How does it feel? And 18 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,120 Speaker 1: it feels good. Uh, you know, it was a huge 19 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: accomplishment for me um and so it's really grounded. This 20 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: fast spring, and uh, I got it done so we 21 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: could hang that someday somewhere. What was the graduation process like? 22 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,920 Speaker 1: Obviously amidst COVID it's not as you anticipated. What was 23 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:15,480 Speaker 1: that process like for you? So you had a virtual 24 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: ceremony um where you know, our dean and provost president 25 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: or in a nice little green screen at a podium 26 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: and basically just you know, said that they're grateful for 27 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: all us and you know the whole process, and you know, 28 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 1: it's very unique the situation that a lot of us 29 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: are facing. Uh. And then just you know, basically names 30 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: would scroll uh at the end, some music in the background, 31 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: Nables Girl, Fries College. So he's wait to see your 32 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: name and that's about it. That's exciting. Yeah, not too bad. 33 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: But you still you got that diploma. You accomplish that goal, 34 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: which I know was super important to you. UM, and 35 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: now having that behind you, you can just focus on football. 36 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 1: How tough was it balancing class and learning this new playbook? Yeah? Honestly, 37 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: you know, I'm very fortunate because the situation with everything 38 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: going online kind of helped me out. You know, I 39 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 1: was able to kind of be locked in. Um. Obviously 40 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: I was in class for a certain mile of day 41 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,079 Speaker 1: that I was in football officer and mon of day, 42 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: and um, all of my professors were comminating because they 43 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: knew sound was messed up. But my first priority was 44 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 1: you know football, um, and they knew that, and so 45 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: they kind of knew like the classes and kind of 46 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: finishing the semester was uh second on my mind. Um, 47 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: I was really just trying to get anything down. We 48 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: were trying to get to know everyone. I think that's important, 49 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: you know, over this virtual setting. Yeah, you mentioned on 50 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 1: a serious radio interview with Bob Popa David Deal how 51 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: coach Judge has really implemented a good way of everyone 52 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: getting to know each other. How How would you describe that? 53 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: M hm Uh, you know, I think it has been 54 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: very effective because you know, each day where you're competing, 55 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 1: whether on the individual level or in a group h 56 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: the group setting, and that's been good because you know, 57 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: the best way to bud with somebody is to compete 58 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 1: with someone. I think, um, and so each of us, 59 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: you know, our in our our groups get to learn 60 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: each of our teammates because you're competing to learning your 61 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: teammates really uh, and that I mean that implementation has 62 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: been awesome and I really enjoyed it each each day 63 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: hopping online um to meet with people and then meet 64 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: with the teammates until see what new challenges that day. Uh. 65 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: And you know, communication has been flowing, very fluid, has 66 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,280 Speaker 1: been open. I think that's important right now, just to 67 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: kind of build that camaraderie which we're not able to 68 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 1: because we're not in the facility together. You mentioned though 69 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: this trivia stuff. I mean, can you give a specific example. 70 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: Is it like who went to this school or what? Yeah? So, Uh, 71 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: there's a importance on getting to the area because you know, 72 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: with the New York Giants and we encomb with a 73 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: lot of demographics, a lot of people, a lot of areas, 74 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 1: UM geographically as well, and so you know, part of 75 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 1: it could be no, the no, the New Jersey area, 76 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: you no, different areas in New York. Uh and like 77 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: trivia and like geographic uh ways, and then yes, there 78 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: is get to know your teammates. Uh. So it could 79 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: be where somebody's from high school they went to. Uh 80 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: you know, a picture nameless person UM coaches as well. 81 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: You know kind of everybody's involved. It's a who could 82 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: pop up on the trivia and so that's a great 83 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: way just kind of it's a conversation starter as you 84 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: know with that person going forward. Uh, it's you learned 85 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: such interesting guys about people that I think you learn 86 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: more during doing that than you do kind of in 87 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: person with each other. Um, in a way. And so yeah, 88 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: that's kind of what it has been. It's almost kind 89 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 1: of a gift that this is a different approach. And 90 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,719 Speaker 1: obviously it's not easy being off the football field and 91 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: doing a lot of this virtually. But you know, I 92 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 1: know last year you kind of said that your priority 93 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: was knowing the playbook in and out and that really 94 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: helped you get on the field. Is it tough learning 95 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: a whole new playbook or how different is it with 96 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: this new coaching staff. Yeah, it's it's tough at first, um, 97 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: but they've done a great job of you know, setting 98 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: up film, setting up meetings, uh, certain power points. You know, 99 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: some coaches might step back in the camera and like 100 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: demonstry something which is kind of funny. But I think 101 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: it's going well. I think you know, none of us 102 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: can control what is happening right now, um and why 103 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: we're in this virtual setting. But all we can do 104 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: is do our very best to learn as much as 105 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: possible in this setting, and I think we've done a 106 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: great job so far. Um, everything is very easy. UM. 107 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: You know they put in front of you all you 108 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: guys are asking a lot of questions, and I think 109 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 1: that's the start of building something great. And so I 110 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 1: think it's been good so far in terms of learning everything, 111 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 1: and I've enjoyed it. For you personally, How confident are 112 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: you heading into your second year? That's a that's a 113 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 1: funny question. UM. You know I I say, I'm always 114 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: confident in my abilities and you know, learning playbooks, being intelligent, 115 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: just trying to grow. And I am like I, you know, 116 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,039 Speaker 1: I'm excited for all of that. Um. But then you know, 117 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: you gotta have that element of pressure behind you to 118 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: be able to grow and get better. I think that's 119 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: kind of what I've always done every year of football, 120 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: no matter what level I'm at, no matter what accomplice 121 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: the year before, UM, you gotta feel that element of pressure, um, 122 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 1: in orders to grow. And so I that's kind of 123 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 1: my mindset. I'm confident in my abilities, but I know 124 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: that I need to earn it. I need to really 125 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: go after you know, the season and attack UM. That's 126 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: kind of my mindset. And so yeah, take with that 127 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: as you will. That's a good, good outlook, I mean, 128 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: And a lot of this pressure, do you put pressure 129 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,440 Speaker 1: on yourself or do you look at it like a 130 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 1: competitive nature of your teammates or how how do you 131 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: acquire that pressure? I think it's by myself. I think, um, 132 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: I am always a positive person with my teammates. I 133 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: always wants to grow and I always be there to 134 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: help no matter who it is. For myself, I think 135 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: I'm definitely hard on myself than I am you know, 136 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: the people around me, because I I try to set 137 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: the bar, try to set an example of who I 138 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 1: am as a person, as a player, as a competitor, um. 139 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: And so that's kind of yeah, it's definitely internal pressure. Um. 140 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: But then you know with everyone else, I you know, 141 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 1: you always have to apply a little bit of competitive 142 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 1: to everybody. But yeah, I try to be in a 143 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: positive aspect with everyone else. Also physically, Like it's got 144 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: to be tough being away from the facility into like that. 145 00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: I know you mentioned you kind of had been putting 146 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: together a little jim in your home in Chicago. What 147 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: the what is the story? How was that coming together 148 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: and tell me about the pieces you put in place there. Yeah. 149 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: So uh, I mean I was back home without my 150 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 1: family at home, and I'm like, all right, I gotta 151 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: make I'm not in And when I was at home, 152 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: the weather wasn't very good and something like I'm not 153 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: in a warm place. You know, Chicago varies, it's cold 154 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: most of the year, and m all right, I gotta 155 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: figure something out. And uh, you know our strength and 156 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,800 Speaker 1: New Strength coach coach fits did a great job and 157 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 1: him and his staff sending out those resources to all 158 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: of us. Um, if we want to get equipment, if 159 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: we have equipment or you know, options basically, And so 160 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 1: I took them up on that, and I got a 161 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: contact with a couple of people and yeah, I set 162 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: up a At first, I got resistance bands.

Then I got a squat rack. Um, 172 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: I got a flat bench. Uh I always sent adjustable 173 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: bench um which helps out. And then I got a 174 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: few Olympic bars, a few sets of plates for the 175 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: bars um. And then recently I got a set of 176 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: power blocks, which is basically an adjustable Dumbell set UM. 177 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 1: And so yeah, I uh it's not as small than 178 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: I kind of got everything I needed. So you have 179 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: a whole fitness center right now. Are you gonna like 180 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: like start offering memberships to that? Because it was pretty 181 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: little camp love um. And so it's good. You know, 182 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: we get some work in, um we're able to doing 183 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: to come for our of our home. We need to 184 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: go too far um. And then yeah, just try to 185 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: get field working wherever we can. UM. You know, try 186 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: to abide by the guidelines set by the CDC, and 187 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: we'll try to be safe, healthy and all that. UM. 188 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: But you know, local field has been very accommodating for 189 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 1: me and my brother, uh and my girlfriend just kind 190 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: of being able to run on the field and uh, 191 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 1: because I mean my office is turf so I gotta 192 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: be on TEFF train. Yeah. And I mean you mentioned 193 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,199 Speaker 1: being able to run, you know, I've I've heard you 194 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: talked about two just getting your lungs ready and that 195 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 1: the importance of that. I mean, do you do kind 196 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: of sprints, do you do long distance runs or what 197 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 1: do you do to condition your cardio? Yeah? So I 198 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: think what's important is when I work out normally, I 199 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: try to go at a faster pace. I think, you know, 200 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: it's like two birds of one stone. If I'm working 201 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 1: out now, might as well get some cardio in as well. Uh, 202 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 1: I've moved quickly. I learned that in college. That's kind 203 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: of how we operated, and so you know that's part 204 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: of it. Um. But then each day, yeah, I use 205 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: go out there, you get a nice form up in, 206 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 1: like everything kind of loose fired up. Uh. And then 207 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 1: I'll do some sprint work and I'll do some conditioning. 208 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: It could be like I don't know, down the field, 209 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 1: it could be gasers, like the width of the field. Um, 210 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: just try to just really you know, build your endurance 211 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: and do longer distances. And then after that I'll do 212 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: position work, which I think kind of is what being 213 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 1: a fullball player is you know, when you're tired all 214 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: that stuff, you're able to get in it out of 215 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: your break, especially at dB and so yeah, it's kind 216 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: of like my normal routine. I talked to some some 217 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: of the other guys and the team, and some people 218 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: have mentioned that one of the toughest parts about being 219 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: away from the facility is not having the cold tub 220 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: and the massage and the kind of recovery things that 221 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 1: you guys are used to as pro athletes. How do 222 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 1: you recover, how do you like kind of take care 223 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: of your body in between those tough workouts. Yeah, that's 224 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: a that's a good question, I think from me, I'm 225 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: blessed to be young right now. Um. And so even 226 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: you know, was at the facility after you you know, 227 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 1: workout lift or whatever practice, I wasn't a huge Uh. 228 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: I didn't hopping on a cold tub too much. Um 229 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: maybe before I'll hop in the hot tub to you know, 230 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: just get loose. But in terms of recovery, I think 231 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 1: it was just important. I put importance on what I'm 232 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 1: eating after um, what I'm hydrating, and I think I 233 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: was always my biggest thing and so now I'm just 234 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: making sure I'm chugging water, some monster lights in every 235 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: single day no matter what I'm doing. Um, yeah, just 236 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,560 Speaker 1: trying to eat after just try to kind of get 237 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 1: some nutrition in those muscles. Uh. And after I do that, 238 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: I feel pretty good. And uh yeah, that's kind of 239 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,959 Speaker 1: my recovery process. And you know what, everyone's going to 240 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: do it differently, and and it sounds like it's working 241 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: for you so far. And you know, heading into your 242 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 1: second year, what are your personal goals?

And Uh, personally, I've never been on 245 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 1: to set too many goals for myself. Um.
