1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: I've been a fan from far for a long time. 2 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: Gray Lewis and read those guys are my favorite player 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: growing up. So I've always kind of had an operation 4 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: for the Ravens. You know, when they called, I was 5 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: I was very interested if you never worked with Gil 6 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,080 Speaker 1: out so that I can become a Raven. For some reason, 7 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: there's a matter of how al must production you have 8 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: when you turned to certain names, you know, guys are 9 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: trying to get rid of you before you know that 10 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: you just can't do it anymore. But that's a good 11 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,080 Speaker 1: motivation for me because I'm always trying to prove them wrong. 12 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: I just think that he's gonna be the perfect fit 13 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 1: personality wise, performan's wise, He's just gonna bring so much 14 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: to this defense. Welcome into the lounge. We are thrilled 15 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: to have a guest. All right. It's been a little 16 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 1: too much of me and Garrett, lit little too much 17 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: to just the two of us. If there's you know, 18 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: there's more than two days that I have to just 19 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,199 Speaker 1: talk to you, I started to lose my mind a 20 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: little bit. I think everyone's kind of going a little 21 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: bit crazy right now. But when we have four straight 22 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: days where you're the only person that I can talk to. 23 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: I'm definitely losing my line. So don't you talk to 24 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,760 Speaker 1: your wife. Don't you talk to your wife. She is 25 00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,319 Speaker 1: at work. She is a health care worker, so she 26 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 1: is actually one of the people who is out there 27 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: on the front lines, out there working every day.

That's the hardest part of the job. 31 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 1: Coming she goes to work. She doesn't even have to, 32 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: she just goes to work just to get away from me. 33 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: I think, in all honesty, uh, we we do thank 34 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 1: the front line workers and Christie included.

I 76 00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: was excited about it. You know, I've been a fan 77 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: from far for a long time. You know, Uh, I 78 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: grew up a big you know, like I mean Ray 79 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: Lewis and read those guys who are told my favorite 80 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 1: players growing up. So I've always kind of had an 81 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: operation for the Raven. So you know when they called, 82 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: I was I was very interested and been able to 83 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: work a deal out so that I could become a Raven. 84 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: You know, I was very very excited about it. Did 85 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 1: you have any hunch over the past weeks or months 86 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: that the Ravens could be interested? You know, because to me, 87 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: Ryan and I had talked about this as soon as 88 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: your name started to kind of come up on the market. 89 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: Both of us said, the idea of you coming to 90 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 1: Baltimore is like the perfect fit. It's like the ultimate 91 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: Ravens movie. You just seem like a Raven. Did you 92 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: feel like there was any possibility of that? You know, 93 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,360 Speaker 1: if you go back a few weeks, I mean, I 94 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: didn't expect to get traded anything. So I mean I 95 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: didn't expect this to happen. Maybe not maybe next year, 96 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: after after I went to free agency or something, but 97 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: not before. But you know, I mean, this this business, 98 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: it was unique and things happened all the time. Um, 99 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: you know, I never really you don't really anticipate anything. 100 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: You guys are ready for whatever happens. But I'm so 101 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: glad that, you know, if I'm gonna get trade, I 102 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: got traded to a team you know, like that have 103 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,839 Speaker 1: so much sharing talent, so much potential, so much of 104 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: an opportunity. You know that, Uh, you know the biggest 105 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 1: goal for me and my point in my career right 106 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: now is to win a championship, you know, and I 107 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: know obviously everybody that's something you're saying, You're gonna win 108 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: the championship, you know. I topic end of the years 109 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 1: thirty two teams that are all planning and hoping to 110 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,919 Speaker 1: win the championship. But I feel like the Ravens have 111 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: a legitimate chance and I'm happy to be a part 112 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: of it. So what are your emotions like right now? 113 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: Because you know, hearing you talk about I never expected 114 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: to get traded like that can sometimes I can feel 115 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 1: like a shot to some guys. You know, you can, 116 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: you can take it a little personal. You know, what 117 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: what are you feeling right now? Well, I mean I 118 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,679 Speaker 1: feel like, you know, there's uh, it's better than getting 119 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: like so like to me, like I figured if I see, 120 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: like you know, I pay attention to that's a lot 121 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: of sports, and I pay attention that people get traded 122 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 1: and I seem like the forest bucket trying for a 123 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: first round pick. And I'm like, in the back of 124 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 1: my mind since I was young, I was like, man, 125 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: I wonder what I get traded for. If I got traded, 126 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 1: it was like a really high draft pick. But I'm 127 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: propletly fine with uh, you know, with the way I 128 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 1: went down. I know I'm gonna be thirty four years 129 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: years old this year. For some reason, it doesn't matter 130 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: how how much production you have. When you turned to 131 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: a certain ames, you know, guys are trying to get 132 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 1: rid of you before you know, they just can't do 133 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: it anymore. But that's a good motivation for me because 134 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm always trying to prove them wrong. And I see 135 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 1: like the Tom Brady, you know, he's still motivated that 136 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,400 Speaker 1: we're forty three years old, you know, and that inspires 137 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: me because I'm like, I'm still young. It's still like 138 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: I'm in my pride. You know. My body feels incredible, 139 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: so I get it. Everybody else is like, you know, 140 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 1: I mean in their mind, they can't they don't know 141 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: how it feels. So there's just so many I'm gonna fall. 142 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: But to me, I feel like this, you know, I 143 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 1: remember finding my game, right. Yeah, we're gonna talk more 144 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 1: about that, So hold onto this thoughts that I gotta 145 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 1: I gotta ask you one more on that. Like, so 146 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 1: when you saw that it was a fifth round pick, 147 00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: were you like what what? Yeah? But but probably was 148 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:05,359 Speaker 1: like that. I was a little bit surprised, but I 149 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: will say, uh, you know I did. It's all circumstantial, 150 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I have a big cap number 151 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: and we were able to bring that down with an extension, 152 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:16,000 Speaker 1: which was nice. And so there's a lot of things 153 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: that moved aparts to it. But I have to justify 154 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: for myself. Isn't that bad? So class. One thing that 155 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: has been cool over the past couple of years is 156 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: I've seen you interact with current players on the Ravens 157 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:30,960 Speaker 1: at the Pro Bowl. You got to interact with the 158 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: coaching staff who was there this year, Link Martin Dale, 159 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: John Harbaugh and the Ravens had twelve players there this year. Um, 160 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: you got to know Brandon Williams a couple of years ago. 161 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: We got a great video of him interviewing you at 162 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: the Pro Bowl. Back.

I think, you know, I think 325 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: the NFL goes off of the masses, you know, the 326 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: majority of people, you know, uh, you know, I mean 327 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: it just it seems like when got starting thirty that 328 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: they don't play as good. I understand that, you know, 329 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: but there are some like few who do well, you know, 330 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: and it's not it's not a small number. It's pretty good. Also, 331 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: like a few who can still play well into the thirties. 332 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: You know. I feel like my best football has come 333 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 1: over the edge of thirty, you know what I mean 334 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: the last two years, I feel like I've really kind 335 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: of been in uh in my ultimate prime and uh, 336 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: you know, and I was thirty one three, you know, 337 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: So I'm hoping I can keep that going. But I do, 338 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: I will say, though, I mean, you know, I get 339 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: I get why you know why just that way. I mean, 340 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: the majority of people don't play well to our thorties, 341 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 1: but I spent so much time and effort take care 342 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: of my body. You know, I'm I mean, eat, sleeping, everything, football, 343 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 1: Everything is football. So you know, I got me with 344 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: my family and you know, and my faith and all 345 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 1: that stuff that goes into it. But you know, I mean, 346 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 1: they they're the same. I mean, they left football too, 347 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: So this is uh a big part of my life. 348 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: And I don't expected I mean, I don't know when 349 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: it's so comfortable me, but I'm gonna writer to the 350 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: worlds follow off. Yeah, why do you think you've been 351 00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: able to have so much success, like hit your prime 352 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,440 Speaker 1: maybe a little bit later even then some guys in 353 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,520 Speaker 1: your thirties, I mean fourteen the half sacks where you 354 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: were like a six to ten sec guy. Where the 355 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: hell did that come from? Yeah, I mean, I guess 356 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: I've always got a been a late bloomer, you know. Uh, 357 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: you know I was, you know, I just I feel 358 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: like body wise and stuff, for me, I definitely lost 359 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 1: the step. I'm not as athletic as I used to be, 360 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: but you know, I had a lot of athleticism, so 361 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 1: losing the step. I'm still a good athlete. I'm still 362 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: like a really really good athlete. I can still do 363 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,439 Speaker 1: things that you know, uh for Simon, you know, can't stop, 364 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,919 Speaker 1: you know, and so that that plays a big row. Uh. 365 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: Plus I'm a lot smarter, you know. I mean that 366 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: the wisdom experience plays a big role, you know, being 367 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 1: able to set guys up, you know, being able to 368 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, get them do what I want them to do, 369 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: and then take advantage of it. I mean, I mean 370 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:21,199 Speaker 1: that's kind of when it comes down to it is 371 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 1: the college. You know, it's caught up, and I'm still 372 00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: a good athlete, so I'm amber to do what I 373 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: want to do. So class, you want to introduce fans 374 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,600 Speaker 1: a little bit too, uh you off the fielding in 375 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 1: your personal life, you grew up in a big family, right, 376 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: one of the kids. Yes, how did that? How did 377 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: that shape you? Was it constant competition and rivalries going 378 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 1: on in the house when you were growing up? Nothing? 379 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: But I have five brothers were all within seven half years, 380 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: so the six boys with the seven half years, so 381 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: we're all close in the age and I might in 382 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 1: the middle. So you know, I you know, I always 383 00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 1: had somebody to compete with, somebody, you know, uh just 384 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: I mean go out and play sports with you know. 385 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: I mean we did every sporting the man, and we 386 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,360 Speaker 1: competed at the highest level. And they're all really good 387 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,680 Speaker 1: athletes too, So you know, I really feel like that's 388 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: advantage I had, you know, I mean, I got a 389 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,040 Speaker 1: chest to develop by the young games. Just compete with 390 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,320 Speaker 1: my brothers, the biggest of the family. I am the biggest, 391 00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 1: you know, those they're more speed and like roll supposed guys. 392 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,640 Speaker 1: You know, I'm the guy. I got the most eyes. 393 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 1: So what did your older brothers think? You know, I'm 394 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: sure they probably takes on you just like any older 395 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 1: brother does when you were a kid, and then all 396 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: of sudden you grew up in your six ft eight, 397 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 1: three hundred pounds kids. Yeah, I definitely there was a 398 00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: point in time I got bigger than my older brothers 399 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: and I could kind of you know, I I fly, 400 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: I can hang. You know, they stop. They stopped picking 401 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 1: on me, that's for sure. So on a serious nucleus 402 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,879 Speaker 1: that I mean, I heard you know part of your 403 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 1: story that your incredible background is that you spent in 404 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 1: your family time and a homeless shutter for half a 405 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 1: year when you're in junior high. How did that shape 406 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: you into the man that you are today? Uh? I 407 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: think the biggest part of that is that I learned 408 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,200 Speaker 1: that I can handle anything, you know. Like I mean, 409 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,080 Speaker 1: obviously there are a lot of worse things and living 410 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: in homba shelter, you know, and it was a family 411 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: homa shulter, so I got to stay with my family. 412 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: It wasn't too bad, you know, It's not like I 413 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: was on the street and anything. But you know, I 414 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: learned that I can handle you know, anything, you know. 415 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: I mean as a family, we stayed together and my 416 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: dad did a really good job and making sure that 417 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 1: we understood this is Tipperary and that we will be okay, 418 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,880 Speaker 1: just think tough, you know. But it gave it developed 419 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 1: that mentality that no matter how bad he's getting, no 420 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: matter you know, what you're going through, if you just 421 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: uh you know, stay cent of course and uh, you know, 422 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: focus on small things and being who you are so 423 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: true to yourself, you know that you can you can 424 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,679 Speaker 1: get out of it.

Campbell 523 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: just an awesome guy. I mean, uh, you see why 524 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,719 Speaker 1: the Ravens have said that they've he's been on their 525 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,680 Speaker 1: radar for a really long time. And uh, I feel 526 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: fortunate that we're able to get him here on the 527 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: back nine of his career. We're not gonna stay at 528 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,639 Speaker 1: the end of his career, in the back nine of 529 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,600 Speaker 1: his career. Just really excited to meet him in person. 530 00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: Kind of a funny story. After we stopped recording, he said, 531 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: this whole process has been crazy. He had to go 532 00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:01,359 Speaker 1: to FedEx, actually stand stand in the FedEx signed his 533 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: contract and send it back that way. I made sure 534 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,480 Speaker 1: that he washed his hands before and after. We're totally safe, 535 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 1: so that I think we're good all right. Uh, but 536 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 1: just it's wild how careeravirus is affecting everything. Yeah, I mean, 537 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: it honestly is. And I agree with you. I mean, 538 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: he just seems like an awesome dude. Um, he's you know, 539 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: I thought it's It's always interesting when a guy comes 540 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: to a new team. It's just like a lot of emotions, 541 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: like a little bit disappointed about getting traded and you know, 542 00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: that's kind of a little bit of a shock. Um, 543 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 1: but then also excitement about joining a new team and 544 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 1: getting a new contract and having all, you know, kind 545 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,680 Speaker 1: of those first day of school butterflies that I'm sure 546 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: he has right now. So it's always interesting to talk 547 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: to a guy, uh in a situation like he's in. Um, 548 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: you know, but like you said all week, I just 549 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,399 Speaker 1: think that he's gonna be the perfect fit personality wise, 550 00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: performance wise, He's just gonna bring so much to this defense. 551 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: So I'm excited to having the Baltimore No question, do 552 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 1: we need to send Tony Jefferson a thank you? Carter? 553 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: We should? Man TJ. Like I said to Clay, it's 554 00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,880 Speaker 1: like Tony has been one of the most active recruiters 555 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 1: in free agency. And uh, I think that just speaks 556 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,439 Speaker 1: to the kind of person he is to be honest 557 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:16,280 Speaker 1: that he was. You know, he was released a few 558 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: weeks ago, and for him to still basically put in 559 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 1: a word of recommendation about the Ravens and the organization, 560 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: I think that speaks to Tony and his character and 561 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 1: then also speaks to the organization as a whole. So um, 562 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,440 Speaker 1: that was pretty cool to hear that.
