Speaker 1: really appreciate them giving me the opportunity to play. And

19
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 1: I knew that you know, wherever they're gonna be, you

20
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: know things are gonna go right. So um, I was

21
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: just you know, really wanting to wanting the opportunity to

22
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: play here, and thankfull I got it. Over the course

23
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: of your career, you played right tack within the other spots,

24
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: but you've been a left tackle and you've been a guard.

25
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: To do you consider right tack in your natural position? Yeah,

26
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: right tackle is definitely my most natural position. I played

27
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: it the longest to play it in college. You know,

28
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: I've been able to bounce around to play different positions,

29
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: so if needed, you know, I can do that. But

30
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: my favorite spots right tackle. What is it about your

31
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: game and the way you play that you think fits

32
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: right tackle? I mean, I'm just I'm gonna give it

33
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 1: a hundred intent every single snap. That's just that's just me.

34
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: That's just my personality. I was undrafted, I was you know,

35
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: I didn't have a scholarship in college, so I mean

36
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: that's just been my mindset. I've always just gotta work extra,

37
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: just got to do more to make myself stand out

38
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: or to make myself feel to compete with the best.

39
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: So just always just giving it a hundred percent. I

40
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: just try to just attack, you know, and just try

41
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: to be physical out there. Now you're covering from a

42
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: back injury, back surgery. Where are you in that process

43
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: and how quickly will will you be a ready to go?

44
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: I'm close, I'm close. I'm getting there. I'm really close.

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: So I'm just thankful that I'm here with you guys,

46
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: and um, they able to work with you guys. Is

47
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: gonna speed up my recovery even more. And h no,

48
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: I'm chomping at the bits just watching you know, my

49
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: teammates going out there and work. That's all I want

50
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: to do. So I'm doing everything I can to get

51
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: out there on that field. Let's talk about some of

52
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: your teammates. Right tackle you mentioned in natural position. If

53
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: you do happen to become the starter there, you'll be

54
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 1: playing right next to Kevin Zeisler, who has been this

55
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: league a long time and a lot of great things.

56
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: How do you think you're gonna be able to blend

57
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: and mix with him? He's great. I mean I met

58
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: him for the first time today and I think we

59
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,399
Speaker 1: hit it off right away. And uh, I think that

60
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,440
