Speaker 2: He's going to be a nice selection for whoever picks

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 2: him up. And uh, I learned the hard way when

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 2: we were interviewing him that the e on Fisk is silent,

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,560

00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: He's not fisky. He's Braden Fitts see you've taught the

28
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: everything a coach would want in terms of his approach,

29
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 2: his energy, all of those things. Coach Mack can speak

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 2: on that.

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,039

37
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 4: in his voice for what he's getting ready to do,

38
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 4: you can feel it. You can feel it come across

39
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:09,519

Speaker 3: Why does he keep showing up?

47

Speaker 4: Because he is just all out all the time, and

48
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 4: he understands who he is. He's not the biggest defensive lineman,

49
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 4: but he understands what he what has made him successful.

50
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,560

104
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 5: testament to consistency, you know, for the whole year, you know,

105
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 5: I mean I never swayed off the path. You know,

106
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 5: I put in a ton of work this this the

107
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 5: offseason and throughout the season, and you know, going into

108
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 5: Week seven, I didn't have the stats that I really

109
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 5: wanted to through the season, and you know, I just

110
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 5: started having fun again.

111
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,719
Speaker 6: You know, I put a lot of pressure.

112
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 5: On myself early in the season, you know, saying hey, like,

113
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 5: this is this is what I want to do. I

114
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: had all these goals and all these stats I wanted

115
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 5: to grab, but by week seven I hadn't really reset.

116
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 5: And then you know every week up into that, from

117
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 5: eight all the way up into the AC Championship, I

118
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 5: kind of improved. And I had just been waiting on

119
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 5: that moment. You know, I think just everything that had

120
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,919
Speaker 5: happened that season, with Jordan Travis getting injured and you know,

121
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 5: being down to our third string quarterback, and you know,

122
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 5: we knew going into that game it was on the defense,

123
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 5: and you know, and you when it's time to rise

124
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,280
Speaker 5: and the lights are brighter. I mean that's kind of

125
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 5: when I felt like I felt I felt the most comfortable.

126
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 5: You know, we made I think the second play of

127
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 5: the game, when I had that TfL, I knew right then.

128
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 6: I was, yeah, it's over. I mean, it just clicks.

129
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 6: It just clicked.

130
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 5: And you know, even leading up to the game, you

131
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 5: get those chills like that, you can feel it in

132
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 5: the air like it's one of the one of those

133
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 5: type of games, and I mean it was super special.

134
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 5: I mean I was blessed to be in that position

135
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 5: to begin with, being on a thirteen and oh team

136
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 5: and being you know, in the a SEC Championship.

137
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 6: I mean, what more could you ask for as a

138
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 6: football guy. I mean, it's super super awesome.

139
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,680

Speaker 1: Now.

147
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 4: The thing reason I bring that up is this when

00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 4: we're up in their stands watching, you know, through the binoculars,

149

150
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: Go ahead. That's what I was like coaching Mack.

151
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 7: Why is he keep showing up?

152
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 8: That's what I kept asking. Why I played at Tennessee

00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,200

Speaker 8: Because yeah, Florida State and all those types of things.

156
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 8: So I'm noticing on the interior, you're just always back there.

157
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 8: Where does that drive? Where does that come from? And

158
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 8: when did you learn to develop that? Because you do

159
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 8: have to learn that at some point.

160
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think it's just something I you know,

161
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 5: I had I had to put in my game early

162
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 5: out of my career. You know, I'm not the most

163
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 5: physically imposing guy in the field. You know, I'm not

164
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 5: the six to sixth guy with super long arms. So

165
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 5: early on in my career, I had to find traits

166
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: that were gonna set me apart from other guys. And

167
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 5: you know, one was the relentless effort getting into the

168
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 5: getting to the ball and you know, making plays that

169
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 5: the attackers when Wally don't make.

170
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 6: And second was the get off.

171
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 5: You know, I mean, I'm not the three hundred and

172
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 5: twenty pounders, so I'm going to beat you to the

173
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 5: point of attacking. You're not gonna drive me off the

174
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 5: ball because I mean, I'm not a guy who can

175
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 5: just sit there and take on blocks. I'm going to

176
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 5: beat you to the point. And you know, I'm gonna

177
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 5: hold you there because I mean, I'm not gonna.

178
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 6: Sit there and take two steps and wait for you

179
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 6: to attack me. I'm gonna attack you first.

180
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 5: And that's just something I've had to add to my

181
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 5: game to have the success that I have had, and

182
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 5: I think just over the years has just grown and

183
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 5: you know, I've molded more into the player I want

184
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 5: to be over time, and it's just gotten better and better.

185
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 8: You've been a menace in practice, man, Like I say,

186
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 8: you can't help. But notice I kept action. Who is

187
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 8: five five?

188
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 1: Is your number? Right?

189
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 6: Yes? Sir?

190
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 8: Who was five five? Who is five five? That's all

191
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 8: I kept saying. And I had to look you up

192
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 8: and just be like, you have been doing your thing?

193
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 8: What You've had some interaction with Titans coach Terrell Williams too, Yeah,

194
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 8: what is he's giving you this week? As as you've

195
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 8: gone throughout these practices.

196
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 5: Now he's actually know, he's actually been the coach has

197
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 5: been you know, super cool me. I can tell like

198
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 5: he wants to coach me every time I get done

199
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 5: with the rep and like even today he challenged me

200
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 5: like that last set I went out there, he yells

201
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 5: at me, he'say, if he ain't made a play yet

202
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 5: today and then go back to backsacks, All right, no,

203
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 5: like I got you.

204
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 6: But now that's just that cool interaction we've had.

205
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 5: Like I think at first, you know, I don't know

206
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 5: if I was really a style of player first, and

207
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 5: then like before we even started in the first practice,

208
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 5: I think he he had texted me a night just

209
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 5: telling me like, hey, like, great job, Like you know,

210
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 5: just give me a little pointers and stuff and then

211
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 5: talk to him a little bit today and just you know,

212
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 5: just trying to take all the information that came from

213
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 5: these guys. I mean, you're learning from the best of

214
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 5: the best here, whether it's players or coaches, and you know,

215
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 5: just for I think that's my biggest thing going into

216
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 5: this week, is just retaining as much inform as I

217
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 5: can and you know, just you know, taking everything in.

218
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 5: I think it's a super special opportunity, you.

219
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: Know, talking about being able to find your game with

220
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: your tools that you know, it comes in all sizes.

221
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 4: I coach at the Rams for six years. We drafted

222
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 4: a guy that they said was too short, arms are

223
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 4: too Aaron Donald.

224
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, And I mean he worked out.

225
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 4: Okay, right, But I mean those types of things are

226
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: important for you to understand what are you What have

227
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 4: you picked up this week that you can even improve

228
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: on more, because clearly you're a technical dude, and you

229
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 4: under I mean violence is part of your game, which

230
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 4: it has to be, but your technique stuff you've picked up.

231
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think you know, understanding like in

232
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 5: my pass rush, like sometimes I rely a little bit

233
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 5: too much on the bull rush, and obviously I don't

234
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 5: have I don't have the length to be a bull

235
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 5: rush guy at all times. There's time that there's a

236
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 5: time and place for that. But I mean like having

237
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 5: a second and third pass rush move ready, having a

238
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 5: counter move ready, especially when it'st the depth of the quarterback.

239
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 5: You know, just certain scenarios where you have to be

240
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 5: able to react and you know, change up your pass

241
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 5: rush game because that's gonna be a big part of

242
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 5: my game going to the next level, is being a

243
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 5: third down guy, because I mean, I think my get

244
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 5: off of my speed kind of separates me from offensive

245
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 5: lineman and you know, just you know, getting after it

246
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 5: and from that aspect, and you know, just you know,

247
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 5: add more variety, you know, never giving them, you know,

248
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 5: never giving them a sense of what I'm gonna do next.

249
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 5: And then you know, same in the run game, you know,

250
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 5: playing with lower pad level and you know, keeping leverage

251
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 5: on guys. And I mean, like I'm a smaller guy,

252
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 5: so if I'm gonna get that down block from that tackle,

253
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 5: I mean that's never easy. So I mean, like I

254
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 5: said earlier, beating them to the point of attack, and

255
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 5: you know, turn his shoulder to throw that hip in there, Like,

256
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 5: there's a lot of things to keep working on, just growing,

257
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 5: you know.

258
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 4: Uh for a coach that's the Titans for eight years,

259
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 4: and we had we drafted the guy out of Iowa. Yeah,

260
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 4: very similar to what you're like. And I'll let Ritt

261
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 4: take a guy named Carl Klug.

262
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 3: If you don't know who it is, look him up.

263
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: So okay, for sure, Yeah, you guys are a lot alike.

264
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: And if you have a career like he did, you're

265
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 2: you're gonna be doing good. I think your trajectory may

266
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: be a little higher. I don't uh, based on because

267
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 2: I call Coach Mac one night on the road on

268
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: a Titan's road trip. I don't remember what game you

269
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: guys were playing, but I'm like, hey, have you seen

270
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: this Fisk guy. I'm like, take a look at this

271
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: because you were flashing and I'm like, this this guy.

272
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: And then when we saw your name in the list,

273
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 2: Holy Moses. But I saw an interview you did recently

274
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 2: and you said a player comp that you would have

275
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: is to Zach Syler of the Miami Dolphins.

276
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:21,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's my favorite guy to watch for sure.

277
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

278
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, so I had heard about it. Well, he was

279
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 5: a fair state up there. I was a Western Michigan

280
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:29,680
Speaker 5: so we were kind of in the same, you know,

281
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 5: area of playing. And a guy knew at Western Michigan

282
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 5: had told me about him. He's like, listen, like, you

283
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 5: play kind of similar to this guy, and like this

284
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 5: is when he was like a rookie in the NFL.

285
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 5: So I mean I started watching him then I was like,

286
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,520
Speaker 5: oh wow, I mean, like this guy plays really similar

287
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 5: to me. I mean, and then just to watch how

288
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 5: his career has gone. He was a ten sack guy

289
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 5: this year, so I mean, like the impact he's had

290
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 5: from the interior, like I think, I mean, he might

291
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 5: be a little bit bigger than me, but just like

292
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 5: how we play and how we attack offensive lineman, he's

293
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 5: relentless getting to the ball. I mean, I mean, being

294
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,319
Speaker 5: a ten sack guy is no easy trade in the NFL.

295
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm sure you guys know that's pretty that's

296
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 5: serious biz. So I mean just what I mean, everything

297
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 5: he's been able to do over his career is it's

298
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 5: been super fun to watch and just as a player,

299
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 5: like it's I admire that kind of thing just because

300
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,000
Speaker 5: I'm a ballplayer too.

301
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 6: Like seeing how people grow. It's super cool.

302
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 2: And Bradon, I'm glad he brought it up because you

303
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: were a missed a Western Michigan guy prior to that.

304
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: I guess it's good to see an old teammate in

305
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 2: Marshawn Neeland here working with that same group.

306
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, super cool. I mean yeah, me and Marshaan were

307
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 6: super close when we were at Western.

308
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

309
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 5: We I told the story earlier that you know, when

310
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 5: I was coming up as a young guy trying to

311
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 5: learn from other guys, Like there was a guy a J.

312
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 5: Thomas playing for the Bears. I saw like the actual

313
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 5: work he would put in throughout the day and like,

314
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 5: you know, he'd be in the stadium layup, but man,

315
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 5: what are you doing here still? And like that's kind

316
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 5: of how I learned, you know, how do they build

317
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 5: a regimen throughout the day to really like be a pro?

318
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 5: And then that was something I was fortunate enough to

319
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 5: pass down to Marshawn. Like he would see me and

320
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 5: he asked me, He's like, dam what are you still

321
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 5: doing here? And he started following me around. So like

322
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 5: that's how we kind of built that relationship and just

323
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 5: to see, you know, how he's turned into as a player.

324
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 5: I think we played pretty similar. I mean he's similar

325
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 5: to me as far as how he gets to the ball.

326
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,319
Speaker 5: I mean he's a little bit lighter in the hips,

327
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 5: but uh, I mean he he's the as guy I'm

328
00:12:58,720 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 5: in a tier, but I mean he still gets that.

329
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 5: I mean I think he ran in almost twenty miles

330
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 5: an hour practice the other day. I mean, I mean

331
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 5: that's serious. I mean I don't think people really realize

332
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 5: from Afar, like how crazy that.

333
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: Is, Brandon.

334
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 2: This is gonna sound like a silly question, but at

335
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: just everybody here would have the same kind of answer.

336
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 2: But just hearing the energy that you bring just when

337
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: you're speaking, not much, not much less what you do

338
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: when you're practicing and playing that we've been witnessed to.

339
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 2: This really means something to you. This week doesn't everything

340
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: to me.

341
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 5: I mean, this is just this. This opportunity alone has

342
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 5: been a dream of mine for a long time. But

343
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 5: playing in the NFL has been something I've dreamt up

344
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,200
Speaker 5: since I was like six years old. I mean, to

345
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 5: be out here in front of NFL, like I'm sitting

346
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 5: in front of these scouts that night, I was like,

347
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 5: oh my, I just can't believe it, Like not in

348
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 5: a starstruck way. I just like, wow, like everything is

349
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 5: starting to come full circle on them. You know, I'm

350
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 5: to where I've wanted to be for so long, and

351
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 5: you know, like I'm somebody. I mean, I'm obsessed with

352
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 5: this game, Like I am, like i can't shut the

353
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 5: switch off just because like I'm always thinking about ball,

354
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 5: and like that's something I'm able to resonate with these

355
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 5: guys you know that I'm talking to, especially in these interviews.

356

00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: It started my career out as a defensive coach with

00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: Brother.

377
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 5: I get I played college ball for six years, but

378
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 5: I mean I had to realize, you know, it takes

379
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 5: time and patience. I mean, everyone's track is a little bigger,

380
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 5: a little smaller, doesn't matter, man. And once I figured that,

381
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 5: I was just kind of focused on me and remained

382
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 5: on my details, and everything kind of started shaping its way.

383
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 8: Undrafted eleven years and sir got it. Give it to

384
00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 8: him because they will give it back.

385
00:14:58,960 --> 00:14:59,720
Speaker 3: So you are.

386
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 8: I would love and hate you at the same time.

387
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 8: I know it already because I hear it and I

388
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 8: see you in practice. You will be a nuisance to

389
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 8: where I'm like, I gotta you got a Titan Chin

390
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 8: spy practice like god Lee. I would love and hate

391
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,280

Speaker 6: I appreciate it so much. Thank you.

Speaker 2: He really made a splash in twenty twenty three at

395
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 2: Florida State University. He's going to be one of the

396
00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 2: next superstars in the National Football League in the twenty

397
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 2: twenty four NFL Draft.

398
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 1: His name is spelled with an E, but it's silent.

399
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: It's Bradon Florida State University.

Speaker 6: Yeah, definitely thank you.

402
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: Staying in the state of Florida. Ricky Piarsow wide receiver.

403
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: Talented guy, got good size, got a lot of things

404
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: that people didn't expect, and has had an outstanding week.

405
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 4: Coach Mac nuanced. This guy is nuanced. He understands. You

406
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 4: can tell that. He understands how to set up defensive backs.

407
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 4: He understands how to get away from pressure. He understands.

408
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 4: He also understands spacey, and that's a big thing for

409
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 4: guys coming out of the collegiate game because spacing in

410
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 4: the collegiate game is so different with the hash marks,

411
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 4: so so different. But he understands, he understands spacing.

412
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 3: Uh.

413
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,520
Speaker 4: And Plus he's a he's a he's a sure catcher.

414
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 4: He's got really he's got really really good good hands.

415
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: I mean, I mean consistent, consistent hands. I always you know,

416
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 4: I follow the Southeastern Conference very closely, like we all do.

417
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 4: And I enjoyed watching him play because he and he

418
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 4: always steps up in the big moments. He always steps

419
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 4: up and down here he just he He's shown up

420
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 4: every practice and he's gotten better every practice.

421
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,119
Speaker 3: This guy is a real dude.

422
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: Good player. University of Florida. Interesting transfer story and I

423
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: got into that with him. Ricky Piersaw wide receiver, Florida

424
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: on the OTP. You're from Arizona, you went to Arizona State,

425
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: you transferred to Florida and played a couple of years

426
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: for the Gators. Would almost seem like for a receiver,

427
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: changing offenses, changing quarterbacks, going through different things is very

428
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: beneficial to be able to adjust on the fly. Do

429
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 1: I have that right or do I have that wrong?

430
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 6: Oh?

431
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 3: No, definitely.

432
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 9: I mean all the quarterbacks that I've been through and

433
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 9: all the playbooks I've been through, definitely have helped me

434
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 9: be able to adapt, you know, in any situation. And

435
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 9: I think that's why I can, you know, be able

436
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 9: to learn playbooks really fast and on the fly, is

437
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 9: because I've been through that through my college career.

438
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: What do you think surprises people about your game?

439
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 9: I think that's one of the attributes, is you know,

440
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 9: my mental side of things, you know, reading differences and

441
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 9: being able to retain information. But obviously my route running,

442
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 9: and I think my athleticism too. I think I'm able

443
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 9: to run and get vertical. I think that was a

444
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 9: question mark of mind. So being able to come out

445
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 9: here and show that was really important to me.

446
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have to run four two, but you

447
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: still have to have speed and acceleration and be able

448
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: to have speed out of your break.

449
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, for sure. I think that's more important than

450
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,360
Speaker 9: running a four too. Obviously, you know, seeing the success

451
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 9: of you know, guys in the NFL as the route

452
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 9: running abilities, be able to get in and out of cuts,

453
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 9: and then being obviously a student of the game.

454
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: For you, I've watched this week, it seems like they've

455
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,680
Speaker 1: played you all over. Do you have any preference where

456
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: you line up?

457
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 9: I mean, I wouldn't say a preference, but you know,

458
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 9: I'm comfortable inside outside it doesn't matter. But you know,

459
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 9: I p I primarily played the slot in college, so

460
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 9: you know, I'm extremely comfortable there, but I could win

461
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 9: inside or outside. I've actually done reps at both.

462
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,320
Speaker 1: So what are you working on through your training to

463
00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: get ready for the combine speedwork.

464
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 9: Obviously, you know, I got to run a fast forty times,

465
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 9: so that's the most important thing. And then obviously cleaning

466
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 9: up all little details and being able to run you know,

467
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 9: polished routes when it's time for that.

Speaker 1: about you rather than this other stuff. I got off

00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: on a tangent. Nice to have you here. Congratulations on

490
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,119
Speaker 1: your success so far in Mobile. What do you feel

491
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: like you were out to prove this week and what

492
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: have you proven so far?

493
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 10: Well, thank you guys for already having me here. Just

494
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 10: first of all, this week, I feel like I'm unsapproved.

495
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 10: I can create separation consistently, go ahead and be just

496
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 10: a dominant force within like you know, running routes as

497
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 10: well as going over top of people as well as

498
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 10: just going and doing running slants or digs or comebacks

499
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 10: or outs or stuff like that, and keep doing that

500
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 10: at a consistent rate. I'm trying to minimize the drops.

501
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 10: I had a couple yesterday. We're gonna go back today

502
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 10: and try to go ahead and put my best foot forward,

503
00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 10: lock in and focus, and then continue to do what

504
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 10: I've been doing.

505
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what this week is all about, just like

506
00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 2: it will be when you're playing in the NFL. It's

507
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 2: stack a day if you if you have a reset

508
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: day stack a day after that. So that's just kind

509
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 2: of the mindset with all this. But what is it

510
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 2: that you talked about the drops that you had yesterday?

511
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: What's some other.

512
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 2: Things you're working on as you go into this pre

513
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 2: draft process to go to the next level.

514
00:20:58,600 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 1: Pat level?

515
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 10: Just getting out some of these breaks, a little bit

516
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 10: quicker releases at the just beginning, going ahead, just releasing

517
00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 10: because a lot of these guys they don't even want

518
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 10: to put hands on me. They're gonna let me get

519
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 10: into my route. So okay, I gotta go ahead and

520
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 10: release a little bit quicker. And if I dictate the rhythm,

521
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 10: then I'm wearing my own rhythm. It's like a tangle.

522
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 10: We're going back and forth, and if they're over here

523
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,439
Speaker 10: dictating rhythm, it can go ahead and mess you up

524
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 10: with your own route.

525
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: What is the number one thing in your skill set

526
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: that you feel like NFL teams are most interested in seeing.

527
00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: He's physical physical, for sure.

528
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 10: I would to say just my body type and how

529
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 10: tall I am and the physicality. You also kind of

530
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 10: get that, plus that the fact that is like I

531
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 10: am fast as well, that's a sneaky type of fast.

532
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 2: So Brendan, we'd be remiss if we did not mention

533
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: your lineage. Your your father is Jerry Rice. And but

534
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 2: that's gotta be something that from everything I've read and

535
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: seen about you, that's probably one of your biggest personal

536
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: goals is to show your Brendan Rice, you're not Jerry Rice.

537
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Most definitely just my upbringing.

538
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 10: And you really got to be thankful just for the

539
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 10: last name Rice, And you got to be thankful like

540
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 10: just to have that type of structure and the support

541
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 10: system behind you and go ahead and take it and

542
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 10: use it to your benefit. But I am working towards

543
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 10: the legacy of just my own.

544
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: That's cool. Do NFL teams ask you about that much? Yeah,

545
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: for sure, but it's kind of maybe an icebreaker more

546
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: than anything else. Yeah. Yeah. As you go through the

547
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: remainder of this process, not just this week, but moving

00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 10: it all down and be thankful within the moment. And

555
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 10: it's man, this is kind of crazy, you know, just

556
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 10: going through college, going through the high school years and

557
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 10: all of this coming together and coming to fruition right now.

558
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 10: You gotta go ahead and have that mental capacity to

559
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,720

00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 10: So you gotta handle things like a pro. You have

571
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 10: to take it day by day. And yeah, so you're

572
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 10: you're you're a different position groups this week, but knowing

573
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 10: that it's kind of a grind this week, is it

574
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,120
Speaker 10: okay to have a guy like Marshawn Lloyd, your teammate

575
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 10: to be able to kind of go through this week

576
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:06,880
Speaker 10: and at least you have a familiar face and kind

577
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 10: of bounce things off of each other. Heck yeah, I

578
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 10: mean that's my dog masha on Ruod. Shootle, you guys

579
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 10: have no idea. We've been in a trances together in

580
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 10: that weight room, going addy back and forth with each other.

581
00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: So I love it. Heck yeah, that's Braydon Rice wide receiver.

582
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: USC interesting to talk to him about being Jerry Rice's.

583
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 2: Son, and that's why I didn't lead with it with

584
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 2: the first question, because I'm sure he gets asked that

585
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 2: every five seconds. And the story with that is, for

586
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: the longest time he did not have a relationship with

587
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 2: his father. That's only developed in the last five or

588
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,679
Speaker 2: six years. It's gotten really good in that window of time,

589
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: and he mentions it in the interview there. You know

590
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 2: the resources that are made available to him because his

591
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,040
Speaker 2: father is Jerry Rice.

592
00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: But clearly you.

593
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: Can hear in his voice he wants to be known

594
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 2: as Brendan Rice. Yes, I am Jerry Rice's son, but

595
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 2: I want to I want to show that I can

596
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 2: do my own thing.

597
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: Is he a Day three pick.

598
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 4: I think so, I think so, and it will be

599
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,200
Speaker 4: a quality Day three pick.

600
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 1: Yes, six to two hundred and twelve pounds Brendan Rice,

601
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver, usc Hey Titans fans, it's always game on

602
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: with Duncan, so grab a coffee and kick off the action.

603
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,120
Speaker 1: Whether that's drinking a cup of coffee on your way

604
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: to the game or grabbing one to go before watching

605
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: the game at home, Duncan is always there to help

606
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: you get your game on. Just like the pros, we

607
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:35,200
Speaker 1: need to be at our best come game time, which

608
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 1: is why Duncan is the most important part of your

609
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: game day ritual because it's always the best call for

610
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: football America runs on Duncan. All right, I won't say

611
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: this is Rhett Brian's man crush for Senior Bowl twenty

612
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: twenty four. He is not your Taja Spears, but another

613
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 1: Louisiana connection. Center Charles Turner came by to visit with

614
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,520
Speaker 1: Ramon Foster, coach, Dave McGinnis, and Rhett Brian. He's had

615
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: a really.

616
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: Good week, he has, and you know he he is

617
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 2: a guy that he's worked at. He played center for

618
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 2: LSU last year, but throughout his career in college, He's

619
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,399
Speaker 2: worked all up and down the line. I think he

620
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 2: prefers center. That's his preference. Obviously, he'll do whatever he's told.

621
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: He makes that clear like everybody else does going through

622
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,680
Speaker 2: this process. But I think you could you could possibly

623
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: play him within that center guard triangle. But center is

624
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 2: where he is excelling and he's he's done well for

625
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: himself this week.

626
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 6: Oh.

627
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 4: I really enjoyed talking with him, and he understands, he

628
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,479
Speaker 4: gets it, and he understands first of all what his

629
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 4: role will be. He wants to be a center, but

630
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 4: he and we talked. We talked about, you know, how

631
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 4: many people can be active on game day and to

632
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 4: do that, you know, you've got to be able to

633
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 4: play multiple positions. And when we've all experienced it, you

634
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: know the ot people know. I mean, things happen during

635
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 4: ball games, especially up there up front and so but

636
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 4: what he has, he has a working knowledge of that

637
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 4: whole center guard triangle when you visit with him. That

638
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,879
Speaker 4: is fairly impressive. This guy I think helped his draft

639
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 4: stock here, if that's a thing. He's helped his draft

640
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 4: stock here this week.

641
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,800
Speaker 1: Charles Turner the third LSU six three and a half

642
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 1: three hundred pounds. His wings span eighty three and three

643
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,840
Speaker 1: eights inches, which you like to see. Great conversation between

644
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: coach mac Rhett and Ramon Foster with Charles Turner for

645
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 1: you won the OTPI, one of.

646
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: The offensive center stars of this thing. Charles Turner lsu

647
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: glad that you have joined us. And the reason I'm

648
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: so glad that you're sitting at this table with the

649
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 2: Ramone Fosters because I saw an interview with you a

650
00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 2: few weeks ago where you said someone asks you about

651
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 2: the player comp that you like, and you said the

652
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: Pouncy Brothers. You said Marquise Pouncing in particular, Ramon Foster

653
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 2: played eleven years. Ok that guy?

654
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, man, if that's one of your comps, all

655
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 8: I wanted to.

656
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 3: Tell you is dog, Yeah, okay dog.

657
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 8: And I gotta ask you this because pounce and bodied

658
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 8: that the snap and smart. Where did you realize that

659
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 8: was gonna be a strong suit of yours because you're

660
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 8: the quarterback of the line and you set the set

661
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:31,360
Speaker 8: the defense too.

662
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 11: Really, you know, it took me back to IMG really

663
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 11: started off playing Madden, you know, in eighth grade, ninth grade,

664
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 11: tenth grade, just playing around in Madden understanding like little

665
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 11: defensive fronts, four threes based defenses and stuff like that.

666
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,560
Speaker 11: And then when I had went down to IMG, I

667
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 11: had an old line coach named Derek Shea, and he

668
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 11: got me up on the board and just grilled me

669
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 11: really from the jump junior senior year, just kept grilling me,

670
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 11: grilling me and get me right and get me prepared

671
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 11: for the next level. And then when I went on

672
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 11: into college, it just kind of came easy. Really love

673
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:03,840
Speaker 11: that automatically.

674
00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 8: Okay, we talked before you walked up to us too,

675
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 8: as far as position flexibility on game days, how many

676
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:11,880
Speaker 8: actors coach max seven?

677
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: Seven? Well you could have eight now, but can have eight?

678
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 3: You could have eight, but go ahead, But.

679
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 8: The idea of center primary, but if you had the

680
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 8: ability to play guard to where are you staying on that?

681
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 11: Yeah, I can definitely play guard. I feel like this

682
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 11: week definitely displayed that. Put that on show, got some

683
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 11: guard rips in ther team, got some guard rips there

684
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 11: on one on ones and stuff. So I feel like

685
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 11: I'm a very versatile player. I've played tackle, guard and

686
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 11: center over my last five years of college. So I

687
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 11: feel like, you know, you could put me anywhere on

688
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 11: the offensive line.

689
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 8: And on top of that, you ended up changing head

690
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 8: coaches at LSU, going from one system to the next.

691
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: How was that adjustment for you?

692
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,040
Speaker 11: Also, the adjustment, you know, it was kind of rough

693
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 11: at first, you know, coming in with you know, coach

694
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 11: Kelly coming in just being a different type of coach.

695
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 11: You know, we cleaned house, got a whole new coaches

696
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 11: in there, except for the O line coach, which that

697
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 11: was a big piece where he kept Brad Davis which

698
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 11: helped me out a lot. So you know, it was

699
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 11: definitely it was definitely, you know, kind of hard at first,

700
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 11: you know, just getting to getting to know everybody, getting

701
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 11: to know new faces, new coaches and stuff like that.

702
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 11: But once everything got settled in and we got the

703
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 11: ball rolling, it just picked up beautiful.

704
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 3: As you as you settling down here.

705
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 4: I mean, one of the one of the important things

706
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 4: is to be able to stack days, be able to

707
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 4: stack practices. But to stack practices, you've got to go

708
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 4: back and look at the tape the day before, improve

709
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 4: upon something.

710
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:30,400
Speaker 3: What have you what have you taken?

711
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 4: Say one piece, this is what I need to work

712
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 4: on tomorrow. That that the guys are telling me. The

713
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 4: coaches are telling me talk to us about that.

714
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 11: Yeah, So for sure, it was getting my hips on

715
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 11: target and keeping them on target a little bit more. Also,

716
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 11: you know, point of attack emphasis, getting staying low coming

717
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 11: out of my hips, you know, driving and keeping my

718
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 11: feet moving. Also hand carriage at times they felt like

719
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 11: and I also felt like I carried my hands a

720
00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 11: little low, and so I've just been trying to work

721
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 11: on kind of keeping my hands high, you know, chess level,

722
00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 11: not too low because if I if I come too low,

723
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 11: then it reversed me back to grabbing. So it's like

724
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 11: I've just been trying to work on that this week,

725
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 11: you know, trying to stay stay stay disciplined with with that.

726
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 4: That's really really good and insightful because that's important that

727
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 4: you come away after every practice, every film session. I

728
00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 4: can improve on this, and I understand what they're telling me.

729
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 2: Charles, you played big boy football in the South Eastern Conference.

730
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: We know what that is like being where we are

731
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 2: in Nashville. And just to know you, you strike me

732
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 2: as a guy you never lack confidence. We see that

733
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 2: by the way you practice, by the way you play.

734
00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 2: But to know that you get here and to know

735
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 2: that you fit in. Is that a good validation feeling

736
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 2: for you internally?

737
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 11: Yeah, for sure, It's definitely a good validation feeling for me.

738
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 11: You know, my college career, you know a lot of

739
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 11: people kind of doubted me. You know, my first three years,

740
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 11: I was a developmental guy, you know what I'm saying.

741
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 11: I came in, had to develop my body, had to

742
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,160
Speaker 11: get everything situated in or to even hit the field.

743
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 11: So when that time came my senior year, that was

744
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 11: you know, I just ran with it. I took off

745
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 11: with it.

746
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 6: You know.

747
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 11: I just remember, you know, everybody you know saying I

748
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 11: was too small, I wasn't big enough, things like that.

749
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 11: So it was just like h for me, it was

750
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 11: just a determination factor, you know, like I heard all

751
00:32:17,520 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 11: those doubters and heard all those things, and it just

752
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 11: made me more determined to, you know, want to want

753
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 11: to go and grind in the sec.

754
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 8: When it when it boils down and your name is called, man,

755
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 8: what is one of the first things that you want

00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,760
Speaker 8: to do for your team as far as your career

757
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,760

Speaker 1: my favorite interview at media day rud Curse cornerback. Wow.

796
00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:19,000
Speaker 1: And and the guy's just a trip. I don't know

797
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: how else to put it. Is that is that still

798
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:21,840
Speaker 1: a term?

799
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 2: It is it is today right now on the OTP.

800
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,359
Speaker 1: Rud Curse Corner five eleven, one ninety three. I mean

801
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: he's like a character out of WWE. So he can

802
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: shoot a promos what he could totally shoot a promo.

803
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: But you know I teased with him about his uh

804
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: excitement level and his energy and his confidence. Sure, but

805
00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,960
Speaker 1: we've seen that in practice for Max Melton at the

806
00:34:45,000 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 1: corner position, and that's really.

807
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,400
Speaker 4: What you have to have honestly, well, especially at that position,

808
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 4: because that that position is a is a very lonely position,

809
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,800
Speaker 4: and it's it's a it's a very treacherous position, whatever

810
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 4: you want to say, in a very visible position. But

811
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 4: you're right that and that's the reason you wanted to

812
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 4: talk to him. That's the reason you wanted to talk

813
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 4: to him. And then here hearing just and the people

814
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 4: will hear this in a minute. But when you sat

815
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 4: down this morning to say, wow, that was that that

816
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 4: excites me because the kid, the kids, it sounds like

817
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,799
Speaker 4: a confident dude. But out there, out there on the

818
00:35:17,880 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 4: out there on the field, he's a past.

819
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 1: Well he didn't start off with hey brother, see it

820
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,600
Speaker 1: down at the Omni in Atlanta. No, it wasn't that.

821
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: He didn't O No, it wasn't. It wasn't that. But

822
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 1: I think you'll hear it, and I think you'll understand it.

823
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 1: And if you've seen him on the field you're a

824
00:35:33,880 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: fan of what he does. After you hear this on

825
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:41,040
Speaker 1: the O T P, I think you'll like Max Melton cornerback, redcors.

826
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: You're not gonna hit me, are you?

00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,480
Speaker 1: get up in somebody's dish and go after him.

831
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,239

Speaker 6: Of course, he's not going for none of that saw stuff.

834
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 1: So uh yeah.

835
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 12: It trickles down to our defensive coordinator, Joe Harris Semiak

836
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 12: like we call himself the dark Side, and if you want

837
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:09,320
Speaker 12: to be a part of the dark Side, you gotta.

838

Speaker 6: Dark side, Yeah, dark like Darth Vader. Like, that's where

841
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 6: we got it from.

842
00:36:14,719 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 12: So every time the defense takes the field, they start

843
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 12: playing Darth Vader music in the back.

844
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:20,520

939
00:40:30,040 --> 00:40:32,520
Speaker 13: rushers I've never faced before. And it's good to go

940
00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 13: against these guys. You know, it's nothing but a NFL

941

Speaker 13: caliber kind of guys, so it's good to like kind

942
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 13: of get a taste of what that feels like.

943

Speaker 2: So yeah, and you're a two year starter at right tackle,

944
00:40:41,200 --> 00:40:44,120

948
00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 13: but you know, it's definitely something because you know, I

949
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 13: didn't really work too many different positions offseason. But now

950
00:40:55,719 --> 00:40:57,439
Speaker 13: knowing that, you know, I've gone through interviews and seeing

951
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 13: these teams want to see me at different positions, definitely

952
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 13: something I'm going to work off, like getting out of

953

00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,680
Speaker 8: She's like, I gotta go prove that this way.

959
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:17,120
Speaker 13: It's just really showing off like pass protection, you know,

960
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:18,719
Speaker 13: especially in the one on ones. Just want to be

961
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 13: able to show like, you know, I can play that,

962

963
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 13: I can you know, beat these high caliber guys. And

964
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:26,239

Speaker 13: to be a well balanced kind of player.

968
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 8: So yeah, the establishment of the run sets up the past.

Speaker 8: perform from the NFL coaches now every day has been

976
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 8: an interview.

977
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:49,920
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's definitely it's kind of hard, but like also

978
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,960
Speaker 13: you know, it's you gotta go play a game. You

979
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 13: know nothing but just piace in your mind. Just do

Speaker 13: hear like on on like Twitter and all that. You know,

984
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:04,440

00:42:44,760 --> 00:42:46,680
Speaker 13: like kind of like bail and I would say, like,

1002
00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,920
Speaker 13: you know, taking one more set and being able to

1003
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,960
Speaker 13: meet that guy at that certain spot. It just kind

1004
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 13: of helped me like mentally, like you know, trust yourself

1005
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:54,359
Speaker 13: with taking that one more step because it's hard when

1006
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 13: you're going to get a fast dude, and you know

1007
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 13: you got some power to him just being able when

1008
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 13: he takes that edge, like take that one more step

1009
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 13: with them and just be able to wipen that pocket.

1010
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,879
Speaker 4: See that that's a that's a really really valuable thing

1011
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 4: that you've that you've picked up on.

1012
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,439
Speaker 3: Because it is different, it is different in this league.

1013
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,480
Speaker 4: Now knowing that the other thing that's important here, I've

1014
00:43:12,480 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 4: coached here for a lot of years. In this particular instance,

1015
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:20,160
Speaker 4: stacked days. Stacked days, Have you felt that you've done

1016
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,319
Speaker 4: that so far? Day one, Day two, you're going into

1017
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 4: day three. Do you feel like you're improving it in

1018
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:25,320
Speaker 4: stacking days?

1019
00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 13: Yes, sir, I definitely feel that, you know, especially with

1020
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 13: the playbook, it was different, like you know, playbook is

1021
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,280
Speaker 13: stayed like it's just a little bit of different terminology,

1022
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:34,520
Speaker 13: I would say, and just being able to like kind

1023
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 13: of get reps at it. I think it's helping me

1024
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 13: big time because you know, I'm a big guy on

1025
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 13: like just getting reps out of certain play if I

1026
00:43:39,800 --> 00:43:41,440
Speaker 13: don't know, I got to get some reps at it.

1027
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 13: And just doing that within practice from day one to

1028
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 13: day two. Definitely feel better with that. And uh, you know,

1029
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 13: like with pass protection, you know, one on ones. I

1030
00:43:47,960 --> 00:43:50,640
Speaker 13: definitely feel pretty solid with those two coming into day three.

1031
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 8: One thing that helps them your impact and I had

1032
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 8: you circle on my roster list to is the hands violence? Man,

1033
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 8: Where does that come from? Because I'll be honest, which

1034
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,399
Speaker 8: I was a little bit of a grabber. Yeah, get

1035
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 8: the job done. Sometimes in the NFL, coach will tell

1036
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 8: you get the job done. But your punch has been

1037
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,160
Speaker 8: something that's been highlighted. Where did that come from and

1038
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 8: how did you cultivate that?

1039
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1040
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 13: It was definitely me and my coach from Oregon State.

1041
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 13: His name is Jim Hawchick.

1042
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:14,279
Speaker 1: Very good guy.

1043
00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 13: You know, he's coaching the league for a little bit

1044
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 13: at the Raiders, and you know, he's a great guy.

1045
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 1: Me and him.

1046
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,720
Speaker 13: You know, watch a little bit of film from Tristan

1047
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:23,920
Speaker 13: Wursch and you know, another guy with independent hands. He's

1048
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 13: a great person with his independent hands and just watching

1049
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:28,759
Speaker 13: that trying to mimic his play. It definitely helped me

1050
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 13: without with my past rush this season.

1051
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,879
Speaker 8: As far as challenges this week, who's been a guy

1052
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 8: that's been a little bit of a pass We all

1053
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 8: got one man, depending on who they are. It's not

1054
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 8: to say one thing or the other. But the quicker

1055
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 8: you minimize those things, the faster you excel in the league.

1056
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,400
Speaker 8: What is some avenue that you know mine was quicker

1057
00:44:45,480 --> 00:44:47,400
Speaker 8: smaller guys, all right, if I get my palls on them,

1058
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:47,919
Speaker 8: we can dance.

1059
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:48,920
Speaker 1: And it's what I used to call it.

1060
00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,879
Speaker 8: What is something that you know, going into the next

1061
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 8: phase of your life and career that you say, let's

1062
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:54,120
Speaker 8: let's make that jump.

1063
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1064
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 13: So definitely, guys I played here is like Eat is

1065
00:44:57,400 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 13: always a good player to go against, you know what

1066
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 13: I mean. He's a great pass. People like to say that,

1067
00:45:01,400 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 13: and he really is. And he's an active guy. He

1068
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 13: doesn't like you finish one move, he got another one.

1069
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 13: You can get that move, He's gonna have another one.

1070
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 13: And you know, those are just great players in general,

1071
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 13: you know, like you see good pass rush in the league.

1072
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 13: Those are the kind of guys you see. And another

1073
00:45:12,800 --> 00:45:14,839
Speaker 13: guy is definitely the guy from Penn State. I don't

1074
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 13: know his name, but uh, yeah, he's a great player. Yeah,

1075
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 13: he definitely he's a great player. You know, he got

1076
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 13: his speed, he got definitely a bull to him. I think,

1077
00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:23,879
Speaker 13: you know, once he progresses his game a little bit more,

1078
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 13: he's gonna be a great player in the league.

1079
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,880
Speaker 2: So I think so, yeah, Tolly, who do you pattern

1080
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 2: your game after? Or there are there tackles in the

1081
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 2: league that you look to mirror or pick up things from.

1082
00:45:34,080 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 13: Yeah, I definitely just try to like steal things from

1083
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 13: different players. Like you know, there's Pine Pane just always

1084
00:45:39,640 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 13: has a smooth set. That's the thing I'm trying to

1085
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 13: I'm trying to get that a little bit more down,

1086
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,560
Speaker 13: just having a smooth set. And uh, you know Darnell Wright,

1087
00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:48,600
Speaker 13: Uh he's also a good guy. He knows how to

1088
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 13: stop that bull because sometimes he's vertical, says, but he

1089
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,239
Speaker 13: can stop anything really, and uh, Tristan Wurth's like I

1090
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 13: said before the other guy, I just steal kind of

1091
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 13: little things from those guys just to up my game.

1092
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 8: Little super smart you picking guys that are building like you,

1093
00:46:02,360 --> 00:46:04,399
Speaker 8: play like you, and you want to mimic man, that's

1094
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 8: the best way to become.

1095
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,319
Speaker 7: A pro, right there, sir, Yes, I appreciate that.

1096
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 4: Darnell right set that same seat you're in right now. Yeah, yeah,

1097
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 4: before he came out, same seat right there, saying the

1098
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 4: same same thing. So it's it's all out there in

1099
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:17,399
Speaker 4: front of you.

1100
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 3: What are you?

1101
00:46:18,360 --> 00:46:21,359
Speaker 4: Where are you looking forward to now? Not only through

1102
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,239
Speaker 4: this week but then in training getting ready for the

1103
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 4: Combine clearly, but getting ready to go to an NFL

1104
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 4: team because you're going.

1105
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 13: To Yeah, it's just probably I'm ready for those drills, man,

1106
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 13: Like I feel like, you know, team drills always have

1107
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 13: a good impact on me. Like at Oregon State we

1108
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 13: had a lot of good drills, and I think like

1109
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 13: in the run, like those run games we had, uh,

1110
00:46:40,600 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 13: you know, like coach Mahajak set up some good drills

1111
00:46:42,600 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 13: for us, and I think those things helped us and uh,

1112
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 13: you know, get into NFL, I can getting coached by

1113
00:46:46,800 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 13: NFL teams and you know, nothing but upping your game there,

1114
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 13: and uh, I'm excited for that.

1115
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 2: So yeah, best of luck to you in this process.

1116
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for taking your time here at the

1117
00:46:57,040 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 2: recent Senior Bowl this week. He's Tolly Fwanga. He is

1118
00:47:01,280 --> 00:47:04,359
Speaker 2: a right tackle for the Oregon State Beavers. Appreciate your time.

1119
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,080
Speaker 7: Appreciate you, guys.

1120
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 1: The OTP continues with Ray Davis, running back Kentucky. Congratulations

1121
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:17,440
Speaker 1: on a great year for the Wildcat.

1122
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 7: Thank you so much. I appreciate that you.

1123
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 1: Did such a nice job for Vanderbilt in twenty twenty

1124
00:47:22,280 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 1: two and then you went to Kentucky and did even

1125
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:27,479
Speaker 1: more in twenty twenty three. Ray, what do you think

1126
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:32,640
Speaker 1: you showed on top of the twenty twenty two performance,

1127
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,600
Speaker 1: more so in twenty twenty three for sure.

1128
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 14: I mean, you know, I think I was able to

1129
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 14: show my versatility, being able to show that I can

1130
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 14: catch out the backfield and you can put me in

1131
00:47:40,800 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 14: a lot of different positions, whether you know, going against

1132
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,640
Speaker 14: a linebacker and open space, going against the safety, but

1133
00:47:45,719 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 14: also just kind of you know, focusing on trying to

1134
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 14: make guys miss. You know, I didn't do so much

1135
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 14: of that in twenty twenty two, so you know, during

1136
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 14: the offseason, I really want to focus on making guys miss,

1137
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,920
Speaker 14: getting in those tight spaces, getting vertical in a lot

1138
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 14: of my cuts and even in my runs.

1139
00:47:58,000 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 7: But being more patient.

1140
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,520
Speaker 14: I think I had to really let the game come

1141
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:02,719
Speaker 14: to me rather than try to force myself to have

1142
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 14: those good games. And you know, and I have some

1143
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 14: really good athletes, you know, up front and good athletes

1144
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 14: on a on the outside. That made my job a

1145
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:10,760
Speaker 14: little bit easier because you know, you have to prepare

1146
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 14: for them as much as you has to prepare for me.

1147
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 4: Speaking of those things that you talked about now that

1148
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 4: you're here, I mean, you've already you've had a couple

1149
00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:21,280
Speaker 4: of days now of some NFL coaching, a different scheme.

1150
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 4: It's not gonna be a it's not gonna be a

1151
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,480
Speaker 4: very difficult scheme down here. But what have you picked

1152
00:48:25,520 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 4: up so far now? Because you're clearly a really really

1153
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 4: intuitive running back. What have you picked up? Because you

1154
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 4: can always get help. What have you picked up?

1155
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 3: It can help you for sure.

1156
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 14: I mean I was kind of blessed to have that

1157
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 14: transition of offense. You know Liam Cohen being in an

1158
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:42,880
Speaker 14: NFL OC previously before this past season, so you know

1159
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 14: him bringing that offense to translation and just the schemes

1160
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 14: and the nuances of how things is. So when the

1161
00:48:48,040 --> 00:48:50,240
Speaker 14: translated here, I was able to pick that up fairly quickly.

1162
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 14: But just getting coached by the best and being able

1163
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:53,759
Speaker 14: to work with a lot of good guys in a

1164
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 14: running back room. We got some dogs man here, and

1165
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:57,759
Speaker 14: just to be able to pick up their piece of

1166
00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:00,160
Speaker 14: games and their knowledge and how good they are, you know,

1167
00:49:00,200 --> 00:49:02,919
Speaker 14: trying to translate that to my game and then even

1168
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,680
Speaker 14: just to coach, and everybody's having fun.

1169
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 7: Everybody just enjoying this moment. We're all blessed to be here.

1170
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 14: So not trying to be too serious and just not

1171
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 14: overthinking and just understanding it's just a game that we've

1172
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 14: been playing since we were little kids. You know, maybe

1173
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:16,880
Speaker 14: a bigger stage and more more fans, but at the

1174
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:18,640
Speaker 14: end of the day, it's just playing backyard football.

1175
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 7: Once again.

1176
00:49:20,280 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 2: Ray, I'm always interested in the background stories of you guys,

1177
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:26,880
Speaker 2: because the thing that I always like to do is

1178
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 2: humanize you guys. You have you're gonna have the greatest

1179
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,400
Speaker 2: job in the world. People are gonna know your name everywhere.

1180
00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 2: But you're still a human You're still a human being.

1181
00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 2: You still have things happen. Your story in your background

1182
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:41,400
Speaker 2: is ridiculously you could write a movie about it. But

1183
00:49:41,719 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 2: the adversity that you've overcome to get to this point.

1184
00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 2: Do you ever stop and think about that?

1185
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:47,480
Speaker 7: Sometimes?

1186
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 14: I do, But at the end of the day, you know,

1187
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,080
Speaker 14: I don't really celebrate small wins. And for me to

1188
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 14: be where I am today, I feel like this is

1189
00:49:53,480 --> 00:49:55,280
Speaker 14: just another step in the journey. This is just another

1190
00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 14: chapter that I'm writing and I gotta try to finish.

1191
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 14: You know, once I feel complacent and start to accept

1192
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 14: my role or where I'm at, then I think that's

1193
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:04,880
Speaker 14: when I'll kind of start to overthink and just accept

1194
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 14: my and accept my moment. You know, when I was

1195
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:10,160
Speaker 14: a younger kid, I always used to ask God why me?

1196
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 14: And now I finally know my purpose in life. I

1197
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 14: know the journey that I went through, the adversity that

1198
00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,320
Speaker 14: I faced was for a sole reason.

1199
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:18,560
Speaker 7: To be a mentor and a role model to the youth.

1200
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 14: To know that my story will shine bright for someone

1201
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 14: else to step up and deliver their story and to

1202
00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 14: prevail and keep going again. If I start celebrating now

1203
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,720
Speaker 14: and then you know, I won't be able to finish

1204
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 14: the story that I need to make.

1205
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: What are the teams who have interviewed you this week

1206
00:50:34,360 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 1: ask most often?

1207
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:35,799
Speaker 6: Ray?

1208
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,040
Speaker 14: Uh, you know, just you know, kind of like you said,

1209
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:40,160
Speaker 14: what was the transition between going from twenty twenty two

1210
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 14: to twenty twenty three? You know, what did I do?

1211
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 14: Was I dedicated and just kind of asking, you know,

1212
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 14: it was a huge jump from what I put on

1213
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 14: tape in twenty two to twenty three, so you know,

1214
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 14: just kind of asking like what were things that I

1215
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 14: really honed in on? And for me, it was really

1216
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,320
Speaker 14: just being dedicated to my body, being dedicated to the

1217
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 14: nutrition and just taking care of the things that I

1218
00:50:58,920 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 14: need to take care of.

1219
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 7: But also so I knew my weaknesses.

1220
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 14: I knew things that I wasn't necessarily good at, so

1221
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,799
Speaker 14: I wanted to go perfect those things and understand that

1222
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 14: that can translate to the field and can translate to

1223
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:09,880
Speaker 14: the season that I could have.

1224
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: So so much of that decision and that journey was

1225
00:51:12,520 --> 00:51:14,880
Speaker 1: based on where you are now getting ready to be

1226
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:15,200
Speaker 1: a pro.

1227
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 14: Yeah, you know, I just had to battle myself. You know,

1228
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,080
Speaker 14: in my eyes, I'm forever the underdog, and I love

1229
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:23,399
Speaker 14: defeating the odds and proving everybody wrong. And going into

1230
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 14: that decision of doing that extra year was solely on

1231
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 14: that to go out there and show the world that

1232
00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 14: I had a lot of meat left on the bone.

1233
00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 14: But also, I'm still that Ray Davis that I was

1234
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 14: able to put on tape in twenty nineteen. I'm still

1235
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 14: a Ray Davis in twenty twenty two. But I'm gonna

1236
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,280
Speaker 14: show you even more dominant Ray Davis in twenty twenty three.

1237
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,200
Speaker 4: You know, positional clicks in the National Football League or

1238
00:51:42,200 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 4: a real thing, because everybody's talented, everybody is special. But

1239
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,800
Speaker 4: running backs migrate with running backs. You know, offensive linemens

1240
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:52,239
Speaker 4: stick together. I mean, it's just the way it is.

1241
00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 4: Who's a running back that you've looked at just doesn't

1242
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:57,759
Speaker 4: have to be in the league. Now, maybe before that

1243
00:51:57,880 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 4: you say, you know what I'd kind of like to

1244
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 4: emulated for sure.

1245
00:52:01,080 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 7: I mean there will be two guys.

1246
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 10: You know.

1247
00:52:02,560 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 14: First, I started Austin Eckler. You know, he's the definition

1248
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,600
Speaker 14: of heart over height. He's not the biggest running back,

1249
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:10,920
Speaker 14: he's probably in other words, and for most people not

1250
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 14: the skill for running back, but he gets his job done.

1251
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,160
Speaker 14: He maximizes his effort, I mean, maximizes his reps and

1252
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 14: at the end of the day, he is a hard

1253
00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 14: person to cover, you know when you have to try

1254
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 14: to stop him in the run game.

1255
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 7: But also he has the ability to carve you up

1256
00:52:22,280 --> 00:52:22,919
Speaker 7: in the past game.

1257
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 14: I mean, those are just two different, two traits that

1258
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,240
Speaker 14: it's very hard as a defensive coordinator to try to stop.

1259
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 14: And then I like Jalen Warren from the Steelers.

1260
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 6: Man.

1261
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 14: You know, he's behind the future Hall of Famer and

1262
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:34,839
Speaker 14: Naji Harris, but every time he gets the ball, man

1263
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 14: people are afraid to tackle, and people are afraid because

1264
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 14: they know that he's gonna go out there and really

1265
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 14: maximize his reps.

1266
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 7: And give it his all.

1267
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 14: You see him he had a monster block on a

1268
00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 14: Jets sweep in the red zone one game and then

1269
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 14: again the one I think one game, I also watch

1270
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,720
Speaker 14: him cut back to the right side, outrun two people's

1271
00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 14: angles and score a touchdown. So those are two guys

1272
00:52:54,239 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 14: that I really try to just emulate my game behind.

1273
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:57,680
Speaker 14: I'm a guy who's gonna run hard and it's going

1274
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 14: to be troubling when it's trying to tackle me. But

1275
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,320
Speaker 14: at the same time you get me an open space

1276
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 14: and I'm able to catch the ball, it could be

1277
00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:03,359
Speaker 14: a nightmare too.

1278
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,240
Speaker 2: Ray, you sound like a guy who's never satisfied, always

1279
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 2: reaching for the next level. What is it that you're

1280
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:11,880
Speaker 2: working on through this draft process in terms of your craft?

1281
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:12,520
Speaker 3: For sure?

1282
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:14,279
Speaker 14: You know I could always get better at a lot

1283
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 14: of different things. Right now, I want to continue to

1284
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,439
Speaker 14: get better at my passing pro. You know, I technique wise,

1285
00:53:19,440 --> 00:53:20,839
Speaker 14: could be a really good And that's the good thing

1286
00:53:20,840 --> 00:53:22,800
Speaker 14: is you can teach technique. You know, it'd be a

1287
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 14: different story if you sat here and said I couldn't

1288
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:25,879
Speaker 14: pass pro. But if you watch what I was able

1289
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,920
Speaker 14: to do this season, you can tell that I'm I'm

1290
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 14: willing to put my body on the line and protect

1291
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 14: our quarterback.

1292
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:31,360
Speaker 7: I mean, he's the money maker.

1293
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 14: So at the end of the day, if we want

1294
00:53:32,719 --> 00:53:34,600
Speaker 14: to get to the Promised Promise Land, then you got

1295
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:38,279
Speaker 14: to protect that man. So, uh, definitely pass pro. Get

1296
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 14: my technique down, but you know, just continue to shout

1297
00:53:40,800 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 14: out can I can catch? Continue to shut that I

1298
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 14: got hands and I could be a valuable asset. It'd

1299
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:46,840
Speaker 14: be a three down back at all times.

1300
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 1: Red Bryant as Ray Davis leaves, I want to take

1301
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 1: just a second to talk about some of the adversity

1302
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: that that you alluded to in the interview with him,

1303
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 1: And we didn't have a lot of time, so you

1304
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 1: couldn't kind of get into certain parts of the story.

1305
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: But now that we have a little more time on

1306
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: the OTP and that was an enjoyable interview, A very

1307
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: impressive guy. What's the gist of that story with the

1308
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:20,040
Speaker 1: former Vanderbilt and Kentucky running back Ray Davis.

1309
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:25,799
Speaker 2: Born and raised in San Francisco, California, one of fifteen children.

1310
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 2: At the age of eight, both of his parents, both

1311
00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 2: of them incarcerated in foster care. A relative comes forward

1312
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 2: to take a bunch of the siblings and a bunch

1313
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:41,080
Speaker 2: of his siblings and could not take them all, did

1314
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:44,560
Speaker 2: not have the space, so let the younger siblings go

1315
00:54:44,680 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 2: with the relative and ends up being homeless at twelve

1316
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 2: years old. So football has been the vehicle basically his

1317
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 2: whole life to get right here. And you heard his answer.

1318
00:54:57,000 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 2: He doesn't He doesn't talk a whole lot about the past,

1319
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:02,280
Speaker 2: doesn't worry about those kinds of things. He's a driven

1320
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 2: young man, smart young man. Came away super impressed with

1321
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 2: that interview he just shared with us on this OTP.

1322
00:55:10,360 --> 00:55:15,240
Speaker 2: But yeah, adversity is often a story. His is unbelievable.

1323
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,960
Speaker 1: Talk to me, coach Mack for just a second. Sitting

1324
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 1: in the rooms with these players and knowing their stories

1325
00:55:23,080 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 1: of adversity through four decades of doing this and hearing

1326
00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: a story like Ray Davis is unfortunately one we've heard before.

1327
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 1: In certain instances when when teams sort of take all

1328
00:55:36,640 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 1: that in and then they grade the body of work

1329
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:43,520
Speaker 1: of the player on the field at their university or

1330
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 1: in this case universities, how do you sort of process

1331
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 1: all that as a team.

1332
00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:51,839
Speaker 4: That goes right to what drives them. It goes right

1333
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 4: to their character, because when you have and I've and

1334
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,480
Speaker 4: you're right, Mike, I've experienced a lot of it. I

1335
00:55:57,560 --> 00:55:59,840
Speaker 4: experienced a lot of it when I was recruiting.

1336
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 3: So anyway, in the.

1337
00:56:02,120 --> 00:56:05,720
Speaker 4: National Football League, for guys to work through these types

1338
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:08,880
Speaker 4: of obstacles in a personal life, just relate it to

1339
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 4: your own life, thinking of all the advantages we all

1340
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:16,399
Speaker 4: had growing up, and then to go there and then

1341
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 4: to see someone that has moved through massive, massive, obstacles,

1342
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 4: but be blessed enough athletically and then have the inner

1343
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 4: drive to not give up. Makes a lot, makes a

1344
00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,400
Speaker 4: lot of difference, makes a lot of difference in a

1345
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 4: draft room, it does. That's why you have to get

1346
00:56:30,640 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 4: to know the person. You get to know the person.

1347
00:56:34,840 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 4: It makes a difference. It makes a big difference. Just

1348
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 4: like on the other side, if somebody has had all

1349
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 4: the everything physically gifted, but they've always managed to stumble

1350
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:48,919
Speaker 4: along the way because of bad decisions. That also makes

1351
00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 4: a difference too. This guy here, you both, you guys

1352
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 4: both saw it and we all felt it. I mean,

1353
00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 4: you want to you want to cheer for the guy

1354
00:56:57,520 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 4: when you're sitting here talking to him.

1355
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 3: Very very understated, but very very bright. But it makes

1356
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 3: a difference in the room, Mike, big difference.

1357
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 2: But Mac in the interview process, and you heard a

1358
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 2: glimpse of it right there, he's gonna crush these interviews

1359
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:15,399
Speaker 2: because when you start talking x's and o's, he's died.

1360
00:57:15,480 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 2: I mean, because football has been his life, the one

1361
00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 2: it's been his way out, and his one consistency is

1362
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:25,240
Speaker 2: one the one consistent part of his life. So what

1363
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 2: has he done. He's just ate and drank and slept.

1364
00:57:28,760 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 2: He's immersed himself. He has immersed himself.

1365
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,800
Speaker 3: He's he's made it. He's made it his vehicle.

1366
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:37,560
Speaker 4: He's made it his vehicle, and he's he has a

1367
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 4: good way to say it, he's immersed himself in it.

1368
00:57:39,920 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 4: But he's absorbed the fine points of his craft.

1369
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:44,800
Speaker 3: And that's what you know. You ask him, well, what

1370
00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 3: else are you learning? And he could call bam bam,

1371
00:57:47,040 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 3: bam bam.

1372
00:57:47,680 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: So you're saying, if there are four backs on a board,

1373
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 1: when you're gonna pick in whatever round, it ends up

1374
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: being the character issue with him might take him over

1375
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 1: the other three, even if they're specs and special players

1376
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:02,080
Speaker 1: in their own right.

1377
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 4: It's a it's a plus in his column.

1378
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:06,919
Speaker 1: Yeh, because when the chips are down and you're you're

1379
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: starting at your own one yard line, he's not going

1380
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 1: to give up. No, that's a that's a great story.

1381
00:58:12,040 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 1: Very impressive, very impressive. You're gonna pull for that guy.

00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 1: ticketing partner of the Tennessee Titans. SO Titans fans can fan.

1387
00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: I had the chance to talk to Joe Milton, Tennessee quarterbacks.

1388
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,800
Speaker 1: Three years at Michigan, three years at Tennessee, SO, six

1389
00:58:35,880 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: years in college, six five, two thirty five. Everybody has

1390
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 1: seen the tools this week that they expected to see.

1391
00:58:44,480 --> 00:58:47,640
Speaker 1: I think Joe's had a good week in that the

1392
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:54,360
Speaker 1: questions that they need answered about his processing in terms

1393
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 1: of being able to pick up all of the football,

1394
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:01,920
Speaker 1: all of the things about running the team, running an offense.

1395
00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that everything is one hundred percent answered

1396
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 1: for everybody, but I think it's been a really nice

1397
00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 1: first step in the process.

1398
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 4: Well it's it's it's so advantageous for him to be

1399
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,280
Speaker 4: here and and and let me just say this too.

1400
00:59:15,360 --> 00:59:17,600
Speaker 3: And I know the from Afar.

1401
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 4: I don't know him either personally, I've talked to, you know,

1402
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 4: but the relationship he had with Hindon Hooker and what

1403
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 4: Hindon Hooker did when he came down here. Now, Joe

1404
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:30,920
Speaker 4: Milton's healthy, but I think just being able to be

1405
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 4: around people to answer the questions that they have about

1406
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 4: you know, can you handle a huddle? Can you handle

1407
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 4: All of those things are very very important because you know,

1408
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 4: they do the zebra thing down here, and when we're

1409
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 4: looking at that big board while we're at there at practice,

1410
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:45,840
Speaker 4: all the velocity, the far throws, the speed, he's at

1411
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:46,760
Speaker 4: the top of everything.

1412
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 3: We all knew that.

1413
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 4: What you're saying is these these coaches down here and

1414
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 4: these general managers and the scouting departments, they're they're digging

1415
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,520
Speaker 4: in and his thirty visits will be important too.

1416
00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 3: But he's helped himself down here.

1417
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 1: They've got a thing going at Tennessee. Now you're talking

1418
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:06,480
Speaker 1: about Hendon Hooker and Joe Milton Nico. Now with the

1419
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: way that they are interconnected, there you go, and I'm

1420
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:14,720
Speaker 1: sure for Josh Hipel that's really a special thing that

1421
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 1: you know Hendon's back around. You have a feeling Joe's

1422
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:20,760
Speaker 1: going to be back around. They're both there for Nico already,

1423
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,320
Speaker 1: and and there seem to be other quarterbacks, maybe one

1424
01:00:24,400 --> 01:00:28,920
Speaker 1: who's committed from near Nashville, who who seems to get

1425
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: the connection. That's a that's a thing too in terms

1426
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:39,120
Speaker 1: of the processing of the football that they spend a

1427
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 1: lot of time talking ball and if you're if you're

1428
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: in the NFL, you love people regardless of position, who's

1429
01:00:48,080 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: love to sit around and talk ball because that's one

1430
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:50,920
Speaker 1: of the ways you get.

1431
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 2: Better, and it's you know, it's much like the questions

1432
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 2: we've asked a lot of these young men this week

1433
01:00:56,200 --> 01:00:59,560
Speaker 2: at the Senior Bowl is if they've got a teammate

1434
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:02,840
Speaker 2: going through this with them this week, like Brendan Rice

1435
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:06,520
Speaker 2: is with Marshawn Lloyd, both Southern col guys, that's a

1436
01:01:06,600 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 2: valuable sounding board to be able to talk about what

1437
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 2: to expect, the pitfalls to avoid. And then now if

1438
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 2: you're talking about a veteran presence where you've got a

1439
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 2: hindon hooker that Okay, he didn't play in the NFL

1440
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:19,480
Speaker 2: last year, but he's been in an NFL system and

1441
01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 2: building for a year. You don't think I'm not gonna

1442
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:25,160
Speaker 2: listen to that and figure out what's what, knowing that

1443
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna head in the same direction.

1444
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,240
Speaker 4: The thing though, that that Mike brings up it I

1445
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:30,400
Speaker 4: think is really valuable.

1446
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:31,680
Speaker 3: But they're they're from.

1447
01:01:31,480 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 4: The same place, and they're they're they're they're getting a

1448
01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:39,120
Speaker 4: connection there, you know, within and and it's a quarterback culture.

1449
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: It's quarterback culture. That's what i's what you're talking. I've

1450
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: said it better than I did well, and you can

1451
01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 1: hear in this interview that we did. We had some fun.

1452
01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 1: But there's also a part of it that he sounds

1453
01:01:49,840 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: like a quarterback. He comes across and it's like, Okay,

1454
01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 1: I get this. And while he's himself, he's still under

1455
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,320
Speaker 1: stands who he is, that the quarterbacks a different guy

1456
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: in the system, that he's expected to talk, that he

1457
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 1: knows what the expectation is. Listen for yourself. Ot people,

1458
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: here's my visit at Senior Bowl Media Day with former

1459
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 1: Tennessee quarterback Joe Bilton. He's come to a place where

1460
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:21,320
Speaker 1: nobody asks him how far he can throw a football.

1461
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: Joe Bilton, quarterback from Tennessee. Aren't you thankful for that? Now?

1462
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 1: It's all about your play man.

1463
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:29,600
Speaker 15: I'm sorry, but they just asked me that quick. Who

1464
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 15: just asked Washington Commander's interviewer. He just asked me that course,

1465
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:36,040
Speaker 15: literally before I got over.

1466
01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna ask you though, because I know you

1467
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:40,400
Speaker 1: could throw it along way. Yeah I can't actually, yeah,

1468
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 1: But it's about a lot of other skills this week.

1469
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,920
Speaker 1: What are the things Joe Milton is concentrating on recall,

1470
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:50,600
Speaker 1: command of the huddle. Other than that, man's is being me.

1471
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 15: Saw my personality every day, just being blessed, shwing how

1472
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:54,919
Speaker 15: blessed I am.

1473
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 1: What's it like working with that quarterback room of guys

1474
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:02,040
Speaker 1: who are really all star caliber player? It's great?

1475
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:03,840
Speaker 15: You know you get to challenge those guys every day,

1476
01:03:03,920 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 15: challenge their mentals, and also they're going to push you

1477
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 15: to be great. So you got to be great at

1478
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:09,919
Speaker 15: all times because they're gonna come with it.

1479
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 1: As you meet with teams and as you discuss things.

1480
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 1: What do they want to know about Joe Milton? Not

1481
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,920
Speaker 1: how far you can throw the ball? Uh, they know

1482
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: that in us already.

1483
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 15: But personality, my home style, life, you know how I

1484
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 15: grew up, Who who's in my enner circle?

1485
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: Other than that, how smart I am?

1486
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,040
Speaker 15: They actually want to see me talk ball, see how

1487
01:03:31,080 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 15: good my recall is.

1488
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: And you spend a lot of time talking about you

1489
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:37,320
Speaker 1: and Hendon Hooker obviously very close. Josh Heipel thinks the

1490
01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 1: world of you. Uh, the entire sort of Tennessee offensive

1491
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:44,439
Speaker 1: staff has been in your corner from day one. How

1492
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 1: far has your football IQ come since you arrived at

1493
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 1: the University of Tennessee.

1494
01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 15: Man, way, I can say that it's a lot, a

1495
01:03:54,120 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 15: lot stronger than people actually think, you know, based off

1496
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 15: our offense.

1497
01:03:58,200 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 6: People think that.

1498
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,760
Speaker 15: We don't rec or we don't know how to read coverages,

1499
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 15: but you know, just because we go about tempo and

1500
01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 15: go so fast, things like that. But man, like we

1501
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 15: have QB school in the summer. They're actually going over

1502
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,439
Speaker 15: a qv school right now. Uh. You know, I talked

1503
01:04:13,480 --> 01:04:16,439
Speaker 15: with Nico pretty much every other day when I got time.

1504
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 15: But you know, they're going over QB school right now,

1505
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 15: going over coverages. So teams that don't think that we

1506
01:04:21,240 --> 01:04:24,040
Speaker 15: just study coverages or study, you know, how to operate

1507
01:04:24,160 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 15: against the defense, they'll be wrong.

1508
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,400
Speaker 1: Joe, what are you most excited about through the rest

1509
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: of this process leading up to the draft in Detroit?

1510
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,840
Speaker 15: Being able to, you know, talk to coaches. You know,

1511
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 15: there's a lot of great coaches in the league. But also, man,

1512
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 15: just keep showing my personality so coaches can stay connected

1513
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 15: with me.

1514
01:04:43,240 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: You can throw the football a long way. We don't

1515
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: need to talk about that anymore. We know what he

1516
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,200
Speaker 1: can do. Joe Milton, quarterback, University of Tennessee with US

1517
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: at the recent Senior Bone. We've run through a lot

1518
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 1: of it here today Media day was wild. It's amazing

1519
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: how many people are here. Jack Mumbert from our staff

1520
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:07,000

Speaker 1: take care of us. And by the way, lots of

1522
01:05:08,760 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: videos at Tennesseetitans dot com and our YouTube channel, the

1523
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: Titans YouTube channel, all over the place. But he was commenting,

1524
01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 1: he goes, since I've started coming, which is just three years,

1525
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 1: he can't get over how many more people cover this event.

1526
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 3: Well, there's this.

1527
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 4: It's always been big, and it for a minute for

1528
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 4: a while there is it taking a little bit of

1529
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 4: a dip because I've been to every one of them.

1530
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 4: But now with what Naggi's doing, Jim Naggi's doing down here,

1531
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 4: and the way the way this thing is set up,

1532
01:05:39,680 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 4: it's this to me is we said it last year.

1533
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:48,680
Speaker 4: It's extremely well run, but it's extremely well attended by

1534
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:52,240
Speaker 4: not only the media, but all of a sudden, you know,

1535
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 4: you're starting to get some of the better players coming

1536
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:55,840
Speaker 4: in again.

1537
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 1: Well with the juniors here and I think they said

1538
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:03,160
Speaker 1: there were sixteen or seventeen juniors, it's added to the

1539
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 1: level of talent and ret what I've seen in the

1540
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,640
Speaker 1: time that I've been doing both is it used to

1541
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: be Combine number one, and then everything else was a

1542
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,360
Speaker 1: distant second or third or whatever. Now it's Combine number one,

1543
01:06:19,240 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 1: and I think it's Senior Bowl one to A because

1544
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:23,960
Speaker 1: I think what a lot of players have learned is

1545
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:26,840
Speaker 1: the best way to show you can play football is

1546
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,400
Speaker 1: to actually come in play football.

1547
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:34,280
Speaker 2: I mean, ask Cody Malk last year to this year, right,

1548
01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 2: ask Quinn Minors, ask these guys that have shown up

1549
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:43,640
Speaker 2: the Spears, Yeah, who had become the darlings of this

1550
01:06:43,720 --> 01:06:47,200
Speaker 2: thing and really bettered themselves in the process.

1551
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:53,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean tij Spears was thought to be a

1552
01:06:53,600 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 1: sixth round pick probably in terms of what he was perceived,

1553
01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: and he ends up going pick number eighty one. Now

1554
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 1: there have been a one team who would have said,

1555
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:03,560
Speaker 1: we like him so much, we're going to take him,

1556
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: and he went maybe, but certainly he was on so

1557
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 1: many more radars based on what people saw him do

1558
01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 1: playing football in person.

1559
01:07:14,680 --> 01:07:16,800
Speaker 4: Well, the thing that helped that And again we're on

1560
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 4: Taij because we love ty J. I mean, you talked

Speaker 3: Yes.

1565
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 4: The the thing about him was he had a great

1566
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,960
Speaker 4: bowl game at the Cotton Bowl and then followed it

1567
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 4: up with a really good performance here, and then followed

1568
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:38,760
Speaker 4: it up with a really good performance afterwards, and then

1569
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:40,840
