All Right, thanks Stacy, 107 00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: Hi Kendrick, welcome to New England. And you talked about 108 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: the hard work ethic here and what Wes Welker and 109 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo told you about the Patriots. You're a guy 110 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: that a lot of teammates said brought a lot of 111 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: energy and a real positive vibe to the locker room 112 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 1: and on the field for the Niners. What made you 113 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: believe that the Patriots were not only a good fit 114 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: stylistically on the field in terms of that culture, but 115 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: also with your personality a person and player you are overall. Yeah, man, 116 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: I thought, like when I came in the building the 117 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 1: first time, I thought I was gonna be all stuck up, 118 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,119 Speaker 1: kind of like trying to see how it would feel 119 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,039 Speaker 1: everybody looking at me, coaches me. But it was a 120 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: whole misconception. Man. You know they're relaxing there, They're laid back, 121 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 1: having fun, you know what I'm saying. But they know 122 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: how they want to look. They know that they want 123 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: the romansiztion to be serious, you know, excellence, But you 124 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: know behind closed doors. It is relaxed, it is fun. 125 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: It is you're there's laughing in there, like and I 126 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 1: was just like, man, I was tripping. I thought I 127 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: was gonna be We're gonna be be myself. But first 128 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: day in the Bill, you know, Bill was super cool, 129 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: Robert Kraft super nice, and I just had a whole 130 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,480 Speaker 1: different view of the Patriots in my head. So like, 131 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: it's a happy medium. You know, you can you can 132 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: be a joke, you can be cool, but we know 133 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: we work hard here like this this outweighs the silliness 134 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 1: like the hard work. So um, I kind of got 135 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: the happy medium. I know when to you know, turn 136 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 1: it off a little bit. I could relax, and I 137 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: know when it turn on. Okay, it's time to be serious, 138 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: time to work. You know, we gotta win this game, 139 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 1: or we gottack out this workout. We got to knock 140 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: out this weight room workout, whatever it may be. I 141 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 1: know how to flip that switch, you know, because football 142 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: is meant to be fun, and that's the main thing. 143 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: So if you straight away from that completely, you know, 144 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: what are we planning for? You know, what what are 145 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 1: we doing is for? That's my thing about it. So 146 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: I was. I was happy when I got into build, 147 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: and I've seen people be relaxed, people are laughing Bill. 148 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: You know, he's just a cool guy.

You know. 171 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,920 Speaker 1: And the other question is it was tough my rookie 172 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: year coming into organization, trying to learn and stuff like that. 173 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: When I came into the building, you know, they kind 174 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: of took us some meetings and stuff like that, and 175 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,959 Speaker 1: it was just better. I could feel that I'm more comfortable. 176 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: I know I can process a playbook quicker because I'm 177 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: familiar with football and stuff like that. So I my 178 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: rookie year, I really struggled. You know. I was looking 179 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: at the build board, like, dude, this often is learning 180 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: is science to me. I can't handle this. And honest 181 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: know this year, you know, with the new team, I'll 182 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: be able to process what's going on quicker. Man. I 183 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,839 Speaker 1: just being a pro, being a four year guy, Like 184 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 1: it's just different now all football is the same. I 185 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: feel like it's just different terminologies between teams.

You know, guys who have 213 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 1: come in here the first year sometimes the harder in 214 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: the system. But just all the options you have, did 215 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: they talk to you It all about that, just their 216 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: experience being in the system here, specifically the playbook. Um, 217 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: they have a specifically playbook. They told me that, you know, 218 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: practices are hard. You know you're gonna get tested every 219 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 1: day with the playbook stuff like that. You know, they're 220 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: gonna give you different loves, different types of things you 221 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: need to see. Um. But my, when I Bill told 222 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: us a story like about Randy Moss. You know how 223 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: he came in and all he did was focused on 224 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: the playbooks, simple as that, you know, and he had 225 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: his best years. So that's what I'm gonna focus on. 226 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: You know, if I can go out there comfortable knowing 227 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 1: exactly what I need to do, I know I would 228 00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 1: be successful. You know, I believe in my game that much. 229 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 1: So I think it's just an awesome. It's gonna be 230 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: awesome year. Man. The guys they put around as the 231 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 1: guys they're bringing in, it's gonna blue well. So I 232 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 1: think it's just masally mainly the offense with me, man, 233 00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: you know that's what anybody, you know, the whole team. 234 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: If we know what we're doing exactly, there won't be 235 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: many mistakes. So I think it's all on that. Hey, 236 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: thanks for best lad, Thank you all right. Next question, 237 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 1: Phil Perry follow out Evan Lazar They Crank Kendrick. Welcome 238 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: to New England. I wanted to follow up about the 239 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: quarterback situation. You mentioned your respect for Cam Newton. He's 240 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: on a short term deals. He's on a one year 241 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,600 Speaker 1: contract here, so I just wanted to ask you, when 242 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 1: you're weighing where you want to be for hopefully the 243 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: next several years, when you were weighing it last week, 244 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 1: how did the quarterback situation here in New England impact 245 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: your decision. I really didn't think about the quarterback situation, 246 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 1: you know, it's more the organization who they are, you know, 247 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: I know they thinking about their future also, but I 248 00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: believe in Cam Newton at the end of the day. 249 00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: You know, I didn't go looking around who was the 250 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,880 Speaker 1: starting quarterback here? You know, the NFL's NFL. I believe 251 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 1: everybody's good. I just think it takes that right place, 252 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 1: right time, right coaching and stuff like that. So New 253 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: England know what they're doing. You know, they picked him 254 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 1: for a reason. They believe in him. One year deal, 255 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 1: it is what it is. You know, all it takes 256 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 1: is one year to become who you want to be. 257 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: And I think he has another opportunity and that's all 258 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: that matters. So I think he's gonna ball out. You 259 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: know what, the weapons they brought in, the help now 260 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: and you know, it was just one of those rebuilding 261 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: years that they went through and stuff like that, and 262 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 1: he was a part of it. So people may say 263 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: he not looked this good, he looked bad or whatever 264 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: it may be. But now he has some help and 265 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: they know what they're putting around him, which is awesome. 266 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: So I just want to be a part of you know, 267 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,480 Speaker 1: five touchdowns, ten touchdowns for him and change the narrative. 268 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 1: And two final questions. Evan Lazar and Jim McBride go ahead, Evan, Hey, Kendrick, 269 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: Welcome to New England. I just wanted to follow up 270 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,840 Speaker 1: a little bit on Andrew's question actually about the playbook 271 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: and just wondering if you've gotten a chance to look 272 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: at the playbook or dive into the playbook at all. It's, 273 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: you know, something that a lot of people talk about 274 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 1: that's complex for wide receivers in particular. So I'm just 275 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: curious if you had any initial oppressions. Yeah, yeah, I did. 276 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: They you know, I got my playbook, so like that 277 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 1: on the business, I got all things I need just 278 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: to get ahead, start you know, building them. They're they're 279 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: on it, man. Like I said, this is gonna be 280 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: the biggest thing me knowing a playbook. So I'm actually 281 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: out here and so cow with Jared Steinham and we're 282 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,360 Speaker 1: gonna we're gonna throw and stuff like that. So he's 283 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: gonna just give me some tips, help me out, and 284 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: we're just gonna work out, you know, for a week 285 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,559 Speaker 1: and it's just gonna be awesome. Man. So things like that. 286 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: It's gonna get me right man. And the offense, it 287 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: probably is complex. You know, I haven't seen the whole playbook. 288 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: I haven't seen everything. But football is hard. Everything about 289 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: football is hard. Playbook, playing, competing, everything hard. So you 290 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,240 Speaker 1: just gotta have that mindset. You know, I'm a hard worker. 291 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 1: I do this work. Ethic has to be through the roof. 292 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,079 Speaker 1: I was telling my family, you know in New england's 293 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 1: not this, It's not no joke. This is I'm taking 294 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 1: this serious. You know, they're serious inness building and I 295 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: want to I want them to take me serious. I 296 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: want the respect. I haven't earned anything yet, I haven't 297 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: done anything yet. All I got was a you know, 298 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,400 Speaker 1: a word on the media saying I got this much 299 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: money and I haven't made no money. So I gotta 300 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: go earn the money. And that's the thing about it, man. 301 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 1: So I'm excited for the journey next these next three years. 302 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 1: I just gotta make it count because it can. It 303 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: can help me for the rest of my life. When 304 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: you're in San Francisco or a lot of your routes 305 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 1: option routes, you know, based off the coverage and stuff 306 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: like that, and are you familiar with that sort of 307 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: style of route running, Um, yeah, I wasn't. I really 308 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 1: wasn't the choice runner like that. You know, I wasn't 309 00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: the main guy running choice. But I am familiar with 310 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 1: the coverages, the leverages, what defenses are trying to do. 311 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: So I know what you're saying, because New England is 312 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 1: kind of an option route team. You know, we if 313 00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: he's outside, we go another way. So it's just certain 314 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: things they do that I fit in well that I 315 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: just need to no coverages, know the playbook and so 316 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: I can make the right adjustments when the defense is 317 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: playing a certain way. Thanks Kendrick, welcome again to New England. 318 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: Thank you. And it looks like we have a two 319 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: final questions.

How quickly did things progress 324 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 1: once you got that initial call from your agents that 325 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: the Patriots were interested?
