It's good to 0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.559 be back on the grass and get back at some football. 0:00:49.640 --> 0:00:51.599 What question did you have so. 0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.239 I know it's a first you know, first time you're 0:00:53.240 --> 0:00:55.080 seeing the lote's wookie job there any kind of just 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.040 overall I question of the past couple? 0:00:57.600 --> 0:00:59.680 Yeah, you know just what we thought. Guys at Love 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:04.120 foot Ball. They're working hard, picking things up quickly. Practice 0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.920 has been pretty pretty darn crisp. You know for coming 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:08.360 out here for the first time. These guys have never 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:11.199 been the system, really never practiced in the NFL before. 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:13.679 They were excited yesterday. They were a little hyped up 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:16.440 a couple guys. You know, sometimes you gotta just you know, 0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:18.040 cal him to slow your mind down a little bit. 0:01:18.600 --> 0:01:20.760 He goes slower mind means a faster body a lot 0:01:20.800 --> 0:01:21.759 of times athletically. 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.160 So we did that. 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.200 But they did a good job and not not being 0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.399 over zealous in terms of, you know, banging into each 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.760 other stuff. Understanding it's an orientation period. So happy with 0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:32.320 how they're doing. 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:37.360 John, we didn't ask you about Ruckus in that signage. 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:39.560 What does he bring to this defense and what are 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:40.919 you excited about with his addition? 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.600 Well, yeah, he's a young veteran corner. You know, he's 0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.959 We've always appreciated the way he plays. He's he's a 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:49.120 very diligent player. He can run, he's he's a good tackler, 0:01:49.640 --> 0:01:52.160 he's tough player, a good good man, his own player. 0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:52.440 Both. 0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.160 We were impressed when we talked to him and just 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:57.720 happy to get it done. So we're looking forward to 0:01:57.720 --> 0:01:58.400 seeing how he does. 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.240 He'll save closed the door on any other significant a 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:03.800 editions at that secondary spot. 0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:04.880 Yeah, good question. 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:06.880 I would say, no, I don't think you'd ever ever 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:11.040 really closed the door on any any personnel move you know, uh, 0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:11.960 whoever it might be. 0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:12.240 Uh. 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.120 You know, if you you probably ask me about Marcus 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.720 and whatever the corners are out there, I would say, 0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:17.799 you know, you don't close the door. 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:19.840 And good players and good people. We'll see how it goes. 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:25.239 These guys. 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.160 Obviously you get ready for the draft, which you know, 0:02:28.200 --> 0:02:31.680 the combines not really exactly like football, do you? Uh, 0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.480 I don't know, are you true to see what kind 0:02:33.520 --> 0:02:35.919 of shape guys are there? You pretty like pretty much 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.400 think they woke in shape with that part this process too, well, you. 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.960 Are curious, sure for sure, Cliff, to see what kind 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:42.560 of shape they're in. But then we found out they're 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.120 all in good shape. You know, So our guys did 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:47.560 a good job. Our guys said, no problem with the practice. Uh, 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:50.840 happy with how they're doing. Yeah, early impressions. 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:53.200 At Zay and and what you just in particular that 0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:54.600 you've seen everything that you like. 0:02:55.000 --> 0:02:56.760 Sure, uh, just if you go through the whole maybe 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.880 the draft guys, but Zay uh, Zay looks just as advertised, quick, 0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:06.720 good hands, very smart, you know, picking things up really quickly, 0:03:07.200 --> 0:03:09.600 playing every position right now across the board, and with 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.760 what we've installed. It's just the first two install days. 0:03:11.800 --> 0:03:15.360 But I'd say, uh, everything he's expected to see. You 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:20.040 saw catching the ball well, Simpson, you know, same thing. 0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:23.400 Looks fast, picking things up, very good communicator. You know, 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:25.839 obviously there's a lot for these guys on their plate. 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:27.799 There's a lot to learn. But he's off to a 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:33.280 good start. Who's next, Uh yeah, uh, cayu yeah, cayu. 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:33.639 Uh. 0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:35.720 I would say even with him, you know, he looks 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.960 really good. I would say, just for me personally, even 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:40.480 a little more athletic than I thought, you know from 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.080 the draft on the tape, he looks really really fluid, 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:51.400 solid thing sala six round pick uh, solid, good feet, 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:52.960 just like we thought. I'd say, just how we thought 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.560 harder for the lineman, cause you know we don't we're 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.600 not in pads. But he moves real well, seems like 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:57.640 he's picking things up well. 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:02.920 Was it those thirty guys for the drafts? 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.520 Oh yeah, absolutely, he was definitely in the mix. He 0:04:05.640 --> 0:04:07.360 was he was. He was in the first upper half 0:04:07.360 --> 0:04:12.200 of that group for sure. Who else Tavis Davis Yeah, 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:16.000 he looks. He looks good. He looks high energy, high energy. 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:17.880 You know, I think his I think his skill set 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:20.480 is going to really express itself with the pads on. 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:23.240 But he's he's a he's a tall, rangy guy with 0:04:23.279 --> 0:04:24.599 heavy hands and a lot of energy. 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:26.760 You are we going with sal Is that? 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:27.800 Hell, we're gonna go with that. 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:30.880 I think that's how he goes. I think, yeah, because yeah, 0:04:31.839 --> 0:04:35.000 no chance you have to name. 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:41.560 The media person you're supposed to pronunciate these things. 0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.120 Is that what You're a writer not a. 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.400 Does he do you look at him as a tackle? 0:04:49.600 --> 0:04:52.040 Is it just getting reps at both. 0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.720 And see where he kind of make a decision when 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:55.919 you have to make a decision. 0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:57.640 Absolutely, And versatility is good. 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.560 He's he's a developmental player at this point, you know, 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:04.360 so I think he'll develop quickly. But guard tackle pretty 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.159 much on the right side right now? Then focus on 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:06.640 that side. 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:08.479 How much was good good? 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:10.880 How much the more he's on your radar? I mean, 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:12.800 it's interesting to trade back in and get him when 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.040 you did. How much was he on the radar all 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:15.960 along through this process? 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:17.560 You know he was probably you know he was on 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:19.479 the radar, but it wasn't like a big blip on 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:21.760 the radar because he had the he had the dot 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:23.039 on there that said he was injured. 0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:24.320 Uh, we'd watch him. 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.040 We had him ranked as a high you know, as 0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:29.320 a draftable player, third round type pick type guy maybe 0:05:30.480 --> 0:05:34.000 in that range, and uh, when we got towards the end, 0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:36.560 you know, we just he's still there obviously, and we'd 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:38.839 we kind of started talking about him in terms of 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.800 compared to the other guys that were available, and it's like, 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.880 this is a real value. Let's try to get back 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.359 in and see when we get him. And Eric did 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:46.080 a great job with that. 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:50.360 John, you guys rolled out him, you know, possibly being available. 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.120 This year probably I would say, yeah, I think the 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:54.280 plan for him this year is to rehab. He's he's 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.800 you know, hey, who knows what could happen, But let's 0:05:57.839 --> 0:05:59.680 give him every opportunity he gets healthy as he can 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.920 get you be ready to go next next offseason. 0:06:02.960 --> 0:06:06.840 Jack, we're talking about the guy's playing and throw him 0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.960 up between do you see Kelly's this guy capable slot 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:12.320 and outside corner or is there. 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.000 You know he thinks his strengths. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:14.599 Are in a certain area. 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:18.680 Well, he's definitely capable mentally to do it. H physically, 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.280 we just have to see, you know, how he fits. 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:21.560 You put a guy and he can do it. I 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:23.440 mean he's got the skill set. It's really more of 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.839 a how do you process in there, having a feel 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:28.080 for the routes and stuff like that. But he's good 0:06:28.160 --> 0:06:32.240 enough to play outside anyway. So he's fast enough, you know. Uh, 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:35.000 and he's he's really smooth and fluid, opens up his hips. 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:36.760 You're gonna like his feet when you see him. He's 0:06:37.080 --> 0:06:39.680 he's a little taller and rangier than kind of high. 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.320 He looked on tape to me. So yeah, it looks 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.200 good so far, but hey, it's early. I mean we're 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:45.040 just starting. 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.760 John because returning the special teams bet something that a 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:50.760 Flowers is accident is hit. 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:51.120 He did. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.520 He caught punch yesterday, looked really good doing it. So yeah, absolutely, 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:55.640 we'll we'll take a look at that. 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.840 John has a wall since you had a doubleware quarterback 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:05.839 D five here number five. Notice, I mean you know 0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.360 I believe he is a Drift Flackoo fan, so coming 0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:13.040 from Delaware, So yeah, I mean did he did he 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.160 did he s anything about him to best goal days or. 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.760 Yeah, he looked good. He's he got real smooth athlete, 0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:21.680 real smart. Both guys, I mean both the two quarterbacks 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:24.240 in here, uh, Delaware and Buis State. I mean, those 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.040 guys did a good job. I thought they were both 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:29.200 very confident, ran things well, picked up the offense very 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:29.920 very quickly. 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:33.000 After that. You know, you just you don't know until 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.280 things kind of the bullets start to fly a little bit. 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.080 So as we kind of try to figure out what 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:39.840 this secondary might look like, did you guys have a 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.880 plan for what you want tran Steve is to focus 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.840 on with this off season positionally, I know he's kind 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:45.720 of bounced around a bunch of talk. 0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:47.400 Yeah, you know, that's a great question. 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.520 We're going to start him off at safety and uh 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.200 and work as a safety corner combination. I mean, the 0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:54.800 versatility again, we love it, but he's going to focus 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:56.040 more on safety. He's got a lot of reps of 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.440 corners so far. Try to really get that down. And 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:01.160 you know, one of his superpowers is going to be 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:02.280 he can play all five spots. 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.040 Is like a nickelback type caled Hamilton, like you know 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.160 Stuft that he could maybe fit in. 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.280 I think he could, you know, I mean, he's you know, 0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:12.400 those guys become interchangeable if they're playing the nickel spot too, 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:16.120 and we probably more than anybody played three safety type 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:19.160 grouping out there in our nickel package, so I would 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:20.440 think he could do the same type thing. 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.440 It's always great to hear from John Harbott, and he 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:25.680 had some good things to say about what he's seen 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.840 out of these rookies. There's obviously a learning curve going 0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.680 from the collegiate level to the NFL, but it seems 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:34.040 like these newcomers are eager to put in the work 0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:36.680 and show what they're capable of at the next level. 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.280 Before we get to the next press conference, don't forget 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:43.079 to subscribe, rate, and review the Ravens Press Pass podcast 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.439 if you haven't already. Next up is the Ravens first 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:49.960 round selection at pick number twenty two wide receivers Zay 0:08:50.000 --> 0:08:53.160 Flowers from Boston College. From what we've seen so far 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.960 during rookie camp, Zay is an explosive playmaker with quick 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.760 feet and big play potential. Here's what he had to 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.160 say to the Ravens media. 0:09:01.880 --> 0:09:03.000 So I had to feel being out there. 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.600 I don't mean obviously you practice so many time, but 0:09:05.600 --> 0:09:07.439 how did was it different being out there being an. 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.720 NFL, it's not really different. I would say it's more 0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.120 spaed up, it's more urgent. You gotta know what you're doing. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.160 You gotta be able to take it from the classroom 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:20.520 to the field. So it's not it's really not different. 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:23.640 In college, you just have more time to like learn 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.439 it and they'll take you through more. And in the 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:27.920 NFL you really just gotta get it and go so. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:28.640 That your way of sitting. 0:09:28.679 --> 0:09:31.520 You made a couple of mistakes, but I think everybody 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.200 gonna make a couple of mistakes the first time I'm 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.560 out there. But you know, it's part of the building 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:36.480 process to. 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.600 Say it's so early, but what are your early impressions 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:39.680 of Top Munkins offense. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:41.920 I love it. It's kind of like some of the 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.640 stuff I ran at BC. I love it if I 0:09:44.679 --> 0:09:47.040 think it fit my style, like perfect. 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:48.439 What do you think it's your style? 0:09:49.480 --> 0:09:55.320 Running? Getting open and be able to create space, deep balls, short, intermediate, 0:09:55.720 --> 0:09:56.160 do it all? 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.240 Do you see yourself as more inside more outside in 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:00.480 that offense you have? 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.160 I feel like I could play anyway. 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.040 Say, when we were talking to John Harbor before the draft, 0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:11.640 he said, well, a shorter receiver has to have other superpowers. Yeah, 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:13.199 so what are your superpowers? 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:15.760 I feel like I'm a complete receiver. I could do 0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:20.600 it all you name it, I'd be able to do it. Now. 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.800 When we talked with Lamar as this pass speakers mentioning 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:24.600 you and. 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.680 Some of the other receivers and talking about maybe throwing six. 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:29.520 Think about that. 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:32.280 I love that. Let's do it. I'm with it. Whatever 0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:33.400 you want to do, I'm with it. 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:35.320 You mentioned your. 0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:37.560 Inside or outside. 0:10:37.559 --> 0:10:39.880 I feel like, like, what do you what do you 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:40.640 prefer to be like? 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:44.960 Worser YEA the most comfortable like to be he feel 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:45.840 like they're most dangerous. 0:10:46.400 --> 0:10:48.520 I really, I honestly don't have a preference because I 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.120 feel like I could run every route on the outside 0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.080 and I could run every round on the inside, So 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:53.600 I don't really have a preference. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.240 Have you had any conversation with Lamar Let's do more 0:10:57.280 --> 0:10:59.320 in depth about how you guys are gonna play. 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.880 Or what he likes. Maybe this week when I go home, 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:04.120 we would probably throw a little bit talk, but it 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.400 was just about last week. We were just talking about 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.160 throwing and trying to catch up a little bit. 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:11.600 You expect to do that on music Sac South wherever 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:12.240 you guys. 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.440 Fuck up And yeah, absolutely absolutely. 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:16.679 So. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.880 Uh I think when when that pandemic season happens, and uh, 0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:23.760 I guess when the pandemic happened in two thousand. You know, 0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.679 you talked about how important that that you know, period 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:29.120 was for you and just trying to work your hardest and. 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:30.079 Be as as you could be. 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:32.680 Did you kind of go into that that stretch like 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:34.920 knowing that you wanted to work as hard as you did? 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.199 And I guess, like, where were you in for where 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.240 were you after after that stretch? 0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:41.599 Before that? That was my freshman year, so I was 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.080 kind of like probably like one hundred and fifty pounds, 0:11:45.480 --> 0:11:49.960 So I knew I had to gain weight, route, run, 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:51.760 and just try to get better at every aspect of 0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:54.560 get every aspect of my game. And that's what I 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.680 was able to do because we had four months off 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.160 until we actually went and played the game, and I 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.640 was able to do that every day and build up 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:03.079 to what I wanted. 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:05.160 Do you think that kind of stuff is changing to 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:07.960 yourself sports. 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:10.640 And everything like that, You like, it's a part of it. 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:12.200 But I was a hard record before that. I just 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:12.880 needed some weight. 0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:17.200 Was there a play after that period that you lived 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.160 to where you started establishing that physicality that you became 0:12:20.200 --> 0:12:21.280 pretty well known for at. 0:12:21.160 --> 0:12:25.040 The Boston College. Nah. I wouldn't say a play in particular, 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.600 but it was probably a couple of plays that added 0:12:27.679 --> 0:12:29.800 up to parties to that. 0:12:30.679 --> 0:12:32.439 Is there a target way that you were the coaches 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:33.520 want you or this year? 0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:35.880 Uh no, they really haven't given me one yet, but 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:36.760 I have my own. 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:41.160 We saw the video of you and your club conference 0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:43.600 with your dad there. Emotionally, what was it like for 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.240 you walking in here and seeing your your your jersey, 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:47.520 your name and just lock. 0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:50.400 Going on this man? It was a dream come true, 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.560 like at the draft, Like there's a lot of emotions 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:55.880 so and you don't really get to the team yet, 0:12:55.920 --> 0:12:57.880 so you don't really feel it. And then when you 0:12:57.920 --> 0:12:59.800 see the jersey your name on it with the end 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:02.319 of and all that, and then it's like all right 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.079 now we here. How many number four dress is you 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:09.520 get to order now? With your sibols, I say like, good, 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:13.000 like fifteen sixty, hopefully ill get a deal. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.600 Draping. What's the coolest thing that's happened to you, Whether 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:20.720 it's a phone call you've gotten, the message, you got 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:21.679 on something you read. 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:24.920 Saw Oh, Carmelo Anthony text me. He was like walking 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:25.880 into flog nation. 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.640 You know. 0:13:31.440 --> 0:13:33.480 Oh he DM me. He was in my DM for 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.760 like three days and I was like, Carmelo Anthony text me, 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:37.839 and then I clicked on the space. He was like 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:39.160 seven many fives. Oh yeah, that's it. 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.520 I know we're all pumped to see that Lamar to 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:46.680 Zay connection this season, but I don't think anyone is 0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.760 more excited than Zay himself. Flowers said he's looking forward 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.400 to playing in Todd Monkin's offense and he thinks it 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:57.000 will fit his style perfectly. You're listening to Ravens Press Pass. 0:13:57.080 --> 0:14:00.720 If you haven't already, don't forget to subscribe, rate and review. 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:03.600 The next presser we have for you is Baltimore's third 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:08.160 round selection, linebacker Trenton Simpson from Clemson. Trent is a 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:11.560 very versatile player who can make an immediate impact on 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:15.040 Mike McDonald's defense as well as on special teams. So 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:18.400 with that, here's Trenton Simpson's rookie camp press conference. 0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:21.280 I feel out there any any different. 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.040 I mean, you've had football practices, your whole life was 0:14:24.160 --> 0:14:26.320 the past couple days, A little a little more difference 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:27.360 than than usual. 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.600 I wouldn't say different. It's just the game. The level 0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.120 of the NFL is just a little bit faster. But 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:35.480 I'm having fun, just playing fast, physical football, trusting that 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.000 my coaches put me in the best situation. Just having fun. 0:14:38.040 --> 0:14:40.280 You know, this is I'm living a dream and just 0:14:40.320 --> 0:14:42.280 to get through with my first two NFL practices, I'm 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:43.520 blessed and I've had a great time. 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:50.320 Kend when you got drafted John Harbaugh and said Chris Horden, 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:53.440 the special teams coach's gonna love you. What what's the 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:55.480 key to being a you know, a key special teams 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:56.520 guy with your position? 0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.120 I say the keys is being relentless, giving it all 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.640 you got and taking that special team's rep like you 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:04.640 would take the first team defensive rep. And that's what 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:06.560 I pride myself on, just doing all the small things 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:08.160 right and giving it all I got, you know, trying 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.160 to empty in the tank every practice so when game 0:15:10.200 --> 0:15:11.560 they come, he'll be super easy for me. 0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.040 Do you think coming in you'r they said to your 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.080 guy would play inside outside. Do you think the fact 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:21.680 that you did a lot of things at Godege your 0:15:21.680 --> 0:15:24.760 health care fair this ually needed edit more ways. 0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:24.840 Uh, yes, sir. 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:26.960 Yeah, definitely being able to be versus to it. Clemson, 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:28.440 I was able to learn a lot a lot of 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.240 systems and uh, I had two different coaches, so I 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:32.880 learned two systems. And uh, just the flexibility I bring 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:34.560 to the table, you know, and just trusting my coaches 0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.720 and putting extra work. I feel like that would translate 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:38.160 to this league easily as well. 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:40.360 He talks about how much you're looking forward to working 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:42.000 with Ropinn. Have you had a chance to talk to him, 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:42.640 and if so, you. 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:43.840 Know what is that after Tacklin? 0:15:44.000 --> 0:15:44.880 Yes, sir, I have.

And I'm just excited to play with 0:15:50.320 --> 0:15:52.560 a guy like that. You know, he's a a great linebacker. 0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.120 You know, it's all it's a proofing and putting like 0:15:54.160 --> 0:15:55.960 he showed it and he's been the top guy in 0:15:55.960 --> 0:15:57.640 the NFL. So just to be in the locker room 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.200 with a vet like that, I'm gonna come in and 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:02.560 ready to learn and try. What were the emotions like 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.880 just getting ready to prepare for rookie Bennie Camp, being 0:16:05.920 --> 0:16:08.280 in the building for the first time moved to like him. 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:10.560 I would say I came in eager, like I was 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.200 ready to get to work. I couldn't wait to wake 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.400 up Thursday morning to fly here and just get started 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:17.280 with ball again. But all the nerves is down now 0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:18.800 and I'm just feel like I'm just playing football and 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.760 just getting into the locker room and meeting new teammates, 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:22.840 and I'm just getting to build a relationship with all 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.120 my coaches, you know, special team defensive coordinator and all 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:25.680 my teammates. 0:16:25.720 --> 0:16:26.640 It's a blessing to be here. 0:16:26.640 --> 0:16:30.760 For sure, we'll get some of the free draft coverage. 0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:32.400 I think one of the guys, if you said you're 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:34.880 most excited to try to tackle or sack with Lamar 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.680 Jackson's now here you are. Is it a better feeling 0:16:38.680 --> 0:16:40.200 the worst feeling that you're gonna see him every day 0:16:40.200 --> 0:16:42.440 in practice, or that you can't technically sack him, or 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:43.360 how do you kind of think of that? 0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:43.560 Oh? 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:44.760 No, it's cool to be able to play with him. 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:46.560
