28
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,840

29
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 4: you know, DQ just walked in and he was like,

30
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 4: I talked to Jayden. From there, we're kind of just

31
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 4: having a conversation about, you know, my routine and stuff

32
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 4: like that. And then he tried to slide it under there.

33
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 4: But that's when I found out.

34
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, what was that like, man?

35
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 2: Because it sounds like when Dad quit talks. He's just

36
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 2: so casual and chill about everything. So like, what was

37
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: your first thought when he hit you like just slid

38
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:33,039
Speaker 2: it in.

39
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 4: Like okay, like but it didn't really register in my mind.

40
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 4: I was kind of thinking about my routine and stuff

41
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 4: like that. And then from that I was like, oh,

42
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 4: and then we had a conversation. I was just telling him,

43
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 4: thank you, appreciate all that.

44
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: And when and when that did settle, when you really realize,

45
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: like the moment, who was the first person you called

46
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: the shit the news with?

47
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I called my mom, told her first,

48
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 4: and they called my dad. I told him so it

49
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 4: was too I told everybody else. Had to keep it

50
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 4: on the rise until it came out.

51
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you had to have been dreaming about that

52
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: moment your entire life. Man, So now that you've been there,

53
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: now you're on the back end of it, because it's

54
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: hard to really be in the moment during those times.

55
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: What was that moment for you, man? What was going

56
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: through your head? Man? What sat in with you?

57
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: Yeah? I don't think it kind of hit me until

58
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 4: I got home, kind of able to gout in my thoughts.

59
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 4: But it was a very surreal moment because growing up,

60
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 4: you know, loving the game of football, watching NFL Sunday,

61
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 4: you see one of the thirty two out there, you know,

62
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 4: playing quarterbacks, so all you drenk the being one and

63
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: and I'm grate the opportunity to be one of those.

64
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: You talk about dreaming of being that starring quarterback. When

65
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: do you think that dream hit when you're like, this

66
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: is what I want to do. I want to be

67
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: an NFL player.

68
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it started very young. I want to say, like

69
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 4: eight nine years old, kind of around the time when

70
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 4: I started playing football and they got you know, you

71
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 4: kind of venture off, and then I got it to

72
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: the basketball phase and then kind of like eighth grade,

73
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 4: going to high school is kind of where I was like, Okay,

74
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 4: I could really do something with this football thing and

75
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: take it very serious. And that's when around the time

76
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 4: I put that on my wall. You know, I was

77
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: play in the NFL. I didn't know where I get

78
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 4: drafted to. I just knew that I have the opportunity

79
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 4: to play in the NFL.

80
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: And now you're here.

81
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: Man, Now we've seen you for two preseason games, so

82
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 2: I want to I want to take it back. We're

83
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: going to talk a little bit about the future, but

84
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 2: I gonn take it back little bit.

85
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: Talk about that.

86
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 2: First preseason game pull up in the Doug Williams jersey

87
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 2: going viral. Now, I know you've been asked this before,

88
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: but I really want to know. Why was that so

89
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: important for you to take this moment? It's all about you. Now,

90
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: this is your first NFL game, but you took this

91
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: moment to pay homage to somebody that's in it before you.

92
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: Was that so important?

93
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 4: It was actually crazy. I mean, I'm in my closet,

94
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 4: I'm trying to think about, Okay, what I'm gonnaware.

Speaker 4: Fel I'm in the closet, thame I want't wear? And

97
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,000

98
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 4: Rookie premiere they had they sent me a Doug Williams jersey,

99
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 4: so it's just in my closet. I was like, oh,

Speaker 4: it wasn't like Okay, I knew. I mean what Doug

101
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 4: did hear, what he meant, what he means to this franchise,

102
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: his organization, and what he means for me being a

103
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 4: mentor being somebody I could go and talk to that

104
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,480

106
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: and you know, just represent him, especially in the first

107
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 4: one where I knew a lot of odds are gonna

108
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 4: be on me, you know, especially walking through for my

109
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 4: first preseason game, and it just meant a lot to

110
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 4: pay how much to show him that the respect that

111
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 4: he deserves.

112
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: And not everybody gets to walk into a building with

113
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: guys like Doug Williams, Guys like Santana Mons, these.

114
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: Legends that have stayed here for you, guys, for these players.

115
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 2: What game have you gotten from Doug Williams leading up

116
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: to that preseason game that made you say, you know what,

117
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: this is a guy I'm gonna be able to talk

118
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,120

Speaker 4: have to trying to be anybody else, do anything out

122
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 4: of the ordination. Go out there, play a game. There's

123
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 4: a reason why he here, is the reason why God

124
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 4: bless you to be here. So it's kind of the

125
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,279
Speaker 4: biggest main points I take away from talking with him.

126
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 2: Well, man, you ain't waste no time showing us why

127
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 2: you belong in that field.

128
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: Man. That first drive very interesting. You know.

129
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: Talked to Austin Eckler after that first drive and I

130
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: asked him. I was like, what was he like in

131
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: that pocket? And he kind of revealed to us that,

132
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,520
Speaker 2: you know, you you checked out of a play because

133
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: you saw something there and you wanted to make an

134
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: audible and make a play in your own words, because

135
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: a lot was made of that, right Dad Quinn talked

136
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 2: about your own words. Man, what was that moment like

137
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,280
Speaker 2: and what made you say, you know, after this incomplete pass,

138
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go check it down the field.

139
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 4: It was kind of crazy because I mean the whole

140
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 4: week it was like, yeah, nah, it's just I'm like, man,

141
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 4: I kind of came. I was like, man, just let

142
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: me throw a deep you know, Cliff and DQ and

143
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 4: all that, you know, kind of nah, like you know,

144
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 4: so called the screen on third down and it wasn't

145
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 4: the look that I wanted or anybody wanted. So I know,

146
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 4: over a Cliff's head, He's like, man, he was about

147
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: to check it. Because I'm like I seen him. I'm like,

148
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 4: oh yeah, I'm about to check it. So I did

149
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 4: to be able to kind of like, I guess in

150
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: a sense clause like, man, you manifested this in a

151
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 4: sense you did. I mean, I guess so. But it

152
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 4: was just funny. That's why I pointed to the sidelines

153
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 4: because I know and they head was like like, now

154
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 4: we want you to do it, but we're happy about

155
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 4: the result and stuff like that. So it was fun

156
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 4: I mean.

157
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: That's a rookie. How much comfortability does that give you?

158
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: Knowing that even in those moments where you're maybe doing

159
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: something that they said, hey, man, maybe this isn't a

160
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:25,920
Speaker 2: good idea, but knowing that.

161
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: They still trust you to do the right thing. Man,

162
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: How important is that for rookie?

163
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 4: Man, that's the biggest thing. Showed me to have my back.

164
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 4: They trust me and believe in me. So that's a

165
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 4: huge thing. And that's what they preacher. Yeah.

166
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 2: And then right after that, man, you go and get

167
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 2: your first NFL touchdown. And you know a lot of

168
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 2: people in those moments hit a little silly little dance

169
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: cheer with their teammates, maybe even their coaches, and everybody

170
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 2: was going crazy. I was on the sideline too. All

171
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: of us are yelling and going crazy. You run past everybody,

Speaker 2: it that football. Why was that so important for you

174
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 2: to do that in that moment?

175
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: It was huge? I mean, pregame, she's on the sideline.

176
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: I look over and I go over. She like she's

177
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 4: getting emotional because she like, you know, she seeing me

178
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,680
Speaker 4: this is a dream of mine that now she can

179
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 4: see it become reality. So I know she get emotional

180
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 4: and obviously shout out to Terry because I don't know

181
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 4: what I blacked out so I even had the ball,

182
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: so he gave me the ball first thing I seen

183
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: him right there. So a start of the football, man,

184
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 4: it meant a lot.

185
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, Man, and your mom and your other family there

189
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,080

195
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 4: be able to be a part of this journey.

196
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: Man.

Speaker 2: nothing's new for you anymore. Right now you're in it.

199
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: You're gonna have your first NFL game on the road

200
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What are you expecting from

201
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 2: yourself in that first game? Have you set expectations for yourself?

202
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: Or you just going to out there and let it fly?

203
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 4: Man, go out there, let it fly. It wouldn't be

204
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 4: no expectation for me. Try to do everything in my

205
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 4: power to help lead the team to a win. That's

206
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 4: the main thing, that's the main focus. You know, we

207
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: want to start. I want to know and.

208
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 2: Everybody talks about I mean even right now I'm sitting

209
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: there talking to you, when everybody said it, you're wise

210
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: beyond your years.

211
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: Man.

212
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: You talk like somebody that's been here before, not like

213
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 2: a rookie. But what are those challenges you face so

214
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: far being here and how have you overcome those challenges?

215
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean DQ whole staff, even the veterans, they've

216
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 4: been done a great job, not just for myself but

217
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 4: all the rookies, you know, making this feel as part

218
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 4: as the team, not making us feel like you know,

219
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 4: or a rookie. So whether as leadership wise, you know,

220
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 4: picking your spots, knowing what, be able to go out

221
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,080
Speaker 4: there and talk to them and be able to just

222
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: talk about you know, life and talk about you know, football.

223
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: And the main person I mean I talked to others

224
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,079
Speaker 4: outside of markets is Bobby Blackener. You know, me and

225
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 4: him are from the same area, so you know, we

226
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 4: have that in common, and as we get to know

227
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: each other more, we have a lot of comments. So

228
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,839
Speaker 4: be able just to pick his brain about things that

229
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 4: ain't seen our you know, quarterbacks he's been with his

230
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 4: career and stuff like that.

231
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 2: And you both with callie kids like you mentioned Bobby

232
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:14,959
Speaker 2: wagen Man, you mentioned hoops man. You are Laker fan?

233
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure, okay, no doubt. And I have to

234
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: ask because man, every time you came out in training camp,

235
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 2: we had a basketball people with just day. I don't

236
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 2: think I've ever seen the quarterback warm up with a basketball. Man,

237
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 2: Where does that come from? And why is that something

238
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 2: you've added to your game?

239
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's something I've done for a while.

240
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: Is just kind of like tricking your mind. You know,

241
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 4: obviously a basketball is bigger than a football, as dribble around, basketball,

242
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,559
Speaker 4: shoot it, things like that, and then when I pick

243
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 4: up the footballs and just smaller in my hand, feel

244
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 4: smaller in my hand, stuff like that.

245
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: So so you hoop a little bit.

246
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm better than Bobby Wagener.

247
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,320
Speaker 2: No, I think Bobby everybody that's sat in his chaff

248
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 2: claimed they are the best command is player.

249
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: But you're gonna take that ground.

250
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 4: I'm better in Bobby Wagen.

251
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: That's all you care about. Long as you better than Bobby.

252
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 4: Better than Bobby White? What the information you want to do?

253
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: Well, man, we're gonna let you go. Before we let

254
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: you go, man, you know we all have goals. You've

255
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 2: achieved a very big goal by getting drafted, by becoming

256
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: a starter, by making into the NFL.

257
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 1: What is your goal now for this season?

258
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 4: Be the best version of myself each and every day

259
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 4: no matter the good or the bad ups and the downs.

260
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 4: Bill go out there and you know, the other players

261
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: could look at me like, Man, Jay's consistent. You know,

262
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 4: he's consistent with his work as it, you know, with everything.

263
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: How you take care of his body, stuff like that,

264
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 4: and then try to figure out a way to get

265
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 4: better each and every day.

266
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: Hey, Jad, and we can't wait to see you improved. Man.

267
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 2: Congratulations on all your success so far. Man, We're excited

268
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,599
Speaker 2: to see this journey. Appreciate you taking the time with it.

269
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 4: I appreciate you.

270
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 2: And of course we can't talk to our rookie quarterback

271
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 2: without bringing in a legend that pioneered the entire game,

272
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 2: welcoming in former Super Bowl MVP form Super Bowl Champion,

273
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 2: the first African American quarterback to play in a Super

274
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: Bowl game, a true Washington legend, mister Doug Williams.

275
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: How you doing, sir, I'm going good, real good man.

276
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: I appreciate you being here. Man here and we started.

277
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 2: Off I said it, the first black quarterback to play

278
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: in the Super Bowl. Last season, fourteen of thirty two

279
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: teams started a black quarterback.

280
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: You would a pioneer for that. What is it like

281
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: seeing the league.

282
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 5: Now, well, I think what has happened the league as

283
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 5: a whole has involved it's not about the color of

284
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 5: your skin. It's about who could play. And that's the

285
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 5: part I like about it. You know, anytime doing the playoffs,

286
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 5: if that was a black quarterback in the playoffs, reporters

287
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 5: will always call me and asking what I think about that.

288
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 5: Now they don't have to call me to ask me that,

289
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 5: because the's a chance that it's gonna be one, two,

290
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 5: maybe three, and sometimes four in the playoff. And I

291
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 5: think that's the way it should be. You know, don't

292
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 5: judge somebody about the character they skin, but what they

293
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 5: can do and what they can do for the team

294
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 5: and for the city and things like that. And I

295
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 5: think what has happened all these young guys that are

296
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 5: out there now, you know it's playing football because not

297
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 5: because they're black, because they can play and they're the

298
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 5: best person that they can put in their position. And

299
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 5: that's what makes me feel good.

300
00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 2: And it's nice to sit here and look back in

301
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 2: hindsight because we can say how much has changed. But

302
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: while you were in it, did you feel that the

303
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: league would turn into this because you were in the

304
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 2: trenches of it being somebody that's done something that's never

305
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 2: been done before.

306
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 1: Did you see the league turning into this.

307
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 5: No, I don't think anybody could see that, you know,

308
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 5: not at that time, because the way the time was

309
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 5: back then. Being one of the one of the few

310
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 5: at that time, James Harris was in the league, but

311
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 5: he wasn't that starting quarterback. And then Vince Evan came.

312
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 5: He was in Chicago. Matter of fact, Vince and myself

313
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 5: played in the first game that two African American quarterbacks

314
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 5: ever played in in nineteen seventy nine against the Bears.

315
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 5: You know, I remember like that one like it was yesterday,

316
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 5: because it was a big it was a big thing.

317
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 5: It was a big write up. And today times you know,

318
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 5: that's not a big thing. It's the team. It's not

319
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 5: the quarterback. It's the team who are playing each other.

320
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,360
Speaker 5: And I think it's good that we've gotten to that

321
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 5: point because at the end of the day, we all

322
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 5: got to live here, we all got to play here,

323
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 5: and everybody got to be respected for what they do.

324
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: And mister Doug, it's not just that you're a pioneer

325
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: during the game. After the game, you've dedicated your whole

326
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: life to football, helping people, mentoring people, helping the next

327
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: generation come up and be better football players. Why was

328
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 2: that so important for you to do that after your

329
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: playing career.

330
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I was fortunately growing up number one.

331
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 5: You know, I had an older brother who was actually

332
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,800
Speaker 5: you know, it's my mentug always be my mentor. And

333
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 5: he was the one that really got me into playing

334
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 5: football because football wasn't my first nature. Basketball and baseball

335
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 5: was what I really wanted to do. And he's just

336
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 5: so having to be a coach at my high school.

337
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 5: He was a junior high coach and I was eighth

338
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 5: grade and he became the junior high football coach, and

339
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 5: he gave me an ultimatum. He said, I mean you

340
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 5: to play football. Whip him. So I ended up playing football.

341
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 1: They're so like you made a good decision there.

342
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,520
Speaker 5: Yes, football been good to me. You know, that's the

343
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 5: good part about it. You know, the four years that

344
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 5: I was at GRAANDLA State University, nothing like playing at

345
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 5: Gramlin for coach Edd Robinson. The guys that I played with,

346
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 5: you know, I had some great guys to play with.

347
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 5: And being drafted by Tampa, you know, going there for

348
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 5: five years years and playing and then going to the

349
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 5: USFL for two and the one coach that was at

350
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 5: Tampa was Joe Gibbs. And then you know he was

351
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 5: that came to Washington, and after the USFL folders on,

352
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 5: one other coach called me, and that was Joe Gibbs.

353
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 5: And that's why I'm here today. And uh, you know,

354
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 5: I'm thankful for Coach Gibbs and the blessing that's been

355
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 5: restored up on me. And you talk about the spiritual guy,

356
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 5: nobody's more spiritual than Coach Gills. For what he told

357
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 5: me in nineteen eighty seven, right after preseason, what do

358
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 5: he tell you? You know, I've been traded. Nineteen eighty seven,

359
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 5: we went to la we played a preseason game against

360
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 5: the Rams. We came here. I had a pretty good game,

361
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 5: and we got off the air plane at Duter's Airport.

365
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 5: And I said, oh, coach, thank you. You know I'm

366
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 5: talking about the Raiders. They you know, I think every

367
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 5: little kid growing up was a Raider fan. They I

368
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,400

Speaker 5: that seven black so so coach, thank you, coach, and uh,

370
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,360

371
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 5: and we'll sit down. We'll talk about it. And I

372
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 5: went to the apartment and packed my bags, call everybody

373
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 5: in Zach Louisiana and told him I was gonna be

374
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 5: a Raider. And uh, when I came over to the office,

375
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 5: you know, I went to his office. If you know

376
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 5: Coach Gibbs, he might not do it at this stage,

377
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 5: but he had this funny laugh.

378
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: You know.

379
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 5: He looked at me and he's he said, ha, ha,

380
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 5: changed my mind. And I said, Coach, I said, you

381
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 5: can't change your mind. And at that time he snapped

382
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 5: at me. He said, hey, I don't work for the Raiders.

383
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 5: I worked for the Washington Redskin. So I just sat

384
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 5: back in my chair. And then he told me this

385
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 5: this un is God true. He said, look, I got

386
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 5: a feeling. And coach Coach Gibbs, one of them guys

387
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 5: you played with, Coach Gibb, you always have a gut feeling.

388
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 5: And he said, I got a feeling. He said, I

389
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 5: got a feeling that somewhere along this line this year,

390
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 5: you know, you're gonna come in here and we're gonna

391
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 5: win this thing. At that time, it didn't mean nothing

392
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 5: to me. You got to understand that he just bust

393
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 5: my bubble.

394
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: Because you in your head you were going to it wasn't.

395
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 5: What's gonna happen at the end of the year. I wouldn't.

396
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 5: Look that's too far away, you know. But but there

397
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 5: wasn't nothing I can do. I got out the chair,

398
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 5: went downstairs, and whatever meeting I had to go to,

399
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,880
Speaker 5: went to the meeting. And you know, at the end

400
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 5: of the year, everything came true. You know, I met

401
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 5: him at the dog going into the locker room, and

402
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 5: the first thing he told me said, I told you

403
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 5: didn't Yes, you did, Coach, And you know I know

404
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 5: I never we'll forget that. This man told me this

405
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 5: before the season that was started in nineteen eighty seven. Wow,

406
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 5: and it all came true.

407
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 2: And it's crazy because you know, Coach Gibbs, was that

408
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,600
Speaker 2: belief for you, that mentor for you, like you said,

409
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: that guidance and you have chosen to be that for

410
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: a lot of players. And now you're in a very

411
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: interesting situation here because you get to be a guide

412
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: to a rookie quarterback and Jade and Daniels, and I

413
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 2: was so back to that first preseason game we had.

414
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: He walks out into Jersey, you know, looking good into

415
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 2: Doug Williams Jersey.

416
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: Did you know that was gonna happens.

417
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 5: Every tell you, you know, going into the stagem you know,

418
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 5: players ride on the players bus exactly. And I'm on

419
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 5: the bus with all the coaches, you know. And when

420
00:16:58,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 5: I got off the bus, I sat down there every

421
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 5: to get off. When I got off the bus, I'm

422
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 5: looking at seventeen. I said, oh man, this boydom broke

423
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 5: out a thug wheel of Jersey. To me, that was

424
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 5: ultimate respect that anybody could could ever pay you, you know.

425
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 5: And I didn't ask him why he put it on.

426
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 5: I remember Dan flying back after the game. Dan looked

427
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 5: at me and saying, how cool is that?

428
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: You know?

429
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:21,400
Speaker 5: But it kind of tells you who Jayde Dames really

430
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 5: is as an individual.

431
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:23,399
Speaker 4: You know.

432
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 5: I think we're lucky we got a guy like Jayden

433
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 5: and Daniel who don't have any devor to him. Yeah,

434
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,400
Speaker 5: he get along with everybody. Come to work. He come

435
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 5: to work. You know, you come here six thirty in

436
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 5: the morning. I promise you, you'll find his car in

437
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 5: the parking lot. That's who he is. And I think

438
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 5: it says a lot about you know, how he was

439
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 5: raised and how he look, how he respect people that

440
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 5: came before.

441
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 2: Him, and Jaden had nothing but great things to say

442
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 2: about you, calling you a mentor calling you somebody that

443
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 2: has been looking out for him even before he got

444
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 2: into this building. Talk to me about your relationship with

445
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 2: Jada and the history you guys have, because I don't

446
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 2: think a lot of people realize y'all go way back.

447
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 5: Well, I think the only thing you could say, you know,

448
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 5: you call a guy. When I mean, it's not like

449
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 5: you can tell him what to do or what have you,

450
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 5: because you're not coaching it. It's just like in this bit,

451
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 5: I'm not coaching it. But my thing is, you know,

452
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 5: like I walked by him sometime and he said, hey, Doug,

453
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 5: I say, what's up, Jaden? And then sometimes I walk

454
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 5: up to him and say, hey, man, you got to

455
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 5: learn how to slide, you know, just give.

456
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: Him some good advice and everybody that's that.

457
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 5: But no, it's just a matter of calling a guy.

458
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 5: And I stayed on the phone a long time. Just

459
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 5: call and let him know that you looking at him,

460
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 5: you care about him, You want to do good, and

461
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 5: I think that's that's what it's all about.

462
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: And you've been a rookie quarterback before.

463
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 2: Man, what advice can you give him and have you

464
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 2: given him as he approaches being starting quarterback for week

465
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 2: one against your Tenthorley Buckinge.

466
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,119
Speaker 5: Ins, Well, you know what, when I look at Jayden

467
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:44,400
Speaker 5: doing this training camp, man, I put myself in that position.

468
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 5: I don't know what I was as as calm, cool

469
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 5: and collected as Jaden has been. You know, you watch

470
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 5: this kid, man. He don't get rattled, He don't put

471
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 5: hisself in no rush. He does everything right, and when

472
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 5: he doesn't do it right, he want to come back

473
00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 5: and do it again. I don't know whether when I

474
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 5: became starting caught back in Tampa, I was like that.

475
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 5: I probably was a little more nerves than he is today,

476
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 5: you know, but a lot of things has involved and

477
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 5: I just watch him. Man, watched the game, the last

478
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 5: preseason game. You just watch him how the ball comes

479
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 5: out of his hand. He's not gitterly jumping back there

480
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 5: trying to get out of his hand. He he know

481
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 5: what he's doing. He comes out in the timely matter.

482
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 5: He knows how to place the ball where it's supposed

483
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,679
Speaker 5: to be. I mean, Jaye just do so many things

484
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 5: so well. You know, it's hard to even look at

485
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 5: something that he doesn't do well.

486
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: And I think we're all happy about that.

487
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: We're all happy to have Jaden and we're really happy

488
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,159
Speaker 2: to have somebody like you here to mensor him. Like

489
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 2: I said, he's going against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers week one. Now,

490
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: I'm assuming you're going for burgundy and gold. You're rocking

491
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 2: with us?

492
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 5: Well, you know, thinking about it, you go down to

493
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 5: Tampa and you know, I'm fortunate enough to have you

494
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 5: know my name in both stadiums here and there. But

495
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 5: the end of the day, when it's all said and done,

496
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 5: it's only one team that I'm pulling for. Oh yeah,

497
00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,359
