1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: Freddy, I'm gonna tell you a story about how I 2 00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: started to play football. That's the friendly voice of Cowboys 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,600 Speaker 1: cornerback Jordan Lewis, number twenty seven in your program. He 4 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: was drafted by the Cowboys in twenty seventeen out of 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:19,080 Speaker 1: the University of Michigan, where he was an All American 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: and first team All Big Ten in both his junior 7 00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: and his senior year. He grew up in Detroit. I 8 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: was about four or five. I was jumping over the 9 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,640 Speaker 1: couches and stuff like that. Notice the distinction here, if 10 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: you will. He was jumping over the couches. You and 11 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: I were jumping on them. We didn't have a car 12 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,639 Speaker 1: at the time, so I mean we were pretty much 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: stationed there. You will walk back and forth to school 14 00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Jordan lived a young boy on 15 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: the east side of downtown Detroit, Michigan, with his mother, 16 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: Linda and his sister Cameron. They didn't have much but 17 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: each other, but Jordan was a happy, eager kid who 18 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: was busting at the seams to go be an athlete. 19 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: But how they're going to get there? My first time 20 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: ever playing like organized football, my mom my sister, they 21 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: walked me to the place to actually play organized football. 22 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 1: I played for the Roseville Broncos. This is probably a 23 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: mile and a half away, so we walked from home 24 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: to practice. Linda Lewis grabbed Jordan and Cameron and they 25 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: took a nice long family walk to the schoolyard about 26 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: a mile and a half away to see about the 27 00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 1: Roosevelt Broncos peewee football team. And walked up to the place. 28 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: I saw helmets and stuff like that. I'm like, I'm 29 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: about to play football for the first time. If you're 30 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: a kid who loves football, then walking up to a 31 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: schoolyard full of helmets and pads, it's Christmas without the tree. 32 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 1: My mom my sister was sitting in the car, you know, 33 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: lasting practice every day, every single day. Linda Lewis was 34 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: committed to her kids and with young Jordan obsessed with 35 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: football and practicing every day as a kid, his mom 36 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: found transportation got Jordan to practice, and his sister she 37 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,919 Speaker 1: was there too every day. My mom was a special 38 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: education teacher, so he was always patient. She taught us 39 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: how to be patient, understand what you gotta do, how 40 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 1: to solve The teachers I find are special, wonderful people, 41 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 1: so Linda getting a car and taking Jordan to practice 42 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: every day. I can understand. But his sister is even 43 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: younger than he is. How is she okay with life 44 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: in the car while her big brother practices football. At 45 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: an early age, me and my sister was really tight, 46 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: and I understood I needed her and she understood does 47 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: he needed me? Living with less than most, Jordan and 48 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: Cameron could either be a pain in each other's butt, 49 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: like many brothers and sisters, or they could love and 50 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: root for each other. Linda Lewis taught love and patience. Now, 51 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: how's Jordan's football career coming along? Before there was a draft, 52 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: you could size up a cowboy by three simple factors. 53 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 1: The crease in his hat, the bend of his brim, 54 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: and his unbending attitude a man.

You know, my cousins was 90 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 1: giving me a hard time about playing against the competition 91 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 1: I was playing against, and I'm just like, I want 92 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 1: to go to the best league. And Jordan was getting 93 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,040 Speaker 1: good at football, but with family all over Detroit, he 94 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: was quickly reminded that maybe the quality of football was 95 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: better on the West Side than the East Side, where 96 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: he and his family lived. My older cousins they were 97 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 1: tim was like, yeah, you're not take good. You're playing 98 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: with key is not on the turn of level with 99 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: my mom like, okay, we didn't show y'all. And then 100 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: I tell my mom said yeah, she was just like, 101 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: let's do something that that attested. Linda Lewis had been 102 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: watching Jordan play football since he was five. She knew 103 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: he was good and she had his back pretty cool. 104 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: So let's test it seven grade. I didn't play. Everybody 105 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 1: was so fast. I didn't play. Oh, his cousins may 106 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: have been right. From east side football to west side 107 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: football was a whole different animal, and Linda Lewis was 108 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: getting her kid to the other side of Detroit to 109 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 1: take on the competition. So now what, Jordan, I put 110 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: some more work kids. I ran track that year. The 111 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: following year I was the starting tale back. That was 112 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: really a big moments more where I was like, I 113 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,960 Speaker 1: can actually do this. Remember that part about special education 114 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: teacher Linda teaching Jordan and his sister how to overcome 115 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: their problems. Jordan didn't shrink from the competition. He went 116 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: to work and found a way to tap into all 117 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: those athletic skills and that speed. Just when his confidence 118 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:14,840 Speaker 1: was soaring, the competition found a loophole. Everybody was reclassifying. 119 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 1: Everybody was going to Gray Bay. We haven't mentioned it 120 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,760 Speaker 1: yet because it hadn't mattered to this point. But Jordan 121 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: Lewis was always a bit small. He was fast, and 122 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,239 Speaker 1: he was tough, but he was small. It was something 123 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 1: and he'd just always lived with. But now the other 124 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: great middle school athletes all around him were finding a 125 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,840 Speaker 1: way to give themselves another year to grow and get 126 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: bigger and better. Reclassifying in school is meant to help 127 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: kids who are struggling with their classes have a year 128 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,440 Speaker 1: to mature and to catch up, but it was being 129 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: abused by schools and families who were looking to get 130 00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: their kids into position to play sports at the highest levels. 131 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,039 Speaker 1: I'm small, I'm little, I'm going it's high school, and 132 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,359 Speaker 1: I'm just like, mom, can I reclassify? Because you know, 133 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: I'm thinking like I wasn't I was ready for it. 134 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 1: We're not never doing that. Do you remember that tender 135 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: age of thirteen or fourteen, how much your friends and 136 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: they could influence you or throw you off with just 137 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: a single comment. Jordan had been raised to overcome, but 138 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: his lack of size, at least for a moment, had 139 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 1: him feeling like he wasn't a knot. His mom quickly 140 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 1: squashed that notion. Besides, there were bigger fish to fry. 141 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 1: His mom was working, and he and his sister schedules 142 00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: were full. They had to figure out this whole transportation issue. 143 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 1: Sometimes we didn't have a car, sometimes she was at work. 144 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: We had to find another way, you know, to get 145 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: good school. So public transportation was the way time for 146 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: Jordan and Cameron to begin to really grow up and 147 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: take responsibility for getting themselves where they needed to be school, football, cheerleading, practice, 148 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: whatever it was. They needed to learn self sufficiency, and 149 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 1: they needed to learn it together. That's when we first 150 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: got into our routine. That's why I found the grind. Honestly, 151 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 1: if you still understand mentally, this is the process. The 152 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: grind oftentimes an athlete's description of what it takes to 153 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: get an education and play sports at the highest level. 154 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: Lynda Lewis had shown Jordan and Cameron how to grind 155 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: and to be patient and to make the most out 156 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: of every opportunity. But Jordan was the oldest. The grind 157 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 1: might be a bit much for Cameron. My system was 158 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: scared the first time. She didn't understand how to take it. 159 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: So sometimes I'd be late school trying to take her 160 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: to middle school. It made us better, He made us 161 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: well around it. Jordan had a good sister and Cameron 162 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 1: had a good brother too. Family and cooperation and love 163 00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: and then the grind realizing that you can do what 164 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: you need to do for yourself. Jordan is also becoming 165 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: a big time football talent. My question is is anyone 166 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: looking ahead when it comes to a career in football. 167 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: We never talked about it. She took him one step 168 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: of the time. We just put our blinders on and 169 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: just kept going on and kept progress and every level. 170 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 1: So like many well grounded but financially challenged families, the 171 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: Lewis has just kept putting one foot in front of 172 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: the other. But so much of this has been about 173 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: Jordan and allowing him to become the best athlete he 174 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: could be. How did he convince his sister to give 175 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: up so much? She loves her elder brother. Yeah, she 176 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: just loved being around me. She loved seeing me happy. 177 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: A tight knit family that had watched their mom offer 178 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: up everything she had to make them confident and capable 179 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 1: produced a loving brother and a loving sister. A lot 180 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: of people don't understand the bond if they've been through 181 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 1: so much with me, and you know, and I've been 182 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,439 Speaker 1: so much with them to see this stuff prospering, it 183 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: is this amazing. Jordan and his mom are very close. 184 00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 1: I got to see it up close and personal one 185 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: day last year when he did my ESPN radio show 186 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 1: with me. He brought Linda to the show and with 187 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: a bright smile, he introduced me, Brady, this is my 188 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: mom Linda. I could see the bond immediately. What a 189 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:31,080 Speaker 1: cool family. Now. Just appreciate him because if my sister 190 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: in that basis my mom and that pasience, I honestly 191 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 1: probably wouldn't be here. Linda Lewis is a special education 192 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: teacher and clearly a special mother. Cameron Lewis is the 193 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: sister that we all want and need. They're a special unit, 194 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: these three. Even though we had little than nothing. She 195 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: made sure that we had a wolf over our heads. 196 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: We knew that we can do whatever we wanted to do. 197 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 1: That feeling is a child that our family supports us 198 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: and we'll go the extra mile to make sure we 199 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 1: have every chance and happiness. At some point you realize 200 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: is that your family is why you made it.

Without them, it definitely wouldn't be me. Jordan 240 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,360 Speaker 1: is a good son and a good brother. He was 241 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 1: raised right and he never lost sight of who made 242 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: all this possible. So what does a good son do 243 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: for his mom and sister when he makes it to 244 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: the league. I told her I'm gonna get her house, 245 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: and he went on looking from the military all to day. 246 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: He did it. Linda raised an appreciative son, and he 247 00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: bought her a house. But make no mistake, Linda took 248 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: charge of this project and got the house she wanted. 249 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 1: And by the way, where is this house? Detroit? It's 250 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: around the same neighborhood that we grew up in. It's 251 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: like a gated community though, so it's kind of crazy 252 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,599 Speaker 1: light we grew up outside of the gated community. But 253 00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: if you know, listen to the same neighborhoods, you can 254 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:50,840 Speaker 1: hear the trail off there. In Jordan's voice, he bought 255 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 1: his mama house in Detroit, inside the gated community that 256 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 1: he and his sister had clearly lived outside of when 257 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: they were growing up. Hey, Jordan, you ever to sit 258 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,319 Speaker 1: down with Cameron and tell her how much you appreciate 259 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 1: what she gave up for you? Yeah, all the time. 260 00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 1: I tell her. I mean, I love her to death. 261 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 1: It's amazing. I mean a lot of people to never 262 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 1: do that. A lot of people have jealous hearted. A 263 00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 1: lot of people being know, just frustrating mad. But I 264 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: mean you never saw that with her. All of this 265 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: story contains so much love. It lifts me up, it 266 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: really does. Why did love just permeate everything that your 267 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: family did? Jordan, I don't know. We had a great mother. 268 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: She understood, you know what we need it. She understood 269 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 1: how to take care of us, and she understood that 270 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: we needed each other. Linda Lewis was a special bird, 271 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: as someone in my family used to say, she still is. Honestly, 272 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: he was from God divine invention, telling you this is 273 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: how we're gonna get out of this situation. So, I 274 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: mean it was. It's definitely a blessing. It's definitely amazing 275 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: to see where it got us. Jordan Lewis is always 276 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: bringing up his family and that they are his heart. 277 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: Thanks for sharing, Jordan, But I can't let you get 278 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: away without asking you about this new defense. Jordan Lewis 279 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: got here in twenty seventeen. Rod Marinelli was his defense 280 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,400 Speaker 1: a coordinator and he had a very traditional, safe way 281 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: of playing in the secondary. He added Chris Rashard in 282 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, and he thought Jordan was too small, and 283 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: then they were all gone and Mike Nolan was the man, 284 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: but that lasted a year. And now finally for Jordan 285 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 1: and all of us, dan Quinn, Joe Witt and Al 286 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: Harris have this secondary looking to make plays and they 287 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: are flourishing. So what's the key here, Jordan? Because dan Quinn, honestly, 288 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: he has a system to where he gets playmakers to 289 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: the ball. We had tried it. We gotta go out 290 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: there no matter what happens. Young, Oh, we gotta go 291 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: out there and perform if you want on that field. 292 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: Dan Quinn came in here and made the call to 293 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: keep Jordan Lewis this year, three years and sixteen point 294 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 1: five million dollars plus a new system that he brought 295 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: that finally plays football like Jordan Lewis was born to 296 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: play football. But why did everyone buy in this year? Jordan? 297 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: We just came together, ohtas and say you know this 298 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: is this is we want to do as a defense. 299 00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 1: I mean, all of our personalities is jailed at that point, 300 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: high character guys and guys and go out there and play. 301 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 1: It's a good thing, good combination of thing. That new contract. 302 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: Anne dan Quinn's view of how to best use this 303 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: multitude of talent. The cowboys of a master in the 304 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: secondary have helped Jordan take the next step in his career. 305 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: It has to make you better going against this group 306 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: of wide receivers too. Huh oh my god. We got 307 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 1: the best crew in football. So when you go up 308 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: against those guys when I wants you got the ultimate preparation. 309 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: Cedee Lambmary everybody Auto those guys from front to back. 310 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: Those guys can get it done. I think we all agree, 311 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: Amari Cooper, Cedee Lamb, Michael Gallup and now this kid 312 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 1: Wilson plus two headed monsters at tight end and running back. 313 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 1: Practice against those guys will make you better or will 314 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 1: break your spirit. We've seen it's not the latter for 315 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 1: Jordan and his mates in the secondary. But the guy 316 00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: everyone is seeing right now is Digs. Are you surprised 317 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: he's been a ballhawk since he's getting he's been here. 318 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 1: I mean he dropped like seven last year.

Jordan Lewis is now one 321 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: of the old heads on this defense, and he is 322 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: flourishing under his new role. With Dan Quinn and all 323 00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: those guys helping out in the secondary, this defense now plays, 324 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: as we've all noticed, unafraid, it's fun to watch.
