We're switching it up a little bit this week. 3 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: Coming up, you'll hear from the college head coaches of 4 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,720 Speaker 1: second round pick this Zer, Adderlie and third round pick 5 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: Trey Pipkets, Delawares, Danny Rocco, and Sue falls Is. John 6 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 1: Anderson will join me soon, but first, I had the 7 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: pleasure of talking to several draft analysts on the podcast 8 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: over the last few months. We're gonna take a look 9 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,640 Speaker 1: back at what they said about the Chargers first two 10 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:43,600 Speaker 1: selections in the twenty nineteen NFL Draft. All right, please 11 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: be joined by Dane Bruegler of The Athletic as we 12 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,600 Speaker 1: shift our focus to the NFL Draft and next week's 13 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 1: Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. Dane, last year Coles linebacker 14 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: Darius Leonard was in Mobile, and he's a small school 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: guy who already and All Pro, probably compete with Durwin 16 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: for Rookie of the Year. Who's this year's Darius Leonard 17 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: in Mobile? The top small school player this year is 18 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 1: the year Adderley, free safety from Delaware, who first of all, 19 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: he has Hall of Fame bloodlinings, his cousin a couple 20 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,399 Speaker 1: of times removed his herb Adderley, who won a couple 21 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 1: of Super Bowls with Packers, won a few championships with 22 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 1: the Cowboys in the sixties, so he has the Hall 23 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: of Fame bloodline. He is a former corner, so he's 24 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:32,039 Speaker 1: got a corner feet, moves well, but he'll come up 25 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: and hit you. He's a healthy run defender, a really 26 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,400 Speaker 1: good kit. I had really enjoyed my talks with him 27 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: throughout the Hall. Got a chance to kind of sit 28 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: down with him, go over the tape, and really likely 29 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: he has to offer. He he came in at number 30 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: twenty one overall on my draft board going into the 31 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: Senior Bowls, so I'm eager to see if he can 32 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,320 Speaker 1: kind of live up to the high ranking that I have. 33 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: And he's I'm hating my top safety this year, so 34 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: we'll see if he lives up to that. Because you 35 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: know he's a he's a really good player, but you 36 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: know he's going to be expected to step up and 37 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: play with all the FBS athletes and not look like 38 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: he's out of place at all. So big week for 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: him to see. Algi performs very please be joined by 40 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 1: Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports here on Chargers Weekly. Based 41 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: on everything we talked about, who do you think the 42 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: Chargers should select at twenty eight overall? Obviously I look 43 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: at needs on his football team. I think offensive line 44 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: and defensive line. I think any NFL team could further 45 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: bolster that and feel good about it coming out of 46 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: a draft. Who do you think the Chargers should select 47 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,239 Speaker 1: a number twenty eight? The guy that I've mocked to 48 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: them the most. It's kind of weird. He's actually a 49 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,920 Speaker 1: player that I have in my top ten overall prospects, 50 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: but I think he'll probably last to twenty eight. Jerry 51 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: Killery from Notre Dame. He's not someone that fits the 52 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: profile of a you know, big block eating space eating 53 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 1: nose tackle. He's taller, he's almost sixty seven. But you 54 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: turn on any Notre Dame game last year, really the 55 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 1: last whose seasons, and he was so disruptive in the 56 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: run game and especially as a pass rusher. He has long, 57 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: really strong arms that he uses well. A lot of 58 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: guys on the defensive line can just win with their athleticism, 59 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: and they even at the college level and a high level, 60 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: they just lean on that. But Hillary did test as 61 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: a good athlete for his position, even though he's kind 62 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: of uniquely sized. But he uses his hands. He has 63 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: a variety of pass rushing who's a really heavy hand, 64 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,360 Speaker 1: you know when he's using his swim move or a 65 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: slight move. The offensive lineman feel it. I think he 66 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 1: would be the perfect type of player to be between 67 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: Joey Boza and Melvin Ingram on that defensive line. They've 68 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: hit Brandon he been there for a while, who's just 69 00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: more of a space eater, and it certainly did a 70 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: good job in that rule. But if you could say, hey, 71 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: we have these two great edge rushers and we can 72 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: create pressure in the middle him and Justin Jones inside 73 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: their third round pick from last year out of NC State, 74 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: I liked a lot. Then you're talking about arguably one 75 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: of the best defensive lines, you know, front fours in 76 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: the entire NFL, and I think you know we have 77 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: seen being in that division with the Kents City Chiefs 78 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,800 Speaker 1: creating pressure. Hon Pat Mahomes will be paramounts. So I 79 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: think he would be the perfect pick or any one 80 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: of these top defensive tackles, because that just seems like 81 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: the biggest need for a team that otherwise is a 82 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: pretty well rounded roster. Chris. The reason I love that 83 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: pick is not only how he would compliment Ingram and Bosa, 84 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: but the Chargers identified a couple other pass rushers too. 85 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: You Chenna Nuosu, who had that great strip sack at 86 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: the end of the playoff game against the Ravens, had 87 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: a really good year to close the year. And Isaac Roschell, 88 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: who was Tillary's teammate at Notre Dame, filled in for Bosa, 89 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 1: did a really good job at six sacks last year. 90 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 1: He actually said he talked to Hillary recently and was like, Hey, 91 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: what's all this buzz about. And obviously the Chargers are 92 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: not connected to you know, media mock drafts, but it's 93 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: just funny because you do see Tillery's name, Assi hit 94 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 1: him with the charges. Yeah, and it's just I rememberstand 95 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: it personally, like I said, I have him as my 96 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 1: number seven overall player. Honestly, I didn't expect him to 97 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: have the combine that he did, being six to seven 98 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: and around three hundred pounds, that had to be a 99 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: little stiffer, and he had one of the best workouts 100 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 1: of any of the defensive tackles. He just seems like 101 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: a player that doesn't have a ton of buzz about him, 102 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: didn't have crazy gaudy statistics. I think his pressures stats 103 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: were pretty good. And after a lot of the more 104 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: highly talented players like Christian Wilkins at Clemson, like Dexter 105 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 1: Laurenti Clemson, Quinnon Williams obviously from Alabama's probably going to 106 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 1: go into the top five. He seems like in that 107 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 1: second tier of top prospects. So I think after a 108 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: lot of those players going out of the edge Rusher's goal, 109 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:49,720 Speaker 1: he could still be available and it would be a 110 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: perfect fit on one of the to me, a defense 111 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 1: that is kind of trending what the whole NFL needs 112 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 1: to be a lot of defensive backs on the field, 113 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: a lot of you know, different packages up front. Just 114 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: a really good player that I think would be a 115 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: perfect fit and it would fill an immediate need. All Right, 116 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: we now pass the baton to Mike Grenner of Pro 117 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: Football Focus. Who do you envision being that best player 118 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 1: available when the Chargers select at the end of the 119 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,520 Speaker 1: first round. You know, I look at linebacker, I look 120 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: at offensive line, defensive line, maybe a corner. Who do 121 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: you think would be the best fit at the end 122 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: of the first round for the Bolts. I think there's 123 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 1: two names that I'd be looking for if I'm the 124 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: Chargers for you know, optimal situations or optimal guys to 125 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: fall to me. One is Jerry Tillery at the Notre 126 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: Dame defensive tackle. We have him as a top ten 127 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: player in our class. I think is what he can 128 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 1: do bring the table as a pass rusher and what 129 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: he could do on stunts, especially from what we saw 130 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: that Notre Dame, and how valuable that would be to 131 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: the Chargers would be. It would just take that pass 132 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: rush to the next level with him Ingram Botha, that 133 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: would be an dynamic trio of pass rushers there on 134 00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: that defensive line. So I think he would be the 135 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: ideal situation. Also in this Zier Adderlie a lot of 136 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,600 Speaker 1: people have mocked him there. I know he but the 137 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: combination of Adderlee's ball skills and explosiveness in the middle 138 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: of the field with Derwin james On, you know, up 139 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: around the line of scrimmage, there's two guys who can 140 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: cover a lot of ground in the middle of that field, 141 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: shut down a lot of passing length. I think that 142 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: would also be an ideal fit for the Chargers. A 143 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 1: close friend of the podcast, Isaac Rochelle, joins me, you know, 144 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: I look at these mock drafts and stuff. Its just 145 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: the whole process in general. Man, it's funny because a 146 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 1: lot of it's just manufactured, you know it is. It's 147 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: a lot of entertainment when we look at these mock 148 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: drafts and there's a former teammate of years, it keeps 149 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: getting mocked to the Chargers. At the end of the 150 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: first Jerry Tillery, what do you know about Jerry. Jerry's 151 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: a great dude. I talked to Jerry last night for 152 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: probably about thirty minutes about to combine, and it's funny. 153 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: As soon as you asked me, did I talk to 154 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 1: the Charger as while I was getting like going through 155 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: this process, I was thinking no, But I was like, man, 156 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 1: it's funny because I keep seeing Jerry on the mock 157 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: draft to come to the Chargers. Yeah, last sound like 158 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: if he talks like if you talked to the Chargers. 159 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: He's like, no, not at all, And it's just hilarious 160 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: because I know inevitably he's on their radar. He's a 161 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,200 Speaker 1: great interior d lineman. I know on a lot of 162 00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: the mock drafts. They've got us drafting into your d 163 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: lineman early. But it's crazy because it's like this dude 164 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: doesn't talk to them at all, and then they can 165 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 1: end up drafting him. But what do I know about Jerry. 166 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 1: I know Jerry's gonna come in and work. I know 167 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 1: Jerry's going to definitely fit in our locker room. He's 168 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,680 Speaker 1: a likable dude, which, like I said, two most important things, 169 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 1: are you likable and are you gonna work hard? And 170 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: the biggest thing, not to be understated, is he's an 171 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: unbelievable player. I mean, if you look at his career 172 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: at Notre Dame, who's playing early as freshman year, making plays, 173 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: not a huge contributor as freshman year, but if you 174 00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: look at his development all the way to his senior 175 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: year leading the team in sacks as a d tackle, 176 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: having like at nine sacks, he's a great player. So 177 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,200 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see where he goes. Hopefully it isn't Chargers, 178 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: all right. Delaware safety Nazer Atterlee is the newest member 179 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,560 Speaker 1: of the LA Chargers and it's a treat for me 180 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 1: to bring on his college head coach Danny Rocco to 181 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: Chargers weekly. Coach, I appreciate you joining me first, A 182 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: big congratulations to you. Thank you very much, appreciate it. 183 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: Where were you last night when you got the news 184 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: that nas was headed to La Well, I was watching 185 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,439 Speaker 1: the draft at my house with my wife and we 186 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: had a severe thunderstorm so we lost our power. Oh no, 187 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: And it was really ironic because I couldn't track it 188 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 1: on my phone and I knew it was about that time, 189 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: and then sure enough I got a few text messages 190 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 1: in a phone call, so I may have missed it live, 191 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: but certainly was tracking it really closely, and you know, 192 00:09:55,559 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: really excited for Nazier and just a great opportunity for him. Well, coach, 193 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,560 Speaker 1: let's just start with on the field, if you could 194 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: break down his game for us and just the type 195 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: of player that the Chargers are getting in that secondary. Well, 196 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 1: he's an extraordinary athlete and he's extremely virtatile. So I 197 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: think those are two things right there that will create 198 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,679 Speaker 1: a lot of value and create a lot of options. 199 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: I mean, he was an outstanding special teams player for 200 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 1: us in addition, so they have a guy that can 201 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 1: do a lot of different things and played some corner 202 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: Uh certainly could play over the slot, could be a 203 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 1: third down slot cover corner, and he can play in 204 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: the post. And I think what we saw him do 205 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: and really flash at was his range. He's got extraordinary 206 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: range in the post, and most of his highlights in 207 00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: the past game just show his ability that to cover 208 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,199 Speaker 1: ground and play the ball in the air. So he's 209 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,320 Speaker 1: an exciting player. He was very productive for us in 210 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: the run game. He was a downhill of safety. He 211 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,320 Speaker 1: was a good tackler. So he's a dynamic player. And 212 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 1: he's just a quality, quality young man, and you know, 213 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: great character person. And I think he's just gonna make 214 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 1: us very proud here as he takes the next step 215 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: on his journey. I think Daniel Jeremiah tweeted out this 216 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: morning that if you went into a lab and you 217 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: were trying to design the perfect compliment to Durwin James, 218 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: last year's first round pick and all Pro, he said, 219 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: you get Nazier Adderley, And I think you alluded to it. 220 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 1: Just the versatility, the range. This secondary has a lot 221 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 1: of players that can get to the ball. What do 222 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: you think it's gonna look like with Nazir and Derwin 223 00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: James patrolling secondaries in the NFL. Well, I think the 224 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: biggest thing is just playmaking ability, you know, And you know, 225 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: it's so so impressive to be able to have guys 226 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 1: back there that can change the game, you know, and 227 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: you know guys that aren't back there, you know, trying 228 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: to survive and and just get off the field to 229 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: trying to take the ball away. And those are the 230 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 1: kinds of things to me that really generate energy and enthusiasm, 231 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 1: you know, and momentum on your defense. So um, you know, 232 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: three and outs are great, but you take that ball 233 00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 1: away and it's even that much more exciting. And when 234 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: he gets his hands on the ball, um, you know, 235 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: he's dynamic. You know, he's done some things in the 236 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:41,319 Speaker 1: return game that really shows his athleticism. Uh. And we 237 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: certainly gave a lot of thought to play in this 238 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,199 Speaker 1: year at corner and I'm sorry at the slot receiver 239 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: position and get him the bottle of the backfield, but 240 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: we opted not to. But I do think that it 241 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: just brings another guy that can change the game because 242 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: of his ability to make plays range and his ability 243 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,439 Speaker 1: to see and play the ball in the air. Coach, 244 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how familiar you are with just this 245 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: charge of secondary. But I go back to a couple 246 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 1: of years ago, Casey Hayward. Up until last year, he 247 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: was one of the league leaders and interceptions over several years. 248 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 1: Then you bring in a guy like Desmond King from 249 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 1: Iowa who has just a nose for the football and 250 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: he makes plays very similar to what you were talking 251 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: about with nods yead Derwin James of the mix now Nazir, 252 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: this secondary has a bunch of guys and you mentioned 253 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: three and outs are great, but if you can get 254 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: your hands on the football, I think just having those 255 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: ball hawks around him is just going to elevate his 256 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: game as rookie year. Yeah, it's exciting. And everybody that 257 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: I'm talking to and everything I've been reading and tracking 258 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 1: here with the Chargers is you know, really validating that enthusiasm. 259 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: And you know, you get a little pressure on the 260 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 1: quarterback and the windows are very very small. That's right. 261 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: We have guys back there that can see it, break 262 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 1: on a cover ground and compete, uh you know for 263 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: the football. So um, you know, we knew we had 264 00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 1: something special. And the irony for me was I was 265 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: at another university in our conference as the head football 266 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,280 Speaker 1: coach before I came here to Delaware, so I played 267 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: against Nasir Richmond, the Richmond coach, Naser, that's correct. Yeah, 268 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,720 Speaker 1: we actually had Kyle Aletta. You know, Aletta got drafted 269 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: last year to the Giants, I think in the four, 270 00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: and Nasier made a couple of plays against m Kyle 271 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:42,120 Speaker 1: Aletta that just showed his amazing range and ability to 272 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 1: track the ball. Uh So really excited for Nasser and 273 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:52,000 Speaker 1: uh uh in his family, and I did think he's 274 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: going to have an outstanding future. One of the things 275 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: they say around here is Russian cover worked together and 276 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,440 Speaker 1: with Joey bos In, Melvin Ingram and Chenner nu Wosu 277 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: and now Jerry Tillery. To have that push up front 278 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: is just gonna make those guys in the back end 279 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: that much better. Coach, I want to talk about Nasier 280 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: off the field. What kind of guy are we getting? 281 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: I know that this locker room is made up of 282 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 1: high character individuals, and it sounds like Nazier's is gonna 283 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,960 Speaker 1: fit right in. Yeah. He really is a quality young man, 284 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 1: and he cares about people. He's kind, he's considerate of others, 285 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 1: and you know, those are things that we have a 286 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,400 Speaker 1: place a lot of value on you know, and he's 287 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 1: a kind hearted human being, I'm telling you. And it's 288 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: really neat now. Like with all these young people, you know, 289 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: they've gotta know. Everybody wants wants a leader. You know, 290 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 1: what you gotta be before you could be a leader 291 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: is a good follower. And as you make that transition 292 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,920 Speaker 1: into the NFL, you've got to be a good follower. 293 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 1: You gotta be willing to make the decisions to follow 294 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 1: the right guy that are going to show the way, 295 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 1: and the serial will be able to do that, and 296 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: in doing that, he's going to grow into a really 297 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 1: good leader in the league and be a guy that's 298 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: going to represent you know, your community and your organization 299 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 1: at a really, really high level. You know, last year 300 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: when Darwin James came in here, I think that was 301 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 1: one of the biggest things. He's an alpha personality and 302 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 1: he became a leader very early on as a rookie. 303 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: But to have mentors like Adrian Phillips, for instance, an 304 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: undrafted guy who went to the Pro Bowl this year. 305 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 1: He was an All Pro. He was undrafted and he 306 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 1: was released eight times throughout the course of his NFL career. 307 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: So to have a guy who started as an undrafted 308 00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: free agent, worked his way up as an All Pro, 309 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: as a as a special teamer and a pro bowler. 310 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: And then to have a guy like Darwin, who frankly 311 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: is in a similar position to now as just being 312 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: removed from the draft a year ago. I think it's 313 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: an nice combination of guys to look up to here 314 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: in LA And it's so important. I mean, it really is, 315 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: and it makes all the difference in the world. And 316 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: I don't care what your transition is. You know, you 317 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 1: can go from high school to college, college to the NFL. 318 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: I mean, as you're transitioning in life, you have to 319 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: have people out in front who kind of can show 320 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 1: you the way, show the expectations, and show you what 321 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: the culture of the organization is. And I've already heard 322 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 1: you speak of it a couple of times when you 323 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: talked about the culture the climate of the locker room there. 324 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: And you've got a lot of high quality, high character 325 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: men in that locker room, and that's so important as 326 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: you kind of bring in that next wave of young 327 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: people who aspire to do great things, and there's got 328 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: to be examples, you know, out in front of them 329 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: to allow them to see the importance of putting the 330 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: team first. And it seems like it's sound like and 331 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: it looks like that's exactly what's happening out there in 332 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: your organization. Yeah, big things are happening year three of 333 00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn being the head coach and Gus Bradley is 334 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator.

Well, hey, 372 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: I know it's a it's a small school, but but Trey, 373 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,880 Speaker 1: he was a big time prospect. Tom to LESCo made 374 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: that known in his press conference after the draft. Just 375 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 1: tell us the type of player that Trey is on 376 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:23,960 Speaker 1: the field. Explain his game on the field. Yeah, it 377 00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: starts with his athletic ability. Uh. You know, for for 378 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: a guy of his size, he bends extremely well, he 379 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,680 Speaker 1: runs extremely well, and and UH is a guy that 380 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: is a very very good student of the game. Um, 381 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 1: you're going to get a guy that that busts his 382 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,040 Speaker 1: tail on and off the field. He doesn't make mental mistakes, 383 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: and uh plays are extremely hard plays football the way 384 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: it should be played from from the start of the 385 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: whistle to the end of the whistle. Um, we're we're 386 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,199 Speaker 1: you know he was. He was a guy that that 387 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,479 Speaker 1: we hung our hat on and ran behind him when 388 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: we needed tough yards. And um, you know, the game 389 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: of game for Trey is UH is only going to 390 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: get better. I think I've told every scout that came 391 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: through here that his best day as a football ahead 392 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 1: of him still. And and he's far from peaked out 393 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:16,320 Speaker 1: and got some things to continue to work on body wise, 394 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: but his athleticism and the way he runs is what's 395 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: got him an opportunity here in the third round. Coach 396 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 1: his improvement over his college career. Did he just steadily 397 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,359 Speaker 1: get better as each year went on or was he 398 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: just kind of an impact player right from jump? Well, 399 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 1: he came in and red shirted with us his his 400 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 1: his first year and and kind of reshaped his body. Uh, 401 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: he was a three year starter for us, and and 402 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: you know, Uh, in my opinion, he got better every year. 403 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 1: And that's the thing about Trey, his his mentality and 404 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 1: his personality is, uh, he's going to find things to 405 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,840 Speaker 1: continually work on. When we sat down and uh, last 406 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: year at this time, going into his last season and 407 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 1: and and got some feedback from some some scouts and 408 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 1: the people in the league, you know what do you 409 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: need to see a trade to give him an opportunity? 410 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: And we kind of put a little checklist together and 411 00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: that's what he did. Uh. And one of the biggest 412 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 1: things was was improving. You know, he's the athletic guy, 413 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: and uh, we felt he needed to show some more 414 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: physicality and he went out and did that m you 415 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 1: know because he asked him too. And that's just again 416 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 1: type of guy you're gonna get is continuing to improve, 417 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: and uh he's gonna work be very very diligent, work 418 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 1: hard at what he does. I'd say it's so important 419 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: to have the right atmosphere and the right culture around you, 420 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 1: especially when you get into the NFL. And I can 421 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: sell you first hand the offensive line coach Pat Meyer. 422 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: Couple that with veterans like Russell o'kun who's won a 423 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: Super Bowl, who's been in a Pro Bowl, Mike Pouncey 424 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 1: who's been in a Pro Bowl and a leader on 425 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: that offensive line, and even these younger guys like Forest 426 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,159 Speaker 1: Lamp and Dan Feeney. A lot of good resources for 427 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: Trey here in Los Angeles. Well, that's an excellent opportunity 428 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 1: for him. And Uh, I know that he's going to 429 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 1: add to that room. He's going to be a sponge. 430 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 1: And that's the thing about Treys. He's humble, he got 431 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 1: a lot of humilities. Uh, wants to learn, wants to improve, 432 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: and wants to please. So he on that Uh with that, 433 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 1: he is, Uh he's a great teammate and that that 434 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 1: locker rooms going to uh, gain from having a guy 435 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: like Trey in there and uh um again just looking 436 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: forward and excited about his process. Yeah, character counts. And 437 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 1: that's my next question. What kind of guy are we 438 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: getting off the field coach? What's trade like off the field? 439 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: H first thing you guys are going to notice about him, 440 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: You put a microphone or a camera in his face, 441 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: and he's doing light up the room with that smile. 442 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 1: And that's good good news, absolutely, and and that's uh um, 443 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 1: that's what we got here.

Uh didn't let that 447 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: become a distraction in any way and went about his business. 448 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,199 Speaker 1: But uh, you're gonna get a guy that uh um 449 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: has zero off the field issues.
