Speaker 1: How do we get to that, I'll tell you. 425 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 3: The day I was going to commit to Auburn out 426 00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 3: of junior college, it was neck and neck Missippi State, Mississippi. 427 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: State of Auburn. 428 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 3: When I went to Auburn, as my mentor was solely 429 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 3: focused on success, I was really trying to play catch 430 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 3: up to the Joe Haydens, the Marquise Pouncy's, the Aaron 431 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 3: Nandez who were already in the league. And I said 432 00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,919 Speaker 3: to myself, we came in together in Florida, they already 433 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 3: in the league. I'm trying to find the fastest way 434 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 3: that I can get to the league. When I went 435 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 3: to Auburn, they mentioned that they would have twenty two 436 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 3: seniors coming back. 437 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 1: Mississippi State probably only had three to four. 438 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 3: These are all different things As a twenty year old 439 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 3: college player and a sixteen seventeen year old kid. You 440 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 3: don't think that that's a big thing, but it really is. 441 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 3: My whole determined factor was I wanted to go to 442 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:59,439 Speaker 3: a school that could get me to a BCS game. 443 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 3: It was either the Tosedos Bowl, Orange Bowl, Sugar Bowl, 444 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 3: whatever if I went there, and my tenure at that school, 445 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,600 Speaker 3: I was going top ten because I knew in order 446 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 3: for us to get there, I would have to play 447 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 3: my best former football. When I was about to commit 448 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,520 Speaker 3: to Auburn, one of the things that my father told 449 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 3: me that I had to do as a man. He said, 450 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: you got to call coach Mullen and you have to 451 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 3: tell him the decision that you're gonna make. 452 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: Be a man. Said, damn, Pop, Like, why. 453 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 3: Though, you know what I'm saying, you gonna find you 454 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,879 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, But that's how. 455 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 1: My father raised me. He said, So you're gonna have 456 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: to be a man. 457 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 3: And that's that's that's where I always challenge society. Now 458 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:55,880 Speaker 3: we need more men empowering men, not boys raising boys. 459 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 3: You did you know what I'm saying. But certain circumstances 460 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 3: play out like that. But to that point, I put 461 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 3: a lot of focus on my font. I said, pop, 462 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 3: you a man of God. If it's on your heart 463 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 3: to wherever we're gonna decide to go, that's where we're 464 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 3: gonna go. 465 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 1: Man. 466 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 3: At that time, we were exploring so many different things, 467 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 3: and he came back wrote it down on a sheet 468 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 3: of paper. 469 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 1: I unlooked. 470 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 3: I looked at it. It had Auburn on it. I said, 471 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 3: I ain't gonna even question it. That's where we're going. 472 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: Okay. 473 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:31,160 Speaker 3: That day that I was gonna make it public, I 474 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: had to call Coach Mullen. 475 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 1: I remember having a conversation. 476 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 3: It was extremely awkward because when I called him, he answered, 477 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 3: how's my quarterback doing? And I said, Coach, I just 478 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 3: wanted to be a man to call you and tell 479 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 3: you and Miss Megan that I'm going to Auburn. 480 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: Now. 481 00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 3: I didn't want you to hear it through the grape vines. 482 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 3: I don't want you to hear it on ESPN. I 483 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 3: wanted to be a man to call you. And he 484 00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 3: asked me this question, but how cam like you know? 485 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 3: I was going to do right by you. We need you, 486 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 3: And I gave him this quote. It was just too 487 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 3: good to be true now, too good to be true 488 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 3: for me was you got twenty two seniors. They battle tested. 489 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,000 Speaker 3: I ain't going into a locker room with freshmen. These 490 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 3: they ready to win right now. They just need me 491 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 3: to propel them to elite status. Missippi State needed meet 492 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 3: and son, and I don't think Mississippi State garners the 493 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 3: measure of recruits like Corol. It's Mississippi State here and 494 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,440 Speaker 3: still Misippi State at that particular point in time. 495 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 1: And I heard Miss Meghan in the background. I was like, 496 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: did he commit? 497 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,080 Speaker 3: Did he commit? 498 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: He was like no, And then that's when I talked 499 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 1: to her. 500 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 3: I was like, man, I just apologized, but this is 501 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 3: a business decision that I'm sad and. 502 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:55,360 Speaker 1: That it didn't work out. 503 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 3: Had that conversation when I was twenty and I thought 504 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 3: I was doing the right thing. So fast forward to 505 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 3: the success going on at Auburn. First game we played 506 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 3: Arkansas State. I think the next game or the first 507 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 3: prime time game we had was versus Mississippi State. It 508 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 3: was on a Thursday night. We ended up winning that 509 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 3: football game. And I'm big on energy. I'm big on 510 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:30,240 Speaker 3: just posture and certain things. At the end of the game, 511 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 3: I looked at him and I wanted I wanted to 512 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 3: shake his hand and say coach man, appreciate you, man, 513 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 3: thank you.

Whether my daughters or my sons 1229 01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:48,760 Speaker 3: remember me playing football or not, I have the ability 1230 01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:51,960 Speaker 3: to raise them to be honorable kings and queens the 1231 01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:53,960 Speaker 3: same way that my father and my mother did for 1232 01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:55,000 Speaker 3: me and my grandmother. 1233 01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,960 Speaker 2: Last thing, the car accident when you was in Carolina. 1234 01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,160 Speaker 2: Remember that?

And the intersection that it 1243 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 3: was at, I remember the car coming out, then it stopped. 1244 01:07:45,040 --> 01:07:49,800 Speaker 3: Then I stopped or slowed down. Then I sped up 1245 01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 3: and he sped up too. I remember. I thought I 1246 01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:56,479 Speaker 3: passed him, and I was trying to blow the horn, 1247 01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:59,880 Speaker 3: like what And as I'm blowing the horn, he clipped 1248 01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:03,440 Speaker 3: my back left will and. 1249 01:08:03,640 --> 01:08:04,479 Speaker 1: It flipped over. 1250 01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:09,200 Speaker 3: And as I'm flipping I'm saying to myself, oh my God, 1251 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:14,440 Speaker 3: not like this not like this. And I was on 1252 01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:18,560 Speaker 3: the phone with my mom. Not like this, No, no, 1253 01:08:19,120 --> 01:08:22,640 Speaker 3: not like this, not like this. And when I got out, 1254 01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:27,120 Speaker 3: I didn't realize how close off the edge of the 1255 01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:32,639 Speaker 3: bridge it was. Right, So when they say I had 1256 01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:40,120 Speaker 3: a praying grandmother, a praying mother, man, that could have 1257 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:42,640 Speaker 3: been that. You don't know the time, the hour of 1258 01:08:42,680 --> 01:08:48,760 Speaker 3: the day. So don't let smoking a cigar derail you 1259 01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:52,559 Speaker 3: from understanding that I'm a man of God, God fearing 1260 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:57,599 Speaker 3: I know where my favorite come from. I'm humbled by 1261 01:08:57,640 --> 01:09:01,960 Speaker 3: the fact that God has given me the opportunity to 1262 01:09:02,080 --> 01:09:07,599 Speaker 3: say that I owe my life to him. I don't 1263 01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:13,400 Speaker 3: fear nothing outside of God. And that day was a 1264 01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,559 Speaker 3: perfect example of I was on top of the world. 1265 01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,160 Speaker 1: My father would always say, son, be careful. 1266 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:21,439 Speaker 3: One day you could be on top of the world, 1267 01:09:21,720 --> 01:09:23,200 Speaker 3: and the next day the world can be on top 1268 01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:27,519 Speaker 3: of you. Do right by people, And no matter what 1269 01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:30,680 Speaker 3: you say about cam Newton, you can never find a 1270 01:09:30,720 --> 01:09:35,320 Speaker 3: person that I did wrong. And that's what resonates to 1271 01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:39,200 Speaker 3: me the most, because there's times in my life similar 1272 01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:41,200 Speaker 3: to that car accident. Well, I ain't supposed to be here, 1273 01:09:42,400 --> 01:09:45,479 Speaker 3: they thought, after Florida, They'll never hear from me again. 1274 01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,040 Speaker 3: It was so many transfers that left right and. 1275 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,040 Speaker 1: You never heard from them.

He's a conversation. This is 1282 01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:09,719 Speaker 3: a perfect father son story. 1283 01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:11,080 Speaker 1: Man. 1284 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:15,080 Speaker 3: I was afraid of my dad. The only thing that 1285 01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:18,519 Speaker 3: brought us closer was me in Juco. While I was 1286 01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:20,720 Speaker 3: in for a man, I didn't call my Damnit. 1287 01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:25,680 Speaker 1: I'm gonna cut your phone off. You better answer.

It was. 1293 01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:40,599 Speaker 3: That's why I'm able to resonate with my kids and say, son, 1294 01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:42,840 Speaker 3: it's all right, tell me like what's going on. It 1295 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:46,040 Speaker 3: may be tough, loving, but all medicine ain't sweet either. 1296 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:51,880 Speaker 3: So as I'm living these these situations, and I'm saying 1297 01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:55,200 Speaker 3: to myself and let me be the example of hope. 1298 01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:57,920 Speaker 3: So I can't stop going out to seven on seven. 1299 01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:03,080 Speaker 3: I can't stop speak in my mind because every time 1300 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,960 Speaker 3: I want to, there's a person that I'm giving hope 1301 01:11:06,960 --> 01:11:10,439 Speaker 3: to that I may not ever meet, but they are 1302 01:11:10,520 --> 01:11:13,040 Speaker 3: able to say, Man, Cam, I resonate with Cam.

He got the pencil, iPad, notepad, 1324 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:38,160 Speaker 3: taking notes while he's working out, taking notes, watching film, 1325 01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:43,160 Speaker 3: certain things, and he teaches the game. Coaches oftentimes forget 1326 01:12:43,240 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 3: that being a great coach is also being a great teacher. 1327 01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:49,679 Speaker 1: You have to understand talking to Cam. 1328 01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:53,200 Speaker 3: You gotta change the tone or dialect when you're talking 1329 01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:55,800 Speaker 3: to a Shannon Sharp, when you're talking to a Cho Sinko, 1330 01:12:56,040 --> 01:12:59,800 Speaker 3: Odell Beckham, a Patrick Mahomes of Tom Brady, the great ones. No, 1331 01:13:00,680 --> 01:13:03,640 Speaker 3: how to weave in and weave out and get the 1332 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:05,320 Speaker 3: message across. 1333 01:13:06,280 --> 01:13:11,680 Speaker 1: That's what Bill Belichick has done improven. He's so. 1334 01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:18,320 Speaker 3: Intentional that it ain't like he riding off in the sunset, 1335 01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:20,240 Speaker 3: because that's what he want to do. If Bill Belichick 1336 01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:25,360 Speaker 3: wanted a job, he got that name, Manny Sanders Belichick. 1337 01:13:26,320 --> 01:13:29,400 Speaker 3: That man, if he wanted to be higher somewhere, he 1338 01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:33,480 Speaker 3: would have been there. Me knowing what I know about him, 1339 01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:34,479 Speaker 3: he probably don't want it. 1340 01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:38,400 Speaker 1: What does he have to prove? And when you at 1341 01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,920 Speaker 1: peace like that, you can gracefully Bob. 1342 01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,479 Speaker 2: I think he wants that shoe little record all the time, 1343 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:47,040 Speaker 2: winning his coach in NFL history. 1344 01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:54,679 Speaker 3: He's so close, but some records, out of respect should 1345 01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:55,400 Speaker 3: never be broken. 1346 01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:58,040 Speaker 1: Think about Barry Sanders. 1347 01:13:59,400 --> 01:14:02,160 Speaker 3: When he was so close to Malti Payton said, Nah, 1348 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:04,519 Speaker 3: Emmitt Smith the same way, what's the heat? 1349 01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:05,000 Speaker 1: See? 1350 01:14:05,040 --> 01:14:07,880 Speaker 2: I think Barry was like what you said, Kickley, if 1351 01:14:07,880 --> 01:14:09,960 Speaker 2: he thought Detroit could give him an opportunity to win. 1352 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,719 Speaker 2: They had started trading pieces, getting rid of pieces around 1353 01:14:12,800 --> 01:14:15,960 Speaker 2: him that he could the Glovers and the low Browns 1354 01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:18,479 Speaker 2: and all them guys that started to leave. He's like, man, y'all, 1355 01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:19,439 Speaker 2: ain't got no room for me. 1356 01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:24,920 Speaker 3: But sometimes people you got to ask yourself too, what's 1357 01:14:24,960 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 3: your carrot? There is a comical analogy where the mule 1358 01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:34,880 Speaker 3: is chasing the carrot in high school. Your carrit is 1359 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:36,880 Speaker 3: I want to go D one. I want to go 1360 01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:37,400 Speaker 3: to college. 1361 01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:40,360 Speaker 1: That's your carre. You bite that boom when you get 1362 01:14:40,400 --> 01:14:44,240 Speaker 1: to college. That carried is NFL. I got to go 1363 01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:45,000 Speaker 1: to the league. 1364 01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:47,840 Speaker 3: When you bite that is now, Oh, I want to 1365 01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,639 Speaker 3: go and be a household name a Pro Bowl. 1366 01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:51,680 Speaker 1: I want to be an All Pro. 1367 01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:54,839 Speaker 3: That's your care when you got all these different things, 1368 01:14:54,840 --> 01:14:55,479 Speaker 3: a Super Bowl? 1369 01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:59,080 Speaker 1: Like, what else is your carrot? And you dictate that 1370 01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:00,240 Speaker 1: not somebody us. 1371 01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:04,400 Speaker 3: And I think even for me, I don't have nothing 1372 01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:06,200 Speaker 3: to prove I'm at peace. 1373 01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:07,720 Speaker 1: And that's if you're at peace with that. 1374 01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:11,479 Speaker 2: No, you got another cart. You're on this camera side now. 1375 01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:13,760 Speaker 2: Oh for sure you want to be great a at 1376 01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:17,040 Speaker 2: just like you were the football. Oh man, listen, it 1377 01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:19,600 Speaker 2: drives you. If you're probably hear the thing. This is 1378 01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,719 Speaker 2: what And I tell people I want to be better 1379 01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:25,200 Speaker 2: at this because this isn't my natural football with God 1380 01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,640 Speaker 2: gave me the ability to be able to run and 1381 01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:29,880 Speaker 2: to jump and to catch a football, so I didn't 1382 01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,000 Speaker 2: really have to work that much. I mean, I trained 1383 01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:34,040 Speaker 2: and it got good at it, but this is not 1384 01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:37,040 Speaker 2: something that that I was. 1385 01:15:37,160 --> 01:15:39,439 Speaker 1: Naturally good at. But I'm working. 1386 01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:43,240 Speaker 3: It's the challenge, right And I think for me to 1387 01:15:43,320 --> 01:15:48,639 Speaker 3: be independently owned, nobody's telling me what I should produce 1388 01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:55,599 Speaker 3: and for it to consistently catch the eye of people 1389 01:15:55,800 --> 01:16:00,439 Speaker 3: to make it go viral, that's my card. And it's 1390 01:16:00,479 --> 01:16:03,639 Speaker 3: doing it in an intent to impact. It's not doing 1391 01:16:03,720 --> 01:16:06,080 Speaker 3: it in an intent to shame. So when I do 1392 01:16:06,120 --> 01:16:10,000 Speaker 3: say game changer and the game manager, it was the 1393 01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:15,240 Speaker 3: topic of the NFL the whole year because think about this, 1394 01:16:16,200 --> 01:16:19,360 Speaker 3: whether the forty nine ers won or the forty nine 1395 01:16:19,439 --> 01:16:23,240 Speaker 3: ers didn't win. Cam Newton's topic or take was still 1396 01:16:23,240 --> 01:16:32,360 Speaker 3: gonna be right. Who's doing that? Shannon Stephen A skip. 1397 01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:33,960 Speaker 1: They got so. 1398 01:16:34,040 --> 01:16:37,920 Speaker 3: Many platforms, Disney. 1399 01:16:37,520 --> 01:16:41,519 Speaker 1: Fox, not me. I'm just taking my taking. 1400 01:16:42,080 --> 01:16:46,400 Speaker 3: It's just getting picked up because you can't ignore what 1401 01:16:46,439 --> 01:16:51,320 Speaker 3: I'm saying, because it's the truth to a degree where 1402 01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:53,880 Speaker 3: it still becomes opinionated and. 1403 01:16:53,840 --> 01:17:01,640 Speaker 1: Subjective to the consumer. Kam Newton, Lady and gentlemen, Ah appreciated. 1404 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:07,040 Speaker 4: Broke all my life, grinding all my life, sacrifice, hustle, 1405 01:17:07,080 --> 01:17:09,080 Speaker 4: pay the price, wanta slice? 1406 01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:11,679 Speaker 1: Got to brow the dice, the squad all my life. 1407 01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,080 Speaker 3: I've been grinding all my life.
