1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:01,319
Speaker 1: Good day.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 2: Two really good players that fit us and you know,

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,239
Speaker 2: talent match the need with both of 'em.

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 1: Juju big, tall, athletic corner.

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: Excited, really excited to get him. Had a couple of

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,479
Speaker 2: really good years at Kansas State. It's got a great

7
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: character bonus that he's local from here in Warren. You know,

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: won't be ready until training camp cause of the wrist,

9
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 2: but he'd be able to run and and do things.

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: He just can't punch with it, but he'd be good

11
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: to go. We feel good about it. And then been

12
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 2: able to get Josh Down's that was a bonus. We

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: didn't really didn't expect him to be there. We actually

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: tried to move up for about thirty minutes to try

15
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 2: and get him and we just couldn't get up.

16
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 1: But really excited about him.

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: I actually Chad Henry and Morocco had you know, s

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: glow well glowingly about not only the talent but the

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: character the young man. But he's a he's a really

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 2: good fit. Gives us a knee, gives us an inside.

21
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: I think we think he can play inside and outside.

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: But he's fast and smart and great with the ball after,

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,919
Speaker 2: you know, great after the catch, really high character. Probably

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 2: one of the best phone calls I think I've had

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: since I've been here, making a call, emotional, excited.

26
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: You can tell he's got a little chip on him. Anyway,

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: fare away.

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 2: Reddy, Josh said, Reggie kind of threw on him in

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: the combine and told.

30
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: Him he's the best one in Greson. Yeah. Yeah, Regg

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: came in.

Speaker 2: Actually was down on the field cause I've been I

33
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: was watching the quarterbacks down on the field throw and

34
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: Reggie came over and said, man, it's Josh downs.

35

Speaker 1: He said, he has just had it was incredible, so

36
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: and he did. He had a great workout. You could

37
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: see he's got a powerful lower body.

38
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: He's not a you know, even though he's a hundred

39
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: and seventy one pounds, when you see his lower body,

40
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: he's got a real thick got really thick thighs and quads.

41
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: So he's got some strength in his lower body and

42
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: power in his lower body.

43
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,399
Speaker 1: At Yeah.

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: Now, it was uh yeah, I mean we had had

45
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 2: some you know, we wanted to add more speed, and

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 2: whether he was, you know, with the size at the

47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: end of the day really didn't matter. But he is

48
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: a good compliment and that's a good call by you.

49
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: He is a good compliment to what we have.

50
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: Ye and yes, yes, we all liked him.

51
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: We were all on board with him.

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: And hard not to be. I watched him play against Duke.

53
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: I was actually watching Sam how a year ago when

54
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: they played Duke, and I think he caught eight for

55
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: like one sixty eight at a huge game.

56
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 1: His kid's a good play He was a good football player.

57
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: The teachers down, Uh just kind of felt like you

58
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: were gonna have people left on your boards.

59
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. We I mean we you know, more shots. You know,

60
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,399
Speaker 2: we picked up some extra picks. I think how many

61
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: we have tomorrow are eight.

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: H eight, So we got eight picks tomorrow. Uh. We

63
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 1: think there's still some really good players. We've done really

64
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:21,799
Speaker 1: well in.

65
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: That fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh round area and excited about

66
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 2: it when you were making those whose down was the

67
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: juju kind of guy who just kept an eye on that.

68
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: How did you feel like he was the last all

69
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: we had about a probably a target. There's probably five

70
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: or six guys on the board, and you know, when

71
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: we kept move when.

72
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 2: You just have that much depth on the board, We're like, okay,

73
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 2: we can still move down and get a player.

74
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: We really likes.

75
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 2: Good that that's at a position we needed to add

76
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: a player. But we we we would have gone another

77
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 2: position if he'd have gone so but we we liked

78
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: the talent, you know, at that level. As we kept

79
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: moving down, then the ability to add you know, the

80
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: extra pick, especially the extra fourth where we think there's

81
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: some pretty good players.

82
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,720
Speaker 1: Uh, we thought that value was too good to pass up.

83
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: With the first three picks, you went kind the tight quarterback,

84
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 1: whether that was a player quarterback or a receiver. Does

85
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: that kind of open you up a little bit? Torow

86
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: it does you still have? Yeah? It does. It does

87
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 1: open us up. We'll start we'll s we'll start taking.

88
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: You know it like you don't wa especially when you

89
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: get in the fourth, fifth round, you don't wanna pass

90
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: up one that you got a little higher on. Or

91
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 2: you just take the player even no matter the position,

92
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 2: just take 'em. Then you offensive line, huh, what what

93
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: are you trying to accomplish?

94
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: Maybe the rest of the way I know you're not hu.

95
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: I can't give that away, but I'll tell you this.

96
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 2: We do think there's depth, Okay, we do think there's

97
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,919
Speaker 2: depth at that position, and we think there's depth on

98
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 2: the d line too.

99
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: How allens as a hard turner.

100
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll definitely give him a shot. We got Isaiah

101
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: McKenzie too, we signed who's really good at so we

102
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 2: think we'll have good depth there.

103
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: Yeah.

104
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, there's not a lot of guys

105
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: six ' three playing corner in you know, in the league.

106
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: But he is a really good athlete. He's a really

107
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 1: good fit for what we wanna do.

108
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: Cause he's a press corner, so we do wanna play

109
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: a little more press coverage and we think he's gonna

110
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: be really good at it. He's he's got some unique tray.

111
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: He's a really good athlete and can change. For a

112
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,160
Speaker 2: tall kid, he can really change directions. So now we're

113
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: we're excited about it. We think he's a really good

114
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: fit for the defense.

115
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: Players that.

116
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, I mean, look, both of these kids, like

117
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: when you get when you get guys with talent who

118
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 2: love to play and you know, have good toughness and

119
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 2: mental toughness, which we think both of 'em do. They

120
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 2: usually hit their ceilings and we think both these guys

121
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: got good ceilings. I know they got a good floor,

122
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: but we think they got really good ceilings.

123
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: How do you see job or those use his playing

124
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,040
Speaker 1: in that wing fand to advantas in college.

125
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: Well, I mean you can look at I'm trying to

126
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: think at games, but like he was really good at

127
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: the Senior Bowl. We thought they had a really good

128
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 2: week at the Senior Bowl. And he has his a

129
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: like even the four or five O. Alright, so when

130
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: you're six three, there's a different It gives you an

131
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: advantage down the field cause you're not throwing over a

132
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: five nine, five ten guy.

133
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: You're throwing over a six three guy. That looks different

134
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: to a quarterback.

135
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 2: Your job, his dad played the league, you play in

136
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 2: your buildings, cross bases and all or is that something.

137
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: It was brought up your Morocco brought it up. I

138
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: think they have, you know he's at some point they have,

139
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 1: but not me. No, I have it.

00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,200
Speaker 2: about what these kids are going through and then they

152
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: get trashed, But those moments for them, those are those

153
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: are kind of life changing moments that you've been dreaming

Speaker 1: And there it's it's cool to see.

157
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: I told couple of the quarterbacks that came in, we've

158
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: visited with 'em about you know, someone were ner, little

159
