13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: the California LA area. Um, you know, I was leaving

Speaker 1: to have my family out here, and uh, you know

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: watch the draft. Did you have a workout the camp

16
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: or something you were going to getting ready for the draft? Sat? Yeah,

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 1: so I was out. I've been here in California the

18
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: entire you know, draft process. Um, you know, just living

19
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: out here and working out here training. Give us a

20
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: little insight as to I mean, you're five you're listened

21
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: to five nine two twenty three. I mean, and I've

22
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: watched some of your film and your highlights is of course, uh,

23
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: you seem to be able to shuck off tacklers really

24
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,759
Speaker 1: well and you don't shy away from contact. I mean

25
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: that's a it's a physical game. I know running backs

26
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: are built that way. But your style is one that

27
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: you seem to have great balance. What do you think

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: your best attribute is as a running back? I mean no,

29
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: I think you know, maybe it to be really really fersatile.

30
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: And I think you know, the best thing of that brain,

31
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: you know, is you know contact, balance and fishing. Um,

32
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, those two things that have allowed me to

33
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: have success over my career. Zach Boss, Bills running back

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 1: drafted today in the third round on the line with

35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: the Zeka Tell me about your style. I mean it

36
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: was funny a draft expert where he had on a

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: couple of minutes ago talking about you, said, in some ways,

38
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: you're very reminiscent of future Hall of Famer Frank Gore,

39
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: who played with the Bills last year. Do you know

40
00:01:58,360 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: Frank Gore? Silent? Would you compare yourself? Obviously, you're not

41
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: going to compare yourself to a guy going to the

42
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame. But do you think you run that

43
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: style anyway? What do you think? You know, I think definitely,

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 1: you know, I've taken a lot of things from Frank.

45
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: You know, growing up in the soft Florida, Miami area,

46
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: you know where Frank Gore is, you know very well know,

47
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: um no watching tape over him over the years. You know,

48
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: I definitely feel like I'm you know, taking a few

49
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 1: things from his game and try to implement him for

50
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: my games. UM. So you know, I definitely think you know,

51
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's probably some comparison there. What how

52
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,519
Speaker 1: much contact did you have with the Bills during your

53
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: pre draft process? Um? Pretty pretty pretty much a lot.

54
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: You know, we talked you know, uh Florida Draft and

55
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: then you know at the combine and then you know,

56
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: I was able to talk to coach Skipper um a

57
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 1: few times over the phone leading up to this entire draft. So, um,

58
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: I've talked to the Bills a few dire times in there, Hey, Zach,

59
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: like you, the Bills drafted another running back in the

60
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: third round last year, Devin Single or a different style obviously,

61
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: but what do you know about him and how do

62
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: you think they'll work out the workload there? In the

63
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: offensive backfield between you and the guy they call motor

64
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: Devin singletrire Um. You know, so I knew Devin, you know,

65
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: from growing up in South Florida. Sure, you know we

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: talked before here and there. But you know, you know,

67
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: my my thing is to come in, you know, and

68
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: trying to be you know, a good team man at

69
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: end of day, and you know, just trying to you know,

70
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: find my role and help the team win these many

71
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: games as possible. Um, no matter what they're asking me

72
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: to do. So, what's your plan over the next couple

73
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: of months, when everything's so so much up in the air, Um,

74
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: what's your plan about either staying in shape or where

75
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: are you gonna where are you gonna be in How

76
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: much have instruction or feedback from the bills have you gotten? Um?

77
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm probably I don't know exactly what

78
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to be at hunting yet, but you know

79
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to continue to stay in shape, work out

80
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,440

82
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: weird spring, Zach, I'm sure this is one of the

83
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: best things that's happened to use in the last six

84
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: weeks or so. Uh, and it's going to be difficult

85
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: without you know, without the normal offseason conditioning and workout

86
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: program for rookies. You're gonna have to hit the ground

87
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: running when you finally you you get started with the bills,

88
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: aren't you. Yeah, you know it's definitely been you know,

89
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: a huge things up for me. Any other year that

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: you know, this process happens. But um, you know, because

91
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: I do my part, you know, continue to stay safe,

92
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,680
