Speaker 1: tell you that, the first time I've seen him at
Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. There was a picture of him in
Speaker 1: the gym in the weight room in college that went
Speaker 1: viral that when I saw it, I said, no where,
Speaker 1: There's no way in hell that this guy looks like
Speaker 1: this impertinent in person. I thought it was photoshopped. I've
Speaker 1: never seen a human being, let alone a wide receiver
Speaker 1: that was just big and ripped up and this in
Speaker 1: shape that I just I thought it was photoshops. You
Speaker 1: couldn't tell me, you know, DK Metcalf, He's uh one
Speaker 1: of the most exciting young players in the National Football League,
Speaker 1: not just wide receivers, I mean of all players and
Speaker 1: uh just just hell of a player to watch, you know,
Speaker 1: a hell of a competitor. Um you know, came to
Speaker 1: an organization and got a chance to compete early on.
Speaker 1: So this is gonna be fun for me. One of
Speaker 1: my favorite guys to watch the NFL DK Metcalf young fella.
Speaker 1: Uh my dog? What up? What up with you? How
Speaker 1: you've been man? I've been good, dude. How are you

Speaker 1: But my marketings with w me oh wm me correct?
Speaker 1: So what what side? What side did you sign with?
Speaker 1: C A? Was it on the football side or the
Speaker 1: it was on football side? Yes, sir? Who who do you?
Speaker 1: Who do you sign with over there? Okay? Yeah? I
Speaker 1: was with uh, I was with Tom Condon man for
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah you know Tom, Tom gonna get you
Speaker 1: that bread now exactly already know they all worked together, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know him, all the guys over there. So what
Speaker 1: what on the marketing side. You know it's crazy because um,
Speaker 1: you know when I came into the league, man, like
Speaker 1: you know, I had the whole lights out thing and
Speaker 1: I wanted to do TV. What like prompted you too,
Speaker 1: like really lean on that marketing side, get a marketing AGC.
Speaker 1: You've got some stuff do you want to do coming up? Yes, sir. Um.
Speaker 1: What really pumped me was just getting my name out there. Um,
Speaker 1: because I know, I mean a lot of people I'm
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm different, um, and I just you know,
Speaker 1: like to show how different I am. So I think
Speaker 1: I got a pretty pretty cool personality. Uh that people
Speaker 1: can uh you know that people like so just putting
Speaker 1: that out there and showing that the different brands and
Speaker 1: just just show them not just a football player. I
Speaker 1: can I can work, um, you know in Hollywood one
Speaker 1: day or uh you know, be behind the camera. Um.
Speaker 1: And I'm not you know, smarter than him with bigger
Speaker 1: than the show the past basically right now. You know
Speaker 1: what that's important to because um, you know, I tell
Speaker 1: a lot of cats and I was doing TV while
Speaker 1: I played too. Um back way back before your time,
Speaker 1: I was doing like Mad TV. I was on the
Speaker 1: I did the episode Entourage, uh, the Mendy Project, which
Speaker 1: is a big show at the time on Fox, and
Speaker 1: so I was doing a bunch of stuff and I
Speaker 1: think that sometimes, like like, as football players, obviously that's
Speaker 1: number one, that's your job and that's what you're gonna do,
Speaker 1: but you have to start to prepare to kind of
Speaker 1: at some point have something away from the game, like
Speaker 1: I was. I was always a woman like I wasn't.
Speaker 1: I can't go work out, play football practice and go
Speaker 1: home like that just that could be my day. So
Speaker 1: what what? What? What is your plans matter? You want
Speaker 1: to get more into uh like the film side is
Speaker 1: in music or you know what? I really want my
Speaker 1: hand in every pod everybody. Um yeah, I got a
Speaker 1: few songs out on Apple Music. Hold on, hold on,
Speaker 1: hold on what ye what you You never promoted that,
Speaker 1: I've never seen it. I mean yeah, it was kind
Speaker 1: of during the season. So I didn't want, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody to say, oh, he's not focused on football or
Speaker 1: not focused during the season. But I mean that was
Speaker 1: just that's something that gets me away from football. Um.
Speaker 1: You know is music? Um so um. I featured on
Speaker 1: two songs with my guy uh from Seattle. His name
Speaker 1: is Kinko. He's been rapping for a minute. So, um,
Speaker 1: I trained with him during quarantine and found out that
Speaker 1: he was a rapper, and I was like, oh man,
Speaker 1: I'm trying to trying to do the same thing. So
Speaker 1: we just kind of linked in uh in the studio
Speaker 1: and and made two songs um uh emmett till I'm
Speaker 1: trying to uh you know, get my hand in the
Speaker 1: documentary that he's going in as well. So that I
Speaker 1: want to ask you about because I see a lot
Speaker 1: of that posting on your stories and you're always talking
Speaker 1: about it and some of the injustices that were done. Then, Um,
Speaker 1: what what made you like kind of be a step
Speaker 1: on the forefront? Um being from Mississippi and uh you
Speaker 1: know he got killed in Mississippi and just showing people
Speaker 1: that uh, you know, this is George Floyd is nothing
Speaker 1: new in my eyes, Um, this has been going on
Speaker 1: for fifty sixty years plus. Um, So just opening up
Speaker 1: people's eyes that this is not you know, a new event,
Speaker 1: it's a reoccurring event. Um. And just educating people on
Speaker 1: black history and you know something that gets pushed under
Speaker 1: the rug sometimes it's in matil. So just you know,
Speaker 1: sharing this story. Do you ever get any pushed back,
Speaker 1: like the people be up in the d m s
Speaker 1: and saying stuff to you because of of of some
Speaker 1: of the things you're posting on the h No, not really.
Speaker 1: I really get a lot of positive, positive things like
Speaker 1: I didn't know this, please keep sharing, um you know
Speaker 1: his information, I didn't know his story, didn't know who
Speaker 1: he was. So I mean, I've I've been getting a
Speaker 1: lot of you know, positive feedback. And how far you say,
Speaker 1: you're talking about the documentary? What's uh what what's what's
Speaker 1: gonna happen with that? Uh? They're making a document mtel
Speaker 1: documentary movie um right now and uh, you know, just
Speaker 1: trying to trying to uh you know, promote that or
Speaker 1: or get my hand in the pot. And that's some
Speaker 1: some way shape for them fast. Okay, so you're stepping out,
Speaker 1: are you getting some uh producer directed credits? And you
Speaker 1: know what we're talking? I don't know that. I can't
Speaker 1: I can't say nothing right now, but it's it's it's
Speaker 1: gonna be something on the loans of those lines that
Speaker 1: that's cool man, because I always seen you and I
Speaker 1: take it back to when you got drafted and now
Speaker 1: I'll take it back because I watched you playing college,
Speaker 1: but I really I didn't know because everybody looked big
Speaker 1: with padgs on, like everybody look you know, like I
Speaker 1: do big, Man do big. But I've seen you at
Speaker 1: the at the draft for the first time, and you're
Speaker 1: the first time I looked at you, your back was turned.
Speaker 1: I was like, man, that's a d n over there.
Speaker 1: That's the first event. And I didn't know because I
Speaker 1: didn't see your face. And so that was like the
Speaker 1: first time I was like, man, and this dude is
Speaker 1: a is a freakish player. When I called my late
Speaker 1: I was like in Layton High School, when did when
Speaker 1: did all that start coming around? You start getting serious
Speaker 1: about the ways you started to getting serious about you know,
Speaker 1: your side, strength and all that. Right, I tell people
Speaker 1: all the time, like a couple of days ago, that
Speaker 1: was like you've always been big. I was my freshman
Speaker 1: yeards five eleven five my freshman year of college. Hold
Speaker 1: on you and what in high school? I was five
Speaker 1: eleven five eighty five. I was that crazy um freshman
Speaker 1: year of college, I was six feet six one, two
Speaker 1: hundred pounds, and so I broke my foot in my
Speaker 1: freshman year of college, the third game of season, and
Speaker 1: so after that, I was in the weight room training
Speaker 1: twice a day, um, just in the morning and the
Speaker 1: afternoon while they were at practice. Um. It was it
Speaker 1: was a string coast that I was. I was real
Speaker 1: close with, real cool with. UM. You know, he put
Speaker 1: me in the weight room. I used to talk ship
Speaker 1: uh to him. Um. You know, just me in there
Speaker 1: by myself, UM, just putting in the work. Um. And
Speaker 1: next thing you know, I look up on two twenty
Speaker 1: six three, hit a little gross fur um and the
Speaker 1: rest is history. I ain't looked back. So yeah, so
Speaker 1: when you got when you got drafted, and I always
Speaker 1: I always try to figure this out, man like. And
Speaker 1: I know that these scouts that got a job to
Speaker 1: do and on some of the other ship or whatever.
Speaker 1: But I'm like, how in the hell did you pack
Speaker 1: that many teams pass up on it? Dude? Like that
Speaker 1: That's what I started go through my heads. Do you ever?
Speaker 1: Of course you don't think about as much now, but
Speaker 1: at some point, is I feel you that they did
Speaker 1: at one point? Yeah? It always, um, because I mean
Speaker 1: I look up and it's sixty three players that people
Speaker 1: think are better than me. Um. So I mean I
Speaker 1: just got to go out there and just you know,
Speaker 1: continue to just believe in myself and put in the working.
Speaker 1: Um you know not, I don't. I don't believe in
Speaker 1: showing people. I believe in just you know, doing me
Speaker 1: and people gonna see for themselves. Uh you know why
Speaker 1: they should have passed with. So you start out, you
Speaker 1: start off fast. I mean you're already on the map.
Speaker 1: It is earlier in your career. And one thing I
Speaker 1: noticed now my my rookie year when I went to
Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl and you know have all Pro and
Speaker 1: accolades and defensive Rookie and all this other stuff, Like
Speaker 1: I really really got on the map. So at that point,
Speaker 1: teams was at at a kind of targeting, right they
Speaker 1: came to the game and instead of them just knowing
Speaker 1: about the game planning, uh you know the game planning.
Speaker 1: So have you what have you seen from the start
Speaker 1: of people just you know, seeing your the crazy pictures
Speaker 1: that went viral where you stand in a way, because
Speaker 1: when I seen that, I was like, somebody photoshop this ship.
Speaker 1: When I seen it, I said, this is one photoshop.
Speaker 1: Ain't no way. You know why receiving that big how
Speaker 1: has it changed from you kind of being on the
Speaker 1: map and what some people knowing about you now the
Speaker 1: game planning for you, right. I mean it's crazy because
Speaker 1: I used to think that in my rookie year. Um.
Speaker 1: So we're playing the forty niners and um, I obviously
Speaker 1: walk into the room, was like you gotta you know,
Speaker 1: you know they hit the key players. You know who
Speaker 1: their time players are. Um and Nick Boson, who was
Speaker 1: another rookie that was like this kid specially, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be special. So I'm thinking in my mind, like the
Speaker 1: forty nine game playing against me, Like are they saying
Speaker 1: I gotta watch out for DK? You gotta watch out
Speaker 1: for DK. So that just made me work even harder
Speaker 1: because it's I'm I'm in my mind. I'm always trying
Speaker 1: to find something to doubt my cell phone so I
Speaker 1: can work even harder just to prove some people wrong. Um.
Speaker 1: So I mean I just went back to work, went
Speaker 1: back to studying film. Um. And now that people are
Speaker 1: rolling the safety to my side, are going too high
Speaker 1: to take care of me and Tyler to make us
Speaker 1: run the ball. I mean, it's crazy, but you know
Speaker 1: you always gotta find a way to defeat it. I
Speaker 1: don't care if two people going me still throw still
Speaker 1: throw the ball up. I still want to go get it.
Speaker 1: What's gonna happen now at this point? And then I
Speaker 1: kind of just watched kind of how you came into
Speaker 1: the league and where you at now with it, Um,
Speaker 1: and it's it's funny. I don't even tell you this.
Speaker 1: It was a cornerback who just told like a three
Speaker 1: or four minute story about how y'all was going on.
Speaker 1: It was it? Who was it was? I know he
Speaker 1: played for Yeah, yeah, yeah, And so did that really
Speaker 1: happen when y'all were going back and forth like that?
Speaker 1: Because he said something, dude, he said some ship that
Speaker 1: I was laughing my ass off. I was dying because
Speaker 1: I told the truth with everything that he said that
Speaker 1: that's really how it went down. So you were talking
Speaker 1: back to him like that too, Yeah, because UM, tell
Speaker 1: me what happened? All right? So before the game, you
Speaker 1: know how both teams on the field warming up, right,
Speaker 1: So we went in before them, Um and the receivers
Speaker 1: we just walked back. Everybody else jog. Then we're just
Speaker 1: walking back, you know, just talking. Um and Brandon Graham
Speaker 1: actually looked to the receivers and it was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we're about to lock y'all, Dawn, We're about to lock y'all.
Speaker 1: Just talking ship. So I'm thinking like, all right, and
Speaker 1: so I've seen darre you slay behind him laughing, so
Speaker 1: I'm thinking like, all right, so you having it your
Speaker 1: home with egging on. So um. I was like, all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: I got you. I got your number. So m the
Speaker 1: first player of the game. I blocked him mar I
Speaker 1: was like shoving him and he was like, damn, Like
Speaker 1: what's up? I said, now your homebody got you? Let
Speaker 1: up Brandy Graham. And so from that point on he
Speaker 1: was like, oh no, I ain't a little boy. I
Speaker 1: was like, all right, I will show you a little boy.
Speaker 1: And then that's when we got chippy. And from that point, oh,
Speaker 1: I was just I was just in his I was mad.
Speaker 1: The reason why I love that because you know, obviously
Speaker 1: playing the defense out of the ball, you get you
Speaker 1: get some of these cats like yourself man, almost of
Speaker 1: the sense like a defensive guy mentality. You know, you're
Speaker 1: not for this out there. So when you're all going
Speaker 1: back and forth, and he told that stories, I didn't
Speaker 1: know if he was if he was, you know, putting
Speaker 1: hands on two. I didn't know if he was kind
Speaker 1: of hyping it up or did that really happen? Uh?
Speaker 1: He was. That's that's really I have. He did not
Speaker 1: lie about nothing in that story. Y'all cool? Did y'all
Speaker 1: were talking after that? Y'all cool now? Because our safety
Speaker 1: Qundred Digs used to play with him in Detroit. They
Speaker 1: played with each other for like five years. Um, so
Speaker 1: yeah we were cool. Um. But on the field, like
Speaker 1: it's business. Yeah. So I know Pete Carroll always get
Speaker 1: behind like his guy like Marshawn and anybody, like when
Speaker 1: they had the whole legion of a boom there. He's
Speaker 1: always behind personalities and like kind of let you guys
Speaker 1: be who you are if y'all had that relationship so far.
Speaker 1: That's one thing I love about Pete man, he just
Speaker 1: from day one, he just let me be me like
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm not going to back down from nothing. Uh.
Speaker 1: First day of training camp, a dB, I mean a
Speaker 1: linebacker was talking stuff to me and so I got
Speaker 1: up in his face. I was like, don't don't ever
Speaker 1: talk to me like that. MC grown as man and
Speaker 1: then you know, we got into a little scuffle. But
Speaker 1: from that point on, like I had to set the
Speaker 1: tone like I'm not I'm not here to play. I'm
Speaker 1: not about to act like no rookie. I'm a I'm
Speaker 1: a grown man, like I said, so y'all better treat
Speaker 1: me like one, right. And that's one thing I always
Speaker 1: loved about Pete because you know, everybody come in and
Speaker 1: I and I look back on the game now because
Speaker 1: Maye is I'm Maya is old. I'm done. But I
Speaker 1: look at the personalities and the cast that was in there,
Speaker 1: and you got some dudes just like from this place
Speaker 1: or some guys from that place. But man, it's when
Speaker 1: you got that many personalities and then the coach and
Speaker 1: the organization is letting you be who you are. That's
Speaker 1: how you win a lot of football games. Man, it's
Speaker 1: easy to go to work every day. How does that
Speaker 1: work with Rus? Because Russ is and I used this
Speaker 1: example and even though Philip Rivers was like he never
Speaker 1: cursed and all that other stuff, but he was always
Speaker 1: the good guy. And Russ always comes across as like
Speaker 1: Mr clean, I don't do anything. And you know, is
Speaker 1: he like that all the time too, or just like
Speaker 1: that when the cameras come on. So what you see
Speaker 1: is what you get. I'm telling you from game day
Speaker 1: always to Monday and prep meetings uh to tuesdays and
Speaker 1: the players mean he's he's real about his business and
Speaker 1: very motivational. Um, that's that's that's just Russ. What was
Speaker 1: your what was your first impression? Like when you came
Speaker 1: in and y'all met man, which is y'all kind of
Speaker 1: click early on. Um, we're both in a lot by ourselves,
Speaker 1: and he told me to come over and sit beside
Speaker 1: of me. He was like, Um, he told me, if
Speaker 1: you want to be great, you can't take everybody with you.
Speaker 1: Everybody's not gonna be on have the same mindset as you.
Speaker 1: Everybody's not gonna be on the same grind as you.
Speaker 1: You gotta separate yourself daily. And from that point on
Speaker 1: I had to show him like, I'm I'm trying to
Speaker 1: be in the Hall of Fame one day. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to help you achieve your goals, and you gotta help
Speaker 1: me achieve mind So let's go together. He he, Um,
Speaker 1: I mean obviously playing against me, I know the competitor
Speaker 1: and stuff. He is not. When I sit back and
Speaker 1: I see some of the things that said now, like
Speaker 1: to even me. This is me. This is my opinion.
Speaker 1: I don't you know care what everybody said, ever read
Speaker 1: or whatever. When you're talking about him possibly going to
Speaker 1: another team because there's been talking to him, possibly go
Speaker 1: watch another team, I'm like, man, y'all know what how
Speaker 1: much this dude has done? You get what I mean,
Speaker 1: like what he's built in that organization. How when you
Speaker 1: saw that that same stuff? Man, what did you feel
Speaker 1: about it? Um? I mean I in my mind, I'd
Speaker 1: never get in another man's business, right, So yeah, so
Speaker 1: I just took a step back, and you know whatever
Speaker 1: they got going, uh, you know, they got going with
Speaker 1: the talks inside the organization between him. Uh, he's still
Speaker 1: my brother, still talked to him about his day to
Speaker 1: to today. But yeah, I mean that's between now. I
Speaker 1: stay out there that stuff. No, I I gotta you
Speaker 1: know you've been uh that that politic right now too.
Speaker 1: I feel I feel you ll uh no no. But
Speaker 1: for me, uh, you guys have opportunity, right, I mean
Speaker 1: being up there in that division. Um, you know obviously
Speaker 1: now you know Matthew Matthew Stafford is so you know,
Speaker 1: and me me personally, how I look at it. Always
Speaker 1: thought that Matthew Staff was underrated. You get what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: It was just watching him and now being in you
Speaker 1: guys conference that's already stacked. I mean you got Kylin Murray,
Speaker 1: you got, now you got Matthew Staff. You know now
Speaker 1: you know Russell Wilson you gotta deal with. So you
Speaker 1: know when whoever's going to be the quarterback for the
Speaker 1: forty nine is you guys? Man? In that division, it's
Speaker 1: it's a competition week and a week out, right, Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's it. I think it's the best division in football
Speaker 1: right now. Um. I mean you got the fort defensive line,
Speaker 1: Ramsey defensive line, and you got Jalen Ramsey and then
Speaker 1: you got the Cardinals defense, and plus they're explosive offense.
Speaker 1: I don't see a better a more stagnivision, uh you
Speaker 1: know than outs, No, for sure. And then that's one
Speaker 1: of those things you gotta it's really no week off
Speaker 1: because I remember when I was playing and I see
Speaker 1: the Raiders on this Raider. This was before Raiders was good.
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, there's two sacks and be I'm
Speaker 1: gonna get one here. Because you know, you always you
Speaker 1: always have a couple of games were either get no sacks.
Speaker 1: You know you don't you don't score no touchdown, but
Speaker 1: you're gonna, you know that two or three score touchdown coming.
Speaker 1: So when I used to see the Raiders, I'm like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: let me. I'm just gonna get two made three sacks
Speaker 1: and catch back up and so but honestly, man, that
Speaker 1: you got in your division, that's not the case. You
Speaker 1: you practically got a dog fight week and a week out.
Speaker 1: Eight games is gonna be competition again, down to the wire,
Speaker 1: hands down. You canna always have somebody right there in
Speaker 1: your face, whether it's somebody pressing the quarterback or you know,
Speaker 1: I got to get off a jam, or you know,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a high school and game. So I
Speaker 1: mean it's it's a it's a tough de gas, and
Speaker 1: I mean that's what I like. I like a competition.
Speaker 1: So what what's next for you, man? Because I mean
Speaker 1: a lot of people always say the whole sky's the
Speaker 1: limit ship or whatever, but to be quite honest, man,
Speaker 1: the sky is really the limit for you. And I
Speaker 1: was looking at your post and maybe it was a
Speaker 1: day a couple of days ago you're talking about I
Speaker 1: ain't made a hunter meal yet is there is there
Speaker 1: like something you got set in your mind. Like for me,
Speaker 1: I wanted a certain amount of sacks. I wanted to, um,
Speaker 1: you'll be looked at as the best in my position
Speaker 1: or whatever that case is, or you know, and I
Speaker 1: wanted that big I got injured, but you know I
Speaker 1: wanted that big deal. Also, what's what's next? Man in
Speaker 1: and your you know journey? Uh be my number from
Speaker 1: last year? Um. I know after the Philly game, I
Speaker 1: talked to Calvin Calvin Johnson, um because there was some
Speaker 1: comments made in the game about I don't want to
Speaker 1: be compared to Calvin Calvini's Calvin. I'm I'm detay, but um,
Speaker 1: I just had to talk to him me like, you know,
Speaker 1: I ain't come off like that. I look up to you,
Speaker 1: but I want to be the long person. And uh
Speaker 1: he was like, I want you to go break my
Speaker 1: record and so just so he said that, Yeah, he
Speaker 1: said that, Like he was like, uh, you know you're competitive. Um,
Speaker 1: you know I think you can break my record, So
Speaker 1: go breaking um and you know that's my name's goal
Speaker 1: is breaking his record. There it is, dude, there it
Speaker 1: is so well, Hey, what working people download that the music.
Speaker 1: As soon as we get off, I'm going right on
Speaker 1: there because I want to hear um if if it's
Speaker 1: some if it's some trash too, you know, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: hit you up like y'all you ain't putting out on
Speaker 1: the track. But y'all can download it on album music, Spotify,
Speaker 1: mees on some all platforms, yeah, one of these all seasons. Man,
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if you because you I
Speaker 1: think you talked about fighting before, right, yeah, I about
Speaker 1: little bit less. So what what made what made you
Speaker 1: pick that up? Uh? Just some new man, new cardio.
Speaker 1: I always tell a lot of dudes, man. And I
Speaker 1: started like during the after my first year in the
Speaker 1: all season, I was boxing first, and then I started
Speaker 1: doing a little more tied and I started doing a
Speaker 1: little m m A pumbling and rolling on the ground.
Speaker 1: And for one, it's a different training for your body
Speaker 1: because we get tired of doing the same ship. I
Speaker 1: mean we really do. We get tired of the same
Speaker 1: you know, same cone drills, the same ladder drills, the
Speaker 1: same you know all that. So for me, I just
Speaker 1: found it a way too. For one, because the ain't
Speaker 1: no cardio like that. You get that cardio. You can
Speaker 1: go four or five three or four minute rounds. That
Speaker 1: cardio is something different. But also to man with your
Speaker 1: with your hand eye coordination, you know, getting you know,
Speaker 1: those those cornerbacks is coming up and trying to jam
