21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: So it's funny because as you guys can see, we

22
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: are in a different room than the studio.

23
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: You know, we're getting some new things changed. But imagine last.

24
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 1: Time you will hear you were signing your contract right, yeah,

25
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: sitting right over there.

00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, take it. Are but in in to the papers?

00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

28
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: And then right after that you came to the studio

29
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: and me and you had our interview when we sat

30
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 1: and talked and you had just getting your feet wet

31
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: in the DMV man, I mean you had just got here.

32
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:21,199
Speaker 1: So how has it been justin since?

33
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, when we first talked, I don't I didn't have

34
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 3: enough time to really appreciate the area or the culture.

35
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,279
Speaker 3: But been around a little bit, been to a community event,

36
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 3: been around some of the fans as well at our

37
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 3: home game now the preseason, so looking forward to to

38
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 3: more of that during the season. Been down to DC

39
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 3: a little bit as well, feeling the love from the community,

40
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 3: taking a few pictures with fans. So I'm starting to

41
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 3: feel what people are talking about. And they're like, Oh,

42
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 3: you're gonna love it out here because everyone that we've

43
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 3: talked to, My wife's in the room as well, in

44
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: the background for those of you who can't see it,

45
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: They're like.

46
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: Oh, you're gonna love the East Coast. You're gonna love DC.

47
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: It's really clean, like a lot of history, great food,

48
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: and it's definitely been that, so it's growing on us.

49
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: This is definitely the best place to be on the

50
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 1: East Coast. Now people will say it might be the South.

51
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't feel that way.

52
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: I feel like this is the East just like you do.

53
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: But this is definitely a great place to be. Mess.

54
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: We're happy you're getting acclimated in, you know, the next

55
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 1: man up. We talk extras and those, but we talk

56
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: a lot about the player behind the helmet. But before

57
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: we do that, you mentioned preseason. Yeah, you cause a

58
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: little trouble. I don't know if you really you caused

59
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: a little trouble what we did want. So we are

60
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: doing our sidelines what me and you are doing our

61
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: sideline interview, and I asked you about Jayden and how

62
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: he was in the huddle in the pocket, and you revealed,

63
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: because nobody else knew this, that Jayden checked out of

64
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: a screenplay to make that.

65
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: To them, I gave away too much, gave away so good.

66
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 2: So I was gonna ask, did you get any heat

67
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,679
Speaker 2: for that? But clearly you didn't hear about it. No,

68
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: I didn't hear about that.

69
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: Well, but I tell you, I mean I didn't get

70
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: no heat about it either. I was just making sure

71
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: we were good. Okay, that's all me. That's how I

72
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:46,639
Speaker 3: think we're good. Yeah, No, I mean, don't worry.

73
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: We changed, We changed our plays, we changed our signals.

74
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 2: That's what it is. We got you anyway.

75
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I think that was a great moment and

76
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: great insight because it would allow Dan Quinn allowed Jayden

77
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: to talk about that moment and not a lot of

78
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: rookies are going to check out us something their first

79
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: NFL drive. Jayden did, then, I think that encompasses what

80
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: we've seen from Jaden. You talk a little bit about

81
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: what you've seen from not only that one Precon games.

82
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: I was the last time we talked, but since Yeah,

83
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 3: something that I appreciate, you know about just any quarterback

84
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: coming in is really the communication.

85
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 2: I want to see the communication be alive.

86
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: And that tells me a few things actually, But first

87
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: of all, it tells me, Okay, you care enough to

88
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: come and be on the same page with me, and

89
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: you you want to see that that connection happen, and

90
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: you're going out of your way to make it happen.

91
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: And what also tells me, because he's a rookie, is

92
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 3: that he wants to step into that leadership role as well,

93
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 3: because he doesn't have to do that. He could easily

94
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: behind hide behind the rookie. Oh I don't know, Like

95
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: I'm just going to kind of, you know, let things

96
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 3: come to me. He's the one that actually out there

97
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: making it happen, right, stepping up as a leader.

98
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 2: To go and communicate. So I love that about him.

99
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: And then as far as just his mentality of being

100
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: on the field, wants to continue to compete, you know,

101
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: we gotta get this.

102
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: Guy to slide, you know, things like that.

103
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: You know, he's learned be a pro, and so it's like, yeah,

104
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 3: we love that fire in him, you know, and so

105
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: he'll continue to learn, like I mentioned, how to be

106
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 3: a pro and just continue to progress down this path.

107
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 3: And the trajectory that he's going down is a pretty

108
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 3: steep one right now. So I'm looking to see him

109
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: continue to grow exponentially.

110
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: And he recently was named the starter.

111
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: What was that first conversation, like when you found out

112
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: he was going to be your starting quarterback?

113
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,239
Speaker 2: I'm sure you had an idea, but yeah, got that official.

114
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 3: You know how this league works, man, If you get

115
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 3: drafted second overall, Heisman you're you're expected to be in

116
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 3: that role. Man, So it doesn't mean you're gonna get

117
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 3: that role. Like, you still got to go out there

118
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: and earn it. Like, don't get me wrong, Like you

119
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: don't just come in and walk in and get a spot.

120
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: You got to make sure that you check the boxes

121
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 3: saying yep, okay, he did that. He was a leader,

122
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: He made good decisions, he did all the things he

123
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: needed to do, and that's exactly what he came in

124
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 3: and has done. And so he still has a long

125
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 3: way to go. Just because quarterback. I've been around some

126
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 3: of the greats, been around Philip Rivers who had been

127
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 3: there year seventeen, and I've seen what a true veteran

128
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 3: quarterback with that many years of experience looks like. Also

129
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 3: been around Jay Herb you know, out in LA and

130
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 3: see him grow into you know, for four years we

131
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: played together. And so I Jayden's on the right track

132
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: based off of what I've seen from those other guys.

133
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: And we know you're gonna help to being here.

134
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: And like I said, we'll talk football a little bit,

135
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: but I want to talk about the man behind the helmet,

136
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,599
Speaker 1: because there's a lot of layers to you there's.

137
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,359
Speaker 2: A lot of layers to me.

138
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 3: I had a coach tell me one time that I'm

139
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: probably the most unique person in the in the NFL.

140
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: That's a great compliment to have because there's a lot

141
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 2: of personalities. There's a lot, there's a lot.

142
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: I mean, dude, you're you're an investor, you're a gamer,

143
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: you're a businessman, you're a husband, you're all of these things.

144
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,320

00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: Been in the same place for a long amount of

159
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 3: time now, and it's been it's been great.

160
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 2: So far.

Speaker 1: Hey man, congratulations, appreciate that. And that's beautiful that I

162
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: can see how she loves you and supports you. And

163
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: so she's a dancer.

164
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 3: Indeed, she's a dancer, very talented dancer, very very talented dancer,

165
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 3: tap dance, ballet, jazz, hip hop, anything you name it,

166
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: she got it.

167
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: What about you? You cut a rug a little bit. I

168
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: cannot cut it. I am very stiff.

169
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 4: You know.

170
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: You know, I got a little rhythm sometimes, but it's

171
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: in spurts. She says, she's a dancer, So I'm gonna

172
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: take a work for in spurts. Though in spurts it's

173
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: not maintained. You know, you know, everyone's got like a

174
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: move or something. You know you're feeling.

175
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: I got a little too stiff, little movie, got a

176
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: little little hot little job.

177
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: So with the wedding, right, like we know that there's

178
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: that that first dance, that first moment. Yeah, marrying an

179
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: actual legitimate dancer, did you have to learn like a

180
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: whole choreograph thing?

181
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: Like what was that? Absolutely? So you know for us

182
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,839
Speaker 2: we choreographed something.

183
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 3: It was very basic, like there was some traditional dancing

184
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 3: in there. But then when the chorus would come we'd

185
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 3: have like our little routine that we do just to

186
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 3: put a little flair on it, okay, and the flares

187
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 3: continue to get a little bit bigger and bigger. But

188
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 3: it was it was just enough for me where I

189
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: was able. I was able to.

190
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: Wrap my head around it and actually nail it. It

191
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: wasn't too technical, man. I wish hopefully.

192
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: I know you're not going too but I would love

193
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: for you to send me that video so I can

194
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: watch it because I'm sure you did a great job.

195
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: And the way she's small and supporting you, man, that

196
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: is a beautiful thing. So again, congratulations on that business now. Yeah,

197
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 1: because the husband, you know, that's the most important thing.

198
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: But now you have a businessman as well. Tell us

199
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: about that. Man, You do so many different things, not

200
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: just for yourself, but you also work to inspire other

201
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 1: athletes and other people to get into business.

202
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: Tell us all about it, man.

203
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, for myself, you know, my journey to the NFL

204
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: and I that conversation that I had with that coach

205
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 3: where they told me I was really unique is because

206
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 3: for me, I wasn't really aspiring to be in the

207
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 3: NFL like that wasn't like my north star. Yeah, and

208
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 3: that's because I came from a really, really small town

209
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 3: and was grew up in the cowboy life. You know,

210
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 3: have ridden bulls in my life, riding horses like that's

211
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 3: me in the cowboy hat, like that was me out

212
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 3: there in the cowboy life. And then got into some

213
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: traditional sports, but continued to progress through that and then

214
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 3: you know, found a love for football. That was my

215
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 3: best sport. Didn't have any Division one offers or anything

216
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: like that. I grew up around around entrepreneurs. I grew

217
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 3: up building barbier fence in the summers, and if you

218
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 3: know anything about manual labor, it's not fun, you know,

219
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 3: especially out in the summer. Barbarier fence will definitely teach

220
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 3: you how to work hard. And so that's that was

221
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: a blessing in disguise. You know, hated every minute of it,

222
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: but definitely learned how to work. And that mindset has

223
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 3: stayed with me ever since, even still to this day.

224
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 3: And so going into college, as I mentioned, I didn't

225
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 3: have any Division one offers, went to a small school.

226
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: So my anticipation for me in the future was, Okay,

227
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to get some type of degree and

228
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 3: use my mind to get my next opportunity. And so

229
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 3: I really focused on my education and also really took

230
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: football seriously because I did have a small scholarship and

231
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 3: that a Division two, you don't get a full ride, right,

232
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 3: and so to increase your scholarship, you got to continue

233
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: to get all conference, all Americans. So I'm hyper locked

234
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 3: in on football and my education. And that was what

235
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: it was for me growing up, and that's kind of

236
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 3: what has continued to progress me forward into different businesses

237
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: and things like that, because that's I've always had a

238
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:21,880
Speaker 3: passion for it.

239
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: And I mean, you've seen so much success in nfol

240
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: Yes they maybe that wasn't your initial dream, but you

241
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: made it.

242
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 2: You have this success.

243
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 3: So let's talk about that. Yeah, because you know, going

244
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: into college, you know, I start my first year. I

245
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 3: actually left the day I graduated, Like I threw my

246
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 3: hat up in there, and I'm like, I'm going to

247
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: get acclimated to this team.

248
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: I'm going to go dedicate myself.

249
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna get up there in the summer and I'm

250
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 3: gonna start going to work like I'm ready to work,

251
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: Like let me get myself going, let me get my opportunity,

252
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 3: let me get my life on its feet and start

253
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: pushing it forward. And for me, it was like, Okay,

254
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,439
Speaker 3: football is the first thing I can get into. School

255
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 3: doesn't start until the fall, but it's the summertime. So

256
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 3: I'm up there working out. I got myself a summer job.

257
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 3: I was a rat guy taken down. You know, you

258
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:01,839
Speaker 3: want to go down the guns from river, I could

259
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 3: take you down the river winnaissance.

260
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 2: Man, That's what it was at the time. Man, you

261
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 2: don't have to get it how you live it, you know.

262
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 3: So I had to pay rent somehow, and I was

263
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 3: up in the mountains, and so I'm doing that and

264
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 3: I'm one of the strongest guys on the team already

265
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 3: already lived in the weight room before then.

266
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: Like that was my passion.

267
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 3: That was my getaway, and that was my therapy, was

268
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 3: getting in the weight room. And my work ethic just

269
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 3: because of the upbringing that I had was a lot

270
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 3: different than the guys around me.

271
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 2: Like for me, this it.

272
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 3: Wasn't just playing football, Like I'm not just playing football

273
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 3: like this, this is my life in my hands right

274
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 3: here right Like for me, this is the opportunity that's

275
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 3: going to bring me to the next one.

276
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: So I can't let this slide. I can't just go

277
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 2: about this casually. It's not casual.

278
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: There's so much that rides on this for me to

279
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: have some type of success, because that's going to show

280
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 3: and project the magnitude of my next opportunity.

281
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: I didn't know if it was gonna be in the NFL.

282
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 3: I thought I was going to be in the business route,

283
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 3: so I wanted to make sure I didn't have a

284
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 3: ton of debt coming out. So I want to continue

285
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 3: to increase my scholarship, so I'm locked in school finally starts.

286
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 3: I'm locked in making sure I'm getting good grades, all

287
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: of that stuff as well. And then you know, my

288
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: freshman year, there's only three seniors on the team, so

289
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: leadership was terrible.

290
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: Seniors had left or transferred out or quit.

291
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: And I remember my freshman year, our first away game,

292
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 3: we go on the on the road and everyone's messing

293
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: around talking during meetings, on their phone during meetings, and

294
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 3: our offensive ordinary gets up and he's like, hey, man,

295
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 3: does does anyone have anything to say?

296
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: And I was I came from a.

297
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: Culture we never lost, We didn't lose games, you know,

298
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: And like I said, this is more than just football

299
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: to me. And so I was like, I got to

300
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 3: say something, you know, and I wasn't really a leader

301
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 3: at that time, but I got up in front of him.

302
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: I hey, coach, I got something. I remember my voice

303
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: just trembling because I'm so nervous. But I cared so much,

304
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 3: and I'm like, you guys are treating this like a vacation.

305
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 3: This is some bullshit, like we need to be locked in.

306
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 3: We're here, we're on a business trip, you know. And

307
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 3: it didn't come out as as smooth as that, right,

308
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: because I'm trembling, you know, like nervous. I'm starting to

309
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 3: get to your eye because I cared so muchy since

310
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,959
Speaker 3: you know, I'm eighteen up there, I got some twenty

311
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: year olds of the room. I'm the young guy, and

312
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: ever since then, I was a captain. But then, like

313
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 3: I just my emotion played into it so much because

314
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: that was the intensity that our rot to the things

315
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 3: that I'm involved in. And it was no different for

316
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 3: my business side as well, as I continued to build,

317
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: you know, in the real estate. That was my first passion.

318
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 3: That was my first thing that I was learning about.

319
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 3: I was going to get into oil and gas.

320
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,080
Speaker 2: That's what I went to school for. Energy management.

321
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 3: I was going to use capital from that to get

322
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 3: into to get into real estate and start house hacking

323
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 3: and start house flipping and get into a real estate portfolio.

324
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: So that was plan A. I was Plan A.

325
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 3: That was Plan A. I was planning, not a bad

326
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: plan B or C being an Well, you know, the

327
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 3: NFL wasn't planned B. It just wasn't necessarily in the

328
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: plans at all. Right, it was like, okay, yeah, that

329
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: would be great if that happened.

330
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 2: But I'm knowing for my school has ever gone the NFL.

331
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 1: So you're trying to use logic to plan out your

332
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: life as any man is.

333
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,719
Speaker 3: Right, thinking of, okay, what's what's a path that if

334
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 3: I do well, I can see the most success at

335
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: the earliest age for myself.

336
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: And I had never been around the atmosphere around NFL professional

337
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 2: sports at all.

338
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 3: And so after my junior year, well, I had great

339
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,360
Speaker 3: year my freshman year, you know, Freshman of the year,

340
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 3: great sophomore year.

341
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: Like there we were. We were terrible. We were terrible.

342
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,560
Speaker 3: We want two games my freshman year, four games, four games,

343
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: and seven games my senior year. But I still average

344
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 3: two hundred yards a game and two touchdowns, right, And

345
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 3: so I'm I'm out here dominating.

346
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: You're getting dominating.

347
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 3: And after my junior year, my coach comes to me

348
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 3: and he's like, hey, man, like you have some NFL

349
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 3: scouts asking about you.

350
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 2: I'm like, what the heck like NFL scouts. I'm blown.

351
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: I'm like, these are like mythical beings to me, right,

352
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 3: Like you mean NFL scouts, Like they're calling, they're calling

353
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:30,559
Speaker 3: up to Western.

354
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 2: You know, I've never seen one on campus before.

355
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: And sure enough, after my senior year, they're on campus

356
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 3: and they're watching me practice. And then it became real

357
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 3: for me, Like okay, like this is a real opportunity

358
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: for me. But you know, all throughout my my college career,

359
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 3: like I lived in the gym, I do our morning

360
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 3: weight room. We're a team with the team, and then

361
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: there's like three of us that after weights and after

362
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 3: study hall and after school and everything, we'd be back

363
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: in the gym and we're, you know, we're just being guys,

364
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: you know, pushing each other.

365
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 2: You know, you gotta get your bigger you know, you can't.

366
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,280
Speaker 3: Do that, you know, just just testostero boosting.

367
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.

368
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 3: And so that was what we did, and that's how

369
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 3: I continue to get really strong and stay really fit

370
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: in shape. And that was the mentality a year round.

371
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 3: And when you're around that type of energy of just

372
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 3: push better. It got to be better, it got to

373
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 3: be better. Then it just brings in with the mentality

374
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 3: of myself that this is not just a game. This

375
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 3: is way more than that, Like you immerse yourself into it,

376
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 3: you know, and it's more survival instinct because it's not

377
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: just I'm just doing this because it's fun and I

378
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 3: want an opportunity. It's like, no, this is my life

379
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 3: that's on the line. I got to get it done.

380
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 3: And that continued to stay with me as I got

381
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 3: into the to the league as well. So, like I mentioned,

382
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: it wasn't that the NFL's Plan B. It just wasn't

383
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 3: in the plans. Until about my junior year it was like, okay,

384
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 3: now that's Plan A because that's the bigger opportunity. Now

385
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 3: that's on the table, and it's exactly how I treated it.

386
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 3: And so for me it was okay, if this is

387
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: a real thing. I finished my senior year, had another

388
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 3: great year, was like one hundred ninety yards a game. Again,

389
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 3: it was all right, I'm gonna drop out. I'm just

390
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 3: gonna go for it. I'm gonna go for it.

391
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm gonna take the semester off.

392
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna go train because if this is really

393
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 3: something that's an opportunity for me, I'm putting every ounce

394
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: of my energy into it, so that at the end

395
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,600
Speaker 3: of the day, I can say that was everything. That

396
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:15,880
Speaker 3: was everything you could have got for me.

397
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: And that's clearly your personality. Your work ethic is everything

398
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: to you. Right, You're gonna put everything into the main task.

399
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: So with being an NFL player, you end up becoming

400
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: one of the best to ever do it at your position.

401
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: How do you stay that locked in on the NFL

402
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 1: but still do all of these other things that you're

403
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: also locked into.

404
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: How how do you jumble to Yeah, So that's kind

405
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: of the blessing and the curse almost because I've been

406
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: building myself the way I've been building myself it was

407
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: business first. I still have built up my capabilities to

408
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 3: be able to pursue things in the business world as

409
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: far as my understanding of real estate. That was really

410
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 3: where I first started. And so after I played my

411
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: rookie year of NFL had some capital.

412
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: I had already had.

413
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 3: Plans to start getting into real estate through my business route.

414
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: Now I had an earlier capital than I was expected.

415
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 3: So now I started getting into some house hacking, started

416
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 3: buying multi family houses back in Colorado and built up

417
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 3: a portfolio there and started to build relationships.

418
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 2: If you've heard anything about.

419
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: Business, you know relationships are huge in business, and so

420
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 3: I was already starting to accumulate these relationships even before

421
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 3: I got into the NFL, And so once I got

422
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 3: into the NFL, it just gave me more capital right away.

423
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 2: So now I'm able to deploy even more than I

424
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: thought I was.

425
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 3: Going to be able to, and really started to build

426
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 3: a portfolio of real estate in Colorado, and that just

427
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 3: continued to feed my ability to learn and my capabilities

428
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: to expand, and.

429
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: So continued to do that.

430
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: Then started my first real estate fund, and we bought

431
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:40,120
Speaker 3: a big portfolio out in Kansas City, Missouri. Moved a

432
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: few house hacking crews or house flipping crews out there,

433
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 3: about four of them, and we were flipping some houses

434
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 3: ten thirty one and some saving some as well and

435
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 3: keeping them in the portfolio.

436
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 2: And now we're looking at Alabama.

437
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,239
Speaker 3: And so what the theme of it is, I've continued

438
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 3: to expand the capabilities that I have by not only

439
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: increasing my knowledge, but also supplying supplementing myself with team

440
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 3: members that I can trust and put in place to

441
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 3: help me build these portfolios up.

442
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: And this is all while trying to make it infol rosters,

443
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 1: were trying to build a career, because again, you went undrafted.

444
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 2: This isn't the.

445
00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: First round guy that just has all the time in

446
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: this world. It's not somebody that just knows they're going

447
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: to be a starter. You're doing all of this while

448
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: still trying to make this dream come true.

449
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 2: And so that's why I say it's a blessing and

450
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: a curse.

451
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 3: Blessing because it allows me to have some type of

452
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 3: experience and a lot of different industries and actually go

453
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 3: and actually move and actually deploy in those industries. But

454
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 3: also a curse because I am I'm so just locked

455
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 3: in on building things because I'm obsessed with it.

456
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 2: Like that is who I am.

457
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 3: Like I see an opportunity, I want to build around

458
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,600
Speaker 3: that because I know that it can it's going to

459
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: be an opportunity for me to progress my life, to

460
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 3: find fulfillment with that, and I want to continue to

461
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 3: expand you know, they see I'm not sure at one

462
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 3: percent better every day, like how can We continued to

463
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 3: compound interest in different ways, and so real estate was

464
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: the first one. Then started getting into the NFL and

465
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,240
Speaker 3: started to build a community, and so I started doing streams.

466
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: I built a company called Gridiron Gaming Group. We did

467
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: a bunch of it was basically a bunch of athletes

468
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 3: and entertainers I put together in a group and we

469
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,920
Speaker 3: would like do things around the super Bowl and around

470
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 3: the Indy five hundred. We have a driver in there.

471
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: We did stuff around. We had Alisha Gray from you know,

472
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,679
Speaker 3: the w W NBA. She went the Olympics, and so

473
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 3: we had a good crew in there. Did a bunch

474
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 3: of stuff in the streaming world. Learned some stuff from that.

475
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:35,440
Speaker 3: Then I got into tech from that because I realized

476
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 3: how hard it is for athletes to really set up

477
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 3: their own tech or do fan engagement. So now I've

478
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 3: started an app as well, and then I've done I've

479
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 3: done a few shows as well, too big in the

480
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 3: fantasy space. So the moral of the story behind me

481
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 3: after putting a real estate aside is I've realized that

482
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 3: there's so much power in community that I want to

483
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,919
Speaker 3: figure out. And I've been continued to build around communities.

484
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 3: How can I build either build a community, or help

485
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 3: others build their community, or help others tap into their

486
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 3: existing community. And so that's where my focus is off

487
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 3: the field when it comes to my endeavors.

488
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 2: And you've done that.

489
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: You've not only done that for yourself, like you said,

490
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,919
Speaker 1: you've helped others as well. And I guess I talk

491
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: to you all day also, but I know you're a

492
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 1: busy man.

493
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: But there's definitely something we got to hit on, and

494
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 2: it's experienced.

495
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, talked about an app you create it tell us

496
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: all about experience and how people can download, help people

497
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 1: be a part of it, tell us all.

498
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 3: So I mentioned I started getting into the tech business,

499
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,959
Speaker 3: and what I really realized in the especially in the NFL,

500
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 3: is that us as players have such a short bandwidth

501
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: when it comes to things outside of football that we're

502
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 3: not really passionate about. There's a few outliers that people

503
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 3: are really passionate about something they'll do it all day.

504
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 3: But one of the things that we all have is

505
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: a community, whether it's from the name on the front

506
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 3: of our jersey right here, Washington Commanders or the name

507
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 3: on the back.

508
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: We have some type of community.

509
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 3: Some type of fan base there, and there's so much

510
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 3: value in that. You see that from all the brand

511
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,399
Speaker 3: deals that get done, and it's like that's great, like

512
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 3: make your money on brand deals. But it's like, Okay,

513
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 3: are those people really interested in a fifteen percent off

514
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: you know, coupon.

515
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 2: Sure, maybe they are, but they're more interested.

516
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 3: In what you're doing right and being involved in what

517
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 3: you have going on. And so I created Experience to

518
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 3: allow outside fan bases to be able to tap into athletes.

519
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 3: But knowing that athletes have a short bandwidth, so I

520
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: made it as easy as possible to do different types

521
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 3: of engagements with people like myself. So if you want

522
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 3: to get your jersey signed, or you want to get

523
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 3: anything signed in the sports world, you can now go

524
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 3: on to Experience and you can go to fan mail

525
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 3: and then you buy the fan mail offering and send

526
00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 3: in your stuff to get signed. So we have a

527
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 3: few of our guys like Marcus Mariota's on there, Jonathan Allen, myself,

528
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 3: Luke McCaffrey, So like right now you can go on

529
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 3: there and get your stuff signed by our guys, or

530
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 3: if you want to like a personalized video, right, if

531
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:47,359
Speaker 3: you want to root us on for the game the

532
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 3: opener against Tampa, like you can go in there do that,

533
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:51,439
Speaker 3: you can have a video chat with us.

534
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,479
Speaker 2: So different types of engagements that are on there.

535
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: We manage it for the athletes because we know, like

536
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 3: I said, their bandwidth is short.

537
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: So it's an engagement platform.

538
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 3: So if you want to download it, it's experience and

539
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:04,479
Speaker 3: it's spelled e k S as my last name is Ekler, right,

540
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 3: experience you know e k s p r uh and

541
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 3: then the rest of experience. So yeah, definitely check it

542
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 3: out if you want to get something signed. We have

543

Speaker 3: have some guys and we have like we have like

Speaker 4: Man.

00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 2: I could sit and talk to you all day.

558
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:39,639

561
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: What I do have to ask is my last question,

562
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: because we do have Tampa Bay coming up.

563
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, our first game.

564
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: When this is your first time we're in an NFL

565
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,400
Speaker 1: game wearing burgundy and gold, what can fans expect?

566
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:51,920
Speaker 2: Hey?

567
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 3: Man, Look, we have a lot of new pieces in

568
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 3: our in our offense, not just off as the whole team,

569
00:21:57,400 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 3: from head coach to ownership to players. And when I

570
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 3: was actually talking to Adam about this, I was like, man, like,

571
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 3: it's it's really special to see what we've built here

572
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 3: as far as guys who've been there, done that, veterans

573
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 3: that have had success in this league. Right, putting ourselves

574
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 3: especially on offense around Jaydeen, with guys that have had

575
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 3: like I've mentioned, a lot of success and our veterans

576
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 3: leaders as well, and really can put Jaden in a

577
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 3: great spot to lead us, you know, as a rookie quarterback,

578
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 3: even with Tyler up front at center. And so I

579
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 3: don't know what the outcome is gonna be, but I'll

580
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: tell you this, man, I'm super excited for what we've

581
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 3: been seeing a practice and what we've been putting together

582
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 3: because we've been putting in the results, are putting in

583
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 3: the details, putting in the time to make sure that

584
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 3: the results can hopefully be what we desire. We can't

585
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 3: control results, but we control our inputs, you know. And

586
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 3: that's what I'm all about. It's it's about it's about

587
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 3: getting better, continue to stay on the rise.

588
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 2: And so I can give you that I can give you.

589
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 3: We're gonna give everything we can to make sure that

00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 3: we're winning games out there and putting our best foot.

591
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: Forward one percent better every day. Also, that's all we

592
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:55,840

00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 2: And I saw you had your kids, which you brought

624
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 2: the fan with you.

625
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 1: You know a lot of times when we're doing these things,

626
00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: that we're in it and our kids are watching us

627
00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: do it.

628
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: It's normal to them.

629
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: They don't realize how special their parents are the.

630
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: Things that we're doing.

631
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,800
Speaker 1: Do your kids realize how special their dad was, and like,

632
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 1: really what it is when they step on that field

633
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: with you.

634
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 5: But you know, I think it's getting to that time

635
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 5: now that they're involved in sports and they're having their moment,

636
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 5: you know, to leave the field that you know, their

637
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 5: juniors being recruited to leave the field and bring them

638
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 5: to NFL State Stadium. I think the encouragement just to

639
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,280
Speaker 5: see like, oh, this is what it's like, you know,

640
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 5: I think that was great for them.

641
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 4: So to be able to have them to bring them along.

642
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 5: You know, when their kids, you kind of want them

643
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 5: shelter from it right that they're getting into their own

644
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 5: and at the point of this could be you, you know,

645
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,360
Speaker 5: and the next year or two, you know, you step

646
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 5: it on college fields and receiving a receptions. Just trying

647
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 5: to make sure you understand like all this goes with it.

648
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 5: It's not just on feel you know, you got to

649
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 5: be the people's person. You got to be for your fans,

650
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 5: you know, like to see that twenty sixth jersey throughout

651
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:31,159
Speaker 5: the stadium and it's like people don't even know you there,

652
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,280
Speaker 5: but like, hey man.

653
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:33,120
Speaker 4: You know what nice jersey.

654
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 5: Let me sign that or to see that one of

655
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 5: that eighty nine, you know, like it's just one of

656
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 5: those Like we ten fifteen years removed from doing anything

657
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 5: and you're still getting to love. So just trying to

658
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,440
Speaker 5: teach them how to deal with people, how to appreciate

659
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 5: the fans, how to make sure the fans know going

660
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,959
Speaker 5: above and beyond taking pictures, signing some autographs, like you know,

661
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 5: like this comes with it.

662
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: Man, that's great to hear, and I'm glad you're getting

663
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: the flowers you deserve because again, man, like if you

664
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,439
Speaker 1: asked me about Washington growing up, I'm thinking about Clinton

665
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: Port it's off the rip or Sean Taylor, right, So

666
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 1: you like, that's how heavy your name was, and that's

667
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 1: how much you did for this fan base. Let's talk

668
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: about the vibes and the energy of the actual facilities

669
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 1: and the players and the coaching staff. You were around

670
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 1: for a few coaching staffs. You got to see a

671
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: lot of things. How is this time different because we've

672
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: heard from all of the ledgers about the energy is

673
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 1: just different.

674
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 2: The energy is just different. How has it been different

675
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 2: for you?

676
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 5: I think in talking to the players, you know, talking

677
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:36,919
Speaker 5: to Jonathan Allen, talking talking to Crowder, the expectations, you know,

678
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 5: understanding what's expected of you, having it clear, it's already

679
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 5: laid out. These are the standards. You know, you got

680
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 5: a standard, this is what we'll buy by, this is

681
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 5: what we do and getting it done. So when you

682
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 5: don't have that standard, when you don't have that discipline,

683
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 5: when you don't have that identity, I think it's harder

684
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 5: for players, you know, because everybody kind of and chaos

685
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 5: and creative, and all of a sudden you got a

686
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 5: voice and coach Quinn, you got a new ownership group

687
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 5: with a different vision. You got so many intricate pieces

688
00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,919
Speaker 5: that want to see you. When you know, just the

689
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 5: energy for the city to be back in position of

690
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 5: like exciting, you know, to have energy to want to

691
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 5: be at the stadium. Would it being no distractions and

692
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,360
Speaker 5: just about football? You know, I think it's been quiet

693
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 5: for a couple of years and now it's like switching

694
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 5: over to it's about football at the end of the day,

695
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 5: wins and losses, and you want to see a winning product.

696
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 1: And I think what helps with that excitement, right is

697
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: a rookie like Jaden Daniels, having a rookie quarterback like

698
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: that that could come out and just be dynamic. What

699
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,639
Speaker 1: have you seen from Jaden and grown eyes and what

700
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 1: have you heard from you know, coaches, former teammates about

701
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: Jaden Dames.

702
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 5: Well, I think when you look at Jayden Daniels, just

703
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:04,959
Speaker 5: his has his path to the NFL. You know, I

704
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 5: saw him at Arizona State. Then seeing at LSU, you know,

705
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 5: to actually be a fan, to see the progress, to

706
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 5: see the work you put in, how your how your

707
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 5: teammates started you at Arizona State compared to the appreciation

708
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 5: and love you got at LSU, the elevation it took,

709
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 5: you know, how you lifted the team, uh and carry

710
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 5: the care the a story franchise, you know, and then

711
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 5: you go out and you win the heism and then

712
00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 5: all of a sudden you're second pick in the draft.

713
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 4: You know, you come out in.

714
00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:39,960
Speaker 5: The draft with a lot of quarterbacks, you kind of jump,

715
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 5: you know, jump through the hurts. I thought he was

716
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:46,240
Speaker 5: the best quarterback uh in college football. So to be

717
00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 5: able to land him and put weapons around him without

718
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 5: the distraction. I think his play making ability and all

719
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:56,040
Speaker 5: that speak for itself, you know, having an opportunity to

720
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,480
Speaker 5: speak with him on the sideline. The advice I gave

721
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 5: my sman, the city would love you. Just go out

722
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,239
Speaker 5: and perform. This city would love you. You don't have

723
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 5: to get into it back and forth, you don't have

724
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 5: to listen to the nay sayers. Go out and perform

725
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 5: the city. The city I love you. And you know,

726
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 5: I think he was really receptive to that advice.

727
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: I mean, when it comes to rookies, I don't know

728
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: if any rookie came into the league and had an

729
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: impact like what you did, right, grinning offensive Rookie of

730
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 1: the Year when you came in.

731
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 2: Talk about that advice you gave the Jaden.

732
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: What advice would you give to rookies as a whole

733
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 1: on being able to be successful and find success in

734
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: that first year in the NFL?

735
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 5: Man, You know, like for me coming in as rooky,

736
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 5: I was the second round draft pick and that created

737
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 5: the biggest chip on my sup of pine. You know

738
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 5: a lot of these kids don't have a chip. They

739
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,959
Speaker 5: don't have it. I made it, you know, I made it.

740
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 5: You haven't made a play for me, going in the

741
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 5: second round was like a slap in the face saying

742
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 5: four guys go in front of me that. I felt like,

743
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 5: you gotta be kidding, you know, and aunt put the

744
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 5: body of work together.

745
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 4: You know. It was like one of those.

746
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 5: Animosity like, Okay, every team I play, I got to

747
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 5: make sure they understand they should have drafted me. I

748
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 5: got to make them wish you know what, we messed up.

749
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 5: We should have took this kid. And you know that's

750
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 5: what I set out to do. It was all just, man,

751
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 5: I'm proving people wrong.

752
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 4: You know.

753
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 5: For two years, I'm proving doubters wrong. I'm proving haters wrong.

754
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 5: All the people who say, oh, this kid should have

755
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 5: went in front of him, or oh this was the

756
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:33,480
Speaker 5: second round pick.

757
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:34,600
Speaker 4: That used to fuel me.

758
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 5: So I think for guys now, you got to find

759
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 5: something to fuel you. You got to go out and

760
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 5: compete a lot of these guys. It's just hey, man,

761
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 5: I'm here, I'm getting this paycheck.

762
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 4: You know, I've arrived.

763
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 5: Compared to playing for the name on the back of

764
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 5: the jersey that used to mean something like you wanted

765
00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 5: for this to be a household name. You know, I

766
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 5: think Sean T. Wanted Taylor to be a household name,

767
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 5: saying Tanna wanted Moss to be a household name. It

768
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 5: wasn't about the paycheck. We were all get to pay check,

769
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 5: like all right, we got this check now what you

770
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 5: know what I mean? So I think it was just

771
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 5: honest with self. When it comes to playing football, A

772
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 5: lot of us just like man, I you know I

773
00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 5: played today, Well I called a pass.

774
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 4: The hell you play receiver?

775
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 5: They throw the ball, that's the standard, you know, Like

776
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 5: I don't want to just be average. I want to

777
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 5: be above above, you know, I want to be household name.

778
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: And in order to become a household name, especially that

779
00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: young right, it's not just a chip on your shoulder.

780
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 1: It's also the people around you that give you that game,

781
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: give you that advice, helping show you like hey man, listen,

782
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: stay focused on the main goal. Who are those people

783
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,560
Speaker 1: that helped inspire you, that helped to lead you and

784
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: just give you game while you were youngster?

785
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,000
Speaker 5: Oh man, For me, I had the I had the

786
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 5: pleasure of being at the youth and then going to

787
00:31:56,920 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 5: the Broncos. So at the you, I think everybody, big

788
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 5: dog was edged.

789
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 4: You know.

790
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 5: Then when you play with guys, the Dan Morgan's, the

791
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 5: the Santana, the Reggie Wayne and Jeremy Shock and and

792
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,880
Speaker 5: Andre Johnson, like you kind of pick it up. Then

793
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 5: when you get to the NFL, I got Rod Smith,

794
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 5: I got Shannon Sharp.

795
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 4: Terrell Davis, like Al Wilson, Ian Mobley.

796
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 5: You know, you had so many players, Delta O'Neil, Like,

797
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 5: you had so many leaders that came off of a

798
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 5: Super Bowl team, so they were used to winning. They

799
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,840
Speaker 5: knew what the Sanders was, they knew what to expect,

800
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 5: so it was easy for me to like faul nne

801
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 5: You know, people always ask like, what was the difference

802
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 5: in you and Denver and you in d C. And

803
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 5: always I'm like, d C. I had to grow up

804
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,280
Speaker 5: d C be the fact, you know, I was faced

805
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 5: on the team of carrying an organization. It's kind of

806
00:32:55,160 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 5: like year three, I get this opportunity in my expectations changed,

807
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 5: Like you're the face of an organization in Denver, I'm

808
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:06,080
Speaker 5: like fifteenth on the totem pole.

809
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 4: You had so many guys there from you know.

810
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 5: Veterans that were leaders that had been in this community,

811
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 5: that had won championships. Brian Greasie, you know, your fresh

812
00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:21,520
Speaker 5: off of l Way. Tps still around, like Eden McCaffrey,

813
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,200
Speaker 5: Like you're talking about class acts. You got all of

814
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 5: these guys, and then you come to a different situation.

815
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 5: It's kind of like I got to take what I

816
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 5: learned and bring it here. But everybody forget like I'm

817
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 5: twenty two years old when I come.

818
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you talk about that Denver to Washington transition.

819
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that for a little bit. Because you

820
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: got traded. It was a big trade, probably one of

821
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: Denver's biggest trades. When you ask the fans, what goes

822
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: through your mind when you.

823
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:50,480
Speaker 2: Hear that news?

824
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: You know, two years you're killing it out in Denver,

825
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: then you get traded. Man, what's the first thing you

826
00:33:54,040 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 1: think about when you hear that news?

827
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 5: Denver biggest trade I think is still one of the

828
00:33:58,480 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 5: NFL's biggest trades.

829
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:00,560
Speaker 2: For sure.

830
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 5: Me for Champ Bailey and what turned out to be

831
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 5: Tatum Bill. I thought that was huge because I was

832
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 5: a Champ Bailey fan. You know, growing up, Champ Bailey

833
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 5: Charles Wilson were really like the last two going both

834
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 5: ways in college. So everybody kind of had that vision, like, well,

835
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 5: I want.

836
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 4: To be like Champ. I want to be like like

837
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 4: would like and then to get trade of.

838
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 5: Him, of course as an honor, you know, and then

839
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 5: everybody look at the careers like, oh well Denver won

840
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 5: to trade or you know how it went. I would

841
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 5: never say that, you know, I think the impact on

842
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 5: the game. I think it worked out for both for

843
00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 5: what he took to Denver, for what he did and

844
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,799
Speaker 5: did in Denver to be able to go out was great.

845
00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 5: But I think what I did in d C, what

846
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:58,919
Speaker 5: I was actually doing d C, the development I got

847
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,240
Speaker 5: uh to to have then honor plan for coach Gibbs,

848
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 5: like Man, I was to go from Shanahan to Gibbs.

849
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 5: You can't Shanahan is up here, you know, it's hard

850
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:14,360
Speaker 5: to find a better coach, and then you go to

851
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 5: coach Gibbs, who probably one of the most humble, winning

852
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 5: is people in life of all time.

853
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:23,040
Speaker 6: You know.

854
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 2: So I thought it was great and you hit the

855
00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 2: ground running literally when you got here.

856
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: Man, I don't think anybody has had a debut for

857
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:36,440
Speaker 1: Washington like you had first carry housed sixty four yards

858
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,080
Speaker 1: to the crib. Take us back to that moment, man,

859
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 1: because again you're you know, you have these expectations put

860
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: on you that you said, right, you're here to be

861
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: the face of the team, You're here to be this leader.

862
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,239
Speaker 2: And then you go in housing like that. Man, take

863
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 2: us back to that moment.

864
00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 5: Man, you know, I just I think when you look

865
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 5: at the Lavernius, when you look at Chris Samuels, when

866
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,880
Speaker 5: you look at LeVar, you know, just the team coming together,

867
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 5: that was a moment, like the momentum that carried over

868
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 5: from that first place. It was just, hey man, here

869
00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 5: go my debuty stadium rocking like many think.

870
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:10,359
Speaker 4: You know, these people don't know who I am.

871
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 5: You know, like these people think, oh man, we just

872
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 5: lost a great which you did, but you didn't. You

873
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 5: didn't get no no shabby player in return. It was

874
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 5: one of those like let's make make our stamp and

875
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 5: everything open up, you know, the old line. That thing

876
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 5: opened up and it was just like, oh, here here

877
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 5: you go. You know, you couldn't have drawn that up.

878
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:38,239
Speaker 5: I don't think anybody in their right mind could have

879
00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:40,600
Speaker 5: been like, hey man, this this is gonna happen.

880
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 2: You know.

881
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 5: It's a taken to the house just to see the reaction.

882
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 5: Like if you look at the camera view of that,

883
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 5: like it's Rocke you know what I mean, how often

884
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 5: do you get that?

885
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 4: And that's gonna always be an iconic.

886
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: Like you talk about an iconic moment like that, But

887
00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,880
Speaker 1: you had a lot here in Washington. What is your

888
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,560
Speaker 1: favorite memory when you sit back and look about your

889
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: time with Washington, what is one of your favorite memories

890
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:05,840
Speaker 1: that you can share with us.

891
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 5: Man, that phone call on draft day to get Shanty.

892
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:18,120
Speaker 5: I think that tops anything that I've done on the field,

893
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 5: you know, just that that steadiness, Hey, Shan te Shanty,

894
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 5: we need Shan and and for it to happen, you know,

895
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 5: I think for that to happen, and then we go

896
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 5: out in the phone call to get Santana. Just those moments,

897
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 5: the stuff that you don't see wasn't really on the field,

898
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:45,439
Speaker 5: but once we started taking the field, when we're coming

899
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 5: out of the tunnel, uh, and you just got you

900
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,920
Speaker 5: know which we had more guys, But just at the

901
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,440
Speaker 5: end of the day, we knew, hey man, it's gonna

902
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 5: come down to how we play like we carry this

903
00:37:57,880 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 5: We made this thing and go and it was just

904
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 5: that bond, you know, when you think back, when you

905
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,360
Speaker 5: see it or when when people talk about it or

906
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:11,160
Speaker 5: discuss it, it's like you can't mention one with doctor other,

907
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:15,879
Speaker 5: you know, and and uh, that's not often you look

908
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:20,120
Speaker 5: at teams that won Super Bowls, you have that before

909
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 5: a team that you know, won one playoff game, you don't.

910
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 5: So I think to create that bond was was really special.

911
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 5: You know. That's one of those When you think of

912
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 5: Troy Aight, mean, you like Michael Hervey, Emmitt Smith. When

913
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,760
Speaker 5: you think of the Buffalo Bills, you like Jim Kelly, Thrman,

914
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 5: Thomas Andre Reid, you know, Saning fran Montana, Young Rice,

915
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 5: Roger Craig. You know, it's like it go hand in

916
00:38:47,719 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 5: hand with winning. But most of the time, when you

917
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 5: think of the Skins, unless you're thinking about the Super

918
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 5: Bowl teams, uh, which which Gary and Art Monk and

919
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 5: all those guys as Joe, you know, just Darryl Green,

920
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 5: it's us.

921
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 4: You know, it's us, and it's hard.

922
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 5: To change it. Even fifteen years later. You know, Chanty

923
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:20,839
Speaker 5: died No. Seven, so seventeen years later, that's still may

924
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 5: we go hand in hand.

925
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: And CP all the sacrifices, all the hard work you

926
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 1: put in paved the way for so many others, Sean

927
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: Taylor as well, all these guys that you mentioned, y'all

928
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: paved the way for this new era that is the

929
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: Washington Commanders, and we have some tough dogs in the

930
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,759
Speaker 1: backfield with b Rob and Austin Eckler from the OG himself. Man,

931
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: how excited are you to see those two paired up

932
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,600
Speaker 1: because you know, back in the day, man, you had

933
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 1: to just be the workhorse all carry it all the downs.

934
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: Now you see a different NFL where it's two guys

935
00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:50,239
Speaker 1: working in tandem. What do you expect to see from them?

936
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 5: Well, you know, like it's crazy because I feel like

937
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 5: back in the day as the workhorse. When I think

938
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,920
Speaker 5: of Ladell, Betts and rock Cart, Mike said, for what

939
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 5: we did as a unit, you know, uh, the expectations

940
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 5: amongst us, I feel like we were we were a group,

941
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 5: like our relationship, like everything, we were a group. And

942
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 5: then to go to see the form of the NFL

943
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 5: where they it's kind of forced, like, hey, everything is

944
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 5: a tandem, like I think we understood, like here go

945
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 5: my moment, lead dog when I come out, here go

946
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:30,239
Speaker 5: your opportunity. But to not be selfish, because I think

947
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:35,120
Speaker 5: Laddell still did his thing amongst me, having you know,

948
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 5: the yards that I had Laddell when he got his opportunity,

949
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:42,759
Speaker 5: came in and capitalized, or Rock came in and capitalized.

950
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 5: So now it's kind of like this running back by committee,

951
00:40:46,760 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 5: and you don't really get the you don't get to

952
00:40:48,840 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 5: grind it out. You don't get to feel the effects

953
00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 5: of the running game like we used to just ground

954
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,360
Speaker 5: and pound, where you're gonna get consecutive carries and you

955
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,840
Speaker 5: move in the chain and you know you're getting the

956
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,759
Speaker 5: crowd into it. So now it's kind of like every

957
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,840
Speaker 5: down you're running on and off the field, so you

958
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 5: don't really get it in simple So to be able

959
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 5: to see b Rob and Austin come together, you know,

960
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 5: you gotta make the same work. It's not like Austin

961
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 5: is just a third down back, Like right, this people

962
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 5: making plays and he's here to make plays.

963
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 4: So to be able to see.

964
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 5: Them and how they're gonna one two or play off

965
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,359
Speaker 5: for each other, it's gonna be exciting. And then I mean,

966
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 5: you forgot we got Terry, you know, you got you

967

00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:41,719
Speaker 5: these these people that made plays in the NFL, So

969
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 5: you got weapons around you to go out and get

970
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,040

00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 5: the definition of icon, you know, you think of the people,

988
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,640

990
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 5: although you know some of the things I experienced, of

991
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 5: course I would love to erase. But at the same time,

992
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 5: I'm not ducking those smoke. I'm not dodging it, you know,

1069
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: walk down memory lane real quick because we actually got

1070
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: to work together a few years back when I was

1071
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:21,200
Speaker 1: at ESPN as a PA, and you are always so

1072
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: kind and nice and so professional. So I just wanted

1073
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: to start off by saying thank you, and it's great

1074
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:26,160
Speaker 1: to see you again.

1075
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:28,440
Speaker 4: Ron, thank you for having me. I appreciate it.

1076
00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 6: And uh, it's great to be with you today.

1077
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, and you have been a busy man, especially

1078
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: with the Commanders. It seems anytime we have something breaking,

1079
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,920
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter is the one on the case. What has

1080
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 1: it been like from you seeing this off season unfold

1081
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 1: for the Commanders.

1082
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 6: Oh, there's been a lot of change obviously, when you

1083
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 6: change the coaching staff, when you change the front office,

1084
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 6: and then you change the quarterback. Those are the most

1085
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 6: important positions in an organization. And the Commanders it went

1086
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 6: three to three, there are in terms of making changes.

1087
00:46:56,600 --> 00:46:59,160
Speaker 6: So they brought in some people that I think have

1088
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 6: a chance to be really good. Dan Quinn is very

1089
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 6: well respected, very well liked. Adam Peters has got a

1090
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 6: great reputation as the general manager, has the chance to

1091
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,680
Speaker 6: do some great things for the Commanders. And if Jaden

1092
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 6: Daniels is what they hope and think he is, then

1093
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,240
Speaker 6: rocket ship to the moon, because that's where it all starts.

1094
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 6: You have to have the quarterback. And if they've got

1095
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 6: the quarterback, then that franchise is going to be said.

1096
00:47:24,800 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 6: You know, I imagine it would be a little bit

1097
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 6: like when RG three came in as a rookie before

1098
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:32,279
Speaker 6: he got hurt. Everybody was really excited. He played well,

1099
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 6: went into the opening game against the New Orleans Saints

1100
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 6: in New Orleans and lit them up, lit them up

1101
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 6: and led the Commanders or Redskins to an upset victory.

1102
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 6: And obviously you guys are hoping now that Jayden Daniels.

1103
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 4: Can do the same.

1104
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:48,000
Speaker 1: And Adam, like you said, right, I'm here and I

1105
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 1: see it. But you you're on the national media. You

1106
00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,919
Speaker 1: have gotten to see all of these different AFAL teams.

1107
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 1: You're covering them every single day. So in your perspective,

1108
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 1: where are the Commanders at right now? And what do

1109
00:47:58,160 --> 00:47:59,560
Speaker 1: you expect to see from them this season?

1110
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,279
Speaker 6: You know again, well, I'm expecting improvement and the question

1111
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 6: is how much improvement?

1112
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:05,879
Speaker 4: Right?

1113
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,960
Speaker 6: And I think anything is possible in Washington, this upcoming year,

1114
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 6: I think there's gonna be vast improvement. And look, the

1115
00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 6: roster has holes. It's a new gene. The newsine just

1116
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:18,320
Speaker 6: took over. It's gonna take some time, but it feels

1117
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:22,360
Speaker 6: like with the three main pieces that they've assembled that

1118
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 6: we talked about, that you're on the pack to building

1119
00:48:26,520 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 6: what you want to build. That's what it feels like

1120
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 6: to me.

1121
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: And you've seen so many different rookie quarterbacks come in

1122
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: and come out with a lot of expectations. What have

1123
00:48:34,040 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 1: you seen so far from Jayden Daniels that makes you

1124
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 1: think you know what he might be the one?

1125
00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 6: I haven't seen enough of him, to be honest with you.

1126
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 6: You've seen more of him than I have. I've seen

1127
00:48:41,360 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 6: him in a preseason game. So again, I just know

1128
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:49,640
Speaker 6: what other personnel people were saying to me during the

1129
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,960
Speaker 6: draft process. I had a couple of people who's opinion

1130
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 6: I respect independent of each other, both say to me

1131
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 6: that they felt like Jaden Daniels had a real chance

1132
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 6: to be Lamar jabs two point zero. Now that doesn't

1133
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:04,279
Speaker 6: mean he will be, but it means he's got a

1134
00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:09,160
Speaker 6: chance to be. And sports is about memories, it's about hope,

1135
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 6: and there's hope that Jaden Daniels can be exactly what

1136
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 6: other people believe he can be, which is Lamar Jackson

1137
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:21,320
Speaker 6: two point. Now if he is that, If he is,

1138
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:27,040
Speaker 6: what can this team do? And the answer would be anything,

1139
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,839
Speaker 6: anything if he's not good, But we don't know that yet.

1140
00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 6: We're wait in to see and that's the exciting, intriguing

1141
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 6: part of the upcoming season.

1142
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: And we'll get a good taste of that in Week

1143
00:49:39,080 --> 00:49:40,719
Speaker 1: one when we head over to Tampa Bay to take

1144
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: on the Buccaneers. What do you expect to see from

1145
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: that game? And do you feel Tampa Bay is the

1146
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:49,879
Speaker 1: proper test for a rookie or there will be still

1147
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,080
Speaker 1: more questions because Tampa Bay isn't that you know, Green

1148
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: Bay Packer team, that's that premier playoff team that gives in.

1149
00:49:56,320 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 4: Tampa Is it not?

1150
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 6: Yes, sir, Any road game for a rookie quarterback is

1151
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 6: gonna be tough, toking with. So Jaden Daniels is gonna

1152
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:11,640
Speaker 6: have all the kid no again, And I don't know

1153
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 6: how it's gonna work. If he is what they think,

1154
00:50:13,880 --> 00:50:16,800
Speaker 6: He's gonna go out and ball and what are we

1155
00:50:16,800 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 6: gonna see like that's one of the great exciting questions

1156
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:25,839
Speaker 6: of week one, right, So we'll see how.

1157
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:26,399
Speaker 4: That works out.

1158
00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 1: And and we're gonna let you go because we know

1159
00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:30,399
Speaker 1: you're busy. We know there's a lot of breaking news

1160
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:33,480
Speaker 1: coming up, but you are mister breaking news. So if

1161
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:35,800
Speaker 1: you had to just give us a guess on what

1162
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,720
Speaker 1: moves you see the commanders making in the near future,

1163
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 1: what would you say that would be?

1164
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,040
Speaker 6: Well, they just made a ton of him right today,

1165
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:46,319
Speaker 6: they signed Noah Brown, the former Texans wide receiver who

1166
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 6: I've been alike. I think that guy can make place.

1167
00:50:48,719 --> 00:50:51,320
Speaker 6: He's gonna join their active roster. They needed some receiver

1168
00:50:51,480 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 6: help and they get it and Noah Brown. They traded

1169
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:58,759
Speaker 6: John Ridgeway, the defensive tackle, to the Saints in a

1170
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 6: late round swap. They traded John Dodson last year. Like

1171
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 6: they've been busy and active. Like you know, you can't

1172
00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 6: make all these moves every single day. So they've made

1173
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 6: a lot of moves. They're gonna continue to make more moves,

1174
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 6: and they're gonna keep trying to build this the right way.

1175
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 2: Adam, thank you so much for your time.

1176

00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:24,560

1186
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 2: Got to hear it twice
