1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: Take me through your pre draft visit and just your 2 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: first experience of Pittsburgh. It was it was pretty neat 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: getting a chance to come out here, just getting out 4 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,360 Speaker 1: the plane and what was crazy On my visit they 5 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: had me like in the city and the hotel, so 6 00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: I wasn't really back here. So you know, like now 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: that I'm back here all the time, like it's almost 8 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: a different view to sign be out. We'd be practicing 9 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,240 Speaker 1: and stuff, so you know, it was different like pre draft. 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be like this, but it's 11 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: been fun so far. So what's something that surprises you 12 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: or something you've learned about this area. What surprised me 13 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: is how hot it was. Yeah, I've had a lot 14 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,240 Speaker 1: of jogging pants jackets, and but it was so hot 15 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: out that like the first couple of days and then 16 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: it rang and I thought it was gonna be cold, 17 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 1: but it was warm again. So I kind of like it. 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: I guess I'm just bringing that down South energy. It 19 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 1: doesn't still here all the time, so that's a good thing. Um, 20 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: what is it like working with the rook class, getting 21 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: a chance to meet veterans and really start the process 22 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: of Hey, you're in the NFL now. I mean for me, 23 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: it's just I open learn how to be a professional 24 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,280 Speaker 1: show to uh see the things they do to take 25 00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: care of their body longevity. You know, how they steady 26 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: their players to take notes. It's a bit transition, so 27 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: you know, hanging around the older guys, it'll help you 28 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: a lot, so you understand the difference between college and 29 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: being a professional athlete. Who's someone you're leading on the 30 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: veteran Miles Jack, I just kind of like just to 31 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 1: watch them, and you know, Minka, I just watch those 32 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: guys and Naga and now you know Cam, just watching them, 33 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: not so much as just verbally speaking to them, but 34 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: just watching the way they're moving, the way they handle business. 35 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: And you know, they might not even know it, but 36 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: I'm definitely paying attention. Those are good guys to pay 37 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: attention to. Um So, do coaches want you to mainly 38 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 1: work inside? And what are they telling you? I know 39 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: um Ta has said, you know a little bit about 40 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: adding somebody way to you. You know, for me, it's 41 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: just getting in the playbook, learning and stuff, being comfortable, 42 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: getting ready to play, like getting ready to you know, 43 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 1: just working hard every day to be the player that 44 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: they need me. To be whatever that is, whether it's 45 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: inside outside. But yeah, I've been working on the inside position, 46 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: you know, just trying to learn all the ends and 47 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: out different terminology and how we a lot to do 48 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 1: things around here. So that's been fun and you know, 49 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: I'm getting the hang of I'm looking forward to it. 50 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: In terms of the running back, you know, the transition 51 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 1: from a different side of the ball. How does that 52 00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: help you in terms of playing linebacker? Yeah, that's crazy. 53 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 1: I knew that one was coming. Everybody, well, you know, 54 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 1: they're very different, but they probably are helpful in a way, yes, ma'am, 55 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: they are. I think for me, I was trying to 56 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: like really be like a running back Hall of Fame 57 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: running back, So I used to study a lot of 58 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: stuff from the offensive side of the ball. So coming 59 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: over the defense, just understanding the way that running back 60 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 1: stinks and you know what they're looking for and things 61 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,919 Speaker 1: they see and their thought process. It helps me a lot. 62 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: You know, sometimes give me keys that other guys may 63 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: not be able to pick up on it. So you know, 64 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: just keep learning and try to do well on those 65 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 1: things and add to the package. I'm sure it's kind 66 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: of a whirlwind for you. Still you know, finding out 67 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: where you're moving to and starting practices and meetings and whatnot. 68 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 1: But training camps, you know, almost a few months away. 69 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: We could say that, what's one thing you want to 70 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: accomplish or do before you even get to that point 71 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 1: of your rookie season. It's just it's a day to 72 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: day like routine is just looking forward to establishing daily 73 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: routine as a professional athlete, like whether that be um 74 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 1: early morning workouts, we have all day, different type of 75 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: diets and nutritionists and just learn how to be a 76 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,360 Speaker 1: better meat so that whenever the time do come that 77 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: I'm way better than what they thought I would be. 78 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: That's the goal.
