1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:05,320 Speaker 1: It's great to be here today start of the football season. 2 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: This is the twenty ninth year we've had the privilege 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: of introducing our number one pick. We're lucky this year 4 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:24,040 Speaker 1: we have a young man from Tennessee who had a 5 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:30,280 Speaker 1: three point seven gpa, so we know he's got, as 6 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: we say in New England, the spots. And you know 7 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: one thing Jonathan and I liked is Kenny Chesney is 8 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: a big fan of his from Tennessee. So we told 9 00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: him he's going to have a chance to meet Kenny 10 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 1: because he's coming up here and he's a big fan 11 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: of Kenny. So that's really nice. And I know a 12 00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 1: lot of people sometimes question when we take offensive lineman 13 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: in the first round, and the last time we did 14 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,279 Speaker 1: it was OZ five with Logan Mankins and that turned 15 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: out pretty well. And we think we're privileging now to 16 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: have a great young quarterback. And we just solidified the 17 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: middle with Cold Strange here and we're gonna let him 18 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: say a few words after we present him with this jersey. 19 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: M The plan was to go back into the media 20 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: work room because of the wind. You guys wanted to 21 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: just do it right here. Are you comfortable answering questions 22 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: out here. Okay, we'll open up for some questions. Ye 23 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: know what, it's a voice. I like to be a 24 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: double ratron man. It's a dream come true. Honestly, Uh, 25 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: I don't really know what to say other than that 26 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 1: I'm so happy to be here. I love it here already. 27 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: I've only been here for a few hours. I love it. 28 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:01,399 Speaker 1: Last thing, I was static. I was with my dad. 29 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: We were fired up. We both started hooting and hollering. Yeah. 30 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 1: Like I said, it's a dream come true. So we 31 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: were freaking out. Yes, sir, Yeah, I came away with 32 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,200 Speaker 1: a relatively good feeling. Uh. Every time that we talked, 33 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: I felt confident you know that that uh, they liked me. 34 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 1: I knew that I liked them. I loved them. Um. 35 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: But yes, sir, I feel good, Yes sir, Yes, sir. 36 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: This is my first song. I love the weather for 37 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: for charters, I love the weather. Um. Honestly, I don't 38 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: have anything negative to say. You know, I guess I 39 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: hadn't really had much of a chance to see all 40 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: this stuff that there is to do. But you know, 41 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just I'm really just blown away. 42 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: I know for a fact, I'm gonna enjoy it here 43 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: and like Asto Crafts said, we're gonna have a lot 44 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:12,839 Speaker 1: of fun. Well, well, you mean like a fun fact 45 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: or something. Well, I'm not one of those guys who 46 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: can do it real fast, but I can solve a rube. Excuse, Yeah, 47 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: there's a fun fact contact. Yes, sir, you mean from Chattanooga, Yes, sir, 48 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: mac Jones. So he texted me this morning and I 49 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,840 Speaker 1: think we're gonna go eat dinner tonight. I forget the 50 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 1: name of the place, but it's somewhere around here. Okay, yes, sir. 51 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,920 Speaker 1: You know, we didn't really come into it with expectations. 52 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: We had heard. You know, it's the same thing that 53 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: you know, anyone else would see. People do mock grafts 54 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: and they have people estimated whether they think they're gonn go. 55 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: But I mean, really, from from January or even earlier, 56 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: you know, all of us believed it was gonna happen, 57 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: and all of us were confident that I was gonna go. 58 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: We weren't sure where I was gonna go or when 59 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 1: I was gonna go, but we just know I was 60 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: gonna go somewhere. And honestly, like this is where it starts. 61 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: In my opinion, you know, like getting drafted first, like 62 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: that's it's a dream come true, but you know it's 63 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: there's a lot of work to do. Yes, sir. Honestly, 64 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: I guess I would just say my dad. From the 65 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: time I was young, you know, he coached me in 66 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: Little League. We talked aball all the time. Um, I 67 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: would say my dad for sure, yes sir, excuse me, 68 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: yes sir. It was a text um. Honestly, it was 69 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: like it just felt like I was home. Honestly, you know, 70 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 1: like he just texted, was like hey, man, just wanted 71 00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: to reach out and say what's up. And then I 72 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: was like, thank you. I'm fired up to be a patriot, 73 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, we just texted back and forth, 74 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: and he's like asking me how long I was gonna stay. 75 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't have a clue. They just 76 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: told me to come out here. And then uh, He's like, well, 77 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna get some dinner. And I was like, yes, 78 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 1: we are gonna get some dinner. Mac Yeah. Um, well, 79 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I didn't really I wasn't familiar with 80 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,719 Speaker 1: five away or what aerial code that was. But my ears, 81 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: my eyes, everything immediately perked up and I was like, 82 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: this is something and I answered it and I looked 83 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: at my dad and I was like, gave him the eye. 84 00:06:42,279 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 1: You know, he knew it was happening. Yes, sir, Yes, sir. Yeah. Um, well, 85 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: I think it's just like, uh, you know, I guess 86 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: I just try to play aggressive in general, you know, 87 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: and I've always kind of done this thing, which I 88 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: don't think it's anything special, but it's like I just 89 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: kind of create these little narratives in my mind that 90 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: helped to get me a little bit, you know, just 91 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: a little extra motivation, even if it's not real, like, uh, 92 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 1: you know. A good example is the was it the 93 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: Michael Jordan document docu series? He like explained doing it 94 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 1: and I was watching, I was like, oh my gosh, 95 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: like this is awesome. I'm like, you know, it's something 96 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: i'd kind of done, but I never really like put 97 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: it into words of like he talked about how he, 98 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: you know, would like make up these narratives just to 99 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: get him like upset or angry, so would play you know, 100 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: with like a little bit more fire. And I was like, 101 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: I feel like I've been doing that. I just have 102 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 1: never like you know, actually noticed it or you know, 103 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: like conscientiously, like put a tag on him, like this 104 00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: is what I do. But I don't know. I guess 105 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: I just always I always try to play like that. 106 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: I feel like that's how the game of football is 107 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: supposed to be played. Anything like the pettiest thing that 108 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: you can think of that just doesn't shouldn't bother you 109 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 1: at all, And you just go down the rabbit hole 110 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: of feeding that wolf and saying, you know what, I'm 111 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: gonna let this bother me. You can let that carry 112 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: in your imagination. I'm sure all of you could probably 113 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: think of something. Well. I think it's just because and 114 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: and I appreciate you saying seamlessly, that's really nice, But 115 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,439 Speaker 1: I don't know if anything will be seamless. I think 116 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: it's just that he knows that I'm going to put 117 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: the work in. You know, I know for a fact 118 00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a battle, and you know, I know 119 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 1: I know there's gonna be a lot of work involved, 120 00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 1: and I actively look forward to that. And I think 121 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: that maybe that's what he saw. Yes, sir, thank you. 122 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: Whatever Coach Belichick tells me to do, I feel like 123 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: I could play really anywhere, you know, um, I'm comfortable 124 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,440 Speaker 1: playing anywhere wherever they need me to play. I honestly 125 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 1: just want to do whatever I can do to help 126 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 1: us win. You know, I don't have a preference. I'm 127 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:45,839 Speaker 1: really fine with wherever. Thank you, guys, Thanks, thank you.
