1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: A local grocery establishment where yeah, people were a mask.

2
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: It was awesome. People wear masks everywhere, and then just

3
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: people right on top of each other, Like wait a second,

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: you know it's it's not either or it's both mask

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: and social distancing. Do both of those and hopefully we're

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: gonna be moving in the right direction. I am your host,

7
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: John Harris, football Analyst. It's Sad the reporter and glad

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: to be with you. We have got a jam packed

9
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: show today for you. Again, it's our celebration of the

10
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: off season when we had the opportunity to talk to

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: a number of players throughout and today we have those

12
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: four you're gonna hear later in the show from DeAndre Carter,

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: who tugs out my heart strings because as he was

14
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: kind of in between things with the NFL and going

15
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 1: from practice squad to fifty three man roster to being

16
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: released to getting back up practice squad, he spent time

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: as a substitute teacher in Sacramento with the Sacramento State

18
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: he spent time as a teacher, and I think he's

19
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a whale of a teacher slash coach if

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: that's what he decides to do when his football career

21
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 1: is completely and totally done. I think he is gonna

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: be a fantastic member of whatever institution he decides to

23
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: join at whatever level, whether it's teaching and coaching little

24
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: people at the elementary school level, middle school, high school, college,

25
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: all the way up. DeAndre Carter is going to be

26
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: a fabulous leader and he's gonna be a whale of

27
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 1: a coach and teacher. But he's a substitute teacher, and

28
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: those people always tug at my heartstrings. Give him my

29
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: background spending seven eight years as a teacher both in

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and also one year here in Houston. That's for

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: a different time and date, I would suppose, So DeAndre

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 1: Carter going to join us. Also in our middle segment,

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Nakens is going to stop by. Drew Dory had

34
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with him and also get

35
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: into some twelve questions with Jordan Nakens. So we are

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: a little bit of that interview. You have a full

37
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: interview on this show tonight, so we'll have them on

38
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: the show. But we are going to kick it off

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: with a man that a lot of people think is

40
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: growing in stature, has grown in stature and has become

41
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: one of the top five most important Texans on this

42
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: roster in twenty twenty and beyond, yes, J. J. Watt,

43
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson. We know those two players in particular, Whitney Merciless,

44
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: and there are a number of great players along the way.

45
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: But you can make an argument that Justin Reid has

46
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 1: become one of the more important players. None of that

47
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: as teams in the organization, just as a member of

48
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: the organization. He is a wonderful individual to have around

49
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: a Dpcity had a chance to catch up with Justin

50
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: at some point during this offseason, and it's it was fabulous.

51
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: I don't know that we played the full interview for you.

52
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: I think we maybe played a couple of snippets when

53
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: we had the interview, and I maybe it's about a

54
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: month ago. They're all kind of running together. I just

55
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: again realized today, Oh it's July second. Oh my gosh,

56
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: Fourth of July holiday and a couple of days. And

57
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 1: I say holiday because it's gonna end up being on

58
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: a Saturday, So I guess you were getting that day

59
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: off anyway, So which makes the question fourth to July

60
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 1: falls in a weekend. You get the day before, the

61
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: day after off. I don't know, I have no different

62
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: places have done in different ways. See, if you're a teacher,

63
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: you just get the whole summer off. I don't know

64
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: about this year. This year is probably a little bit different,

65
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: but I digress. Justin Reid has been fabulous in as

66
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: two years as a starter for the Texans, and he

67
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: played twenty twenty with that torn labram ended up missing.

68
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: I want to say it was the Colts game that

69
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: he missed, and boy, we really missed him that night

70
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: in that game against the Colts. Got to win, but

71
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: not having Justin Reid on the field is that's a

72
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 1: massive deal. And he hurt that shoulder, that labor against

73
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: the Lions in preseason practice and Justin had one of

74
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: those years where it started with the car accidents. So

75
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: we missed a couple of days as they made sure

76
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: he was fine at the beginning of training camp, and

77
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: then they got him in you know, into practice. Everything

78
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: was moving along, and then against the Lions he hurt

79
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: that shoulder, ended up having surgery on that shoulder this

80
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: offseason and hopefully he's gonna come back ready to roll

81
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: for season number three. A big one for him, a

82
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: big one for the team obviously started thinking about contract

83
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: situations once you get into year three. Justin read is

84
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: that important to this team, and he spent some time

85
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: with dep City. So here we go. Tell me about

86
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: school being an online student, full time student. What's that

87
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: been like? Is it easier? Is it a harder. I'm

88
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: to be honest with you, I'm more of a in

89
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 1: class type of guy. I'd much rather be sitting in

90
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: the classroom physically, so that way, I don't have any

91
00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: excuses for getting distracted, you know, right now easy to

92
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: kind of just pause the video. But the nice part

93
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: about it too is that it does allow me to

94
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: still do all the other things, like be able to

95
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: be out with my philanthropy and and still focus on

96
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 1: training and still be able to do all my class

97
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: time at the same time. So it is a little

98
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: bit different. I'm not the biggest fan of online school,

99
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: but you know, it's a new normal. It's what we've

100
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: got two years under your belt now, it's hard to

101
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: believe that that was. You know, you're year in year

102
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: three now, when you look back on that rookie year,

103
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: where do you think you've grown the most? What have

104
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: you learned the most about myself? Really really, I say

105
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: I grow on the most in stepping into more of

106
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 1: a leadership role as far as being very commanding of

107
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 1: the playbook, being able to make all the calls, being

108
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: a player on the field that the other guys will

109
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: know and look up to, and be able to be like,

110
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: I know Justin Ree's gonna be on the field, he's

111
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: gonna have my back. You know he's gonna have me

112
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: over the top. If he's says he's going to be

113
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: there for me in this spot, I know he's going

114
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: to be there during the place, and really just having

115
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: that camaraderie with all of the guys. And then when

116
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: you first get there, you know you're still wet behind

117
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: the ears, just trying to learn your way. And now

118
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: I've been here three years going on to my third year.

119
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: I have my routine set, I know where everything is

120
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: in the building. I know exactly what I need to

121
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: do for myself personally to get prepared for every game.

122
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: With film studied, everything like that, it just all feels

123
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: very natural and fluid. You say wept behind the ears,

124
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 1: but it seems like when you're a rookie you just

125
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: sort of eased right in. You didn't seem like a

126
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: rookie when you were talking to the media, you didn't

127
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: feel like a rookie on the field. I didn't feel

128
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: like one either, you know, I felt like I had

129
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: a lot of prep with that with my older brother

130
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: playing in the league, and I felt very familiar with it.

131
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 1: But it was still a new experience. It's still you

132
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: still have to learn the tricks of the trade of

133
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: transitioning from being a college athlete to a full time

134
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: professional one past two seasons, you've dealt with your share

135
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: of injuries, wrist injuries, shoulder injuries. Your teammates vooted you

136
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,320
Speaker 1: the d Blood Courage Award winner because of everything that

137
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:05,919
Speaker 1: you battled through, all the adversity to get back on

138
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: the field. And you only missed one game in your

139
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: two seasons. As a text and tell me, how are

140
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 1: you health wise? What has this offseason been like for

141
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: you getting a little bit of arrest. Yeah, this all

142
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: season has been one hundred percent about getting back healthy.

143
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: It's been that kind of nice that I've gotten to

144
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: really dial in on focusing on both my wrists and

145
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: my shoulder. And you know, this is a this is

146
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: a rough sport that we play. You know, there's one

147
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 1: hundred percent injury rate. But if you're doing the things

148
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: to take care of your body and you shape back

149
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: and just have a little bit of that grinder's mentality,

150
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: just knowing that you want to be on the field.

151
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: You say I missed one game, that's one game I

152
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: wish I had back, because there's nothing worse for me

153
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: than sitting on the sideline because I just want to

154
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 1: be on the field, out there with all the guys,

155
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: just having fun and making plays. But the shoulder has

156
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: been doing great. I'm actually ahead of schedule the last

157
00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: time I talked to my trainers and my doctor, so

158
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: the mobility and everything's going well. Is it easy or

159
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: harder to work out right now? It's definitely it's unique.

160
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: I love I love the word, like, even if I

161
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: wasn't playing football, I will work out as a hobbyue

162
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: just because I love working out, you know. I mean,

163
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: it is a little bit more fun when you have

164
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 1: all the guys around. You're just kind of having a

165
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: good time while you're doing it. Um, but no, it's

166
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: just normal. How about for rookies watching right now, the

167
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: Texans will have a few new additions to their team.

168
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: What's your biggest words of advice to them. My biggest

169
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: words of advice for them is to stay ready, be

170
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 1: ready to take advantage of your opportunity, because your opportunity

171
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: will come at some point. I don't know when. You

172
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: don't know when, but it will come, and when it

173
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: presents itself, you need to be ready to take advantage

174
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: of it. So even though we're quarantined right now, make

175
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: sure you stay active, stay fit, um, don't make any

176
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: poor choices, and be able to put your best foot

177
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: forward whenever you step on the field with us, whenever

178
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: that may be later this year, all right, justin you

179
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 1: do so much work in the community. I saw you

180
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: recently packaging and helping distribute meals for kids, Meals, inc.

181
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: And that's just something that you've always been really passionate about.

182
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: Why is it so important to you to give back

183
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: to the community, and especially in these days? Yeah, I

184
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,560
Speaker 1: felt like growing up, I've had a lot of help

185
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: from mentors, people I've looked up to, big brothers, both

186
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: blood and not blood, kind of looking out for me

187
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: and showing me and giving me like a role model

188
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: to look up to, and just a lending hand whenever

189
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: I needed it. So the biggest thing for me to

190
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: pay homage to what the people before me have done

191
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: for me is I want to be able to do

192
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,439
Speaker 1: that for other people. So that's why philanthropy has always

193
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 1: been I'm a big part of me. I love working

194
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: with kids. Everything I do almost always has something to

195
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: do with the next generation, whether that be laptops to

196
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,720
Speaker 1: the Next Way for students coming through, or the kids

197
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: Meals thing, or working with the candle lightist Houston, which

198
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: are three of my favorites. I just love to stay active.

199
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: It's important to me to want to give back, and

200
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: that man has definitely done that this year other years,

201
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: he is becoming one of the most visible Texans out

202
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 1: in the community for all the different things that he

203
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 1: has done. Justin Reid has been everything we could have

204
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: hoped when he was drafted in the third round. I

205
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: remember that night going to the third round, thinking about, man,

206
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,439
Speaker 1: we haven't drive with the last team to draft in

207
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: that draft in twenty eighteen. We're like, God, what are

208
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: we gonna do? Third round? Here we go, what's gonna happen?

209
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 1: And then I get it. We get a text It's

210
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: gonna be Justin Reid from Stanford. I'm like wait a second,

211
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: Justin reis but picked yet. We're the third round. How

212
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: is Justin Reid not been picked yet? And then the

213
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: card is handed in. I'm like, man, we just got

214
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: an absolute steal in the third round in Justin Reid

215
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: and he has been all that aunt a bag of chips,

216
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: as they said, all right, Speaking of twenty eighteen third rounders,

217
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: Justin was joined in that round by Martinez Rankings no

218
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: longer with the team, but late in the third round,

219
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: the last pick of the third round for the Texas.

220
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: They had three of them that year. It was a

221
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 1: tight end receiver, tight end receiver kind of a mix

222
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: from UCF by the name of Jordan Aikins. Now he's

223
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: older than everybody else because he went and played Major

224
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: League baseball and then realizing that you want football was

225
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: what tugged at his heart strings, and so he decided

226
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: to get football a try. He dominated his final year

227
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: at UCF. They had a tremendous year that twenty seventeen year.

228
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: Jordan Aikins then went to the Senior Bowl. Played four

229
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,960
Speaker 1: the Texans coaching staff in that Senior Bowl. Main the

230
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: impression of Texas made him their third round pick and

231
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: Jordan Aikins spent time with Drew Doherty this soft season.

232
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: Some pretty good stuff here from the tight end from UCF.

233
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: Will have that for you next right here in Texas Axis.

234
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: Welcome back to our Thursday edition of Texans All Access.

235
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,160

00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: put sharing some interviews with you that we had with

237
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: players throughout the off season, and one of the more

238
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: fun interviews that we ended up having was Jordan Aikins.

239
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the show. I am John Harris, Football

240
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: Analyston's sideline reporter and each of you two show Called

241
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: in the Lab podcast with Drew Doherty Called in the

242
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: Lab and one in the Lab. Drew said, Hey, I

243
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: got Jordan Nakins coming up, so we're gonna have to

244
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: cut this off. So okay, texted me afterwards it was like, Dude,

245
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 1: Aikins was absolutely awesome, and that's no surprise. I've had

246
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 1: a chance to catch up with Jordan after a couple

247
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: of big ball games he's had. I'll never forget when

248
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: we went out to La last year to take on

249
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: the Charters after Week three. Jordan Nakins has those two touchdowns,

250
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,079
Speaker 1: has the one where Sean escapes and throws across his

251
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: body and the Nakens scurse touchdown. So he was our

252
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: player of the game. And I was talking to him

253
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: just outside the locker room, and right as we were

254
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: in the middle of our interview, all of a sudden,

255
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: I hit yeah, yeah, man, that's good bleep, that's good

256
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: bleap man, and I would look over I was like, yeah,

257
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: that's Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg just interrupted our interview to

258
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 1: find Jordan Nakins to slapping five congratulate him. I thought

259
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: it was really cool. I can't tell you exactly what

260
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: he said because I don't think it's allowable by FCC regulations,

261
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: but just know that Snoop was pretty happy for Jordan

262
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,440
Speaker 1: Nakins as I was. Now, Jorde Nakins sat down with

263
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: Drew Dohrty and some really good stuff came out of this.

264
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: Take a listen. This is Drew Dohrty with Jorde Nakins

265
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 1: and nice little twelve questions at the end as well,

266
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 1: how are you doing? What are you doing? Man? I

267
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: am in and I just uh, I just flew back

00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: into Houston. Actually, um, I've been in Orlando training and

269
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: with family, so you know, um, trying to avoid this

270
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: crisis that's going on right now. I hear you. Well,

271
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 1: it's good to see that you're healthy and safe and

272
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: you've been around family. You say you've been training with family.

273
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: What have you been doing and who is this? Who

274
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: are these family members that you're training with? Oh no,

275
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: I actually have a trainer down in Orlando. Okay, family.

276
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: You know, my family has just come down sometimes Orlando

277
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: where we're from Georgia. We live in Georgia. Okay. I

278
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: thought you had some like some some more super athletic

279
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: cousins and brothers or something that you might have been

280
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: working on. Oh no, I've been training with tray Kuan Smith,

281
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: my college teammate. He plays for the Saints. Now, okay,

282
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: you've been so so you're back in Houston for a

283
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: little bit. What's the virtual offseason program been like? Y'all

284
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: started that up on April twenty seventh. You're gonna go

285
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: for another week or so. How's that? How's that been

286
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: for you guys? It's been fun. It's been a lot

287
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: of communication, a lot of communication, a lot of new

288
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: terminology and everything going on with the offense, and you know,

289
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: the new OB series that's coming and you know some

290
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: of the new veteran players, we're all just trying to

291
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 1: get on one accord. So the meetings has been going

292
00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: well as far as learning, and you know me, I'm

293
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: a visual liner, so you know, I like to walk

294
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: through and stuff like that, so I kind of missed

295
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: that side of the game. But as far as like

296
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: communicating and getting on one accord on that, on that level,

297
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 1: it's been going well. Yeah, thanks to that technology. We

298
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 1: all have zoom discord all that stuff. It's like you say,

299
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: you can do it and you can learn it kind

300
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 1: of in a semi visual sense. But what's been the

301
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: best part of that, you know, going get together virtually. Uh,

302
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 1: I would say just really building relationships. You know, the offense,

303
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: you have to have relationships, you know, especially with D four.

304
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: You know me and him are interacting a lot, and

305
00:15:55,840 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 1: he's interacting with the wide receivers as well. You know.

306
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: UM is great because you know, some some questions we have,

307
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: you know, whether it's coverage or whether it's about all

308
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: fans who you know, our opponents, and you know we're

309
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: just we've been preparing, you know the best way that

310
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 1: we can. You know, you know this pandemic that's going on,

311
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 1: and you know everyone's been participating. You know, no one's

312
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, not participating. So that's that's the best part

313
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: of it. And everyone's just getting on one accord and learning,

314
00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: you know, learning and communicating and try to get the

315
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: ball gone. Yeah, you just brought up to Shaun Watson

316
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: and you have been a part of two really major

317
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: plays with him last year with the Chargers in the

318
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: year before that with the Eagles where because of some

319
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, some some improvisation, something spectacular happened. But that

320
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 1: would not have been possible had you guys not been

321
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: putting in this time that you do. Because you're talking

322
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: about how he works hard, you're obviously working hard. That

323
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: chemistry that you build through the spring, the summer, the

324
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: lead up to the season, it's pretty huge, isn't it. Yeah,

325
00:16:57,680 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 1: it's very huge. You know, it's not just on the

326
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: ll this off the field as well. Um, the more

327
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: the stronger your relationship is, the stronger your connection is

328
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: going to be. On the field. Um. You know, sometimes

329
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,199
Speaker 1: you know, if you'll know, if I you know, want

330
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:11,640
Speaker 1: to break you out or you know, keep her out

331
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: on or sometimes I kind of know what he wants

332
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: to do. You know, Sean, he's a leader, and he

333
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: points us in the right direction, and he gets us

334
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: in the right you know, he points us in the

335
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 1: right direction. He gets us in the right offense, you know,

336
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: compared to the defenses. So we use that to our advantage.

337
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: You know, you brought her up a moment ago about

338
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: all the new faces on offense. What are the capabilities

339
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: you think for you guys as a unit in twenty twenty. Um,

340
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: as a unit, I think we definitely have threats everywhere. Um.

341
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's just not as you know, the wide

342
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: receivers or quarterbacks. It's it's the entire offense. Uh. You know,

343
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: the old line is looking very good. You know, everyone's

344
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: putting in work, putting in the time, and um, you know,

345
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,959
Speaker 1: the offense, the wide receivers, tight ends, running backs, we're

346
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: all getting one accord. Uh, and we're just you know,

347
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: we're just trying to head in the right way, you know,

348
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: the Texans. We we keep trying, you know, we keep

349
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: building and keep building and trying to you know, just

350
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: trying to perfect the offense. Tell me about the tight

351
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: end group. What's it been like meeting as a unit?

352
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: You know, You guys have an interesting room. You, Darren Fells,

353
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Thomas, Khali Wearing. I mean you really you proved

354
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 1: and you showed how important you guys are, especially in

355
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: the red zone scoring opportunities last year. But what's the

356
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: room been like this offseason? This virtual offseason? Because you

Speaker 1: professional sports elsewhere, and then you've got Thomas and Wearing.

360
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,119

374
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: to improve the most as a player this year? This

375
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: year it's been, um, my weight. I've I've been trying

376
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,919
Speaker 1: to gain weight and maintain speed and as far as

378
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 1: getting my body right. Um, I've really been focusing on

379
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: my body. Usually we don't have this much time, so

380
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, we usual to be back, you know, going

381
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,639
Speaker 1: tots and everything whatnot. But now I'm actually able to focus.

382
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 1: You know, I've been doing a little yoga. I've been um,

383
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, I've been just stretching a lot more, really

384
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: taking care of my body, and it's been working in

385
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,680
Speaker 1: my best entries. So I'm excited to see what it

386
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 1: looks like in the season before the pandemic started, we're

387
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: able to do yoga like in a class setting or

388
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: was it? Yes? Yes, I actually did it and I

389
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: did yoga and Georgia, uh um, Florida and here in Houston.

390
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,480
Speaker 1: How'd that go? How do people react when they see

391
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,119
Speaker 1: you come in the room. Because I've heard about NFL

392
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: players yoga classes over the years, and there's always it

393
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,880
Speaker 1: seems like there's an interesting reaction from the rest. Yes, Um,

394
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, actually my girlfriend, she she really introduced me

395
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,400
Speaker 1: to like hot yoga. Um. I'm usually just doing normal yoga,

396
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: and normal yoga hurts for me. But um, hot yoga

397
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: you know, it's just loosens the muscles, you know, it's

398
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: it's better. I think it's better, you know. Um that's

399
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: my opinion. But um, a lot of people look at

400
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,719
Speaker 1: me like, it ain't no way this guy gonna make

401
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: it through the session, you know, and it'd be so

402
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 1: hot in there, and I usually go in like with

403
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,800
Speaker 1: a hoodie like I have on now, and you know,

404
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 1: like some yoga pants or like some sweat shorts or something,

405
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 1: and they just be like watching me. And when they

406
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 1: see me like keeping up with the class, they I think,

407
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: I you know, kind of amaze them a little bit.

408
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 1: Maybe someone. Yeah, it always, it always is a good

409
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,680
Speaker 1: story when you guys talk about your yoga class experiences. Okay, Well,

410
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: what was your reaction initially when you saw the twenty

411
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: twenty schedule come out on Thursday for the Texans? Uh?

412
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: I see it as a challenge. Um, you know, we

413
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 1: love challenges. A lot of people, you know, you know

414
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,359
Speaker 1: how the media put us. They put us last and everything,

415
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 1: and you know, we don't really get the recognition that

416
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: we should get. But we see it as a challenge

417
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: and we have a great opponents that we're facings. So

418
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: it's going to be really good competition this year and

419
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: we look forward to the challenges. Man. You know, Um,

420
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 1: we got a great game to kick off the season Thanksgiving.

421
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: You know, we got some good competition. We gotta the

422
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: entire schedule is competitive, and you know the NFL is

423
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: competitive period. But you know, as Texas, we're looking forward

424
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,719
Speaker 1: to just getting these wins in and you know, hopefully

425
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: be Plentefedwhere is there a game you look forward to

426
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: more than than any other? Um, I would say I

427
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: would have to go to Kansas City because you know,

428
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: the playoff game and I was injured that game. So

429
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 1: I'm just I just want to come out, you know,

430
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,560

432
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: be nice. It'd be nice if you kind of did

433
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: a do over of what you did first time you

434
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 1: played there. Remember that was your your professional debut. It

435
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: was in the preseason. But you caught a couple of touchdowns. Yes, sir,

00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: But uh, let's move on to your favorite baseball player

493
00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 1: when you're growing up. Favorite baseball player, I would have

494
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 1: to say Andrew Jones. Andrew Jones, Okay, because you're a

495
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: Georgia guy, Yes, you were a center fielder and he's

496
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: a center fielder. Yeah, I wouldn't. I'm a twenty five

497
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: growing up baseball play centerfield, drafted as a centefielder. This

498
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: has always following him. I think he's one of the

499
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: more underrated players right now, Like he was. I think

500
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: he was maybe properly rated during his playing days, but

501
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: it's like since he's retired, people have forgotten how good

502
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: he was, don't you You kind of agree, Yeah, I

503
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: definitely agree. Uh, he's always been underrated, but he always

504
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: came through clutch for the grade, you know, whether it

505
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: was moving to base, moving to run his own base,

506
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: or bringing runs. He had a great arm from outfield,

507
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: check the ball. Well. Um, I took to him a lot.

508
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: You know, he was an outstanding player and a lot

509
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: of people, you know, growing up, I always thought he

510
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 1: was from you know, the US. He's from Dominican Republic. Yeah,

511
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: and so you know that that was something else that

512
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:13,400
Speaker 1: interested in me because you know, I used to play

513
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: in Dominican Republic for baseball as well. So I just

514
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 1: Andrew Jones. He's just always been my favorite player. Yeah,

611
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: I've asked this. I've done this interview with a lot

612
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 1: of folks, and it's like the go to question I

613
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 1: always ask. And one of your former teammates now, Taiwan Jones,

614
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,480
Speaker 1: he had not cooked in three years. So that was

615
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: that was the leader in the players section. And then

616
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: I interviewed a former text and a guy named Chester Pitts.

617
00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: He's he was an original text, and he has not

618
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: cooked in twenty years because he's been married since college,

619
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:27,400
Speaker 1: and he says his wife was basically, yeah, yeah, so

620
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: you're doing you're doing. Okay, you're you're writing with most

621
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 1: of everybody else, I got you. I like I like.

622
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: I like my food better than a lot of restaurants

623
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: for so, okay, when I see my man Chester Pitts,

624
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: it's been twenty years, good grief. I think it's been

625
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 1: twenty minutes for me. My wife does a lot of

626
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: the cooking, but I will, I will serve up some stuff.

627
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 1: Last night, did some salmon on see your plank on

628
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: a grill? Yeah? I did that. So Chester Pitts, man,

629
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:59,360
Speaker 1: we gotta talk. But that was pretty cool stuff there

630
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 1: with or Aikins. Okay, we go back. We're going to

631
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 1: go around the NFL. A couple of stories. Cam Newton

632
00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: has spoken, is that the right way of saying what

633
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 1: you do on Instagram? Well he's spoken in that thought

634
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 1: of his And we'll also hear from DeAndre Carter as well.

635
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: Right here, Texas All Access one final segment of this

636
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,520
Speaker 1: Thursday edition of Texans All Access. From the Crib, I'm

637
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: your host, John Harris football analyst and sideline reporter. And

638
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 1: before we get to DeAndre Carter, let's go around the

639
00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: NFL one. I guess major piece is Cam Newton talking

640
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: kind of. He didn't really talk with the media. He

641
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 1: did with a lot of athletes, and people do now

642
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:08,160
Speaker 1: when they have something to say. He went to Instagram

643
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: and I don't know where Cam has gotten this funt,

644
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,320
Speaker 1: but I'm going to luckily NFL dot com translated for me,

645
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,800
Speaker 1: which is good because I could see some of it.

646
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: But man, there's so many oomlots and a symbol. I

647
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: don't know either way. Camp talking about his deal with

648
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,479
Speaker 1: New England. Now, this is not a huge money deal

649
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: for signing with New England. His current deal, it's worth

650
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 1: seven point five million. That's a maximum if he hits

651
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: every single incentive in it. Now, I don't know we're

652
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,840
Speaker 1: all incentives, but I know a lot of things on

653
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:55,000
Speaker 1: there end up being like wing MVP, getting the AFC

654
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: Championship game, winning a Super Bowl, hitting a certain yardage component,

655
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: all those kind things that are different incentives. Now, this

656
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 1: might be shows up for work every day. I don't

657
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: know how the incentives are going to be structured. Who knows,

658
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: But if you hit some seven point five million dollars.

659
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: It's a base salary of one million dollars and just

660
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 1: five hundred and fifty thousand dollars guaranteed. That is going

661
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: to be a steal. If Cam hits right for the Patriots,

662
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 1: that is a steal. So Cam went to Instagram and said,

663
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 1: in that quote, it's not a lot of things money

664
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: can't buy, but stressing your words money and but amongst

665
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,840
Speaker 1: the top of that list of things you would find

666
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,320
Speaker 1: respect All Caps as one of those. This is not

667
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:54,480
Speaker 1: about money for me, All Caps, it's about respect. Now

668
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:59,840
Speaker 1: I've heard from my brother in law family living in Charlotte,

669
00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:01,759
Speaker 1: there was a lot of concern last year whether Cam

670
00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 1: had actually played his last football. You've been beating up

671
00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: so much. The foot was a lot worse than people knew.

672
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: But at five hundred and fifty thousand dollars guaranteed, that's

673
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 1: it on a one million dollar base salary with a

674
00:36:16,719 --> 00:36:20,360
Speaker 1: bunch of incentives. If you're the Patriots, there's no doubt

675
00:36:20,400 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: you'd take a shot. If you're Cam Newton, there's no

676
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: question you jump all over that because hey, you've got

677
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity to jump right in there and start maybe

678
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 1: maybe not right away, but by the time things get cooking.

679
00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: Worst case Cam doesn't. If the Patriots, what's the what's

680
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: the worst case scenario? Cam is still banged up. It's

681
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: just not there, and you're out five hundred fifty thousand dollars.

682
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: I know to U and I five hundred fifty thous

683
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,600
Speaker 1: dollars sounds like a lot, but it's NFL teams dropping

684
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 1: a bucket. Best case scenario for Patriots is what Cam

685
00:36:56,239 --> 00:37:00,200
Speaker 1: is healthy, crushes it hits alls incentives and you to

686
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: pay him seven and a half million. And by the way,

687
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,440
Speaker 1: if Cam is healthy, the Patriots are going to be

688
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: a really, really rough out. So Auburn Tiger fans take

689
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 1: your pick. Jared Stidham, Cam Newton, have at it. There

690
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: you go, all right. So Cam spoke through Instagram and

691
00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: said he is doing this for respect, not for the money.

692
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: All right, It's time to get to our interview of

693
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 1: our substitute teacher. And man, he could be a substitute teacher.

694
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 1: He should be a permanent teacher when his NFL career

695
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 1: is all said and done, and that is DeAndre Carter.

696
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 1: Dpcity had a chance to catch up with him and

697
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: talk about his life as a substitute teacher and then

698
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,960
Speaker 1: moving on into the NFL. I know that you used

699
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: to be a substitute teacher or the story's been sort

700
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 1: of out and about, but I've never talked to you

701
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: firsthand about it. Tell us how you got into substitute teaching,

702
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: because it was during your NFL career, right right right,

703
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 1: So after my rookie season, I was in camp with

704
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,279
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. They let me go coming at

705
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: the end of the preseason, and I was looking for

706
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 1: a job or do something that I could do that

707
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:01,839
Speaker 1: will allowed me to have some flexibility to go out

708
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: and go to workouts if I had to fly, you know,

709
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,400
Speaker 1: to a different state. And I have a you know,

710
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:11,279
Speaker 1: a long time friend kind of like my older brother coach,

711
00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 1: a mentor. UM. He's a head counselor at Martin Luther

712
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,279
Speaker 1: King Middle School in Hayward, California. And I was tell

713
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,960
Speaker 1: him about the situation how I needed some flexibility. He said, man,

714
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: just comes other two at the school, and the principle

715
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 1: there was great allowed me to come and go when

716
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,240
Speaker 1: I needed to. UM and anytime you get to impact

717
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 1: kids or you know, help kids, especially you know, a

718
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: rough area that I was in. Uh, definitely a great thing.

719
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 1: You're pretty young yourself. So how old were you when

720
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:42,560
Speaker 1: you were doing that. I was twenty two, okay, so

721
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: you're not that much older than some of these high

722
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 1: school kids. Yeah. Right. So what were you like as

723
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,040
Speaker 1: a substitute teacher, because I remember when I was in

724
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:49,880
Speaker 1: high school, the substitute teacher just sort of came in

725
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 1: and put on a movie and nobody really did anything right.

726
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: But you were not that type of substitute. No, I mean,

727
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:57,399
Speaker 1: you know, I came in and the kids kind of knew,

728
00:38:57,440 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 1: you know, I played football in the NFL things like that. So, um,

729
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: I would say I had a little bit easier than

730
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 1: a lot of substitutes, you know, having a little bit

731
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 1: of instant respect, a little bit of respect from the kids. Um.

732
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,440
Speaker 1: But you know, just having the platform that we have,

733
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: kids are gonna listen to what you gotta say and

734
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,000
Speaker 1: the knowledge that you can, you know, in part on

735
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 1: their lives. So um, you know, I just look at

736
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:22,799
Speaker 1: this opportunity to you know, to help kids. I would

737
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: push them on, push them, you know, towards your dreams,

738
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: whatever it is that they want to do. Um. And

739
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:30,279
Speaker 1: seeing you know, somebody like me that has reached you know,

740
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 1: some of the level that they're trying to get to,

741
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,920
Speaker 1: or you know, I had a certain level of success. Uh,

742
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna listen to it. So so what did you teach,

743
00:39:38,040 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: because it seems like you taught a lot of different things.

744
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: You weren't just specializing in one subject. Yeah. Different. I

745
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: had history classes, English classes, Uh, a couple of math classes.

746
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 1: That was all over the place. Was that hard to do?

747
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,520
Speaker 1: Were you always a good student? Uh? It was. It

748
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 1: wasn't as hard as I thought it was gonna be,

749
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: because you know, you go to you know, whatever the

750
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: lesson plan is for the day, you go over the information.

751
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 1: You know that you know that stuff, and then you

752
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: you know, teach it to the kids. Um. But I was,

753
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean I was an average student in school, honestly.

754
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: Did you have a subject that was your favorite when

755
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 1: you were like, oh, I like teaching history. History was

756
00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 1: pretty fun. Um, just because where we're at, you know,

757
00:40:23,239 --> 00:40:27,400
Speaker 1: in our country right now, Um, you can come up,

758
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,320
Speaker 1: you can come up with a lot of great debate topics,

759
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,439
Speaker 1: you know, with the kids, and you get to see

760
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: what their perspective is on the different issues that are

761
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:37,839
Speaker 1: going on you know today, and you know, you might

762
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: not think that kids pay attention to those things, but

763
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, listening to them, they have interesting perspectives on

764
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, what's going on. Oh that's it's like a

765
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: little bit of a current events mixed with history as well.

766
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,200
Speaker 1: All right. I read somewhere that you also got some

767
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: kids ready for a speech competition. Yeah, so you know,

768
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:55,920
Speaker 1: we had a we had a couple of kids, um

769
00:40:56,200 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 1: at the school who were you know going. I had

770
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: to had to write a speech right to you know,

771
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 1: a speech about you know, they're pretty much their life

772
00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 1: growing up. An opportunity to help them, you know with

773
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,920
Speaker 1: the you know, the grammar of their speech and you know,

774
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,719
Speaker 1: getting their points across um, you know, which is pretty good.

775
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,320
Speaker 1: And you know, the kids did a great job. It

776
00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: was a great experience for me. All right. So then

777
00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 1: while you're doing all this, you're still trying to get

778
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: a try out in the NFL. So how did that work?

779
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,680
Speaker 1: So I will work out you know, in school is

780
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: eight to three, um. So it gave me the flexibility

781
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: I was talking about, giving an opportunity to go and

782
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: still be able to work out after school got out. Um.

783
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,320
Speaker 1: And then when teams called, you know for a workout.

784
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 1: I would fly out you know that day or the

785
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,880
Speaker 1: next day. UM and Miss Fernandez, the principle at the school,

786
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,520
Speaker 1: UH was really great about letting me leave when I

787
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 1: needed to and will all right. So then you get

788
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 1: the call from the Texans. You were not substitute teaching.

789
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 1: Actually you were with Philadelphia. You were released and then

790
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 1: you got picked up by the Texans pretty quickly. What

791
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 1: was that like for you coming to Houston. It was

792
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: a great opportunity. Now I looked at it as a

793
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 1: great opportunity. It was kind of you know in the

794
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: middle of the season. You know, it gets kind of

795
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 1: dicey with you know, moving to a whole other state,

796
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, in the middle of the season. But um,

797
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 1: I was excited. You know when I came here, they

798
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,040
Speaker 1: were on a winning street and I was decided to

799
00:42:17,120 --> 00:42:19,279
Speaker 1: be you know, a part of a playoff continuing team

800
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: and be able to get out there and contribute. And

801
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:23,799
Speaker 1: it was good to know that, you know, the team

802
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,680
Speaker 1: had the confidence in me as a player to bring

803
00:42:26,719 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 1: me in like that the middle of the season. So, um,

804
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: I was excited for the opportunity and really good to work.

805
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: I would imagine you're sub to teaching and steady skills

806
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,560
Speaker 1: sort of helped you get get caught up on the

807
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: playbook or whatever the game plan for the week was too. Yeah, definitely, definitely, Um,

808
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,000
Speaker 1: you know, study skills. I mean that's any player you

809
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: know coming up, you know, you go through college, you

810
00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:47,840
Speaker 1: go to school and you learn those different study skills

811
00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:51,239
Speaker 1: and it helps you learn the playbook wherever you end up. Um,

812
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 1: you know, quicker and uh, you know, I kind of

813
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 1: feel like I got a pretty high football IQ. So

814
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 1: that helps supply too. I know John Harris had mentioned

815
00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 1: to me once he was noticing before or play you

816
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 1: came in on offense and the way the receivers were

817
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:06,440
Speaker 1: lined up. I think DeAndre he might not have been

818
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: in on that, so everything was shifted a little bit.

819
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: But you were telling guys where they needed to go,

820
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,200
Speaker 1: like who was out of position. But you seem to

821
00:43:12,239 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 1: have gotten a really good grasp of picking things up,

822
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 1: even quicker than some of the guys that had been

823
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: here for a while. Yeah, you know, I've you know,

824
00:43:18,120 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 1: been through a few systems in the NFL. You know,

825
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: it's up some of the younger guys, you know, if

826
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: this you know whether it be your first offan, this

827
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,800
Speaker 1: first year in the NFL. You know, it can be difficult.

828
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: It's you know, the substantial, substantial amount of information more

829
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:32,879
Speaker 1: than you gut in college. You know. So when I whenever,

830
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: if I know something, I'm able to help. You know,

831
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 1: another guy out on the field. All right, I'll do
