22
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, Tavious, can you walk me through your background a

23
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 6: little bit. I know, coming from Canada, I read that

24
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 6: you kind of aspired to go enter the CFL, and

25
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 6: then the pandemic kind of changed your mind. Can you

26
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 6: can you walk me through the story of how you

27
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 6: ended up landing at Old Miss and pursuing an NFL

28
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 6: career now?

29
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I played two years at university football up

30
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: here in Canada, and then when COVID happened, everything got

31
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: shut down here football got canceled. And then at that

32
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: point I was sending out my tape everywhere trying to

33
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 3: get a school in the States, and then Ole Miss

34
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: was one of my first as a c offers. So

35
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 3: that's how I ended up at Old Miss and then

36
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 3: had three years there and now I'm here.

37
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 4: So yeah, Luke Jones, Tyboas, Congratulations.

38
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 7: Who are some players you've tried to model your game

39
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 7: after as you've prepared for this NFL career.

40
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 3: Max Crosby is someone who I watched a ton because

41
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: he has a relentless motor. So that's one thing I

42
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: watched him throughout the season. That's that's kind of what

43
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: I try to model my game off is never giving

44
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: up on places, playing with a relentless motor. And then

45
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: on top of that, like he has great pass which

46
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 3: moves is a great run defender. So but the motor

47
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 3: part is one thing that I try to take from

48
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: his game one hundred percent.

49
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: So Childs Walker, Yeah, I hate tav congratulations.

50
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: You know, we hear from everybody that you were you

51
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: were really coming on sort of at the end of

52
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: your college career.

53
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 4: I mean in your mind, where did you improve the most?

54
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 4: And then where do you still think you have the

55
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 4: most room to grow?

56
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 5: Yeah?

57
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 4: I think the most.

58
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: I just improved that the game like started to slow

59
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 3: down for me, and the more I learned from my coaches,

60
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: the better I got and the more confident I felt

61
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: out there. I became a better power rusher this year,

62
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 3: better stopping the run, and I just feel like I

63
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: still have so much more room to grow. And you know,

64
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 3: I'm a sponge. I like to be coached and I

65
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 3: like to become as best as I can at this game.

66
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 3: So I think there's a lot a lot of room

67
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: to grow.

68
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: For sure.

69
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 5: We'll go to Cordill Woodland.

70
00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 8: Hey, tav Is, congratulations A lot of forest fumbles for you.

71
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 9: When did it become an emphasis for you to start

72
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 9: really going after the.

73
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: Football really from the start of the season, Like that's

74
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 3: something that our DC D line coach preaches because turnovers

75
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 3: can win games. You know, the turnover margining where you

76
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: got to take like the ball wins game. So whenever

77
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 3: you get a shot to take that ball out, it's

78
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 3: what you got to do. So a sack isn't enough

79
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: if you got to get the strip sack. So that's

80
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 3: kind of my mentality with it.

81
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 10: So we'll go to Jeff's soreback, Pavious, where how much

82
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 10: interaction did you have in the Ravens and the pre draft.

83
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 11: Process and and and what was kind of the extent

84
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 11: of that.

85
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, we had talked a little bit at the Combine

86
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: and the Senior Bowl. I remember that, and so I

87
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 3: knew that they were on my raidar. I didn't know

88
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: one hundred percent of it was gonna end up. But

89
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 3: you know, when I got that call from Baltimore again,

90
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: I was ecstatic and just excited to come into such

91
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 3: a great program.

92
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 5: So yeah, Johanna Schaeffer.

93
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 7: It Davious, congratulations.

94
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: Two questions for you.

95
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 7: I guess have you talked that much with the Ravens

96
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 7: about what kind of role in the defense you would have?

97
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 7: And then also just looking at your bio, I saw

98
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 7: that you used to work at one night hundred got

99
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 7: junk before you got the college offer, What was that

100
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 7: experience like for you? And I guess have you thought

101
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 7: it all about just how far you've come since you,

102
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 7: you know, made since you major break into college football. Yeah,

103
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 7: so with that story right before, like when football had

104
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 7: got canceled here in Canada, like because here in Canada,

105
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 7: we don't get full scholarships, like you got to work

106
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 7: to pay for your school for the upcoming year. So

107
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 7: before I got in your offers, I had applied for

108
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,479
Speaker 7: that job, got that job, and was like just getting

109
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 7: ready to start working to make enough money to go

110
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,720
Speaker 7: to university the upcoming year. But at the same time,

111
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 7: I was sending up my tape, but I didn't know

112
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 7: if anything was gonna come from it. But then I

113
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 7: got the old Miss offer and then yeah, I didn't

114
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 7: even I think I was like scheduled to go and

115
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 7: for work and then I got the old Miss offer

116
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 7: like two days before, and then I like quit and

117
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 7: then it was on a.

118
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: Plane to the Old Miss like the next day. So yeah,

119
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: and your role in the defense if you know that, Yeah,

120
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: we're gonna get into that pretty soon here. But yeah,

121
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: I'm excited to be a part of Baltimore for sure.

122
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 5: We'll go to Dan Ralph who's joining us from Canada

123
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 5: as well.

124
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 12: Tav's congratulations. I wanted to ask you two things. First

125
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 12: of all, you are the fourth Canadian to go. You

126
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 12: and I both know that ties the record for most.

127
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 12: And what your thoughts are about the amount of Canadians

128
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 12: that we're seeing going into the NFL draft in the

129
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 12: last four or five years, and what that what that

130
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 12: significance is for you.

131
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so significant to me because at the end

132
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 3: of the day, there's so many great players up here who,

133
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: in my mind, if they were in D one school,

134
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 3: they would be in the same position, but they just

135
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: it's hard to get that opportunity from Canada. So it's

136
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 3: great to see and I think it will continue to

137
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 3: open up more opportunities for Canadian kids, which they deserve

138
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: because there's so.

139
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 4: Much talent up here.

140
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: And once that talent really gets tapped into, I mean,

141
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 3: I think the numbers is just gonna rise and rise

142
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 3: every year.

143
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 4: So it's great.

144
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 12: We talked, we talked to your uncle has a pro pedigree,

145
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 12: but you're the first gelth player ever to be drafted

146
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:03,680
Speaker 12: into the National Football League.

147
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 4: Any significance to that in your mind. Definitely.

148
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: Again, like it's just it's it's to show all the

149
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: kids back home, all the kids up here around in Canada,

150
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 3: it's possible with hard work and dedication and just it's important.

151
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 4: It's important that the kids know that.

152
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,919
Speaker 3: So I'm definitely grateful for the opportunity and happy that

153
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: the kids can can look up.

154
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 4: To me, for sure.

163
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 3: I was a stand up the end, and then the

164
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: past few years I've been handed the dirt. So I'm comfortable,

165

175
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 3: Like everything you do you got to do at the

176
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,240

194
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 7: quick personal question, could you explain your your name? It's

195
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 7: obviously an unusual when I couldn't find anything online on

00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 7: how you got it.

197
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, funny story.

00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: So by my dad.

199
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: Of course they had me.

200
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 9: They agreed on blue before I'm even I'm even out,

201
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 9: like that was the main thing they wanted to do.

202
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 4: And we get all the way down, so I'm pretty

203
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 4: sure the delivery.

204
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 9: Room I'm crying somewhere and the biblical cords gotta get cut.

205
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 9: But my mom's like, I want a K I want

206
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,679

207
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 9: been this is a process the whole time we're switching up.

208
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 9: So it made a compromise and pretty much wanted to

209
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 9: find what flows with blue and when Kyu blue k

210
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,679

211
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 14: Jamison Hensley, how you what do you think as far

212
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 14: as having a father who played over a decade in

213
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 14: the NFL, how much do you think that helped you

214
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 14: as far as your football career.

215
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 4: I mean it helped me one hundred percent.

216
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 9: I was just telling him before this whole process even

217
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 9: started that without him, I would even be as close

218
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 9: to the man I am a close to the football

219
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 9: player I am today. A lot of kids, you know,

220
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 9: just be having a father in my life, let alone

221
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 9: the NFL father. You know, that's such a big thing.

222
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 9: That's such a blessing in this life. I can't even

223
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 9: have the words to say, but it's such a big,

224
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 9: such a big blessing I have for sure.

225
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 5: Ryan mink.

227
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 6: that's pretty impressive. Can you talk about where your game grew,

228
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 6: what you'll bring to the Ravens. Then secondly your matchup

229
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 6: with Jordan Addison.

230
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll start with my career. I mean just playing

231
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 9: four years of ball, you get a lot of experience,

232
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 9: see a lot of football. You learn a lot about

233
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 9: the game as the years grow. And I feel like

234
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,719
Speaker 9: what I bring to the secondary and just to the

235
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,719
Speaker 9: team is one a competitor, really really uber competitor. You know,

236
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,439
Speaker 9: whatever I'm doing, I want to be the best and

237
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 9: beat the best nickel and a corner, you know, whatever

Speaker 9: they want to want to fit me at and man

239
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 9: covers covers. I was able to experience a lot of

240
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,599
Speaker 9: different scheme diversity that really helps me be in a

241
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 9: Swiss Army Knight put me in different places. As far

242
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,839
Speaker 9: as Jordan a great player, great player. He got me

243
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 9: on that one post and we had some up the

244
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 9: line of scrimmage and I didn't get any balls after that,

245
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 9: but great player.

246
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 4: I see him doing well in the league, just like

247
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 4: I expect myself to do well. And yeah, for sure,

248
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 4: we'll go to Brian Whacker.

249
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,599
Speaker 15: Hey, how you read that you signed a deal with

250
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 15: Microsoft for a video game that you created and you're

251
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 15: also involved in real estate development. Can you just talk

252
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 15: about what sparked those two things.

253
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I believe it or not. It's pretty cliche. My dad,

254
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 4: my dad, it was funny. For the video game.

255
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 9: We have a friend of ours who was creating a

256
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 9: movie that's gonna come out and it's based on what

257
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 9: the video game is based on, and he introduced it

258
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 9: to my dad and I play video games, so my dad,

259
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 9: they both knew nothing about video games, and he was like,

260
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 9: you know, my son.

261
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: Plays a lot of video games. And he was like, ky,

262
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 4: you can you create.

263
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 9: A story like a storyboard or a log or some

264
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 9: type of lore for this game and figure out a

265
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 9: story based behind it. And I just sat down, like

266
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,959
Speaker 9: maybe a few hours, created a whole storyboard, characters and

267
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 9: stuff like that, and they gave it to the company

268
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 9: and they really liked it. So that game is still

269
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 9: in progress. We're still figuring that out. It would definitely

270
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 9: be coming.

271
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 4: Out soon with the movie and everything and real estate

272
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: once again.

273
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,200
Speaker 9: My dad, believe it or not, he's definitely doing real

274
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 9: estate development right now.

275
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,160
Speaker 4: He got his own development company out in Vegas.

276
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 9: And I was blessed to be at Stanford to do

277
00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 9: internships with venture capitalists and private equities and real estate

278
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,079
Speaker 9: firms alike, and just being around it with my dad

279
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 9: seeing it around. There's something I would just want to

280
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 9: dive into throughout this whole process in the NFL and

281
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 9: after on.

282
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 4: The video game.

283
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,439
Speaker 15: What's the sorry, what's what is the game or movie

284
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 15: or at least what's based in.

285
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 9: I can't I can't talk to us about the movie,

286
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 9: but the video game is if you can think of

287
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,439
Speaker 9: like a Seal Team six that travels back in time

288
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 9: to stop people from trying to change historic events.

289
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 4: So let's say somebody trying to.

290
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 9: Redirect I'm saying too much, but yeah, that's that's.

291
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 3: The hole.

292
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,319

Speaker 4: will be for your game?

299
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,000

Speaker 9: like playing against you know, guys like Obj. I've seen

301

00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 4: But the Baltimore Ravens is a historic football program.

319
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 9: I mean, coming from I watched Marlon Humphreys, I don't

320
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 9: know how many times dudes, the baller Marcus Spears when

321
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 9: he was there. You guys got Kyle Hamilton now just

322
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 9: Eric Weddle, like guys in the secondary that I've watched

323
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 9: around my whole entire life. But Ed reed too, like

324
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 9: that's even crazier just me being be able. I have

325
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 9: an opportunity to sement my legacy also when there. But

326
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 9: as far as the process, I had a meeting with

327
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 9: the DV coach Zoom meeting. Honestly, I never talked to

328
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,839
Speaker 9: Harbone until today, never talked to the GM until today.

329
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 9: But Ryan Capetta is my trainer at Proactive, and he

330
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 9: told me they reached out at the combine. I was

331
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 9: just wondering what type of guy I am, and Ryan

332
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 9: of course said, I'm a super competitor and love to compete.

333
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 9: And that was honestly the first interaction I had up until.

334
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 4: That Zoom meeting. But I'm just super stoked man, super

335
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 4: glad to be a raven, super blessed.

Speaker 5: Jeff's reeback.

337
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 4: What was the moment?

338
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 11: Usually the team after they make some picks the next

339
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 11: couple days or whatever sends out. You know, some of

340
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 11: the videos of the phone calls with guys getting that

341
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 11: call to tell them they've been drafted.

342
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 4: What was the moment like for you?

343
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 11: And how special was it for your family knowing you know,

344

Speaker 11: the NFL.

346
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, honestly, I mean just going through the days. You know,

347
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 9: it's a grueling process for any type of draft prospects.

348
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 9: Sitting there watching everybody get picked dos in your position,

349
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 9: the competitive nature and all of us is like that

350
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 9: should have been me. But you know, every team has

351
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 9: a fit. You know, every team loves you, and I'm

352
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 9: just glad. You know, the Ravens love me. But just

353

354
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,160

355
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 9: Of course, they're telling me other teams. They're telling me

356
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 9: teams that wasn't even the Ravens that they might jump

357
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 9: up and take me. But and then it just happened.

358
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 9: I got the four to one zero area code and

359
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,800

00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 9: my senior season prepared to my junior season, and I

395
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,200
Speaker 9: had in total and man to man, I think about

396
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 9: twenty five targets of the whole entire season, So not

397
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 9: a lot of opportunity to show myself, not a lot

398
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 9: of opportunity to go out there and make plays.

399
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 4: And I just knew at the Senior Bowl, like, got

400
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:12,960

401
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,119

Speaker 5: All right, And we'll finish up here with Kevin Richardson.

408
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 8: Are you what are the things you think you need

409
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 8: to work on at the next level and at Stafford?

410
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 8: Were you able to ever play in special teams because

411
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 8: most guys first coming in the league, special teams is

412
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 8: one of the ways they make this make their mark.

413
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, seeking of special teams that the tradition at Stanford.

414
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 4: That's the right of passions.

415
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 9: No matter how good you are, Dudes like Christian McCaffrey

416
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 9: and Solomon Thomas still plays special teams. You know, you're

417
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 9: never too good to play to be off of special teams.

418
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 9: So I was able to play gunner, jammer, kickoff. Those

419
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 9: are the things that got me on the field as

420
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 9: a freshman. You know, I played my I started my

421
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 9: freshman year, but it was four games. In those three

422
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,120
Speaker 9: games before I was all special teams guy, just going

423
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 9: in and at it. Yeah, I take a lot of

424
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 9: pride in that. I feel like that's how I gained

425
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 9: the respect of from the top down GM, all the

426
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 9: way down the player. I feel like just busting my

427
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 9: butt on special teams, doing I need to do for

428
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 9: the team is the biggest thing.

429
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 4: And sorry, did you ask another question? I got lost

430
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 4: in the special teams question. Sure, what what is the

431
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 4: other thing you think you need to work on at

432
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 4: the next level?

433
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 13: Uh?

434
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:37,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean now I'm going to the Ravens. I

435
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 9: look at a guy like Marlon Humphries. He's uber physical.

436
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 9: I mean, he's one of the most physical corners in

437
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 9: this league. And I feel like that's definitely something I

438
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 9: can plus in my game, you know, not being the

439
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 9: same size as Marlin, different different types of players, I

440
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 9: feel like, by the same time, making sure I bring

441
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 9: that same physicality that they demand from their top guy,

442
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,240
Speaker 9: you know, I feel like that's something I definitely do

443
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 9: And the only thing that keeps you in this league

444
00:18:59,080 --> 00:18:59,879
Speaker 9: is a ball production.

445
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 4: Make sure I'll just get two hands on that ball

446
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 4: and give it back to Lamar and Odell and let

447
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 4: those guys do work.

448
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: All right.

449
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,720
