Speaker 1: Yeah, the one was big.

17
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 3: Like when you get drafted, you kind of get like

18
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: a flashback of all the tough moments, the rough moments

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 3: it took to get here, and then you know, it's

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 3: just superponsal for me because I was being able to

21
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,760
Speaker 3: stay in Florida and play for the Dad Watson it

22
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 3: kind of all the most concept.

23
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: So when you're sort of thinking that who are you

24
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: thinking about? Who were you sort of thinking in that moment?

25
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 2: Obviously family, friends, coaches who got you there, but sort

26
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 2: of take me through who was most important in that

27
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 2: moment to you?

28
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: Uh?

29
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 3: You know, first given of the guy for everything he's

30
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 3: put me through, got out of me, and you know,

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: best me to be able to see and it's beastically

32
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 3: to be able to be there in the moment. But

33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 3: I would say my mom, Like, my mom's big for me.

34
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 3: That's kind of like my rock, you know, that's my

35
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: goal to for everything. And my grandmother. You know, those

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: are two people I hold like really close to my heart.

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: And you know, my siblings. I got four other siblings.

38
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 3: I got a younger brother and three younger sisters. So

39
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: that's kind of like my core found kind of like

40
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: mean where everything goes to.

41
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: And then so you're there and in that moment, obviously

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: people saw the emotion and just how overcome you are

43
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 2: when you sort of start thinking about, hey, I get

44
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: to go keep playing football. That's sort of what struck

45
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: me and listening to it that you know, you play

46
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: all your life and then you're not guaranteed to play

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: after college. You have to sort of be in an

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 2: elite group, and you're probably told from the time you're

49
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: fourteen or fifteen, hey, you can't count on it, but

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 2: you still dream it. When you realize you're going to

51
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: get to keep going. What did that mean?

52
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 3: I kind of got known a little bit, you know,

53
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: because I kind of fell in love with the process,

54
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 3: you know, the process of being great, all the hard moments,

55
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: all the tough moments, all the highs and lows and

56
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 3: all in between. That you kind of fall in love

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: with those moments and that rush you can get from football,

58
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: it was a little different, you know.

59
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: So just being able to further my career.

60
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 3: In it and be able to do it at the

61
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 3: highest stage against the best, it was a blessing and

62
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 3: I'm so ready for it.

63
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 2: I talked to your decordinator at FSU last week and

64
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 2: he was talking about how you were able to not

65
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 2: only face adversity but sort of get better from it.

66
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 2: Is that how you saw your college as well?

67
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: Like I just told you about the highs and the

68
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: low you know, coming into college, especially coming to the

69
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: Forest State, I had in my mindset of what it

70
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: was supposed to look like, and I wanted everything to

71
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 3: be perfect, you know, but through my time on four Stay.

72
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: I learned that you're gonna go through some things.

73
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 3: Anything worth having is hard to obtain, you know, so

74
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 3: it's not always gonna be perfect.

75
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: But you got to make that decisions, wake up and

76
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 1: go chase it every day.

77
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, he said almost that exact thing he said. You know,

78
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: once he figured out, meaning you, once you figured out

79
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: that it wasn't always gonna look perfect, it's sort of

80
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: freed you up to actually go and be the best

81
00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: version of yourself, right, like you weren't putting much pressure

82
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: on yourself off.

83
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 3: Maybe yeah, yeah, because I was a big perfectionist. You know,

84
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 3: I want everything to be this way. Had it go

85
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 3: this way because I put a lot of time into it.

86
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 3: But you know, just through your growth process, you just

87
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: start to understand that everything is not gonna go exactly

88
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: how you en visit you but you got to learn

89
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 3: to battle it and fight it through all the adversity

90
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 3: to come through it.

91
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: Tell me your uh, your favorite m JD play of

92
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 2: all time? Is there one that strikes out or it was?

93
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: It's not really like one that strikes up, you know,

94
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: because when I was young, you know, I had the

95
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: jersey I had to I had to everything, you know.

96
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: So like watching him when I was young, like I

97
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 1: just had.

98
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: A collective opinion of what he was, you know. I

99
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 3: always like he was my go to like a man

100
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 3: and everything, you know. So I didn't really have like

101
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: a specific play. He was just the player that I

102
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 3: always grow up watching.

103
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: How many yards did you run?

104
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: For?

105
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 2: Him? And Madden every week by two?

106
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 3: Because I was a big I was a big affirmation

107
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 3: guy and that was back you know, back in the old.

108
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: Man that was a big thing to do. Man, it's

109
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 1: not really.

110
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: Big, right, but I was a big firm got so

111
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 3: many stretches right left inside zone dive and he going

112
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 3: crazy like that.

113
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: Don'tbody mean him? Man?

114
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 2: And anybody who played knew that right back.

115
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 3: Then then nobody want to see me if I got

116
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: the jazz and it was over it.

117
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 2: Have you had a chance to reach out to him

118
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: yet or is that still coming?

119
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 3: Uh?

120
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,120
Speaker 1: It's still coming. But he hit me up on Instagram

121
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: and just let me know.

122
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 3: He was like, I'm a big fan of you too,

123
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 3: but I'm so happy with Draft, Like I've been watching

124
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: for a while.

125
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: And that's one of those moments, isn't it.

126
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 3: The notification came on my phone and said Jones Drew,

127
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 3: I thought somebody was playing. I thought like a fan

128
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 3: baig and I went to it and they was like

129
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 3: verified and they show like him being on TV. I

130
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 3: was like, oh man, it's in for real. It was

131
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: like one of them crazy moments.

132
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a good guy. You enjoy meeting him?

133
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: He so.

134
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 2: Tell me. Uh And again, I know before your senior

135
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 2: season started, meeting twenty twenty three, they came to and said,

136
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 2: once you play nickel after playing outside now with corners,

137
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 2: that can sometimes be no, I want to be the

138
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: outside guy. But again you sort of embraced that and

139
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 2: really took your game to a different level. What did

140
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: that transition? I guess what did it take for you

141
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 2: to commit to that? And then once you committed to it,

142
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: what was it like?

143
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: It didn't really it really take me.

144
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: You know, I wouldn't say no time to commit to

145
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 3: it because you know, I had been like I was

146
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 3: practicing it a little bit like as we went. So

147
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: it kind of started in the spring and we're practicing

148
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 3: it was like you might going to Nikels just.

149
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: Practiced a little bit.

150
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: So I was just practiced it, but not knowing I

151
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 3: was gonna end up being a four time Nickel. So

152
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,559
Speaker 3: I got close to the season and then fall camp

153
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: I ended up breaking my hand.

154
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 1: So I broke my hand. I couldn't do the entire

155
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:47,559
Speaker 1: fall camp.

156
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,919
Speaker 3: So like that week before the game, like when I

157
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 3: started coming back, that's when they brought it to me,

158
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 3: you know. And I really didn't really have no problem

159
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: with it because I understood like it gave me a

160
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 3: sense of like it gave me a sense of.

161
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: Like titlement in the defense.

162
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 3: It was you I had to be on my p's

163
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 3: and Q so everyone else could be on their piece

164
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 3: and Q because and I defense the NUKA had to

165
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: make a lot of the calls and it just chick.

166
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 3: So it gave me a sense that and titled me

167
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: like I gotta be my best so everyone else can

168
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 3: be their best, so that's how we can win. So

169
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 3: and it kind of feel my personality like I'm kind

170
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,119
Speaker 3: of an outgoing person, like I got a lot of energy,

171
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 3: you know, so just being a Nickel kind of killed

172
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 3: me in the line of fire, like kind of killed

173
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 3: me engaged in the game, you know, not just moving

174
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: to nigga.

175
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: Just let me make plays, you know.

176
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 3: I definitely believe that like I'm I'm a playmaker.

177
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: I like to make plays. You know.

178
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 3: It just put me closer to the ball. I can

179
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 3: do a lot of things. I can live, I have

180
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: to play coverage, you know, I just do a lot

181
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: of things, you know. So it just being a niuk

182
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: I kind of let me bring up my full skill set.

183
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: I was gonna aspect the last part because you know,

184
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 2: it sort of varies from defense to defense, but in

185
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: most defenses, the nickel has to be. Uh, the more

186
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: aware of player, the more you know, and there's a

187
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: lot more going on inside at the nickel, a lot

188
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 2: more responsibility than there is just asking a guy to

189
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 2: go cover a guy. So I've always thought football players

190
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: play nickel, meaning you've got to know what's going on

191
00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 2: in the field. An athlete can go cover a guy outside.

192
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 2: Is that how you see yourself football player? You've been

193
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 2: playing a long time game awareness and that sort of thing.

194
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 2: Is that a strength?

195
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why I see myself as I've defecated a

196
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 3: lot of my instincts and I put a lot of

197
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: time into my preparations for the game, you know. So

198
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 3: I like to think that I always like to put

199
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 3: myself in the best position. You know, so just being

200
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 3: a nickel it lets me be a football player.

201
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: Like it lets me just go make plays, go playball.

202
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, would you have been You're

203
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: a fifty year guy coming out, We're in college, five

204
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: years you transferred, You've been through a lot in college.

205
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 2: Would you have been ready to go to the NFL

206
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 2: a year or two ago maturity wise? Or is this

207
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 2: the right time for you to be coming out, meaning

208
00:08:58,240 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: you've learned a lot in college.

209
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this is the right time for me

210
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: coming out.

211
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: You know, I definitely think I still needed to grow,

212
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: you know, I still think I needed to go through

213
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: some things by myself, right Like that was a big

214
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 3: thing for me, trusting me going on Florida State, Liavingssissippi.

215
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 3: It was some things I needed to go through by myself,

216
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: and I didn't need no help in hand.

217
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: I didn't need nobody to be on my side. You know.

218
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 3: So this at this point in time in my career,

219
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 3: I felt like it was a perfect time, you know,

220
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,480
Speaker 3: because I went through those challenges. I built Ford tough,

221
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: you know. I went through all the all the band stuff,

222
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 3: all the high the lows in between, and I stood

223
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 3: the test. You know, I stood up in and became

224
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: a man, So I definitely felt like this was the.

225
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: Time for me to go. Now.

226
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: I saw the combine time for three eight right now.

227
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: You know, your teammates when you get here are gonna say,

228
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: are you really a four to three eight? Is that real?

229
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: You run that before? Man, that's fast for a nickels,

230
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 2: Why I ask.

231
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, I exercised, gonna run faster than that. It

232
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 3: was supposed to be faster than that. But once I

233
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 3: seen it four three on the time, I was just like,

234
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna run again.

235
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 2: But you're and on.

236
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: Teammates, don't think I am that fan. Definitely creating brass

237
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 1: how early?

238
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 2: And how many people call you jar jar?

239
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: All right?

240
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 3: So I think that's something just the Internet came up with.

241
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: My career nickname is Jada. Okay, call him and Jada.

242
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 3: Even the fans at for State, everybody knows them boy Jada.

243
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 3: Nobody really called him Jarry okay, and I laughed when

244
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 3: people call me Jerry because it's like the wrong pronunciation

245
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 3: of it's called it's jarring. But my real nickname is Jada.

246
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: Though I got you, so uh, it seems like and

247
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: again this is what your coach said, that you're still

248
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 2: growing and developing as a player. Uh so you feel

249
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: I assume you still feel like sky's the limit for you.

250
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: There's a lot more for you to grow and a

251
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 2: lot more for you to do.

252
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, I definitely feel like my best football is

253
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: a hit of me. You know. I was one of

254
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: those guys.

255
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: So the summer between my sophomore year a high school

256
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: with my junior year, that's when I started, you know,

257
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 3: playing and I played receiver that entire time. So when

258
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 3: I got to college, that's when I started playing and

259
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 3: dB and so like through this into my entire college departs,

260
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: I say, I need to go to some things and

261
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: learn and grow because I was learning how to play

262
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: dB every year. Like every year you can see like

263
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: the progression of me playing dB, you know. So I

264
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 3: definitely feel like now I don't found it, Like I

265
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: don't found it now, so now I'm learning every year.

266
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: I think Doug Peterson and Trent Balkey both talked about

267
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 2: when this guy gets here, you guys are gonna see

268
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: the personality like it just comes through. Do you bring

269
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 2: that to a team. That's something that even as a rookie,

270
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna bring right, it's just you.

271
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just me.

272
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,680
