4
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: your footwork this offseason. Was that something that you identified

5
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 1: and said, if I want to get to the next

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: level and be a consistent NFL player, I've really got

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 1: to refine that. Yeah. You know, I just went into

8
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: this offseason just just attacking and just trying to improve

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: all fastest of my game, and um, that was one

10
00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: of them I thought that I had to improve on.

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: So that's that's one of my focused going a lot.

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you can you can you sense

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: it early in camp? Did you did make that improvement? Yeah,

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: definitely I feel a lot better. And then I slimmed

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: down a little bit, so, um, you know, those are

16
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: two things that that helps me a lot in those areas.

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: Thank you. Next up Henry mcinneth all by Mark Daniels. Nikkila,

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: I saw on social media that you've been doing about

19
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: to work with the Jared Stidham and Brian Hoyer and

20
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: Cam Newton. What were those offseason sessions like and how

21
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: do you think your relationship with them on and off

22
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: the field that is developing. You know, it helped a lot.

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: You know, just getting to go out there and throw

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: it to quarterbacks, especially during the offseason. Trying to build

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,639
Speaker 1: chemistry always helps a lot, UM, and you know it,

26
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: it also helped our off the field relationship. You know,

27
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: I knew Stidham and Hoyer more than a knew Cams,

28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: So I got to meet Cam a little bit this

29
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 1: offseason and getting on him as a person as well.

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: What did you learn about him? Sorry to follow up,

31
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: but you know he's a he's a hard worker, he's

32
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: a great player, and you know he brings a lot

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: of energy to the field. My next question Mark Daniels

34
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: fall by Ian Steal and to kill Hope Ball as well. Um,

35
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: what would you say you learned about yourself last year,

36
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: your first year in the NFL and what do you

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: feel like you have to prove putting into your second Um.

38
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 1: You know, I learned that in the NFL. You know,

39
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: you just have to prove yourself day in and day out.

40
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: This is a league where nothing is given to you

41
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: and you earned everything day by day. So that's my

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: approach coming into this season, and that's my approach stepping

43
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: on to the field every day. Thank you, Thank you.

44
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: Next question, Ian still fall by Love and read the heel.

45
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for the time today. I'm curious just your understanding

46
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: of the offense going into your second year. How much

47
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 1: is there to learn with this offense? You feel maybe

48
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: more comfortable now or is it still you know, a

49
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,399
Speaker 1: process for it. You know, there's a lot of things

50
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: about this offense, um, um that could be hard to

51
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: pick up at first. There's a lot of little details

52
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,959
Speaker 1: that um, a lot of guys don't have to pay

53
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: attention to in college. And you know, this second year

54
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: has helped me a lot, you know, just an offseason,

55
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: just getting to study some things and uh, you know,

56
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: knowing the offense a lot more so when I came back,

57
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: I felt very comfortable with it and and if it

58
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: get a second year guy Love and Read, followed by

59
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Joe Kiota any Kill. Thank you so much for doing this.

62
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 1: the off season to say, Okay, I know exactly what

63
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: I have to work on to be a better player

64
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: of the next season. You know, I was looking forward

65
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: to it. You know, really right after a playoff game

66
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,959
Speaker 1: last year, you know, I just took took about a

67
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: week or two off, just let my body recover, and

68
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: then you know, I was right back to it. Um.

69
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: I felt like it was a great opportunity for me

70
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: to get a step ahead, and you know, to just

71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,360

Speaker 1: a quick turnaround. You know, season starts in less than

75
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: a month. How important is it for you guys to

76
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: get clicking and get things going to make the most

77
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: out of this camp as soon as possible. You know,

78
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: it's it's very important that we're just going in stacking

79
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: the days, doing everything we can and really leaving it

80
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: all on the field every day, you know, because we're

81
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: we're even with every team right now. You know, we

82
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: all started out with a short camp. We all have

83
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: limits of time to get ready, so it's really on

84
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,440

88
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: takes time with us today. Just to follow up on

89
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,040
Speaker 1: a question earlier about the Cam Newton. What type of

90
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: impression did he make just you know, him coming into

91
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: a new situation like that to be in touch with you,

92
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: wanting to try and integrate himself right from the start.

93
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: You know, it means a lot to the guys, especially

94
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: when you got a new quarterback coming in and you

95
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: know it's important to build chemistry with all the quarterbacks. Um.

96
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: You know, they're all working hard, they're all busting their

97
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: ass every day. So having that, especially because we didn't

98
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: get to play with him and we have a shorter offseason,

99
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: you know, it helped a lot. Nexus Mike Reas fallowed

100

Speaker 1: You mentioned this offseason some of the works that you

102
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: did to get yourself in a better position, including slimming

103
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: down a little bit. What led you to want to

104
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: do that? Um? You know, I just felt like, uh

105
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: now I felt like I was a little bit big, um,

106
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: and you know, I just felt like slimming down a

107
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 1: little bit and and being a little bit more thin

108
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 1: would help me, like getting off the top of my

109
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: routes and you know, getting in and out of my

110
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 1: breaks and my releases. And is that is there a

111
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: number to quantify that for you? I mean a weight

112
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: like a two twenty five was where it was listed at.

113
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: Did you want to get down to a certain number. No,

114
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 1: it was more just like not lifting as much, um,

115
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: you know, just slimming down, uh, eating better. You know,

116
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,400

Speaker 1: didn't to kill uh. I know in the offseason you

119
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,080

120
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 1: the footworking and stuff like that. I just wanted to

121
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: ask you if you feel like that has helped you

122
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,200

129
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: to Ian Steel. Yeah, I do have a question, Um,

130
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 1: nikkiel you mentioned how you met with Cam and Jared

131
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: and Bryan in the offseason. I remember last year, before

132
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: your rookie year, you met with Tom Brady in an

133
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 1: early session as well. How similar or different were those

134
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: early sessions before the training camp started between you know,

135
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: this year and last year's Brady. Um, you know, it's

136
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: all work every time we take the field. Um. You know,

137
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks make sure they're doing everything they can to

138
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: to to throw a good ball, get good drops, and

139
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 1: work on their fundamentals. And it's the same for me

140
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: no matter what quarterback is out there. You know, I

141
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: got to focus on working on myself and and and

142
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: you know, making sure I'm ready and putting myself in

143
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: a position to make the catch and secure to catch.

144
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: We're the types of workouts similar were You're doing the
