Those moments where you 169 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 1: know one of your parents was not around for an 170 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 1: extended period of time. 171 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 4: It was one of those things for me where I 172 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 4: just whatever I wanted to do, I tried to always 173 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,280 Speaker 4: put my mind to it so I could be better than. 174 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 3: Him, you know what I mean. 175 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,200 Speaker 4: So that's that's probably the reason why even on the field, 176 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: I try to be so precise with certain things, and 177 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 4: I don't really like to make a lot of mistakes 178 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 4: because I'm my own self critic and just I think 179 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 4: that's one of the main discipline things that I got 180 00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 4: from that is just knowing that he over there makes 181 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 4: whatever sacrifice, so the least that I can do is 182 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 4: trying to be perfect. And most of the things that 183 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 4: I do in life. 184 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: And growing up the way you did, like a lot 185 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: of us going pro in sports, especially the way we 186 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: move around and things like that isn't really a reality, right. 187 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: We don't know a lot of people that grew up 188 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 1: military that made it pro, that made it to a 189 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: high level in college because a lot of times you 190 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: don't get all of those resources opportunities. What is that 191 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: pride like where you talk about your peach State pride, 192 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 1: but you also have pride of somebody that has made 193 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: it through what a lot of people don't realize it 194 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: is a really tough battle growing up as a military kid. 195 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 4: I mean, I definitely take all of that into the 196 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 4: hard work that was behind the scenes, because yeah, it 197 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 4: was definitely really hard just coming from a military background 198 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 4: and not really having the same opportunities as most civilian kids. 199 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: And it was just, you know. 200 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 4: I had got a quote when I was younger, and 201 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 4: I kind of just stuck with it throughout life is 202 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 4: you can't have a million dollar dream with a minimum 203 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:49,479 Speaker 4: wage work ethic. And I also said it to my 204 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 4: high school before I left, and it was just something 205 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 4: that I took he to just realize, like if I 206 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 4: wanted to even get this far and not just to 207 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 4: get this far, like I'm gonna have to work at it, 208 00:06:58,480 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 4: you know what I mean. 209 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, for sure, And it's something that you've also 210 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: taken pride in showing other kids what they can do, 211 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,120 Speaker 1: Like you just went to I think this past summer 212 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: you went to a military base. You held camp for 213 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: only military kids. Like sounds a little crazy, but like 214 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: for a military kid like I would have loved to 215 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: have an opportunity like that, and we didn't really like 216 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of people that go out of 217 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: their way to do that just for military kids. How 218 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: cool was that? Why was that so important? Talk about 219 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 1: that a little bit, Yeah it was.

You got to make sure 330 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:18,000 Speaker 4: that you're precise on the pit stop because the quicker 331 00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 4: you get him out, the quicker he can get back. 332 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 3: Onto the track to do what he needs to do. 333 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 4: So it's simple things like that that you know, it 334 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 4: has its different parallels where you know, everybody got to 335 00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 4: be on point or whatever they're supposed to do to 336 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 4: get the job done. 337 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 1: Well, whatever it is that you're doing, man, keep doing it, because, man, 338 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 1: you have looked very impressive this season, especially we talk 339 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: about your interception. Let's talk about this defense a little bit. 340 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 1: Now we're three and three, we got that win. Do 341 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,719 Speaker 1: you feel this defense is starting to come into their own? 342 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 343 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 4: I mean it was one of those things for us 344 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 4: where like I said before, backs against the wall, we 345 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 4: never gonna fold at the end of the day. We're 346 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 4: not gonna really worry about what the outside people got 347 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: to say about what we got going on in our 348 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 4: locker room, and we just gonna always play to our 349 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 4: standing at the end of the day, continue to play fast, 350 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 4: fly around, and make whatever plays we need to make. 351 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 1: This coaching staff particularly spoke very highly of you. They're 352 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: behind you quite a lot. What is it like playing 353 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: for this coaching staff and this defense, especially coach del 354 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: Rio saw him out there after you got his meeting. 355 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: What has it been like playing and learning from these guys? 356 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 3: Nothing short of a blessing. 357 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,480 Speaker 4: I mean, it's really good having guys that played in 358 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 4: your position where you can go back and ask them 359 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 4: what do they see on this particular play or if 360 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 4: it's something that I'm struggling on, Like you know what 361 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 4: I'm saying, just asking them different things that I can 362 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 4: try to get myself one step ahead of the game on. 363 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 4: So it's really beneficial as well. So like just going forward, 364 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 4: I'm just gonna always take heap to what they're saying. 365 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: And then last question for you, second to last question, 366 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: got the interceptions. That's your hometown stadium, right, I mean, 367 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: that's your hometown stadium. You make a play like that 368 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 1: in front of your hometown. 369 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 2: What did it feel? 370 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it wasn't for the foul because it 371 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: was against them, but how did it feel to do 372 00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: that back home? 373 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 4: It was pretty great, man, just because back then it 374 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 4: was a Georgia Dome at the time, and I always 375 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 4: used to say, like when I did go to Atlanta 376 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 4: that I wanted to play in there, but to grow 377 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 4: up and actually play like that, And there was honestly 378 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 4: a weight lifted off my shoulders because I wanted to 379 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 4: get an interception, but I didn't expect it to actually 380 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 4: happen in that particular state. 381 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 3: So yeah, it was pretty cool.
