2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: edition of Next Man Up because we got our QB

Speaker 1: one here for the first time.

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 2: This off season.

5
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: We got the boy that called him Jedi five Jad

00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: and Daniels. It was good, bad man, I'm good, bro.

00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 2: Man. First things first, bruh, he's getting the start of

9
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: year two.

10
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: What was this first NFL off season, like a first

11
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: official off season like for you?

12
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: Man?

13
00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 3: It was different.

14
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 4: I mean because you have so much time after going

15
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 4: through the season, you're going to draft, press and everything,

16
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 4: so it was it was It's different.

17
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 3: It was difficult to navigate.

18
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 2: Did you really feel like you had time? Man?

19
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 1: I feel like when you do what you do in

20
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: the year that you had, that rookie year you had,

21
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: everybody wants a piece, everybody wants you to talk, everyone

22
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,199
Speaker 1: wants you to sit down and do an interview. Did

23
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: you really get time to enjoy the fruits of your labor?

24
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: Yeah?

25
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 3: I did.

26
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 4: I think I had a team, and you know, my

27
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 4: family did a good job.

28
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: Like nah, you don't do nothing. You just take some

29
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 3: time for yourself and recharge.

30
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 2: When you look back, if you've gotten a chance to

31
00:00:58,600 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: look back. Have you gotten a chance to.

32
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: Reflect on really what that rookie year was or has

33
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: it just been just going straight forwar? Because I know

34
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: you're a guy that's really locked in it.

35
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 2: Don't look backwards too much.

36
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: Just to know.

37
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I kind of got caught up in well

38
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 4: I did last years, last year, and I'm like onto

39
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 4: year two because I got to go out there and

40
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 4: prove myself again. So a little bit I did, you know,

41
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 4: I was able to look back a little bit, but

42
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 4: I was still moving forward the whole time.

43
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: What to me is special about you is now you're

44
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: the bar for what a rookie quarterback needs to do.

45
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 1: Cam wardsh the door saying, it's all these quarterbacks that

46
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: come in one day.

47
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 2: We haven't even been drafted yet.

48
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: Are looking at Jaden Daniels and I know you had

49
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: that thing on your wall.

50
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 2: I want to be an NFL player. But a lot

51
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 2: of times with that, with all the fame and all the.

52
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Good stuff, comes a lot of negativity, a lot of

53
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: eyes on you, a lot of speculation. Man. You can't

54
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: even go to a basketball game piece right, But it's

55
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: been so great to see you navigate that so professionally. Man,

56
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: give advice to these future quarterbacks because all of them

57
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: are going to have to deal with that.

58
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: Right. The eyes are going to be on them, the

59
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: scope is going to be on them. How did you

60
00:01:59,280 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: maneuver that? Bro?

61
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: It was tough.

62
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: It was tough because everywhere you go, you know, as

63
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 4: you know, you get more fame and more recognition. You know,

64
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 4: people want a piece of you, like, oh, they want

65
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 4: you to do this or do that. So I mean

66
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 4: it's like, you know, no, know yourself and you know,

67
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 4: have a good team around you that's gonna able to

68
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 4: say no more.

69
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: You Uh.

70
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 4: That's probably the biggest thing is all seasons people say

71
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 4: no for me because it's tough for me to say no.

72
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: It's tough for me to tough people to know.

73
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 4: So you have the right people around you that's gonna

74
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 4: say no, or you know, have a conversation like this

75
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 4: is what I want to accomplish is off season. I

76
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 4: think this is good for my brand, This is good

77
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 4: for what I wanted to get accomplished, and you know,

78
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 4: and go from there.

79
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 1: But that's something a lot of rookies don't really grasp yet.

80
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: What keeps Jade and Daniels so grounded.

81
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 3: Just my foundational God.

82
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: That that's the main thing, just you know, leaning on

83
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 4: him because you know, at any point, you know, you

84
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: get too high, you get too low, like you can

85
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 4: take anything, like if you start think you're above everything

86
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 4: and you know, stuff like that, with a have a finger,

87
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 4: you ca'll be gone and now you back a rock bottom.

88
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: So no, just staying ground.

89
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 4: And I always remember where you came from, because none

90
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 4: of this would happened if you didn't come from diversity

91
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 4: that you went through.

92
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: And it's very obvious how confident you are, but you

93
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 2: also are very very humble. But I know you're harder yourself.

94
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 1: I know you look last season and say Jad and

95
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: Daniels could have done more. Talk about how you feeling,

96
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: what you want to improve after you've reflected on this

97
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: past season.

98
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just want to get better off fastest.

99
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,519
Speaker 4: That's you know, mentally, physically, you know, mostly I just

100
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: want to continue to grow, you know, on and off

101
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 4: the field, because I think off the field, I'm able

102
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: to grow.

103
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 3: I mean I'm able to grow on the field.

104
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: You know, take care of the people around me first,

105
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 4: you know, just you know, continue growing up, growing up,

106
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 4: continue being man.

107
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: Talk about the word growth. So I got to mention it. Man.

108
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: This picture behind me right here made some buzz because

109
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 1: your arms was popular little bit.

110
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: People were saying, this guy's gotten bigger, a stronger.

111
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: But Cliff Kingsbury also said in this Pressure Today that

112
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: you got bigger and got stronger.

113
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 2: Why was that a point of emphasis for you? Yeah?

114
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: I think just for me, it's like, okay, what can

115
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: I do better?

116
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 4: Can I ask more armor on, you know, to what

117
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: we're staying another you know, seventeen games hopefully more? And

118
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: you know, it was a long season last year, so

119
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 4: it's like I didn't know I was getting myself into.

120
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 4: Now I have a kind of idea this is what

121
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 4: I'm getting myself into going into year two. Now, it's like, okay,

122
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: put the team around me as ask questions, asked, bets ask.

123
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 4: You know, people reach out to other individuals like how

124
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 4: did you navigate your first off season?

125
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 3: How did you not navigate this?

126
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: And you know kind of take pitts and beat bits

127
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: and pizzas from it. But honestly, I really got that

128
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: advice from Bobby Wagner. So he gave me that advice.

129
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 4: We were having conversation and he's like, man, this is

130
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 4: what he did is first all was and hit up

131
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 4: a whole bunch of people. You know, they give advice like,

132
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: I think this works, it worked for me, this worked

133
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 4: for him.

134
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 3: Uh, we'll see. I'm gonna try it.

135
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 1: So and when you navigate that, you're getting your advice,

136
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: but you got to live it yourself, right, you got

137
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: to go through it yourself. What surprised you the most?

138
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: Did you mentioned it that seventeen game season? What surprised

139
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: you the most about that?

140
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 3: It's a long season? Yeah, a long season.

141
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: But they said, man, your rookie years your longest year

142
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 4: because you're going so much. You're basically going for a year,

143
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 4: You go to playoffs, you make a deep brand, so

144
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 4: you're basically going for a whole year as far as football.

145
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: So, uh, just.

146
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 4: Knowing how to be able to unplug and make sure

147
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 4: you're still pouring back into yourself and you know, the

148
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:19,919
Speaker 4: right energy and recharging.

149
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: And after this rookie year, everybody was looking at the

150
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: commanders of saying what are they going to do in

151
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: free agency?

152
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: What are they going to do in the draft.

153
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: Well, a big emphasis of that was adding some offensive lineman,

154
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: but also adding you some new toys as well, some

155
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: new weapons.

156
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: When you see a front office and coaching staff make.

157
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: That a priority, does that give you a little like

158
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: a little more confidence knowing that, hey, we're bought into

159
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels. We're gonna do whatever we can to make

160
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: him even more successful.
