6
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: heard this, but Lamar thinks that you've hit a gross spurt.

7
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: So in June he said, he swears you're like six one,

8
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: six two. Is there any truth to this? You're listening

9
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: at five nine?

10
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,760

00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: looking six two.

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 2: I mean, no, I know. As soon as I seen that,

13
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: I said, I texted him. I was like, bro, ain't

14
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 2: no way you're telling them people on.

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 3: Six to Now, that's hilarious.

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, was he was? He like when you met up

17
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: in Florida? Was he like getting out the tape measure check?

18
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 3: No.

19
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 2: We was both laughing about it, and we just went

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: on about it because I was messing with him, saying,

21
00:00:57,560 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: because you know, we're from Brown County and I was like, oh,

22
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: that's that day stuff like that's what they do day.

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: You say that.

24
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: Gary was kind of buying into it. You were like,

25
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: I swear he's getting taller. Who's getting referencing he grew

26
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: in the pros. Who wasn't you know?

27
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 3: Well I first started to say, I was like, I

28
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 3: think Kyle Hamilton grew you know this, Yeah, that's true.

29
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: And then I said that Giannis like once he got

30
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,680
Speaker 3: to the pros, he grew a couple of inches after.

31
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: He got Garrett was by.

32
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: I was like, maybe he actually so he got maybe

33
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 3: yeah exactly.

34
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: So how are the workouts with Lamar? Like we saw

35
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: all the videos and all that stuff you Lamar obj Like,

36
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: how was that it was?

37
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: It was good learning from the vets, like trying to

38
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,720
Speaker 2: get a connection with Lamar, learning stuff from Odell like

39
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 2: what and what not to do, learning divisions from him

40
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: and how to run routes and how to be patient

41
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: in certain routes. So working out with them added a

42
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: little bit more to my game, I would say doing

43
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:50,279
Speaker 2: his break.

44
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 3: Really, so you feel like just that time that you

45
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: spent a couple of days working like, you feel like

46
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 3: that time actually you feel like you add stuff to

47
00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 3: your game through those workouts.

48
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, cause I can see how a little mark like throw,

49
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: I get like get a feel for how he's like

50
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 2: throwing the ball, and we're like, what type of connection

51
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: we would have. And then oh, it's just more like

52
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: he talking to me about running routes, saying how to

53
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: break and how to break during this time and how

54
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: I should run this route. So and I'm just adding that.

55
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: Then I went out with my coaches today and I'm

56
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: just adding them in my game.

57
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

58
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 3: That is awesome. So when you are putting these workouts together,

59
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 3: what's the process? Okay, so who initiates, who starts to

60
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 3: text chain, who's the mastermind behind these workouts? Me? Really?

61
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah?

62
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: Really yeah?

63
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 3: As a rookie, Okay, so you you said let's work.

64
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, as soon as I got down there, I'd let

65
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 2: him know, like we're gonna be working here. Lamar text

66
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 2: me like, we're gonna go to this park. Then, like

67
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 2: the first day I got down there, I think I

68
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: ran with Lamar on the beach. Then he gave me

69
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: the address to the park. And then every day I

70
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: texted me like, Yo, we're going today and He'll be

71
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 2: like yeah, three VM, and then all right, bet then

72
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: I shoot the text, Oh we're throwing that three nice.

73
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: That's awesome kind of coordinating. I mean, it just seems

74
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: like you are a guy who there aren't days off,

75
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: Like you just love the work and embrace the grind

76
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: is kind of a Ravens term, Like is that just

77
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: kind of how you've always been wired?

78
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been. I've been like that since high school,

79
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: Like when I first got my first offer. It haven't

80
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: stopped ever since then. I've just been feeling like I

81
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: got something to prove, right, So I work every day, right.

82
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: I do want to ask one clarifying question about these workouts.

83
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 1: Is it mandatory that the wide receivers not wear a shirt?

84
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 1: Is that like you're not allowed you come out for

85
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: a workout, you cannot wear a shirt the video cameras out.

86
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: Is that mandatory?

87
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: I mean, by that time, I already did two Workoutslida,

88
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: it was like one hundred and three degrees. So I'm

89
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 2: out there. I'm on turf. It's blue turf too, so

90
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: it's extra hot.

91
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: Okay, I get it.

92
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, I'm coming out the shirt.

93
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: It's mandatory that I stay in my shirt and all time.

94
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: I get it. I get it.

95
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 3: And the last question I have about those workouts, like,

96
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: is there also the friendship piece? Like I feel like

97
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 3: there's the on field that you're talking about. Which is

98
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 3: really interesting. But it also seems like the chemistry in

99
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 3: terms of you and Lamar, you and Odell, it seems

100
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: like it's already strong, but it's even getting to a

101
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 3: greater extent just by being friends and working and spending

102
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 3: time together.

103
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, because we just hang out, Like while we're working out,

104
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: we still laugh, we talk about other stuff, not just football,

105
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 2: but like you can, you can see it's coming together.

106
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: I feel like our relationship connection and once everybody get involved,

107
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: it's gonna be even better for the team.

108
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 3: Does it mean something to you to learn from Odell?

109
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I was in what high school school when he

110
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 2: caught that pass, and I used to be like, it'd

111
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: be crazy if I like get a chance to play

112
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: with him. But in my thoughts, I was like, I

113
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: just got to go make that happen, like try to

114
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: get to the next level. And now I'm able to

115
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: play with him.

116
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: So what's he like? Like, what are your first impressions?

117
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 2: Funny? Funny? He wanted to joke all the time, but

118
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 2: it's like when it's times where he's serious, Like you'll

119
00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: know when he's serious when he hit the field and

120
00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: he ready to work.

121
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 1: Mar He was like, he's very much the same.

122
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 2: But he's not you.

123
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: You two must just be having a good old time.

124
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 2: Out there, like from the same area, so we already

125
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: know like a lot of the same things.

126
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: Right right right.

127
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 3: I've also heard with Odell that some people have said,

128
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 3: like when they realize how hard he works, like like

129
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,159
Speaker 3: all the reputation he's like such a famous athlete and

130
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 3: the catch and all this stuff, but like then once

131
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: you actually work out with him, you're like, oh my gosh,

132
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 3: this guy takes it to another level in the workouts.

133
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 3: Was that your experience?

134
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: So I didn't really work out, it was just it

135
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 2: was just on the field. Yeah, But on the field, yeah,

136
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: you can tell like he he activated, he having fun,

137
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: like he ready to go, and everything, every drill and

138
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: everything mattered to him.

139
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 1: So dropping this week or the Madden ratings, I don't know.

Speaker 2: Yes, it's all right, not too bad, right.

Speaker 2: a pack and it was like the ninety nine version

160
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: of me, and I was like, that's crazy, that's crazy.

Speaker 2: it for nobody. Always be yourself. So just go out

167
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 2: there and grind like I always did.

168
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: There are there any like specific goals that you have.

169
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: Are you one of those guys like you have a

170
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: white board and you put up goals and all that stuff, Like,

171
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 1: are there any training camp goals for you?

172
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 2: I haven't wrote them down yet I was planning on

173
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: doing that Sunday, but I plan on do it like

174
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 2: right before.

175
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: But so is it a literal whiteboard like taking.

176
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: It is a white board, it's kind of like probably

177
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: like this big as why and I just write them

178
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 2: all across.

179
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: All right? And have you kind of already started thinking

180
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: about your season goals? Like when did those go on

181
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: the white.

182
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: Now I got to get through training.

183
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 3: Did you do that before you last year at Boston College?

184
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: Oh?

185
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

186
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: And what were some of the goals that were on there?

187
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: Do you?

188
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: I think it was thirteen hundred yards, like thirteen touchdowns,

189
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 2: break all the receiving records breaking like direct receiving, the

190
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 2: yards and the touchdowns, break all those yeah, and then

191
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: go first round right right? All right?

192
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: So we got some checks on that.

193
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,280
Speaker 2: Boy, except one to thirty hundred. I take it. I

194
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: take that. Yeah.

195
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: So you I like it. You go lofty with your

196
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: goals there. I mean, there's a lot of buzz that's

197
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 3: building around you, for sure. There's you know, South Pallantoni,

198
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 3: a longtime NFL reporters, talking this week about how he's

199
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 3: excited about what you're going to bring to the offense

200
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 3: and there's just a lot of I think, buzz and

201
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: excitement around you, your ability, this offense and this team.

202
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: So when you hear those things and you see that stuff,

203
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: how do you take that?

204
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: You know, honestly, it really don't mean nothing. You got

205
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 2: to put it in the work and go short before

206
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 2: anybody can say any like anybody can say anything before

207
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: the season. It's just a opinion. You got to go

208
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: put the work in, the show it, and then that matter.

209
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: But that's how I look at it.

210
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: I'm curious so far in OTA's in mini camp, Like

211
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: what's been the most challenging part of being an NFL

212
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver?

213
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 2: Now? I say building the schedule because I got a

214
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: lot more free time. So like just making sure I'm

215
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 2: always where I'm supposed to be, on point and taking

216
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: care of my body. I'll say that's the hardest thing.

217
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: Interesting, So are the vets, Like I would imagine ABJ

218
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: is just giving you a lot of advice on treatment

219
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff.

220
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 2: So I asked him and Nelson because they like more

221
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: of the vet vets, right, So I tried to ask

222
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: them for a plan and what they do, and they

223
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 2: give me tips here and there.

224
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: Right, and what I can do, and you said you

225
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: like have a lot more times that just like school's

226
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: not part of the equation now, it's just like this

227
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: is my job, yeah, football, So were you Like what

228
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 1: am I supposed to be doing right now?

229
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 2: I still haven't wrapped my head around your life because

230
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,480
Speaker 2: I'm so used to being in school that I'm out

231
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I don't even know what to do.

232
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: So that's when you're just on the practice field again,

233
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 1: just like are texting your teammates like we going out there.

234
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: So I'm just running around, working out, doing this, like

235
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: doing a whole bunch of different stuff.

236
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: What is it? I mean, you just seem to love

237
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: the game so much and love everything about it, Like,

238
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: what is it about it that really is contagious for you?

239
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: I would say it like because my mom put us

240
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 2: in football. My mom ended up passing away, and my

241
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,960
Speaker 2: dad kept kept us in it. I see in my

242
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 2: brother's love for the game. And then they'll make us

243
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 2: go outside and go against each other and try to

244
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: see tackle each other who is the fastest. So I

245
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: think that like was a part of it, just like

246
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 2: it was like in my whole life. It's just always

247
00:09:59,280 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 2: been around me.

248
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 1: Right, it's just like we're going out back and we're

249
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: playing football and we go to the.

250
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: Field play football. Like everywhere we went we played football, right,

251
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: So it was always a part of me.

252
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was curious. You had, Like we saw some

253
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: analytics thing that said you're like in the ninety six

254
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: percentile in college FOOTBA last year, like for change of direction,

255
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: ninety six percentile. Right, And that's like the first thing

256
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: when we started watching practice that Garret and I would

257
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: say to each other, it's like, oh my god, he's

258
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: so explosive, Like you just can change directions so fast,

259
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: very shifting explosive. Is that from like running away from

260
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: your siblings in the backyard? Like where does that come from?

261
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: Honestly? Yeah, yeah, if I'm being like one hundred percent serious,

262
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: there's probably that. And then we'll play a little game

263
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 2: called murder ball. Did we play our lilague games. We

264
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 2: will go to a field and play murder ball with

265
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: my friends and we will try to like everybody try

266
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 2: to get one person with the ball, and then we

267
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 2: will try to juke each.

268
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: Other out right, It's like dodgeball basically, Okay, but.

269
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 2: You got to tackle the man with the ball, So

270
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: twenty people. So it's like twenty people chasing you around.

271
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 3: Ball, and so you feel like that's like just as

272
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 3: a kid, like that's kind of part of what made

273
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: you who you are a football player.

274
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, playing basketball too, you really like helped me

275
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 2: out a lot.

276
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, So tell us a little bit about

277
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: your basketball career. And we heard that when you came

278
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: on a visit here that they had you playing some

279
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: basketball before the draft.

280
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: Yeah. I was out here whooping them. I heard I

281
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: take them, we got to take it.

282
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 3: I heard a different story. I heard they beat you, as.

283
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 2: I told you. They you played fifteen games. I beat

284
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 2: them the first ten games. And after I started beating them,

285
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,839
Speaker 2: they was like, all right, you got to get your

286
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 2: own rebound. I got tired after fifteen games and they

287
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 2: beat me. Okay, Yeah, I was like, all right, y'all

288
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 2: got that was talking trash, just taking videos of me.

289
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, playing like the scouts are the scouts.

290
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 2: I was playing scouts.

291
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: That's funny. So it was all of them versus you

292
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: fast murder ball.

293
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,760
Speaker 2: I'm saying, they jumping me. I'm like, all right, y'all

294
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: got it.

295
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 3: And once they beat you in the fifteenth game. I'm

296
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 3: sure they were like, all right, that's it, we're down here.

297
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 2: As soon as they beat me, they left.

298
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 1: That's a better remove.

299
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you go out on top and when you like

300
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 3: and I think that that was part of the reason.

301
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: Correct me if I'm wrong that you felt like this

302
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 3: was home, like when you got drafted, Like this just

303
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: felt like right, it fell home, And like when you

304
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:13,720
Speaker 3: came in here after getting drafted, it felt like a homecoming.

305
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 3: I'm like this kind of this is like he's not

306
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 3: been here and he's like dapping everybody up walking into

307
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 3: the building. I guess it just felt like you were

308
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 3: coming back and seeing a bunch of old friends.

309
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like my first day here, I think I remember

310
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 2: everybody name during the whole day, dapping up everybody just

311
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 2: clowning around. Yeah, So it just felt like it just

312
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: felt like home. It was like the best It was

313
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 2: the best visit I had. Yeah, that's all the other visits.

314
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 2: I'm up tight, like looking around like am I allowed

315
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 2: to talk now? But here it was just everybody was

Speaker 2: so genuine.

317
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: That's aweso. So as you look forward to this season,

318
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 3: you're learning a new offense and you're getting to know

319
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: Todd Mounkin. I know you've said before that you really

320
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:50,959
Speaker 3: like his offense and the way that you could see

321
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 3: yourself fetting into it. What are your impressions of him

322
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 3: in this offense?

323
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: His offense allows everyone to be able to get the

324
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,280
Speaker 2: ball and just spread everybody out, moved around and get

325
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: everybody open. And I love him so much because like

326
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: he's not too like uptight about he like like let

327
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: you laugh, let you joke around, and like let you

328
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: do your thing.

329
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:16,079
Speaker 3: I Like it struck me, like first time I saw

330
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: him on the field, Like he's running up and down,

331
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 3: like he's active, and he's he's got some colorful language.

332
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: If you're not where you're supposed to be at the

333
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: right time, he lets you know, Like do you like

334
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 3: that from a coach when.

335
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: He's gotta have energy? Because I'm gonna bring more energy

336
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: if I see my coach with energy? Well, how old.

337
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 3: Coach is in his fifties?

338
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: Coach like fifty five fifty five. He's running full speed

339
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: across the field. See that, I gotta go right, Like

340
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 2: he's telling me, oh, you can't beat me across the field.

341
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 2: He can't beat me across the field. Man, there's just

342
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,439
Speaker 2: a little stuff like that that will keep me going

343
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 2: throughout the day. That's awesome.

344
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 1: Do you get the sense that he's gonna use you

345
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: like everywhere in this offense?

346
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, because I was playing all three positions x ZF,

347
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 2: So really everybody play all positions. They just rotate everybody

348
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: depending on what routes and right the combination is.

349
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: So does that put a lot more on your plate

350
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: from a mental preparation standpoint, It's like, nah.

351
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: That's what I want. Okay, that's exactly what I want.

352
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,080
Speaker 3: That's awesome just because you because it opens more opportunities

353
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 3: for you to get the ball and showcase what you

354
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:14,600
Speaker 3: can do.

355
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

356
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess the receiver, you know, that's that's the

357
00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: receiver mentality, Like put me wherever, get me the ball,

358
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: I'll make.

359
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 2: I'm touching the ball. I feel like I can make

360
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: a play from anywhere where it is.

361
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 3: And that was kind of like, I feel like that

362
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: was almost a misconception when you got drafted. That was like, Okay,

363
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: he's he could be a slot receiver. It's like, well, no,

364
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 3: you could. You played mostly.

365
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,479
Speaker 2: Outside seventy outside in college.

366
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 3: Right, so you feel comfortable outside or inside wherever it is.

367
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: Absolutely. As so long as the balls in your hand,

368
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: long as the batt in my hand, I'm good.

369
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: And do you like you know, like one of your highlights,

370
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 3: your main highlights from Boston College was like the reverse.

371
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: You know, I think you were supposed to pass the

372
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 3: ball right right?

373
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: I did that a couple of times, came back around.

374
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah that that's like that's where the murder ball stuff

375
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: came to play on that play.

376
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's what it's like.

377
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it felt just like that. But do you like

378
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,480
Speaker 3: being used to some creative ways like that where you

379
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: can I mean, like on that play you runner reverse,

380
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 3: you could throw, you can run like however it was.

381
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: I just want to touch the ball. Yeah you don't.

382
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 2: I don't care how screens, deep balls, intermediate routes, shallow crosses, like,

383
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: it don't matter. As long as I'm touching the ball.

384
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 2: I feel confident enough to help the team. Like, I

385
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: feel like I can help the team just touching the ball.

386
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: That's awesome. My favorite highlight of yours from college was

387
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: when you big boy that guy and you went on

388
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: the deep ball and.

389
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: Yeah he didn't tell tomorrow, I told him, but he

390
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 2: did us bad. When I was in there too, so

391
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 2: I can't say nothing. He scored seven times.

392
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 3: Yeah he got.

393
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, he got it.

394
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 1: So do you do you take you know, being a

395
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 1: shorter wide receiver, do you kind of play with that

396
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: chip on your shore. It's like, I'll still big boy you,

397
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, like it doesn't matter. I'm gonna I'm gonna

398
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: l now, I'm gonna play bigger than.

399
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: You absolutely, yeah, like because they gonna always try to

400
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 2: criticize you for something. So yeah, I tried to use

401
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: that to my advantage and prove everybody wrong.

402
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: How you know, Steve Smith obviously talked about how you

403
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: was one of your idols growing up, and he played

404
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: that way certainly. Yeah. You know, do you have distinct

405
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: memories of watching him and your dad? I think was even.

406
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: Always my dad always he said, oh, you gotta play

407
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: like Steve Smith, you got to be bigger than what

408
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 2: you really is. I'm like, all right, all right, I

409
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 2: just just tell him all right all the time, like

410
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: this is getting annoying. Now. Then I really started seeing

411
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: what he's saying. Like I wasn't a big body, so

412
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: I had to take everything into account, how to use

413
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: my body, how to lean on people, how to separate

414
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: from people. So I just used all that.

415
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 3: You know with Steve, Like the day after you got drafted,

416
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 3: when you were here, he he called you. Yeah, yeah,

417
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 3: and like I think he was excited about the opportunity

418
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: to talk with you and it was a surprise for you.

419
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: Did it mean something to you?

420
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: Like he played here, he's calling you, he's welcoming you

421
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 3: to the team, and like this is a guy that

422
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,239
Speaker 3: you grew up watching, Like what was the significance?

423
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 2: So that's you, Like, I can't even explain it because

424
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 2: my dad forced in my head so much that Steve Smith.

425
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: Steve says to me that he became my favorite player,

426
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: and I love how he played the game passionate and

427
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 2: hard every play. So that's how I try to play

428
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,439
Speaker 2: passionate and hard every play. And when I seen that,

429
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 2: when I was able to talk to him, it was unbelievable.

430
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 2: Like as soon as I was done, I called my dad.

431
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 2: I was like that, I just thought this cool, and

432
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 2: he was just laughing. So it's like Jemims come true.

433
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:31,399
Speaker 2: It's crazy.

434
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

435
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,399
Speaker 1: Follow up question is do you talk like Steve Smith?

436
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 3: No?

437
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,480
Speaker 2: No, okay, I'm more like like happy, I'm gonna laugh

438
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 2: at you, like if during the play, I'm gona just laugh.

439
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 2: I ain't gonna really talk. I'm gonna just let you

440
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,320
Speaker 2: have it. Talk me, laugh, walk off, come back, try

441
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 2: to score and you laugh in your face after I scored.

442
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 2: Just stuff like that. I don't talk too much.

443
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 1: Now I am curious, And this honestly is not in

444
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: like a trash talking way. But is there any like

445
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: dB that you just really respect their game and you're like, man,

446
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 1: I kind of can't wait to go up against that

447
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,560
Speaker 1: guy just to see where I'm at because I think

448
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 1: he's such a good player.

449
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: No, I feel like every DV like got their own game,

450
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 2: and yeah, just everybody at this level is gonna be good.

451
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 2: Is it gonna be They gonna be smart, fast, physical.

452
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 2: So I was just waiting. I was just waiting to

453
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 2: play everybody right right right, to see what it's really

454
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 2: like in the league, see if it's really a difference,

455
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 2: right right right. Yeah.

456
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 3: Did you when you got on the field for minicamp

457
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 3: and OTAs, did you feel like there was a difference

458
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 3: from college, Like, how did it feel for those college practices? Uh?

459
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 2: No, difference. I felt like it was a little bit

460
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 2: more like easier and more free to me.

461
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,239
Speaker 1: How so explained.

462
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 2: Because in college had to be ran a certain way

463
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 2: to like because we ran like revolutions, revolutions like one

464
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 2: like you take a step, then the outside step count

465
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: as one, then you take another one too, and then

466
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 2: match up perfect with the quarterback. So like at the

467
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: top of the route, you couldn't really do moves to

468
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 2: get open, so you just had to speed it in

469
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: or break it in or just take it deep. Now

470
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 2: I could just I can can move at the top

471
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: of the route and lamar still be on time. I

472
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 2: can make a move at the line, run, make another

473
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 2: move and get open. Interesting, So is it that's I

474
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: feel like that's what makes it easier for me because

475
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,960
Speaker 2: I'm able to get a defender off me.

476
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: Right, And you have so many attributes obviously to the

477
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: top end speed, like we talked to change the direction.

478
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: When you really are thinking about your game and how

479
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: you're you separate from other wide receivers, what makes you special?

480
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: What do you kind of point to the most?

481
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 2: I'll say I do everything. I can route, run, I

482
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 2: can release, I can run any route.

483
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I can't point on all the all the above. Yeah, Well,

484
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,480
Speaker 3: part of this I mean this. You can see it

485
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 3: in your answer, Like is confidence and which I think

486
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 3: that like confidence for receiver receiver and dB has got

487
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,280
Speaker 3: to have confidence because if you don't, they just be

488
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 3: out there right exactly. And I like that.

489
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: I have a little diva about you. That's a better

490
00:19:58,119 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: D word.

491
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 3: Yeah like that, and like, but you gotta have that

492
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: confidence because like you'll just it won't work.

493
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: Because if you don't have the confidence, now, you're gonna

494
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 2: go out there thinking too much, n be like all right,

495
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 2: am I doing this right? But you just go out

496
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: there and say, yo, I'm gonna do this. It don't

497
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 2: really matter how I'm gonna do it, but I'm gonna

498
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 2: get it done.

499
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: And where's that come from?

500
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:16,640
Speaker 2: For you?

501
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 1: I just murder ball.

502
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 2: I don't want nobody murder ball. Don't want nobody just

503
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 2: stop me too, Like, yeah, I want the ball. So

504
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go get open and try to make a play.

505
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 2: And I love making plays and scoring touchdown, so I'm

506
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 2: gonna try to get open every play.

507
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: Well, now you know there's some other good targets in

508
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: this offense.

509
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 2: Too, absolutely, So it's gonna make it easier. It's gonna

510
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,920
Speaker 2: make it easier for everybody right right?

511
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean is it kind of crazy? I mean there's

512
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: how many Mark five first round pick wide receivers on team,

513
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: plus Mark Andrews plus the running backs, and I mean

514
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 1: it's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. I mean, how does it

515
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 1: feel to be just surrounded by that many weapons?

516
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 2: Fun? Like I just want to laugh, Like it's gonna

517
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 2: be scary. It's gonna be scary this year. Yeah.

518
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 1: Cool.

519
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 3: The other I think attribute from a personality standpoint that

520
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 3: that stands out to you about you when the even

521
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 3: draft you was loyalty. So you're at Boston College and

522
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 3: you're kind of blowing up and having a lot of success,

523
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 3: and NIL comes into play when you're in college right

524
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 3: between your Okay, so your junior year, NIL comes into

525
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,400
Speaker 3: play and guys are cashing in. You get big money.

526
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 3: And so you had off like you had money that

527
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 3: could have come your way right from other schools. How

528
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 3: does that work? So school's call or sponsors call, it's

529
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 3: like a sponsors call and.

530
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 2: Then call it like I put somebody close to you,

531
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: like yeah, like at that time, they call my marketing agent. Yeah,

532
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 2: and got in touch with him and was talking to

533
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 2: him that he came to me and they told me

534
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 2: what he offered.

535
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 3: Right, so they're like, okay, sponsors can call and say,

536
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: if you transferred to this school, we have this this

537
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 3: money that's there for you basically, but you decided to

538
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 3: stay at Boston College and you wanted to finish what

539
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 3: you started there, Like why was that important to you?

540
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: Because I feel like with my degree, I was going

541
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 2: to be able to get it back. I wanted to

542
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 2: leave my name in like a history book and I

543
00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 2: was able to be like the best receiver coming out

544
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,879
Speaker 2: of BUSS and college history. And it was about the

545
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 2: loyalty they showed me, like they was the only school

546
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,000
Speaker 2: that offered me and let me keep my offer basically

547
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 2: coming out of college. So it was a lot of

548
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 2: teams that like really took their offers back except n

549
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 2: C State, But BC was the first one. The coach

550
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 2: came to see me every week, even when I got homesick.

551
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 2: When I was there, he'd take me out to eat

552
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 2: and just like do a little things. So they took

553
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,920
Speaker 2: care of me. Yeah, so I feel like I was

554
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: in in depth, but I wanted to pay him back

555
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: in some ways.

556
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 3: So other schools, when you were coming out enough of

557
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:35,960
Speaker 3: high school, they pulled your offers. Yeah, and like why

558
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: why is there that back and forth? And like you

559
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 3: just don't know, said, they said, we're going to offer

560
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 3: you this, and then all I.

561
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 2: Wanted was to go somewhere what they wanted me and

562
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 2: b c K gave me that chance.

563
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: Interesting and so then you end up going in the

564
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 3: first round and ended up here in Baltimore and it

565
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: made Yeah.

566
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 1: So our guy Cliff Brown wrote a really great future

567
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: story on you entitled for Zave Flowers. It's always about family.

568
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: Listeners and viewers, go back and make sure you read that.

569
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: And you know a lot of people may know this,

570
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 1: but not everybody that you're the eleventh out of fourteen children.

571
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: And so I just got back from a vacation where

572
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: there was six kids, all under eight and under and

573
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,920
Speaker 1: I was like, this is mad. But that was six

574
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: kids that ain't fourteen, right, What was it like growing

575
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: up in that house? Can you shed some light on that?

576
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 2: Like I told you, it was competitive, but it was fun.

577
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 2: You always got somebody to be around, Like you got

578
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 2: a best friend, laughing, like everybody in the family got

579
00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: their own best friend, I say something like that. And

580
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 2: you always in competition, like you you racing, you're trying

581
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 2: to see who the best, who got the best juke moves, right,

582
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,400
Speaker 2: and you always want to have the best juke moves,

583
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 2: so you're always working on Then when you get to

584
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 2: the game, se who was the best player at the park,

585
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: and it was like, oh, he was the best player.

586
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 2: He was the best. So it's always been like a

587
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: little competition between everybody, right.

588
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: Was there any fights that ever broke out that are

589
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: particularly memorable to you? This flights had to be knockout,

590
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: drag out.

591
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 2: No, not one in particularly, I can't even remember. There

592
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 2: was so many that it was just like not just

593
00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 2: that they all just washed away?

594
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: Was it just arguments about who the best player was

595
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: on the field that sometimes.

596
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 2: Sometimes if you run somebody over in the backyard, they're

597
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 2: getting mad and y'all to start fighting. So it was

598
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,919
Speaker 2: just like fighting over the game, right, fighting over like

599
00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: who get the last piece of whatever my dad cooks,

600
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: stuff like that.

601
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 3: So when you were a kid, did you or your

602
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 3: siblings feel like, Okay, say is going to be specialized

603
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 3: an athlete or was that part of the argument, Like

604
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 3: was the feeling like Okay, he's going to be a

605
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 3: first round pick, Like he's going to be no, Okay

606
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 3: that like when did that start to become a real thing?

607
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 2: And when it started to become a real thing, I

608
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 2: would say my sophomore year college.

609
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:53,399
Speaker 3: Really, so even when you're when you're growing up, like

610
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 3: sometimes people say like.

611
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: Like, Lamar, we always knew.

612
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 3: Well, people like Lamar, people you probably know this, like

613
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,679
Speaker 3: people talk about the legend of Jackson down in Broward County,

614
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 3: like when from the time he was a kid. But

615
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,120
Speaker 3: like it doesn't sound like that.

616
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 2: Was necessarily I'll say my dad knew. Okay, my dad

617
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: knew because I talked to one of my dad friends

618
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 2: and my dad friend was like, yeah, he always knew

619
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 2: what you was going to be the one because you're

620
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 2: the only one that like had like a real passion

621
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 2: for it, that really like cared a lot interesting.

622
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 3: And so then you said your sophomore year of college

623
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 3: has started.

624
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: It started to click for me too, right, That's what

625
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 1: I was going to say, Yeah, when did you sophomore

626
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 1: year in college? Is when you were like.

627
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 2: My freshman year, I scored a few touchdowns, Like I

628
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 2: scored the first game Anthony Brown threw it to me

629
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 2: first touchdown, and then after that I was like, damn,

630
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: it's kind of easy, Like I could do something. Maybe

631
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 2: I could do something. Then the next year, I think

632
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 2: I had like nine hundred and twelve yards, like thirteen touchdowns.

633
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 2: And then that's when it really started clicking for me. Yeah,

634
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 2: and I was like, all right, then I put more work,

635
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,120
Speaker 2: more work, more work, more work. Then I realized, like, yo,

636
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: I'm the best receiving of my class if you're not

637
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 2: looking at school names. Yeah.

638
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 3: And so basically, like the more it's interesting, the more

639
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 3: success you had, the harder you worked. Yeah, because a

640
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 3: lot of times I think it goes the other way.

641
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 3: You start to have success, and then that's easy to

642
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 3: kind of start coasting.

643
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 2: Oh no, I want it more. I want it, I

644
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 2: want it more.

645
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 3: So now you get drafted in the first round. So

646
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 3: how does that change your work ethic?

647
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's not done. I still got stuff to prove.

648
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 2: I went what I received three Yeah, I was receiving three.

649
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

650
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 2: I can't stop telling one.

651
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: I love that my set. Is that a chip on

652
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: your shoulder? I was like so curious about that in

653
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: the drafts.

654
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah it is. I ain't gonna let it. I ended

655
00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 2: up where I was like supposed to that's where I

656
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: wanted to be, right right, So, but.

657
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 3: You're always going to be You're always going to carry that.

658
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well, I mean it was the historic four wide

659
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: receivers in row. It never happened. So yeah, when that happened,

660
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: I was like, say, he's gonna remember this. But I

661
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: feel like you played it off at first. You're like,

662
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: nahna whatever.

663
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just blessed to be in a position that

664
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 2: be in this position, especially you had this team around me.

665
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,920
Speaker 1: Well, so it worked out really well. You were the

666
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: dude that we We'll be honest here, you were the

667
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 1: guy when we were talking about the wide receive.

668
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,000
Speaker 2: The phone and the draft. When I asked the phone

669
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,320
Speaker 2: at the draft, I hate everybody in the background screaming,

670
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 2: all right, this.

671
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: Wild but yeah, yeah that's cool.

672
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 3: Well I took him. I took say my mock, so

673
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 3: it's true. Yeah, so I saw it. I saw it.

674
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,399
Speaker 3: I heard about the basketball game.

675
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,119
Speaker 1: About that act until you got drafted.

676
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 3: Let's just go with that.

677
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm curious about this. You know you grew up playing basketball.

678
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: Did you play running back when in your youth?

679
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 2: Running?

680
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: Okay, So you know there's this big debate going on

681
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: right now, about running backs and the contracts and how

682
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:35,880
Speaker 1: much they're worth in the NFL, Like, and there's talk

683
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: about our youth running back is going to be like,

684
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: you know what, if I think I have a chance

685
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:42,200
Speaker 1: to get to the NFL, now I'm going to play

686
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: a different position.

687
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:48,119
Speaker 2: Honestly, if if I was a receiver, say mean running

688
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 2: back in high school, yeah, or in college, I'll be

689
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 2: kind of scared too, I'm honest.

690
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: Would you, Yeah, you think you'd be like, maybe I'll

691
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 1: give you for this your whole life.

692
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then you get to that point and you

693
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,239
Speaker 2: your value to a team is like tremendous, right, and

694
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 2: then when it's time to come to get paid, you're

695
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 2: gonna get paid. Right.

696
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: It's got to be a hard decision, though, because I'm

697
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: sure a lot of guys are wired like you. Or

698
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: it's like I just want the ball, and when you're

699
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,720
Speaker 1: running back, you get the ball. You get the ball

700
00:28:16,520 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: a lot You're like, man, I want the ball, but

701
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: I always ways exactly way. It's a tough one, yeah,

702
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 1: I mean, but I obviously the decision to go to

703
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 1: wide receiver and focus on that worked out for you.

704
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: When'd you when did you switch to the wide receiver.

705
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 2: I switched late, probably like my tenth grade year in

706
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 2: high school.

707
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 3: Okay, and was it I'm guessing it really is my

708
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 3: eleven grade year. And why made what made you want

709
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 3: to switch?

710
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 2: I was small? Okay, Yeah, yeah, I was like one

711
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:46,479
Speaker 2: hundred and forty pounds.

712
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're gonna take a beat.

713
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to be in that box like that.

714
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: Are you kind of like watching this and seeing what's

739
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 3: just excited to see like what his role in the

740
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 3: offense ends up being right away.

741
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm gonna be pretty sizable.

742
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like how how do the Ravens use him? I

743
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 3: think that, like there's a lot of buzz and excitement

744
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: about this receiving corps for good reason, but I think

745
00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:16,719
Speaker 3: that like how all the pieces fit together still remains

746
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:18,520
Speaker 3: to be seen as.

747
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: Kind of like he's saying, it's kind of interchangeable, Like

748
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be using a lot of that underneath,

749
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:25,720
Speaker 1: like whip route, like quick change of like drags all

750
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: that stuff to get the ball in his hands early

751
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: and let him make people miss and run past them. Yeah,

752
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 1: you know, because he's so good with the ball in

753
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,239
Speaker 1: his hands. But like he's also going to get over

754
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: top of some people. They're gonna they're gonna let him,

755
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: I think, go down that seam and try to burn

756
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,040
Speaker 1: some people too. Like, so you know, Odell I think

757
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: is kind of that. I am visioned as that like

758
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: trusted third down, Like you know, you can rely on

759
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 1: him to make a big play red zone. Like he's

760
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: just a crafty vet and like used in that way

761
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,160
Speaker 1: primarily Bateman, you can use in a variety of different ways.

762
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: Boundary guy, I mean, can also run past people. I

763
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,959
Speaker 1: just think like they're pretty interchangeable, all three of those

764
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: wide receivers in the aguilar being the big play guy,

765
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: you know, as the number four kind of yeah.

766
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 3: And Duvernet has the ability to go deep with his speed.

767
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 3: I mean Dovernat might be the fastest guy.

768
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: On the team one in the end round stuff. I mean,

769
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 1: he's another guy you like to get the ball in

770
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: his hands.

771
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 3: I know. I mean you made the point that there's

772
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of weapons and figuring all

773
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 3: that out is a good problem to have that I'm

774
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,520
Speaker 3: sure Toddmunkin is kind of sorting through right now. I

775
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 3: also thought his you know, when I brought up, like

776
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,160
Speaker 3: you know, the reputation was like, oh, a slot guy.

777
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 3: And he's like, now, seventy five percent of the routes

778
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 3: he knew that set right off the top of him side.

779
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:37,000
Speaker 3: He's heard that at a time or two and and

780
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 3: I think that that kind of gives you an indication

781
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 3: of where he thinks his role could be. Like it's

782
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 3: just going to be that jack of it, like you said, interchangeable,

783
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,720
Speaker 3: and I think that I just there's a lot, like

784
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 3: I said, a lot of buzz and excitement about the

785
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 3: receiving corps, and I think it's going to be really good.

786
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: I just am like curious to see how it all

787
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 3: comes together as Bateman gets fully healthy and back integrated

788
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,160
Speaker 3: into the offense as Odell. We've we see Odell for

789
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 3: two days of practice right, limited reps, like when he's

790
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 3: on the field full go, when they kind of missed

791
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 3: some time during the off season. Once all these guys

792
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 3: are on the field full go, what does it look like.

793
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see and I can't wait.

794
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just really love Day's energy.

795
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 2: You know.

796
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got great, great energy.

797
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, this like great balance of confidence yet hunger, you know,

798
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: like you can just he uses that he didn't like.

799
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 3: He didn't like what we called him a diva. You

800
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 3: called him a diva.

801
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:32,560
Speaker 1: I call him a diva. I said, I like a

802
00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 1: little diva, but I don't like the div in a

803
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 1: bad way of like playing when you don't get the ball,

804
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: but like you gotta want that ball, you gotta want it,

805
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,480
Speaker 1: you gotta want it. And uh, but that was that

806
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: was funny. Well he proved you you row in the chemistry,

807
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 1: gret big point. Yeah you, mister, chemistry doesn't matter. Really interesting,

808
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 1: I thought.

809
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,640
Speaker 3: At his point was interesting on that in talking about

810
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 3: just the number. I mean, this is like football x's

811
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,040
Speaker 3: and o's. We're in the weeds here when it's talking

812
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 3: about the way that they counted steps of Boston College

813
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 3: and the way they count steps in a route in

814
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 3: the NFL. How there's some subtle differences there and that

815
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 3: gives them a little bit more freedom. I thought that

816
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: was an interesting point. And I don't know if that's

817
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 3: just a difference in offenses from Boston College to the Ravens. Specifically,

818
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 3: how other teams in the NFL do it? I don't

819
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 3: honestly know the answer to that, but he clearly likes it.

820
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 1: He's gonna have some more moves. He's gonna be putting

821
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: some more moves on people at the top routes.

822
00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: Well, if a guy like that who's got agility that's

823
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 3: such to the charts, I think that's a good thing.

824
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, his ability to separate is is really

825
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 1: top notch, and that's what the NFL's about. Can you separate?

826
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: If you can separate and get open, and then if

827
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,560
Speaker 1: you can do what he can with the ball in

828
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: his hands, you're gonna have a lot of success in

829
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:40,920
Speaker 1: this league.

830
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

831
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,800
Speaker 1: So how high? How high does Zey get drafted? I mean,

832
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:47,280
Speaker 1: where do you draft day in fantasy? I don't know,

833
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 1: Because he's got you got all these other targets, Like

834
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: it's hard to project, like what Zay's numbers will look

835
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,960
Speaker 1: like exactly because there are Mark Andrews and OBJ and

836
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: Maintenman and all these guys. I've said it before, I

837
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 1: think it's really difficult to predict who ends up leading

838
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,320
Speaker 1: the team in all these different categories from a receiving standpoint,

839
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 1: I just think it's really hard to tell because of

840
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: all the things that I just mentioned.

841
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I don't know. I think it's I think

842
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 3: it's it's it's a great unknown. I think we'll have

843
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 3: I think it'll come into focus over the course of

844
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 3: training camp a little bit, but not even entirely, because

845
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: I like Bateman's going to be working back Odell. I'm

846
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 3: sure they're going to kind of ease him along. He's

847
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 3: not going to be taking a ton of reps early

848
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 3: in camp. So I think that like it's gonna be

849
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 3: one of those things you go into the season and

850
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 3: there's some mystery around how that all works together.

851
00:34:30,760 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: Well, I'll be interested to see what goes on the

852
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: Zay Flowers whiteboard. Yes, what goes on there?

853
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 3: Yeah?

854
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 1: Does he put a thousand on there? That would be

855
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 1: lofty for a rookie.

856
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 3: In sitting with him and talking to him and hearing,

857
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 3: I don't think he's putting like I want to have

858
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,760
Speaker 3: four hundred and fifty receiving exactly.

859
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 1: I don't think he's like it's certainly not that.

860
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 3: He's he's not putting a goal on there that he

861
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 3: thinks is like an easiest handable goal, right, you know,

862
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 3: he's putting a lofty goal like he his goals at

863
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 3: Boston College. Break all the break every record, and be

864
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 3: a first round pick. Like that's the way that he thinks.

865
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 3: And that goes to that confidence. And I like that.

866
00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 3: And so I think that a thousand probably is gonna

867
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 3: be on that web point, that'll be.

868
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 1: On the whiteboard, all right, this is that would be

869
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 1: That would be an excellent, amazing rookie season.

870
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 3: And hearing the way that he talks, I feel like

871
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 3: that's where his mind is right and I and I

872
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:19,719
Speaker 3: like that.

873
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

874
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 3: So in terms of timeline here, just so listeners and

875
00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 3: viewers know where we are. Rookies reported last Tuesday. Quarterbacks

876
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:31,160
Speaker 3: arrived here on Thursday. The rest of the squad gets

877
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 3: here tomorrow on Tuesday, and the first practice is going

878
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 3: to be on Wednesday, all right, So that's the full rundown.

879
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: And we'll give you we'll do a podcast after Wednesday's practice, yes,

880
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 1: really kind of break down everything that happened on day one.

881
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're also going to have a full training camp

882
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 3: preview podcast. We're going to dive into all of this,

883
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,160
Speaker 3: which is gonna come out on Wednesday morning, So there's

884
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of stuff that we're working on.

885
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 3: But before we wrap up here, we got emails. A right,

886
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 3: So it's been a little while. Make takes vacation every

887
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 3: other week.

888
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,799
Speaker 1: It's vacation season every other way. By the way, that

889
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:03,360
Speaker 1: looks like a vacation shirt. That looks like a Tommy Bahamas.

890
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 3: I should be on vacation. Yeah, you would know. You've

891
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 3: just been living on the beach for the last month.

892
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 3: So we haven't done a podcast together in a little while,

893
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 3: and so we got these emails. Heales to the Lounge

894
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 3: at Ravens on NFL dot net. The last time we

895
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 3: did a podcast together actually was ice Cream Truck Draft.

896
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,719
Speaker 3: I mean it was a dominant another dominant performance by

897
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 3: me getting in the ice Cream Truck Draft. This from

898
00:36:30,200 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 3: Christian and Michigan says, I'm an avid listener of the

899
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 3: Lounge that I have never written before, but I just

900
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: could not miss the opportunity to write and say that

901
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,920
Speaker 3: Garrett destroyed Ryan in the draft. It was not even close,

902
00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 3: not even close. It was over by the third round.

903
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 3: Well done, Garrett, great picks. Your ice cream truck would

904
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:50,560
Speaker 3: make millions. Sir Trevor, what even your ice cream truck

905
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,479
Speaker 3: would make millions? What sir?

906
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 1: With the face? With the face?

907
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? All right, And then Trevor Watson says, the ice

908
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 3: cream app was all over the place. At points I

909
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 3: thought Make was winning. At points I thought she was.

910
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 3: But the first and second picks were good. But Make

911
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:09,399
Speaker 3: not being aware of how good the faces are, you're

912
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 3: hating on that face anything with a face from the

913
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 3: ice cream truck. And then taking a firecracker as an

914
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 3: example of how he's getting up there in age. You're

915
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 3: just getting up there in age.

916
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,280
Speaker 1: Look I heard I heard a little heat for taking

917
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: the Choco Taco number two overall and people being like, well,

918
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 1: it's just continued. Look the exercise. You assume the items

919
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: at the truck. If it's not on the menu board.

920
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,560
Speaker 1: If it's not at the truck, it ain't on the

921
00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: menu board. All right, So the Choko taco is available.

922
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, but by the way, on the Choco Taco, I

923
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:37,120
Speaker 3: didn't even say this, And and when we did the draft,

924
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 3: but like they canceled it. Cond like canceled, That's what

925
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 3: I'm saying. Yeah, but they canceled it. If it was

926
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 3: so popular, there's outrage. There's outrage.

927
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 1: It's including by me.

928
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 3: There was not outrage.

929
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 1: There was like three people there was riding in the street.

930
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 3: There was there's one person who was like, Hey, they

931
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 3: don't have the Choco talc anymore. Oh okay, So.

932
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: Taco fans unite and proved this man wrong. That was

933
00:37:58,560 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 1: also your.

934
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 3: First pick, which is Larry Trevor. I think clearly g

935
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 3: won the drafts due to his range of picks.

936
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: No, no, you're your day three picks were atrocious. Yeah,

937
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 1: I'll give you credit. You hit a couple of pro bowlers.

938
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 3: Here we go. John, I mean I can keep going.

939
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 3: I have I have thousands.

940
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 1: What about my guy, Jordan Fischett. I think my guy

941
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Fisher emails thousands.

942
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 3: My god.

943
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:21,799
Speaker 1: Jordan Fisher said, I may be basic, but I think

944
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 1: Mink got this one. Garrett, your draft had a lot

945
00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,239
Speaker 1: of stars in the first couple of rounds. But when

946
00:38:26,280 --> 00:38:28,840
Speaker 1: they go down. Uh, but when they go down, you

947
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: don't have anyone in the in the last few rounds.

948
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: Mink has reliable backups.

949
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 3: Uh huh, yeah, I guess.

950
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,120
Speaker 1: Backup Matt Judon's I had some Matt Judon picks.

951
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 3: Matt June is not a backup. Matt Jude was a

952
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 3: late pig.

953
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. It was a late pick, but

954
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: a star.

955
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,279
Speaker 3: You know you lost the draft if someone's praising your

956
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 3: backup so like, hey you got a great squad, you

957
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 3: had no death to his point, if you're if your

958
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 3: great JV squad, who cares about the JM squad? I

959
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:56,440
Speaker 3: got great stargy. I got a hall of famers. If

960
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 3: your favorite.

961
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 1: Melts, if your chip wish melts like gets a little soft,

962
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: and you're like, I can't eat this? You got nothing left?

963
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 2: I have?

964
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: You got nothing left?

965
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 3: Sure? My second pick, I went chip wich. And then

966
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 3: what was you had?

967
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:13,439
Speaker 1: The thing with the peanuts up the drum stick? Drumstick? Yeah, yeah,

968
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 1: all right, the trump sticks quality exactly.

969
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 3: That was it though.

970
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: That was the end of it for you.

971
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 3: As my guy Trevor just said, anything but anything with

972
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 3: a face is that great draft? And then Sam Emails

973
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 3: says the subject line is draft of the Ages. Uh,

974
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 3: once again you knocked it out of the park with

975
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 3: another draft. Uh the drafts you do highlight or one

976
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 3: of my highlights of being a Ravens fan. Wow, I'm glad,

977
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 3: I'm glad. We can bring you that that little bit.

978
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,880
Speaker 3: Then he says, perhaps the best line. You got some

979
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 3: praise for your debate style here. It was when Ryan shouted,

980
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 3: what does anything with a face even taste?

981
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: Like? That's true a lefter.

982
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:54,840
Speaker 3: And so he says, Garrett won the draft by you

983
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 3: would have won the draft by unanimous decision. Uh, But

984
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,359
Speaker 3: he kind of confuses himself because he said, I hated

985
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 3: on the cream sicole, but then then I took the

986
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,799
Speaker 3: cream sicle. I didn't actually take the creamicle you up

987
00:40:04,800 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 3: at the cream school the last so I would have

988
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:08,360
Speaker 3: won by Unana's decision.

989
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 1: But so I do want anyway, it sounds like that

990
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 1: was supported me.

991
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, Sam.

992
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 3: No, no, no, that was for me. I drafted the ages,

993
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 3: so it was kind of split, I would say on

994
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 3: the review it was split like ninety ten. It was

995
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 3: a clear split. So you can email us at the

996
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,800
Speaker 3: lounge at Ravens at NFL dot nett. We love to
