I'm just wondering who 4 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: delivered that news to you and what that moment was 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 1: like for you, and typical fashion, it was Jake Bailey. 6 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,400 Speaker 1: I mean, he's given me a lot of good news. 7 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: But yeah, he he called me, I think, and he 8 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,599 Speaker 1: was like, congrats bro, you know, and it was it 9 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: was awesome because me, him, Me and him both made 10 00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: it on the list. So Jack's usually on top of 11 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: that stuff. So's he's my He's my ears, eyes and ears. 12 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: And do you ever stop to think about how far 13 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,519 Speaker 1: you've come from being a defensive back in college to 14 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 1: an All Pro punt returner. No, because I got a 15 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:52,160 Speaker 1: lot further to go. Man. Thanks Zach Coxon and Martinius. Hey, Gunner, 16 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: good to talk to you. I know you've spoken in 17 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: the past about how much respect you had for for 18 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: Julian I was just wondering what your reaction was to 19 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: him retiring and what kind of impact he had on 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: you as a player over these last two years. Man, 21 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: I don't think I could put it into words. Man, 22 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: he took me under his wing. Me and Jacobe both 23 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: kind of being underdog receivers. You know, Cos was a 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: former quarterback and me, I didn't play receiver, so he 25 00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: kind of showed us the ropes and you know it sucked, 26 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: But I know how he is. He wants to be 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: his best out there, and if he don't feel like 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 1: he can do that, he don't even want to be 29 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 1: out there. He's the ultimate competitor man, And that's that's 30 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 1: what I learned from him. Toughest dude I ever played with. 31 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 1: Great thank you. Yep, next time we'll go to Mark 32 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: Daniels and Mike rereas he Gunnar Hope, Paul as well. 33 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: So you know, after after becoming you know, an all 34 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 1: Pro punt returner and you know, setting a record and 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: leading the league in that, you know, obviously you said 36 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: there are things you need to improve on. You know 37 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: you take those accoletes, But what do you hope to 38 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: improve on? What are your goals you know heading into 39 00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: this offseason after you know, having a little success, bigger, faster, stronger, 40 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: and just earn everything that I get. Whatever whatever I 41 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: end up doing or playing or whatever, it's gonna be 42 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: what I earned. So you know how that is and Um, 43 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: if I can improve the team, that's that's what I 44 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: hope I can do by being on the field. But 45 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 1: everybody's got jobs to earn. Did you change anything this offseason? Nope, 46 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: stay right here in Foxborod, same thing I did last year, 47 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 1: So it's the best place to be. Thank you. M next, 48 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: so go to Mikerease and Nevin Wazaar. Hey Gunnar, how 49 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: you doing? What's up? Mic? I'm good? How are you? 50 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 1: I lost a bet. I guess Deeff Leppard was going 51 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: to be on the shirt today, so I'm down one 52 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: down one straight up Patriots. That's the way to go. Um. 53 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: You know what, I asked James White this question before 54 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: the schedule came out, and now that the schedules out, 55 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: I'd love to ask you, just from a player's perspective, 56 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 1: give like what what stood out to you when you 57 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: know when you're watching that, Like, what are you interested in? 58 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: To be honest, I didn't really peek at it. Um. 59 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: I obviously have heard of who our home games are 60 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,799 Speaker 1: and stuff, but nothing nothing really mean. I mean, we're 61 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: in phase one right now, so I got a ton 62 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: of other stuff that I'm working on. Obviously in US 63 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: as a team, But I really looked at the schedule. 64 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,680 Speaker 1: What what peeked out to you? Mike? Is it probably 65 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 1: for how did you know? I mean, we go week 66 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: to week as reporters, Gunner. You know, like I don't 67 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: like to look ahead, but sometimes I have to. Yeah, 68 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: and what do you like? That was one that interested 69 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 1: me because I was curious if it was gonna be late, 70 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: you know, bad weather early, and so I mean when 71 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: you saw that, I'm curious, what did you think? I'm excited? Yeah, 72 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: we get the defendant super Bowl champs at let so awesome. 73 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: And you you you introduced to saying to me that 74 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: I like, hustle is free. What has the hustle looked 75 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: like for you this offseason? Should has been eating and 76 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: running and lifting. That's the hustle. Next we'll go to 77 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: Evan Wizarre than our own Seagull. Hey, Gunner, I just 78 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: wanted to ask you this time of year, when you're 79 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 1: on your own, how much work do you put on 80 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: to punt returning, kick returning versus working on wide receiver 81 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: drills when you're on your own. I mean we're so 82 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: early in it that most of it is just the base, 83 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: like being in good shape and lifting, getting strong, and 84 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: just running, not necessarily running routes or catching punts, just running, 85 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: getting my legs up to where they need to be. 86 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: And then I think phase two is when we'll really 87 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: start with all that. And when it comes to punts, 88 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: you can never catch enough punts. So I bugged Jake 89 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: to pump me balls every once in a while. But 90 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:03,559 Speaker 1: it's a little bit of both, I guess, but nothing 91 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: too crazy right now, just catching catching my football is 92 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: catching me punts as I can. Allen Seagull, and then 93 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: we go to Chris Mason. Great, Gonna, how are you 94 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: doing this afternoon? I'm good? How are you okay? Thanks Gonna. 95 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: Obviously you're you're always an excitable guy and an upbeat guy. 96 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 1: But I'm wondering if this year, because it looks like 97 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: we're gonna get back to normal. It's going to be 98 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: fans in the stands and everything's just getting back to 99 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: way that the way things used to be last year 100 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: in your mind started and this year is there an 101 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:44,359 Speaker 1: excitable atmosphere and players that you've talked to your teammates 102 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: and stuff about what is ahead this year versus what 103 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: you went through last year? Yeah, I mean, at this 104 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: point last year, guys, we're wondering if we're even gonna 105 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,280 Speaker 1: have a season. You know, everybody's inside and nobody really knows. 106 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: But I think I mean now that we're here and 107 00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 1: the fans are going to be in the stands and 108 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: days are going to be a little more normal what 109 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 1: they were, and we're obviously having an off season, which 110 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: is huge. Guys are pumped. Guys were itching to get 111 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: back in the facility and start working out, and it's 112 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: great seeing all the guys and stuff. And finally, just 113 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: curious anybody call you Kyle little bit anymore or just Gunner. No, 114 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 1: I've never been called Caleb. The only people ever called 115 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: me Caleb were the substitute teachers in school. You know, 116 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: that's about the only people. Great. Thanks Gunner. Yea. And 117 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: the last hand I see raised is Chris Mason. So 118 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: if anybody else has any more questions for Gunna, Chris Mason, 119 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: go ahead.

I know you mentioned Julian taking you 121 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 1: under his wing earlier. I'm just wondering, what's your biggest 122 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 1: takeaway from the you know, two seasons you got to 123 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 1: spend with him, What do you think you'll remember most 124 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,239 Speaker 1: two words. Piston, vinegar. That's what that dude was all about. 125 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: I don't know if I can say that I'm here, 126 00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: but those are the two things that I'll never forget it. 127 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: You know, I got two more competitive stamina. That was 128 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: the other. That was the other one. I'm sure y'all 129 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: have heard that before. So yeah, this is the games. 130 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: Were stuck in there, written down in concrete. Awesome, Thanks Gunner. Yep, 131 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: I see other hands raised, so I think we'll hit 132 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: Derek Gunner.
