Speaker 3: and not too many people get a fourth chance.

34
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: And uh, I just go by that like that, you know,

35
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: for you know, you.

36
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 3: Can mean it means so much to me because you

37
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: you know, like you get three stripes, you out, you know,

38
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 3: all right, let's how about that one more stripe?

39
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: That fourth? Is you?

40
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 3: Is you gonna make up for that like you're gonna do?

41
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 3: Like I just feel like I'm before. It can mean

42
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: so much. And I always had the number since I

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: was in rec league, so I always just I rock

44
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: with it. You know, it means a lot to me

45
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: because like I was saying, you get three strikes, how

46
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 3: about you have a warm heart and give somebody another strike?

47
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: And that's the fourth stripe, you know, And that's how

48
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 3: that's how I rock with for and I love it.

49
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,119
Speaker 2: In your Auburn career, you went through quite a bit

50
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: with the program in terms of just overcoming a lot

51
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: and not everything was easy for you at Auburn. What

52
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: did you learn from that and how will that help

53
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: you moving forward?

54
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: The things we went through at Auburn, I feel like

55
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: it made me a better man.

56
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 3: It made me a better person. It grew me as

57
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: an athlete, you know, just being around guys. You know,

58
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 3: we're trying to overcome adversity, overcome what we what we

59
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 3: was going through, but it's nothing. There's nothing too much

60
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 3: that we couldn't get over. So we got together and

61
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,639
Speaker 3: it taught me a lot about family. It taught me more.

62
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: I'm a family guy, but it taught me way more

63
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 3: about family. Teammates coming together to play a driven team,

64
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 3: and it's what it.

65
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: Did for me.

66
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: I feel like they'll do for the next level, you know,

67
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: just get me ready for adversity. You know a lot

68
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 3: of guys don't go to adversity and college everything be smooth.

69
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: We had a lot of bomps in our roles, and

70
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 3: I feel like one time, firstally coming the league, I

71
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 3: feel like I'd be easily overcome because all the adversity

72
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 3: that went through it all.

73
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: Now we live in a world of college sports where

74
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 2: guys can leave if they want. You stayed.

75
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: Why Because I'm a lawyer guy. You know.

76
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,080

Speaker 1: I beat every week and every weekend. So I want.

80
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 3: There was a time where I was finna leave, but

81
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 3: I had looked myself in there and said the grass

82
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: may not be greening on the other side.

83
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: So I just stayed down.

84
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 3: And I had told myself, we're gonna overcome this and

85

87
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,320

134
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 1: Quarterback, you know, just say said hi and run. That's

135
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: what I did.

Speaker 3: So those guys, we we all we all cleaned up

139
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 3: and we had made it to college and still working.

140
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,160

00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: of talent.

142
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,360
