36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 1: I learned a lot about myself over the last year,

37
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. With my health, trying to

38
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: stay healthy. I got this new mantra my boy, Davion

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: whole summer I'm thinking about trusting the whole process of

42
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: rehabbing and and and getting back to where I wanted

43
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: to be, you know what I'm saying. Like I said,

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: my cleats are back in the grass, and I'm just

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: trusting everything that I did this summer leading into now

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: and uh so I can progress and keep going. Yeah,

47
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: just a little bit more familiar. I'm saying, I made

48
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,959
Speaker 1: it about this far last year, so I mean I

49
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,839
Speaker 1: got a lot to go. I'm saying, still having put

50
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: on the game jersey for the Patriots, but uh, looking

51
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: forward to it this year and going out there and

52
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 1: making some plays. Oh, it's gonna be amazing, you know

53
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: what saying, It's gonna be amazing being like I said, man,

54
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 1: being out there with the guys. Putting a smile on

55
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: my face. Again. I'm saying, it's been a long process,

56
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: but like I said, we're onto new things and better things.

57
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Like Yeah, when when I when I when I first

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: walked into the locker room and seeing Dante high Tower's

59
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: name on the in the locker room, and um, it's

60
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: crazy because back in high school, before my high school games,

61
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: I used to type in Dante hot Tower Highlights and

62
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: sit and watch his highlights before my high school games

63
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: and now we're sitting side by side in the locker room.

64
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: So he was kind of one of my inspirations growing up.

65
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: He's a little bigger dude than me, but yeah, you

66
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: gotta he a little taller, you know'm saying a little bigger,

67
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: but for sure always looked up to his game. I

68
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: thought he was one of the one of the best

69
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: in the league and potential Hall of famers, So I

70
00:03:52,440 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: for sure was watching him growing up. Always his sack dances, Uh,

71
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, I'm saying to the point, I used to

72
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: always try to I didn't have that in high school,

73
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: but or college or NFL. But his dance after he

74
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: getting sacked. You know, I'm saying, he got a lot

75
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: of sacks here. So his celebrations and how he always

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: celebrated with teammates
