Bucky here moved the Sticks 3 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: on a on a Thursday. Here, Bucky's in studio. I am, 4 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 1: I'm on vacation, so I'm I'm down by the beach, Bucky. 5 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 1: In fact, you can see me. Actually you see a 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,079 Speaker 1: silhouette of me with the palm trees in the beach 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,120 Speaker 1: behind me here. But how you doing, man? Man, I'm good. 8 00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: How's everything with you? Everything's good. I'm I'm super pumped 9 00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: for today. It's gonna be kind of a quick episode, 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: but we wanted to bring on our good buddy Bruce Feldman, 11 00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 1: who uh, you know, we've seen it with with players 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: before when free agency hits, you know, free agency hits 13 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: at midnight and when you hear the deals that come 14 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: down at twelbo one. Bruces is still gonna do his 15 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 1: TV at Fox. But then they made some changes over 16 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: it on Fox Digital and getting rid of the writing. 17 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: So Bruce was a free agent for I don't know, 18 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 1: maybe nine seconds before Sports Illustrated the scooped him up 19 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: and the and the one of the first things he 20 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: wrote for S I was his Freaks article, which is 21 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: something we talk about every year buck something we always 22 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: look forward to. Yeah, we always look forward to it 23 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: because he's able to get uh some intell and information 24 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,000 Speaker 1: that scouts absolutely love to be able to talk to 25 00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 1: the strength coaches and the guys around the program, uh 26 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 1: to get some insight on how these guys are as athletes, 27 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: how explosive they are, the things that they can do 28 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: beyond playing on the field. That's invaluable and information and 29 00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: it kind of helps shape some of those opinions when 30 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: we get closer to the draft on what I got 31 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: potentially could be as a pro because you know more 32 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: about what their overall athleticism and explosives can be. And 33 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: so Bruce expanded it this year. I believe this is 34 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: the most guys ever done. Ittd forty guys on his 35 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: on his Freaks list, and these are college football players 36 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: that have uh exceptional, uh freakish qualities, really looking at 37 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: the heighth weave speed, different testing, things that they've done, 38 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 1: uh in the strength program. And he's kind of compiled 39 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: this list and last year I've I heard somebody talking 40 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: about it about last year's list. I think something like 41 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: seven of the top ten players were drafted in the 42 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: first forty or fifty picks or something. I want to say. 43 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: He had Hassan Reddick on on their last year, who 44 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: before he became a household name. So Bruce has been 45 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: out front of a lot of these guys. Yeah, he 46 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: absolutely has. And I think, um, you know, like being 47 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: on the road when you have an opportunity to go 48 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: and not only watch the tape, but you talked to coaches. 49 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes they can kind of take you to the water 50 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 1: underrated guy that may not have put up the production 51 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: on the field, but he's kind of rating to bubble 52 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: up just because they see the athletic traces, they see 53 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,920 Speaker 1: the explosivest every day in workouts. He just needs a shot. 54 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: And so Bruce does a great job of bringing those 55 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: guys to the surface. So I'm excited to talk to 56 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: him about the guys on this list. Yeah, we'll get 57 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: Bruce here. We're tracking him down. He is, Uh he's 58 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: coming back from SEC media day, so he's actually gonna 59 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 1: catch him in the airport, I believe in Charlotte, Um, 60 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 1: while he's waiting to get on a plane there. But uh, 61 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: so we'll catch up with him. Bucket. We got another 62 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: episode we're gonna do next week, Um, just one episode 63 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,959 Speaker 1: next week. We're both kind of gonna be out and 64 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: about before everything really cranks up in earnest here with 65 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: training camps. So next week we're gonna look at uh 66 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: uh the non playoff teams. I thought we'd have some 67 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: fun have a draft on those non playoff teams, just 68 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: which ones we like going too this upcoming season kind 69 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,079 Speaker 1: of breakout teams and teams gonna rebound maybe from a 70 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: down year. I mean that should be exciting because what 71 00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: we do know is on average, their five new playoff 72 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: teams every year, and so some of those teams that 73 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: were also rans last year were certainly emerged as contenders. 74 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 1: We saw the Atlanta Falcons do that and become one 75 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: of the heavyweights in the NFC, made their way to 76 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty one, and really we're in a position 77 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: to win, and so which teams are on their friends 78 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: that we see uh making a major move this season? 79 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: All right, Bucky, what we've got him? Now? Very busy 80 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: man coming back from SEC media days are good. Buddy, 81 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,560 Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman joins us. Now, Bruce, first of all, before 82 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: we get to your freaks list, which we've been talking 83 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 1: about a little bit here. What was your take away 84 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: from SEC media day? Uh, it was a circus, you know, 85 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: as it usually is. This year, there was a little 86 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: bit of a curve ball and then where you had 87 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: Houston nuts Iland a lawsuit against old myth and you freeze, 88 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: which you know, made it a little more drama, a 89 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: little more intrigue. And as they say in this you know, 90 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: they have to like to say, it just means more. 91 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: Just in this case, it just means more drama. So 92 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's good just to see a 93 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,719 Speaker 1: lot of the players, you know, you get to see 94 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: him how they handle you know, a lot of you 95 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: know this situation, spent a bunch of time around Christian Kirk. 96 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: He was very very impressive, you know, and and you 97 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: know they're not The question obviously in this league is 98 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: just who are the good quarterbacks? You got a bunch 99 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 1: of young ones who are promising, But right now that's 100 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 1: the big that's the big unknown. What's the big name, Bruce, 101 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,119 Speaker 1: what's the big name we're not talking about right now 102 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 1: in that conference that that you got a hunch just 103 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: talking to all your buddies in that league, that it's 104 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: going to become a household name this year, you know, 105 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: and Darius guys broke out last year. You know, everybody 106 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 1: obviously talked about Leonard's Fournett because he was, you know, 107 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: the huge recruit who who had all the hype and 108 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: and guys ended up leading the SEC and Russian even 109 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 1: though you know, I started half the games. I think 110 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 1: when you look at at some of the skill guys 111 00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: they have. I mean, you know, I mentioned Christian Turnkey's 112 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: special I think the question that the guy who has 113 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: a little bit of buzz here in the conference, and 114 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: again I don't I don't want to say he's gonna 115 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: be like you know, Sam Donald or Josh Rosen or 116 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,679 Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph. But Jake Bentley is a quarterback at South Calta. 117 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: A lot of people really like very underrated. You know, 118 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: a lot of people hyped up Jacob Ethan who's the 119 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: same class, was a much bigger kid for Washington State 120 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 1: who started for Georgia last year. Jacobson has a big arm, 121 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: but there's questions about his accuracy. I'm not sure right now. 122 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: I get a lot of people would probably take Jake 123 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: Bentley over Jacob Eason. So keep an eye on him. 124 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't Again, I don't want to say 125 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: he's gonna be household name, but there's kind of a 126 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: sleeper pick and a really muddled that sec East. You know, 127 00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: Bruce and talking about quarterbacks and you mentioned so many 128 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: of the young ones. Uh, the guy that kind of 129 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: fascinates me just coming from the elite eleven background experiences. 130 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 1: Shaye Patterson at Old Miss what do you think about 131 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: him and what potentially he could accomplish down a Oxman. Yeah, 132 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: you know, he's in a news system where it's a 133 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: version of the air raid. When you know a disciple 134 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:21,600 Speaker 1: of Mike Leaches who is at sam Houston State the 135 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: long Ago is is a gamble Freeze hired him, so 136 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 1: they're going to throw it around a ton. As you mentioned, say, 137 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 1: is a really quick release. He's not that big, but 138 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 1: I could see him putting up huge numbers because they 139 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 1: do have talent that receives. So that's another one to 140 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: keep an eye on. That's a good pick. Hey, Bruce, 141 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: we're we're cracked open your top forty list, something we 142 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: love doing here on the Freaks. By the way, is 143 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: this the most guys you've put on there? Before this year, 144 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: it was Yeah, it was hard to you know, it's 145 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: always been hard to keep it to twenty or twenty five. 146 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: And to be honest, I could have done twenty five 147 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: defensive linemen. There are so many freaky guys out there 148 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: now all the list I'm looking at, I want to 149 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: get to one defensive linement because it's a guy I 150 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 1: know Bucky's very familiar with. Here, Uh, Dexter Lawrence number 151 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: two on your list from Clemson. What we're able to 152 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: dig up on this young guy? I mean, what's what's 153 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: crazy about him is he's three hundred thirty five pounds. 154 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: You know, he runs four nine flat. His his ten 155 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: yards split as something you'd expect for a guy two fifty. Uh. 156 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: Character Wise, everybody raves about him. I mean I think 157 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: he is and I've heard this from multiple people. I 158 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,680 Speaker 1: would if I had to make a guest, who's gonna 159 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: be the first pick in the two thousand nineteen draft, 160 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm saying Dexter Lawrence. I mean Dexter is Obviously it 161 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: comes close to home. He played a way for us. 162 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: He played in my dad in high school. But you 163 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: talked about a freaking nature in terms of his athleticism 164 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,520 Speaker 1: and ability. He was a guy that was a really 165 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: really good basketball player as a teenager, and he can 166 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: do anything that you want to see him do. I 167 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: just think it's amazing that he's been able to kind 168 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: of jump in right away and have success. And the 169 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: old d line coach for Clemson, Uh, Dan Brooks was 170 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: one of the coaches at North Carolina when I was there, 171 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 1: and he just talked about a guy being ready to 172 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:13,360 Speaker 1: go from day one. Dexter certainly has all of the buildings. Bruce, 173 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: I wanna want to get to the guy on your 174 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,120 Speaker 1: on the top of your list here real quick, se 175 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley. I know you've got a plane the catch. 176 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: We want to keep it too long here, but se 177 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley a guy that I had a chance of 178 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: seeing that Rose Bowl game and that yeah, not too bad. 179 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: What was your takeaway on him? Would you learn? You know, 180 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: I spent some time with him this spring. I mean 181 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 1: he's a two hundred thirty almost. He looks like he's 182 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: like two ten. He's got a big lower body power 183 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 1: cleans at the school record there at four oh five 184 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 1: a few weeks back. Uh, there's you know, this is 185 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: the guy where it's almost like he's too good to 186 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: be true. You know, you know you saw him. You 187 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: guys saw him in person before characterized. Uh. Those coaches 188 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:56,720 Speaker 1: love him. They talk about how selfless he is. When 189 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: I talked to him, he talked about the little detail things. 190 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: What do you what are you? What do you think 191 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: you need to get better at? The two good things 192 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,439 Speaker 1: he told me, and keeping working. I gotta keep working 193 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 1: on paths walking, And the other thing I gotta really 194 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: do is I want to finish off my runs. And 195 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 1: I'm like Block, I had all these big runs and 196 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: he's as pretty you know, it's a four three three 197 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: guy that's a big time to men. And he said, 198 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: it's just you know, go depad And that's the stuff 199 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 1: I'm consumed by. So and they I think they have 200 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,079 Speaker 1: arguably the most entertaining offense in my country with Joe 201 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,719 Speaker 1: Morton and the offense coordinator and trade me sorely is 202 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: a that RBO heavy system and they kill people that 203 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 1: this whip blows zone that you know, he the e 204 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 1: the hammer within and because he is so explosive, and 205 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:49,599 Speaker 1: you know, I could have had anyone who said, the 206 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: guys my number one guy. But the more I know, 207 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: the more I saw the case, this is this is 208 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: this good option and and I think he's gonna have 209 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: a huge year. I think give a shot at the Islan. 210 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: I don't know if they're good enough on defense to 211 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: make a lot of the playoffs. But he's he's special 212 00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 1: and I can do a lot of people think he 213 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 1: could get top five. Thing. You know, I can't let 214 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 1: you go because you also hit Derwin James up there, 215 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: and DJ and I both had a chance to see 216 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 1: him at the opening end. When you look at him, 217 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,719 Speaker 1: he looks like, I mean, how you exactly want him 218 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 1: to look from Florida State in terms of just his 219 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: body building, his prototypical dimensions. What did you find out 220 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: when you start digging around about Derwin James at Florida State? Yeah, 221 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: you know, I think they played at eleven if you 222 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,440 Speaker 1: know a year before got hurt. When I talking two, 223 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 1: he's a forty one in vertical. He is a four 224 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: ns or fifty pounds venture. He needs everything, and they 225 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: can deploy him all over the field, slot corner, outside linebacker. Well, 226 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 1: let him rush the past obviously, play places in the 227 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 1: middle of the field. I had one coach last year 228 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 1: New Sean new Sean Taylor really really well, and he said, 229 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: it's the blosest thing I've seen in college football. To 230 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,439 Speaker 1: Sean Taylor, the meaning better sailor. But you just don't 231 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:09,719 Speaker 1: see guys that size you can do what he can 232 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: do on defense. And you know, I mean, I don't know, 233 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: you know, like you see some guys, you know, Julio 234 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 1: Jones and you know, and that was this kid would 235 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: be a big decided Hey, we're gonna let him play 236 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,680 Speaker 1: multi back all. I can't wait to see what he 237 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: does week one against Alabama, you know, I mean, that's me. 238 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: That's a chance for him to get some Heisman attection. 239 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: May be the best player as college football. Yeah, he 240 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: definitely earned the title. Freak saw him run around up 241 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 1: there at the at the opening. That doesn't look like 242 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: a safety. I told Bucky, I feel like a power 243 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: forward around up there. But now he is an impressive dude. Hey, Bruce, 244 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: we don't want you to miss your flight. Man.
