You know. I took this year really serious, man. Sure, 75 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: you know, I studied filming, you know, out of my 76 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 1: playbook and I knew everything, so you know, I wanted 77 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: this season to be easy, so you know I worked 78 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: as hard as possible for that to happen. Kevon, We 79 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: hear so much about how Nick Staben prepares players for 80 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: the NFL. How prepared did you feel when you were 81 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: going through the interviews and all of that with Stavens 82 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: helped to getting to this point. I felt like I 83 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: felt more prepared than you know I felt coming in. 84 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: As I was going through it and going through the process, 85 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 1: it's like, Okay, I've been here before. I know what 86 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: they say. I know it could give. It's a lot 87 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: of things that we did at Alabama that you know, 88 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: carried over to help me doing it to that process 89 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: and going to combine and things like that, just building 90 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 1: that mental focus and you know, just locking in and focusing, 91 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 1: you know, just just talking to people and you know, 92 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: good and character and having you know, good character and 93 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: doing things like that. That all came from, you know, 94 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: getting a part of Alabama because you surrounded with a 95 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: bunch of good players. So you know, if you if 96 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: you if you're a bad player, you're gonna stick out 97 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: like a sort of thumbing. Not lessarily being a bad 98 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,159 Speaker 1: player on the field, just the things that you do 99 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 1: off the field, and just the things that you do 100 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 1: off the field and you know, making you a better 101 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: principal step on. One of the issues for this defense 102 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 1: and racing years has been the ability to create turnovers 103 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: and three interceptions last year, your final year at Alabama, 104 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: what do you say about your ability to be a 105 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: ball hawk to actually get your hands on the football 106 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: and create turnover defense one hundred percent. I feel like 107 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: that's where I'm best at. And you know that's something 108 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,839 Speaker 1: that I you know, try to work on their practices, 109 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: you know, catching them ball, getting in a sense and 110 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: getting turnovers. Uh. That's something that you know they valued 111 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: a lot of Alabama. So you know I made it, 112 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: you know. Uh for me, Uh, that's important, getting a 113 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: SEPs and getting my hands the ball, always being on 114 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: the ball. You know, I feel like, you know, that's 115 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: one of my strengths. And I can do that because 116 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: of me playing while receiving. Before I can attact the ball, 117 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: I can't go get the ball. Um. So it's like 118 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: you gotta while receiver that playing corner. That's really ball 119 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: hungry football. I don't want pass recas I want an inception. Well, 120 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: were on yours you can call with the Cowboys. Uh, 121 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 1: the fix six came up against Arkansaw to Jerry and 122 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: even mentioned that at all to you and again having 123 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: any little uh a little fun with that wander.
