Last two, last two? How does it 6 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: feel to be one of the last two? Francs um? 7 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:32,879 Speaker 1: Feel special? Feel special? You know, we came in with 8 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: a lot of our guys. Mine. I don't want to 9 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: go down and list, but a lot of guys, you know, 10 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: we I believe it was a very tight knit group. 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: You know. You don't expect it to happen, you know, 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: for to be two guys left, you know after after 13 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: three or four years, you know, I've been in the NFL, 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,680 Speaker 1: in your class, but something that's just how it goes, 15 00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: you know. And at then, like I said, I feel special, 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: I still got you, so you know, it's no complaint. 17 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. The biggest thing that I learned is 18 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,319 Speaker 1: how to adapt. There's a lot of people that came 19 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: in with our draft class was our best friends. Kicked 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: it with them light outside of this, and it was 21 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,920 Speaker 1: like every year somebody else said left. You got to 22 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: learn how to be able to adapt and to be 23 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: able to understand that life may not always have them 24 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: to be around us. And you got to learn how 25 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,120 Speaker 1: to be big brothers to everybody else. So who's somebody 26 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: on the team that you've been a big brother too? Um? 27 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: I feel like guys like Roshane Green, Um, you got 28 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: a lot of guys like Jacob Martin, even on the 29 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: offensive side, guys like Penny Um. You know, just different 30 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: guys like that who you know. I don't feel like 31 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: necessarily that it needs guidance, but sometimes they can get 32 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: a little extra shove, you know, extra shove one hurt, 33 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: you know, just to push them to be great, or 34 00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: to push them to be something bigger than they can 35 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 1: see themselves as being. You know, I think that's the 36 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 1: main thing as far as being a big bro, not 37 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: always you know, being a person just to say, you know, 38 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: do this or do you're doing the wrong thing? But 39 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,760 Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta tell them when they're doing the right 40 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: thing too. All right, So looking at back at your 41 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: career in Michigan, not not when y'all lost their Kansas 42 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: stay in the boat, look, but looking back and comparing 43 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: it to where you are now, have you taken your 44 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: game to a whole nother level. Um. I think I 45 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: think one thing is confidence, then the next thing is 46 00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: just my preparation. Um, I feel like the preparations started. 47 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 1: You know, it starts in the off season. You know, 48 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: that's where you you know, through your workouts, to your drills, 49 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: through whatever you're doing. That's where you got to be 50 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: able to visualize and see yourself and your success. After 51 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: you got to visualize, you know, I see myself getting 52 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: a strip sack as I'm working through this drill. I 53 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: see myself getting the sack to end the game or 54 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: to win the game, you know, to close it out 55 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: after horror fought victory. You know, these are things you 56 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: got to see as you're working out. And I think 57 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: the visual part is more, you know, um, just as 58 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,960 Speaker 1: important as the mental part, just seeing yourself being in 59 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: a position to make those plays and seeing yourself, you know, 60 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: in those positions to be great. So you talked about 61 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: the off season, So when you're away from football, where's 62 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 1: one of the most remarkable places that you have visited? Um, Hawahy. 63 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: As cliche as that may sound, Um, Hawahy. I think 64 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. 65 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: I've been to the Dominican re public Is where I 66 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: went there with Sharon who his wedding. That's a great place. Um. 67 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: I just think it's different because you get to see 68 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,639 Speaker 1: different other cultures, you know. And the one thing I 69 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: want to continue doing I try to everybody else to 70 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: do is just to travel. Now.

But you know that takes away 78 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: from the experience, That takes away from the actual experience 79 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: and to learn and you know, we get from actually 80 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: going to these places and actually you know, working with 81 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 1: different native groups or working with different communities within these places. 82 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: So where's one of the places that you want to 83 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: go that you haven't been to yet?

Just that phrase there, you know, those 123 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 1: two simple words, keep going. I feel like at the 124 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 1: end of the day, in life and whether we're athletes 125 00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,679 Speaker 1: or you want to pursue you want to be a teacher, 126 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: educated and to be a coach. You know, you want 127 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: to be a reporter or a famous reporter. You want 128 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: to be a you know these different things that we 129 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,559 Speaker 1: got in life. You know, across all board, you're gonna 130 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 1: be brung down, You're gonna be told you're not gonna 131 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: do it, You're not gonna make it, you can't be this, 132 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: you can't do that. You're gonna get told. You're gonna 133 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: hear a can a lot, you know, and through hearing it, 134 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: you know the cans and the cans. I feel like 135 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: you just gotta keep going. So like, if you keep going, 136 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: you ignore all the or the outside influences, whether it's 137 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: good or bad. You stick to yourself and you stick 138 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: to the planet you have for yourself and you ignore 139 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: the influences and you keep going on your path. I 140 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: feel like that's where you get to where you want 141 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: to be. Wherever you're that that state of happiness is 142 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: for you. It don't matter if it's reaching a million dollars. 143 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 1: It can be reaching a thousand dollars and having your 144 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: house paid off and you know, having a decent job 145 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: to bring home, you know, food for your family on 146 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: the table. But I feel like it's when you reach 147 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:27,919 Speaker 1: your place of happiness, and you do that by just 148 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: keep going. You reach your place of happiness but makes 149 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: you happy. And I feel like that's when you you know, 150 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: that's that's when the that's when the truth comes out, 151 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: you know, that's when it's when you're really motivated. When 152 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: you keep going, you just keep going.
