Because you're living the 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.600 life man. You are an an NFL veteran. You've been 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:36.880 in the league for a few years, so you can 0:02:36.919 --> 0:02:39.200 watch it from a different perspective here in greens and 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.639 I work in the National Football League, but we are 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.320 not playing. Yeah, a lot a lot of is accurate, 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:51.600 some of us kind of kind of like that one happens, like, yeah, 0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.480 some of it, some of it. A A lot of is accurate, 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.919 though more so off the field though that on the 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.040 field obviously, because you just said that you don't like 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:01.520 the way the football looks because they don't have real athletes, 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.960 so it just makes it look corny. But but yeah, 0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:10.520 like the off the field dramas like entourages and it's real. 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:12.840 Oh yeah, you see a lot of that. That's not 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:16.640 the way you roll, though. You don't roll with a Yeah, yeah, 0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:20.359 I'm solo. Why don't you tell folks at home where 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.120 they can follow you on the Instagram? Because follow me 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:27.360 at a Williamson fifty four Instagram and Twitter? Yeah, because 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.880 you have a nice new toy and that's the jeep. Yeah, 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.519 I can't drive it right now. It's a shiny toy 0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:37.760 on the shelf. Yep, okay, yep. So I can't drive 0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:39.760 it just sitting there looking at it. So why do 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.480 you decided to go with the jeep? And what kind 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:45.360 of bells and whistles I wanted? I wanted the vehicle 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.520 that was gonna, you know, be good in all conditions. So, uh, 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:51.640 that want something that was you know you could uh 0:03:51.960 --> 0:03:54.800 take the top off and everything. You get the jeep. 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:59.640 So the bells and whistles, Um, got TVs in the 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:05.040 bad got the system you gotta have, especially if the 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.560 doors are are you are you're planning on making it 0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.160 like like where you can take the top off and 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:12.960 basically there are no doors. So I got different doors. 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.600 I got a different set of doors where it's like, um, 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.000 it's pretty much just like a couple of bars, oh 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.680 I got yeah. Yeah, so it looks like an off 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.479 road yeah. So, um, you have some nice tires on 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:29.000 that one. That's some nice tires. No, that is that's 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:33.080 not the smoothest. It's not. It's not because it's jacked up. 0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:39.520 So so you feel you feel everything? Okay, look, but 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:41.839 but have you have you been a passenger in the 0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.920 car yet? I have. Yeah, so who's been hurt? Okay, 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:48.679 So who have you allowed to drive? The g that 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:51.360 that personally Well, I'm just saying that. I can't say 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:57.000 the person that was driving, but they did a good job. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.600 Were you nervous? I was, okay, because if I were 0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:03.080 in your shoes and I was a passenger in a 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:06.520 new car of mine, I would have a very shortlist 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.559 of people that would drive me around here. Yeah, people 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:12.240 that I trust, one of them being my pops because 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:14.240 he taught me how to drive. So I'm in a 0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:17.239 car typically like to drive. Yeah, I just don't feel comfortable, 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:22.120 like yeahs at home? Yeah, as a passenger. Oh yeah, 0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.800 I'm I'm I'm picky about that. You know, Green's grew 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:27.479 up in the city. So this guy gets after you 0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:34.040 know those Manhattan drivers. Yeah, you would think you, You 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.320 would think you. On the outside, it seems like, oh yeah, 0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:38.760 he's a nice guy's relatively laid back. Then he gets 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:42.040 in a car. Oh yeah, he's all over the place. 0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.840 He was doing this in Indianapolis where he took over 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.560 what what what car would happened? You talk about two 0:05:49.600 --> 0:05:52.720 years ago a rental? Okay, two years ago? You know 0:05:52.760 --> 0:05:57.440 what a Nissan Armada looks like it's a tank. It's 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.800 like it's I'm trying to I'm trying to think what 0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.800 it would be equivalent to. It's basically like it's the 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.960 biggest Nissan Stuv they have, and for whatever reason, we 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:09.919 had it. And we pull up to the hotel to 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.800 drop our stuff, not the hotel, the convention center to 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.120 drop our stuff off as they're yearly tripper annual trip 0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:18.560 to Indianapolis for the combox, and one of one of 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.839 the producers is like, here, just just parked the car, 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.440 so that I became the car guy and I got 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.920 I got excited, you know, whatever I want, city on 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.000 the nice people in Indianapolis, you know. But I did. 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.240 I did well. Someone would know someone's crossing the street 0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.680 and they weren't supposed to, so instead of stopping and 0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:37.839 letting the person cross, I humped to say listen, like 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:41.240 we're in a tank, get out of the way. They 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:45.640 flipped me off. Yeah it's different, different, Yeah, they flipped 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.520 me off. And then I remember we were going to 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.719 dinner and there's a spot and I'm like, no, no, 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.159 we can fit in the spot. And he was like, 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:56.760 you're not fitting in the damn spot. It was good. 0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.320 It's a good time. It's different. It's different yet well, yeah, 0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:03.960 like when you're going to city, you drive, I used to. 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.640 I drove like, no, I ain't droving thee I drove 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:11.800 my my Camaro. Last time I drove was like in 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:16.960 the summer. Yeah, what year is a Camaro? Okay, how 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:22.640 many miles you got on? That's so now you kept 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:25.679 it though, Yeah, so so you got the big Jeep 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:27.960 and the sporty Camaro like it a jeep, bat On 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:32.440 gas Man and Carol is not. I mean it's not. 0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:36.960 It's actually pretty good though, I mean, okay, it's actually decent. 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.080 But the Jeep probably what it's under twenty miles per 0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:43.720 gal probably gotta be right, I mean, it's it's bad. 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.720 And are you an aggressive driver or you laid back? 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.440 I'm pretty chill. I mean if I'm in the city 0:07:49.800 --> 0:07:54.520 you're driving in yeah, okay, yeah, see, thank you, thank you. Yeah. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.800 You have to turn tempo, Yeah you have to. It's 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:04.640 like you're driving and there are three thousand Greg Williams 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:10.120 around you, okay, and that's a two by two radius, 0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:13.160 so you know, you gotta bring it up only two 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.559 paces and you know, it's basically in the city either 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:20.120 dead or you're moving. I got I got a question 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.200 for you. It's unrelated to what we're talking about. But 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.040 you're knowing you for like two years now, you're one 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:29.119 of the happiest excited. You know, you're always smiling. How 0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:32.679 was there a point where, you know, from the Atlanta 0:08:32.720 --> 0:08:36.560 game now where you're you were down? Yeah, see that 0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.640 the next day after it happened. I mean, I was 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:43.080 pretty it was pretty tough, like and that week it 0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:45.000 was it was rough. Is it hard to try to 0:08:45.080 --> 0:08:49.280 psych yourself up to be positive? Yeah? Yeah, I really didn't. 0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:52.040 I wasn't in the mood to really see anybody, honestly, 0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:53.599 just like I didn't want to come up here. I 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.000 just wanted to like be home and they had to come. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.280 You no therapy and stuff was hurting, So I was like, 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.560 just really didn't want to be around people. Yeah. What 0:09:02.679 --> 0:09:06.920 gets you going in terms of those therapy sessions to 0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:10.720 rehab when you know you got to be motivated, but 0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:15.080 at the same time, you're enduring the pain and you 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:19.320 know the short term gain is not there right now, 0:09:19.480 --> 0:09:22.920 It's gonna be down the road. Yeah. The biggest thing 0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:26.880 is just uh, motivation is just to get it better, 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.679 just like so it won't hurt, like I can deal 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.440 with it once it once it's not hurting I like 0:09:32.640 --> 0:09:35.079 right now, I just like pain all the time. So 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.960 just that's my that's my biggest motivation right now, just 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:41.319 to to get it to not hurt. So I know, 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.839 they got to keep on working with it. The more 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:47.079 stuff I do that the better to feel the faster 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.679 to feel better, so I mean, and then just to 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:53.200 be able to get ready to run and do what 0:09:53.240 --> 0:09:55.600 I do, like I mean, it's I know, I know, 0:09:55.640 --> 0:10:03.000 I'm I'm not done playing football. So if you experienced 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:08.040 a major injury, never never yeah yeah never. So so 0:10:08.240 --> 0:10:10.680 going back to days of pe weird and never yeah 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.360 only only I missed the game. I missed the game 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.880 my freshman year of high school because I broke my 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.960 thumb and I couldn't. My mom she was like, she's 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:26.320 saying that I couldn't play, which I mean back then, Uh, 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:27.839 I mean I could have played. It was like you 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.599 could put a softcast on it, but she wouldn't. She's like, not, 0:10:30.720 --> 0:10:36.000 you ain't playing. I feel like that's understandable. Freshman, Yeah, 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.640 high school, that's fine. One game but no, man, never 0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:43.240 never had a big injury. Yeah, yeah, so it's all new. 0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:47.120 You know what I realized just now it is so random. 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.720 Can you wear over the ear headphones? Because I'm looking 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:55.160 at you right now wearing I I just I just 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:58.000 do the earbuds. Yeah, okay, yeah, that's right. I was 0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:00.360 just thinking about it, was like, I don't don't think 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:02.440 you can wear over there unless you're pin the pin 0:11:02.559 --> 0:11:04.360 the hair down, like training camp. How often do you 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:06.400 get the hair done? Last time I saw you, man, 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.280 it's August or July and you were actually getting your 0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:12.800 hair done that day and you were driving into the 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.920 city for it. I was, yeah, it's been a while, man, 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:18.400 I've been in how long a you're gonna let it go? 0:11:18.720 --> 0:11:21.960 You think? I don't know.

Yeah, okay. 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:46.800 Is there anyone on the team you would not let 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:53.720 drive your car? Uh? Trying thing? What about the mall? 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:57.720 I was thinking that I don't. I don't really know 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.599 how how he drives. I don't Okay, but well what 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:08.960 about Jenkins? Yeah? I wrote him another day. It's not good. No, 0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.400 you're not good driving. You keep you d pretty good. 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:15.120 But I mean, he just I don't know. You're something 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.320 about it. Okay, you're keeping Jordan's spirits up because he's 0:13:18.320 --> 0:13:21.319 got the more short term yeah, and the injuries. Right now, 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:26.640 he's pretty good, um, because he gets you both probably 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.400 get stir crazy. You want to punch each other. But no, 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:34.280 he's cool. He he um play his video games. Oh yeah, 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.640 well he can at least in Jordan's saying, he can 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.880 be in his room all day play video games. You're not, like, 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.599 you're not a video gamer like that, right, So I 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:46.400 get bored and movies get boring. You watch them all 0:13:46.520 --> 0:13:49.400 the time. You gott I'm telling you gotta find something. 0:13:49.920 --> 0:13:52.480 I don't know what. Well. Yeah, the problem is you're 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.679 an outdoorsman too. Yeah. There's not a lot of things 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:58.640 you can do outdoors, right yeah. Yeah, you're a big fisherman, aren't. Yeah. 0:13:58.679 --> 0:14:01.360 I can't do I can't do nothing. Yeah, I can't fly. 0:14:02.200 --> 0:14:04.440 You gotta sit in the house. Yeah you can't. And 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:07.600 to your point, it's not like you can drive somewhere warmer, 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.439 whatever the case. Maybe, but it's I mean, it's part 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:14.000 of it, you know, um, because the most comfortable place 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:18.600 is at home. When I'm yeah, So, I mean it's 0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:20.800 it's just a part of it. So how's you gotta 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.840 deal with it? You're gonna have people over man to 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.840 bring the people to you. I guess it's kind of hard. 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:29.480 Many like a lot of people so far like in 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:33.760 this in the city. Well what come over? So how 0:14:33.880 --> 0:14:40.120 did you watch the first three games? Where were you? First? Um? 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:44.160 First two? I went to a UM. I went to 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:48.640 this it's like a restaurant slash bar um. It was 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:52.080 down in Birmingham, So I went to uh when went 0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:53.720 there and they had a bunch of it's kind of 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:57.040 like a version a Boffal, a whild Wing and something 0:14:57.080 --> 0:15:00.640 like yeah, but less people. But it was cool. I 0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:03.040 went there. I had my leg propped up and just 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:06.160 watching watching the games. And then the second one, I 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:08.760 mean the third one, I was I was in the hotel. 0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:18.200 Yeah photos, yeah, yeah, that was cool creative. So let 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.200 me ask you this, when you're watching the game in 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:24.400 Birmingham and you're at the restaurant, what's your energy level 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:27.400 like for good or bad play? Like are you are 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:29.800 you cheering on? Are you just quiet because you're in 0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.400 public and you're I wasn't loud.

Um, that must be weird. It was weird. Yeah, 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:54.000 you're gonna be back though. How differently does it feel 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:57.880 that you were at college? Graduate? Now?

But how weird is it too 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:20.960 to go back to campus after playing a couple of 0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:23.440 years in the league and just going about your day 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:27.640 like you're taking normal classes at seniors and juniors take Yeah, 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:32.480 I mean it's it was weird being around like young kids. 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:37.000 I can't imagine going and doing homework. Oh yeah, it was. 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:40.360 It was. That was rough. That was rough. I hated it. 0:16:40.400 --> 0:16:43.360 What was your major again? Communications? Yeah? Yeah, it was, 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:47.480 it was. It was terrible.

I need it for unless I 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.320 need it, Like when I'm like forty five fifty, you 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.920 don't do something else? I don't know. So what do 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:01.840 you want to do in communication sans? I mean I 0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:05.080 might want to do some TV stuff? Who knows?

Speaking to Jamal uh last year, I remember 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:15.840 him saying he did some drama classes growing up. Yeah. Yeah, 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.639 so it wouldn't surprise me at all to see Jamal 0:17:18.920 --> 0:17:20.919 think it was some acting down the line, Would you 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:28.360 ever act?

But last year, for those who 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.160 don't know, Avery was on inside the jets with you 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:53.359 and for you asked something about some random question and 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.359 Avery's looking at the screen in front of you like this. Yeah, yeah, 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.160 you remember that, every looking at the screen in front 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.920 of you like here goes.

Now, believe I hope 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:33.840 I look good when I'm fifty, to look to be 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:39.320 the equivalent of j Lo as a guy at Come 0:19:39.320 --> 0:19:43.359 on now, alright, yeah, come on now. Well, I just 0:19:43.359 --> 0:19:46.520 hope by age.

I'm not asking you for your 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:37.640 rehab regimen, but in terms of everything, obviously we're talking 0:20:37.680 --> 0:20:39.639 to dealing with the knee injury.
