1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: This is the Colts Daily Update. A look at the

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: latest with the Indianapolis Colts. Now here's the voice of

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: the Colts, Matt Taylor. All right, let's go on a Tuesday.

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 1: This is the Colts Daily Update. Matt Taylor. Here, Grand

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: Park in Westfield, the side of Colts Training Camp, brought

6
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,759
Speaker 1: to you by Course in Fire and Security. And after

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:23,520
Speaker 1: an off day on Monday, the Cults were back on

8
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: the practice field today. They'll practice tomorrow and Thursday as well,

9
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: and those will be joint practices with the Detroit Lions.

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: Those practices begin at noon and they are free, open

11
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: to the public, and we'd love to see Grand Parkhead

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: to colts dot com slash camp for all the details

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: and to download your free tickets. And this will be

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,559
Speaker 1: the ninth time the Colts have held joint practices with

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: another team. They hooked up with the Panthers last year,

16
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: and the Colts have done joint practices every year but

17
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: one in the Chris Ballard era. That of course, came

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty during the pandemic. So the plan this

19
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 1: week for the Colts is to get a lot of

20
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: good reps with the Lions first team offense against the

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 1: Lions first team defense work on some situational stuff and

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: then vice versa Colts defense against the Lions first team offense.

23
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: And the Colts will likely rest their starters in Saturday's

24
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: preseason game against Detroit since they're going to get in

25
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: some really good work in practice these next couple of days.

26
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: The starters will play again to some degree in the

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: third preseason game against the Buccaneers a week coming up

28
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: from Saturday. Colts made some roster moves on Monday and Tuesday. First, yesterday,

29
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: they removed wide receiver Mike Strown from the pup list

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: and he made his training camp debut today at Graham Park.

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: So this gives Strawn six practices, including today's work, and

32
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: two preseason games to show what he can do to

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: possibly claim a roster spot at wide receiver. He had

34
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: been dealing with the knee injury going into camp. He

35
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: appeared in six games last year as a rookie coming

36
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: out of division to Charleston, where his twenty twenty season

37
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: was canceled due to the pandemic. Drafting the seventh round

38
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: in twenty one, played in eighteen and thirty four snaps

39
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: in the first two games of the season. And then

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: played just ten total snaps the rest of the season.

41
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: He was inactive for eleven games last year, did not

42
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: see any action after Week nine of the season, but

43
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: still has a ton of raw potential with great athleticism.

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: He's six foot five two twenty five so a really

45
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: good frame and Strown talked with reporters today after practice

46
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: and discuss why he doesn't feel like he's behind the

47
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: eight ball at this point in camp. You know, I

48
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: have been thinking that, but you know, I was just

49
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: you know, playing my role doing that. I camp for

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 1: the team. You know, it wasn't my time yet, and

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 1: I didn't want to come back too early. You know,

52
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 1: for me to be out here, I want to be

53
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 1: out here at one hundred percent. So you know, that

54
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: was just my goal to come back and be one

55
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: hundred percent. That's Mike Stron. So with him coming back,

56
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: that leaves Shaquille Leonard as the only CULT player still

57
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: on PUP and thus the only player to not practice

58
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: yet with a team to this point in training camp.

59
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: And other injury news from Saturday's game in Buffalo, cornerback

60
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: Brandon Facon is dealing with a quad wide receiver key

61
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 1: Key qtal with a grom and cornerback Isaiah Rogers has

62
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: a concussion, and each of those players left the game

63
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: early on Saturday. The Colts also made a few other

64
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: roster moves today to get down to eighty five players

65
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: on the roster that was a league mandate by four

66
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: o'clock today, the Colts released wide receiver Isaiah Ford, wave

67
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: tackle Brandon Kemp, cornerback Alex Myers, and wide receiver Michael

68
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 1: Young Junior. The Colts will have to get down to

69
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: eighty players next Tuesday, and then we'll select their final

70
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster by August thirtieth. All right, time

71
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: for a quick time out. When we come back, we're

72
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: gonna visit with Colts rookie tight end Jill Lonnie Woods.

73
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: He found the end zone over the weekend in Buffalo

74
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: in his first preseason game. What did that do for

75
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: his confidence? How is his camp going, and what does

76
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: he need to get to have joint practices this week

77
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: with the Lions. That's all coming up next here on

78
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: the Colts Daily Update. Stay with us on ninety three

79
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: five and one oh seven five the Fan. We now

80
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: return to the Colts Daily Update with Matt Taylor, the

81
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Boy some of the Colts welcome back on the Colts

82
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: Daily Update. Another reminder, the Colts are back on the

Speaker 1: free tickets download them now at colts dot com slash Camp.

86
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: The next two days really big for the starters because

87
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: they're going to get in a ton of good run

88
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: against the Lions front line players. It's also big for

89
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: the rookies, the young guys sharpening their skills against another

90
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: team and trying to build off what they did well

91
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: in that first preseason game in Buffalo on Saturday. That

92
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: certainly applies to Jelani Woods, the rookie tight end out

93
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: of Virginia. He had two catches for twenty two yards,

94
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: including an eleven yard touchdown catch from Sam Ellinger in

95
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: the third quarter, and as promised, we're gonna hear from

96
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 1: him now. As Jeffrey Gorman and I chatted with the

97
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: big tight end earlier this week, coming off a touchdown

98
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: against the Buffalo Bills preseason game one, first game as

99
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: a professional, the big man is here. Gilanni Woods tight end,

100
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: how are you? How is your first experience out there

101
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: getting ready for road game in the NFL, doing it

102
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: with the NFL quality players around you, and then hold home,

103
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: you do what you do in the end zone and

104
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: catch a TD. It feel awesome, just, you know, being

105
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: my first experience felt really good. Just getting the opportunity

106
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 1: to showcase what I can do and then just trying

107
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: to get better day by day. Takes a second. You

108
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: guys haven't been here long and practicing, and all of

109
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: a sudden you go in a first preseason game, Well,

110
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: how are you feeling right now as far as belonging

111
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: in this NFL because it's a different game from what

112
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 1: you're used to. Oh, it's definitely is. And I feel good,

113
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: feel like I'm getting better every day, just learning under

114
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: the veteran, veteran leadership we got in the locker room

115
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: and all offense I hold and even in my position

116
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: group just listening to the mode and even listening to

117
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: Colin and they both know what they're doing, and just

118
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: trying to take that, you know, the different tools that

119
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: they have and put it together and kind of create

120
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: my own, you know, masterpiece of my own. Jelina, take

121
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: me through that play. What did you see on the touchdown.

122
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: Kind of a scramble there for Sam Ellinger. Take me

123
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: through how you developed into that play and got to

124
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: the right spot. I say, really just a scrambled drill,

125
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: just trying to get open. I had a little solo

126
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: route and then on my way over there running I

127
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,280
Speaker 1: kind of seen the little gap in the hold. Then

128
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: when I look back at Sam, I've seen that he

129
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: was scrambling. So I was like, you know, it's perfect

130
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: opportunity to set myself up and just you know, create

131
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 1: a play and make a play for him, and then

132
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 1: it's just football. Throw it up high for the big

133
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: guy to go get it right at that point, pretty much,

134
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: how much confidence does that one play give you? I

135
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: know it's a preseason game, but it's your first taste

136
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: of the NFL. How much confidence that hauling in that

137
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,919
Speaker 1: touchdown pass give you? Oh, it definitely comes to nerves

138
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: a little bit. Now that you know you can you know,

139
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: you can look forward to more and more and more,

140
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 1: especially when you get to the regular season and everything

141
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: like that. So I feel really good about it. And

142
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: then just you know, having a ball in your hand

143
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: live against somebody else also just you know, creates a

144
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: different you know, mindset for yourself to just get better.

145
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: That's cold siding Gilani Woods with us. And again, I

146
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: know it was a preseason game, but again, your first

147
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 1: time ever in an NFL stadium, on the field, in

148
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 1: front of fans, TV broadcast, radio broadcasts. What was it

149
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: like for you? It was awesome. Like I was too

150
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 1: stunned to even do no celebration or anything like that,

151
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: but I did ask them to keep the ball up.

152
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take that home and frame it so I'm

153
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: anna write preseason on it. Argamy Sha, I know, but

154
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: that's just a step of stone of trying to get

155
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: better and everything like that. Well that's Gilanni Woods. As

156
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: we said, pro game number one, Pro touchdown number one

157
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: as well. Blocking. You're an athletic tight end. You can

158
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: move for a big man, soft hands, we've seen it,

159
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: but if you're gonna stick around in this league, blocking

160
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: is a must. How much has that been ingrained in

161
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 1: your head from your coaches since you got drafted to

162
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: this The cold steam, Oh, it really just that was

163
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: like one of my main priorities coming in and trying

164
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: to work on my technique. Get get ahead and start

165
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: on that early so I can get on the field

166
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: more and everything like that, and work on my blocking

167
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: and just you know, being a more balanced tight end

168
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 1: and things like that. Coming from Virginia, I asked a

169
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: lot of the rookies sets stuff. You're playing out with

170
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: elite quarterbacks and in Matt Ryan and Nick Foles and

171
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: Sam Ellinger, how's that been able to jump your game

172
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: up and be more proactive as well as and productive

173
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: with these guys. Because nothing against your very Virginia quarterback,

174
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: but now we're talking about the elite. Yeah, it's definitely

175
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: is a different ball game now. But just getting with them,

176
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: no no matter how much time it is, and just

177
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: trying to learn from him is always the key thing,

178
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: the most productive thing to do. And like for me,

179
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: that's what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to get

180
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: h Nick Foles, Matt used to watch these guys on

181
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: TV now, Yeah, which is crazy, but yeah, but in

182
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: that perspective, I'm just trying to, you know, learn as

183
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: much as I can, especially you know, being young and

184
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: being with a veteran quarterback already, especially like Matt, it's

185
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: always good to know he got so much experience over

186
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 1: the years. Just know what he's been through and what

187
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 1: he wants and just trying to adapt to that, right, Gilanni,

188
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: for you so far in this camp, what's been the

189
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: most difficult thing in terms of that transition from college

190
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,959
Speaker 1: to the NFL, Whether that's something physical or mental. I

191
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: would just say being consistent. That's like one of the

192
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: biggest things right now. Just making sure I keep you know,

193
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: stacking days together, you know, and just trying to put

194
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: my whole, my game all into a whole. Uh, just

195
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, learning in the classroom, getting more I want

196
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: to say, more focused, but getting more deep into the playbook,

197
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: knowing exactly the small details within each thing. And uh,

198
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: you know, just like I said, she's getting better and

199
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm doing that. Now. What is an

200
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: NFL playbook compared to the Virginia playbook? Is it? Is

201
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 1: it similar or is it way more nuance more way

202
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 1: more complicated up here? Uh? Definitely, it's just you know,

203
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: it's way longer, you know, the job is way more detail.

204
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: Like it's very it's very more complex, but it's not

205
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: too hard to learn. You're your best friend so far

206
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: as Andrew Ogletree, or at least that's what he said.

207
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 1: He said, his best friend is you you guys are

208
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: rooming together here in the hotel during camp. What have

209
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 1: you seen from him and how is your relationship with

210
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: him helping you? Uh, Andrews just a dog, I'm gonna say,

211
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: Julian gonna say Andrew Drew is He's a dog. So

212
00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: just learning from each other really, because you know, we

213
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: came from two different backgrounds, came from two different ways.

214
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: So just learning what he's been through, learning like trying

215
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: to pick his brain while he's doing the same thing

216
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: with me. It's just been awesome. Then we've just been

217
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: together twenty four to seven, so just you know, messing around,

218
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 1: piggy piggyback off of each other. It's just been really awesome.

219
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: All right, joint practices this week with the Detroit Lions.

220
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 1: What are you hoping to get out of that? Just

221
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: being able to compete at a high level. Just keep

222
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: bringing what I have to the table, trying to improve

223
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: every day, no matter who it is in front of me,

224
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: Just trying to get better and just trying to, you know,

225
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 1: be that dog in a backyard pretty much. Do you

226
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: miss playing quarterback? Uh? Not really. Tight End is really

227
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: fun because you'd be physical, you know, smart aspect coming

228
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: to it like you know, you just got to know

229
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: the game, just like the quarterback and you get the

230
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 1: ball in your hands. For those that don't know your story,

231
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: I mean you were You were a quarterback at Oklahoma State,

232
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: got moved for obvious reasons because of your size, but

233
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: you torch the defense playing scout team. They said, all,

234
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: we gotta move this guy. He's too big of a playmaker.

235
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 1: What was your reception to that? Were you willing to

236
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: do that? Oh? Yeah, at the time, yeah, I was, uh. Probably,

237
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 1: I say our conversation with my office coordinate at the

238
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: time it probably lasted about eight minutes because once he

239
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,959
Speaker 1: proposed it tell me, I was just like, all right, yeah,

240
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,040

241
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: my parents right after and told him that I switched

242
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: to tight end and they was pretty happy too. Yeah,

243
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,920
