1
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: A little early. It's okay, so we're about to go

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: see Christian out on the field. There was a trip

3
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:09,400
Speaker 1: you made with the Crafts, going out there, being introduced

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: to What do you remember from that experience for yourself?

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: I remember just going from broke to being paid and now, honestly,

6
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,400
Speaker 1: it was a great experience. It was it was good

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: just to come up here and meet the owners, meet

8
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick and the rest of the guys. So it

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: was just it was something that's definitely gonna be in

10
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: my mind forever. What's your experience working out Christian Zalez,

11
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: what you saw from him before, and what you think

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: now that the pick has been made. Yeah, you know

13
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: what this guy is. He's tall, He's very fluid as

14
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: an athlete. He could do a bunch of different things

15
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: on the field, and you look at the rest of

16
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: our corners are pretty short, so it's good to have

17
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: some size. There was that an important thing going into

18
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: the draft to get a bigger size. Honestly. Honestly, we

19
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: just wanted to go and get a good player, a

20
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: player that will help our team going forward. So was

21
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: there anything that stood out to you about him when

22
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: you were watching him? Yeah, just you know, you usually

23
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: see long guys like that, they have a hard time

24
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: changing direction. This guy is pretty fluid, you know. So

25
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 1: that's that's the main thing. What's in store for him

26
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: over the next few days is he gets assimilated in here. Yeah,

27
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: you know, he's here, and then I think he goes

28
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: back home and you know, chills with the fan for

29
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: a little bit. Then this then this's go time. These

30
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 1: guys are used to it going from high school to college, right,

31
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: it really didn't matter not going college to the NFL.

32
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: H you gotta work your way up and earn your spot.

33
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: What about his versatility stands out? This is a guy

34
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: that can play outside on the perimeter. He also can

35
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: play inside. So, like I said, he's a great athlete. Uh,

36
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: he could do a bunch of different things. And his

37
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: ability to play press, yeah, he's a he's you know,

38
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: he's a good press coverage player. He does. He does

39
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: that very well. He also can play off though, So

40
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: draw were you surprised that he was there at seventeen

41
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: when he gets one of them? I was surprised, and

42
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: I'm glad coach made the pig. What are these three

43
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 1: days like for you? Craft days? There are long days

44
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: and you know we're here till midnight. I slept on

45
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: my couch last night, right, and probably do the same

46
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: thing today. But it's worth it. You know, you're trying

47
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: to get your team put together, trying to build a

48
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: team for the future. Do you have to put your

49
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: kind of like your scouting hat on for these I

50
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: love that. I love my scouting hat. Uh. I just

51
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: love watching football in general. I love uh watching players,

52
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: So it's good. It's good for me like that. You

53
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 1: talk about short corners and neither a big one. If

54
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: if he lives up to what you hope he becomes,

55
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: how does that expand things for what you can do stramatically? Look,

56
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: we talk about this all the time. We're a game

57
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: plan defense, right and you know we have to see

58
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: what he what he can do on our field, not

59
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 1: only what he did at Oregon. So, uh, that's a

60
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: question for later. What do you see from Christian on

61
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: film as far as tackling, being a willing tackler, physicality, Yeah,

62
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: you know he can. He'll come up and tackle, you know.

63
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: At the same time, it's that this is a different level,

64
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: so it's definitely something to work on. How much did

65
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: Adrians uh help, have you coach on the set? You

66
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: know Adrian, Look, he recruited a lot of guys as well,

67
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: so you know he he was at Oregon, recruited a

68
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,799
Speaker 1: lot of guys. He's been a valuable resource for US. UH.

69
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: As far as the draft process, you know, a couple

70
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: of days of this, you have a wish list made

71
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: out for I have one. I don't wanna show you up.

72
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: You're happy they went defense in the cross. Absolutely, let's

73
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: just go straight defense this whole draft. I'll take it. Yeah,

74
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: that was easy. Thank you, perfect, thank you, thank you.

75
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: That would just stole the money.
