1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,400 Speaker 1: How would you characterize your season and do you feel 2 00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,000 Speaker 1: the same since you're coming back from from the concussion 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,319 Speaker 1: or is there you know, the yards after catch is 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: nothing what. 5 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 2: It was before. Are you talking about me individually? Individually? Personally? 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:17,800 Speaker 2: I mean I. 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 3: Feel good even though having a concussion, I mean yards 8 00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,600 Speaker 3: have to catch everything. I'm not gonna say every time 9 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 3: I catch the battle, but I know I try my 10 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 3: best to, you know, try to get as many yards 11 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:28,960 Speaker 3: as possible. 12 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: I mean, if if I'm tackled, I'm tackled. That's just 13 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 2: how the game go. These guys at leats in this league, 14 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 2: they rather to the football. They do their jobs. They're 15 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,120 Speaker 2: known that you know, to tackle right. 16 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 3: But you know, I've been trying my best to trying 17 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,479 Speaker 3: to get as many yards after to catch as possible. 18 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, the defensit is keying on me 19 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 3: even more, you know, rather than I was in the 20 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 3: first weeks. So you know, I got to make some adjustments. 21 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't feel any different than having a 22 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 3: concussion afterwards. 23 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 1: Do you think the biggest differences between the production for 24 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: the concussion and afterwards that is the way that the attention. 25 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: Kind of that you're getting. Yeah, yeah, I believe. So 26 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 2: it's just the attention. 27 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 3: I mean they can on what kind of routside and 28 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 3: run you know, I'm twelfth game of the season. I 29 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 3: mean everybody watches film. They all gonna matchmake on what 30 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 3: games on which routes did I run? How I run 31 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 3: out office? So yeah, I mean, you know it's a 32 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 3: it's the league. They're gonna watch the film on you. 33 00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 3: So I mean it's they rally into the football, get 34 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 3: me on the ground. 35 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 2: You know, that's just how football is. So what's the 36 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: adjustment for you off that? 37 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: Like, what do you when you're looking and say, how 38 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: to how do I now deal with that? 39 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 3: Trying to get my head around quicker after I catch 40 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 3: the ball, just trying to feel the defenders even faster 41 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 3: than I have before. 42 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: And that's really it. I mean, just get a just 43 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:43,639 Speaker 2: get a good key, get a good read. 44 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 3: Before I turn my head and look for the football 45 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 3: where the defenders are and how they rallying. And that's 46 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 3: really that's what I did, you know before times, just 47 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 3: able to feel what defenders are run into with him 48 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 3: they're coming to and able to you know, make a 49 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 3: quick move fast. 50 00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: You know, I just gotta find try to find a 51 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: better really do that. I believe you've had three different quarterbacks. 52 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 4: Now throwing the ball in games. Have you had that 53 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 4: before going either in college? Do you remember having a 54 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 4: situation like that and how do you develop chemistry with 55 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 4: each of them? 56 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe I did go through that. My freshman 57 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 3: year of college. We had Miles Brennan. I believe, we 58 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 3: had Max Johnson, had nus Mara there too, so we 59 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: didn't know who was really gonna start. Then Max started, 60 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 3: and after Nuts came in some games, and after in 61 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 3: the bowl game we had Johnson Kirkland throw into it. 62 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 3: So I mean, at the end of the day, it's 63 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 3: still it's catching the ball. I mean, you know, every 64 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 3: quarterback has a different spin on the ball. But as 65 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,679 Speaker 3: long as you can just try to get a good 66 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 3: key on how they throw the ball, get some catches 67 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 3: after practice with them, just trying to figure out how you. 68 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: Can grip their their ball. And that's really it. 69 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 4: That's something you've been doing, staying after practice with each 70 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 4: of the guys, whoever's gonna start that week. 71 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,560 Speaker 3: I mean I tried to get as many catches as possible, 72 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 3: you know, before you know, before practice, try to see 73 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 3: you know the kind of spin on the football, trying 74 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 3: to see different ways sucess. 75 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,359 Speaker 1: If you thought, man, what was your expectation about the 76 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: kind of impact you could be obviously your confident in 77 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: your ability and what you did in college as a pro, 78 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 1: and how is it gone versus the way you thought 79 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: it may go in terms of have you benas impact 80 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 1: pulls you thought you could be or do you think 81 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: there's more? 82 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 2: I mean, that's always more for me. 83 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 3: I think now I could be I could be doing 84 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 3: some amazing things right now. Is this going the way 85 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: I've thought it was gone? 86 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: Nah? 87 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: Not really, But you know, I'm still continuing to work 88 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 3: on trying to get that out. Like I said, I 89 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: feel like I can be doing way more than I've 90 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: been doing so far. But you know, God always has 91 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 3: a better plan for you. Just gotta follow the steps. 92 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 4: When we go back to that hard knock slip, you 93 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 4: said you don't deal with losing, well, what have you 94 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 4: learned about yourself through this season and having to deal 95 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 4: with it here? 96 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 2: Just focus on more things. 97 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 3: You can control my emotions, how I care myself character, 98 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 3: so so yeah, even though these things is being going down. 99 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 3: How you can look at you in the mirror and 100 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 3: just try to find a way for you to help 101 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 3: the team out, help the team figure out how to win. 102 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: And just like I said, focus on your character. You 103 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: can't really do nothing anything about it now. The record 104 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 3: is the record, but you can still focus on moving forward. 105 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: To deal with that. 106 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: And to kind of process that those different emotions. Have 107 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: you done anything differently or have been talking to people 108 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: about that? 109 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: No, I haven't really talked to anyone about that. No 110 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 3: therapy or nothing, not. Just I read to handle stuff 111 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 3: on my own. I know a lot of people preached 112 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 3: that don't handle everything on your own, but that's just 113 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: that's kind of my way, and that's kind of how I. 114 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: Get over a lot of stuff is just handling on 115 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 2: my own way. 116 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,040 Speaker 1: You raise some Mike brows, uh after the Dallas came aback, 117 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 1: maybe by saying I don't care if I drop it 118 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: six times or keep throwing it to me, you know, 119 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: can you kind of expand on that a little bit 120 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 1: because obviously something the drops are probably been one of 121 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 1: the things you'd like to get back that you'. 122 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 3: Like I said, you know, it's football, It's gonna come 123 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 3: with that. I mean er, everybone's gonna drop the ball. 124 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 3: I'm not saying everybody, because you know some people thrive 125 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 3: themselves not dropping the ball. But it's a it's a 126 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 3: it's a sport, it's a thing. But like I said, 127 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 3: like I just can't think about going into the game 128 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 3: dropping the ball after I dropped the ball, keep it 129 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 3: in my head like I just dropped the ball. 130 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: I just got to move forward. So that's what I 131 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 2: was saying. 132 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 3: It's not like not like I'm saying, you know, even 133 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 3: though I'm dropping the ball, keep throwing the ball. 134 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 2: No self, is what I'm saying. It's not something that 135 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: I'm thinking about in my head after I dropped the ball. 136 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,520 Speaker 2: It's next play mentality. 137 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 3: So you know, I could drop five footballs in there 138 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: after they come at me for the game winner, and 139 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 3: then I catch the game winner and then. 140 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: Everybody's happy and the stuff like that. 141 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 3: But like I said, it's keep keep trusting me. 142 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 2: Uh. 143 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 3: You know, some players are not gonna be made. I'm 144 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: aware of that, but you know some players are. 145 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 2: Gonna be made. 146 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: How driven are you to be a part of the 147 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: solution here. We got a lot of young guys here 148 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: that are getting a lot of playing time. Rookies have 149 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: driven to you to try to be a part of 150 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: that turning this round. 151 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I'm very driven. I mean I'm very driven. 152 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: I mean, like I said, things haven't been going the 153 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 3: right way. But if you can turn around and make 154 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 3: something spectacular, you know, out of nothing, you know, I like, 155 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 3: I like doing that. I mean it shows how how 156 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: much we rally around each other, how much we have 157 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 3: leaders in this in this team, in this offense. So yeah, 158 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 3: I'm tryna work on, you know, turning that narrative around.
