Everybody, Jeff Johnny aclog with top there 0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:34.440 Jim Miller, and we're rolling along through the offseason professional football, 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.240 awaiting the start of where we hope is a normal 0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:39.960 training camp in NFL season. Good to have you alongside 0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.680 once again. We are brought to you by IGS Energy. 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:44.360 Coming up tonight, we'll be joined by a new Bears 0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:48.120 outside linebacker, Trevis Gibson, one of the three fifth round 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:52.080 picks of the Bears, the defensive and turned outside linebacker 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:53.800 for the Bears out of Tulsa. So we'll be joining 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.560 him at about six ten, So that'll be a good conversation. 0:00:57.680 --> 0:00:59.880 Good looking young player for the Bears added to their 0:01:00.040 --> 0:01:03.720 rotation up fronts. Good evening time there, How are you big, 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.600 Jeff doing good? Excited to talk to Trevis. I think 0:01:06.600 --> 0:01:09.880 he's an interesting candidate this year to kind of fill 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:14.000 a Cole comment role on defense because we're not necessarily 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.760 asking you to be a finished product this early in 0:01:16.800 --> 0:01:19.880 your career. We're asking you to come in and be 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.360 part of that pass rush rotation and then learn how 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.080 to play the run along the process of all this. 0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:30.920 So you know Jeff and you got Cole commenting what 0:01:30.959 --> 0:01:33.560 he's able to earn and get the evaluation to be 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:37.120 a first round, second round draft choice. When you look 0:01:37.120 --> 0:01:39.440 at a player like Trevis that went to college and 0:01:39.520 --> 0:01:44.280 gained sixty pounds throughout his college time, man, that's really 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:47.200 interesting to me because there's a couple different ways that 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.800 he's going to gain that weight and he doesn't look 0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:54.000 like he's gained a heavy chubweight. He's gained a muscle 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:58.600 strength size that's led to speed, led to speed. So 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:01.440 that's what I'm looking for. Are in this type of 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.480 this type of weight gah chub weights only for guys 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:10.480 like me me offensive lineman, offensive lineman. They offensive lineman, 0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.760 interior or defensive lineman. They can gain chubweight and it 0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:19.480 can be an asset outside rushers, outside linebackers, doubt defensive rushers. 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:22.400 They're not gonna gain chubweight. I tell you if you 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:24.360 pop them on. And I know you were watching him today, 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:27.200 I was as well. And he's just a he's a finisher, 0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:29.040 you know, he may not be a finished product as 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:31.840 you say, but he's a finisher as a tackle, very aggressive, 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.960 and we'll be looking forward to talk to him. Also, 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:36.839 I want to hear how these rookie minute camp orientations went. 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.040 It sounds like everything's going well. It's a different way 0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.760 to learn, different process. And tomorrow Matt Naggie's going to 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.040 meet the media by way of zoom and we'll learn 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:48.520 a little bit more how what he's seeing and what 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.160 he's hearing. But I think it's a very different way 0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:54.160 to get to know your players time. Unlike these guys 0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.160 all being together in the weight room, are these guys 0:02:56.200 --> 0:02:58.320 hanging out in the locker room. There's there's a lot 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:02.760 of good ways to investigate the process and try and 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.919 get everybody to learn each other. In this method, it's 0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:09.000 very different. Yeah, I think they can do it with 0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.839 less pressure on them because, yeah, you're starting to learn 0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:16.120 your contemporaries by facial recognition throughout the whole meeting process, 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:19.320 and then you're going to be challenged on these meetings 0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:23.600 by coaches making sure that you in the corners paying attention, 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.000 you in the third row, and your zoom meeting, you 0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:29.320 understand what we're saying here. And so those types of 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:33.200 challenges are still there. And then when these guys finally 0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:36.160 get to go through these meetings and come into the 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:39.600 same room, the same meeting room together, they're gonna be 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:43.240 familiar with each other. I think the angst of the 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:45.960 initial meeting is going to be over because a lot 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.920 of these guys will be familiar with each other by 0:03:49.000 --> 0:03:52.320 meeting them through meetings, and you're also going to be 0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:56.040 able to get a judgment on their preparedness. Don't have 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.040 I don't have a guy that I have to ask 0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:00.760 them three times to pay attention or three times to 0:04:00.840 --> 0:04:03.240 give me the right answer of the same material. Well, 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.680 and I'm sure that's part of the evaluation that they 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.520 are able to conduct in these meetings to make sure guys. 0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.200 You know, it's like it's like being in the classroom 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.120 and somebody calls on somebody to answer a question, and 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.440 you know you and I didn't want to answer those questions, 0:04:17.320 --> 0:04:20.400 not in the classroom anyway. Educationally, you know, we all 0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:23.120 live that through the process of professional football, and it's 0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.239 kind of unique because whether you're in the business world 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.640 or you're in the sports world, you're sitting in a 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:32.360 roomfull a room full of your peers and they're being 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:35.400 asked the same questions and they have the same challenges. 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.120 So you know, you're kind of you know, rooting for 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:42.000 the guys as much as you're being you know, getting 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.800 prepared yourself. And that's I gotta say that there's got 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:48.039 to be some similarities in the world of business when 0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:52.600 they're under you know, a pressure filled meeting whatever their 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:56.360 business of choices. Yeah, well, it's definitely a different process, 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:00.000 but you know, there are no excuses, so everybody's on board, everybody, 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:01.880 but he knows what's what's got to be done here. 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.640 And you know you're not gonna hear that. You're not 0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.359 gonna hear it, honestly, from the front office. You're not 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:09.120 going to hear it from the coaching staff because you 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.520 didn't hear it a year ago. They don't, they don't, 0:05:11.520 --> 0:05:16.039 they don't do that. They're about solutions, right. Well, you 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.800 know one thing about it, because the times are so 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.520 unique in the circumstances in which they're working. They're not 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:24.560 gonna make it easier on anybody. They're gonna try to 0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:28.200 challenge these guys. They're gonna see what types of you know, 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:31.159 mental preparation challenges that can we put in front of 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:35.080 you in a group atmosphere that's gonna put similar pressures 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:38.400 on you on the live practice field or in game scenarios. 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.880 And that's what it's about. It's you know, coaches are 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.640 there to teach you, but they're also there to challenge you, 0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:48.200 and then they do get some a little bit better 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:52.039 understanding how you're gonna deal with instant decisions you have 0:05:52.080 --> 0:05:55.240 to make in pressures, pack situations. Tom, if you had 0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.760 a chance to sit here in id the roster a 0:05:57.760 --> 0:06:00.600 little bit, the depth chart and just you know, obviously 0:06:00.640 --> 0:06:04.039 it's it's guesses right now and who's where behind the starters, 0:06:04.040 --> 0:06:06.880 But what is going to unfold when they do get 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.440 on the field, Because I think there's a lot of 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.320 good competition set up here, Gosh, Jeff, I mean a 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:18.760 lot quarter in corner, quarterback, cornerback. If you look at 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.120 two of the most important positions on each side of 0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:24.880 the ball, you're talking about competition at those two positions 0:06:24.920 --> 0:06:28.880 specifically that you can talk about all off season. They 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.960 have the candidates there for the cornerback position to kind 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.560 of figure out who's gonna you know, the cream rises 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:40.400 to the top, and then every Bears fan, every coach, 0:06:40.560 --> 0:06:42.880 every player in that building, they want to get a 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:46.200 better understanding of this quarterback competition. So when you look 0:06:46.200 --> 0:06:48.440 at this roster, yeah, I could sit there right now 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.359 and probably go to a training camp roster and you 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:54.400 get a high percentage of the guys that you think 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.880 will be in the roster in the long run. But 0:06:57.000 --> 0:07:01.039 I think when you look at starting compet Titian at 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.880 key positions, I think it's gonna be a lot of 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:07.240 fun to see how it works itself out. How about 0:07:07.240 --> 0:07:12.400 your whole line, you know they're you know you're talking 0:07:12.400 --> 0:07:17.080 about first of all, the philosophical teaching and coaching of 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:20.280 a new offensive line coach. And when you have some 0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:24.120 guys like Bobby Massey, Charles Leno Jr. That they've been 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.840 around for a few years now, they may have to 0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:30.720 change some things about themselves in order to get the 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.840 job done in accordance to what Juan Castile wants to 0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:37.240 And then when you talk about the podium visit by 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:39.960 Matt Naggie at the beginning of the offseason, and he 0:07:40.040 --> 0:07:42.240 says he wants the offensive line to have a more 0:07:42.280 --> 0:07:45.560 physical of a reputation. That's gonna be a great challenge 0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:48.000 right there, because I think guys like Cody are up 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.400 to that challenge. I think James is up to that challenge. 0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:54.160 So I think the rest of these guys, it's gonna 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:56.480 be okay. If you're in a new position, how do 0:07:56.520 --> 0:07:58.680 you fit in, if this is a new team for you, 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.360 how do you feel about this system? And then about 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.440 you know about the Charles Lenno and the Bobby Massey, 0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.840 two of the elder statements. They have to come off 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.440 this year with a new coach and have a better 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:14.760 season than they finished last year with. That's Tim Fair. 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:17.000 Jim Miller will be along as well from sirius XM 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:19.720 NFL or Radio, moving the chain to former Bears quarterback 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:21.840 and coming back. We'll be joined by a fifth Ron 0:08:21.920 --> 0:08:25.600 draft choice, Trevis gibsoner Bears outside linebacker out of Tulsa. 0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.040 It's all coming up. Our producer tonight is Mike Chen 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:31.160 and this is Chicago Sports Radio six seventy The score 0:08:32.920 --> 0:08:35.480 All right, Welcome back, everybody.

He is outside 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:57.959 linebacker Trevis Gibson. Good to have you alongside the Tulsa 0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:01.440 Golden Hurricane? Now is Chicago Bear? Is that sounding familiar 0:09:01.440 --> 0:09:05.880 now to you? Trevis? It? Does it sound good? Hello? Yeah, Trevis? 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.199 How does it feel to be a Bear? Right now? 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.240 You guys are already gotten through your rookie mini camp 0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.800 virtually anyway? Does it feel real now? Oh? Yeah? If 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:19.160 it was? Amazing? Man? You know, I'm really anxious to 0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:21.600 get up there and get a feel for the environment 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:25.240 and amazing fans and just get ready to spend the 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:29.800 next couple of years of my life there in Chicago. Hey, Trevis, um, 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:31.480 I was reading a little bit about you and they, 0:09:31.520 --> 0:09:33.640 and I was looking at the stats between your junior 0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.040 and senior year. But in between your junior and senior 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:39.280 year you went to the pass rush camp at Von Miller. 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.080 What did that help you a lot? To teach you 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.600 something that you could take and use throughout your senior 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:50.720 season and you'll use throughout your NFL career. Most definitely, 0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.960 you know that that pass or something was truly a 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.840 blessing from God just because it was some of the 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.439 greatest pass users in the game currently that was obviously 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.920 had there in attendance. And I learned so many things 0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:07.480 from watching funds and new techniques and you know, so 0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:10.359 many little things that I didn't really think of beforehand. 0:10:10.440 --> 0:10:14.120 And that definitely helped me my senior year to nearly 0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:17.360 double in my sets. So I was really appreciative for that. 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.320 You know, you you talk about double in your stats, 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:23.800 but you almost doubled your size. You gained sixty pounds 0:10:23.920 --> 0:10:28.679 throughout your college career. You know, not how to obviously 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.240 had to be weight room, good diet, but how did 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.280 you put the weight on incrementally to make you feel 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:37.080 good as a football player and not too heavy along 0:10:37.120 --> 0:10:42.040 the journey. It was really just making sure I ate 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:44.959 the right pools, and I obviously put the right liquids 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:49.280 in my body. You know, I was on protein SHAKEE 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.679 milk SHAKEE, peanut butter jellies throughout the night like this. 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.360 Little stuff like that help many gain weight. And then 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:59.640 obviously putting on the weightlifting behind it obviously helped me 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.319 transform my body. So that was a really long process, 0:11:03.400 --> 0:11:04.880 but I mean, I knew it was something that I 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.560 needed to do in order to be able to compete. Well, 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:12.280 Trevis Jim Miller here, Welcome to Chicago and congratulations obviously 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:14.520 a dream of yours to play in the National Football 0:11:14.600 --> 0:11:18.000 League and with a great organization for for you. I mean, 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.000 how is this your your approach? You know, I know 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:22.960 you can't be with your teammates right now and all 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.000 those things in all this virtual world and everybody's how 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:28.720 everybody's conducting things. But how have you been able to, 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:31.720 you know, to really transfer and make this transition to 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.320 try and give yourself the best chance of success in 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:38.800 the National Football League? Um, I would say, honestly, is 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.680 this you know, being as fun, taking into life stuff 0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:44.560 from the right people that's already been a part of 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:47.480 the league, and just making sure that you know their 0:11:47.520 --> 0:11:50.080 mistakes that they made. I try to avoid those myself. 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:54.520 So it's really just been being open to the new environment, 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:56.520 you know, getting to know the people that you're gonna 0:11:56.559 --> 0:12:00.720 be around. Um, you know, Khalil magit me up, ask 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:02.880 me if I need anything. Man, he was there for 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:05.000 me and little just a little stuff like that, you know, 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:08.839 just getting the field for everybody and being all lives 0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:15.560 a standpoint in terms of learning that defense and to 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.400 give your stance yourself the best chance of success. I 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.360 know about all the weight you've gained and things like 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:23.640 that to get stronger in this conversion. For you, I've 0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.840 been able to maintain that as well, you know, in 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:29.680 terms of what's going to be expected at the next 0:12:29.760 --> 0:12:31.839 level because you have grown so much. You're a lot 0:12:31.880 --> 0:12:34.240 like Roy Robertson Harrison all the way he's put on 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:38.480 and has had a lot of success for the Chicago Bears. Man, 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.720 it's really just saying in shaving, making sure that my 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.200 body is gonna be ready. Now. I don't really have 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:47.000 to gain weight anymore. I'm at the way that the 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:50.440 Chicago Bears want me yet, and it's really just about 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:53.560 you know, finding fine tuning my body up, you know, 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:57.200 getting more cut up. And besides that, it's really just 0:12:57.280 --> 0:12:59.520 staying and sha making something ready so when my name 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:02.280 is called, So, I mean, I'm just taking the day 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.640 by day, really just staying on top of my workouts, 0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:09.959 continue to learn to playbook and it's overall anxious. Trevis 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.760 Skipson our guest here on Bears All Access Jeff Jonnyac 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.320 along with Tom Thare, Jim Miller. This is to Score 0:13:16.320 --> 0:13:20.680 Sports Radio six seventy and this is Bears All Access. Trevis, 0:13:20.920 --> 0:13:24.719 You're a high adrenaline player, relentless. That that's the name 0:13:24.800 --> 0:13:26.720 I just keep popping in my head when I watch 0:13:26.760 --> 0:13:30.880 your tape. Where does that come from? Is that something 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.880 that you acquired over a time or have you always 0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:37.440 played the game that way? Um? I think I've always 0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:42.200 played the game their way. I think after realizing they 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.960 only had one Division one offer coming out of high 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:48.000 school that it's sort of a guy worse Like I 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:51.160 just felt like I had lots of proved and I 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:53.440 think that sort of turned it up and not for me. So, 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:57.120 I mean, now that I'm at the NFL level and 0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:59.480 I'm working hard to stay here, is this is our key? 0:14:00.280 --> 0:14:02.720 Keep getting more some worries I'm gonna keep but becoming 0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:06.640 more descmined, Hey, Travis, under your highlight tape after you 0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.560 finish sacks or tackle for loss, I saw you give 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.840 us this little roll in the dice kind of celebration. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.640 Then I saw one phishing task of a fishing celebration 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:18.920 that Willie Young used to be here, used to do 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:22.880 all the time. What did you What is your post 0:14:23.160 --> 0:14:27.880 sack tackle for lost celebration? You know, the one that 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.520 I'm going to carry with me into the NFL. I 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:34.080 think it's gonna be the thamous one. Is like where 0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.400 I dropped the last ring or last own into my hand. 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:39.480 I don't know if y'all caught that one or not, 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.080 but right, I mean, I really just do the celebration 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:45.960 just for this, for fun man, just to keep the 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:51.120 game finn you know, oh yeah, I love it. Well, Travis. 0:14:51.160 --> 0:14:53.640 What you know when you go through the draft process, 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.280 and I'm sure all the coaches, uh you know across 0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:58.960 the league, you know the poking holes in your game, criticism, 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:01.360 maybe things you need to get better at. What specific 0:15:01.440 --> 0:15:03.920 thing do you think you need to work on and 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:06.040 get better at or what has been a common question 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:09.080 that coaches have asked you or gms throughout the process 0:15:09.080 --> 0:15:11.000 and now what the Bears are going to ask you 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.840 to do to get better. My thing is really my 0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.920 main thing is fun in my placeability. But a lot 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.880 of coaches, in their opinion, think that I'm all. So 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:26.320 it's really just trying to take any techniques, learn new taken, 0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:32.800 opened up my pass rush arsenal obviously, and really just 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:35.880 become more flexible because if I do, that make me 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.320 a better football player. Travis Gibson out to tell us 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:42.040 our guest here on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the score, 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:45.800 Jeff Time, and Jim. I got a couple questions. One, 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.720 I think you alluded to Batman. You're a big Batman fan, right, 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:52.400 that's number one. And just so you know, your teammate 0:15:52.440 --> 0:15:55.120 Roy Robertson Harris loves Star Wars. You guys get together 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.320 on that one. And then so tell me about the 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.240 Batman connection. And then tell us about your grandpa Time 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:03.640 because he's got NFL experience on his resume with the 0:16:03.640 --> 0:16:08.840 old Raiders of the Seventh Man. As far as the 0:16:08.880 --> 0:16:12.800 whole Batman thing, you know, my dog's name is actually 0:16:12.880 --> 0:16:15.320 Bang and that was actually my favorite movie. So I 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.240 named my dog after the Vidda. So I mean I 0:16:18.320 --> 0:16:20.760 like Batman, I like Bang, but if I had to 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.320 choose one, I'm more I'm more of the Bang kind 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.120 of guy, just because I feel like, you know, he 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.120 has a lot of people against him, and I mean, 0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:30.840 I know he's trying to do bad stuff, but I 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:34.520 just feel like, obviously, as I spoke earlier about the 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:36.440 one offer coming out, I just feel like a lot 0:16:36.480 --> 0:16:41.640 of people doubted me and we're against obviously what I 0:16:41.680 --> 0:16:44.920 hadn't playing, So that was that was my main thing 0:16:45.040 --> 0:16:48.720 that hold tweet. I just I'm just ready to dominate 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.560 and show everybody what I can do. And as far 0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:55.880 as my grandfather, I mean, I was really young when 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:57.680 he passed away, so I didn't get a chance to 0:16:57.800 --> 0:17:00.760 really really get to meet him. But from what I heard, 0:17:00.920 --> 0:17:03.880 I mean he played, I know he played defensive tackle, 0:17:04.000 --> 0:17:08.000 and I know that at least from what I heard 0:17:08.320 --> 0:17:11.160 that he was a pretty good football player. So I'm 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.640 gonna try to bring that legacy back and just continue 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.760 to all work that I'm doing. You know, Travis, you 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:19.880 talk about the beginning of your legacy and a lot 0:17:19.920 --> 0:17:22.760 of the complimentary reports I read about you in colleges, 0:17:22.800 --> 0:17:26.639 your willingness to play special teams, you know, that's a 0:17:26.680 --> 0:17:29.560 lot probably the way you're gonna have to identify yourself 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:34.960 immediately here in the NFL. So, I mean, you seem 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.000 to be a guy that played him in college, and 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.320 you obviously have to look forward to this opportunity here. 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:43.800 Oh yeah, it's gonna be a lot of fun. I mean, 0:17:44.160 --> 0:17:47.640 special teams played a real big part of my college career, 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.840 especially the first two years when I wasn't playing defensively much. 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.960 And I'm really excited to basically start the whole process 0:17:55.000 --> 0:17:57.840 over again. You know, learn new stuff obviously, as I 0:17:57.960 --> 0:18:01.560 said earlier, more techniques, just a whole new level of 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.840 the game. So I'm really anxious for that, and it'll 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.760 be I'm sure it'll be a real a real good 0:18:07.800 --> 0:18:13.280 adjournal at Rush Rush from running down on kickoff well Trevis, 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.200 I mean and Jeff touchdown. You're from just a family 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.960 of athletes. Your dad played basketball at Texas, your mother 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.800 ran track at North Texas, your brother played basketball professionally. 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:25.320 And here you say, hey, you know, I didn't get 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:27.760 any offers coming out. It really only had one offer. 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:30.560 Were you just one of those late bloomers for you 0:18:30.680 --> 0:18:34.040 in terms of because your athleticism it runs throughout your 0:18:34.080 --> 0:18:36.320 whole family, is what it is. Were you just one 0:18:36.359 --> 0:18:39.320 of those late bloomers when when it comes to your 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:43.480 maturity and your body developing, You know, I would honestly 0:18:43.520 --> 0:18:46.159 think so, just because I mean only came out of 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.199 high school laying about two hundreds and two hundred and 0:18:49.240 --> 0:18:53.080 five pounds, So you know, obviously the last four years 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.679 I was able to put on basically sixty pounds, and 0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.679 I mean, it isn't no other really explanation for it. 0:19:01.680 --> 0:19:05.359 And my brother was obviously way a bigger in high school, 0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:08.520 and he's obviously has about an answer or to army, 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:13.359 And it was just a matter of me basically getting 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:18.320 the late ghostbart and thankfully I did. Travis Gibson here 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.600 on Chicago Sports Radio six seventy the score of the 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:23.920 Bears outside linebacker making that transition. You know, they kind 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:26.000 of felt you played a bit out of position, giving 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:28.280 your skill set, size and your ability to bend the 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.439 corner and get on the edge of guys. So the 0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:33.200 Bears have a vision for you. They have a plan 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:36.320 for you, and that's usually means a very good thing, 0:19:36.359 --> 0:19:38.400 because if you don't have a plan for a draft pick, 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:40.919 sometimes you get kind of tend to get lost in 0:19:40.920 --> 0:19:43.960 the shuffle a little bit. Is that encouraging to you? 0:19:44.359 --> 0:19:48.280 And it really seems to bother you that you had 0:19:48.320 --> 0:19:51.840 that one scholarship because even in the fourth round comes 0:19:52.400 --> 0:19:55.240 your old teammate Reggie Robinson gets picked in the fourth round. 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:57.280 I think that tweet came out in the fourth round 0:19:57.440 --> 0:20:00.919 at Travis Gibson on Twitter. If you're interested and following Travis, 0:20:01.440 --> 0:20:04.520 I can feel the chip on my shoulder growing. So 0:20:04.880 --> 0:20:07.200 are you going to play with that chip the rest 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:11.440 of your career? Oh? Man, I'm gonna I'm gonna play 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:13.640 with that ship. But the time to hang the place, 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:17.040 so man, And I mean, you know, I'm respectful to 0:20:17.040 --> 0:20:20.600 everybody's opinions and stuff, but I just felt like, um 0:20:20.880 --> 0:20:25.159 opportunities for passing by, and obviously emotions can get played. 0:20:25.240 --> 0:20:28.920 But I just know that the results of the chip 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:31.800 that I had last time when I did get passed 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:35.600 up in high school, it obviously propelled me to expect 0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:39.040 that I'm comfortable with, which is now giving myself an 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:42.080 opportunity to play in the NFL. So the names gold 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:43.600 up to try to get in the Hall of Fame, 0:20:43.680 --> 0:20:48.800 and that's the next that's the next destination. You know, Travis, 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:51.920 everybody has a list of strength and weaknesses under them, 0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:55.400 but I run a strength where it said reactive agility 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:58.600 is your best strength. I think that's probably the highest 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.080 compliment you can get now days as an end man 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.199 on the line of scrimmage because of all the RPOs 0:21:04.240 --> 0:21:06.480 and the different type of pass rushes you're gonna face. 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:10.840 So is that a process of learning your position or 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:13.640 is it just becoming more familiar with the way college 0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:19.119 offenses are run today. It's really just becoming familiar with it. 0:21:19.200 --> 0:21:23.040 But obviously you have to have um quick initial instincts. 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:27.520 So um, I think it's really just you know, knowing 0:21:27.960 --> 0:21:30.119 knowing the offense that you're going to be playing. That 0:21:30.359 --> 0:21:33.160 obviously gives you a one up in the game because 0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:35.600 then you get to know the tendencies that they have, 0:21:36.480 --> 0:21:39.960
