WEBVTT - S3 Episode 10: Taking The Leap 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.000 Drafted is a production of tree Fort Media, Clutch Sports Group, 0:00:03.040 --> 0:00:08.280 and I Heart Radio. I always wanted to hit someone 0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:11.000 else rather than someone smacked me or something like that. 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:21.360 beIN tackled is definitely not fun. Welcome back to Drafted. 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:24.960 I'm Steven Johnson and this is the tenth and final 0:00:24.960 --> 0:00:30.720 episode of season three. The two thousand twenty one NFL 0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:34.879 Draft has officially begun, and linebacker Hammoca Rashi Jr. Is 0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:37.920 watching the first round at home in Chandler, Arizona with 0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.879 his family. I'm like, raston, I'm like, I feel like 0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.640 I'm gonna running. I'm running. I got I'm gonna write 0:00:43.680 --> 0:00:45.440 like what happen was supposed to be to run and 0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:49.120 I'm not. That's what I feel like. It's my first 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:54.360 time since Still, So I haven't been since Still. Hammocka's mom, 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.640 Misha McLamore, has been busy preparing for the draft party, 0:00:57.880 --> 0:01:00.240 so busy in fact, that this is the first when 0:01:00.280 --> 0:01:02.920 she sat down and thought about what this all means. 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.240 This is when all those sacrifices the family made come 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:11.679 rushing back, from checking in with Hammoca's tutors and coaches 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.520 throughout high school to driving twenty two hours straight to 0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:18.120 get him back to Oregon in time for practice, to 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:28.080 keeping his spirits up during all those difficult days in college. 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:30.800 I can't even explabe y'all, which I said, it's like 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.560 having a baby. For the ones who have babies, knowing 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.880 that feels like referenced to it, referenced to it when 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.640 you have that. I feel like that right now because 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:46.120 out about experience. I can't explain it went down, but 0:01:46.240 --> 0:01:50.240 it's grace. Watching the thirty two first round picks can 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.400 be stressful for any prospect in their family, but it's 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.720 especially tough for a guy like Hamaca, who genuinely could 0:01:56.760 --> 0:02:01.559 be selected at any point anywhere in the draft. He's 0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:03.880 as big a wild card as anyone due to the 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.560 up and down nature of his college career. So when 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.880 the first round ends without him a getting a call, 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:13.040 he goes upstairs disappointed. Here's one of his younger brothers 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:15.919 talking about the end of the first day of the draft. 0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:21.320 The first day, I'm lookay didn't get jackted. He took 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.120 off his his little andset or might d and he 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:26.400 went upstairs. So I was like, I wanted to say 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.440 something about was like, I don't want to say anything 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:34.720 because it's kind of crazy. His little brother was probably 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:37.720 right to avoid him at that moment. Kimaa explains how 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:44.080 he was feeling first day. You know, I'm just waiting, 0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:46.480 just thinking, like waiting to see if my coma is 0:02:46.480 --> 0:02:48.600 gonna be called. Now, I watched um a lot of 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.239 people and I'm pretty much my agents and stuff like that. 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.679 It's just telling me like we need as much as 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:56.480 my ships to go on first day, then you're then 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.959 you're coming. So I'm just thinking, uh, that's unless some 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.200 more people come off. But you know, they're telling me 0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.919 it's waiting to other people, um get off the board. 0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:07.880 I'm like, why can't they just call me? You know, 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:10.880 it's pretty easier just to call me round than wait 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:12.880 for other people to get picked off the board. I'm 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:16.440 just thinking, like talk to the Ravens all day every day, 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.440 the draft day in the corner everyone, and I'm just 0:03:20.600 --> 0:03:24.080 like hopefully, like just call me, just call me. At 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.440 that point, I'm just pissed and that I end up. 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.600 I just took my mic off and I went upstairs 0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.519 and I was hot. I was just mad. Camico will 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.760 have the whole night to stew until rounds two and 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.960 three begin in the morning, and that's exactly what happens. 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.880 He and his family continue trying to make sense of 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.640 why he hasn't been taken yet as they make breakfast 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.880 and wait for day two of the draft to begin. 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.760 I was hot. I was watching it. They called somebody 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.240 else names. I'm over there like, okay, there's got to 0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:57.160 be another position. I see the same position, then IM, 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:02.320 that's good, all right, Now I'm gonna do this. I'm like, look, 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:10.360 I'm like, oh hell no, buy and I'm your stressed 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:15.160 out and I already know took that mic off. I 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.840 was like, every person were talking to you, like your 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.840 first round. Guy? Did you sit here and get a 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.160 guy that has nothing nothing close to what I'd be. Yeah. 0:04:25.600 --> 0:04:27.160 But at the end of the day, you're gonna go 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:29.680 where you're supposed to go. God play for you, has 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.800 a purpose for you. He's not going to deliver your 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:34.360 mail at somebody else's house, so where your mail supposed 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:36.080 to come to, it will make it to your add 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:43.880 just Camica is mom. Misha gives him yet another pep talk, 0:04:44.480 --> 0:04:46.120 just like she did when he started at a new 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.920 high school his senior year and when he didn't get 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:51.560 to play during those first few seasons at Oregon State, 0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:54.200 and even when he got COVID during the past season. 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.919 Throughout it all, she always believed he'd get his chance. 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:20.440 The only question is when in the mountains of Big Bear, California, 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.640 cornerback cam By them watches the start of the second 0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.440 round with his friends and family at the rented lakehouse. 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:29.719 Right now will be a great time for somebody Frank 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:33.960 calling me. I can't even lie. Please don't, I actually don't. 0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:38.800 I'll be sick. Come on, call my phone, somebody, somebody 0:05:38.880 --> 0:05:43.520 called my phone. I will be dying all practice. You 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:53.040 tell me, tell me if you want me. Despite the 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:56.120 obvious mental strain of waiting for a chance at fulfilling 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.000 his hopes and dreams, Cam is actually joking around to 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.840 keep the mood light, and that's because he's always like this, 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:06.880 he explains, So like football. A lot of people see 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.600 it as like super serious and hard and all that, 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:11.839 But I go out in the field having fun. It's 0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.240 like it's everything I do. Actually, like a movie like 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.479 this is like super fun. I shouldn't be playing football 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.480 for a living, or I shouldn't be be able to 0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:20.640 I should be scared to jump out of a plane 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.400 and do three backroops out of a plane and Scott, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:26.160 I've jumping off cliffs in the waters. That stuff you're 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.320 seeing movies and crazy stuff that's like super fun that 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.520 a lot of people be scared to do. So that's 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.440 that's my whole. Everything I do, I try and make 0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:36.520 it fun. I should be scared of doing all that. 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:38.240 But the fact that I'm not, like, yeah, this is 0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.960 a movie, It's like, this doesn't happen. This isn't regular. 0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.280 So that's my that's my little catch phrase. Do it 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:49.799 for the movie. He lives as if all the reality 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:54.120 is a movie, one that happens to star Cam, buy them. 0:06:58.800 --> 0:07:02.240 I got fine. Corn is off the board. We're good, uh, 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.760 happy with it. Obviously, the more corners that go earlier, 0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:08.720 the more chances I go early. But overall, I'm not 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.960 tripping where I go. So I'm just happy and blessed 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:14.040 to be here. So it's gonna be a movie. Produces. 0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.240 As they continue watching the draft broadcast, Cam roots for 0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:21.280 the highest ranked cornerbacks and safeties to all get drafted. 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:23.960 That would move him up the board and increase his 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:27.880 likelihood of being picked earlier. Okay, come on, a couple 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:31.600 more picks. Come on, that's good. I'm rooting for them 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:35.240 to just leave. Come on, that's all the cloud people 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:39.679 off the board. I got four more give me the Niners. 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:49.640 Just people hitting me saying we're trying to get you today. 0:07:49.640 --> 0:07:53.320 We're trying to get you. Packers hit me. Charges hit 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.720 me again, Packers hit me, the charges hit me. I'm like, 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:06.600 what the trigger? What I'm trigger? Day two of the 0:08:06.680 --> 0:08:09.560 two thousand twenty one NFL Draft officially comes to a 0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:12.640 close as both Cam and Hannoto wait for their names 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:16.360 to be called. Only one more day remains, with the 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.200 rounds four through seven Jakie place. On the final afternoon, 0:08:20.240 --> 0:08:23.360 Cam says goodbye to his friends and family, inviting them 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.040 back for the last draft day. Thank you all for 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:34.640 com here. Love y'all, okay, you're nice and several day 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:38.839 three day three day three day three tomorrows for sure 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:43.679 the day ought to anticipation. Four fift six, sevens and 0:08:43.720 --> 0:08:48.920 four rounds. I thought it'd be today, honestly, but didn't 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:58.040 happen today, so said again, I thought the charges today 0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.960 because they hit me last night talking about we need 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:04.800 YEARL but didn't end up happening. It's where I'm supposed 0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:11.800 to be. They don't matter. I'm strapping regardless. So day 0:09:11.880 --> 0:09:22.160 two is done. Motivation, Cam spirits remained high. This is 0:09:22.240 --> 0:09:24.839 a movie, after all, and he's confident this one has 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:30.920 a happy ending. Meanwhile, in Arizona, Hammica isn't feeling quite 0:09:30.960 --> 0:09:34.079 as optimistic. He shares his feelings after sliding into the 0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:37.640 later rounds of the draft. Second they go by, I 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.160 don't get picked, I don't get a call. I'm mad. 0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:44.319 I'm just like just super disappointing. Man. I feel like, uh, 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:46.240 you know, I had a lot of people in my house. 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:49.679 I just feel like I was just disappointed embarrassed at 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:54.439 the same time, you know, like like these people, I'm 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:58.280 seeing people get drafted with like no names, and like 0:09:58.800 --> 0:10:01.360 it's just it's just irritating, Like how do I go 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.400 from our first first team on American and now all 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.760 these people are better at me? And that's what really 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.920 like maybe mad Clutch Sports agent to Marius Bilbo elaborates 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:14.920 on that inner struggle players like Hammica and Cam faith 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:27.079 when falling in the draft. So the hardest part is 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:31.280 really when that an ounce of disappointment sets in, you know, 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.880 just getting a guy over that home, and it has 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:35.360 to be quick. It has to be a quick turn. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.680 I was like, look, bro, we got we got next round, 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.319 we got tomorrow, we got the next day. You know, 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.640 and this this is a lifeloan, you know, a period 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.760 of work that's kind of crumbled into three days on 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.480 the weekend, and it doesn't always happen how they wanted 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:54.520 to happen. But look, you do have an opportunity, and 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.880 that opportunity is going to really shape how people look 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:00.920 at you down the road. That opportunit unity he talks about, 0:11:01.000 --> 0:11:04.080 comes from being picked late in the draft, signing as 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.720 a free agent, or proving yourself as a practice player. 0:11:07.360 --> 0:11:09.640 The draft doesn't always end the journey for players who 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.199 don't make it, how they respond and what they do 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.400 next matters almost as much as when or where they 0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:19.959 get drafted. Just ask sixth round pick Tom Brady or 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.160 all the other late rounders who went on to become 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:27.280 NFL legends like Deacon Jones, Bart Starr, and Raymond Barry. 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.240 This is why Demarius wants cam in Hammocka to know 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:33.120 that the only thing that matters right now is the 0:11:33.200 --> 0:11:38.600 beginning of day three. Alright, Mike is on Day three 0:11:38.640 --> 0:11:42.680 in the draft is about the movie being a movie's guaranteed. Today, 0:11:49.720 --> 0:12:08.239 We'll be right back. Cam by them sits in Big Bear, California, 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:11.559 surrounded by friends and family, waiting for someone to give 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:14.640 him the opportunity. His agent to maryus Bilbo talked about 0:12:15.120 --> 0:12:18.760 he's still feeling confident even as he watches another corner 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:26.280 get picked over him in round four. Yes, sir, another 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:36.280 one bites the desk. Anything, anything, It all depends on 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:42.080 where I go. Honestly, Cam was willing to play any 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.319 position on any team. He just wants to get out there. 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:53.400 Who is it? Oh another DV? Are we chilling? Were good? 0:12:56.320 --> 0:13:00.240 I don't know. Was he on any of the boards? Yeah?

Here are his parents, Curtis and Jennifer on 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:26.480 House are real that moment felt when he got the car. 0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:29.000 Even though I knew it was coming, I still thought 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.320 it was a joke. I thought I thought he was 0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.640 messing around with everyone. And then I'm like Okay, maybe 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.960 he's not. But originally when I saw him looking at 0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:40.320 his phone, like now he's joking, I'm not following for that. Yeah, 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:42.440 I'm glad you put it on speaker, Funes so we 0:15:42.520 --> 0:15:45.760 can all hear him. Take this is coach, and Cam 0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:50.680 was just so excited. The only thing left now is 0:15:50.720 --> 0:15:53.920 for the selection to be officially announced on the draft broadcast. 0:15:56.280 --> 0:16:17.320 It was on the King was dead. Let's do he 0:16:17.480 --> 0:16:28.760 sacrifice on that work. I love you y'all put in 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:31.240 hours for it is. It's now about to go to 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:33.400 be great. We're going wrong for me to work out 0:16:34.000 --> 0:16:43.440 My gosh, did it too times. Cam's hugging his parents 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:46.520 talking about the extra odd jobs they picked up to 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.680 help pay for his football camps and trainers, all those 0:16:49.760 --> 0:16:52.320 five in the morning workouts, they drove them to the 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:56.400 recruiting operation, they helped him manage, all the sacrifices they 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:58.720 made over the years to get them to this point. 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:03.720 Here are all three of them again describing those overwhelming emotions. 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:13.240 That's whatever I really felt real once they said it 0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:16.720 on TV. And when when I yeah, when they said that, 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.520 I was crazy hyped and I was pretty emotional to 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:24.879 I was crying it's probably me and I'm honestly, I 0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:27.600 didn't think I cried, but I did. But yeah, it 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:29.920 was both of the best. We were competing for who's 0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:35.120 gonna cry the most? Just seeing everybody they're just celebrating 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.800 his accomplishments and everything. Yeah, I was a crying baby, 0:17:39.040 --> 0:17:44.240 So I was. It was really emotional, really emotional. Back 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:50.200 in the cabin, Cam's phone rings once again. Hello, thank 0:17:50.240 --> 0:18:02.440 you guys. Get what do you mean? That's his longtime 0:18:02.520 --> 0:18:05.480 coach and trainer Anthony Brown on the phone. Coach Brown 0:18:05.600 --> 0:18:07.680 elaborates on what it meant for him to see the 0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:10.119 high school kid who couldn't even get on the field 0:18:10.160 --> 0:18:13.480 for the JV team developed into the professional who just 0:18:13.680 --> 0:18:21.639 got picked by the Minnesota Vikings. Saturday morning. Uh, I 0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:24.000 called him, tell him I'm coming up, and I look 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.800 at my calendar. I'm like, oh crap, I got a kid. 0:18:27.840 --> 0:18:31.520 I gotta train this morning at nine o'clock. So Calm 0:18:31.680 --> 0:18:35.119 is that big beer. So I'm training this kid. I'm like, 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:38.159 he's he's thirteen years So I finished. I finished up 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:40.359 the training with him. As I'm finishing up my training 0:18:40.400 --> 0:18:43.600 with him, I get a phone call from Calm. You 0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:46.080 know that he's been drafted, but it was other people 0:18:46.119 --> 0:18:48.920 that called. But when I got on the phone with him, 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:51.320 it was one of those things who I just broke down. 0:18:51.400 --> 0:18:53.399 He didn't hear me crying on my side of the phone, bro, 0:18:53.560 --> 0:18:58.679 but it was just it was just it was so unreal. 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:03.320 And I swear to you, for about twenty minutes, I'm 0:19:03.359 --> 0:19:06.320 sitting on the couch just crying my butt off. Man, 0:19:06.840 --> 0:19:10.040 I couldn't. I couldn't stop crying. You know, it was 0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:14.440 so emotional because you watched this kid that only people 0:19:14.520 --> 0:19:17.960 better than him was him, his family and me, you know, 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:22.800 and you see being drafted to the NFL and you like, 0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.920 you know, you you things are gonna happen. But him 0:19:27.000 --> 0:19:32.440 being drafted, putting the countless hours, uh, you know, overcoming 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:35.399 all the eyes of to where he's being drafted in 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:38.280 the fourth round to the National Football League and ended 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.639 up at the Minnesota Vikings is man is you know, 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.000 this is special and it's and it's something that you 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.560 you know, you can't take you can't take you away 0:19:48.600 --> 0:19:51.600 from him and his family because the kid did it. 0:19:52.800 --> 0:19:59.800 He did it the right way. It's a blessing. The 0:20:00.040 --> 0:20:03.000 this kid was able to in a long way to 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:05.960 the support that he picked up on the way. It is. 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.480 It's really it's remarkable that this really happens to Cam Biden, 0:20:11.560 --> 0:20:13.920 and I just and I just praise God that it 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:19.480 happened to him, because he deserved everything that's gonna happen. 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:21.760 Happy to damn, but it's family. He really deserves it. 0:20:26.960 --> 0:20:30.440 After Cam finishes doing interviews and media appearances, he records 0:20:30.560 --> 0:20:33.440 one final message before heading down to the lake where 0:20:33.480 --> 0:20:36.920 the celebration will really get going. All right, so this 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:39.760 is my last little voice message for a little bit. 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:42.640 I'm about to go jump in this lake. Uh, finally 0:20:42.720 --> 0:20:46.320 doing my interviews, had like five of them already, they're 0:20:46.359 --> 0:20:48.280 on my calls, So now I can finally go celebrate 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:50.440 with the family. Everybody's outside waiting for me. So I'm 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:51.959 about to go jump in the lake and everybody's doing 0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:54.880 it with me. So yep, thank you all. God is good. 0:20:55.480 --> 0:21:00.280 God is great. I'm a viking with that. Cam goes 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:04.359 outside and gets ready to jump. So after I got drafted, 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:06.600 I was like, Okay, we're off the lake. We're in 0:21:06.880 --> 0:21:09.040 We're in Big Bear in the cabin right off the lakes. 0:21:09.240 --> 0:21:11.399 That we gotta do something that we're gonna remember forever. 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:15.120 It's something that's gonna be super cool to capture on tape. 0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:17.760 We can't just sit there and just jump and be happy. 0:21:17.840 --> 0:21:19.760 And now just till around looking at each other this 0:21:19.840 --> 0:21:22.040 You're like, all right, I get draft. We're jump in 0:21:22.080 --> 0:21:23.719 the lake. All of us are jump in the lake. 0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:27.439 So they're like, uh, sure, I guess it's your day. 0:21:27.480 --> 0:21:31.399 So we're doing it. So all my family were planned it. 0:21:31.840 --> 0:21:34.480 After I got drafted. Had to go up there upstairs, 0:21:34.520 --> 0:21:37.000 good a couple of interviews real quick from Minnesota. As 0:21:37.040 --> 0:21:38.680 soon as I came down, had to speak to you 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.280 with my song playing, And we y'all ran down some 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:43.840 water and jumped off the dock and like all my teammates, 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:59.760 we all did backwards in the water. We'll be right 0:21:59.800 --> 0:22:06.680 back come The third day of the two thousand twenty 0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:12.280 one NFL Draft is still underway in Chandler, Arizona. Hammaka 0:22:12.359 --> 0:22:16.800 Rashi Jr. Watches Round four come to an end. There 0:22:16.840 --> 0:22:20.359 are only three rounds remaining, and he still hasn't gotten 0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:23.359 his phone call. But it's my Misha refuses to let 0:22:23.520 --> 0:22:30.480 him or anyone in the house feel down. God's not 0:22:30.560 --> 0:22:32.959 gonna giveson you. Somebody else at the door or blessing. 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:37.440 He got your own blessing when it's your turn. Don't 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:40.679 matter what else somebody else got or whoever Scott drafted. 0:22:40.840 --> 0:22:44.120 Your Your blessing is your blessing. Like our race said, 0:22:44.520 --> 0:22:48.480 we have the one for cent town, only one experience 0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:51.240 what we are today. So the fact that we're here 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:53.520 and all the people that was on your team and 0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:57.560 the God has opened that door one. You've been at 0:22:57.560 --> 0:23:00.040 to too much hype brasity. You can't never reacholla of 0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:01.840 what somebody else happcause you don't know what they have 0:23:01.920 --> 0:23:04.120 to go through, just like whoever hate like you don't 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.760 know your story. Yeah, they don't know your story. They 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:10.240 don't know the adversity that all they're gonna see is 0:23:10.280 --> 0:23:12.360 where you are. They don't know what you went through. 0:23:12.359 --> 0:23:17.160 The we're here, Curry, we're here. That's right, we're here. 0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:26.359 Gloria has around five ends and six begins. Even Misha 0:23:26.480 --> 0:23:29.359 begins to struggle with her emotions. Here she is again 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:33.320 describing her mental state as the final two rounds continue 0:23:33.440 --> 0:23:37.920 flying by. It was to me like a death. It 0:23:38.040 --> 0:23:40.760 was like a death. Brabies and now the baby at 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.040 the same time, like what in the world just happened. 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:46.400 I would not even buyed all these people over our head. 0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:49.800 All these people come thinking this is the bottom line, 0:23:49.880 --> 0:23:52.840 and to pull him out the tree. The first day like, okay, 0:23:52.920 --> 0:23:55.399 come back then, we're gonna get through this. So the 0:23:55.480 --> 0:23:57.600 first day it was red forms and I'm like, hey, 0:23:57.600 --> 0:23:59.560 you gotta come back down here. This is just the 0:23:59.640 --> 0:24:03.520 first day. So he came back down. The second day, Okay, 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:06.639 we get through. The second day. The third day he 0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:08.800 was just you know, we all were here for support 0:24:08.880 --> 0:24:11.879 for him, don't get through this. And then he was 0:24:11.920 --> 0:24:13.960 still okay. I wasn't one of the Philip part like 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:18.080 I did, but he was still okay. I was a 0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:20.800 wreck by then. I was just like it was a 0:24:21.040 --> 0:24:24.879 very emotional. Hammaica's father in law, Chris, also ways in 0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:27.520 on the emotional burden. My husband want to say something. 0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:33.200 I was broke trying to people for three days and 0:24:33.320 --> 0:24:37.760 trying to make sure everybody pass up to the drink. 0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:47.920 My ap bill double. Basically it was very expensive. Meanwhile, 0:24:48.119 --> 0:24:51.080 Hammaka tries to process his free fall into what is 0:24:51.160 --> 0:24:58.640 now the seventh and final round of draft. I think 0:24:58.680 --> 0:25:02.040 I his flight just I'm just like, wow, that's why 0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:04.840 I'm just hoping for a call no matter what. But 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:07.239 I'm just trying to figure out what's going on why 0:25:07.280 --> 0:25:11.760 I'm not getting drafted, And honestly, that's probably like the 0:25:11.840 --> 0:25:17.159 biggest disappoint h I want to say I got. I 0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:19.959 feel like I just got egged on, Like people are 0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:22.760 just misleading me, thinking acting like they're gonna draft me, 0:25:23.359 --> 0:25:27.000 and I'm seeing what kickers and puntershs get drafted before me. 0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:29.680 I'm like, what is going on? And that's probably what 0:25:29.920 --> 0:25:32.280 makes me mad at the most, Like you don't act 0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:34.800 like you're undrafting, you don't draft me, end up drafting. 0:25:35.080 --> 0:25:37.960 I'm just saying a different guy in my position, and 0:25:38.040 --> 0:25:42.960 that's like wow, okay, and end up getting the call. 0:25:43.320 --> 0:25:46.040 Somebody called me and they were just like, yeah, I 0:25:46.160 --> 0:25:49.359 heard that they're getting a ride receiver, but we love 0:25:49.440 --> 0:25:52.320 to get you in free agency. He was like. I 0:25:52.400 --> 0:25:54.639 was just like wow. I was like that's tough. Like 0:25:54.800 --> 0:25:57.160 I'm thinking this is the call, but they're telling me like, yeah, 0:25:57.600 --> 0:25:59.080 we can get you for you just if you want 0:25:59.119 --> 0:26:07.359 to come here. Okay. The calls, Hamnaker receives our teams 0:26:07.440 --> 0:26:09.400 saying they'd like to sign him as a free agent. 0:26:09.640 --> 0:26:12.400 After the draft ends, no one ever calls to say 0:26:12.440 --> 0:26:15.359 they are drafting him. It's a heartbreaking weekend for a 0:26:15.480 --> 0:26:19.119 player who had first round aspirations only a year earlier. 0:26:19.840 --> 0:26:22.000 Honestly for a lot of teams like me. But there's 0:26:22.040 --> 0:26:25.440 nobody will pulling the trigger. And that's what I like, 0:26:25.600 --> 0:26:29.600 I really to understand still, but overall, I would say 0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:35.320 the disappointment. Rookies always say the biggest change from college 0:26:35.359 --> 0:26:37.639 to the NFL is the speed of the game, and 0:26:37.760 --> 0:26:40.240 that's true with the business of football as well. Before 0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:43.000 the draft even comes to an end, multiple teams text 0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:46.280 and call Hamaker, expressing their interests and signing him. After 0:26:46.400 --> 0:26:49.040 it's over, and as soon as the final picks announced, 0:26:49.440 --> 0:26:55.640 they start making offers. As soon as the last pig 0:26:55.760 --> 0:26:58.480 goes in. Now people are calling or they're calling before that. 0:26:58.600 --> 0:27:00.680 I think the Raiders called me for the or the 0:27:00.760 --> 0:27:03.000 SEC after the Jets. Um, I want to say, the 0:27:03.040 --> 0:27:05.240 Patriots or somebody. A lot of other people to text 0:27:05.320 --> 0:27:07.760
