1 00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:08,800 Speaker 1: How is it going, guess, so after vodium do I 2 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 1: leave or Okay? Michael Pittman, Jr. University of Southern California, 3 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,360 Speaker 1: how's it going, guys? So to finish what you were 4 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: talking about? UM, So, I think I left off when 5 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: I was talking about speech therapy. So that's just something 6 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: that I did throughout elementary school and then I lost that. UM. 7 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,280 Speaker 1: I lost that resource like after I graduated, because they 8 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: don't really have that in junie or they don't have 9 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: that in UM UM like upper like UM upper level classes. 10 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: So UM, and I just kind of worked on it 11 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 1: myself with like reading books UM out loud, just talking 12 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,680 Speaker 1: out loud, and just trying to be more UM vocal 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: and kind of being forced into situations like this where 14 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: UM where UM where UM I have to public speak. 15 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: So that just helped me develop that UM develop it 16 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: more so, no problem. Yeah, Yeah, I've I feel like 17 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: they don't talk about the fact that I'm actually faster 18 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: than what they want to give me credit for. So 19 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 1: so so yeah, that the speed, I mean, I don't 20 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: want to put numbers on it, but let's just say 21 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: that I think people are gonna be shocked at the 22 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: combine what do they think, Um, I'm thinking that they're 23 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: thinking four, uh yeah, four six, like four or five 24 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 1: like like uh like a high four or five. Well, 25 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: like I said, I'm not gonna put numbers on it, 26 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: but uh no, so um it's funny like how that 27 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: happened because as soon as Kea didn't got or like 28 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: as soon as he didn't like went down, like I'm like, 29 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: oh wow, like this supposed to be a bad game, 30 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: and uh then it was completely the opposite and we 31 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: had a pretty good game that game. Game. UM yeah, 32 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: probably that uh probably that long seventy seven yard pass. Um. 33 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: It was just a strong catching um and um and 34 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: um run and it just showed the finish. So so 35 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 1: I g that's probably the best play like that game. 36 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: Yes they are, um, most of them haven't, but um 37 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 1: um Terrell has because we like trained so uh like 38 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: I have might always give them trash about that. So 39 00:02:54,760 --> 00:03:01,240 Speaker 1: thank you guys. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean, UM, we're 40 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: all just trying to um separate and uh everybody is 41 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: so talented that there um that they're um that they're 42 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 1: making that pretty hard. So you just gotta keep on 43 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: doing things to put yourself forward. And you gotta just 44 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: work us on Earth. You have to focus on, um 45 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: working yourself so well, I'm not gonna rank myself, but 46 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 1: I think that I'm pretty good. Like within those guys, 47 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: what do you think to transition to like the NFL. 48 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: Probably like work on schemes like uh, defensive like recognition, um, 49 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: and you can work on footwork. Uh. A player can 50 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: never be too fast, you can never have like too 51 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: good a fee like I can never be like too smart. 52 00:03:51,520 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: So just like working on recognition and just polishing. Yeah, 53 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: um so i'd so I try to take little things 54 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: from like different players, so like I'll take something from 55 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: Mike Thomas, from Mike Evans, from like Brandon Marshall from 56 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 1: like when Brandon Marshall played, And uh, those are kind 57 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: of my top three guys that I really just love 58 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:20,920 Speaker 1: to watch because I think that they do a great 59 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: job compet which, um, I would just say a big 60 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 1: body with good speed and uh I can go up 61 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: and wins a lot of receivers. Mm hmm. Yeah. Yeah. 62 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: So that was something that um, I learned probably my 63 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: sophomore year when I was at um USC. So I 64 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: kind of learned that I had to bend down more 65 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: and I and like and like, um, really like get 66 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: low to like really help me get in and out 67 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: of routes. So uh, that's something that they taught me there, 68 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: speaking of getting low and getting in and out of routes, 69 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: you can you show a good ability to separate on 70 00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: routes coming back to the quarterback? Are those like hardbreaking 71 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: routes coming back? Some of your more favorite routes come run? 72 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: Or do you like going to vertical? Oh? I mean 73 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 1: like all I run any route really vertical routes in routes, 74 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: out routes, come back routes. Um, like I don't really 75 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: have a favorite route, like just as long as the 76 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,839 Speaker 1: balls coming like coming so uh so any so any 77 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: route that I like get the ball like is like 78 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: my favorite route. So transition huh be able to translate? Yes, Um, 79 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 1: that's one thing that I'm looking forward to is just 80 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: getting on special teams, getting on offense and just helping 81 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 1: the team when um, whichever team that is, teams where 82 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: they kind of have no I mean, I I mean, um, 83 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: I I haven't really asked that because hopefully whatever they 84 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: think now is gonna change. So and then that's why 85 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 1: I'm here so special tea Yeah, yes, so my freshman 86 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: year is when is when I believe that I was 87 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: Actually no, I think are um. I think it was 88 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: my sophomore year that I got all pack twelve special teams. Yeah. 89 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: So I have four career block punts, I believe. Yeah, four. 90 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 1: So that so those came earlier in my career, um, 91 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,600 Speaker 1: because after that, I got kind of kind of like 92 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 1: labeled as like the guy who's gonna try to block 93 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: the punt. So uh so yeah, that's good. There's not 94 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,560 Speaker 1: a lot of guys, you know, it's per savor production 95 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: that you have that also happens special teams other college resume, 96 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: I mean, um, I hope so, but I'm not the 97 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: one scouting me, so yeah, yes, yeah, actually yeah they 98 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:27,120 Speaker 1: have UM.

So Jiuju actually messaged me 111 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 1: probably like two weeks ago, and we've just been going 112 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: like back and forth. Um no, no, no, none of that. Sorry. Um. 113 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: After the Iowa game, Yeah, that was not my best 114 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: out and like I just having a hard time focusing 115 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: because I was already thinking about the next step, which 116 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,199 Speaker 1: which was my fault. Um, I should have been more 117 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: ready and more focused. But but um, I could just 118 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: improve on just I mean because I feel like I 119 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: ran pretty good routes. Um, we had an unfortunate quarterback injury, 120 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,680 Speaker 1: and we just battled through some tough like field position. 121 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: But I could just clean certain things up. But I'd 122 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: have to go back and watch that game yourself.
