9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: you were with us as we saw a national football

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: practice this morning, an American football practice this afternoon. A

11
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: lot of good football here at the seventy fifth Rees's

12
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. Coach Dave McGinnis, if I have to ask

13
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: you to highlight one guy, one guy who just reached

14
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: up and grabbed you today, who would you say that is?

15
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: Jackson? Jackson Powers Johnson, the center from Oregon. He's an underclassman.

16
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 2: I mean, the guy just looked like a professtion center.

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 2: I mean he's he's got three hundred and thirty pounds,

18
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 2: he's thick in the middle. He did not get knocked

19
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 2: back at all today. He climbed to the second level

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: I really liked his practice today.

21
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: Six three roughly three hundred and thirty pounds as coach mentions,

22
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: and he has played all of the interior spots in

23
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: the offensive line at Oregon. Most people see him as

24
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: the center. He says his goal is to be the

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: first center taken in the draft.

26
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: Well, he's got a chance. He's got a chance, because

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 2: I was very, very impressed with what he did today,

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 2: and he did it from the start to the finish.

29
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: I will say one thing about these coaches, the head

30
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: coaches that are running both of these practices, they gave

31
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: a lot of time to one on ones today, a

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 2: lot of time to one on ones for the defensive

33
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: line and the offensive lineman, and that's what scouts want

34
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: to see and coaches want to see. And a lot

35
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: of time a lot of time to the wide receiver,

36
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 2: defensive backs one on ones. But Jackson Powers Johnson just

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: stood out. And then once they got to the team game,

38
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: he was still that dude that very sell got displaced.

39
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: Ret Brian who was the player that stood out to

40
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: you from the two practices today.

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 3: I'm gonna stay on the offensive line and I'm going

42
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 3: to stay in the same position with another center from

43
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 3: LSU Charles Turner. Charles Turner six three, three hundred pounds

44
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 3: a nearly eighty three and a half inch wingspan. He

45
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: lined up at guard and at center today. And you

46
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: talk about a guy that showed some twitch to his

47
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 3: game movement very quickly, very athletic, very long, very flexible.

48
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 3: He's somebody I've been reading more and more about as

49
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: we came into this week, and he showed me that

50
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: in this practice today.

51
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: All right, Ramon Foster, Rhett Brian and coach Dave McGinnis

52
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: have gone with offensive lineman. You are an offensive lineman.

53
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Will you make it three for three as you pick

54
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: your player win a winner?

55
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 4: Mike, you are, sir?

56
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: All right?

57
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 5: That guy from me is Toyler Guiden. I heard him,

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 5: heard others talk about him. I honestly came in side

59
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 5: eyeing him. I didn't want to believe what they said

60
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 5: to me until I saw myself.

61
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 4: He's six seven three.

62
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 5: Twenty eight Oklahoma tackle, plays right tackle. But as athletic

63
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 5: as he looked, I.

64
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: Wouldn't put it out there that he wouldn't be able

65
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 4: to move over.

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 5: His hands was good. He sits up in his stands high,

67
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 5: but he plays lower. Then he actually starts out his

68
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 5: movements left the right was good. He went up against

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 5: Chris brass Well, they matched good on good today and

70
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 5: he had a good day also, and watching them to

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 5: battle push back at one another, you could tell coaches

72
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 5: coming up to him talking to those guys, primarily guiding

73
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 5: more than anything, and he held his own for God

74
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 5: has recently played tight end. He is a specimen and

75
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 5: I don't think he's far off from where people will say, oh,

76
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 5: he's a project.

77
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 4: No, I won't say he's a project. I think he

78
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 4: will learn on the job.

79
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah of NFL Network put out his new top

80
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: fifty today and it has some interesting things. As you

81
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: would guess, Caleb Williams is still number one, the quarterback

82
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: from USC obviously, Drake may is right there at the

83
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: top as well, Marvin Harrison is right there at the

84
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: top as well, and Jaden Daniels, the quarterback from LSU,

85
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: is number five. Then it gets really interesting. Terry on Arnold,

86
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: the cornerback from Alabama, is up to number six, which

87
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: is the highest I've seen him anywhere. Now again, this

88
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: is not a mock. This is his top fifty players.

89
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: The thing that's important to remember about DJ is DJ

90
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: talks to NFL people, so he didn't do this in

91
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: a vacuum. He's getting feedback from because he worked for

92
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,679
Speaker 1: NFL teams. He's getting feedback from people to his list

93
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: and what their lists are looking like. Joe Olt left

94
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: tackle from Notre Dame nine to leasey Fuaga, offensive tackle

95
00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 1: Oregon State, is eleven, ahead of Ola Fashadu, the offensive

96
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: tackle from Penn State, who's twelve, and then j C. Latham,

97
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 1: offensive tackle Alabama is thirteen. Troy Futana, the offensive tackle

98
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 1: from Washington, is sixteen, Tyler Geiton, offensive tackle from Oklahoma's seventeen,

99
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: Amarius Mems offensive tackle Georgia is eighteen, and then Jordan Morgan,

100
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: offensive tackle Arizona is at thirty one. All right, coach

101
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 1: Dave McGinnis, let's play a game. You love games. I

102
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: love games. You really don't.

103
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: I do.

104
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 1: But there's so many people who are saying, if you're

105
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: the Titans, you gotta go tackle at seven. You have to.

106
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: Now that could change based on what they do in

107
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: free agency, but let's just say they don't go with

108
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 1: a tackle in free agency and they're looking to do

109
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: one in the draft. Do they have to go tackle

110
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: at seven based on their own need or based on

111
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 1: what you're seeing after just one day and talking about

112
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: some of these prospects the majority of hum we're here,

113
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: Could they drop back or could they even wait until

114
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: the second round to go tackle?

115
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah? First of all, you don't have to do anything right.

116
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: And there's a lot there's a there's a lot of

117
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: way what the.

118
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 1: Fans are saying you do. So, I mean, I'm going

119
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: with the OT people and it's sort of what their

120
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: conversation is, you got to go tackle, you got to

121
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: go tackle, you gotta go tackle. Well, what you've got

122
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: to do is build this roster, okay, and you don't.

123
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: You don't.

124
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,479
Speaker 2: You don't have an overabundance of picks. Now, any of

125
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 2: those guys that you've mentioned at the top that will

126
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: be available at seven, and Joe Alt will be available

127
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: at seven. For Ashano Steal, I mean, with all due respect,

128
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 2: you know to to what DJ's doing right now. I

129
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 2: mean he's going to be up there, He's going to

130
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 2: be up there in that mix. So to me, it

131
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: depends on how strong you feel about a tackle a seven.

132
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 2: How strong do you feel if you feel really strong

133
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 2: that even though there are more tackles in here, we're

134
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 2: not going to get that guy for a long length

135
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 2: of time to put on that left side next to

136
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 2: Peter Skearansky. Then let's go get the guy. It's a

137
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: lot like. It's a lot like to me when Detroit

138
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: went after pane Sewel, they went after panee Sewel. You know,

139
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: with a pick that people thought, you know what, it's

140
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: a little you know, you're just coming in new, you're getting,

141
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: you're getting, you're getting a group together, and you go

142
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,239
Speaker 2: with an offensive tackle. The need is there.

143
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: Now?

144
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 2: Can you get other tackles? Sure you can, Sure you can.

145
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 2: But it's like a bird in a hand two in

146
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 2: the bush type of thing.

147
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: Too.

148
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: Depends on how many picks you can get by moving out.

149
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: But based on what you see and what you've seen

150
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: from some of these other guys, do you feel like

151
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 1: you could either potentially drop back and get one of

152
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: those guys later in the first round or get the

153
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: kind of quality you want at pick number thirty eight.

154
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: If you went with something different, like let's say you

155
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: took Arnold the corner at seven. You need a corner,

156
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: Sure you do. I mean they're hard to find. So

157
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: let's say you went there and you said, Okay, at

158
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: thirty eight, we're thinking maybe we'll go tackle based on

159
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: what you've seen. Do you feel better about the overall

160
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: top end talent at tackle after today?

161
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: Yes, okay, I'm of the same conversation. I'm with coach Mack.

162
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 5: I'm with the idea the talent that we saw today

163
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 5: in these tackles. I much rather stack picks as much

164
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 5: as I possibly can. If I can move from seven

165
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 5: to eighteen or twenty two and there's still some quality there,

166
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 5: give me that guy, even if that guy has to

167
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 5: play right tackle. Because here's a thing. You gotta somewhat

168
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 5: be real with yourself about what we're trying to do

169
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 5: here in Nashville. This isn't a one year fixed. This

170
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 5: is a this year. This is the next year. This

171
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 5: has been good in free agency. All of this is

172
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 5: compounded now to get back to where that standard is higher.

173
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 5: You have a firm baseline about everything that you're trying

174
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 5: to do. And here's the other side of it too,

175
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 5: from my side of it, looking at how you gotta

176
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 5: be as a GM, you gotta be as a franchise,

177
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 5: is what does it usually go Coach Mac. Top five

178
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 5: here supposed to be walking ready, go jacket caliber type

179
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 5: of guys for the most part.

180
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 1: Right.

181
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 2: If they're prospect wise prospect wise or not, then you've

182
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: mis evaluated.

183
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 5: In Top ten is instant starter for the most part too,

184
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 5: Like you're going in within like the first half of

185
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:28,679
Speaker 5: the season, you're starting.

186
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 4: There's a lot of pressure to get that right too.

187
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 5: So if I can move back, get a guy that's

188
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 5: a little bit safer, a little bit cheaper, still high quality,

189
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 5: high pedigree, I much rather take him. If this group

190
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 5: is what they said it is. And we saw a

191
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 5: good bit of these tackles here today too, as far

192
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,440
Speaker 5: as their ability to play, and they have some ability

193
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 5: to it. And the coach Mack hit me to a

194
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 5: term the other day, I e don't be an instant evaluator. Okay,

195
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 5: just because I think the kid from Arizona day didn't

196
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 5: have the greatest day doesn't mean tomorrow in teams he's

197
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 5: not gonna be good. I thought he was solid for

198
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 5: the most parts of the day. But of course the

199
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 5: guy that stood out to me was t Hall of Geiden.

200
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 5: He stood up far, far and beyond anybody else. And

201
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 5: you had him as well, Jeremi, I tribably had him

202
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 5: at seventeen. If I can move back at seventeen, get

203
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 5: me a third, maybe another fourth. On top of that,

204
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 5: we're living well.

205
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: And you make an interesting point in Rhett, I bring

206
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: you in on this because Jim Naggy, the executive director

207
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,080
Speaker 1: of the Reese's Senior Bowl, held his press conference this

208
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 1: morning and made what I thought was a fascinating point.

209
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: He said that because there's so few underclassmen in this draft,

210
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: and they're fifty four who declared early, and they're four

211
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: more who are exemptions, so it's a total of fifty eight.

212
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: If you compare that to twenty twenty, that's almost exactly

213
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: half half. The number in twenty twenty was one hundred

214
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: and fifteen, so that's fifty seven players difference. What he said,

215
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: Rahet is because so few underclassmen declared, and it's a

216
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: lot because of NIO, we know that, but because so

217
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: few declared, it guts rounds five through seven of the draft,

218
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: it guts draft boards. His point is that teams are

219
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: going to fight to go up instead of putting things

220
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,920
Speaker 1: off and trying to grab a bunch of Day three picks.

221
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: They're going to fight to go up to get more

222
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: draftable players on their own board. I thought that was fascinating.

223
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 3: I think I thought about that when he mentioned that

224
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 3: at the press conference myself, and the belief is is

225
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 3: that there's a good group in those middle rounds anyway, now,

226
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 3: it's going to accelerate the land grab for that. But yeah,

227
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 3: I never thought about that part of it till he

228
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: mentioned that this morning. I'm like, yeah, that's a real thing. Well,

229
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 3: last year it was eighty two, so it's dropped. Well,

230
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 3: I mean it's a whole Oh my gosh, I mean

231
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: that's twenty four players. That's that's literally three quarters of

232
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 3: around that are not there because guys are choosing to

233
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,080
Speaker 3: go back to school for another year. And guess what,

234
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: the Titans have a bunch of picks five, six, seven.

235
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, a bunch late and no. Three. To the point

236
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: about going up, do you think about dealing back from

237
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: seven to be able to get that third round pick

238
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 1: that you don't have right now?

239
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: Sure, that's that's that's part of the poker match. That's

240
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: part of the poker match. But and here's the other thing.

241
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: While we're sitting here talking like this at this round table.

242
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 2: It's not round, but let's say that it is. Okay,

243
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 2: I can't see it. They're sitting here. First of all, remote,

244
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: I'm glad you listened. When I talk to you, I

245
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 2: tried to coach. I e you listened.

246
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: I like that.

247
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: Just when when when players regurgitate to me good advice

248
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 2: I give them, I like that. I know it's going

249
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: through to me. To me, what is what is important?

250
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: This is not only going to be the Titans thinking.

251
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 2: Everybody else is thinking the same thing too. So when

252
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: you're talking, you're talking about your case as far as

253
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: when you shrink numbers, because the draft is a numbers

254
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: game anyway you shrink numbers. I mean, all of us

255
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: have been involved in the draft for a long time,

256
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: and you know how you're always searching. After about that

257
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 2: fifth or sixth round, that board starts to shrink pretty quick,

258
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 2: really quick. But everybody else is going to be thinking

259
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 2: that too, So you've got to put that into your

260
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 2: mind too.

261
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 1: The thing that I think the Titans fans and the

262
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: ot people need to hope the most is something that

263
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: Dane Brugler wrote about in The Athletic. One of the

264
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: questions entering the week is does Bo Nicks become a

265
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: top ten pick, the former Auburn quarterback who played it Oregon,

266
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: does he become a top ten pick during the course

267
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: of this week and then moving forward when he interviews

268
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 1: in the combine and those sorts of things. Ramon Foster,

269
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: if you're a Titan fan, you gotta be pulling for

270
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: that right.

271
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 5: You have to, because if he goes up, that pushes

272
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 5: everybody else back that you need. And of course, this

273
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 5: is a quarterback driven league, and a team's up top

274
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 5: always need those guys. We know Chicago does, we know

275
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 5: New England does. There's other teams in front of this

276
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 5: team that can push your guy backwards. We've seen this

277
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 5: happen before. Heck, let's go to a few years back. Now,

278
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,840
Speaker 5: this was to his own undoing, but Laramie Tomsel, he

279
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 5: got pushed back and the team benefited still because here's

280
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 5: the thing. If the talent is good, you're gonna always

281
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 5: find talent. As a coach is your job, and it's

282
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 5: the players responsibility and family and people surround them to

283
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 5: make him a better adult, pro and human being. Houston

284
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 5: is still benefiting from his mess up because he got

285
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 5: pushed back. That young man was a top five pick,

286
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 5: if not higher. So yes, Mike, that is the ultimate

287
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 5: dream of coach Mack. You bring up a point two

288
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 5: and I'm over here. My wheels is spending now because

289
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 5: we actually talking about real stuff. If the word is

290
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 5: out and there's no secrets in the NFL, everybody's saying

291
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 5: the same thing. Jim Nagge said that he's getting that

292
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 5: from an NFL tank. So the aggressiveness of some teams

293
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 5: that may be twelve maybe fourteen can actually benefit you

294
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 5: more so to move from seven to fourteen.

295
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 4: And you still got j c.

296
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 5: Lath, you still got Jordan Morgan, you still got all

297
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 5: these guys that you know can play at a high caliber. Yeah,

298
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 5: I'll take that and give me a three and give

299
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: me a four also, and I'll let you have number

300
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 5: seven because the top ten pick is valuable.

301
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 3: And Mike, here's a sidebar conversation that Ramona and I

302
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 3: had at practice today at the conclusion of the American

303
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 3: practice this afternoon. We don't know what Nicholas petti Frere,

304
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 3: how he works with this, and so what if he's

305
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 3: one of those tackles, and what if is what if

306
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 3: he is the left tackle? And then now you're looking

307
00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: at a right tackle instant. I mean that could change

308
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: the landscape of some things, and maybe even or they

309
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: think Jalen Duncan's the left tackle. Yeah, I mean, you know,

310
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 3: And so they're just reinforces the probability of moving down

311
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 3: if a bow Knicks moves up, because that's the thing.

312
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 3: The guys that are here at quarterback this this week,

313
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 3: they're trying to become the third quarterback in this draft.

314
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: And there'll be people in the camps in these different

315
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 3: thirty one other places that think Jayden Daniels is that,

316
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 3: and there may be their mind can be changing this

317
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 3: because no matter who you ask, and certainly with Daniel

318
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 3: Jeremiah you mentioned the top two, who's number three? And

319
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: if there's a third, then that means somebody's gonna go

320
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: grab after if it's not Bo Nicks and it's Jaden Daniels,

321
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: or there's four quarterbacks possibly before you get to seven,

322
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: could be and so and you haven't even talked about

323
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: grabbing the best at pass rusher, the best cornerback, the

324
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: best wide receiver, you know, all of those things.

325
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: Well, what if Malik Neighbors is there from the wide

326
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: receiver from LSU it's better than Jim Nabors. It's true.

327
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 1: Although he was out, he was fantastic. He was fantastic

328
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,240
Speaker 1: for all those years. But for the purposes of this conversation,

329
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: that gave me the eye roll. Yeah, go ahead, coach,

330
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 1: thank you. But I mean, if he's there at seven,

331
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: you're going can we pass him up?

332
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 2: You can pass anybody up if you've got something. I mean,

333
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 2: because I know, I know what it is. The thing

334
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 2: about this is, let's peel back another layer of this onion.

335
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 2: All of this is possible. We're talking about because we've

336
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 2: got a guy that we think is going to be

337
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: our quarterback.

338
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: That's right.

339
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 2: Now, that's the layer of the onion. That's important because

340
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 2: it's been a while. It's been a while, you know,

341
00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,479
Speaker 2: since you know, you know, the Titans had to trade

342
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 2: for a quarterback so that you had one that you

343
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: believe was going to be yours for a minute, and

344
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 2: but he wasn't on a rookie contract. So these are

345
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: the building blocks when you're working in today's National Football

346
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 2: League in the draft that you got to take advantage of.

347
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 2: So that being said, that being said, the fact that

348
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: you've got a guy that you believe with development with

349
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 2: what's gonna go on can be your quarterback, then there's

350
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: a lot of avenues opened up to you afterwards.

351
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: And the last two years you have used a two

352
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: and two threes counting what you're trading this year going

353
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: after quarterbacks, talking about Will Levis and talking about Malik Willis.

354
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: You're not going to have to do that this year.

355
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 5: To your point, Yeah, And I was just gonna add

356
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 5: in on top of that, as far as you draft

357
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 5: any of the best available what works for you, that's

358
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 5: the thing that we got to realize. So Brian Callahan

359
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 5: is gonna draft what works for him also, right. And

360
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 5: the thing that I'll go back to is the Pana

361
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 5: sul thing. Some thought he's gonna be a left tackle.

362
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 5: Detroit Is said, naw, he's a right tackle, And that's

363
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 5: okay with us. We just want the best five out there.

364
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 5: And if that is NPF going to left and you

365
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 5: actually still draft in a right tackle, I mean, you

366
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 5: got two guys that's been in the Titans building for

367
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 5: a couple of years with Peter Skearonci going to his

368
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 5: next year right, and so you got somewhat of a

369
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 5: balance and understanding that this is our franchise moving forward

370
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 5: in the success, it's on our backs. It's again we've

371
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 5: been saying left tackle, left tackle, left tackle. But if

372
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,920
Speaker 5: it's best available, that guy goes just so happens to play,

373
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 5: is right? Then you got something else too, because if

374
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 5: I'm not mistaking, I think we saw Jordan Morgan the

375
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 5: day line up at right tackle right.

376
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: So I mean you've got options, but I mean it

377
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 1: could be. I mean read if I told you right now,

378
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,880
Speaker 1: with the way you love the draft, that you could

379
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: have Alt at seven the left tackle from Notre Dame

380
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 1: and Jackson Powers Johnson at thirty eight the center. It's

381
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: not real sexy in terms of your first two picks.

382
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 1: Would you do it? Yes? He was? He was adamant, Well, remote, remote,

383
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: You're not You're not credible because if you're old, you

384
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: want to draft five offenses.

385
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 5: I had a good D lineman down here too, saying

386
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 5: that which D line it was? Oh, he just kept

387
00:19:52,880 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 5: on Brandon Fiskey from Florida Staff. He just kept showing, Uh,

388
00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 5: he's a player, and I'm looking at him. I'm just like,

389
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 5: why is he in the backfield again? I thought I

390
00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 5: was over talking Coach Mac in the stands I'm like,

391
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 5: there is again, there's fifty five again, there's some good

392
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 5: quality down here. He showed up today. He showed up today,

393
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 5: he did. And now I I'm gonna just fall back again.

394
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 5: But I believe my eyes today though, Coach.

395
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: That's all you can count on today. And of course

396
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 2: you know the film work you do. But anyway, but this,

397
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: this conversation is a good conversation because you know, I

398
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: spent some time with Ray Agney today this istant GM

399
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 2: at Detroit, and we're just going back over the foundation

400
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: that they built. And the first thing he said to

401
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: me was, Mac, we didn't care what everybody else thought

402
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 2: about our draft picks. They wanted Sam Laporta, they wanted

403
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 2: Jamiir Gibbs. They didn't worry about it, he said. We

404
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,959
Speaker 2: just went after ballplayers that we knew would fit what

405
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 2: we do.

406
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: To his point, well, I mean, let's face it, with

407
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans, the one thing that I think everybody

408
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: can agree on is this roster doesn't have enough difference made,

409
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 1: just does it. And you've got to find with seven

410
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 1: and thirty eight, regardless of the position they play, I mean,

411
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: regardless of what you do, you've got to find two

412
00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: difference makers who give you a level that they can

413
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 1: just help you go win a game. TAIJ. Spears was

414
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: at practice today here, he was back here to support

415
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: his two lane teammates. Great to see Taj. He's a

416
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: difference maker. They got him at eighty one. They need

417
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: more guys like that all over the team who just

418
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: are dominant winning players.

419
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,640
Speaker 3: At and Mike, I go back and reference a previous

420
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: OTP you've done recently when you were talking about roster

421
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 3: construction and your first dozen players, the middle guys and

422
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 3: then the back guys on the back end. You don't

423
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 3: to cement what you're talking about. You don't have enough

424
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 3: of that first dozen guys that are the difference man. Now,

425
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: the theory being the one through twelve, the thirteen through four,

426
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 3: and then the forty one through fifty three. That's their

427
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,359
Speaker 3: three different sort of neighborhoods that they live in the

428
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 3: Titans one through twelve is not good enough right now.

429
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 3: But to go back to finishing up answering your question

430
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 3: about the seven and thirty eight with Joe Alt and

431
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 3: with Jackson powers Johnson, I do that just for one

432
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: main reason. It goes back to what coach Max said

433
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:26,679
Speaker 3: a moment ago. If you believe will Levis is your guy,

434
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 3: he was sacked over forty times.

435
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: It was too many, too many.

436
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: And you're going to try to protect that investment, and

437
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 3: that would go for whoever is back.

438
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 1: That's right, So you gotta do that, agreed. All right,

439
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: let's talk about some of the guys we had a

440
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: chance to visit with today. I want to talk about

441
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: Quinnon Mitchell first. If you don't know, if you're listening

442
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 1: to the OTP and you don't know, Quinnon Mitchell's name,

443
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: cornerback out of Toledo who's originally from Florida, and he

444
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: was discussed like for example, he is number nineteen on

445
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah's top fifty. A lot of people think he

446
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,760
Speaker 1: is going to be the highest selected player from here

447
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: at the Senior Bowl. All he did today is go

448
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: out and basically dominate coach.

449
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: Just broke up every pass they threw at him. I mean,

450
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: I mean, if that's what a corner is supposed to do,

451
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,400
Speaker 2: is suppose that? Well, And to me, you talk about

452
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 2: Daniel Jeremiah, people wonder why are you talking about him?

453
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: Because Jim Naggy talked about Daniel Jeremiah today in this

454
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,199
Speaker 2: press conference, he said, every time Daniel Jeremiah pushes somebody

455
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 2: up the board, you know, we lose them. You know,

456
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,239
Speaker 2: but you know prior prior to coming in, which is

457
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 2: and you brought up a point because DJ talks to

458
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 2: people in this league, right, he talks to people that know.

459
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 2: I mean, he's not talking to the goober duber shoe

460
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 2: flies out there that circle around this stuff.

461
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: I mean, okay, he's.

462
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: Talking to He's talking to legit dudes. So you ask

463
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: you asked me about Kenyon Mitchell, coach, Please length, uh huh,

464
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 2: the big the best thing though with length. A lot

465
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 2: of times lengthy cornerbacks that are high cut have a

466
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 2: hard time in transition. When I say transition, I'm talking

467
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 2: about two step back pedal, sticky foot in the ground

468
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 2: and immediately go forward. He got that, He's got that

469
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 2: nineteen DJ.

470
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: I love that he sat in Ramon Foster's chair earlier

471
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,400

Speaker 1: us now on the OTV. Quannon Mitchell, cornerback Toledo. You

00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:55,639
Speaker 1: that happen?

478
00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 6: So through the process I had like an up and

Speaker 6: down process, has some academic and she was coming out

480

Speaker 6: of high school and Toledo. They just took me the

481
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 6: whole time. So that's why I wanted Toledo.

482
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: So you just stuck with them?

483
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:06,440

00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 2: has got a really good reputation. Yes, as far as

486
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 2: as far as as football wise, as a as a

487
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 2: corner there. What did you What did you take from

488
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: there with the competition that you were against that you're

489
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:24,520
Speaker 2: going to apply here?

490
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,639
Speaker 6: Uh, just how you go about things, you know what

491
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 6: I'm saying. How you come into the building and take

492
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 6: things and be like a pro and then just apply

493
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 6: that to the game.

494
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 7: Just going out and competing and working hard.

495
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 2: So technique wise, talk to us a little bit. We

496
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 2: watched tape on you talk to us about what you

497
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: feel like you need to improve on. Just give me

498
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 2: two things.

499
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, So at Toledo, I play a lot of

500
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, off man, right, So just

501
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 6: coming in, just coming in and repping, repping, my repping,

502
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 6: my press man, and then really just making every tackle too.

503
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 3: So yeah, sixty two targets, twenty seven catches for two

504
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 3: hundred and ninety yards, no touchdowns. That's that's the the

505
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 3: line against you in twenty twenty three in Toledo. What

506
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: do you think the best thing that you bring to

507
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 3: the game as you go through this process, What do

508
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 3: you think is the strengths that you're bringing to the table.

509
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 6: I would say boss kills, Like I love being around

510
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 6: the ball, knocking the ball. Now in accepting the ball.

511
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:20,399
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, I just want to be

512
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,359
Speaker 6: around the ball, and you know, I just touch it.

513
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 3: And so you're not necessarily going for the pick. You're

514
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,200
Speaker 3: just going to disrupt and then if you get a pick, great.

515
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 6: Now I'm going for the picky. I'm going for pick,

516
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying. But you know what I say,

517
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 6: if I got to it, just just knock it down

518
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 6: and just make a play on the ball.

519
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: So thing that jumped off the page to me about

520
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: Quinjon Mitchell six feet a little over six feet one

521
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: hundred ninety five pounds. That obviously is going to impress

522
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: a lot of teams right off the bat. Is that

523
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: what you thought you would measure here? Was that right

524
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: at it? Or did you think you were a little

525
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,040
Speaker 1: bigger or.

526
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 6: No, I'm six foot, but I was a little light.

527
00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:56,640
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying.

528
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 7: One thing I would the like for me?

529
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: So what do you want to play on a day

530
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 1: to day basis in the NFL?

531
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,160
Speaker 6: So I've been at two hundred, you know what I'm saying,

532
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 6: So just from there, they're the one ninety five for real.

533
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 1: So yeah, there are many people who are in the

534
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,200
Speaker 1: business of sort of scouting the draft for the media,

535
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,840
Speaker 1: and they are talking about you as potentially a guy

536
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 1: who can end up in the first round of the

537
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: draft as the buzz is out there. Do you feel

538
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: any pressure about that? Oh? I know, sir, I don't really.

539
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,639
Speaker 6: I don't really get into stuff like that for real,

540
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 6: because I mean, it's a lot of stuff going on.

541
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 6: So if I really like, get into it, and I'll

542
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 6: be all over the place for us. So no, I

543
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 6: just I don't get into it for real.

544
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,120
Speaker 2: The one on ones here for your position are are massive.

545
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they're big. So going into that, you played

546
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: a lot of Offman. Now they're going to ask you

547
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 2: to press down here and do so talk to me.

548
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: I know you've been working on that wherever you've been working,

549
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 2: where you've been working.

550
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 1: Out and training.

551
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: Talk to me about talk to me about that transition,

552
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 2: the difference between offman and the press.

553
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 6: I feel like Offman really harder than press man. I mean,

554
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 6: I can press it, just it just was like the

555
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 6: scheme that we was running. I feel like in our

556
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 6: scheme playing off Man, they gave me a lot of chances,

557
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 6: you know what I'm saying, break on the ball and

558
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 6: stuff like that. So I feel like it'll be an

559
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 6: easy transition. I just gotta like stay true to my technique.

560
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:19,120
Speaker 3: So, yeah, your frame, as Mike mentioned, you're the ideal

561
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 3: size to be a corner in the NFL. You feel

562
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 3: like that helps you against big, physical receivers, because I mean,

563
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 3: you're gonna see some big guys here, but they're definitely

564
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 3: gonna see him at the next level.

565
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, I feel like I feel like my frame and

566
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 6: my speed and all that I can match up against anybody.

567
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, Short, short receiver, big receiver.

568
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying, don't matter. You know what

569
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 6: I'm saying, I can go against anybody.

570
00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:43,280
Speaker 1: Who is your idol as a cornerback that you try

571
00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: to emulate in your style of play.

572
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 6: So like, I watch a lot of corners and like

573
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 6: try to take take stuff from us from different corners.

574
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 6: But a corner that I really like is Darius Slave

575
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 6: from the ecles.

576
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: Ah who also makes a lot of plays on the ball.

577
00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 6: Big play Slave, So yeah.

578
00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 2: What is it about his game? Just talk to you

579
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,680
Speaker 2: about his technique wise that you've you've taken from it,

580
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 2: because that's a good thing that you're doing. Yeah, watching guys,

581
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: go ahead.

582
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 6: He played a lot off man, you know what I'm saying.

583
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 6: He plays some press man too. But the thing that

584
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:12,920
Speaker 6: I like about him is he been doing it for

585
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 6: a long time. You know, I think I think this

586
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 6: might be like year ten or something like that, and

587
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 6: he still still ball is still going against the best.

588
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 7: Like you know what I'm saying.

589
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,239
Speaker 3: He young. Like here, rookie head, Quenyon, what is it

590
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 3: that you're working on this week and throughout this whole

591
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 3: process in your skill set?

592
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 6: I mean, like I said, really, just you know what

593
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 6: I'm saying playing a little bit more press man and

594
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 6: stuff like that, and UH just want to continue to

595
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 6: make plays on the ball when the opportunity comes.

00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 3: Yes, you are twenty one years old, very young in

620
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 3: this whole process. You were an early entrant to Penn

621
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: State and now you're here. Does it feel like it's

622
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 3: just been a world win?

623
00:30:58,360 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 7: Man?

624
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 8: It feels like I just roll into college last year

625
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 8: like that time fly man, But I enjoy every moment

626
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 8: of it.

627
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: Why did you decide to go ahead and come out now?

628
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: And also why did you decide that with the Senior

629
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 1: Bowl giving underclassman a chance, that this was the place

630
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 1: for you to showcase your skills?

631
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 7: Yeah?

632
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,440
Speaker 8: So, you know, I talked with my family and my

633
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 8: agents all the time, and just the I felt like

634
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 8: it was ready for me to actually go and chase

635
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,400
Speaker 8: my dream. And I was chasing since a little kid,

636
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 8: Like I felt like I've proven myself in college football

637
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 8: and now it's actually to go go do the thing

638
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,120
Speaker 8: that I've been dreaming of this whole time. So just

639
00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 8: talk to my family and my agent just prompted me

640
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 8: to make the decision to leave early and just just

641
00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 8: go chase what I was chasing since I was born man,

642
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 8: and for as far as the Senior Bowl, like, I

643
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 8: just felt like all the guys that were here were

644
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,400
Speaker 8: big name guys, and it was it was more than

645
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 8: enough conversation for me to come here and actually prove myself.

646
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 8: So I felt like this was just another opportunity for

647
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 8: me to help myself in this draft process and things

648
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:58,880
Speaker 8: of that nature.

649
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 2: So, Cana Yonder, you know, this is a seventy fifth

652
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:06,719

Speaker 8: am the player that they think I am.

665
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 3: So hard to leave your brother behind, your twin brother.

666
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 7: Kobe, Yeah, man, that was hard, man, it was real hard.

667
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 8: Like I remember when I was leaving to go train

668
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 8: for Florida and he dropped. He actually was the one

669
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 8: who dropped me off at the airport, and like right

670
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 8: right when we was pulling up to the airport, I

671
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 8: started getting.

672
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 7: A little emotional. Huh.

673
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 8: I held it together, a little tear drop, but he

674
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 8: ain't see it. I was turned away. So yeah, man,

675
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 8: it was tough though, But I'm good.

676
00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 3: But let me let me ask you this though, because

677
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:05,000
Speaker 3: you have obviously guys like you, talented, like you have

678
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 3: a sounding board, but you've got a really good one

679
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:09,280
Speaker 3: in your former teammate of Joey Porter, who's now at

680
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Steeler. Have you leaned on him to help you

681
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: through this process?

682
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 8: Yes, for sure, Like anytime I get an opportunity, I'm

683
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 8: I'm I'm asking Joey Porter a question about anything. He's

684
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 8: always he's always there to you know, give me a

685
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 8: little gems and bits and pieces of how everything's gonna go. Like,

686
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 8: like ever since I stepped on campus at Penn State

687
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 8: and seeing the way Joey works in a way he

688
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 8: just carries him. So I knew that was a guy

689
00:33:31,160 --> 00:33:33,080
Speaker 8: who's gonna be playing on Sundays. So I tried to

690
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 8: I tried to make sure I was around him as

691
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 8: much as possible, just so I can soak up as

692
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 8: much information and knowledge that I can.

693
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: Kaitlin, is Marvin Harrison Junior the best receiver you've gone against?

694
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 7: Yes?

695
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: What was that like? Uh?

696
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 8: So, he's one of those guys he has it all

697
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 8: like he's a he's a rare. He's one of the rare,

698
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 8: rare guys that I've seen in my career. His combination

699
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 8: aside speed catch radious. He takes no players off. His

700
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 8: effort is off the charts every play. So I feel

701
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 8: like that's what sets him apart. And he's definitely, you know,

702
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 8: a very good player who's gonna have a very good career.

703
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: But that's gotta help you this week that you have

704
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:13,799
Speaker 1: seen Marvin Harrison Junior and guys of that ilk in

705
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: your time at Penny Day. Yeah, for sure, be less

706
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: intimidating towards the one on ones and knowing you're being

707
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 1: evaluated on every part.

708
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 7: Yeah, definitely, Like I feel like that only helped me.

709
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 2: Talk to us a little bit. Now, let's get into

710
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,239
Speaker 2: some ball. Talk to us about you know, the techniques

711
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: that I know. We watch tape on you, we know

712
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 2: what you've played there. What do you think you need

713
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: to work on?

714
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 8: So I feel like I need to work on definitely

715
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 8: my knowledge of the game. More like you can never

716
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 8: you can never know too much in a game of football,

717
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 8: And I feel like I definitely need to improve on

718
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 8: my knowledge of the sport, like just like because I

719
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,280
Speaker 8: feel like corners cornerback is, if not arguably the hardest

720
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:57,480
Speaker 8: position in football. So just just refreshing my knowledge and

721
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 8: learning new things and just adding things my toolbox.

722
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:01,400
Speaker 7: So it can help me.

723
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: Talk about your toolbox. Where are you more comfortable? Of course,

724
00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: you're playing out there on the island. I mean, we

725
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 2: all understand, we all understand what that is. But you're

726
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 2: playing out there on the island?

727
00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:11,080
Speaker 1: Is it off?

728
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 3: Man?

729
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 2: Press man? Just tell me to talk to me a

730
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 2: little bit about what you saw.

731
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 7: I played a lot of press man. She did at

732
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 7: Penn State.

733
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,919
Speaker 8: Many dses came in with that defense, and I loved

734
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 8: it ever since he stepped on campus because that's the

735
00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,279
Speaker 8: type of guy I am. I'm a physical corner who

736
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 8: likes to get in in receiver's faces and put hands

737
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 8: on So definitely press man.

738
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: You're from Detroit, yes, sir, you play cornerback like a

739
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 1: guy from Detroit, not scared of anything, not at all.

740
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,000
Speaker 1: How does that background, in that attitude help you play

741
00:35:40,040 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 1: that position.

742
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 8: I feel like growing up in Detroit, man like, it's

743
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 8: one of those areas where you can easily get distracted,

744
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,919
Speaker 8: you can easily get your mind set off the main goal.

745
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 8: But my mom and dad, since I were young, instilled

746
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 8: in me that I had the opportunity of a lifetime

747
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 8: and that I had to take I had to take

748
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 8: advantage of it. So every day I wake up and

749
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 8: I take the you. I just remember, like not not

750
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 8: too many guys get this opportunity, so I have to

751
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:06,680
Speaker 8: make the best of you, and that just keeps me

752
00:36:06,719 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 8: pushing for wherever you do.

753
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 3: Kaylen King, Penn State Cornerback, thank you so much for

754

758
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: I thought it was good. I think he can I

759
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 2: think he can be better. The thing that he can

760
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: do that you could see he can run run well.

761
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 2: That the Zebra, the Zebra system that they're using. That

762
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 2: they I love this down here because I mean, Jim

763
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 2: Naggy's got this thing rolling and so they'll post it

764
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 2: on the board after the after the practice of the

765
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:46,399
Speaker 2: fastest times on Zebra. I think he was third. I mean,

766
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 2: the guy can run run now. The rest of that

767
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 2: stuff you could fix and needs to.

768
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,960
Speaker 1: Have a better day tomorrow, gotta get off being a

769
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: little grabby.

770
00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: Better day, better day to but not a little. I

771
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 2: mean I thought you know he would. He was grabbing

772
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 2: high too, which is get you any time you know

773
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 2: you can grab you teach grabbing down by the belt,

774
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 2: sure on the turn and all that stuff and all

775
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 2: that stuff. But he was too high today.

776
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fascinating.

777
00:37:11,920 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 5: So Coach mc and I listened to some stuff on

778
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 5: our ride down and Jim Naggy talked.

779
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 4: About he talked about kaylen King.

780
00:37:18,719 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 5: And st last year. He said that, you know, the

781
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 5: scouts were going in to Penn State to look at

782
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 5: Joey Porter June and said, of course they can't talk

783
00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 5: to him, they can't visit with him, but of course

784
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 5: people talk and said most of the scouts that they

785
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 5: talked to walked out.

786
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 4: Talking about Kaylen King.

787
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,439
Speaker 5: So it's fascinating he's been on a radar and it's

788
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 5: interesting he must teach grabbing at Penn State simply because

789
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 5: that was one of Joey Porter Jr.

790
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: It was the biggest faults. It was committee penalties. Rhtt.

791
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,360
Speaker 1: I thought your point though about his relationship with Joey

792
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: Porter Jr. And your question to Kaitlyn King was really

793
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: spot on in the way he's gotten advice about how

794
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: he's got to work through everything. And he was a

795
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 1: guy that a lot of scouting people thought had an

796
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,239
Speaker 1: up and down twenty twenty three more to prove in

797
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 1: this process, but man, all the tools are there.

798
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:08,239
Speaker 3: They are, and the way I framed it, I asked

799
00:38:08,280 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 3: him about him leaving his twin brother, Kobe, who he

800
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 3: played with his linebacker at Penn Stint and how hard

801
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 3: that was. But he has a veteran voice and a

802
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 3: guy who's already been around the block one year with

803
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:20,799
Speaker 3: Joey Porter to kind of help him through that, which

804
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 3: is so valuable to use as a sounding board to

805
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 3: know what to expect, to know what to look out

806
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 3: for and try to avoid pitfalls, all those things.

807
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,799
Speaker 2: Here's the number one thing he has though that we

808
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 2: talked about grabbing him. You can teach all of that.

809
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 2: The thing he has that you can't teach speed. Oh rap,

810
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 2: he got speed.

811
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,160
Speaker 1: And he's not scared. No, Mike, you know he else

812
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: was fast. Luke McCaffrey. Luke McCaffrey was fast. He had

813
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: just a tick over twenty miles an hour. Yeah, Luke McCaffrey.

814
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: And if the last name sounds familiar, it's because he's

815
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 1: a McCaffrey. He's Ed McCaffrey's son. He's Christian McCaffrey's brother,

816
00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 1: younger brother. He was a quarterback coming out of high school.

817
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: But you know, he makes some interesting points. I don't

818
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 1: want to totally foreshadow the interview we're about to play,

819
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: but really good looking receiver out of Rice coach. I

820
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:14,319
Speaker 1: thought he had a good day.

821
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 2: He did have a good day, and I liked him,

822
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 2: and I like visiting with him. He's football smart, smart.

823
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 3: Smart, and he brings value as a special team's return

824
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:24,240
Speaker 3: guy as well.

825
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:25,959
Speaker 1: You love all those things.

826
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: Good, he's good, and you knew his route tree was

827
00:39:28,560 --> 00:39:31,439
Speaker 3: gonna be good because guess what, his dad was pretty good, right,

828
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:33,879
Speaker 3: kind of learned some things.

829
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 1: His dad was really good. Started off as a quarterback,

830
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 1: finally ended up a receiver from earlier today, Luke McCaffrey

831
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver from Rice with us on the OTVLD. Luke

832
00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 1: McCaffrey wide Receiver, Rice. Does it still sound weird to

833
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: you just a little bit when I say wide receiver

834
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: considering how much quarterback you played.

835
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 9: No, I think throughout my career I was always the

836
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 9: slash's that's what my old teammates used to call me,

837
00:40:02,320 --> 00:40:05,280
Speaker 9: And so I was kind of quarterbacks slash receiver, slash

838
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 9: running back, slash safety. And so it kind of feels

839
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,839
Speaker 9: nice to have a home, to have a label now. So,

840
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:14,160
Speaker 9: I mean, I'm super comfortable with the wide receiver.

841
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: So when you finally moved full time, I guess in

842
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 1: the spring of twenty two, Yep, that just became. That

843
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: was not a big jump for you.

844
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 7: No, it was awesome.

845
00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 9: It was it was freeing to be honest, because I

846
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,560
Speaker 9: felt like that was the first time in my life

847
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 9: I'd been able to just enjoy the game.

848
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 7: You know, you put so much hard work into it.

849
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 9: You know, you want to play with play with the

850
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 9: guys around you, and so I think that was the

851
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 9: first time in my career that I really felt free

852
00:40:38,239 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 9: to sort of just let the reins, let the reins fly,

853
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 9: and go from there.

854
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 2: I'm a TCU alum, So we'll put that aside right now.

855
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:49,200
Speaker 2: The frogs in the owls.

856
00:40:49,200 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 1: Oh yeah.

857
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 2: Look, coming from a quarterback moving to the wide receiver,

858
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:57,000
Speaker 2: you've got a better perspective as far as to what's

859
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:58,600
Speaker 2: going on. How has that helped you?

860
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah?

861
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 9: Well, for first off, I think might be one of

862
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 9: the first people to really have a little bit of

863
00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 9: an aggressive edge against Rice. I feel like a lot

864
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:07,200
Speaker 9: of people like.

865
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:09,719
Speaker 2: To play played Rice for all of my career down

866
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:11,240
Speaker 2: there because it was in the Southwest Conference.

867
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, we all played so incredible history, yeah, really good history.

868
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:15,560
Speaker 1: Yeah.

869
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 9: But uh, going back to that, I think it helped

870
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,240
Speaker 9: a ton, especially in film study preparing for the week.

871
00:41:20,600 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 9: You're really able to kind of diagnose a defense, know

872
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 9: what's going on in the field. But I think when

873
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 9: it comes down to it, I actually had to dumb

874
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,320
Speaker 9: a lot of that down to the extent of a receiver.

875
00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:31,800
Speaker 9: You're almost going one on one with someone every play,

876
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:34,399
Speaker 9: and so you don't have to worry about what the

877
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 9: what the three texts doing, you don't have to worry

878
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 9: about what the front's doing. And it helps to to

879
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 9: understand the game and to prepare for the game. But

880
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:42,399
Speaker 9: once you're in the moment, you got to just let

881
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 9: it rip and let it fly.

882
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, expand upon.

883
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:45,400
Speaker 1: That a little bit.

884
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,799
Speaker 2: So you're talking about I mean, it's like having It's

885
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 2: like taking your high beams off and putting your dams on,

886
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: but you're focused more focused on what's in front of you.

887
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 2: And also you've got a chance to know what the

888
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,840
Speaker 2: quarterback's thinking a little bit. Talk about that. So, yeah, exactly,

889
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,360
Speaker 2: I think football is a timing and precision.

890
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 9: Sport, right, you have to have that cohesiveness with your

891
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:07,880
Speaker 9: whole unit, especially at quarterback and receiver. And so I

892
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 9: think just understanding that and then the level of the

893
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 9: level of communication that plays into the relationship between football

894
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,600
Speaker 9: players and quarterbacks and receivers was really special because you know,

895
00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 9: I feel blessed to have gone through that because I

896
00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:23,399
Speaker 9: feel like I can talk to quarterbacks on a level

897
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,479
Speaker 9: that other guys probably can, and that just helps helps

898
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 9: the team at the end of the day.

899
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 3: Luke, you spoke with a sense of relief talking about

900
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 3: how much pressure it takes off of you from transitioning

901
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:36,879
Speaker 3: from quarterback to wide receiver. I hear that in your

902
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 3: voice because I think about when you played for Scott Frost.

903
00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 3: You started a game versus Penn State, Right, yeah, yeah,

904
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 3: and so from what But the question is what's the

905
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 3: what's the hardest thing about trans transferring positions like this

906
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 3: from a quarterback position to a wide receiver.

907
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 9: Oh, I mean, there's a lot that goes into it.

908
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 9: I think the whole first year that I that I

909
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 9: had transitioned, I just focused on the fundamentals. I wanted

910
00:43:01,280 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 9: to learn how to get off press, wanted to learn

911
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,239
Speaker 9: how to get out of breaks, wanted to learn how

912
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 9: to do all those basic needs that that you have

913
00:43:07,840 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 9: when you're a receiver, right. And then I think as

914
00:43:10,520 --> 00:43:13,280
Speaker 9: I've progressed, I've been able to apply those to where

915
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 9: now I can try out different releases and different tops

916
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 9: of the break at different moments, and then kind of

917
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,799
Speaker 9: put it all together at the end of the day.

918
00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 1: How much did you talk to your dad about wide

919
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,719
Speaker 1: receiver when you made the full transition?

920
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 7: Oh a whole lot.

921
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:28,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, he wanted to make sure I was confident in

922
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 9: the decision and the minute the minute that he sensed

923
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 9: the genuine want and the genuine passion for this. I

924
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,840
Speaker 9: think I started going to him with questions immediately and

925
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,000
Speaker 9: he started responding that was pretty cool. It's it's pretty special,

926
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 9: and there's no doubt that I'm probably more blessed than

927
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 9: anybody in the world. Was such a technician, yeah, in

928
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 9: his career exactly, such a technician and such a competitor,

929
00:43:51,680 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 9: and so everything from you know, taping your jersey to

930
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,799
Speaker 9: cutting out different insules in your pads so that you're

931
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 9: a little bit lighter is everything that he dove his

932
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 9: whole entire mind into and so it's pretty cool to

933
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 9: have somebody who went through that already.

934
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 1: In today's world, like coming down to mobile, is there

935
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: extra pressure being a McCaffrey right now?

936
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 9: I wouldn't say so. I think actually there's probably less

937
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 9: pressure coming from a small school because I think a

938
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 9: lot of people, you know, haven't seen me play to

939
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 9: an extent, and so I think it's really fun to

940
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,120
Speaker 9: just be able to be free out here and to

941
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 9: kind of show everybody you know, who I think I

942
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 9: am throughout the last season and the season before that,

943
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 9: because not a lot of people, you know, watched our

944
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 9: games this year, and so I think it's such a blessing,

945
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 9: such a cool opportunity.

946
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of that now down now, down here, you're

947
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 2: gonna be You're gonna be going against corners from different

948
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 2: places at different levels. The one on ones down here,

949
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 2: I'm just speaking from a few years of experience in

950
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,960
Speaker 2: this league is really critical and important. What are you

951
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 2: concentrating on there?

952
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, So again that goes into just dumbing down the process.

953
00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 9: So you know, I get to the line, and I

954
00:44:54,440 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 9: have my response to whatever's out there. Right, if they're pressed,

955
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 9: I want to do something specific. If they're if they're

956
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 9: playing off, I want to do something different. And so

957
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 9: just going through that process every single play, because you know,

958
00:45:05,960 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 9: it's a long week, a lot of things are gonna

959
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 9: go well, a lot of things are probably gonna go bad, right,

960
00:45:10,480 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 9: And so I think a big part of what makes

961
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 9: good football players is people who can work through all

962
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 9: that junk and get better at the end of the day.

963
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 9: And so I hope every single day I learned something

964
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 9: and I'm just able to kind of play free and

965
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:23,160
Speaker 9: grow throughout the week.

966
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:25,399
Speaker 2: Let me just say as a as a long time

967
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:27,840
Speaker 2: coach in this league and having coached down here, and

968
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 2: I know that's what people are looking for down here

969
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,319
Speaker 2: is improvement day to day because they expect. They don't

970
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 2: expect you to know everything the first day as you're

971
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 2: as you're well aware, but the improvement and you're you're

972
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,799
Speaker 2: spot on with that, the improvement day to day is

973
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 2: important and to be able to do that.

974
00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 3: Everybody's got something they're working on, and you're still working

975
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 3: on your craft as you've moved the wide receiver. But

976
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 3: what do you think your strengths are that will show

977
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 3: up this week and in this process going forward.

978
00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think something that U that people probably didn't

979
00:45:56,280 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 9: see in my game entirely for some reason, just from

980
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 9: talking with others, is the ability to run routes, the

981
00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,200
Speaker 9: ability to create separation. I think I've shown a great

982
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 9: ability to catch the ball in traffic, to make contested plays.

983
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,400
Speaker 9: I think shown good good run after the catch. But

984
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 9: I'm excited to kind of show off what I've learned

985
00:46:14,040 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 9: the last year, last year and a half from a

986
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 9: route running standpoint.

987
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 1: Luke McCaffrey, so good to meet you, and I know

988
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: an exciting time in your life and your family's life.

00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: Congratulations on all of that. Good luck the rest of

990
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:26,920

994
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: Good to see you, Luke McCaffrey, wide receiver from Rice

995
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:46,080
Speaker 1: with us on the OTP. Good to visit with him.

996
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: We watched receivers like crazy today because obviously the ot

997
00:46:51,200 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: people at all Titans fans know this team has got

998
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 1: to upgrade its receiving cores. There are a bunch to

999
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:02,520
Speaker 1: choose from down here, all shapes and sizes. The Xavier

1000
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 1: leaguets from South Carolina, Uh, certainly a fun player to watch.

1001
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 1: I had a chance to visit with Jamari Thrash, the

1002
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 1: wide receiver from Louisville. You'll be able to see that

1003
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 1: at Tennessee Titans dot com. And he's got he's got

1004
00:47:16,040 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 1: a lot of speed. He cannot wait to run at

1005
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 1: the combine. So kind of on and on and we

1006
00:47:22,719 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: just you know, had the interview with Luke McCaffrey. Anybody

1007
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: else grab you at receiver today?

1008
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:31,120
Speaker 3: Rhtt Uh there's one in particular, and I wrote down several,

1009
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 3: but Lad McConkey from Georgia with the stop start skills

1010
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 3: that he possesses and showed down there where he in

1011
00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 3: one on ones is just snapping some guy's ankles.

1012
00:47:41,920 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 1: Uh.

1013
00:47:42,480 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 3: And of course we know all about him because the

1014
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 3: way George's program has been the last two or three years.

1015
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,279
Speaker 3: But uh, he he continued to display that in the

1016
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 3: first practice.

1017
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1018
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:55,439
Speaker 5: One from me was Ricky Parasol and from Florida. Yeah,

1019
00:47:55,480 --> 00:48:00,000
Speaker 5: from Florida. Familiar with him too. Okay with that being said,

1020
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:02,000
Speaker 5: though they had him working in the slot. He was

1021
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,440
Speaker 5: smoothing his route, running good hands man and could separate.

1022
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 5: So we had a ball thrown behind him, put it

1023
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,759
Speaker 5: on this hip and brought it in. Ricky Pirisol is

1024
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 5: a wide receiver that I yeah, I'm gonna watch again

1025
00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:13,760
Speaker 5: tomorrow to see if he does it again.

1026
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:18,080
Speaker 2: You got one, yeah, davontees Walker, the kid, Yes, from

1027
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:21,160
Speaker 2: from North Carolina. You could do. He's he's raw, he's raw,

1028
00:48:21,200 --> 00:48:23,919
Speaker 2: but he's got he's got some skills. They as I said,

1029
00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:25,720
Speaker 2: both teams did a lot of one on ones today.

1030
00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 2: But when he takes off, he can take off.

1031
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: He's twenty sixth on Daniel Jeremiah's Top fIF Well.

1032
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 2: That's because Daniel called me and asked me.

1033
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 3: Is ask me he revealed himself as a source.

1034
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 2: He asked me what I thought?

1035
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 1: You're a source? Now that's good. Uh lad McConkey that

1036
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:48,120
Speaker 1: you referred to has fascinated me because you watch him

1037
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: and you think, oh, well he's this, and then you're

1038
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 1: like no, and then you watch him do something else

1039
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:54,919
Speaker 1: and you think, oh he's this, and it's like no.

1040
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,239
Speaker 1: I don't think there's really anything he can't do. He

1041
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: is a very complete player. Georgia used him in different ways.

1042
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: They used him underneath, they used him over the middle,

1043
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: they used him on deep shots. I mean there's a

1044
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,279
Speaker 1: lot he can do. Musician versatility, he's got that. I mean,

1045
00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:14,520
Speaker 1: he is just a really good receiver. Forty fourth on

1046
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:18,280
Speaker 1: Daniel Jeremiah's Top fifty list. The wide receiver from Georgia

1047
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:21,120
Speaker 1: who could have come back for another year but decided

1048
00:49:21,160 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 1: to go out. I caught him post practice this afternoon

1049
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,719
Speaker 1: on the American team. Georgia wide receiver Lad mccaukee on

1050
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:35,360
Speaker 1: the OT team. Lad mccaukey wide receiver, Georgia. Some people

1051
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: were surprised that you chose to come here because you've

1052
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 1: played so much football. People have seen what you can do.

1053
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: Why come to the senior ball.

1054
00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:45,360
Speaker 10: It's another chance to compete and this is football. This

1055
00:49:45,400 --> 00:49:47,399
Speaker 10: is fun. It's not like you're having me do something

1056
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 10: I don't like. I love doing this and practice one

1057
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 10: on ones all that stuff. It's fun and another impression

1058
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 10: from these in front of these scouts and all these coaches.

1059
00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,239
Speaker 10: So come out here, do my job and let the

1060
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 10: rest take care of himself.

1061
00:49:58,120 --> 00:49:59,680
Speaker 1: What have been working on since the end of the

1062
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 1: joy just season.

1063
00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 10: Yeah, I've been training down to XO, So it kind

1064
00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 10: of flips a little bit. Obviously doing on football and

1065
00:50:05,920 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 10: stuff like that, but really speed training, being explosive, working

1066
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 10: on combine drills, and I mean, after this, that's what

1067
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:13,439
Speaker 10: That's what's in my stote, that's what tien I my radar,

1068
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 10: so attack that even more when I get back after this.

1069
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 1: What are you hoping to run when you get to

1070
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:17,959
Speaker 1: the combat.

1071
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 10: We'll see all.

1072
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,799
Speaker 1: Right in the different interview setting, some of which you've

1073
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: already sort of gotten into what sorts of questions are

1074
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 1: teams asking you.

1075
00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,319
Speaker 10: I mean, so far it's kind of just been basically info.

1076
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 10: I mean, they just want to know about you. You know,

1077
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,359
Speaker 10: what kind of person you are, know what you came from,

1078
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 10: why'd you choose Georgia, And then obviously it's gonna start

1079
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:35,400
Speaker 10: rapping up, but I mean they really just want to

1080
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:36,800
Speaker 10: get an idea of you, how you feel in the

1081
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 10: football field, how you prepare, what you do game weeks,

1082
00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:42,320
Speaker 10: how you recover stuff like that. Then obviously your history,

1083
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:43,120
Speaker 10: so that's.

1084
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:44,880
Speaker 1: Something out on you. Seems like one thing that you

1085
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: have the ability to prove is that you can be

1086
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 1: a slot receiver, you can be an outside and receiver.

1087
00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: You can play really anywhere. Is that something that Mobile

1088
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:52,920
Speaker 1: gives you a chance to do.

1089
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:54,879
Speaker 10: Yeah, definitely. I mean you'll probably saw my day working

1090
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,280
Speaker 10: inside and and outside. That's something I've did at Georgia.

1091
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 10: So I mean they did a good job. We would

1092
00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:00,720
Speaker 10: a twelve person now I'd go in the slot, eleven

1093
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 10: I'd be more outside, So they move me all around.

1094
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,960
Speaker 10: So I'm comfortable with it. I've told all the coaches

1095
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 10: and everybody I've met with, like I can play inside,

1096
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 10: I play outside.

1097
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,719
Speaker 1: So seem very complete. So one wonders what does Lad

1098
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:14,120
Speaker 1: mcconkee have to work on to continue to impress NFL

1099
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:15,480
Speaker 1: teams through this whole process.

1100
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 10: It's a game of inchest So I always say, as

1101
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,279
Speaker 10: a receiver, you can always work your hands better at

1102
00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 10: the line of scrimmage on top of routes, just a

1103
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,480
Speaker 10: second level release of stuff like that and then being efficient.

1104
00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:27,480
Speaker 10: I'm not fall stepping, not slipping. I'm coming out of

1105
00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:29,040
Speaker 10: break because I know the window just gets that much

1106
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:30,279
Speaker 10: more tighter when you get to the next level.

1107
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 1: That's Lad mcconkeye, wide receiver from Georgia. Really impressed with him.

1108
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 2: Where's Daniel Jeremiah? I got Pearsol He's not in the

1109
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:43,360
Speaker 2: top fifty.

1110
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,959
Speaker 4: Okay, I think some got him second third round.

1111
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 5: But if you're looking at a special see if they

1112
00:51:48,840 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 5: line them up and slot, that's.

1113
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 4: Probably where you would draft a guy like that.

1114
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:55,120
Speaker 5: Would you say so, Mac and your history drafting those

1115
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:55,840
Speaker 5: types of guys.

1116
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 2: I just think he's a really, really smart, yeah football player.

1117
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 1: Well, the thing about Pearsaw is he's got some good

1118
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 1: size and he's got some of the stop and go

1119
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 1: part of it that you want. Pearsaw came in nearly

1120
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:11,760
Speaker 1: six ' one one hundred ninety three pounds.

1121
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:12,040
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1122
00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 1: Mconkey came in and this surprised some people because when

1123
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,839
Speaker 1: he saw him on TV, you sort of thought he's

1124
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:22,320
Speaker 1: this little guy, and turns out he's five to eleven

1125
00:52:21,960 --> 00:52:26,280
Speaker 1: one eighty seven pounds, so he has decent size. Yeah.

1126
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,279
Speaker 1: The guy who shocked me most with the size then,

1127
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: and I mean it totally took me aback was the

1128
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 1: was the running back from Missouri. I was. I was

1129
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: stunned that Cody Schrader. When you saw him on TV,

1130
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 1: you thought he was this big physically five eight two

1131
00:52:45,200 --> 00:52:49,080
Speaker 1: o seven is a fire hydrant. He ran well, he

1132
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,799
Speaker 1: did a good job overall. I didn't think he was

1133
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,160
Speaker 1: the best back on the day. Who'd you think the

1134
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 1: best back was? Rhett?

1135
00:52:57,680 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 3: I don't know about the very best, but one of

1136
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 3: the best I think is Marshawn Lloyd from Southern cal

1137
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 3: who used to play at South Carolina the other USC,

1138
00:53:06,760 --> 00:53:10,799
Speaker 3: the other USC five star out of Damatha coming out

1139
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,759
Speaker 3: was a huge prospect for South Carolina Torpenee and then

1140
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:21,359
Speaker 3: had two years transfers to Southern cal and has a

1141
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 3: really nice twenty twenty three. I think one of the

1142
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 3: things you like about him is he's not used up.

1143
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:30,120
Speaker 3: I don't even think he has three hundred total carries

1144
00:53:30,400 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 3: in his college career. And I think you, I think

1145
00:53:33,719 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 3: you like that. I'm still disappointed that that Jalen writes.

1146
00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 1: Not here h me too, Me too, because I wanted

1147
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:45,160
Speaker 1: to see him in this competition too. I want to

1148
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 1: see him doing pass pro I want to see him

1149
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: in the passing game because I mean his speed and

1150
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,240
Speaker 1: some of these backs are fast, some of them are quick,

1151
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,040
Speaker 1: some of them are in between, some of them both.

1152
00:53:57,080 --> 00:54:00,160
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's anybody here who has the

1153
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,240
Speaker 1: gear that Jalen Right from Tennessee has.

1154
00:54:03,280 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 2: Not the sudden gear. Oh no, not not the sudden gear.

1155
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,760
Speaker 2: The guy I liked, Rashein Ali from Marshall.

1156
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,879
Speaker 1: I had a chance to talk to Rashid Ali, and

1157
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:14,880
Speaker 1: Rashein Ali is uh. It's really an interesting dude, bigger

1158
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:17,160
Speaker 1: than we thought. He's another guy. You saw him, you

1159
00:54:17,160 --> 00:54:20,880
Speaker 1: thought he's this little kind of No, he's five eleven,

1160
00:54:20,920 --> 00:54:24,000
Speaker 1: two hundred and ten pounds in just good size, and

1161
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: he had some quicks that were more toward Jalen Right

1162
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: than maybe anybody else. Am I oversimplifying, right? No, I

1163
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: think that's that's correct. Yeah, I think though Jayalen Right

1164
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:39,439
Speaker 1: is more sudden. Yeah, okay, Jalen Wright's a sudden dude,

1165
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,640
Speaker 1: he is. And listen, I'll go round the table. Are

1166
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 1: the Titans drafting a running back in this draft? Regardless

1167
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:48,799
Speaker 1: of what happens. Are the Titans drafting a running back?

1168
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: I would think not, no, no, okay, I would think

1169
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: so yes, yeah, I do too. You're three to one

1170
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 1: on that.

1171
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 5: I know, and I basically on the fact that if

1172
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 5: you think Taj is a guy, you probably find a

1173
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 5: veteran guy to actually help lead him to.

1174
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: I think you'll do that. I mean, in regardless if

1175
00:55:05,120 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: Henry's not back, but regardless of what happens, if you

1176
00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: know and all to talk about Derek is all to

1177
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: talk about Derek, But regardless of what happens. I think

1178
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 1: from a value standpoint, you're taking aback somewhere in this draft.

1179
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,799
Speaker 1: That's fair, and so I think down here is an

1180
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:26,600
Speaker 1: interesting place to watch that. I think you're probably signing

1181
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 1: a veteran too.

1182
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:32,920
Speaker 3: And the potential free agent veteran running back list is impressive.

1183
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 3: Always quite a few names.

1184
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's become more and more impressive. Every year because

1185
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 2: just just of what the valuation rightly or wrongly, that

1186
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 2: the position is carrying right now.

1187
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 5: What's beautiful though about that position and it gets it

1188
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:51,400
Speaker 5: devalues it too, is everybody dreams of playing that position.

1189
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 5: So the guys that make it to this level are

1190
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,360
Speaker 5: actually pretty good at it. It was two guys on this

1191
00:55:55,480 --> 00:55:58,800
Speaker 5: list that I was looking at. Is Dylan Lobby from

1192
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:00,040
Speaker 5: New Hampshire.

1193
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 1: Who had one of the fastest times of the day

1194
00:56:02,040 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 1: on the on the tracker.

1195
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,359
Speaker 5: He was good out of the backfield too, and the

1196
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 5: other one was Isaiah Davis out of South Dakota State.

1197
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 5: Both showed flashes and catching out of the backfist. One thing,

1198
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,200
Speaker 5: coaching back, you said, you have to be able to

1199
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,400
Speaker 5: show up running back, can you block? Can you catch?

1200
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,359
Speaker 5: And I forget the other one coach back, I gotta

1201
00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 5: I gotta look at my.

1202
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 7: Notes on that.

1203
00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 2: Listen a little closer.

1204
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: What's the other one?

1205
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 5: Got to block, gotta be able to catch and got

1206
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 5: a block, gotta be able to catch and vision.

1207
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 3: Vision vision vision vision. That's good discussion. This has been fun.
