The feeling going into the draft was 10 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 2: the Jets would take a wide receiver early after selecting 11 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 2: Penn State tackle Olu Fashionu in round one, GM Joe 12 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 2: Douglas traded up in the third round to take Western 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,920 Speaker 2: Kentucky's Malkai Corley at the top of round three and 14 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,560 Speaker 2: four stellar seasons with the Hilltoppers, the five eleven, two 15 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 2: hundred and fifteen pounders set the school record with two 16 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 2: hundred and fifty nine receptions for twenty nine hundred and 17 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: forty three yards and twenty nine touchdowns. He was Aaron Rodgers' 18 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 2: favorite receiver in the draft. Scouting director John Carr, along 19 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 2: with senior regional scout Jonathan Stiegel and national scout Don 20 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: Green Here are going to provide us with all the 21 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: background on a Yat King who saw things through at WKU. 22 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 3: I'll say that the guys did a great job that 23 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 3: handled that area. Was Jonathan Stiegel was the primary there, 24 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 3: with Dom Green being the national scout and then Phil 25 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 3: Savage being the third look with Malachi, and each and 26 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 3: every one of those guys were consensus with their grades 27 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 3: what they had on him, and same thing with the 28 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 3: character that they got on the young man. Being a 29 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 3: former coach, this guy right here, I was super excited 30 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 3: when I turned on the tape with Malachi. 31 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 4: He's tough, he's competitive. 32 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 3: You know, he has the ability, in my opinion, to 33 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 3: play inside and outside, so he gives us some versatility. 34 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 3: He love his play strength and what's been said by everyone, 35 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 3: his outstanding run after the catchability. This guy has such 36 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,079 Speaker 3: great spatial awareness and he's so physical. Sometimes he's looking 37 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: for to run through people as opposed to run away 38 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 3: from them, and he's successful in doing those things. But 39 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 3: he brings a competitive edge that I think will fit 40 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 3: well within our wide receiver room. She's so super excited 41 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,799 Speaker 3: about Malachi. He was a favorite in the room as 42 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 3: far as him being there or I think we moved 43 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: up and for him to be there. 44 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 4: It was kind of a fired up moment for everyone 45 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 4: in the room. 46 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 5: The key some of us scouts have been saying is conviction, right, Like, 47 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 5: from the scouting staff to the coaching staff, this was 48 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 5: a player that it's felt like everyone in the building 49 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 5: had a feel for. We love the way the kid plays, 50 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 5: we love him with the ball in his hands, we 51 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 5: love his mentality. I know it's been documented. You know that, 52 00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 5: you know he'll run over a relative if he has to. 53 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 5: Like it all goes back to what I said earlier 54 00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 5: that we want to get to know these kids, and 55 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,600 Speaker 5: we feel like Malachi is a kid that when the 56 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 5: game is on the line, when the balls in his hands, 57 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 5: he wants to win and that's what we want. And 58 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 5: he's got that sense of urgency in his mind that 59 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 5: he wants to be the best. 60 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 2: Well, what was Friday actually like as the weight increased 61 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 2: for you guys as staff knowing that, Hey, listen, we 62 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: like a lot of prospects for our next pick. 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: We really want Coreling. 64 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough. 65 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 3: I mean we had, you know, a certain amount of 66 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 3: receivers on the board that we really liked, and obviously 67 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: Corley was in that list and some of those guys 68 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,120 Speaker 3: were taken there in the second round, you saw a 69 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 3: slew of receivers started getting drafted there in the second 70 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 3: after the first round guys went and so there was 71 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 3: conversations on the phone with trying to get back there 72 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 3: in the end of the second that maybe pick up 73 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 3: a pick and get Malachi. And you know, sometimes it works, 74 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: sometimes it doesn't, but it worked out perfectly. Joe was 75 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 3: very patient and talk to everybody. He made sure he 76 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 3: exhausted all of his avenues before we decided just to 77 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 3: wait for him at seventy two, which was our third 78 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 3: round pick, and we were able to you know, make 79 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: a good deal with Carolina to get the top of 80 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 3: the third and get our guy. So there was a 81 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: lot of conversations over the phone and everyone talking to 82 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: everyone to see if we can move in and get 83 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 3: our guy. But it worked out perfectly for us. 84 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 6: You know, going in there. The last couple of years, 85 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 6: this guy's always made plays in that offense. You know, 86 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 6: it's pretty unique. You know, he's got a lot of 87 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 6: short targets and screen passes, but the guy's always making 88 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 6: big plays off of those, either running over or running 89 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 6: around guys. And when you get to see the guy 90 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 6: You're like, Okay, this makes sense. I mean he's a 91 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 6: well built receiver. I mean, the guy's built. He could 92 00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 6: play running back, you know, in the in the body 93 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 6: sense early on, you know, like I said, you know, 94 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 6: going in there in the past and watching from Bailey 95 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,119 Speaker 6: Zappi throwing balls to him to the quarterback this year, 96 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 6: and I mean the guys at highlight film you know, 97 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 6: watching him, he's just you get the ball in his hands, 98 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 6: he's going to be productive, and he's so tough and competitive. 99 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 7: Well for a wide receiver. You know, I'm an old, 100 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,640 Speaker 7: old line guy. So I mean, you got to be 101 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 7: able to catch. It's called wide receiver for a reason, right, 102 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 7: So you got the ability to catch the football. But 103 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 7: it's more than that. You gotta be able to run routes. 104 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 7: You gotta be able to move inside outside as far 105 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 7: as your alignment. So you got to have a great 106 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 7: mental feel for the game, you know, and you got 107 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 7: to be able to separate as a route runner. So 108 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 7: your quarterback's got a good window to throw to. So 109 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 7: but Malachi watched watch him, you know, about this time 110 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 7: last year, started really digging into him. Really really fun 111 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,559 Speaker 7: player to watch because he's a. He's really physical, he's tough, 112 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 7: he's strong, and he's really good as a runner after 113 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 7: the catch. So he's the guy with a background and 114 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 7: as a running back, and he was really fun to watch. 115 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 7: He's one of the more exciting players to me this 116 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 7: time last year heading into the ball. 117 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 2: How big of a week was it for him down 118 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,160 Speaker 2: at the Senior Bowl? As far as I know, he 119 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 2: played Ohio State during the season, but for you guys, 120 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 2: it's pro scouts to watch him against the bust of 121 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: the bust. 122 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 4: It was big. 123 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 6: Like I stated before the offense State run, he doesn't 124 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 6: run a lot of pro style routes, so putting him 125 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 6: in the position to do that, he did good. I mean, 126 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 6: he still has work to do because he hasn't done 127 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 6: a lot of it, but you could see the speed, 128 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 6: the strength of quickness in the hands. You know, hard 129 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 6: league's physical, and he's not going to shy away from 130 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 6: any of that. I mean, his mindset is to catch 131 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 6: the ball and find the end zone and he did 132 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 6: a good job of that, and I thought he had 133 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 6: a good Senior Bowl week. 134 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,479 Speaker 7: You know, people leave for whatever reasons, but you know, 135 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 7: you each case is his individual, you know, from from 136 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 7: the next You know, you can't really compare, but I 137 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 7: would say that it does. You know, it leaves you 138 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 7: feeling warm and fuzzy about a player's stability and loyalty 139 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 7: when they've been you know, asked to leave and all 140 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 7: that stuff, been hit with a lot of big time 141 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 7: offers to leave, you know, so it kind of you 142 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 7: get a better idea of the of the makeup of 143 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 7: the kid and what's really important to him to stay somewhere, 144 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 7: be really successful, be with his teammates, be loyal to 145 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 7: those that have gotten to that point in his career. 146 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 2: Do you think this is a good spot for him 147 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: when you look at the situation, like anybody wants to 148 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: play with Aaron Rodgers. 149 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: I get that. 150 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 2: But as far as like the way the receiver room 151 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: is set up with Garrett's versatility, Mike a traditional big 152 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 2: acts you can go up and get it and stuff 153 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: like that. You guys got some dup, But can you 154 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 2: talk about like how you think Corey fits. 155 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 1: In with the group? 156 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 4: Absolutely? 157 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 6: I mean, you know, Garrett can do both inside and out, 158 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 6: and I think Malachi will be able to do the same. 159 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 6: You know, he'll need some more outside refinement. But having 160 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 6: the versatility to do both is huge at this level. 161 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 6: I mean, it just gives you more balance and a 162 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 6: threat instead of just having one, you know, one standout guy, 163 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 6: you know, adding Mike and having the size you know 164 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 6: to play big and contested situations on the outside, and 165 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 6: having Garrett and Malachi if they're all in the field, 166 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 6: to work all levels of the defensive backfield. 167 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,960 Speaker 2: It wasn't exactly a secret the Jets would add a 168 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: quarterback in the draft. 169 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: The questions we all had was when and who. 170 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: In the fifth round, with the one hundred and seventy 171 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 2: first pick, Joe Douglas grabbed Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis. 172 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 3: So Jordan Travis in the southeast, Andy Davis was the 173 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 3: primary area of scout. Ja Mandalizi was our national scout 174 00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 3: there and Phil Savage was the third look for Jordan. 175 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 2: Okay, so you guys, we're going to be in the 176 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 2: business for a developmental quarterback. Joe Douglas has emphasized that 177 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: he'd love to have a quarterback factory here. You have 178 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 2: a very good situation there with a future Hall of 179 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 2: Famer Aaron Rodgers being your starting quarterback. You got Ty 180 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 2: rod Taylor, an established guy behind him as well. You 181 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 2: add a third to the mix here, can you speak 182 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: to Jordan's evolution as a college player in Tallahassee great. 183 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: Value pick for us here in that fifth round. And 184 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 3: you know, if he didn't get injured, he probably would 185 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: have going to higher than where we selected him. Right, 186 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,480 Speaker 3: you're looking at a young man that changed the course 187 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 3: of Florida State's football. 188 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 4: Right. 189 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 3: As far as he's a winner, he's been a winner 190 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:53,520 Speaker 3: everywhere he's been. He's a good leader, he's a competitor. 191 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: You know, his athletic ability as a dual thread ability, 192 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,720 Speaker 3: being able to do things when on his arm, but 193 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,839 Speaker 3: his legs he shows good. He has a good arm, 194 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 3: and he's accurate with his throws. And he's a good 195 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 3: decision maker. You know, he took care of the football. 196 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 2: In forty nine college games, Travis hit on sixty two 197 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 2: point one percent of us passes for nearly nine thousand 198 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 2: yards with sixty six touchdowns and twenty interceptions. A dual 199 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 2: threat at Florida State, Travis was a key to the 200 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: seminals resurgence. 201 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 1: He sustained a serious leg injury against. 202 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 2: Northern Alabama in November, though area scout Andy Davis and 203 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: National Scout Jamandalisi spoke about Travis's college journey and what's ahead. 204 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: Draft day itself. 205 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 8: Joe's really good about trying to keep us updated and 206 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 8: what guys are in consideration, just for us to know, okay, 207 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 8: we might be needed. And I would say with Jordan 208 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 8: in particular, there was a lot of positive, positive comments, 209 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 8: I guess from the coaching staff, from the personnel staff, 210 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 8: Like I knew that if we were going to go quarterback, 211 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 8: that would be a guy that was going to be 212 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 8: in the mix. So I was, you know, ready, I's 213 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 8: prepared and just excited that you know, when a time 214 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 8: to pick one, it was, it was Jordan. 215 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:05,640 Speaker 4: Yeah. 216 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 5: I think it's been said it's the most important position 217 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 5: in all of professional sports. It's quarterbacks. So identifying guys 218 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 5: that you know we can develop and sure there's gonna 219 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 5: be guys going on day one, day you know, day two, 220 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 5: those those guys are really good players, and we identify 221 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,880 Speaker 5: Jordan as a guy on day three that similar to Olu. 222 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 5: You know, he's in a situation where he's able to 223 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 5: learn under one of the best. But not only that, 224 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 5: we feel like Jordan is built to learn. 225 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: You were in teleassy, what's the scouting report from the 226 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: perspective of him on the field, and also then tangibles, 227 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 2: because when you're targeting a guy at that position, you 228 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: need a guy who can lead, who is a worker, 229 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 2: who is well liked. I mean a quarterback position. You're 230 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 2: going to ask for a lot from those dudes if 231 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 2: you're bringing them in the building. 232 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 4: Yeah. 233 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 5: So Jordan, it's his stories unique, right. He started at Louisville, 234 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 5: had some bumps in the road, goes to Florida State 235 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,120 Speaker 5: and it wasn't perfect early on, And to me, I 236 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 5: look at that as it was an opportunity for Jordan 237 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 5: to really go through some adversity and he came out 238 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 5: on top. Mike Norvell does a great job down in 239 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 5: Florida State, and he identified Jordan as a guy that 240 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 5: could change their program and he did just that. And 241 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 5: I think that was evident this year. You know, they 242 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 5: went they went thirteen and OHO and you know when 243 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 5: when Jordan got injured, it's one of those moments you 244 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 5: kind of remember where you were when it happened, because 245 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 5: I remember watching on TV and myself and Andy Davis 246 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 5: were texting each other and just the you felt for 247 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 5: the kid. You felt for the program because you kind 248 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 5: of knew, like this was really going to hurt their chances. 249 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 5: I personally felt they had a chance to win it all, 250 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 5: and when Jordan went down, you knew they were going 251 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 5: to get punished for it a little bit. But that 252 00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 5: just speaks to his value as a player. But also 253 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 5: just seeing the crowd and seeing his team mates, you 254 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 5: got a sense for the person, like how deflating it was, 255 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 5: not just for his teammates, but the fans and even 256 00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:09,559 Speaker 5: as a scout, I mean, you feel terrible for the kid, 257 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,559 Speaker 5: knowing all he had accomplished, but you know, he's a 258 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:16,320 Speaker 5: kid that you know brought them to the top. You know, 259 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 5: Florida State was a team that had some kids come 260 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 5: in from the portal at skill positions. Johnny Wilson and 261 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 5: Keon Coleman and Jean Bell and Trey Benson, Like these 262 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 5: are all skilled players that they came in from other 263 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 5: schools and Jordan was the one that brought them all 264 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 5: together and really got that offense rolling. So he's a 265 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 5: kid like through the process you get to know him, 266 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,040 Speaker 5: and we got to meet with him at the East 267 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 5: West Game. I know he came out of thirty visit. 268 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 5: Coaches spent a lot of time with him, but like 269 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 5: you feel like this kid's got the intangibles that if 270 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 5: we're going to take a shot on a guy to 271 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 5: learn under Aaron and Tyrod, this this is the guy. 272 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 8: Physically, the ceiling is as good as really Jordan wants 273 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 8: to be. It's hard to really cap him because he 274 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 8: is such a good athlete. I think the situation that 275 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 8: he's coming into is excellent for any quarterback, but especially Jordan. 276 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,599 Speaker 8: You've got Aaron and then Tyrod, So for Jordan, I 277 00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 8: think it's a good situation. You can recover, sit back, 278 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 8: learn from two excellent NFL vets. 279 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: I've been with the. 280 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: Jets since two thousand and one and covered every draft 281 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 2: since then. The path of one quantest Stiggers to the 282 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 2: Jets is on paralleled. 283 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: This is a defensive back who. 284 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: Never played it down to college football. He played in 285 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 2: something called the Fan Control League, where seven players lined 286 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 2: up on each side. He ultimately played in the Canadian 287 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 2: Football League and then became draft eligible. Stiggers became a 288 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: Jet in round five. Here's Director of college Scouting John Carr, 289 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 2: Area scout. 290 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 1: Drew Morris, Senior regional. 291 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 2: Scout Jonathan Stiegel and National Scout Jay Manalisi. I'm the 292 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 2: kid with the blue helmet. 293 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 4: Great story right here, I mean this one. 294 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 3: I think a lot of guys that were so when 295 00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 3: we made the call to him, the different people that 296 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 3: talk to him on the phone when we. 297 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,640 Speaker 4: Made our selection. 298 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 3: There were so many people higling this young man because 299 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 3: of his story, right you know. 300 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 6: He I think he got overlooked some in high school. 301 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 6: You know, he accepted an offer to Lane College in Tennessee, 302 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 6: planned on attending there, and right when he had signed, 303 00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 6: his father was in a catastrophic car accident. Father later 304 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 6: passed away that summer. You know, contest has a big 305 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 6: family at home with a lot of siblings, and he 306 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 6: felt he was the man of the house because he 307 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 6: was the oldest of the siblings. So he needed to 308 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 6: go home and work through things to help his mom 309 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 6: out financially. So he did that. You know, he never complained. 310 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 6: He did everything there to help out. And I think 311 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 6: his mother just saw, you know, him still having the 312 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 6: passion to play. So that's when she looked into the 313 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 6: player Control Football, which is run by some former pro athletes, 314 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 6: and he did that and he stood out a Canadian 315 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 6: scouter coach had a tie down there with that and 316 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 6: noticed them, so they gave him a tria, you know. 317 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 6: Contest told me that, you know, he was going into camp, 318 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 6: you know, and hadn't played, but he was making plays 319 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 6: and he thought at one point they were going to 320 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 6: cut him, is what they had told him up there. 321 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 6: But he kept making plays and started starting and ended 322 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:21,720 Speaker 6: up winning the CFL Rookie of the Year. 323 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 3: And it worked out where, you know, he was able 324 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 3: to get on the East West Shrine through the rules 325 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 3: they said, he can you know, participate in the East 326 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,480 Speaker 3: West Shrine and be a draftaball type player. 327 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 9: I started hearing about quantest stiggers, probably from those guys 328 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 9: and some rumblings around the NFL and probably December at 329 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 9: the latest, like early January in terms of, hey, this 330 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 9: guy was the defensive Rookie of the year, not really 331 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 9: knowing the full story. Obviously, I'm a college guy. I 332 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 9: got enough college guys to worry about, and our pro 333 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 9: department is on the CFL guys. So then you come 334 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 9: and say, okay, well this guy got invited to the 335 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,720 Speaker 9: East West Shrine game. Okay, well, I guess based on 336 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 9: circumstances he's now in the college world. So we got 337 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,200 Speaker 9: to the East West Shrine game. I have the receivers 338 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 9: as a cross check position, so I'm obviously watching the 339 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:11,920 Speaker 9: receivers a lot of one on ones, a lot of 340 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 9: one on ones, and the guy in the Toronto Argonauts 341 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 9: helmet is standing out a little bit at corner, you know. 342 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 9: But I got a lot of receivers to watch. So 343 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 9: probably day two, I go up to John Stiegel and 344 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 9: he has the corners as his cross check position. 345 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 6: And I'm watching and I'm like, who is this guy 346 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 6: in this helmet that I've never seen before? And They're like, 347 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 6: that's the Canadian kid, and I'm like, okay. So I 348 00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 6: was kind of like all right, but then he kept 349 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 6: showing up making plays and I'm like, well, this kid's 350 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,199 Speaker 6: pretty good, you know. And Drew Moore says to me, 351 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 6: he looks pretty good. I'm like, well, he's the best here. 352 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 9: And then a little bit later, probably day three of that, 353 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,920 Speaker 9: I get a text, Hey, you're gonna be the primary 354 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 9: on quantest stickers. Based on the fact that he didn't 355 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 9: play college football. He doesn't really have a state that 356 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 9: he falls into for any of us, right, So, because 357 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 9: I have the CFL background. They assigned him to me. 358 00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 9: I've done a couple of the Canadian guys in the 359 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 9: past and just being able to get information. So actually, 360 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 9: luckily my buddy Vince, who's the assistant GM at the 361 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 9: Toronto Argonauts, is at East West Shrine. Should I shoot 362 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 9: him a real a quick text, Hey do you want 363 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 9: to meet after practice? And luckily again he's staying at 364 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 9: the same hotel as us, So after practice we meet 365 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 9: down in the lobby and spend about an hour going 366 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 9: over all the background on Quantes Stiggers. Obviously, his his 367 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 9: story has been well documented in terms of how he 368 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,600 Speaker 9: got here and through the Fan Control League, and they're 369 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 9: just sitting there like, wow, this is wild in terms 370 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 9: of all the things that he's overcome and and everything. 371 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 9: And it was amazing how strongly those guys in Toronto, 372 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 9: the coaching staff there, the administrators there felt about Quantest Stiggers. 373 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 9: I think you look at like Jeff albricks reaction after 374 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 9: spending you know, a day with that guy when we 375 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 9: had him in on a thirty visit, and that's the 376 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 9: way that the Toronto Argonaut staff felt about that guy. 377 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,280 Speaker 9: So this is a guy who's been through so much 378 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 9: adversity and has so much mental fortitude and come out 379 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 9: the other side so much better for it that, you know, 380 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:09,679 Speaker 9: we look at a guy like that and hey, this 381 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 9: guy is not going to fail, Like it's not in 382 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 9: his DNA to fail. Like every opportunity he's had, he's 383 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,760 Speaker 9: made the most of it. So you got to love 384 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 9: the story of Quantes Stiggers. And it helps that he's 385 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 9: a really good football player as well. 386 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 3: When you're looking at that, because CFL play is totally 387 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 3: different from the NFL play, right, and he had a 388 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 3: lot of success there, and so obviously you want to 389 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 3: see how's that translated into the to the league and 390 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 3: transferring to the league. 391 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 7: And. 392 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 3: A lot of that you saw in the one on 393 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 3: ones during the week, right and where he had to 394 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 3: play press coverage, sometime you had to play off coverage, 395 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 3: and you saw the feet, the quickness, the close the 396 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 3: ball skills opportunities he made there. So it showed that 397 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 3: he can do it on this level. He's covering guys 398 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,600 Speaker 3: that are going to have opportunities to play in the NFL, 399 00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 3: and he was a guy that kind of showcased in 400 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 3: the game him as well, you know, just as far 401 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 3: as his awareness, you have good eyed discipline, and so 402 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 3: it really helped him for having a good week. And 403 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 3: not only just the Jets, but I think all the 404 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 3: other thirty one teams had a lot of interest. 405 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 4: In this kid. 406 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 3: I think he took up several visits, you know, in 407 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 3: the month of March and April because of the traits 408 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 3: that everyone else saw. So it really helped him at 409 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 3: the East West Shrine and some of the good things 410 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 3: that he did. But the one on ones was really 411 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 3: big for us to be able to say, this guy 412 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 3: can do it. He can do it on our life. 413 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 5: The kids from Atlanta, so they sent me to his 414 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 5: workout at a high school on a Friday afternoon. Really 415 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 5: it's been a really unique process. But the kids checked 416 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 5: every box and Tony Odin got to work them out 417 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 5: and fell in love with them, and all the way 418 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 5: down to Bobby Mastrodi and Jeff Ulbrick. I mean, everyone 419 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 5: just loves this kid and the story is unique. But 420 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 5: to be honest with you, like, we don't we don't 421 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 5: care where they came from. We just look at the 422 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 5: player and we we evaluate them. 423 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,160 Speaker 1: And oh, so this is interesting. 424 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 2: You said you worked them out at a high school. 425 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was. 426 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:02,359 Speaker 5: It was an NFL regulated workout, you know, being that 427 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 5: he played in the CFL, I think there's some confusion 428 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 5: on where legally we can work him out. But because 429 00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 5: he's from Atlanta, his agent decided to find a high 430 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 5: school in Atlanta and they worked it with the Kennesas 431 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 5: State and Georgia Tech Pro Days. And I didn't know 432 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,879 Speaker 5: anything about Quantes, you know, John and Drew didn't a 433 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 5: lot of the leg work in John Carr and they said, hey, 434 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 5: since you're going to Georgia Tech, why don't you swing 435 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 5: over to this high school at three o'clock on a Friday. 436 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 5: And that's where all the scouts. 437 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,399 Speaker 1: What are you looking for at the workout? 438 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:30,600 Speaker 8: Is? 439 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 1: This is after East West, It was after. 440 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 5: The It was during the pro day circuit in March, 441 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 5: so it was after the East West. And you know, 442 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 5: he didn't get to go to Combine because of his 443 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 5: unique story, so this was his combine. So we you know, 444 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 5: a bunch of other scouts in the league were there. 445 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: There's how do you do it? The work hut? 446 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 5: It was great, It was great. 447 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 4: He did good. 448 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,560 Speaker 5: He was he was the only one there, so he uh, 449 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 5: you know, we had to kind of make sure he 450 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 5: caught his breath. I mean he he ran a forty, 451 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 5: walked back to the start and ran a second forty. 452 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 5: He didn't have like thirty guys in between. Yeah, but 453 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 5: there's coaches there. I've never been to a pro day 454 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 5: that they had at the high school, and I didn't 455 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 5: even think about it. We actually school was still in session, 456 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 5: so when we went to go do height and wait 457 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:13,240 Speaker 5: bench press, there's actually a gym class going on, and 458 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 5: so we did that. We went out to the field. 459 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,919 Speaker 5: I think school got dismissed, so a bunch of the 460 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 5: kids came out. It was it was really cool, you know, 461 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 5: seeing the support that he had.

And so for 519 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 3: him to get on there and get emotional, that was 520 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 3: pretty cool. 521 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 9: The impact that he had when he came into are 522 00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,440 Speaker 9: building on the thirty visit, and you see the reactions, 523 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 9: like I said, from all of those guys, in the 524 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 9: building where he's bringing guys to tears when we draft 525 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 9: this guy, multiple people to tears in the draft room. 526 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 9: Some of you guys saw on tape somewhere out in 527 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,360 Speaker 9: the hallway of that Like, is the most special part 528 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 9: about quantest Stiggers. And I think you just combine like 529 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 9: the person that he is and everything that he brings 530 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,880 Speaker 9: to the table, also with the aspect of, wow, this 531 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 9: is a really, really good football player even without the story. 532 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 9: So you take all those traits and then you put 533 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 9: in the can't fail type attitude that he's always brought 534 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 9: to his approach, and you see a guy who's going 535 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 9: to be really successful. 536 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 6: It's about as unique as it gets. I mean, the 537 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 6: feel good part of the story. I mean, this is 538 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,680 Speaker 6: something you know why I love scouting, you know, to 539 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 6: be able to be a part of you know, some 540 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 6: of these guys' stories and where they've come from and 541 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 6: how they've gotten there. I mean, his is very unique. 542 00:25:54,800 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 2: What is it about this kid that really capture a 543 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 2: lot of people in the organization as far as hey, 544 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 2: we want this guy to be here. 545 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 5: I think I think that you know, I don't want 546 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 5: to speak for Brick or Bobby, but I think it's 547 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,000 Speaker 5: the fact that this kid should not have been here, right, Like, 548 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 5: he goes to Lane College twenty twenty, he ends up 549 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 5: putting football because of you know, some personal things going 550 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 5: on his life, and at that point in his life, 551 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 5: I don't think the NFL was ever an option. Like 552 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 5: it's just the odds. You know, that kid making it 553 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,199 Speaker 5: to the NFL, we're really you know, extreme. And then 554 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 5: you know, he gets into this Fan Control League, and 555 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 5: I think the Toronto Argonauts deserve a lot of credit 556 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:36,239 Speaker 5: because they're the ones that kind of found him. From 557 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 5: the Fan Control League. He goes into the CFL. I 558 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,159 Speaker 5: don't think anyone knew of him at the time. He 559 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 5: ends up being Rookie of the Year. So again, like 560 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 5: I don't think he should have been in the CFL, 561 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 5: but he gets there and he makes the most of it. 562 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 5: I don't know that he should be in the NFL, 563 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 5: but I have a feeling he's going to get here 564 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 5: and make the most of it. Like the talent's there, 565 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 5: there's no question, don't get me wrong. But like, just 566 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 5: with his story and all that he has had to 567 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 5: go through, the odds were against him. And here's a 568 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,160 Speaker 5: kid that came out on top, and I think people 569 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,600 Speaker 5: spend fifteen minutes and they hear the kid. You know 570 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 5: what he's been through and how important this is to 571 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 5: him to make it. It's hard to bet against the kid. 572 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 2: We hope you enjoyed the Scouts Eye on the Jets 573 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 2: twenty twenty four draft class. There are a lot of 574 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: people who contribute to this project on the content side, 575 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,360 Speaker 2: but also we'd like to salute all the Jet Scouts 576 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:25,520 Speaker 2: under Joe Douglas. 577 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: We only talked to a few, but they all 578 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 2: Played their part in the making of this class.
