2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 2: I feel like it's gonna have to grow on me

3
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 2: a little bit, but it's feeling good right now.

4
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: You said a lot fifty one pretty much what we

5
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,559
Speaker 1: had available, so so it was a good number, is

6
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: ceter Could you change it for the regular season?

7
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: Oh, that's pretty much said. I'm just happy to be

8
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 2: out here playing football. That's what in my mom world.

9
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 2: That's all I'm worried about.

10
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: What's it like?

11
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like it really hit me today, like

12
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: being out here playing football, working with the guys, Like

13
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 2: just being on the field, like I'm here, like I admitted

14
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: to the NFL, but I've also got to keep on working.

15
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: But I'm loving it. What do you have a feeling

16
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,880
Speaker 1: you want to show the coaches that you happen to

17
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: have shown it? Probably like more leadership ability?

18
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: Uh. I feel like in college I've shown that a

19
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,360
Speaker 2: little bit, but just taking that next step, continuing growing

20
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: as a leader.

21
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: I feel like, how much is Penn State prepared you

22
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: for this opportunity? Can kind of handle it really well? Yeah?

23
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: They prepared me a lot, like more than I can

24
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: think them for, like just them being there my last

25
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: three years growing as a football player, but not just that,

26
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: just growing as a man in general.

27
00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 1: So they helped me a lot. I do a few

28
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: met Brian Burns and Cavon Pipoteau. Yet, yes, what have

29
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: you talked shot with them yet?

30
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: No, we haven't get a chance, like to really chop

31
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 2: it up. It's really just mostly the rookies in here.

32
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: But I did meet them. They said, what's up to me?

33
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 2: You know, give me a good gree just told me

34
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: to put my head down, just keep working. What's what's

35
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: one of the first things you want to ask them

36
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: about the scheme and how to be successful. I feel

37
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: like I probably wouldn't asking me that more just watching,

38
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 2: just sitting back, watching and seeing what they do they have.

39
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: It's things like things I can pick up on just

40
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: grow from there. What's straight ye have practice today?

41
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,800

Speaker 1: It kind of like stuck with you a little bit.

45
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 2: I would just say, just speaking about the Giants history,

00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: You're working with a couple of different groups here today.

58
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 2: Do you feel any added pressure because of how versatile

59
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: you are to pick up the entire defense?

60
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: No, I pretty much did the same thing since I

61
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: got to Penn State. They moved me around.

62
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: Since I was a freshman, played linebacker edge, lina, been

63
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 2: side on guardstack, So I pretty much been doing this since.

64
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: My freshman year. At the NFL level, on day one, Nah,

65
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: it's all good, all good so far. Are you one

66
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: of those guys that has a hard time when the

67
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: coach says, all right, you're gonna be out. You're not

68
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: gonna be in on seven on sevens today. That's sitting

69
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 1: on the sideline not wanting.

70
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: To be out there competing now whatever they feel his best.

71
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna listen to what they say. So whatever you

72
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,679
Speaker 2: tell me to do it, so I'm gonna do just

73
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: do my job.

74
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: Are you working on past protecting over there? A little bit?

75
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,480

76
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: also being confident. Yeah, there's definitely like a silver lining

77
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: in there. I was like, A, I don't know.

78
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 2: I feel like if you listen to the people around you,

79
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 2: like the people that you trust and love, they had

80
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 2: to tell you like, okay, you gotta calming down a

81
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: little bit, or like it's it's definitely a fine line there.

82
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 2: I'll try not to cross it too much.

83
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,239
