1
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: Touched down beautiful round by Elijah More. Welcome to another

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: episode on the Official Jets podcast, the podcast Profile series

3
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: continuing to roll on. Here another rookie. We got Elijah More,

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: we got two interviews. We've got Tevin Allen, who's the

5
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: CEO of gold Feet Global. Sure people have seen him

6
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: on Instagram before, worked out with Elijah Moore when Elijah

7
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: was grown up. And then we also got Derek Nicks,

8
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:37,240
Speaker 1: who coached up the receivers, including More at all miss listen,

9
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,720
Speaker 1: the Jets were doing backflips when Elijah Moore was still

10
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 1: on the board. At the beginning of Night two of

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: the draft. They thought they got three first round talents

12
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: in this draft, three of the top twenty five guys

13
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: on their board. I know you probably can speak to

14
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: it a little bit. I think Brian Shields was talking

15
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: about Elijah moren Flight one. He's one and one, said

16
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: it was their sixteenth overall rated prospect and the Jets

17
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: got him early in the second round at thirty four.

18
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,919
Speaker 1: On the bottom line is Elijah More was the best

19
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: receiver in the best conference in college football last season.

20
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: Barn On, his stats are amazing. I mean, you know,

21
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: I understand people who would make the argument for Davante

22
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 1: Smith because he's the Oisman Trophy winner. But Elijah More,

23
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: you can't argue with his production. And remember he opted

24
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: out of the final I think two games of the

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 1: two thousand in eight games, right, so he averaged nearly

26
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: a hundred fifty yards receiving in game and almost eleven catches.

27
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: I believe, Yeah, I mean his numbers are ridiculous. Like

28
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: it's very much like we know we're gonna throw the

29
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: ball to Elijah More. You know we're gonna throw the

30
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: ball to Elijah More. Can you stop him? And the

31
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: answer was no. And you know, I just think it's

32
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: really amazing what he did. And you factor in that

33
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: he lines up inside where we'll get into this in

34
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: side outside he's got four three speed in flight. One

35
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: of the scouts was talking about how was one of

36
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: the best Pro Day's workouts that he's been to, and

37
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: I think that speaks to Elijah More. And you know,

38
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,239
Speaker 1: let's start back with Kevin Allen, who knew Elijah More

39
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: when he was a student at St. Thomas Aquinas, which,

40
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: by the way, let me just read you some of

41
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,239
Speaker 1: the football alum at St. Thomas Aquinas over time, we're

42
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: talking about Geno Atkins, Giovanni Bernard, the Bosta brothers, LaMarcus

43
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: Joyner ironically one of them, Philip Dorset. I mean, there

44
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: is a long list of St. Thomas Aquinas football players

45
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: who had success in the NFL. Yeah, on the program

46
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: speaks for itself, those names that you just Jamal Westerman

47
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 1: too off their former New York Jet. Of course, um

48
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: Tevin Allen was at all time low. He told me

49
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: he's just been recently had been cut in the CFL,

50
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: and that's when he got introduced to this young kid,

51
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: Elijah More. More was fourteen years old at the time,

52
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: and that relationship developed over time. But what you could

53
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: tell early on, I think from More was he had

54
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: a passion to be great. Nothing was ever enough for him.

55
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: And I think this Jet two thousand twenty one draft class,

56
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: we've talked about it before, I think it has a

57
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: chance to be special. And I know none of these

58
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: guys have played a down, but they have really unique

59
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: intangibles coupled that with unbelievable physical skill sets. And Elijah

60
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: More when he measured in as Pro Day five nine,

61
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: not the biggest guy, and Robert Sala called him what

62
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: a jitterbug he's And we'll get into this too. He

63
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 1: was very impressive in the spring and there were no pads.

64
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: We know that, but he was still very impressive. And

65
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: it looks like that he's picking up the offensive or

66
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: the offense early. And on top of all this, you

67
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 1: hear different coaches like Michael Floor and Brand Boyer talk

68
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: about his work ethic. I mean, you can tell he

69
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: really lives and breathes football. Well, he wants more. But

70
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: then you can close your eyes and say that about

71
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: a number of guys in this draft class. But Elijah

72
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: Morris team, the guys who are around him, his family members, friends, supporters,

73
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: guys like Vin Allen believe he will be the best

74
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: receiver in this draft class period, no matter that he

75
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: want in the second round or not. And you look

76
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: at the production at Mississippi, it's just skyrocketed each and

77
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: every year, no one from the thirties to the sixties,

78
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: and then last year or whatever, it was like we

79
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: all miss singles season record. So you're just looking at

80
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 1: somebody who is continually uh he's his evolution is just

81
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: in front of your eyes. And I think he's just

82
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 1: gonna get better as a pro And the other thing

83
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: about him and Zack Wilson were when one of those

84
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: camps ended and rookie is an opportunity to go home,

85
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: both of those guys stayed. They stayed and they found

86
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: fields locally and they were throwing the ball to each other.

87
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: I mean, well, Wilson was throwing the ball more of course,

88
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: but they could have they could have thrown it back,

89
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,599
Speaker 1: but they could have went home and departed whatever things

90
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: like that, but they just couldn't get enough. Yeah, I

91
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: think their relationship is really cool, and you started to

92
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,720
Speaker 1: see that. I think it was after Rookie Minicamp is

93
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. The two of them go out

94
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 1: in the city, get some dinner, hang out off the field.

95
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: Developed that relationship as well. And I think the relationship

96
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: between More and Tevin Allen, who were about to hear from,

97
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: is really interesting because he's known, he's seen Elijah Morris

98
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 1: and he was fourteen years old, and he since he

99
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: was an athlete at St. Thomas Aquinas and then at

100
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: all Miss and now with the Jet. So let's hear

101
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:23,359
Speaker 1: from Tevin out Tebbing. You go a long way back

102
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 1: with Elijah More. What were your earliest memories of him

103
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: in your interactions. Um, the first time we met, I

104
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: was actually at my all time lowe, fresh out of college,

105
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: got cut from the cfl UM, staying at my friend

106
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: MoMA Martinez's house, and he said it was this kid

107
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: that basically moved like me, uh played the game passionately

108
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: like me. And he told me to come check him

109
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: out over at Western High School. So I pulled up

110
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 1: to the game and I was impressed, you know, just

111
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: by you know, the way he was able to uh

112
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: be agile and avoid defenders and score touchdowns so easily.

113
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 1: And after the game, I called him over to the

114
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: stands and I basically said, you know, I'm up and

115
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 1: coming training. UM built this movement called goal Fee Global,

116
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to be able to get my

117
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: name out there and showcase, you know, my craft and

118
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: you know, build into something outside of football. So exchanged

119
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: my number with him, and he had no idea who

120
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: I was. That's just the type of person he is.

121
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 1: He's willing to take a chance on anybody. Um, you know,

122
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: if he feels that energy and he feels you know,

123
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 1: the connection. His mom dropped him off and you know,

124
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 1: I wrote my bike to the Park, he jumped the fence.

125
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: We started training. Since then, Uh, he's been on my

126
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: hip since he was fourteen years old. UM, just being

127
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: able to you know, hear that story. Uh you see

128
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: the way he moves with you know, being a god

129
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: fearing man. And and I'm just I'm happy guy put

130
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: him in my life. I think to understand a person,

131
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: you have to understand where they come from. What can

132
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: you say about his neighborhood in South Florida and then

133
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: also the high school that he played at St. Thomas

134
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: Aquinas Eliza has always had a great support system. UM,

135
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 1: from his mother to his grandparents too, his father and brother.

136
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: Uh didn't really you know, go through the struggle as

137
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: you know most people in South Florida in Section eight

138
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,720
Speaker 1: housing in the hood. Um, he had a lot of

139
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: love around him, UM, a lot of resources. And being

140
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: able to have that, he was able to chase his

141
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 1: dream and go to a school where you know, he

142
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: felt like he was going to get a lot of

143
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: recognition and he was able to challenge himself. And that's

144
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,599
Speaker 1: over at the same times, Aquinas, Uh, and just the

145
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: tradition over there, UM elevated his mindset. He's always been

146
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: transparent about his life and who he wants to be.

147
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: But going to St. Thomas that molded him, you know,

148
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: into a college athlete. Uh. In high school, you know,

149
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: they do a great job over there. Um, and I

150
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: commended him for that. Just how good of a player

151
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: was he in high school? And how the heck did

152
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 1: he get out of the state of Florida. This guy

153
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: was such a good player. Well, he went for two

154
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: thousand yards twenty touchdown sophomore year, goes into his junior

155
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: at St. Thomas is um athletes like Mike Carley, Traymon Grimes,

156
00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: Power five UM guys. So, uh, it was really um

157
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: little fish, big pond. And he went through his trial

158
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: and tribulations. He was obviously on the same lives more.

159
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 1: But you know, I think those trials kind of prepared

160
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 1: him to build more confidence, and just going through those

161
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: obstacles made him really understand, like, you know, he's gonna

162
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 1: beat the next man, make a better version of himself.

163
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,959
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this. You were his trainer physically,

164
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: but I gotta imagine you were a trainer mentally as well,

165
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 1: because you were taking a own kid and helping mold

166
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: this piece of clay. Ever since he was fourteen. With

167
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: that being said, how did he develop throughout high school? Man?

168
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: We do everything we love. Uh. It was no money

169
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 1: involved as far as like this isn't uh cloud chasing

170
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: company or um a company that is using athletes image

171
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: and likeness. Like this was a real relationship. Um. And

172
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 1: he made it easy UM on the situation just by

173
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, the great kid man. UM. And obviously the

174
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: people around New York City it already you can see

175
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 1: it through his Instagram. You can see it, you know

176
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 1: in person, the way he moves his energy. UM, it's

177
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: just unmatched. So throughout that process, and UM, I always

178
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: told him, never get too high, never get too low. Uh,

179
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: stay even killed, stay grounded, because he's gonna achieve everything

180
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: that he wants to achieve. And just he he wants

181
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: it so bad. He's never satisfied. So sometimes he can

182
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: get too far ahead. UM. And I think you know,

183
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: God put me in his life to to make sure that, UM,

184
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: he's leveled. You know he has somebody that can talk

185
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: to him about anything. Uh, he's real transparent. He asked

186
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: a lot of questions. I mean, if I didn't make

187
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: a better version of myself, Like how was I able

188
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 1: to you know, bringing up a kid, you know, at

189
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: fourteen years old, UM, and tell him to correct things.

190
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: So he actually made me a better person and actually

191
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: made me, you know, step up, uh and become a

192
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 1: real man because he was watching my every move. What

193
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 1: do you think of his rise at all? Mess thirty

194
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: six receptions of the freshman then sixty seven and eighty

195
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: six in eight games of production was off the charts,

196
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 1: averaging nearly eleven receptions a game last year in a

197
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards in the nation's best conference. He wants more. Um.

198
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: He actually every single year he'll come back like frustrated,

199
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: you know, mad that he didn't achieve the goals that

200
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 1: he set out to achieving. We'll get back to work.

201
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 1: We'll keep working. He'll work with me on week days, Uh,

202
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: go to his training slide Johnson um from premier athletes

203
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,599
Speaker 1: on the weekends, UM, and work out before school sometimes.

204
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: Like this is the type of kid that he truly

205
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: believes he could be the best wide receiver ever. Um.

206
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: He's gonna work um to get that. So just seeing

207
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, the transformation from freshman soft one a year

208
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: UM into this consistency all American season. UM, I wouldn't

209
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 1: put it past him. Uh. He actually believes that he

210
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: could have did better, which is crazy. Tell versatile player, electric, ambitious,

211
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: somebody who's gonna be UM, the guy on and off

212
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: the field in the community. UM, and a great role

213
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,559
Speaker 1: model his versatility. Can you speak to that as far

214
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: as somebody who played the game and somebody who's trained

215
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: him for so many years about how we can do

216
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: pretty much everything. People talk about him lining up outside

217
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: the numbers, report him in the slot or running the

218
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: jet sweeps. You just want to get the ball in

219
00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,559
Speaker 1: his hands. He never wants to be put in the box. Um.

220
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: He can run every route in a route three at

221
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: a high level. He could play the X, he could

222
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 1: play the Z, could play the slot. UM. He played

223
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: running back growing up, so that's easy. Just getting the

224
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: ball his yards after catches unmanagement. He could return punts,

225
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: return kicks. He's the type of guy that you want

226
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 1: to be able to get him at least ten touches

227
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 1: in the game. He's going for over a hundred. He'll

228
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: get you touchdowns, he'll bring you know his teammates up there.

229
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: But one of the most electric athletes players I'm ever

230
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: seen my own two eyes. Do you think he carries

231
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder. Uh. You talk about the

232
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: village that raised him that he came from. Hey listen,

233
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: good family, good support system. But you get to the

234
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: NFL draft and he's a competitive spirit. So I'm sure

235
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 1: he wanted to go in the first round. First round

236
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 1: talent for sure. Um, and we truly believe he's the

237
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: best wide receiver that came out of that drafting. UM.

238
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: Five teen years from now, we'll have to check the stats,

239
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 1: and I believe he'll be on top. Um. Just the

240
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: type of person he is. He you know, he was

241
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: really frustrated after that first day. UM. He truly believed

242
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: his name was gonna be called. He worked for it. Uh,

243
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 1: he prayed for it. Um, it didn't happen. But you know,

244
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 1: he's truly grateful and thankful to be where he's at

245
00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: right now. How do you think he's gonna acclimate himself

246
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 1: to his teammates, UM, obviously coming in here as a

247
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: rookie learning the new system, and he could be playing

248
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: with a rookie quarterback in week one. Yeah, right when

249
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: the draft was over with. Uh, they got on the

250
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: phone him and that got on the phone. I was

251
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: talking about, Uh, what they want to do in the future,

252
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: watching each other's highlights. Uh. And he stayed up there

253
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: actually in Jersey. Uh, he didn't come home when he

254
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: could have came home, creating that bond and it could

255
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: be a special thing. Man, looking forward to seeing it.

256
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: What does he mean of the community down there? You know,

257
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 1: like you mentioned same time, it's a quaint as well,

258
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 1: a lot of tremendous athletes. But I gotta imagine a

259
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna be tracking the course of

260
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: his career now most definitely already. We call it the

261
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: goal Fee Empire. Uh. We trained five years old up

262
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: to professionals. And he's one of those postal childs that

263
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: everyone's seeing him grow from fourteen years old. So he

264
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: has a great fan base. He comes back to the sessions,

265
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 1: to the group sessions with the kids and trains with them,

266
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: talks to them, motivates them, and a lot of people

267
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: look at him. You know, as far as being a

268
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: god fearing man, he's on the right pass. His stars

269
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: are aligned. He just brings everybody up. Man, his frequency

270
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: is so high, with with with joy and happiness and love,

271
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: like you always want to be around him. I gotta

272
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: imagine moving forward for you at gold Feet Global that

273
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: you're going to be able to point to Elijah and say, hey, kids,

274
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: this is what you can strive to be. Most definitely,

275
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: only time will tell man, and it's long and he

276
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: keeps God first, how can he lose? All? Right? Now,

277
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 1: let's turn the page to All Miss and Elijah More

278
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 1: is what you know. A lot of people have brought

279
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: this up the third out of like the All Miss

280
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: trilogy between A J. Brown, Dk Metcalf and now it's

281
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: more and A J. Brown and Elijah More are extremely close.

282
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Matt Calf and More are close as well,

283
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: but it definitely seems like there's a deeper connection between

284
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: A J. Brown and Elijah More. So much so that

285
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 1: A J. Brown posted this video of after Elijah Moore

286
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: was drafted, he was at his draft party and then

287
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: also the two of them. I don't know if you

288
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: saw this recently, we're working out in Brooklyn together. I

289
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 1: saw that on social media. Yeah, did they just pop

290
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: at a park? They just think jumped out of the

291
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: park and decide they're going to work out there. I

292
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: think there's like a group of people working out. I

293
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: don't know if they're like a well known group, but

294
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: they just said, you know, let's get this work in

295
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: and they've worked out altogether. Yeah. From the photo that

296
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: I saw, all those was are a pretty good shaped

297
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,119
Speaker 1: That was something else. How about Mississippi though, is it

298
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: becoming a wide receiver you I talked to Derek Knicks

299
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 1: about it. He said he kind of started with Dante

300
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,679
Speaker 1: Moncrief then the Kwan treadwell and you just mentioned A J.

301
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 1: Brown of course, and DK metcalf and Elijah spent a

302
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: lot of time with A J. Brown before last summer,

303
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: and Nick talked about Brown helping More, Um, you know

304
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,640
Speaker 1: in terms of hey, I can do it. You can

305
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,119
Speaker 1: do it too, right. I as what I guess he

306
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,800
Speaker 1: would say, like a I don't know if a confidence

307
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 1: booster is the right word, but maybe like would you say,

308
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:48,360
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, it almost helped Elijah more realized

309
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 1: he could do it, like because he said he was

310
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: never lacking in confidence. But it's almost like, Okay, well

311
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 1: these guys like this is real, like like I really

312
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: do have a chance to be well. Look a look

313
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: at what A J that And you know I was

314
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,160
Speaker 1: playing alongside him, I was learning from him. I know

315
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: what I can do. I can do damage um myself. Um,

316
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 1: it's just fascinating too. As far as the connections, you

317
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: think about what has happened here now a j Brown

318
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:21,439
Speaker 1: of course in Tennessee, Corey Davison Tennessee. Now Corey Davis

319
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: signs with the Jets in the off season. And one

320
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: of the reasons are a few of the reasons why

321
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,879
Speaker 1: this wide receiver corps is so much better is you

322
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: started the top with Corey Davis and then the drafting

323
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: of Elijah More. Yeah, that is a cool little connection

324
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 1: there as well. And Elijah Moore and Denzel Mim seemed

325
00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 1: to be getting along really quickly as well. The two

326
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,399
Speaker 1: of them were just hanging out on the turf field

327
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: after practice one day, just sitting on the turf chatting

328
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: it up. And we'll talk about this wide receivers room

329
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: and how improved it is. You said a different episode,

330
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: but really I think it is the most improved unit

331
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 1: on this team. You could easily make the case, but

332
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: I do leave that it is. And in terms of

333
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: more at all, Miss Nick's been at almost a long time,

334
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: so I think his running backs coach first and then

335
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: transition to wide receiver and then um, you think about

336
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: just again, I'll read the stats of what Elijah More

337
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 1: did an eight games in two thousand, twenty eighties six receptions,

338
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: which is a school single season record, one thousand one

339
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: yards and eight touchdowns in just eight games. Unbelievable work.

340
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: Ethic Nix is gonna talk about this right now. He

341
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: does not accept mediocrity. Um. He's a guy who's going

342
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: to be reaching for the stars and beyond a great

343
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: work ethic, loves the game, a threat at every level

344
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,360
Speaker 1: to do damage. And we'll talk about the receiver's room

345
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: and what Elijah More could potentially bring on special teams.

346
00:19:53,880 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: But first let's hear from Derrek Knicks. He exploded a

347
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: national seed last season? Why was he so prolific? Number one?

348
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: Just worked ethic. Um, this guy, he tries to perfect

349
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: everything that he does. Uh. He tried to bring guys

350
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 1: along with him. Uh. He doesn't accept meteorocrity. Um. He's

351
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: a guy that's you know, he believes he's the best

352
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: and he's gonna do everything he can in his power

353
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 1: to prove that. And he's always learning. You know, he's

354
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: always willing to try to find out what's the next step.

355
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: You know, Coach, you know maybe about route running, coach,

356
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: what about defenses? You know? What about coverages? You know,

357
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 1: I can remember a numerous amount of times, you know, coach,

358
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: I want to know the whole thing. I don't know.

359
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 1: I don't want to know just my position. I want

360
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: to know the whole thing. And I think just that

361
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:53,239
Speaker 1: attitude of trying to be a winner, trying to you know,

362
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: get outside of his position and be a total football player.

363
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,359
Speaker 1: And then, you know, I think about him growing in

364
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,439
Speaker 1: his spiritual of life, and I think about him growing,

365
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 1: you know this as a regular person and with his

366
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: social life. I mean, he was trying. He saw a

367
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,120
Speaker 1: bigger prize from stiff. He still does. I know, he's

368
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: got more work he wants to get done. And you

369
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: know that inspired me. I told him when I was there, Man,

370
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: he made my job in life so much easier. My

371
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: best player in the room. Not only could he make plays,

372
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: but he was also doing the right things away away

373
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: from the football facility. Let's talk about the lies. This

374
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: physical skill set, starting with acceleration and change of direction.

375
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: What would you say, Um, he and he had another guy,

376
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: coach a few you back deston mccluster. I mean, these

377
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: guys can get to their top speed in the hurry.

378
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: You know, they're about two three, four steps in and

379
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: they're going full till and I guess probably was even

380
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,360
Speaker 1: better than that. They can stop and start again and

381
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: be right back full speed. And you know he's got

382
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,879
Speaker 1: a you know, lowson and ravity, so he can you know,

383
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: he can go probably left and right just as fast

384
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: as he can go forward. Um. You know, really big

385
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: hands for a guy his size. He's stronger than your thing.

386
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: He's more physical and uh, you know, he's got some

387
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: savanties to him, you know, and he's never afraid of

388
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: a challenge. You know, basically trying to find out who

389
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 1: the best dB was every week that we're playing, and

390
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: he wanted to make sure when he got mashed up

391
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: with him he had the opportunity to dominate or win.

392
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 1: What about the way he can attack all levels of

393
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,639
Speaker 1: the field. I think some people look at the size

394
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: and say, well, five eight, five nine, maybe he's gonna

395
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: be a short intermediate guy. But Elijah Moore at the

396
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: collegiate level was short intermediate and vertical threat, no doubt.

397
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 1: You know that that hype thing, it doesn't come into play.

398
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: And you know, until the guy that showing him he

399
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 1: can't jump with a lodging. He just blows that he

400
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 1: can jump too. So I mean he might be five nine,

401
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 1: but when the ball is in there, he can jump

402
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: up and become six five all of us sudden, you

403
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: know what I mean with the vertical vertical, you know,

404
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 1: leaping the bill of then and then just knowing how

405
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: to play, knowing how to position his body, and you

406
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: know the hype part, you know, being more physical than

407
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: guys and beating him off the line of scrimmage. I

408
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 1: think that's probably the next act you're trying to talk about.

409
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: You know, him being a quick starter, but he can

410
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: explode off the line, and you know he can avoid

411
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: and guys try to dam him. He does a great

412
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: job of using his hands and use the technique. And

413
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 1: he's a guy like you said, he can excel and

414
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: touches and quick game, he can excel. And being in

415
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 1: the backfield, I mean we lined them up in South

416
00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: Carolina line to tailback line. U been a slot in

417
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,719
Speaker 1: line up as outside receiver. Um, you can put him

418
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,120
Speaker 1: in motion and of course, like you said, you can,

419
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: you can throw the ball deep to him. He has

420
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: enough speed under the hood and that he can beat

421
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 1: guys down the field vertically too, and really no weakness

422
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: in this game, you know. Besides everybody try to cut

423
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 1: him down about being about being a little bit shorter.

424
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,719
Speaker 1: He talked about his hands before, can you can you

425
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: um expand on that just a little bit in terms of, hey,

426
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 1: he's got sticky myths, but he's also tough. So the

427
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 1: ball would come over the middle and he knows he's

428
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: gonna take a shot, but all hang in there and

429
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna grab it, no doubt about it. I mean,

430
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,440
Speaker 1: it's it's a game in particular against uh against Kentucky

431
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: this past year, He's running a dig route going across

432
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: the middle of the field, balls behind, and the opened

433
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,199
Speaker 1: up his hills concentrate looked at football in and he

434
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 1: gets blasted right after it. But he needed to. He was,

435
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: you know, a key first down to keep a drive alive. Um.

436
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 1: I knew he had really good hands all during his career,

437
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: but it really got his implified against Alabama last season,

438
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: It's been raining all day. It's raining partly during the game.

439
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm me being a former running back. You

440
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: know if it rained, I freaking out. You know, I

441
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 1: was running back we can barely catch, and uh you know,

442
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: some of the other receivers worried about what what about

443
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: rain gloves, And all of a sudden, I see a

444
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,000
Speaker 1: lodger locks of code. I'm just gonna go bear handed

445
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 1: man and uh then didn't have a drop and confident

446
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 1: catching in the traffic, catching the ball hop on it.

447
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: I mean that showed me there, man, this guy was

448
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: the real deal, do in it against top quality competition

449
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,360
Speaker 1: and doing it and when the when the weather conditions

450
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 1: went perfect. Are the Jets getting in a Sunday talent?

451
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: You look at his collegiate career, thirty six receptions the

452
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: first year, sixty seven catches his second year, and then

453
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,360
Speaker 1: his third year, where you guys didn't even play a

454
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 1: full season. Well, Elijah than not play a full season

455
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: eighty six catches, no doubt. I think most teams want

456
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: to see it that way, seeing a guy getting better

457
00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: every season. And he did that. Uh you know, you

458
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: gotta get a lot of credit to coach Kiffing and

459
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: coach Levy. They came win in with an awesome plan,

460
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: figuring out way to get him touches and get him

461
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: the ball, and uh me, like you said, he did

462
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: it in the shortened season, you know, and and going

463
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: against top quality competition every every week, you know, playing

464
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: all this schedule, you know, staying healthy, you know, you know,

465
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: really taking the heart how we tell them to get

466
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: rest and taking the heart about putting the right food

467
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: in the body, you know, doing the right things in

468
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: the weight room and man he it all of that

469
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: and you know, it got a great reward and great

470
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: results from it last season. What is in the water

471
00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: down there with the receivers, DK, metcalf A, J. Brown.

472
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: Now you guys, sund Elijah more to the NFL. You know,

473
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: it's it's become you know, kind of a tradition here now,

474
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 1: you know, it's become a writer of patches, passage. You know,

475
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, my long career here, this is going on

476
00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: my four team year. Really one of the first guys

477
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 1: I see really do it and do it on a

478
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: high level and they come, you know a draft. The

479
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: NFL draftee was Dante Montcrief and after that was a

480
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: Crawing tread Well and then after that, of course you

481
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: got DK, you got a J and all those guys

482
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 1: kind of you know, left the position better than what

483
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,920
Speaker 1: they found it. You just much about the relationship these

484
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: guys have and the pride they have playing for Mississippi.

485
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 1: What was your reaction when you saw A J. Brown

486
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 1: with tears in his eyes after Elijah was drafted? Just genuine,

487
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 1: you know, uh, A J. Was probably one of the

488
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,359
Speaker 1: guys to help, you know, get a Lodger to even

489
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: come to school there, and you know, their relationship while

490
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: they they were there was you know great, and especially

491
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: on the field with these guys training and compete against

492
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 1: each other every day, and you know, I would imagine

493
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 1: a Lodger saw what A J did and use it

494
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: for a lot of motivation and say, you know what,

495
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: if he can do it, I can do it. And

496
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: I want to get team to train and I want

497
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: to push myself. And I'm also going to use it

498
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 1: for answers. You know, tell me about the process after

499
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: you left school world, you know, tell me about to combine,

500
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, tell me about the interviews and I'm getting

501
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: ready to do with these NFL teams. I think all

502
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: of that came into play with a larger minut and

503
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 1: learn from these guys. Not only talking about watching these

504
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 1: guys an example, how well is that position flex going

505
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: to help him here with the Jets running a West

506
00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 1: Coast system under Micha La Fleur. Uh. Robert Salez already said,

507
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: we we can put them outside the numbers. We can

508
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 1: play them with the slot. And you already mentioned before

509
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 1: their times at Mississippi, you put him in the offensive backfield.

510
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna help him tremendously. Um, I'm really

511
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: I think that's one of the reason why he was,

512
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 1: you know, such a you know, hot, hot draft pick,

513
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: because he did everything. You know, when he got to

514
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 1: a pro day, you didn't really have the testimon anything.

515
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: He basically did it all. I mean, if you want

516
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: to see him running post turn on the tape. You

517
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 1: want to see run the corner oute, turn on the tape.

518
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: You want to see him take a handoff turn on

519
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: the tape. You want to see him catch the screen

520
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 1: turn on the tape, you want to see him return

521
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,360
Speaker 1: the punt, turn on the tape. I mean, everything that

522
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,239
Speaker 1: they're looking for or have any ideas on where they

523
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: can use them. There are the examples of that everywhere

524
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 1: all over his film from college, Derek, what are you

525
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: gonna tell some of the recruits that you're after or

526
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: maybe some guys in your room next year and beyond

527
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 1: when they asked you about Elijah more uh number one,

528
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: just his heart and his work ethic number one. But

529
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: besides all the physical attributes so been never running fast

530
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 1: forty bit to catch the football man he demanded from

531
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 1: himself number one, and then demanded from his teammates and

532
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: they'd be at their very best. And a great example

533
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 1: of that. Man, We're in the middle of practice going

534
00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: on during the fall count and end those not going

535
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: particularly well like we wanted to, and man, he shuts

536
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: it down. He shut the whole thing down. We're throwing

537
00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks doing routes on there. He shuts it down,

538
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: and he grabs them all up, talked to him just

539
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: like it like a coach would, and we started the

540
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: whole period over and it was better for the rest

541
00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,400
Speaker 1: of the day. I mean that type of mentality with

542
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,239
Speaker 1: a guy coming in being on a mission, you know,

543
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: seeing past tomorrow, what he wanted his future to look

544
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 1: like and wanted his team to look like. I mean

545
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: that that speaks Biden's and that's what you're really looking

546
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: for when you're trying to recruit receivers to come here.

547
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: If you had an opportunity to catch up with him,

548
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: and as he told you about the situation he's currently

549
00:29:55,960 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: in because right off the bat, people have seen synergy

550
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: bet between him and fellow rookie Zack Wilson, and those

551
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: guys both absorbed so much they cannot get enough football.

552
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: And I just want to get your thoughts on Wilson's

553
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: skill set, how potentially is going to mess with Elijah

554
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 1: because Zach Wilson can make all the throws and he's

555
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 1: a highly athletic person himself. Yeah. I haven't been in

556
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: the catch up with a whole lot. You know, We've

557
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,720
Speaker 1: been kind of you know, chexing back and forth at times,

558
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, not knowing his schedule. We just had the

559
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:33,440
Speaker 1: probably the busiest month and probably college football history. Uh,

560
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 1: in the month of June has passed. Everybody had all

561
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 1: his pent up demand from you know, from from the

562
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: pandemic and whatnot, and we basically combined spring recruiting and

563
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 1: football camps and non officials all together one month. But

564
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,000
Speaker 1: I plan on you know, catching up with him a

565
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, as we get close to the season,

566
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: see how he's doing, to make sure he's ready to roll. Um.

567
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: I've seen Zach some won take and uh, you know,

568
00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: quick release, very accurate, and he's a attic and of

569
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 1: course make plays with his legs. And I'm excited for

570
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 1: Alijah to have a quarterback at that caliber to go

571
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: in and to go play with. So we've heard from

572
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:12,320
Speaker 1: Derek Knicks, We've heard from Tevin Allen. Let's talk about

573
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: what Elijah More brings to this receiver's room and really

574
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 1: what the Jets wide receiver's room looks like. And in

575
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: terms of More, I mentioned this earlier. He's valuable because

576
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:26,280
Speaker 1: he's versatile. He can line up inside, he can line

577
00:31:26,360 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: up outside, and I don't think that you're gonna line

578
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: up in the backfield. That's what Nicks was talking about.

579
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: They played South Carolina last year. They put him in

580
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 1: the backfield. He can he can line up all over

581
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: the place. He's an offensive weapon. This is where the

582
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 1: game is at right now in the National Football League.

583
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: And um, you know, and how about you're a big

584
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: number guy. Oh boy, you like the number eight? Yeah,

585
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: I do. I do, especially all because he warred in

586
00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: college and now this is the first year where receivers

587
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 1: can wear single digit numbers. And I think Elijah More

588
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,080
Speaker 1: and hey, I think it looks good. Do you not

589
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: like it? No? I think I don't know what you thought.

590
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: You are a monstrous number guys something that it was

591
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,479
Speaker 1: very relevant. I like the connection with two Day. You know,

592
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: we saw that a lot during the spring, and those

593
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 1: guys have an instantaneous connection. There's no denying that. You

594
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: don't have to see them in pads to say, oh,

595
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,080
Speaker 1: these these guys have good chemistry already. But you mentioned

596
00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 1: the wide Receiver group. Uh, you got some big bodies

597
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: space eaters on the outside, you can catch the ball.

598
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 1: I think when they're covered, box people out and go

599
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: up and get it and hide, point it and wile

600
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: that you have a lot of options on the inside

601
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 1: now too. Oh my god, it's it's really exciting the

602
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 1: potential of the group. And the other thing about more

603
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 1: is he in the spring was returning punts. I at

604
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: least started to brand Boy talked about needs to attract

605
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: the ball a little better and improved. But you know,

606
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't put it past Elijah more if he came

607
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 1: back and he was a much better punt returner in

608
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 1: terms of tracking, because it seems like all all he

609
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: does is work and we've seen it before where you know,

610
00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: how can how can you maximize your value? And Alijah

611
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: More clearly has a dynamic quality and he has multiple

612
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: dynamic qualities with his shift nous, with his four three speed,

613
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: and you would imagine that if he can track the

614
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,480
Speaker 1: ball well and if he has the proper vision, he

615
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: could really make a difference as a returner. And he's

616
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 1: a kid who believes in himself and he's going to

617
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 1: drive himself to the next level. Tevin Ellen during that

618
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:45,240
Speaker 1: time we spent with them, said More truly believes he

619
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 1: can be the best receiver ever. And when I was

620
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 1: done with that interview with Derrick Knicks, I said, thanks

621
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 1: for your time. And this didn't make it on here

622
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 1: during the podcast because interview had stopped. He said, this

623
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: kid is special, and this kid is special. That's how

624
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: we ended our conversation. I think, let me rephrase that,

625
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: I'm very excited to see what Elijah More can bring

626
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: to the Jets. And I think it'd be wrong to

627
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 1: just say no, he's five nine, stick him on the inside.

628
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 1: And you know, it wouldn't shock me if there were

629
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: situations where the Jets had Corey Davis on one side

630
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 1: Elijah More opposite him and then somebody else on the inside.

631
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,600
Speaker 1: So great point there about the versatility. And also you've

632
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,839
Speaker 1: mentioned us HOWD a couple of times. Nick reminded me

633
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: that Elijah More could jump out of the gym. So

634
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: people say, okay, five nine, Well, not only is he

635
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 1: an explosive runner in terms of a change of direction

636
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 1: skills and also straight ahead speed, he also is a

637
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:52,160
Speaker 1: big time leaper and he's strong as hell. He can

638
00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:55,839
Speaker 1: catch it in traffic, and he's got big hands. So

639
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,920
Speaker 1: five nine with big hands, tough, also can jump through

640
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 1: the roof. Uh, He's a threat at all three levels.

641
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,880
Speaker 1: I remember when the Jets drafted Elijah More. You know,

642
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: NFL Network had their little coverage right after each pick,

643
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: and Daniel Jeremiah said what he really liked about Elijah

644
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: More compared to somebody like Darius Tony, who was the

645
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: receiver drafted by the Giants, is that Elijah He thought

646
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,440
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore was a little more confident over the middle,

647
00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,239
Speaker 1: especially with his hands. And for somebody like Elijah Moore,

648
00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: who has had so much volume at his time in

649
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 1: terms of perceptions receiving yards, you can tell that he's polished.

650
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: And with the Jets, you know whether it's play action,

651
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 1: whether he's inside or outside, you'd imagine that he's gonna

652
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: be go going over the middle a decent amount and

653
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: then he's not gonna shy away. And Nick said he's

654
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 1: got no weakness in his game. And then you think

655
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 1: about the yards after the catch too, with the with

656
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: the breakaway speed and the quickness that he possesses. And

657
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 1: also you mentioned the fact his strength. I just I

658
00:35:56,719 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: just googled this. A J. Brown had nineteen reps of

659
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: two pounds at the combine and he's six oh two six.

660
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 1: Elijah Moore had seventeen reps and he's shorter and weighs less,

661
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: got a lot of muscle on that body. The Brooklyn

662
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: boys found out. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. Um So,

663
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:26,719
Speaker 1: I think he's another guy that how can you not

664
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: be excited about? And we've seen a lot of and

665
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: we're actually writing about this right now on the website

666
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 1: as far as who do you think is going to

667
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,080
Speaker 1: lead the jets and receptions and receiving yards, So do

668
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: you have any little hints for us or where are

669
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: you leaning here? Where Elijah more I leaned towards receptions

670
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: over receiving y'all, But it wouldn't surprise me if it

671
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: was both. But I really do think I mean I

672
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: say that, but I really you think that with the

673
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: connection we've seen so far in training camp between Zack

674
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: Wilson and Elijah More, it wouldn't surprise me if Elijah

675
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: Moore really became the security blanket. But maybe guys like

676
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,720
Speaker 1: Corey Davis Denzel Mims, the taller guys, maybe they would.

677
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,759
Speaker 1: I think they would be more likely to lead the

678
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: team in receiving the yard. And so I'm not going

679
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 1: to give away my answer, but I am going to

680
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: say that last year in San Francisco, obviously MICHAELA Fleur

681
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 1: part of the Shanahan staff, Brandon Ayouk led the forty

682
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 1: Niners in receptions and receiving yards, a rookie who only

683
00:37:34,760 --> 00:37:38,000
Speaker 1: appeared in twelve games. Now, they had quarterback problems last

684
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: year in terms of injuries, but you go back two

685
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 1: years ago, George Kittle, all world tight end, led the

686
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 1: team and receptions and receiving yards. But the receiver who

687
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:53,480
Speaker 1: led the forty Niners in terms of that group receptions

688
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: receiving yards also was a rookie. Deep Samuel. Yeah, it's very,

689
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: very good point. And know if you read the tea leaves,

690
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: I think you'll know he had an answer. I'm just

691
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: saying is that we've seen guys in this system come

692
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: on early as a rookie and make impact. And both

693
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,399
Speaker 1: of those dudes, I you can Samuel offer a little

694
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: more juice than just a receiver in terms of end arounds,

695
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: jet sweeps and more. Is clearly in that line. And

696
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 1: he's not just a vertical guy. Oh listen, bottom line,

697
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: fantasy players, I would not shy away for more because

698
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: he's a rookie, especially in PPR leagues. Is what he

699
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: a sang. So with that being said, I think that's

700
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: how we close out this episode of the Jets Podcast

701
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,440
Speaker 1: Profile series on the Official Jets Podcast
