44
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: two forced fumbles the last two years, led the team

45
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: in sacks both of those seasons. Second team all SEC

46
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: last year. What would you say are the strengths of

47
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: your game? And are there any players that you know

48
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: you look up to or or try to model your

49
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: game after for sure?

50
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: Honestly, Uh, he plays for the Cleveland Browns right now,

51
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: Miles Garrett being one of them. Yeah, another one being

52
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: Matthew to Don and uh, you know Carara Jorans another

53
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: one of those all time great defens evans. So, like

54
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 2: I said, definitely coward. Just you know the Byington will

55
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: be dominated, you know, so want to be the best, truthfully,

56
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: And I said, put my best before going and work

57
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 2: each and every day to accomplish those things.

58
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: Well when you put on the tape, especially going against

59
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Broddick Jones, who went very early in this draft out

60
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 1: of Georgia, you had I think some very impressive performance

61
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 1: in that one. How much confidencees that give you that

62
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: you know you've done it against one of the guys

63
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 1: that this league evaluated to go very very early in

64
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: this draft and know, by the way, somebody you're going

65
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: to see in Pittsburgh now a couple of times a year.

66
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 2: Like I said, definitely cool man. Like I said, that's

67
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: that's the beauty of the SEC. Honestly, you know, when

68
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: you're going against the draft prospect, you most likely gonna

69
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: play them the game at the next level, the NFL. So,

70
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: like I said, it's gonna be real fine. Like so,

71
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: I'm just really excited to get to work, Zaire.

72
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: The airport here in Cleveland's called Cleveland Hopkins Airport. Have

73
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: you ever touched down in Cleveland Hopkins Airport? And have

74
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: you been to this area region before?

75
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: I've never even been to the state of Ohio. So

76
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: it's definitely gonna be an exciting to them, for sure.

77
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: Change the scenery, for sure, it.

78
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: Will be well. I know that it does occasionally snow

79
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 3: in Missouri, so you can deal with that. But I'll

80
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: be the force to fore warn you that definitely get

81
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 3: yourself a winter coat because you'll need one at some point.

82
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 3: But with that in mind, though, man, with that thought that, hey,

83
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be in an environment where there's truly four seasons,

84
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 3: have you started preparing yourself. And I know it's quick,

85
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: you just got drafted, but have those spots to run

86
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: through your mind of how am I gonna get myself

87
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: prepared mentally to deal with the different seasons that will

88
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: take place here?

89
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: Honestly, I'm for Oklahoma. I doubt too many people know

90
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: you know the state of Oklahoma, but we get all

91
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 2: types of weather everything except the hurricane. So I definitely

92
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: know what it feels like to have a really hot

93
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: summer a really cold winter. I'm gonna follow spring. So,

94
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: like I said, just definitely excited man, and being in

95
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: Missou again used to being able to adapt any situation

96
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,520
