00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. The twenty twenty

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: five NFL Draft is complete for the Ravens. They made

00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,600
Speaker 1: eleven picks over the course of three days. Let's run

4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: through the list. The first round, they took safety Malachi Starks.

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: They follow that up with outside linebacker Mike Green in

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: the second round and offensive tackle Emery Jones in the third.

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: On Day three, the Ravens took linebacker Teddy Buchanan from

8
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: cal then offensive tackle Carson Vincent from Alabama A and M.

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: In the sixth round, they took cornerback balal Kone from

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 1: Western Michigan. They then took kicker Tyler Loop from Arizona,

11
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: wide receiver Lejohntay Wester from Colorado, defensive lineman and Unice

12
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: Peebles from Virginia Tech, cornerback Robert Longerbeam from Rutgers, and

13
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: finally they took offensive lineman most likely a guard, Garrett

14
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: Dellinger out of LSU. After the draft, we got a

15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: chance to hear from general manager Eric Tacosta and head

16
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: coach John Harbaugh.

17
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: It was a long day, a couple of days, but

18
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: today was a long day. Happy the way that it transpired,

19
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 2: I think we added some really interesting, good developmental players,

20
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: some guys that can come in and help us right away,

21
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 2: and some guys that like looking out. You know, I

22
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: think we'll be looking back and saying, hey, these guys

23
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 2: really helped our team. So just quickly, some quick things

24
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: on these guys. Buchanan was a guy that I did

25
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: late in the process. The coaches and scouts like them.

26
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 2: I saw a guy that played very hard, very gifted mover, explosive,

27
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 2: excellent coverage linebacker. Should translate well to special teams. I

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: think he's a really polished, tough, tenacious guy. Carson Vincent

29
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: coach warhop one of his favorite prospects. A small school guy,

30
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: a tremendous size and strength. I can tell you he

31
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: came into my office last week. He visited last week

32
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 2: and almost broke my hand and then he tried to

33
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: shake my hand and just leave my office, and I

34
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: just looked at him said I'm good. But he's just

35
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 2: a big, strong, physical athletic player. I think coach Warhawp's

36
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: excited to work with him. B K from Western Michigan,

37
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: as he likes to be known, tall, long corner. I

38
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 2: think he runs really well, good ball skills. I think

39
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: he can, you know, get stronger, but I think he's

40
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: got really good coverage ability. Think he's a guy that

41
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: can play from off and play from press, good developmental

42
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 2: corner with the size that we look for and the

43
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: speed that we look for.

44
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 3: Tyler Loop, the kicker.

45
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: We told you guys that we would consider drafting a

46
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: kicker if the right one was there, and this was

47
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: a guy that you know, for the last I don't know,

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 2: three weeks, Randy Brown, our kicking coach, has been out

49
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: canvassing the country looking at kickers and evaluating guys, and

50
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, it was kind of nice having

51
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: him out of the office for an extended period of time.

52
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,359
Speaker 2: Oh no, just a joke, But I think Randy does

53
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: a phenomenal job evaluating these kickers. And he came back

54
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: and he said, really, hey, Eric, there's one guy that

55
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 2: I really covert and it's Loop. And so, you know,

56
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: I think for us, we've kind of felt like we

57
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: had to draft him and it was just a matter

58
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: of getting the right spot and kind of working the

59
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: picks and kind of come up with the right combination.

60
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: And we think he's got a really strong leg and

61
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: He's got a lot of potential. I think Wester is

62
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 2: a guy that you know, what stands out about him

63
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: is really his returnability. If you watch him, I think

64
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: he's a twitchy, explosive punt returner. I think, you know,

65
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: last year, it became evident that we could probably get

66
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: better there at that position. I feel like last year's

67
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: probably I didn't do a good enough job making sure

68
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: that we had a good punt return around the team.

69
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: We had some guys, but we couldn't get the right mix,

70
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: the right guy to really do it. And we think

71
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Wester has a chance to really come in here and

72
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: be an impact punk returner for us. So excited about him.

73
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: Ania's peoples is coach Arbot one of his guys. He

74
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: loved his tape. We loved his explosion and he's a

75
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: little undersized, but he's a twitchy, disruptive player who can

76
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 2: rush the passer, who plays hard. I think he's got

77
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 2: a really, really good skill set for us as a

78
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: third down sub rusher who runs to the football and

79
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: can make some plays that way longer beam I think

80
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 2: another corner as I was looking at it, you know,

81
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks for me, the two guys

82
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: that were most intriguing corner wise well with BK and

83
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: Longer Beam. And you know, I think we were kind

84
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: of going back and forth because they were so close

85
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 2: and both so talented in different ways. And I think

86
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: our goal was to get one of those two guys.

87
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 2: And as we got to the end of the draft,

88
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 2: Longer Beam was still there. It was like a no

89
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: brainer for us to take him. He's just a really

90
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: really quick footed, good corner who can play off coverage.

91
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: He supports the run, he plays bigger than his size,

92
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 2: and he's got tremendous speed. You know, one thing we

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: know here in Baltimore is you can never have enough corners.

94
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 2: We think now we have a really really good mix

95
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: of veteran corners and also younger developmental guys too who

96
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 2: can help us get better. And then the final guy

97
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: is Garrett Dellinger, another offensive lineman from LSU. We watched

98
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: him this year at the Senior Bowl. He's in get

99
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 2: the talented athlete, a big, wide body guy, a true guard.

100
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: He's physical, he's tough. I think he's a smart player. Incidentally,

101
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 2: born in the state of Maryland, so that was kind

102
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 2: of cool. A guy that we're excited about. We think

103
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: he has traits and we like the way he plays questions.

104
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 4: Okay, you know, area, it seemed like it was a

105
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 4: very heavy defensive draft.

106
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,120
Speaker 5: How you got especially early on. How much do you

107
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 5: think you impacted the defense with this rap?

108
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: Well, I think, you know, we went into it, you know,

109
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 2: thinking maybe that we would allocate some resources to that

110
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: side of the football. You know, I think it's very cyclical.

111
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: Some years we spend most of our picks on offense,

112
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: some years more so on defense. Some years were balanced.

113
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 2: You know, I think early on this year we did

114
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 2: spend some some picks on defense. I think we got

115
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 2: some great football players at important position, you know, uh,

116
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: guys that can make plays on the football, Guys who

117
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 2: can get to the quarterback. You know, I think that's

118
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 2: that's great. And probably the one thing we couldn't do

119
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: is get that big, wide body type guy. And I think,

120
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: you know, that's something that will assess and the address

121
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 2: after the draft, and you know, we're already starting to

122
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: talk about that, so we're aware of that. But I

123
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,719
Speaker 2: think the guys we took can really impact the defense

124
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: for short and we're excited about him.

125
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 5: Like the back of him nos Te to make up from.

126
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: Michael Pearce's a big, you know, first and second down

127
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: run stuffing type of guy. Probably have a place for

128
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: a guy like that. We had a couple of guys

129
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: late that got picked in the late in the draft

130
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 2: that we were targeting potentially and and they got picked.

131
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: But I think we do have some options. Yeah, you know,

132
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 2: with street free agents and different things that we will

133
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to address that in some way.

134
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 6: The selection of a kicker, I mean, is the expectation

135
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 6: that you would, i mean compete with Justin Is the

136
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 6: expedition that he would come in and be the kicker?

137
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 3: Is it too early to say with what you're thinking

138
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 3: on that.

139
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he's a really talented player, and I

140
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 2: think that you know, right now, they're both on the

141
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: on the roster, and you know, it was a situation

142
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: for us where we're just trying to find the best

143
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: football players. So we're excited to see what he can do.

144
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 2: I've actually never met you know, uh Tyler. I'm looking

145
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 2: forward to that he'll be here next week, get a

146
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: chance to see his leg and that will help us

147
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 2: address you know, what our decision making is going to

148
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 2: be moving forward.

149
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 7: Do you guys get carried outic updates from the d's

150
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 7: investigation into Tucker?

151
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 5: And have you gotten any ballpark idea when?

152
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 7: Why do you concluded, you know, June training him?

153
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, so I'm not a part of that loop,

154
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 2: so to speak. Uh, you know, I do get some

155
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 2: updates from Sashi periodically. I haven't gotten anything recently, and

156
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: we're not really under any you know, idea when that

157
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 2: timeline is going to be. We're just kind of waiting.

158
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 5: Hearing a fire you do attracting the kicker? How much

159
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 5: that what does that do to impact you Justin's roster

160
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 5: spot at all?

161
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 8: Now?

162
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: I haven't really thought about that at this point. I

163
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 2: just thought he was a really talented player, and uh

164
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: it made sense for us to do that for a

165
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: lot of different reasons, you know. I mean we've we've

166
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: told you guys multiple times this spring that we would

167
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 2: look at kickers, and so for us, it's like any

168
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 2: other position this year. We evaluated all these guys, we

169
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: felt like he was draftable, we felt like he was

170
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: the best kicker, and uh it made sense for us

171
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 2: to take.

172
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 5: Him any trade.

173
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 9: The decision for you guys to make your move when

174
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 9: you did or was it all planned when.

175
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: You had Uh, you know, that's a good question, Jerry.

176
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: I think it certainly. You know, it's it's like this

177
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 2: with every position, right, So you have a player that

178
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 2: maybe you like, and you know you're certainly aware of

179
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: runs and we see that all the time, and you know,

180
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 2: it's something that we're very attuned to, and that's really

181
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: a thing. It's like it's like momentum in sports, right,

182
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: It's it's there was a run, and so you know, uh,

183
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,880
Speaker 2: we had sort of targeted if we were going to

184
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: take this guy, it was going to be somewhere probably

185
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: in the third day of the draft and probably in

186
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: one of the latter rounds. But when you see sort

187
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: of the toothpaste open up, you know, you have to

188
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: be aware that, hey, this could start a run. And

189
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: you know we've seen it with other positions. We saw

190
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 2: it last year with offensive lineman in the second round.

191
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: You know, we saw it a few years ago when

192
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: we drafted Jordan Stout with punters. So it does happen.

193
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 5: Aware of that.

194
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say it necessarily like, uh, increase the urgency

195
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: for us necessarily, but it was definitely like Okay, this

196
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 2: is the time and we probably have to go ahead

197
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 2: and do it.

198
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 4: You close relationship with just and it's see someone you

199
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 4: talk to give my heads out that you're playing a

200
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 4: drafting kicker.

201
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 5: You think he's been around a long time. When he

202
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 5: understands that's right.

203
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 10: Both, you know, I don't think we would have to,

204
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 10: but we we had talked to him. He was he

205
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 10: was in this week kicking and working out. So we

206
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 10: had conversations and he already understood. He knew the situation

207
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 10: and you guys knew he had seen all those kind

208
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 10: of quotes too, so he knew that was possibility.

209
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 5: Kind of stood out, you know, and you've you've put

210
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 5: Hi around a few kickers.

211
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 11: What stood out to you when and looking at what

212
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 11: you saw from from Tyler?

213
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 10: Yeah, well yeah, I watch the tape with Randy took

214
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 10: me through it. Randy saw him in person. Also, we

215
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 10: looked through all the guys and uh, he's good. I mean,

216
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 10: he's talented guy. He's he's strong, and he's very consistent

217
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 10: with his leg swing. I think he's one of these guys.

218
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 10: He's a he's a kicking nerd. Do you like to

219
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 10: see that? I mean he's really into every detail and

220
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 10: technique and he studied, Uh he studied justin a lot,

221
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 10: you know, and a lot of other guys too, and

222
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 10: he studied our operations, so he I know, he's excited too.

223
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 5: He signed Cooper Russia.

224
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 3: You have a veteran backup.

225
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 4: Was there any consideration of drafting a developmental quarterback during

226
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 4: this draft?

227
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 5: We did look at that.

228
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 12: We had a few guys that we liked.

229
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 2: We were probably in a situation on a third day

230
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 2: when we might have done that, and uh, you know,

231
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: I can I can tell you one guy got paid

232
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 2: that we really did like. We talked about it. I mean,

233
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: we still think Devan has a chance to develop, and

234
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 2: I think he improved over the course of the year.

235
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: But again, there were some guys we liked, one in

236
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: particular that we might have taken, but he got picked.

237
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 3: Or can you.

238
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 4: Explain the rationale? Be kind that one trade with the Titans?

239
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 4: What was see kind of odd to move back five

240
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 4: in one round and then move out five in the past.

241
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

242
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 2: It's kind of an analytics thing for us. I know,

243
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 2: I agree it kind of looked weird, but it also

244
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 2: had to do with our draft board and where we

245
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 2: thought we had to take guys and that just a

246
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 2: combination of picks, you know, potentially tied to the kicker,

247
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 2: just for us to gain some additional flexibility in the

248
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: sixth round and maneuver a little bit that way. It

249
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 2: really wasn't anybody that we really coveted that specific point

250
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 2: when we picked, so we just liked the movement in

251
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: the sixth round for us to kind of get some

252
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: things accomplished, and also we felt like it might be

253
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: an opportunity for us to actually use potentially use some

254
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: of those six round picks potentially to acquire some picks

255
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 2: next year, which we we sort of did by by

256
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 2: trading a sixth round pick and then as part of

257
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 2: another deal but to get a fifth round pick. So

258
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 2: it was really an analytics thing, a strategy that we

259
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: used based on the board, the type of players that

260
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,599
Speaker 2: we thought were there, and then also the percentages that

261
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 2: we not to get to geeky.

262
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 5: But we we.

263
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: Have this list that Derek gam does which gives us

264
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,319
Speaker 2: percentages of when guys are going to be there in

265
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 2: each round at each point at each pick. So for us,

266
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 2: based on that and the players that we wanted, we

267
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 2: thought it made some sense.

268
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 9: Since we're not been talking for a while, do you

269
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 9: have any uptake on your offer?

270
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 2: I do not, thank you.

271
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: We also heard from some of the prospects today, including

272
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 1: linebacker Teddy Buchanan out of Cal, the Ravens fourth round pick.

273
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: They were ables took him at pick number one twenty nine.

274
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say about joining the Ravens.

275
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 13: Congratulations Teddy, thank you your your final season that Cal

276
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 13: really seemed like you really came on, had a very

277
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 13: strong season. What really do you feel like led to

278
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 13: that where it all kind of came together that last season?

279
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 14: Man, I feel like, you know, I worked extremely hard

280
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 14: four years at Davis, and I feel like all that

281
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 14: work just kind of, you know, came to a came

282
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 14: to a point, and you know, I was just able

283
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 14: to show what I was able to do on the

284
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 14: national stage. You know, I had great coaches, great teammates

285
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 14: around me, and yeah, just getting a chance to shut

286
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 14: that and really just put it all out there and

287
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 14: I think put together a really good season.

288
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 15: We'll go to Gianahan, I said, Rats, I was wondering

289
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 15: how much you have talked with Ravens defensive coordinator and

290
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 15: Zach or what it means don't have a DC has

291
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 15: inside linebacker experience.

292
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 14: Yeah, honestly, haven't. Haven't talked to the Ravens as much

293
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 14: as other teams, but you.

294
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 5: Know, I'm just super grateful to to get the.

295
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 14: Opportunity, and you know, I'm just gonna give everything I

296
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 14: got to this organization and I'm just blessed to be here.

297
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: We'll go to Garret Downey.

298
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: Did you say you haven't talked to them that much,

299
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: so it sounds like you were maybe surprised when they

300
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: were the team that called. What was your reaction when

301
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: you found out it was the Ravens, Oh.

302
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 5: Man, I was exciting.

303
00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 14: You know, Ravens are a team that, you know, just

304
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 14: a great organization and a team that I followed my

305
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 14: whole life as a football fan.

306
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,479
Speaker 5: You know, I think about raven.

307
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 14: Linebackers, you know, obviously, you know ray Lewis just kind

308
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 14: of epitomizes what a middle linebacker was for me growing up.

309
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 5: So so you know, I wasn't surprised.

310
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 14: I kind of had a gut feeling that it was

311
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 14: going to be a team that I didn't talk to.

312
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 14: So I'm just grateful for the opportunity and just excited

313
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 14: to give everything I got.

314
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: Brian Whacker.

315
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 16: Hey, Teddy, congrats mentioned you know, following the Ravens a

316
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 16: little bit, just how familiar argue with their defense and

317
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 16: their schemes and some of their players, and what do

318
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 16: you think you add in that respect?

319
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 3: Yeah?

320
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 14: I mean for me, really, I'm just gonna add whatever

321
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 14: whatever coach wants needs me to add. First of all,

322
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 14: it's just gonna be effort and and toughness and just consistency.

323
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 14: And you know, I'm not really really looking to do

324
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 14: anything outside of my realm, just doing whatever whatever coach

325
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 14: needs for me, and just whatever the team needs.

326
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: Ran Mink.

327
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, Teddy, I saw that you have a little bit

328
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 13: of a quarterback background, uh or linebacker. How do you

329
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,160
Speaker 13: feel like that helped you as a linebacker?

330
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 14: Yeah, I helped in a bunch of ways, just you know,

331
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 14: understanding first of all, the mentality of a quarterback.

332
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 5: You know what things affect them.

333
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 14: You know, the processing speed of playing quarterback definitely translates

334
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 14: right over to defense. And then you know, just understanding

335
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 14: offense and how they're trying to attack RPOs and different

336
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 14: things like that, especially in college.

337
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 5: So definitely was definitely was helpful.

338
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 3: Go back to Brian Whacker.

00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:31,400

340
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 16: little bit of an unusual spelling. I guess at the

341
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 16: at the end, is there anything to that or just

342
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 16: just the way you guys spelled it.

343
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 5: Or that's just that's a question for my parents.

344

360
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,600

Speaker 3: And then we will close it out with Jonas Schaeffer.

363
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 9: Hey, Teddy, congrats. I saw from your UC Davis profile

364
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 9: that you were a design major there. I guess could

365
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:45,479
Speaker 9: you kind of talk about just your interest there and

366
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 9: what did you did you continue those studies when you

367
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 9: got to Cality or did you take up the track.

368
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 14: Yeah, so I have a bit of an art background,

369
00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 14: so you know, I went into design at Davis and

370
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 14: you know, I learned learned a lot of cool things

371
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 14: about design there and then I follow that up with

372
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 14: I got my certificate and business administration at cal SO.

373
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 14: A bit of a different route, but yeah, design definitely

374
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 14: stemmed from our background.

375
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 3: All right.

376
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,479

Speaker 13: Carson, can you talk about Yeah, can you talk about

390
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 13: your your emotions being selected by the Ravens and how

391
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 13: much pre draft contact you have with them.

392
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 19: Did you think you could end up in Baltimore?

393
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 20: You know, I had my thirty visit with them and

394
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 20: it was an amazing time. And you know, you always

395
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 20: think in the back of your head, but especially coming

396
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 20: from a small school, like it's almost surreal, like you

397
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 20: never like you think it's gonna happen, but you never

398
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 20: really know. So, like I seen the bottomorren number pop up,

399
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 20: and everything kind of slowed.

400
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 19: Down a little bit. It kind of slowed down. I said,

401
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 19: let me answer this call. But it's just it's been

402
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 19: a blessing.

403
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 20: I don't know if it's even still hit me yet,

404
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 20: but I can't put in the words how much I'm

405
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 20: blessed to be putting into this position.

406
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 7: Luke Jones, congratulations Carson. Going through the pre draft process,

407
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,479
Speaker 7: you said it coming from a small school, what kind

408
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,360
Speaker 7: of feedback did you get the teams liked and where

409
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 7: do you feel you need to improve the most for

410
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 7: your game to translate to the next level.

411
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 19: Yes, sir.

412
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 20: So, like the biggest thing with me is like I

413
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 20: bring tenacity and I'm an athlete. Those two things I

414
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 20: really hang my hat on. And a lot of things

415
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 20: that the Ravens organization can help me with other things

416
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,440
Speaker 20: that I need to work on, as like my technique.

417
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 20: Coach Warharp, he's a great coach. So it's a lot

418
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 20: of things like that where I feel like I'm in

419
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 20: a perp position to be the best player that I can.

420
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 3: We'll go to Brian whacker th Parson.

421
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 16: Congratulations, man, things just you know how familiar argue with

422
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,239
Speaker 16: the Ravens just as an organization in terms of what

423
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 16: they'd like to do on offensive line and obviously getting

424
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 16: a chance to work with guy you know, veteran All

425
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 16: Pro guy like Ronnie Stanley and so forth.

426
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 20: Yes, Sir, like Ronnie Stanley, he's a great He's a

427
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 20: guy that I watched a lot of tape on because

428
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 20: I feel like me and him had a lot of

429
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 20: similarities and.

430
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:40,400
Speaker 19: Stuff like that. So I watched a lot of tons

431
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:40,919
Speaker 19: of tape on him.

432
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,479
Speaker 20: And when I think of the Ravens, I think of fast,

433
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 20: physical players and like getting up and down the field,

434
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,879
Speaker 20: and that's really who I am as a person. I'm fast,

435
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:52,439
Speaker 20: I'm violent, That's really what I do. So it's a

436
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 20: blessing made of heaven. And I just can't thank you

437
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 20: guys enough.

438
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 1: Garrett Downy than Garrison, just as you went through this process,

439
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 1: were the Ravens a team, he kind of circled and

440
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 1: hoped that you would end up here. How did you

441
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: view the possibility of potentially coming to Baltimore.

442
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 20: It's so it's so crazy because my agent and he's

443
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 20: gonna love it. Because my agent he literally tellts me

444
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 20: before the JEV he says, I can literally envision you

445
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 20: in the Ravens jersey and it's happened.

446
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 19: So I guess he's the man. This is man I taught.

447
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 20: You know, this process is a long process, but you

448
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 20: know that I was able to get up there for

449
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 20: a visiting and it really felt like home. It really

450
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 20: felt like a place that I can live with, I

451
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,360
Speaker 20: can live grow up in. So is an amazing.

452
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 9: Jonas Schaefer, Hey, Garson, congratulations, Uh what what? How important

453
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 9: do you think was the Senior Bowl? Your experience there?

454
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 9: I saw that you were the only HBCU player invited there.

455
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,120
Speaker 9: I mean, did do you feel like that was a

456
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 9: kind of, you know, a momentum changer for you during

457
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 9: this pre draft process.

458
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 20: Yeah, so I really think it was that Senior Bowl

459
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 20: was able to put me on a on the stage

460
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 20: where I can really prove myself against the best of

461
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 20: the best athletes, especially like when you're coming from a

462
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 20: smaller school. That's one thing that a lot of people

463
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 20: have questions on is if it can translate into a

464
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 20: higher level. So the Senior Bowl was a blessing to

465
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,200
Speaker 20: get the invite and then to prepare myself to play

466
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 20: well at it.

467
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 19: With just the ice on the cake.

468
00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 3: We'll go to Jionahan and then Brian Wicker.

469
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 15: Again kind of going off the fact that you came

470
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 15: from an HBCU.

471
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 21: What does it mean to have the chance to represent

472
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 21: them at the sex level being.

473
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 20: From an HBCU. Is it's so special because you're been

474
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 20: like over this entire process. When HBCU guys get past

475
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 20: our space, you know, we have our rivalries and we

476
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 20: have the teams that we go at each other, but

477
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 20: after when we get past it, like we're all one

478
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 20: big family, We're all one big thing. So I mean,

479
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 20: I've got support from every single team from a HBCU

480
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 20: especially after I got the Singing Bowl invite. After games,

481
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 20: they would say, hey, you're gonna do great things at

482
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 20: the So it's all one big family, and you know

483
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 20: what the transport on the way things is a lot

484
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 20: of guys feel like they have to transfer up to

485
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 20: go to where they want to go. But it's really

486
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 20: important to me that, you know, I say that Alabama

487
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 20: A and M for all four years. You know, it

488
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 20: was the best four years of my life. And you

489
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 20: can go anywhere you want to from the institution that

490
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 20: you're at. So it was really it was really important

491
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 20: for me.

492
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 3: Brian Wacker and then Ryan Mink.

493
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 16: Yeah, Curvison, speaking of A and M, I think you're

494
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 16: the first player get drafted from there in like thirty years. Yes, sir,

495
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 16: what does that kind of mean to you? You know,

496
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 16: is it sunk in? And and you know, does it

497
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 16: doesn't matter where a guy comes from, ie small school

498
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 16: versus big school and so forth.

499
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 20: Man, you know, football is just an amazing sport that

500
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 20: there's people from all walker life. That's why football is

501
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 20: the ultimate team sport. There's people from all watks of life,

502
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 20: every single background, and that's the really thing that brings

503
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 20: the sport together. So, you know, being from a smaller school,

504
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 20: it was so amazing, just like the family feel that

505
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 20: I got from there, and then they built me up

506
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,119
Speaker 20: because everything I am right now is that Alabama A

507
00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 20: and M built So you know, I credited them and

508
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 20: my coaches and those training staff and they got me together.

509
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 20: And you know, it's really just to be a blessing

510
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 20: that can not only be coming from those institutions, but

511
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 20: when I get to where I'm at, I can give

512
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 20: it back.

513
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 19: Because that's one of the most important things too, is

514
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:12,880
Speaker 19: giving back.

515
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 3: Ryan and then created parks.

516
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 13: Yeah, Carson, I'm curious about your decision not to leave

517
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 13: A and M and enter the portal and try to

518
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 13: go somewhere else. Why did you make that decision specifically?

519
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,800
Speaker 13: And then secondarily, why how did everybody miss on recruiting

520
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 13: you out of high school? Like how did that happen

521
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 13: given your size and everything? Why were you so lately recruited?

522
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 20: Yeah, you know, I'm from Carry, North Carolina and n

523
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 20: C State's right here, Duke's right here, North Carolina's right here.

524
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 19: None of them wanted me. None of them wanted me.

525
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 20: I slipped through the crass. But ada been in A

526
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 20: and m They found me. They found me, and they

527
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 20: took me in with open arms. So especially like when

528
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 20: those schools came back around calling I grew up in

529
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,040
Speaker 20: North Carolina, man, I wanted to go to Carolina and

530
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 20: they came back all around my junior same year, and

531
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 20: I wasn't gonna go because you didn't want me out

532
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 20: of high school. So it was really just a chip

533
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 20: on my shirt that I took through about college and

534
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 20: I said, Okay, I'm gonna do it from the school

535
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 20: that wanted me first.

536
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 3: Created do you have a question I do?

537
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 22: Hi, Carson, I just wanted to circle back you were

538
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 22: when you were talking about being from an HPP. You

539
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 22: said it's supportant for you to give back.

540
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 19: So I'm just.

541
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 22: Curious if you could just tell me what it is

542
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 22: that you're looking to do, Just give me more insight

543
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 22: on that piece.

544
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 20: Yeah, so I want to pour into it, like when

545
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,919
Speaker 20: you when you get past the HPC. It's really important

546
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 20: not only just to give money. Anybody can give a check,

547
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 20: but it's really important to be there and give be

548
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,840
Speaker 20: hands on because you know a lot of times when

549
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 20: we make it from these spaces, we might give a

550
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 20: check back or might give some money back, but I

551
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 20: really want to go back to my institution and be

552
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 20: there where they could see me because it's important. I

553
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 20: know when Robert Mathis came to practices, when we had

554
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,960
Speaker 20: John Saliver come to practices. It's really easy when gods

555
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 20: say like, Okay, this guy's did it, this guy's get it,

556
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 20: But when you see them in the flesh, it becomes real.

557
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 20: So I knew it was real because I've seen Robert

558
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 20: Mathis in person and he went to the same institution

559
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 20: I did. I seen John Stalwart, So it's really important

560
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,600
Speaker 20: to be there, and that's how I really wanted to

561
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 20: give back. It's about me being hands on.

562
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 18: We have time for two more, so we'll go to

563
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 18: Jonas Schaeffer and then wrap it up with Ryan mink.

564
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 9: Hey Carson. Yesterday, one of the picks that the Ravens

565
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 9: made was on one of your fellow Senior bowlers, of

566
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 9: Mike Green. I don't know if you guys ever matched

567
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,239
Speaker 9: up when on one or in practice, but what were

568
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 9: your impersions of him as a player and a person?

569
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:24,919
Speaker 19: Man that due is a dog, you know.

570
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 20: I we didn't get to match up at the Senior Bowl,

571
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 20: but I saw clips now especially dabaira one that everybody

572
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,919
Speaker 20: was talking about. So, you know, and that man is

573
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 20: he's an animal, he's a dog. He's going to help

574
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 20: our organization. We're going to Super.

575
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 3: Bowl, Ryan mink, Ryan un mute please.

576
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 19: Sorry?

577
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 13: Yeah, Carson, I know you went against a couple of

578
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,479
Speaker 13: SEC teams Vandy and Auburn. You know during your career,

579
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 13: how'd you feel like that that went when you kind

580
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 13: of had this big teams as opponents.

581
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 20: Yeah, those are amazing experiences because you really see how

582
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 20: you match up against those guys, and you really see

583
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:09,639
Speaker 20: on what you're made of, and you know, those are

584
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 20: great experiences for me. Those are games that a lot

585
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 20: of scouts and a lot of people wanted to see

586
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 20: from me. So it was just an amazing experience to

587
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 20: play against those players and really show that, you know,

588
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 20: I can do this, and then you go to a

589
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:21,639
Speaker 20: space out of Singer Bowl, which is the best of

590
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 20: those best and it just is just exponentially better.

591
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,680

00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,040

Speaker 13: for you.

605
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 23: Well, I've always been a fan, you know, the defense

606
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 23: has always been just a great defense to watch. They

607
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,879
Speaker 23: got Dogars, you got Kyle Hamilton, and then you just

608
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 23: got Malachi Stars with someone who I've had a relationship

609
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 23: with about the last couple of months. We've been working

610
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 23: out at the same spot over in Tampa, so we've

611
00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 23: been competing against each other and making each other better

612
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 23: for joking around.

613
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 5: So we got we got close throughout there.

614
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 23: So like being able to come here with him and

615
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 23: getting right back to it is really really great, really great.

616
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: We'll go to Garrett Downing.

617
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: I guess just along those lines, what happened your impressions

618
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: of Malachi and the two of you working together and

619
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: and just kind of the thoughts of of certainly you'll

620
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,280

661
00:31:01,360 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: that's going through your head when you get a moment

662
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: like this. How have you Is that something you kind

663
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: of thought about in the moment of getting this pick,

664
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 1: of the culmination of all that led up to this moment.

665
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, definitely.

666
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 23: I mean, just going from Juco to art to Indiana

667
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 23: State to Western Michigan.

668
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,880
Speaker 5: All those flashbacks are definitely reminiscent around.

669
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 23: These times right now, especially just sitting down and washing

670
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 23: Washington happened in front of me. It is a surreal

671
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 23: full circle moment as well, you know, just just seeing

672
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 23: all this and then having my family here and seeing

673
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 23: what I've been through, seeing the challenges that overcame throughout football.

674
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's real.

675
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 1: It just on the Juke route, Like, how what does

676
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: that mean to go from the Juco route to make

677
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: it to this point to the NFL.

678
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 23: Yeah, so the Juco route it's where you find out

679
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 23: how much you really love football, you know. It's a

680
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 23: place where you just sit, put your feet in the

681
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,760
Speaker 23: dirt and work every day, you know, and if you

682
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 23: don't really like football, you're probably gone before the end

683
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 23: of the week. So it showed me my purpose. It

684
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 23: showed me how much purpose I really have. It showed

685
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 23: me how much I'm willing to sacrifice, and I found

686
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 23: my consistency there.

687
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 5: So I'm grateful for sure.

709
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 13: Please, Yeah, can you talk a little bit more about

710
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 13: your upbringing childhood. I read that you know your your

711
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:33,960
Speaker 13: family was on house for a bit and you you know,

712
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 13: found kind of different housing and moved in with some people.

713
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 13: Can you talk about the challenges that you've already overcome

714
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 13: in your life and how that has shaped you as

715
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 13: a person.

716
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 23: Yeah, I mean a lot of challenges I mean coming

717
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 23: here first from Ivory Coast, I mean I was born here,

718
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 23: but I came, I came back to the US.

719
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:54,960
Speaker 5: I had to learn English, you know, I.

720
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:59,400
Speaker 23: Had my first language was French, so picking up English.

721
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,560
Speaker 23: Going from my freshman year, my little brother passed away,

722
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 23: and that's that's when like the motive came, That's when

723
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 23: the purpose came a little bit, and I had an

724
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 23: idea of how how great a person he was unshard.

725
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 23: But then that's when perspectives came in. And I grew

726
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 23: up a little quicker than most guys had to. And

727
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 23: so carrying that onto to Juco was was kind of

728
00:34:22,280 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 23: what willed me a little more than other guys. That

729
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 23: kept me around and knowing that I had something that

730
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 23: I wanted to make something out of people that I

731
00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 23: wanted to make proud of my little brother. And so

732
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 23: me and my brother always fought like that for him.

733
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,879
Speaker 23: We always put our best foot in front, not for us,

734
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:42,439
Speaker 23: but because of my little brother.

735
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 5: You know.

736
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 23: That's what we do every day, and that's what my

737
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 23: mom does every day, and we just we lived through

738
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:50,440
Speaker 23: him as well. So going through through that, going to Juco,

739
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:53,640
Speaker 23: that's that's honestly when it started for me. But then

740
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:57,360
Speaker 23: in high school, Yeah, I did end up moving out

741
00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 23: out of my mom's place because we can't we couldn't

742
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 23: be together because of financial reasons. So I moved in

743
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 23: with some other people who really helped me out throughout

744
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,880
Speaker 23: the way, and I was grateful for that as well,

745
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 23: And so a lot of perspectives have have really helped

746
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 23: me until this day, which I'm super grateful.

747
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:22,240
Speaker 3: Ford and Gianna will close it out with you please.

748
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 15: I saw the university that you suffered injury last year

749
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 15: where I guess you weren't able to eat for a while.

750
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 21: Can you talk about that and what it was like

751
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 21: to fight back through that and then get to the

752
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:37,879
Speaker 21: point you are now?

753
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 5: You said what, I'm sorry.

754
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 21: The injury that you suffered at the end of last

755
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 21: season that had you missed the end of the season.

756
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 12: What was it like to fight back through too?

757
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 5: Sorry?

758
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:51,240
Speaker 21: Oh yeah, and going from I guess like a liquid

759
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 21: diet and then getting.

760
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, that was It was a crazy time.

761
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 23: Honestly, it happened during the game when I was at

762
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 23: Indiana State, and but I didn't feel until after the

763
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 23: game was over. And after the game was over, I

764
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 23: had I told them I couldn't.

765
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 5: I couldn't. I could barely breathe, I could barely eat.

766
00:36:10,239 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 23: So I stayed the night when we were I think

767
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 23: we're in South Dakota and I.

768
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:17,760
Speaker 5: Stayed the night there instead of flying back with the team.

769
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 23: And they told me that I kind of like fractured

770
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 23: something in my hyoid I think it was, and so

771
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,640
Speaker 23: that that took me out for just like a month

772
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 23: or something, a month maybe, but yeah, I didn't finish

773
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,319
Speaker 23: the rest of that season. But I mean I could

774
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 23: barely eat, so I was on liquid diet.

775
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,040

Speaker 21: I know a lot of NFL kickers have said that

859
00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 21: the AFC North is a really hard division to kick in.

860
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 21: What sort of experience do you have kicking in weather

861
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,640
Speaker 21: like that and anticipation you have to be in this division?

862
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:20,319
Speaker 24: Yeah, you know, I've being in the pac twelve got

863
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 24: to go up to Washington and Washington stay Oregon and

864
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 24: play up there and some some cold weather and some

865
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 24: wind and crazy conditions, and it's it's something that gets

866
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 24: me excited, you know. I think having having a challenge

867
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:39,280
Speaker 24: to go conquer and you know, a skill set to

868
00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 24: to refine and really work on and become an expert

869
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 24: of kicking in those conditions is something that gets me

870
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 24: fired up. You know, learning from learning from coaches who

871
00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 24: have been up there for a long time and learned

872
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 24: how to be successful in the AFC North kicking like that,

873
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 24: that's something that the sound of gets me pumped up.

874
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 12: So we're looking forward to it and learning all that.

875
00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:12,399

876
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 16: maybe some of your favorite kickers growing up and and

877
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 16: and knowing, you know, kind of alluding to the question

878
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 16: about Justin Tucker earlier, is that you know, is that

879
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,400
Speaker 16: something you just have to set aside or how do

880
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 16: you kind of apartmentalize that?

881
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 24: I guess, Yeah, So as far as kickers that I

882
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:41,840
Speaker 24: really looked up to growing up, you know, especially especially

883
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 24: like getting into college. Nick Folk, uh Beel Arizon a Wildcat.

884
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 11: Uh.

885
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 24: You know, obviously Justin Tucker's from from Texas and I

886
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 24: was I was a long horn fan growing up, so uh,

887
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,279
Speaker 24: you know, there's elements of guys like that who have

888
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:01,319
Speaker 24: passed success in the league and been regarded as like

889
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 24: the elite place kickers in the NFL.

890
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,960
Speaker 12: You know, I admire a lot of parts of their games,

891
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 12: but it's.

892
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 24: One of those where it's like, hey, I you know

893
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 24: the I've got I've got things that i can do

894
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:16,279
Speaker 24: to to learn from them, but I've also got my own,

895
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 24: my own style and my own kicking and just figuring

896
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 24: out what's gonna work to be successful in Baltimore and

897
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 24: it kicks and win games.

898
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 5: Uh.

899
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 24: You know what that looks like is, you know, just

900
00:43:30,719 --> 00:43:34,320
Speaker 24: stacking days and learning and taking input and just competing

901
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 24: every day.

902
00:43:34,880 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 12: So that's that's what.

903
00:43:35,520 --> 00:43:36,000
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do.

904
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 12: That's what I'm ready for.

905
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 13: Ryan Mink, congratulations, Tyler. You talk about your style of kicking.

906
00:43:44,640 --> 00:43:48,239
Speaker 13: Can you describe what your style is and did you

907
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 13: feel like you had the biggest leg of any kicker

908
00:43:50,880 --> 00:43:51,880
Speaker 13: in this year's draft.

909
00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 24: I'd say the one thing that I my hat on

910
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 24: is U loving like being a student of the craft.

911
00:44:04,960 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 24: You know, guys in golf and baseball, you have a

912
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 24: swing coach because we're doing the same thing, trying to

913
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 24: hit the same.

914
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:13,200
Speaker 12: Ball every time.

915
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,479
Speaker 24: And so I was super fortunate to have a coach

916
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:21,680
Speaker 24: here in Texas through Cole's kick and Morgan Laneberry and

917
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:25,160
Speaker 24: uh from my sophomore years, like, Hey, we're going to

918
00:44:25,200 --> 00:44:28,719
Speaker 24: figure out, we're gonna learn your swing, we're gonna learn

919
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,319
Speaker 24: what works, what keys worked for you, and we're going

920
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:31,560
Speaker 24: to be.

921
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:32,719
Speaker 12: As efficient as possible.

922
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 24: And that's something that that I really enjoy because there

923
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 24: are days where you don't feel good. There are days

924
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 24: where you're not in a groove, and if you're not

925
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,920
Speaker 24: feeling it, you know you can always fall back run

926
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,800
Speaker 24: your mechanics to be to be successful, to make kicks,

927
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 24: and so that that gets me excited knowing that that's

928
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 24: just something that I enjoy, is the mechanics of the

929
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 24: game and how kicking works. And as far as life strength, Like, dude,

930
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 24: there's some rest of legs in this class, I definitely

931
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,960
Speaker 24: would think I'm up there, but man, it was it

932
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,640
Speaker 24: was really fun like competing with those.

933
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 12: Guys at the combine and just seeing how talented they are.

934
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,080
Speaker 24: And just that that brotherhood is really special, so it

935
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 24: was fun.

936
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,960
Speaker 3: Jameson Ensley.

937
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 11: I mean, you know everyone talks about Justin Talker and

938
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 11: how he's the most accurate kicker in NFL history. How

939
00:45:26,560 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 11: much pressure would it be?

940
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 5: Do you would you feel whether.

941
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 11: It's competing against him or following in his footsteps. I'm

942
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:36,360
Speaker 11: just trying to gate how much pressure you would feel

943
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:37,760
Speaker 11: in that type of situation.

944
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 24: I think it's I think it's really exciting more than pressure,

945
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 24: just because it gives me something to shoot for. Right

946
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,680
Speaker 24: There's you know, we always want to be improving, We

948
00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 24: to adjust well and make kicks, and you know, getting

949
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 24: to get him to fall in the footsteps of a

950
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 24: guy like that has been and so elite and get

951
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 24: to compete with him and they learn from him like

952
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 24: that just gets me. That gets me fired up and
