Speaker 1: As a wide receiver coach in college football, and I
Speaker 1: think I can see some of the nuances of the
Speaker 1: receiver position in you as a rookie. Does he d really?
Speaker 1: You guys work a lot on route running and all
Speaker 1: the nuances are playing wide open. Uh. Yeah, When I
Speaker 1: was little he coached as well. So honestly, like my
Speaker 1: whole life, he's been anytime I'm at home, that's who
Speaker 1: I'm working with. Throughout college, anytime I came home, I
Speaker 1: was working with him. And then the same thing throughout
Speaker 1: this offseason. When I was at home, I was running
Speaker 1: routs with him and getting prepared. You check in with
Speaker 1: him routinely after practice and games, and does see what
Speaker 1: kinds of questions does he ask you? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: a lot of times he's just trying to figure out,
Speaker 1: you know, how practice was, how I'm doing, you know, mentally,
Speaker 1: you know, being away from home and whatnot, and not
Speaker 1: especially with the time change because I don't really get
Speaker 1: to talk to my family as much anymore because you're
Speaker 1: to sleep. But yeah, his questions more so are based
Speaker 1: on just really how I'm doing. And then when I
Speaker 1: get to talking to him about the film, then we
Speaker 1: break down, you know, you could have did this or
Speaker 1: that or this serious When that game's over, do you
Speaker 1: really zero in on the handful of really decent plays
Speaker 1: that you made, or do you think about the woman
Speaker 1: that went through your hands? The one man that's that's
Speaker 1: that's the only one I could get. I couldn't get
Speaker 1: that one out of my head. I you know, that one.
Speaker 1: I just I just felt like such a just a
Speaker 1: bad teammate for BA. I felt like I let him
Speaker 1: down crazy, you know, getting him an interception on his thing.
Speaker 1: So yeah, that one just the one that stuck with
Speaker 1: me throughout that game or after that game generally, when
Speaker 1: you look through the film though, what what did you
Speaker 1: see in What were you happy with in your portment?
Speaker 1: Definitely just uh, I felt like I was comfortable, and
Speaker 1: I think that was uh something that uh, I guess
Speaker 1: as a was like a goal of mine, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, uh, when you turn on the film,
Speaker 1: you watch UH from a standpoint of like assignment alignment,
Speaker 1: what I'm what I'm supposed to be doing, Like I'm
Speaker 1: I was comfortable when I was doing, you know, the
Speaker 1: right thing. So that was something that was a really
Speaker 1: good thing that I looked back on how'd you return opportunities?
Speaker 1: I thought I did a good job that I uh u,
Speaker 1: especially on the punch you know, uh, squaring up the ball,
Speaker 1: making a good clean catch, and then on the kickoffs
Speaker 1: definitely I felt like I did. I did well as well.
Speaker 1: I just on a couple of those I wanted. I
Speaker 1: think it was one of them, like I wanted to
Speaker 1: hit it a lot harder than what I did. I
Speaker 1: feel like I, you know, just got to commit to it.
Speaker 1: So uh, I would say it was an okay day returning,
Speaker 1: great job fielding, but return wise that I could have
Speaker 1: done better. You got to calibrate your mindset with with
Speaker 1: Ray Ray being down, there is an opportunity there, a
Speaker 1: clear opportunity to do returns at least for the early
Speaker 1: purpose season. Just trying not to do too much in
Speaker 1: those types of situations. Yeah, I mean, at the end
Speaker 1: of the day, I'm gonna be myself, And I think
Speaker 1: that's the mindset that you kind of have going into that,
Speaker 1: going into that opportunity, like you said, or that situation,
Speaker 1: I got to be who I am regardless of the situation.
Speaker 1: So I think that's the mindset on that you could
Speaker 1: have fair off them. Your guys, was it in on you?
Speaker 1: Are you the kind of return who does not like
Speaker 1: the fair catch? Or is it sort of especially game?
Speaker 1: Let me see what I can do. Oh, I mean
Speaker 1: I definitely was looking to make a play. I guess. Uh.
Speaker 1: I think I was kind of a communication like I
Speaker 1: was thinking I was safer than what I was. So
Speaker 1: in those situations, one hundred percent should have fair caught them.
Speaker 1: But again, you know, just uh being who I am
Speaker 1: and just trying to make a play, So catch a
Speaker 1: whole lot of Oh yes, sir, And so that's not tons,
Speaker 1: But you didn't look like a guy who you know,
Speaker 1: only had thirteen retreats in college. Uh Is that just
Speaker 1: a natural skill for you or uh? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it's something I've done my entire life. Again, back to
Speaker 1: my dad coaching. He was returned coach as well. So
Speaker 1: when I was like nine years old, I was catching punts.
Speaker 1: So I feel like I've done it forever. And uh
Speaker 1: yeah throughout college and game. I only had thirteen. But
Speaker 1: I mean I don't think I ever missed a rep
Speaker 1: in practice, so I've got a lot of repetition of
Speaker 1: catching funds anything else. All right, thanks, alright, appreciate it
