1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Curious to find out what sort of pre draft meetings

2
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: or contact do you had with the Patriots, if any,

3
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: throughout the pre draft process.

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: I mean I was already close with Alonso Highsmith obviously

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,000
Speaker 2: since he was he was here on staff at UM,

6
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 2: so I was pretty close with him. I talked with

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 2: Jeremy Springer at the Combine and even at pro Day

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 2: and ever since pro Day. You know, we kept in contact.

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: And that's the pre draft. Uh, there's connections we had.

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: What sort of I guess, uh, curiosity do you have

11
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 1: about the New England area in terms of your work

12
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 1: as a kicker. I know that some cold weather guys

13
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: don't necessarily do well in warm weather. Warm weather guys

14
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: don't necessarily do well in cold weather. How do you

15
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: feel about kicking in those kind of conditions?

16
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm excited. I mean all my life. I

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 2: mean I looked up to Adam VINTERI you know legend honestly,

18
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: and especially you know all those kicks in the snow

19
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: and clutch kicks in the snow. Actually, and you know,

20
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: I can't I can't wait to experience that. I know

21
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: a lot of people, you know, thought that obviously, being

22
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: from Miami, I can't you know, handle the cold, but

23
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 2: I think I can prove people wrong about that.

24
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you.

25
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: And next question Alex both Hey and he congratulations, so

26
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 3: he kind of just answered it out of minto Terry.

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 3: Stephen Gostowski nick full long history of Kickers having success

28
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 3: in New England. I'm just curious how familiar you are

29
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 3: with the history the position with the Patriots.

30
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 2: I mean, I generally, I mean I feel like, you know,

31
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: Patriots have honestly a good line of legendary kickers. I

32
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: mean you name three of them, and you know, I'm

33
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: excited to, you know, hopefully one day be part of

34
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:59,040

Speaker 2: may like, you know, add an extra a. So I'd

43
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: just like to, you know, simplify a little bit and

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: just say Andy. A lot of people called me that

45
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 2: growing up and I just kept it.

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: Okay, cool, Well, welcome to New England. Andy.

47
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 5: I'm I'm curious just you're.

48
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: Going intoto a situation.

49
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 4: Now where there's one vet on the roster right now

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 4: that hasn't been here very long. So looks like it's

51
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: going to be a kicker competition in training camp between

52
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 4: between you and John Parker Romo. Just your thoughts going

53
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 4: in on that, You're not in your head?

54
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 5: Do you know him?

55
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: Like, yeah, I mean he went to Virginia Tech. I

56
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 2: played on my my freshman year. We we trained with

57
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: the same coach, Adamton, So you know, I'm good friends

58
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 2: with him. I'm excited, you know, get in there and

59
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 2: we'll compete, you know, make the best man win. But

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: at the end of the day, you know that's that's

61
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:10,679
Speaker 2: still my guy.

62
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 3: Next question, Mike Grease, thanks.

63
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 5: For taking the time.

64
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 6: The there's only so many teams that I guess you'd

65
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 6: say need a kicker, right, So it makes your situation

66
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,359
Speaker 6: a little unique, like where the Patriots sort of won

67
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,800
Speaker 6: you you had circled or was there another team that

68
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 6: maybe you thought you was more likely I.

69
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: Had a couple of teams. I guess it's not really circled,

70
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: but kind of like all right, looking forward to Patriots

71
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 2: were definitely number one on that on that train and

72
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 2: obviously here we are, and I'm excited. You know, I

73
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: have a great relationship with with coach Springer, and you know,

74
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 2: I mean we it kind of just clicked when we

75
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: first met, so I kind of I had a feeling

76
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 2: and I'm glad I'm a Patriot.

77
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 5: And next question, Taylor Kyles Andy, welcome to New England

78
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 5: and congratulations on getting drafted. Thank you so much. With

79
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 5: kicker being such a mental position, I'm curious how do

80
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 5: you stay locked in because you know, you've battled the

81
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 5: times in your career and then you've gone on and

82
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 5: have some crazy streaks. So what allowed you to really

83
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 5: stay dialed in and be able to bounce back in

84
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 5: some tough situations.

85
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: I mean, really, it just comes comes down to just

86
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: I guess you could say like short term memory. You know,

87
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 2: just if you miss one, okay, so be it onto

88
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 2: the next and you know, just continue that streak even

89
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: if you you know, game winning kick, celebrate for the

90
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: you know, for a time, because you can't. You know,

91
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: you got to enjoy the good times too, but you know,

92
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: like the very next day, like all right now, it's

93
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 2: time to get back to work because you never know

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 2: what comes in the future. And as a kicker. I mean,

95
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 2: I like to think I had this saying, and I

96
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 2: mean still have it. But it's one shot, one kill mentality.

97
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: It's really you know, you get one shot just to

98
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: make a field goal.

99
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 5: So that's awesome. Thank you man.

100
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 3: All Right, Andy, that's all the questions we have for
