17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 3: go a lot of ways, a lot of ways.

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 4: Quick, quick, quick, look, I don't even know if he's JJ,

19
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 4: and that's in that new commercial.

20
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 5: So JA tell us about just growing up, like a

21
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 5: little bit about your background.

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, obviously, I was one of three boys,

23
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 3: I was oldest one, so we always battled in the backyard,

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 3: and I think that's partially what made us better. My

25
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 3: dad was a firefighter, so he always taught us, you know,

26
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 3: work ethic, discipline, those types of things. My mom started

27
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: as a secretary at her company and worked her way

28
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: up to become the vice president of that company. So

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 3: my mom was hard on in school. My dad was

30
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: hard on some sports. And we just pushed each other

31
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: and tried to make each other better and mainly just

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 3: messed around, but became great athletes because of it. And

33
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 3: very very fortunate to have had an incredible support system

34
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:45,759
Speaker 3: that got me to where I am.

35
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 5: Always admirerd is from Afar like to have for your mother,

36
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 5: to have three men that played in the NFL like that,

37
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 5: that's to me, that's not heard of. Like you, you

38
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 5: you're happy for one person to make it right, but

39
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 5: to have three signs to play in the NFL. Tell

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 5: me what that was like in how like how you

41
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 5: felt about that?

42
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: I appreciate. I think it's a testament to them, our parents,

43
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 3: because I think a they instilled in us the belief

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: that we could which from our high school. One person

45
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: that ever made it to the NFL. So it's not

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: like you have this crazy number of blueprints in front

47
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 3: of us, like one person in history. But our parents

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 3: always made us believe we could. And then the second

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 3: part of it was they taught us how to make

50
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 3: that a reality. They taught us how to work, They

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: taught us how to be disciplined. They taught us how

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 3: to take care of our studies and take care of

53
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: our practice and do the extra. So I think it

54
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: was that combination of building the belief in ourselves and

55
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: the work ethic to back it up.

56
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 4: I got a chance to spend a week out there

57
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 4: with you guys in Wisconsin, and you know TJ and

58
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 4: them boys.

59
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 2: Is young, and you know, you being a role model league.

60
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 4: By example, did you have a fanthem like you know,

61
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: obviously he was put into that position, but did you

62
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 4: know that you naturally become a leader, you know, for

63
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 4: your brothers to fall into your footstep and obviously look

64
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 4: at the career TJ's having and things like that, Like

65
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 4: for me, it's kind of crazy just to think back.

66
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: There there's a video of like me and Cush and

67
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: Connor borrowing training. Like when my first year in the

68
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: league and TJ's they are pushing prowlers with us, and

69
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 3: it's not on the video, but he'd puking off to

70
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 3: the side and coming back in and training with us,

71
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 3: like those types of experience. I guess I was probably

72
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: a little naive in thinking that, like it was just

73
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 3: expected that we were going to make it work. Like I,

74
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: like I knew they were going to be successful because

75
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 3: I watched them work and we didn't know anything else.

76
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: Like my parents, like I told you, they taught us

77
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 3: that if you have a dream and you go after it,

78
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: you can accomplish it. So it wasn't a matter of

79
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 3: can they make it to the NFL, it's when will they?

80
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 3: And it was I think it was just that and

81
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: then them being able to be around this, being able

82
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: to see you guys, like I wish you could see

83
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: some of the group chats of my brothers and I

84
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 3: because they tell stories about YouTube, like they tell stories

85
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: about k Jack, like telling me stories about Sean Coley

86
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 3: and like the softball game and all this stuff. Like

87
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 3: they lived their entire childhood watching you guys, and that's

88
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: all they've ever known.

89
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 5: Did you have any offers coming out of high school

90
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 5: or how did heard.

91
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: On one of the sights and I was a zero

92
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 3: star on the other. But so like in high school,

93
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,559
Speaker 3: you have like that camp circuit. You go do camps

94
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: and you get offers. I got Mono in high school,

95
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 3: so I didn't get to do the camp circuit, but

96
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 3: I got a couple offers here and there. Wyoming was

97
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 3: my first offer, never forget it. Thought it was the coolest,

98
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 3: craziest thing ever. My dad got on a plane, flew

99
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: my tape out to Miami to Wyoming, put it on

100
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 3: the table, and then flew back home same day. And

101
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: they ended up offering me. And then a couple other

102
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 3: schools offered. But I was like that kid in the

103
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: candy store. I was like, I got an offer, let me.

104
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 3: Central Michigan offered and I went visited Brian Kelly and

105
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 3: I went ended up committing there. I had a long recruitment.

106
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,359
Speaker 3: It was kind of crazy. I committed to Central Michigan.

107
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: Brian Kelly left for Cincinnati, so I committed to Minnesota.

108
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 3: Glenn Mason got fired, so then I just committed back

109
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: to Central Michigan. It was like, let me just go

110
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: go back to where I know. But then it was.

111
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: I started as a true freshman at tight end, but

112
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 3: we ran the spread. Tight end didn't do much, and

113
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: I could tell like they wanted to move me offensive

114
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 3: tackle because Joe Staley was a great player who did

115
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:20,359
Speaker 3: the same thing. But that wasn't my destiny. Like I

116
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 3: just I knew that wasn't for me. I wanted to

117
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: make plays. I wanted to be able to control my

118
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 3: own destiny. And so I transferred to Wisconsin, walked on,

119
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: and the rest is kind of history.

120
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: What made you go from Central Michigan to Wisconsin.

121
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 3: Wisconsin was always a dream. I grew up there. I

122
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 3: grew up watching the Badgers. I grew up seeing Ron

123
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: Day and win the Rose Bowl. In Wisconsin, there's the

124
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 3: Green Bay Packers and there's the Wisconsin Badgers. That's what

125
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 3: you watch, and it's almost like it's a mythical, like

126
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: unattainable level, you know. And so when they told me

127
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 3: like I was too small out of high school and

128
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: they didn't have an offer, and they didn't even want

129
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 3: they didn't even have a walk on spot, I was

130
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 3: almost like, yeah, I get it, like you're Wisconsin. But

131
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 3: then after my first year at Central Michigan, I was

132
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 3: like I'm chasing my dream, like that's my dream. I mean,

133
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 3: at least go chase it. If I have to walk

134
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 3: on and I fail, at least I can say I

135
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: can live with myself and say I try.

136
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm fast forward a little bit talking

137
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: about when you got drafted, and I just want to

138
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 4: ask you about the story. I don't know if you

139
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 4: heard this story or not, but I'm gonna just tell

140
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 4: now because I remember when I came here and everybody

141
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 4: wanted to get Nan and be ost some more, and

142
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 4: they got me and Danielle Manny and then I just

143
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,799
Speaker 4: remember hearing through the waves that they wanted to draft

144
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 4: Alden Smith or whatever, and obviously he went to the

145
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 4: forty nine ers and again that you slipped down and

146
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: I remember the people kind of booing or whatever, and

147
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,800
Speaker 4: I wasn't really here for the draft because it was

148
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 4: a lockout. You you know, it was a weird year

149
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 4: that year, and it kind of happened fast, and just

150
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 4: me thinking back, like damn, they was booing, you know,

151
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 4: and now just.

152
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: To look at it, they did bow. I didn't confirm,

153
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 3: but I get it.

154
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 4: The draft is like, well West Constin you hear Wisconsin

155
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:52,839
Speaker 4: you know you're looking for the SEC or whatever.

156
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: Yes, they have no idea. Yeah no, So on Draft night,

157
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: I know that they in the spot that they wanted.

158
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 3: They were looking that like Prince of Mukermore. They were

159
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 3: looking at Nick Fairley like the fans were like they

160
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: wanted these guys. I think Nick Fairley was the National

161
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 3: Championship game and Retavoc and all these things. On Draft night,

162
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 3: I was sitting there and I had actually heard that

163
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 3: the Texans and the Cardinals were planning on trading picks.

164
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: The Cardinals had five and the Texans had eleven, and

165
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: I believe that the Texans were going to take Patrick

166
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 3: Peterson at five and then the Cardinals were going to

167
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 3: take me at eleven. Didn't end up working out for

168
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: whatever reason, and I ended up playing for both teams.

169
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 5: Anyway, It's one of my greatest memories of you being

170
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 5: your teammate, and it was a play. It was our

171
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: first playoff game, the pick against Cincinnati. I tell people

172
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 5: all the time, I've never ever heard that stadium get

173
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 5: that loud ever in my life.

174
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: And I played.

175
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 5: You know I've been here for You're the only person

176
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 5: I ever really seen do that, Like just you come

177
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 5: out your stands and just pick a ball up, like what.

178
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 2: How does that happen?

179
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: Like it was partially because my pass rush was so

180
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 3: bad that I had to stand it a lot. I

181
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: didn't beat the guy in front of me, so I

182
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: just had to stand there and like, hope you threw

183
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: it my way, and then I almost tripped on my

184
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 3: way to the end zone. But for me, that was

185
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 3: my dances are embarrassing. It's really really bad. I watched

186
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: all these highlights and like, I'm like, someday, my son's

187
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: gonna watch these and he's gonna see some really cool

188
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,439
Speaker 3: and then he's gonna see some embarrassing stuff. But that

189
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 3: I mean, that was obviously kind of like coming out party,

190
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: whatever you want, like for not only myself, but for

191
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 3: our whole squad, like maybe first ever playoff appearance, first

192
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 3: ever playoff win, like this city was on fire man,

193
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: And for me that was I tell people all the time,

194
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 3: like I played twelve years in the league, but those

195
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: first two years were the best I've ever been a

196
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 3: part of because of the chemistry that we had, because

197
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: of the squad that we had, how good we were.

198
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: It always crushes me that we didn't fulfill what I

199
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,199
Speaker 3: believe our potential was because we were really something special

200
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: and those not only the stuff on the field, man,

201
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 3: but the locker room. We had such a great, great team. Yeah,

202
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 3: I tell people that all the time. I think for me.

203
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 5: And I think you know, me and j Joe talked

204
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 5: about it a lot too, Like I think the thing

205
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 5: we miss is the locker room. Like you missed the

206
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 5: locker room. You missed the plane rides, the bus rides

207
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 5: and things of that nature.

208
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 2: You know.

209
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 5: With as far as playing the game, I don't have

210
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 5: to play it again, But when I get to be

211
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 5: around the guys.

212
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 2: Is what we uh, you know what we miss about it.

213
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 3: And we were on those small planes back then. Guys,

214
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 3: it was the guys sit right next to each other

215
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: middle like people now report cardsty but like that was

216
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: the best. It was almost better because you just didn't

217
00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 3: care about anything else. We were just hanging out in

218
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: the back of the plane balling, and then after the

219
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: game you were just having a great time. Dude.

220
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: It was you can't get that feeling bad, No, you

221
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 4: can never. I can never get to feeling a picture

222
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 4: and you and cushing against Kevin Johnson football and trash.

223
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 3: That's yes, man, Like all those little things like I'll

224
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 3: never like we used to have the things between the

225
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 3: DB's and the D line where if we got sacks,

226
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: it was this. If you guys got picks, it was that.

227
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: Like there's just nothing better than coming in a Monday

228
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: after a win and it's just we're all just hanging out.

229
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 3: We have the donuts on Saturday morning, like you have

230
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 3: the dinners on Thursday nights. Just those are the best,

231
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 3: And those are the things, like you said, you missed

232
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 3: the most and that you can never get back no

233
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 3: matter how much you try and recreate it.

234
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 5: There was a time where it just flipped for you

235
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 5: as a player. When did you feel like that moment was?

236
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 4: That's what I was going actually, but because I missed it.

237
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: It was. I can I can very distinctly tell you

238
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 3: when it was. And I've told this story a couple

239
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: of times, and I always preface it by and I

240
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: don't recommend this for people, but this is what it is,

241
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 3: what it was for me. So I came in as

242
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 3: a rookie and I started. They I was drafted eleven,

243
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 3: so they put me as a starter right away. And

244
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: I'll never forget Amobia Koy was incredible about it. He

245
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 3: was the guy before me, but he helped me learn, knowing

246
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 3: full well that I was taking his spot. MOBI was awesome.

247
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 3: But I came in and they put me in that

248
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 3: role right away, and I started to struggle a little bit,

249
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 3: like especially in the first few games, like I was

250
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: playing three technique and I was getting cut off by

251
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 3: the guard on these backsides. And so I got into

252
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 3: a game and I think it was the fourth game

253
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: of the season against the Ravens and Marshall Yondo's the

254
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: guard and I get cut off on this as a

255
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 3: three technique and I come off to the sideline and

256
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 3: Bill Colard just rips me to shreds. You guys know,

257
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 3: I mean, just rips me to shreds. I go out

258
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 3: the next series, same thing, just get cut off again.

259
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,800
Speaker 3: I come back to the sideline. Colard just destroys me.

260
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 3: The third time. I get cut off again. I come

261
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 3: to the sideline. Colar looks at Cap, our trainer, and

262
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: goes Cap take his helmet away. He's never going back

263
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 3: in this game. So I'm sitting there on the sideline

264
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 3: like as a rookie, just dejected, like I suck at football.

265
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 3: My coach hates me. I'm never gonna play again. This

266
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: is the worst thing ever. We get on the flight,

267
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 3: we go home. On the way home, I literally lived

268
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: at the old Spanish Trail apartments right over here. So

269
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: I stopped with the cross off of the grocery store

270
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: right over here. I pick up a twelve pac and

271
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: I go to my house. I'm like, this sucks. I'm

272
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 3: just going to drink by myself. So I go and

273
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 3: I drink by myself. And I ended up cutting on

274
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 3: some high school highlights just because I was like, I

275
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: need to feel good about myself, like that I can

276
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 3: play football. So I started cutting out some high school highlights.

277
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 3: I start cutting on some college highlights and I'm getting

278
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 3: like seven or eight deep here, and all of a sudden,

279
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 3: I'm like, you know what you got. You can be

280
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: this as want. But that guy, that guy, I'm good

281
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: at football, like those guards like I'm good at football,

282
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 3: Like if I'm going to go out. I was trying

283
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 3: to be so perfect with my technique, with my hands,

284
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: with my feet, I was trying to do it exactly

285
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: how we taught on every single play. And I finally

286
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 3: that night, probably because of the libations, I was like,

287
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: just go out there and play man. If you get

288
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 3: cut and if you don't make it, at least do

289
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: it your way. And so then I started playing a

290
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 3: little more free uh, and they started giving me a

291
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: little more freedom. But it was a combination of Then

292
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: Bill would reined me in with I gave some of

293
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 3: my freedoms, and then he was able to rain me

294
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 3: back in and teach me the technique that I needed,

295
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: and somehow it magically married up and turned into a

296
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 3: great player. But Bill Kohlar absolutely hated him for about

297
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 3: the first eight weeks of my NFL career and now

298
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 3: I love him like, you know, a best friend, and

299
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,599
Speaker 3: I'm so thankful for him. And then I got to

300
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 3: give credit to Wad Phillips. Wade Phillips was an unbelievable

301
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 3: man to play for and gave me so much confidence

302
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: that I never would have had if it weren't for him.

303
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 4: Trust me, I had to go to back for you.

304
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 4: And as funny as it sounded like, dre No, you

305
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 4: know when you first took off every question everywhere you

306
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 4: go man at that white where we did that go

307
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: and trust me, hey, I got to enjoy out him.

308
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 4: You know, I'm going back and running through practice. I'm

309
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 4: looking at the one on ones. I love to watch it,

310
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: you know what I mean. So for me as a

311
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 4: player playing with you, I just got to let you

312
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 4: know just how I appreciate it.

313
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 2: Was like you made my job easier every time we

314
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 2: took the field.

315
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 4: And now, looking back on it, like you said, I

316
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 4: don't even know when it took off, because before I knew,

317
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 4: it was seventeen sacks, eighteen twenty back to back to back,

318
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 4: and then they put you on offense. People see some

319
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 4: of the interceptions in the game. I had to watch

320
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 4: you destroy some of my defenders in practice. I was like, man,

321
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 4: this dude is getting.

322
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 3: Out of hand. No, I gotta tell you guys man

323
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 3: like you Jack d Man, like all the guys in

324
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 3: the back end, like for a defensive lineman. It makes

325
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: our jobs so incredibly easy. And I think that was

326
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 3: the beauty of why Wade Phillips defense works so well.

327
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 3: Wade loves cover one like he wants to run cover one.

328
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: He wants to run man a man, you can't do

329
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: it if you don't have dogs at corner. And we

330
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 3: had you and j Jo and guys out there shutting

331
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 3: people down. So for me, it was sack City because

332
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 3: I just got to eat. I give a ton of

333
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 3: credit to you guys. I always talk about obviously Aaron

334
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 3: Donald's an unbelievable player. He played in the Wade Phillips

335
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 3: system as well. Same thing like dogs on the back end,

336
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: let the front end eat, and that's when football is

337
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 3: really fine. But I remember when it's chance.

338
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 4: You thought you can just walk around like you say,

339
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 4: you win in the grocery store, got a twelve pack,

340
00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden it became you couldn't

341
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 4: even go the gallery of the moment.

342
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, talk about how they felt.

343
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: It was a little wild because you know, I'm a

344
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 3: kid from Wisconsin. I come down to Houston. I've never

345
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 3: been here before, and so I'm going to Cavenders and

346
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 3: they're getting my cowboy hat and cowboy boots, like I'm

347
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 3: walking around AGB like getting my groceries. And then I

348
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: think it was probably like I mean, it was definitely

349
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: the playoff game after that, where like you go to

350
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 3: AGB and you're like, all right, this is taking like

351
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 3: an hour and forty five minutes to get my groceries

352
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 3: because everybody wants pictures. And then it just kind of snowballed,

353
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: and then you're doing the commercials and then everything starts

354
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 3: to blow up, and nobody can ever prepare you for

355
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: how to handle it, like nobody could have ever taught

356
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,200
Speaker 3: me or told me how to handle it, because you

357
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 3: just kind of have to experience it. And there's definitely

358
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 3: certain things that I would look back on and like,

359
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: having the wisdom I have now, I would handle them

360
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 3: differently and I would do things differently. But I also

361
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 3: realized the life I have is because of it, and

362
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 3: so I'm unbelievably grateful. I have a connection with the

363
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: city of Houston, Texas that never in my wildest dreams

364
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 3: would I imagine that to hear would be I feel

365
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: like family. But every time I get here and I

366
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 3: step off the plane or I walk around, it truly

367
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: truly feels like family. And I think you guys probably

368
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,200
Speaker 3: feel that the same, like something about it. They've embraced me,

369
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 3: And I'm so grateful, grand Is.

370
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 4: We flew back on that plane from the empty the

371
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 4: music Awards.

372
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,640
Speaker 2: We should have partied that night.

373
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 3: You're right, You're right. One of those things, one of

374
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: those things like where I'm like, did you really need

375
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 3: to get back that night, like like I was like,

376
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 3: there's a lot of stuff like that that I looked

377
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 3: at where I'm like, all right, so why were you

378
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 3: so tough? Didn't matter on March thirtieth that you were

00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 3: in the gym. You couldn't have couldn't have had one

Speaker 3: let's get back here playing.

392
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 5: That's crazy because that was the part anywhere. Yeah, I know,

393
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 5: I was a little jealous. I see y'all guys on

394
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 5: that trip. I didn't get to make that trip.

395
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 3: I think I was big into the Country Music Awards.

396
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 2: No, I'm not digging too it. I just wanted to go.

397
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 3: To it was it was fun man who we had,

398
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 3: We had Coursery had Ben Jack Jack, this is.

399
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 5: A good trip of a trip. I would always see

400
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 5: you like stay after practice, like I remember. I think

401
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 5: it was the Hard Knocks thing, and it was one

402
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 5: like they showed you like staying after practice. And I

403
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 5: I was in Indie, I think at the time when

404
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 5: that the Hard Knocks was here, and I got like, man,

405
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 5: is he really liked that? Like you know, like does

406
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 5: he like really do that? And I'm like yeah, like

407
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 5: he worked his ass off, Like yeah, so what what

408
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 5: what do you.

409
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 2: Think that came from? Like what you know? What made you?

410
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 3: I think part of it is how I was raised,

411
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 3: Like I said, my parents, that's what they taught me. Literally,

412
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,399
Speaker 3: they taught me like you're being you want to be great,

413
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,719
Speaker 3: work to be great, put in the work. And then

414
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 3: once I got to the NFL, it was people are

415
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 3: paying millions of dollars, fans are watching, like you better

416
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 3: go out there and earn that. So there was that

417
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 3: in me, But then there was also the part of

418
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 3: me that felt that obligation to this place, to my teammates,

419
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 3: to the city, that I had to be that person.

420
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,679
Speaker 3: And now I fully understand that people would question it.

421
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 3: Some people look at it called cheesy whatever it is,

422
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 3: and there's there's definitely some cheesy that I'm like, like

423
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 3: you were, you were a little cheesy. But the one

424
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,199
Speaker 3: thing that was never cheesy was the work. Like there

425
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 3: might be some things with you know, trying to act

426
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 3: like Captain America and some of like the squeaky clean

427
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: image and all that, but the work was never a joke.

428
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 3: Like that was always true because I and it probably

429
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 3: was a part of my downfall, honestly, with some of

430
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 3: my injuries. Like I thought I was superman. I thought

431
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 3: that I could lift every weight in the gym. I

432
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 3: thought I could run routes with the receivers. I thought

433
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 3: I could do sprints with the DB's squad like like

434
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: I just thought, like and like when I when I

435
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 3: got injured, I was like, oh, I'm going to be

436
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 3: back faster than anybody in history has ever been back.

437
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 5: You want to know the crazy thing, It's funny you

438
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 5: bring that up about you felt like you can go

439
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 5: through anything. I remember when you dislocated your elbow in

440
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 5: training count and I I could remember it so vividly.

441
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:48,880
Speaker 5: It was like you could hear a rap his own car.

442
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 5: Everybody got so quiet, like the fans everybody, and I'm

443
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 5: sitting there. I'm like, oh, like this just this just

444
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 5: didn't happen. But I remember seeing you in the training

445
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 5: room and it was like a couple of days later

446
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 5: push up and I'm like, that's no, what do from

447
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 5: the pounce back, like like he's doing push up. You

448
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 5: literally just just located a couple of days ago and

449
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 5: now you're doing push ups.

450
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: So it's just like, what what was it? Like? You

451
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 2: just always felt like you can always come back?

452
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,879
Speaker 3: Man. I thought I was superman. I'm telling you, like,

453
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 3: especially then because I did so so that day that

454
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 3: was Miane Cushion plane linebacker, your foster playing running. I

455
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 3: saw it. I was unbelievable. He literally ran through. My

456
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 3: arm was in the worst position if you saw two

457
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 3: trains coming down the track. I just stuck my arm

458
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 3: between both of them, and Arian came this way and

459
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 3: Chris came this way, and my arm was right here

460
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: and just poof, so my elbow facing the other way.

461
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 3: Calf Our trainer comes out and he's like, oh, yeah,

462
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,359
Speaker 3: that's this okay, And I'm like, no, caf is facing

463
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: the wrong way, and he goes, all right, I'm gonna

464
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 3: put it back in. He goes to put it back in,

465
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,639
Speaker 3: bone on bone he missed, and then he goes to

466
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 3: put it back in again. He gets it in. He goes, oh, wow,

467
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 3: this was my first time doing that. I was like, yeah,

468
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:07,879
Speaker 3: I can tell you missed the first time, dude. So

469
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 3: then I got to go to the hospital and get

470
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 3: on my MRIs or anything. But like you said, they

471
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 3: pop it back in. Basically tell me I have no

472
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 3: tendons left, but we're not going to fix it because

473
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 3: I'm not a picture so I don't need the tendence.

474
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 3: I don't know any better. So I'm like, all right.

475
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 3: Two days later, I'm like, let me just see how

476
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 3: I feel. I do a push up on the desk

477
00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 3: and then they call doctor Lowe over and doctor low

478
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 3: watches me do a push up and he's like, I've

479
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 3: never seen that before, and so me, I'm like, damn right,

480
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 3: you haven't, Like, damn right, you haven't seen that before,

481
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 3: Like wait till you see what I'm about to do.

482
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 3: And he's like, well, there's no way you're gonna be

483
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 3: ready for the first week. But I think in a

484
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: couple weeks. I was like, funny, fuddy, I got this.

485
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 3: And then I think that just honestly built my confidence

486
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 3: for that and some of my naivity and innocence and stupidity,

487
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,239
Speaker 3: because I just from that point forward, I was like,

488
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 3: nothing can stop me. I'm fine.

489
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: Man.

490
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: I had never heard JJ tell that story. If I don't,

491
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: Jae's ever told that story. I did not know that

492
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 1: was the case, man. That was That was some awesome

493
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: stuff talking about his elbow injury early in his career,

494
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 1: and an of course, he wore that brace for the

495
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: remainder of his career as a crutch he leaned on

496
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: but kind of liked it. He looked badass with it too.

497
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,639
Speaker 1: Call all kinds of footballs. I saw something posted on

498
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,880
Speaker 1: Twitter today for my buddy Ben Finel, who works for

499
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: ESPN CBS. There's a lot of different stuff NFL films,

500
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: and he posted a tweet from five years ago was

501
00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: during COVID. He was like, man, jj Watt could have

502
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 1: been one hell of a tight end. JJ Watt was

503
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: a great tight end. He was incredible and the video

504
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: below was him going one on one against Christian Kirksey

505
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: against the Browns at twenty fourteen, which was incredible one

506
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: on one WAT against Kirksey and what makes a great

507
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: fade catch in the end zone.

508
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 2: It was.

509
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: He was incredible. He was absolutely incredible. There's no doubt

510
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: about that. All Right, we got more with JJ and

511
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: Andre and j jo on Goat Talk coming up next

517
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:19,879
Speaker 1: Andre Johnson as well. When we left the discussion, JJ

518
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: talked about his elbow injury. Well, Andre took it a

519
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: little further discussing this injury, and Cush took some strays.

520
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: Brady James took some strays. This is great stuff, as

521
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: Andre recalled that moment when JJ injured his elbow early

522
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: in his career.

523
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, Bro, I swear like I could remember very vividly.

524
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 2: I remember seeing Cush run through your arm because.

525
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 5: I wasn't even in on the plate when it happened,

526
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 5: so I remember I'm staying on the sideline and when

527
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 5: I saw it, I'm like, oh no, like I know,

528
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 5: this just didn't happen.

529
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: Right, I remember you talking about it.

530
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,679
Speaker 5: Right, yeah, I'm like you gotta think thinking. I'm like,

531
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 5: why could you do that? Like I'm pissing because I'm like,

532
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 5: think about thinking about that squad. But it was I

533
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 5: think we were we were doing like a live.

534
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,159
Speaker 3: So I was tackling think about that craziness of that

535
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 3: sentence along like you got Brian Cushing, Arian Foster myself.

536
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 4: But I remember correctly, who's really coming down here, Brady James.

537
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 3: Brady James. I love some Brady James. I never forget

538
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: because when that happened, when I just okay, elbow coolar

539
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 3: looked like he was going to cry. And that was

540
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 3: the first moment that I was like, this guy actually

541
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: cares about me.

542
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,239
Speaker 5: I was like, yeah, you know what, he's all right

543
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,439
Speaker 5: when that happened, And and that's that's when I'm like,

544
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 5: you already taken off at that time in your career,

545
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 5: but like when that happened, just to see the way

546
00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 5: that people reacted, like everybody was like like all right,

547
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 5: because you know, we were thinking like he's going to

548
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 5: be out for some games. You know, we don't know

549
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 5: when he had come back, but to see you doing

550
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 5: pushups like a few days later, I'm like.

551
00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 3: Well, that was also a few days after Wade. I

552
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: always give Wade credit for this. Wade before my second

553
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 3: season ever started. So I mean this was like I

554
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 3: had a decent end of the rookie year, but I

555
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 3: hadn't done anything crazy yet. And Wade had told the

556
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 3: media like He's going to be a bust, not a

557
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 3: first round bus, but a Hall of Famer. And I

558
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 3: read that, literally read it in the paper, and I

559
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: was like, Wade Phillips like coach, Reggie White, like coach.

560
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 3: He just said, I'm going to be a Hall of Famer.

561
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 3: There's something about when somebody you look up to believes

562
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 3: in you, and like it's kind of like I told

563
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 3: you my parents before. When they put that they bestow

564
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 3: that upon you, you all of a sudden have no choice

565
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 3: but to become a bigger version of yourself and fulfill

566
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 3: that destiny. And so I always give Wade credit because

567
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 3: he put a belief in me that I didn't even

568
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: have myself at that time, and all I wanted to

569
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 3: do was make him right. They also told me he

570
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: stood on the table for me to get drafted here

571
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 3: on my whole career. I just wanted to prove way

572
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 3: right and make him proud of me. We and Brady

573
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 3: James was actually on the plane we were coming from

574
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: a game, and he came over to me. We were

575
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 3: just talking and he was like, it was like, Dre.

576
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 3: It was like, j jj gonna be that dude. And

577
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm like really like he was like, no, Dre.

578
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 3: He was like, Drake, he that good. And I never

579
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 3: shared that with you until now.

580
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 5: But we were coming up with I can't I can't

581
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 5: remember where we were coming from. I think it might

582
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 5: have been a preseason game or something, but it was early,

583
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 5: like in the in the year, and he we was

584
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 5: sitting on the plane and we were just talking and

585
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 5: he shared that with me, and it's it's crazy, like

586
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 5: you say, you don't know, just people having that belief

587
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 5: in you, it gives you so much confidence to you know,

588
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 5: want to accomplish.

589
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:52,360
Speaker 2: Boy.

590
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,400
Speaker 3: Brady was Brady to me was a very underrated player

591
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 3: here because he doesn't get enough credit. Brady Arry, Yeah,

592
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 3: like aid from the leaderships standpoint, b those we were

593
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 3: top two, top three defense at that time, and a

594
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: big part of it was because Brady allowed me to

595
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 3: be me so like, I'm well aware that.

596
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: I just always said that to me.

597
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 5: He was like, Drake, I will let him do him

598
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna fix whatever.

599
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: Yes, it was unbelievable and he was so selfless about it.

600
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 3: And at the same time, I had Jared Creek on

601
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,680
Speaker 3: the other side, who did the same thing. Quick knew

602
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 3: he was going to have back. He was like, I'm

603
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 3: not going to have these big sack numbers. I'm not

604
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 3: going to have anything flashy, but I'm going to push

605
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 3: the pocket on the other side. So you do what

606
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 3: you do on your side. And Brady was right behind

607
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 3: me the exact same thing. Rick, is this in the pocket.

608
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: I know damn well that quarterback is not going to

609
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 3: escape off crickside, so it's up to me to make

610
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 3: the play. But Brady was the same way. Like Brady basically,

611
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 3: he would stare at me and he'd be like, you

612
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 3: take whichever gap you want. I got the other one, right.

613
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 3: Not everybody's like that because everybody else wants their own numbers,

614
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 3: they want their own stats. But he knew that I

615
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 3: had those instincts to take that advantage and he had

616
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 3: my back and I'll never forget Brady for that. And

617
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 3: then I when I talk about Thursday dinners, I always

618
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 3: think about Brady James because he was like an older

619
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,680
Speaker 3: vet at those Thursday dinners, literally sometimes teaching me how

620
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 3: to use which fork at a steakhouse, like how to

621
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 3: order oysters, like I never ord oysters before. He teach

622
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 3: me how to eat oysters, like Antonio Smith taught me

623
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 3: how to eat sushi for the first time. Like those

624
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 3: are the things you remember, you know. He took me

625
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 3: to Cada Robata for the first time ever. I'd never

626
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,480
Speaker 3: eaten sushi before besides grocery store sushi. Now I scored

627
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: Colorabata once a week because it's my favorite restaurant in

628
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 3: the world. So like, those are the coolest things, man,

629
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 3: being at the top.

630
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 4: Worst thing about sports is the entry part, you know,

631
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 4: And obviously when you the guy that's the first time

632
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 4: you probably feel like, well you excluded, all right, they

633
00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 4: don't need me, They ain't talking to me as much.

634
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 4: Talk about that feeling, because you know, it takes to

635
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 4: be in their physition they actually understand it.

636
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: What like you almost helpless.

637
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 3: It's the worst feeling in the world, because not only

638
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: are you trying to physically heal and get yourself back,

639
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 3: but you feel like you're letting everybody down. And sometimes

640
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,360
Speaker 3: you put that weight on your shoulders when not everyone's

641
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 3: even putting it on you, you're putting it on yourself.

642
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 3: So like I'm sitting there in the training room every

643
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 3: day while you guys are at practice, and I'm thinking, man,

644
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: I make a lot of money, I make a lot

645
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 3: of plays, like I want to help this. I want

646
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 3: to do anything possible, and right now I'm just a

647
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 3: sack of potatoes sitting on this table, And every day

648
00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: I would just beat myself down, like thinking about that.

649
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 3: And it was every time a guy now gets injured,

650
00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 3: I try and talk to them and teach them that

651
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 3: that's not the mindset to have, because like it's sports, everybody,

652
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: you're going to get in if you play long enough,

653
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 3: you're going to get injured. That's just how it goes.

654
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 3: So I really try. Now one of my biggest things

655
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 3: is helping young guys understand if they get injured, the

656
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 3: mindset and the mentality of it is just as important

657
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 3: as the physical part, because that will break you down.

658
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 2: Man.

659
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 5: I've just been some very very dark days game day,

660
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 5: when you know, when they would always give us, like

661
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 5: the two minutes before we would go out for warm ups.

662
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 5: I never put my shoulder pads on. It was like,

663
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 5: receive us two minutes, you know, and we'll go out.

664
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 5: That was like my switch. What was your switch?

665
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, you were always the coolest dude

666
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 3: in the room an it literally, you could be in

667
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 3: any room in the world and you're the coolest dude

668
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 3: in it. So I was never going to try and

669
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,720
Speaker 3: compete on a cool aspect of that. But mine, It's

670
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 3: kind of funny because mine, I would always get so

671
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 3: hyped up before the game, too hyped up, way too

672
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 3: hyped up, and warm ups like jacked up. So after

673
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 3: warm ups when you come back in, before intros and

674
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 3: all that, I learned that I had to call myself down.

675
00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: So I'd go in the training room, I'd put my

676
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 3: headphones on, I'd turn on a Dell because I just

677
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 3: needed Like, I was like, dude, you got it, You're

678
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,959
Speaker 3: gonna lose all of your energy. So I go in,

679
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 3: I put on a Dell and I would just sit

680
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,320
Speaker 3: there for like five six minutes, just listen to a

681
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 3: Den and be like, all right, calm down, It's all

682
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: gonna be good. As soon as I was done with that,

683
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 3: Connor Barman taught me this trick. I go into the

684
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 3: steam room. I put my helmet on, my shoulder pads on.

685
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 3: I go into the steam room because it helped. Like

686
00:30:57,440 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 3: you know how your helmets sometimes is a little stiff

687
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 3: when you first put it on. So he taught me,

688
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 3: if you go in the steam room, everything settles into

689
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 3: your body. And it really did, and so it kind

690
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 3: of lathered me up. And like I went out there,

691
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 3: I was like, last feel like I had like a

692
00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 3: quarter under me, you know. So that's what I did.

693
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: And then I went out there and I mean the

694
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 3: crowd hits and they play turned down for watter or

695
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 3: like you make a play and then life just life

696
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 3: is good.

697
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 2: Is there anything you wish you could do over? As?

698
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 3: It takes a billion things? I always say like anybody

699
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 3: who tells you they don't have any regrets is either

700
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,320
Speaker 3: lying or the perfect person. Because there's there's plenty of

701
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 3: things that I now do. I look at some things

702
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 3: and I learned from them, I grew from them. I

703
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 3: became a better person because of them. Absolutely, But There's

704
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:42,840
Speaker 3: plenty of things I wish I would have done different,

705
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 3: and as you grow older, you have wisdom. I think

706
00:31:46,840 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 3: I could have been a better leader. I think I

707
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 3: could have been better about my injuries and my rehabs,

708
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 3: and being smarter about managing myself so that I could

709
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 3: stay on the field and be more useful. I think

710
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:02,160
Speaker 3: I could have. You always say you don't realize the

711
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: good old days until they're the good old days. Like

712
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 3: appreciating every moment and understanding when I was in it

713
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,120
Speaker 3: how special it was, and not running off after a

714
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 3: night of the Country Music Awards and like thinking you

715
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 3: have to sprint back to the weight room, like trying

716
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 3: to take it in. I do think there's a big

717
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 3: part of me that I missed out on really embracing

718
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: those moments and those memories. And I think that's probably

719
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,640
Speaker 3: the biggest thing that I would do slightly differently, is

720
00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: not not speed through it all.

721
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 2: I remember I got you to come to New Year's party.

722
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: I did.

723
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, that might have been the first time I was

724
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 5: think you came about that. I remember, like I was

725
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 5: telling my friends, I was like, man, I'm gonna get

726
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 5: jaj and they were like, man, come I'm like, if.

727
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 3: Andre tells me something, I'm gonna be there.

728
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 4: But I get it now though, like back then, I

729
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 4: wouldn't think it.

730
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 2: Like you Wisconsin.

731
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 3: Have night clubs, man, have a lot going on. No,

732
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 3: you might not remember it, but the first time you

733
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 3: ever asked me somewhere. We went to Washington Street.

734
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 5: Remember the guy yes, oh? Yeah, he wear oh. He

735
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 5: was like, do you know who? Know who the hell

736
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 5: that is? It was my rookie year and he was like,

737
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 5: let's go out. I literally like you're talking to me

738
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 5: and he was like yeah, so it's just me and Andre.

739
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 5: And I'm literally like sweating. I'm like, holy like, I'm

740
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 5: out with Andre.

741
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 3: He's like, all We're gonna go to Washington and pull

742
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 3: up on Washington like, hey, if we go to the door,

743
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 3: the door man's like, I'm sorry, sir, you can't come in.

744
00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 3: The shoes they were like all white yea. I literally

745
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 3: I was like what And he was like, he's like,

746
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 3: you can't come in, man. I go that's Andre. Johnson

747
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 3: was like that's Andren. He was like I don't care.

748
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 3: And all of a sudden, this manager came like sprinting

749
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 3: out of the back and he's like no, they're good.

750
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: They're psychopath Like we're in Houston, Texas, and you're gonna

751
00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,880
Speaker 3: tell Andre Johnson can't come in. He could be wearing

752
00:33:54,880 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 3: foot flops if he wants. Unbelievable. But I just I

753
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 3: don't think you know and appreciate what that meant to me,

754
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 3: you inviting me out as a rookie.

755
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 5: Like I was talking to g Q Globe Quinn one

756
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 5: day and he told me he said, man, he said,

757
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 5: when I was a rookie, I should be scared to

758
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 5: speak to you. And I was like why, but he

759
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 5: was like, I remember you coming up to me and

760
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 5: saying good. I think he had got like a picking

761
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 5: practice or someone day and he said I walked by

762
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 5: him and like tapped him like the job, and he

763
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 5: was like he was like that gave him like confirmation

764
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 5: of like okay, like Dreke speaking to me, and I'm like,

765
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 5: I was the most You didn't speak. I didn't speak

766
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 5: in the locker room a lot, but I was okay

767
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 5: with my teammates like.

768
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 3: Oh you you were great. But you guess the star

769
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 3: aspect of it. I think it's the superstar aspect of

770
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 3: but he's also a super But I would come j Joe.

771
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 5: I would come and sit at a locker every day

772
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 5: and with him and Kjack and we would sit down

773
00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 5: there and crack jokes every day after practice.

774
00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,400
Speaker 4: When I was with the Bengals and when we signed, like,

775
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 4: I just say nothing fatilla for a while, though you know,

776
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 4: I talked to everybody, but like, I didn't know what

777
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 4: to say at first. I don't know how you're gonna react.

778
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 4: I don't know what I just see. He got this

779
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 4: look on his face.

780
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 3: We all had that because you're up on a pedestal

781
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 3: first of all, and then you don't speak a lot

782
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,520
Speaker 3: to begin with, so you're like, I'm definitely not saying

783
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 3: the first person to us, and he's probably not going

784
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 3: to say any words to me. So you're probably like, oh,

785
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,360
Speaker 3: these guys don't talk to me that much. We're like,

786
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,960
Speaker 3: he doesn't talk to us that much. We're just like

787
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 3: ships in the night passing by. And if you if

788
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,960
Speaker 3: you tap me on the on the leg and said

789
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 3: good play, that would have been the same reaction. It's like,

790
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 3: it's just the same thing with Wade with me. You

791
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 3: did that to GQ and he probably was like, Andre

792
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 3: believes in me, So now I'm going to be like you,

793
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 3: you have that effect on everybody.

794
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:41,719
Speaker 4: Something that he wanted me here, and that's why I

795
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:43,919
Speaker 4: want tell everybody all the time. I'm like, Drake wanted

796
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:44,760
Speaker 4: me to come to Houston.

797
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: Recruited him here.

798
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: I didn't know that.

799
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 5: So we had a mutual So Fred Bennett, who played

800
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 5: corner with me and they played together in college. We

801
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 5: were at the wedding and I see j Joe and

802
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,839
Speaker 5: because we had played against each other whatever, and I

803
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 5: just went straight recruitment modes. We talked the whole week.

804
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 3: And you never met before.

805
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 5: Just across the other, yeah, but we never had like

806
00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,520
Speaker 5: met like, so I really got to know him that weekend.

807
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: Like it was lockout to wasn't Yeah, it was lockout.

808
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah and yeah, So he ended up.

809
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 5: I went and told Rick, I'm like, hey, I think

810
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 5: I gotts, you know, so.

811
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:28,760
Speaker 3: I went right, they want me to come to Houston.

812
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 2: You're involved part owner of a soccer team. How do

813
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: you get involved in that?

814
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: I needed something to give me the adrenaline. You guys know,

815
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 3: like there's nothing like game day like having that adrenaline

816
00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:46,880
Speaker 3: or having something you're working towards. And so for me,

817
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 3: I knew I wanted something to fill that void. I've

818
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 3: always been interested in the soccer world. My wife obviously

819
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:56,479
Speaker 3: played for a long time, but the European soccer game

820
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 3: really intrigued me and so I wanted to get involved

821
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 3: and I ended up finding the perfect situation and it

822
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 3: has fulfilled it to a tea because like every Saturday,

823
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 3: I got something to watch and you know, kind of

824
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 3: live and die with every kick, and you still get

825
00:37:08,840 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 3: that adrenaline, and almost more so because you're like, I

826
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 3: can't control anything, I can't make a play. I just

827
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 3: I'm hoping these guys make plays. But then in the

828
00:37:16,080 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 3: boardroom and a lot of the decisions, it's it's really

829
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 3: been enjoyable for me to learn it and to be

830
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 3: on that ownership side, to see a completely different world.

831
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 2: How often do you get to go to the game.

832
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 3: So last year I went to about ten to eleven games.

833
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,680
Speaker 3: This year I've been to three or four. So I

834
00:37:32,719 --> 00:37:35,000
Speaker 3: go over there try and yeah, trying to get over

835
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 3: like four or five times a year because I'm truly

836
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,400
Speaker 3: invested in it, like I'm I want to be in

837
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 3: I want to be deep into it so I can

838
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,560
Speaker 3: know as much as possible and also.

839
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,399
Speaker 5: Show the people that I care how is it being

840
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:48,800
Speaker 5: on TV now working with CBS.

841
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:50,279
Speaker 3: How is that? It's good?

842
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 2: Man?

843
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,600
Speaker 3: It's good. Like I love still being around ball. I

844
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:54,319
Speaker 3: love being able to talk football, Like it would be

845
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 3: very weird if I didn't have some tie to the

846
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 3: game because I love watching it, talking about it, breaking

847
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,319
Speaker 3: it down. At the same time, I have a very

848
00:38:02,360 --> 00:38:06,720
Speaker 3: difficult time criticizing guys because, like I was on the field,

849
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 3: I know, like you got a guy who breaking down

850
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 3: film and he's drawing up the plays, and you're like,

851
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,239
Speaker 3: that's not my assignment, that's not my jobs, and you

852
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,280
Speaker 3: just threw all this blame on me on national TV.

853
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 3: So I never want to be that guy. So I'm

854
00:38:17,640 --> 00:38:21,080
Speaker 3: always very careful from that standpoint. But it has been

855
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:23,879
Speaker 3: really really fun still being a part of the game.

856
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 4: Obviously you can't going because that was pre you. What's

857
00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:30,959
Speaker 4: your favorite moment of Andre Johnson then a Texas man.

858
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 3: I mean, we still need a statue of courting fingering outside,

859
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 3: Like if we don't get a statue of that, we

860
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 3: fail like that we can we can take his number

861
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 3: off of his back or taking him on, but that

862
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 3: has like we need the statue outside. I'll petition for

863
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: it to today. I'm like, we need that with me, man,

864
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 3: But I'm sorry.

865
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 5: The crazy thing I tell people all the time. I

866
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 5: think I get asked about that every day of my life.

867
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,560
Speaker 5: It's the most bad and it's crazy because I almost

868
00:39:05,560 --> 00:39:08,160
Speaker 5: get to a point to where you're just tired of

869
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 5: talking about But everybody, like they come in, they'd be like,

870
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:12,240
Speaker 5: what happened?

871
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 2: So you have to explain the story over and over and.

872
00:39:15,880 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 3: Because it's you, like everybody who knows you knows like you.

873
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: You had to do something crazy to get that out

874
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 3: of Drake, Like you would never get that. But I

875
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 3: would say, for me in my career with you, that

876
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 3: one overtime play again as Jacksonville comes to mind immediately

877
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 3: where you took that. It was like a bubble screen

878
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 3: right taking out of the house, Like that was awesome

879
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 3: for me. It was like we were talking about before.

880
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 3: It's literally the locker room, like walking around the locker room,

881
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 3: walking around practice, walking around. I grew up as a

882
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 3: Miami fan. I don't know why because they were awesome

883
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,160
Speaker 3: when I was a kid, but like it truthfully was

884
00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:55,839
Speaker 3: like seeing you in our locker room, knowing that I

885
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,880
Speaker 3: was on the same team, knowing that we were teammates

886
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 3: and like buddies. To me, that was cooler than any

887
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 3: play on the field, just knowing that I was fortunate

888
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 3: enough to be able to play.

889
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 2: What is the most thing you get asked as by fans?

890
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 3: The first thing comes to mind is just selfie's an autograph,

891
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:13,439
Speaker 3: because obviously that's I mean, it's it's daily lately, which

892
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 3: has been a transition, which is interesting. There's a lot

893
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 3: of people obviously asking about my brother now or sometimes

894
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 3: people be like are you teaching?

895
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:20,279
Speaker 2: And they ain't out a.

896
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:26,319
Speaker 3: Second, I'm not ready for that, man, like, which is good,

897
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 3: but no, I around here it's been They ask about

898
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 3: the Charity Classic a lot are we going to do it?

899
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 3: Are we not? And no, I would say that was

900
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 3: always uh, you got you guys have made it great.

901
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,399
Speaker 3: And then a lot about the hurricane, like there's there's

902
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,279
Speaker 3: been a lot of people who have just they just

903
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 3: come up and let's say thank you, and I try

904
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 3: and tell them like it was everybody else. Man, I'll

905
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 3: never forget that for the rest of my life, the

906
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 3: way so many different people stepped up and help.

907
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 5: What is it like, man, to actually, now that you're

908
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 5: not playing anymore, to sit and just watch that you're

909
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:03,480
Speaker 5: a brother and a type of player he is in

910
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 5: the NFL.

911
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 3: First of all, I'm proud, like it's I'm so proud

912
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 3: to have watched both of them, to watch Derek player,

913
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 3: to watch TJ play, But for TJ especially because we

914
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 3: play a very similar position and we're wired so similarly.

915
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 3: As I watch the game, it's like I'm watching myself,

916
00:41:19,920 --> 00:41:22,880
Speaker 3: and so I can put myself in those situations. I

917
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:25,680
Speaker 3: can kind of think what he's thinking. So immediately after

918
00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 3: the game, we're talking and I'm like, what this play?

919
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 3: Were you thinking this? And yeah, I was thinking that,

920
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 3: Or He'll be like I was thinking about possibly using

921
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 3: this move, And so how lucky are we that we

922
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 3: get to have these conversations at the highest level of

923
00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:41,880
Speaker 3: the game that nobody else ever gets to have, Like

924
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 3: it's to us, it's the coolest thing in the world

925
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,800
Speaker 3: that my brother calls me and asks about an NFL

926
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 3: pass rush move because we both got to do it

927
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 3: at this level. It's it's really really cool, man. And

928
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 3: I've always said it, but I truthfully hope he breaks

929
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 3: every single record I've ever had, and I think he

930
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 3: probably will. But if we're talking about a single year. Ever,

931
00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 3: he's gonna have the better career. He's gonna have a

932
00:42:07,480 --> 00:42:09,920
Speaker 3: better career, but there's a four year stretch where he

933
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 3: couldn't stamp it. You're talking about cool, How cool is it?

934
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:16,759
Speaker 2: You know?

935
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 4: Obviously we growing up, we got to see like Reggie

936
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 4: White and all those guys on the Chunky suit commercials

937
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:20,960
Speaker 4: all that.

938
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 2: How cool is it? They have your mom and daddy commercially.

939
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 3: It's cool, man, It's cool. It's it's a lot of fun.

940
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 3: The most fun about those is filming him because, like

941
00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 3: you know, how it is, brothers and sisters, Like nobody

942
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,239
Speaker 3: rags on you like your family. So we get into

943
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 3: a commercial shooting and we get all of us there

944
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 3: and my dad flubs a line and we just all

945
00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 3: over him. Man, they're like my brother flubs the line,

946
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 3: and the outtakes are the best part. So, like I said,

947
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 3: we're living life experiences that people only dream about. And

948
00:42:47,520 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 3: we know how lucky we're. We're so thankful, so anytime

949
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 3: they come along, we just try and appreciate it.

950
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:54,840
Speaker 2: The ring of honor.

951
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 5: Tell me what that moment was like, man, because I

952
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:03,000
Speaker 5: remember and on the field with you, and you know,

953
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 5: you seem to like I could tell it got to

954
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 5: you a little bit. You know, it's definitely because it

955
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 5: gives you. I always tell people it gives you a

956
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 5: time to reflect on what you've accomplished throughout your career.

957
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 2: Tell me about that moment.

958
00:43:19,200 --> 00:43:21,040
Speaker 5: I remember sitting on the field with you and you

959
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 5: seem like it kind of yeah.

960
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 3: I mean, that was my first time being back in

961
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 3: the stadium since I had left on a game day,

962
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 3: So there were a ton of emotions just from that

963
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 3: standpoint alone, before even myself thinking about what the Ring

964
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 3: of Honor and everything meant. So walking back into the

965
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:42,439
Speaker 3: stadium and seeing the fans and seeing the field laid down,

966
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,840
Speaker 3: and adrenaline and the emotions, like it all comes back

967
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 3: and you're just like, damn, this is it, man, Like

968
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 3: this this is what I love and this is what

969
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 3: I miss. And then you see your name up in

970
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 3: the Ring of Honor next to you and mister McNair,

971
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,279
Speaker 3: and you think about how that's gonna be there.

00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 1: Forever, Yes, sir, that name is gonna be in the

973
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: rafters forever. Jay J.

00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 3: Watt Man.

975
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,440
Speaker 1: That was a really fun goat talk between JJ, the guest,

976
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: and the hosts Andre Johnson and Jonathan Joseph. Okay, we

977

00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: prospects for this draft. We'll have their numbers retired at

979
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: Colorado over the weekend. M interesting, we'll discuss next the

980
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 1: Texans All Access. We go on final segment this Tuesday

981
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: edition of Texans All Access. Sean Harris, your host, Salo

982
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:39,840
Speaker 1: reporter Amphibl anals for your Houston Texans getting ready for

983
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 1: the draft. Obviously, So the draft is always well, it's

984
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:46,319
Speaker 1: at the forefront of my mind pretty much, twenty four

985
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,279
Speaker 1: to seven, three sixty five, especially at this.

986
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 3: Time of year.

987
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: So news from some prospects at the University of Colorado.

988
00:44:55,640 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: Travis Hunter and Sneer Sanders will have their numbers Retiredumber

989
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 1: twelve and number two, respectively. And I think this is

990
00:45:03,560 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: one of the dumbest things that I have seen. As

991
00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 1: John mcclan would say, this is one of the dumbest

992
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: things I've ever seen. It's ridiculous. Shaduor wasn't even All American.

993
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: He's first team All Big twelve and he's Offensive Player

994
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 1: of the Year into Big Twelve. Great, they won thirteen

995
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 1: games together. That's it. This is absolutely the most asinine

996
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: thing I've ever seen in my life. There are schools

997
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:31,200
Speaker 1: that you have a formula. University of North Carolina basketball,

998
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,800
Speaker 1: they have a formula for guys that get their jerseys

999
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: up in the rafters and you gotta be I think

1000
00:45:37,320 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: it's you gotta be All American on three the different services,

1001
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: or you have to be acc Player of the Year,

1002
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,320
Speaker 1: something along those lines. You get your jersey. They're afters.

1003
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 1: There's a formula for it. Colorado's four jerseys retired four.

1004
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: They're guys like Eric Bienemy who are instrumental in a

1005
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:59,399
Speaker 1: national championship run, Darian Hagen instrumental in national championship run.

1006
00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 1: Alfred william Was I think, a two time All American

1007
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 1: from Age Town on that national championship team. There are

1008
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 1: dudes that absolutely should have their numbers retired. Not this guy, Travis,

1009
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 1: you can maybe convince me, but SNR Sanders number in time.

1010
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 1: This is the dumbest thing I've ever ever seen. And

1011
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 1: if you're gonna do it, make him wait. They want

1012
00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 1: thirteen flipping games. That's it. It's the I've been listening

1013
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: to this story all day and it's driven me absolutely crazy,

1014
00:46:36,280 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: absolutely the nuts. And you see teams, like I said,

1015
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: that have a formula. I don't know what the formula

1016
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 1: is in Colorado. I don't know whose idea this was,

1017
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: but it's I don't even care if it's Prime. And

1018
00:46:49,239 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 1: you guys know, I like Prime. I like Prime as

1019
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 1: a coach. There's some things that he does. It drives

1020
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: me crazy, but I think he's got common old school

1021
00:46:57,080 --> 00:47:00,400
Speaker 1: nature to him. I sure hope that he's not the

1022
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: one behind us because that just doesn't speak to how

1023
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 1: a coach told handle things. So next year's quarterback Julian

1024
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:12,240
Speaker 1: Lewis ends up being fresh all American? Is his number

1025
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 1: retired before the seasons even over? Don't I don't. I

1026
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: just I'm dumb founded to say the least. But two

1027
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,400
Speaker 1: former Texans are five found well. One is found a

1028
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 1: new home, Max Sharpening when you signed with the Steelers.

1029
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 1: But Ross Blacklock, he of Elkins High School TCU, was

1030
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:31,960
Speaker 1: a textas second round pick a twenty twenty. He has

1031
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:34,759
Speaker 1: been released by the New York Giants. All right, that's

1032
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: it for the show. Appreciate JJ Watt, Andre Johnson, and

1033
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:41,360
Speaker 1: Jonathan Joseph for their go talk. It was awesome. Appreciate

1034
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,040
Speaker 1: all you guys. Love y'all, we'll see you tomorrow and

1035
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: as always, go Texans.
