1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: Welcome to New England. Michael, how are you? Thank you?

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: I'm good. A lot of Michigan Wolverines winding up on

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:09,119
Speaker 1: the Patriots roster all of a sudden, I believe you

4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: become the third players in this draft who has had

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: some connections to the University of Michigan. What do you

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: think it is about Michigan that makes players like yourself

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: so attractive to the Patriots of Bill Belichick? Um? I

8
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: think I think it goes in hand to hand with

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: the school in the football. Let me ask you are

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: come from good school, you know, one of the best

11
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: puts public schools and having some of the best coaches

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: that nus out there. You know, we're always being put

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: in good positions to see the offer two so they

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: we're you know, we're pro riding more so. I mean,

15
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 1: as you can see in our last year draft quads,

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: most of our guys are already contributing in the NFL.

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: And if I can follow it up, Michael, what is

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: it about the way you have been coached on the

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: off pensive line that, uhum makes you such a potentially

20
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: a song prospect in the league? Um? Something or am

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: I something that I went through at least I went

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: through two offenses, so I mean I'll have a background

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 1: of multiple schemes and plays that will be easier, you know,

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: to transition to at the next league, at the next time.

25
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you. Next question is Evan Lazarre Fall

26
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: by your own Tea High Michael, Congratulations, Thank you. I

27
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: was just curious, Um, I think you waited at three

28
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: forty five three forty four at the combine and I

29
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: was just wondering what you played at last season, and uh,

30
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: if you plan on kind of staying at that type

31
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: of weight. Um, last season, I've played around thirty sixty eight,

32
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 1: and UM, I'm I'm liking being lighter, so I'm in

33
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: anticipating I'm playing around you know, where the coaches acting

34
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: bees where I'll be in it and short words, Yeah,

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: I did you play any dinner. I know you've made

36
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: the card that both cards. I was wondering if you've

37
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: done any snapping or anything like that. Um, I haven't

38
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: played any center, but I've I've been snapping. Great. Thanks Michael,

39
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Thank you. Next question by even Current Welcome

40
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: to New England. Michael, thank you appreciate it. Are you welcome? Uh?

41
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: You know the fact that you've played in Michigan, you

42
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: obviously go against some major competition and some complex defenses.

43
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: But the question I have for you is in practice

44
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: going against Don Brown's defenses and his complexities. So do

45
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: you think that has prepared you even more so for

46
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: what you're going to see in the professional ranks? Yeah?

47
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: I think I think it's that me up greatly. I

48
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: mean going and practice the game, and like you said,

49
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: the offenses, it's like, you know, Don Brown, He's bringing

50
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: something different every week. So so it's deep enough and

51
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: me specifically, I'm on my toe just having me ready

52
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: for everything. Thanks Michael, thank you. Next question and I'll

53
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: ask anybody else if you want to ask the question

54
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: you hit five stars. Next question, Aidan Kerr, Hey, Michaelsen

55
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: got the gang selected. Um, I see you have experienced

56
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: plans both guarding spots. I'm wondering if you had conversations

57
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: with any of the teachers coaching staff in the pre

58
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 1: draft process about how they view you on the team

59
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: hanging the next season. Um, during the pre draft process,

60
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: it wasn't really any top of specific but you know,

61
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: I was telling myself in terms of plan any position

62
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: that's me to so whether that's tackle guard or sent

63
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: it great? Thanks, thank you. Um. Next question is ian

64
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: feel and this will be the last question and left

65
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: anybody hit five stars. Thanks so much. Welcome to New England, Michael.

66
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: Usually when we you know, get new offensive players, you know,

67
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: going to the team, we asked him about what it's

68
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: going to be like playing with Tom Brady or blocking

69
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: for Tom Brady. Obviously that's not the case this offseason,

70
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: but being a Michigan man, in the connection between Brady,

71
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: the Patriots and Michigan, I'm wondering if you would watch,

72
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, Brady from Afar and watch the Patriots from Afar,

73
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: if that added onto your feelings on draft day now

74
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: that you're coming to Newing. Uh yeah, definitely. I mean,

75
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: even you know, when he visited some of our games

76
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: maybe two years ago. I mean, it's always been the

77
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: nostalgic type of filing, you know, even watching the Patriots,

78
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: but let alone you know, seeing him, seeing he was

79
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: alumni and coming back. All right, I think that's all.

80
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, right, thank you, Thank
