1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: As a wide receiver coach in college football, and I 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: think I can see some of the nuances of the 3 00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: receiver position in you as a rookie. Does he d really? 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: You guys work a lot on route running and all 5 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 1: the nuances are playing wide open. Uh. Yeah, When I 6 00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: was little he coached as well. So honestly, like my 7 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,680 Speaker 1: whole life, he's been anytime I'm at home, that's who 8 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: I'm working with. Throughout college, anytime I came home, I 9 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: was working with him. And then the same thing throughout 10 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: this offseason. When I was at home, I was running 11 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: routs with him and getting prepared. You check in with 12 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 1: him routinely after practice and games, and does see what 13 00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: kinds of questions does he ask you? Yeah, I mean 14 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: a lot of times he's just trying to figure out, 15 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, how practice was, how I'm doing, you know, mentally, 16 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: you know, being away from home and whatnot, and not 17 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: especially with the time change because I don't really get 18 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: to talk to my family as much anymore because you're 19 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: to sleep. But yeah, his questions more so are based 20 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: on just really how I'm doing. And then when I 21 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: get to talking to him about the film, then we 22 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:54,720 Speaker 1: break down, you know, you could have did this or 23 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: that or this serious When that game's over, do you 24 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: really zero in on the handful of really decent plays 25 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: that you made, or do you think about the woman 26 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: that went through your hands? The one man that's that's 27 00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: that's the only one I could get. I couldn't get 28 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 1: that one out of my head. I you know, that one. 29 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: I just I just felt like such a just a 30 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: bad teammate for BA. I felt like I let him 31 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: down crazy, you know, getting him an interception on his thing. 32 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: So yeah, that one just the one that stuck with 33 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: me throughout that game or after that game generally, when 34 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,360 Speaker 1: you look through the film though, what what did you 35 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: see in What were you happy with in your portment? 36 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 1: Definitely just uh, I felt like I was comfortable, and 37 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,040 Speaker 1: I think that was uh something that uh, I guess 38 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: as a was like a goal of mine, you know 39 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, uh, when you turn on the film, 40 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: you watch UH from a standpoint of like assignment alignment, 41 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: what I'm what I'm supposed to be doing, Like I'm 42 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,319 Speaker 1: I was comfortable when I was doing, you know, the 43 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: right thing. So that was something that was a really 44 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: good thing that I looked back on how'd you return opportunities? 45 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: I thought I did a good job that I uh u, 46 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 1: especially on the punch you know, uh, squaring up the ball, 47 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: making a good clean catch, and then on the kickoffs 48 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: definitely I felt like I did. I did well as well. 49 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: I just on a couple of those I wanted. I 50 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: think it was one of them, like I wanted to 51 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 1: hit it a lot harder than what I did. I 52 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: feel like I, you know, just got to commit to it. 53 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 1: So uh, I would say it was an okay day returning, 54 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 1: great job fielding, but return wise that I could have 55 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: done better. You got to calibrate your mindset with with 56 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: Ray Ray being down, there is an opportunity there, a 57 00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: clear opportunity to do returns at least for the early 58 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 1: purpose season. Just trying not to do too much in 59 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: those types of situations. Yeah, I mean, at the end 60 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 1: of the day, I'm gonna be myself, And I think 61 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 1: that's the mindset that you kind of have going into that, 62 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,119 Speaker 1: going into that opportunity, like you said, or that situation, 63 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: I got to be who I am regardless of the situation. 64 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: So I think that's the mindset on that you could 65 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 1: have fair off them. Your guys, was it in on you? 66 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: Are you the kind of return who does not like 67 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: the fair catch? Or is it sort of especially game? 68 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: Let me see what I can do. Oh, I mean 69 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: I definitely was looking to make a play. I guess. Uh. 70 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: I think I was kind of a communication like I 71 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: was thinking I was safer than what I was. So 72 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: in those situations, one hundred percent should have fair caught them. 73 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: But again, you know, just uh being who I am 74 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: and just trying to make a play, So catch a 75 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: whole lot of Oh yes, sir, And so that's not tons, 76 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: But you didn't look like a guy who you know, 77 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: only had thirteen retreats in college. Uh Is that just 78 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 1: a natural skill for you or uh? Yeah, I mean 79 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: it's something I've done my entire life. Again, back to 80 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: my dad coaching. He was returned coach as well. So 81 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,959 Speaker 1: when I was like nine years old, I was catching punts. 82 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: So I feel like I've done it forever. And uh 83 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: yeah throughout college and game. I only had thirteen. But 84 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: I mean I don't think I ever missed a rep 85 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: in practice, so I've got a lot of repetition of 86 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: catching funds anything else. All right, thanks, alright, appreciate it
