37
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: underrated guy. Um and you know, just just being in

Speaker 1: the same position. Um. It just it just build confidence

39
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 1: and and charrot it. Did you know that you can

40
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: make anything happen? I was a little bit of hard

41
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: work and homefulness. When you went to work out at

42
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: the pro day. Did you have a feeling you might

43
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: surprise the people? Uh? I would have said it feeling. Uh,

44
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: I just worked hard to train hard and uh, I

45
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: did you know whatever happened at the pro day, I

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: praised about it, and I just knew that I had

47
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: trained wills, so you know, it was just my ability

48
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: to execute everything that I trained. But I was hoping

49
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 1: to surprised a couple of people see that you're listened

50
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 1: as a cornerback? Is that just the position the only

51
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: position you could play? Or can you play a little safety?

52
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: You think too? Um, I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

53
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: You know what do you happen to listen as you

54
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: could the corner And I'm not sure what it is

55
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 1: you said that, But I'm just I'm just willing to

56
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: go work with a position they want me to play. Um,

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna do. I you played safety down

58
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 1: in the past. Sorry, didn't mean to interact you there.

59
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: I've never played safety. Yeah, going back to Brady for

60
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: a second, I'm sure you'll be asked this a lot,

61
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: But you know, what do you think about the prospect

62
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: of coming in here and and being Tom Brady's teammate

63
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: and try to earn a place on the Patriots. Um,

64
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 1: I don't mind, you know, I don't I don't look

65
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: too far within the whole process. Man. I mean, everybody

66
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: has a job to do, and you know, whether I'm

67
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 1: just teammate or you know, I just still have to

68
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: do my job. So yeah, I'm just coming here. I'm

69
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: just coming in, Brady the word learned and uh enjoy

70
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: my teammates, all right. They're particular cornerbacks that you watch

71
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: in the league and and if not model your game after,

72
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 1: at least you know, study a bit more than others

73
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: that you've you've learned a lot from. Definitely, Um, I'm

74
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: stay a little bit of Malthom Butler, that's the one

75
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: guy that that I can say I kind of modeled

76
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: my game out. He's a good player. Um, and you

77
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: know it showed in the Super Bowl. Um, but that's

78
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of who I modeled my game out theve.

79
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: I also look at other corners as well. Um, just

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, you got the things that I have, so

81
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: you know, giving me an ideal, you know, certain things

82
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,719
Speaker 1: that you know I can be successful in the NFL.

83
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: And you know you were drafted he was not, but

84
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 1: nonetheless at two forty three in the seventh round, and

85
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: you come to a place where where, like Malcolm, you're

86
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: gonna get an opportunity. Does that inspire the fact that,

87
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, there was a guy that came in his

88
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: relative unknown to people in New England and you know

89
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: not only made the team but obviously made a big

90
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: impact on this team. Um yeah, I mean it's it's

91
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: definitely a big deal. But you know, at the end

92
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: of the day, everybody had to make a game. So

93
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: whether you drafted, undrafted, first round, drafted, man um, you

94
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: still got to do your job. And that's what that's

95
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: come is Dal
