1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:04,520 Speaker 1: What expectations do you put on yourself personally in being 2 00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: a first round pick. I want to be good. I 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,319 Speaker 1: want to be great now, if not later. So you know, 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,680 Speaker 1: it can be hard, but that's what comes with being 5 00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,760 Speaker 1: the first round pick. They're using you at the same 6 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: position that they used Michael Bennett. First off, Please tell 7 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: me you're not gonna be using those tiny shoulder pads 8 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: that Michael Bennett used. No, you're not, okay, guy, No, 9 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 1: just check. What do you think about that comparison in general? 10 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,600 Speaker 1: I mean, it's an honor. I've watched Michael Bennett for years. 11 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: You know, he's a heck of a player, a really 12 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 1: great player. You know, he's still in the league doing 13 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: things today. You know what he did with the Eagles, 14 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,560 Speaker 1: what he did here. You know, I remember that defense 15 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: they had to win the Super Bowl. I didn't think 16 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: those guys could be beat. And you know, just being 17 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:39,239 Speaker 1: able to play here as an honor. You know, it's 18 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 1: a high standard. I know what they go for and 19 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: what they think of guys here, So I'm glad to 20 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: be a part of that.
