Speaker 4: Thank you, Stephanie and Joe. Congratulations, Thank you, I appreciate it.

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 5: My first question is is in your talks with the Patriots,

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 5: did they tell you like we're locking you in at

9
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 5: quarterback or did they have any conversation about possibly doing

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 5: other stuff as well.

11
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,239
Speaker 4: In addition now just quarterback a great and what is.

12
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 5: Your reaction, Joe to being selected by the Patriots.

13
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 4: That's amazing. I'm blessed by the buss.

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: You know, my family's very proud of me at the moments,

15
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: especially about me just overcoming a versus twice.

16
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 4: So it's a blessing for sure.

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: Next question, so if you Willa, hi, Joe, welcome to

18
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: New England.

19
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 4: How are you going? Thank you?

20
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 6: I was just wondering, you know, you talked up a

21
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 6: little bit about your conversations with the Patriots after seeing

22
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:04,959
Speaker 6: them take Drake May in that first round. Did you

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 6: think this was at all a possibility that you could

24
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 6: end up in New England or was this kind of

25
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 6: even a surprise for you when this call came.

26
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: It was kind of both both for the same spectrum,

27
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: but at the same time, it.

28
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 4: Was kind of like I just had all the hats

29
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: laid out.

30
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: Uh, you just never know where you would end up,

31
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: so I was just waiting on any phone call.

32
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 2: Next question Chris Mason, Hey.

33
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 4: Joe, congrats on being drafted.

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 7: Do you have any relationship with Drake just through the

35
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 7: pre draft process or anything like that.

36
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: We came in contact multiple times even before the season

38
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: at the payment and camp, So me and him are close.

39
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: Not close as are we going to like not close

40
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: are we going to be? But we're close right now

41
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: to the point that we can have a conversation for sure.

42
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 4: Thank you.

43
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,600

Speaker 4: Joe, congratulations and wellcome to New England. Uh.

45
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 8: What is your thought on being drafted by a team

46
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 8: that already took a quarterback in the first round?

47
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 4: Thank you for your first part of it. Thank you. Uh,

48
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 4: but you know, just the opportunity.

49
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: I feel like everywhere you go, no matter what quarterback

50
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 1: I selected in this draft, no matter where you go,

51
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to compete. Nothing's just given to you

52
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: no matter who you are. So no matter where you go,

53
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: you just gonna have to compete. So that's what I'm

54
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: looking forward to do.

55
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:29,000

Speaker 4: Hey, Joe, congratulations.

58
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 5: I wonder if you can just tell us maybe a

59
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 5: little more about what your pre draft contact was like

60
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 5: with the Patriots.

61
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 1: I talked to them a couple of times at the

62
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl. I also had their offense at the Senior Bowl,

63
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: and then I had to get a zoom call with them, Uh,

64
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 1: not too long ago, probably like two or three weeks

65
00:02:56,320 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: ago before I left Tennessee to come home, and ever

66
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 1: since then, other than that, it's been nothing.

67
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 8: Question Chris Price, Hey, Joe, thanks for doing this and

68
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 8: welcome to New England. My first question is really about

69
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 8: your arm strength. Have you always had an ability when

70
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 8: it comes to the deep ball and when did that

71
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 8: maybe develop over the course of your playing career.

72
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: Thank you, but kind of sort of. I know growing

73
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: up my mom wasn't that strong. My mom used to

74
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 1: say it was because I used to throw the ball

75
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: over over top of the buildings and try to go

76
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: run and.

77
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: Catch it on the other side.

78
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: But other than that, I'll say, like growing up, it

79
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: was probably like fifty to sixty but you know, as

80
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: I got older and more stronger and kept working at

81
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: my craft, it got way better.

82
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: For sure.

83
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 8: We've seen some of the video, including the video of

84
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 8: you throwing the orange. I think Tennessee put that on

85
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 8: social media a little while back. What is the most

86
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 8: amazing thing that you've done when it comes to throwing

87
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 8: a football, at least in terms of distance?

88
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 4: Was it that the orange? Was pretty fun?

89
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: But I think I can throw an orange further than that.

90
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: That was right after practice and that was a game week,

91
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: so it was pretty tough to just you know, throw

92
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: it first as I want to, just because my ORNs

93
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: already tired from practice. But I feel like if I

94
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: was giving an orange a game, I throw a further.

95
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 4: On that for sure.

96
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: Thank you, Shane Chigan Stefo.

97
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 7: Hey, Joe, congratulations. I was just wondering who you knew

98
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 7: in New England. You obviously played with Mike on Wino

99
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 7: at Michigan. Just anybody else that you know so far?

100
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 7: Coming in Joshua, who else is geared?

101
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: To be honest, I wasn't expecting this car, so I

102
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: got to go look at the roster game. But so

103
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: far as only Joshua and Mike Mike. Thanks so far, Yeah,

104
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: so far.

105
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: Yeah.

106
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: Next question, Mark daniels.

107
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 4: I joke, congratulations.

108
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 5: There's been some speculation that you could one day transition

109
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 5: to the tight end position.

110
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,359
Speaker 2: I'm just curious your thoughts on that.

111
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 4: Team's ever talked to you about that? Was that out

112
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 4: of the blue, Like, would you ever have any interest

113
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 4: in that?

114
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: You're the first person I actually heard that from to

115
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 1: be real with you, but that'll never happen.

116
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: Thank you.

117
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: Next question Gothic.

118
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,679
Speaker 4: Did you know Garth Drama from Knoxville.

119
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 8: You're at w B I R t V.

120
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 4: Coachbo is a Tennessee guy, and you're teaming up with him.

121
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 4: I just wanted to get your thoughts on that.

122
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 1: It's great to always have two of vfls in the building,

123
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 1: especially when you're somewhere somewhere else other than Knoxville.

124
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 4: So just for us to reconnect and get annoy each other,

125
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 4: it's going to be great.

126
00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 2: Next question John Sarah and I.

127
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 9: Hey Joe, congratulations man, Welcome to New England. And obviously

128
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 9: how special a moment is this for you. You've been through

129
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 9: some adversity. You started Michigan, you bided your time in Tennessee,

130
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 9: you got your chance to start last year. How cool

131
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 9: is this for you to get drafted after everything you've

132
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 9: been through.

133
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:19,559
Speaker 4: It's a wonderful moment.

134
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty much speeciless at this point, or is it

135
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: kind of tribling troubling over themselves? So uh, I'm kind

136
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 1: of speechless at this point. But you know, I'm blessed

137
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: by the best happy about this moment. And you know

138
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: the only person I can think for this moment is God,

139
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 1: an autohol work I put in it, and the people

140
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 1: that I have that went that was with.

142
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 9: Congradulations again, Joe, Thanks man, no problem thinking.

143
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: Final question here from Taylor Kyles.

144
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 4: Congratulations Joe, Welcome to New England.

145
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 7: I was wondering if through any players that you model

146
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 7: your game after as a quarterback.

147
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say model my game after, but I watch

148
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: a lot of quarterbacks to you know, add things to

149
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: my game.

150
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 4: Who would those be? And what do you try to

151
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: take from them? Rock Party? Uh?

152
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: Rock Perty is good with his feet, so every step

153
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: he takes he's going somewhere, and you know, I try

154
00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: to implement that into my game, just because you don't

155
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 1: want to make false false movements, so That's something that

156
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: I worked over in the pre drift process with Jordan Palmer,

157
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: and you know, I've just been you know, at it

158
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: every day, you know, just trying to make to make

159
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: sure I maintain that that process or eliminate steps and

160
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, make sure every step I take, I'm going

161
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 1: somewhere and I'm balancing GRAU.

162
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:38,000
