1
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Could you just talk a little bit about.

2
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 2: How the deal sort of.

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: Came together and did did you think it was something

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: that was going to.

5
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: Be I don't know easy in any way, or did

6
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: you did did you have any reservation about whether you

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: guys could come to the terms that would satisfy both sides.

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know if I had any real

9
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: expectation for what that was gonna look like when we

10
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: first started to engage. It's uh, it's been something that

11
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: Andrew Berry and I have been working through for the

12
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 1: better part of two weeks. You know, got to give

13
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 1: him a shout out because you know, he made it

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: a seamless process. You know, certainly kept open lines of

15
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: communication for that duration, and you know, as I I

16
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: think think back to where we initially started with it

17
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: and where we ended, it certainly included some back and forth.

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 1: But along the way there was a pretty good pulse

19
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: for what the end was going to look like and

20
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: really what executing that once they were on the clock

21
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: would sort of shape out to be. And the fact

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,679
Speaker 1: that it came to life as seamlessly as it did

23
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: once the bell rung is something that was fulfilling and

24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: being able to sit here tonight with Travis Hunter as

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: a Jacksonville Jaguar is a vision that Liam, myself, Tony

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: and the rest of our coaching staff and scouting staff

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: certainly have a collective vision for and are really interested

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: in getting him here, getting him to the city, letting

29
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: our fan base began to feel him, and ultimately his

30
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: teammates began to get to work with him. I certainly

31
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: wanted to take a moment because I know both Liam

32
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: and I our wives had a chance to spend some

33
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: time with the fan base tonight at Lemon Bar, and

34
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: they certainly felt like they were at home. Certainly enjoyed

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: that turnout. Gave us a shout to to make sure that, uh,

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: we made mention of it, because uh, certainly this is

37
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 1: a an exciting moment in time for the Jacksonville Jaguars

38
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: and we look forward to us to come uh and

39
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: certainly appreciate the first question.

40
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: From Wall to Liam, what is your what is your vision?

41
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 2: Travis said?

42
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: The Travis gave a.

43
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 2: Very generic answer about how he would be utilized here,

44
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 2: you know, basically saying, you know, whatever the coaches think

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 2: and what have you, what is your vision for him?

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 2: Do you see him more as someone who would spend

47
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 2: more time on the offensive side of the ball as

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: a support for Trevor that you you and both James

49
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 2: and have sort of proposed in the past.

50
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: Or do you see him or you see.

51
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 2: It as kind of a a will see type of situation.

52
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a little bit more than a will see.

53
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: But we do have to be fluid throughout right. Well,

54
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 3: we'll have a plan right now of you know, primarily

55
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 3: on offense, with with learning the defensive system and practicing

56
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: on the defensive side of the ball as well throughout

57
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: this off season program, and then as we continue to grow.

58
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 3: We have to be fluid throughout this whole process. We've

59
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: had multiple conversations at length with athletic training equipment, sports science,

60
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: coaching equipment, everybody involved about this process and what it's

61
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 3: going to look like moving forward. So we have a

62
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: plan in place and that's really where we'll start.

63
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 2: For both of you guys.

64
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 4: Just what is it about Travis that made it so

65
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: valuable for you guys to move up and gave up.

66
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: A first round tick next year, second round pick? Just

67
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: all this pick?

68
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 2: What stands out about traps to make them that valuable?

69
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: You know, I think there's a lot of layers to that.

70
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: I'll try and touch on a few things right first

71
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: and foremost, we mentioned the idea that a trademark of

72
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: this leadership group, when there's an opportunity to be bold,

73
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: we're not going to flinch. I think this is a

74
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: reflection of that. In the same lens you've heard us

75
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: mention the idea of adding people who are intangibly rich

76
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: and Travis, in fact, as a player is rare, but

77
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: as a person, he's also rare. And beyond that, when

78
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: we say that, the idea of inviting people into our

79
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: ecosystem who, by being nothing more than who they are,

80
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: elevate the space is the epitome of what Travis is,

81
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: and we're not going to ask him to be any

82
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: more than him, because by doing so, he elevates not

83
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: only this football team, not only this city, but the

84
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: sport itself. Right along the way right you can count,

85
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: however many drafts you want to. There are players who

86
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,039
Speaker 1: have the capacity to alter a game. There are players

87
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: who have the capacity to alter the trajectory of a team.

88
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 1: There are very few players who have the capacity to

89
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: alter the trajectory of the sport. Travis, while he has

90
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 1: a lot to still earn in our eyes, has the

91
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: potential to do just that, and so it's an exciting

92
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 1: step for us to take and obviously a lot of

93
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 1: work to be done, because while Travis's dream is now reality,

94
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: he's still dreaming in a different way than most do.

95
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: He prepares in a different way than most do. But

96
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,679
Speaker 1: now it's time to bring you to life.

97
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 4: Just Liam, if you could just add on to that,

98
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 4: what stands.

99
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 2: Out to you from coaches perspective about Travis.

100
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 3: First and foremost, the competitor, the ability to play on

101
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 3: obviously both sides of the football, is just the player

102
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 3: in general, the snaps that he takes, the preparation, the accountability,

103
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: the way that he's in the building at five am training.

104
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 3: His body is a four point zero student and goes

105
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: out on the on the field and impacts the game

106
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: right on both sides of the ball. He impacts the game.

107
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 3: He's got a great feel for the game itself. When

108
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 3: he's on the offensive side of the ball, finding zone

109
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 3: in the in the defense, he's got really good ball skills.

110
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 3: He can do it, do something with it after the catch.

111
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 3: And then on the defensive side of the ball, he

112
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 3: finds it, and that's ultimately what we're trying to do

113
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 3: here is continue to find people that can help us

114
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 3: get our hands on the ball on the defensive side

115
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 3: and and go impact the game in that way.

116
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: Sorry, he told us that he hadn't spoken no, no, no,

117
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: that he hadn't spoken with anybody from the Jaguars's the combine.

118
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: Can you too recount your one on one or personal

119
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 1: interactions with him throughout this process. Yeah, that's an interesting

120
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: one because we hadn't touched base with him. We had

121
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: touched base with his his agents, his reps, uh, just

122
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: to get a pulse for what was gonna unfold over

123
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: the course of the first four picks with the idea

124
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: that we were sitting at five. But nonetheless, it's very

125
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: easy to feel that Travis has gravity and when he

126
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: walks into a room, the light turns on and regardless

127
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,719
Speaker 1: of if the electricity is actually in fact switched up.

128
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: But that was a moment that definitely resonated with us

129
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: and his engagement with our coaching staff. The questions that

130
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: he was asking as we were walking through some of

131
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,480
Speaker 1: his film and some of the install specific to the

132
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: plays that we run, it was really telling of the

133
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: mind that he has the curiosity, the interests, and growth.

134
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: There's certainly a vivid visual for why he is where

135
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: he is based off of that fifteen minute interaction. But obviously,

136
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 1: like I've articulated in the past, the weight of a

137
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: singular touch point like that doesn't hold much in our

138
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 1: eyes as opposed to some of the sourced intel over

139
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: the course of a player's life, whether it's at Colorado

140
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 1: for him at Jackson State or back to high school

141
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: and earlier. So certainly feel good about that interaction, feel

142
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: good about the process, and not sort of tipping the

143
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 1: hands as it related to what we were going to

144
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: do here tonight. But that's that's probably where we're at.

145
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: Mike.

146
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: When you guys were coming up with your draft plan,

147
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: was it we're going to go get Travis or was

148
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: it more like, hey, let's call the Browns and see

149
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: if we can work something out. And maybe that's a

150
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: great question, because I think it could go either way,

151
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,319
Speaker 1: and really the way in which it settled for us,

152
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: we had our initial dialogue without that in mind, and

153
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: just wanted to discuss the players in silos, get the

154
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,839
Speaker 1: take on how we would utilize each and really our

155
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: vision for their utilization. And you know, over the course

156
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: of time, as we began sleeping with our thoughts, right,

157
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 1: the idea of this combination of players, or this player

158
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: in and of himself is now going to be a

159
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: Jaguar once we make this selection. It got us to

160
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 1: a point where where Travis Hunter was most settling, and

161
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: we engaged in those conversations with the idea that, hey,

162
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: this this is more than likely going to be a stretch.

163
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 1: It's it's probably not going to be something that, uh,

164
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 1: we'll be able to bring to life. Let's just go

165
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 1: in with that expectation, so we're not ultimately disappointed. And

166
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: when things began to uh sort of grow and accelerate

167
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 1: over the coach of those conversations, uh, you know, obviously

168
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,400
Speaker 1: you get you become more firm in your your stance

169
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: and your pursuit and uh and so certainly happy with

170
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: the way that it unfolded here tonight.

171
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 4: Did you guys.

172
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: Get the framework of the deal done?

173
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 2: And there would essentially agreeing on officially today, yesterday, last

174
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 2: night or what was that.

175
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 1: I don't know when it was exactly. It wasn't today

176
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: or yesterday, so it was before that. But uh, you know,

177
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,480
Speaker 1: we had agreed on the framework, and then it was

178
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: just sitting with it, uh all the way up until

179
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 1: they were on the clock.

180
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 4: How you look at the draft capital reserve and you

181
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 4: pause about moving the.

182
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, Uh, I probably got some familiarity

183
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: with the uh them picks uh sort of process. So

184
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: for our fans, I'll tell you, don't be scared. This

185
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: is uh something I'm uniquely positioned to navigate. And uh

186
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: we ended up with jack We ended up we ended

187
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: up bringing Travis Hunter to Jacksonville. And with that, uh,

188
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: he is somebody who is deserving of a first round

189
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 1: draft pick as a wide receiver, and he is worthy

190
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: of a first round draft pick as a corner.

191
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 4: Uh.

192
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: Certainly look forward uh to each of those elements showing

193
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: themselves over the next few years while he's under his

194
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 1: rookie contract. But uh, yeah, we're excited about just getting

195
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 1: him in the boat, so to speak. You don't get

196
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 1: one chance to make a first empression.

197
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: Why is it so important to come away with the

198
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 2: splash to really start your tents?

199
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think this was a a certainly a statement

200
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: for you know, how we plan to move, how we

201
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: plan to operate. I think we did a lot of

202
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: talking up to this point and wanted to make sure

203
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: that we showed through action exactly what those words mean.

204
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 1: And I think that this is certainly a reflection, uh

205
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: of a lot of the catchphrases or so to speak,

206
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: catch phrases that uh may have been presumed as much,

207
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 1: but this is a uh, a real visual representation of

208
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,559
Speaker 1: what all that means. A couple more just to lease

209
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: to meet him going through John Liam Uh, you know,

210
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: adding obviously Travis or having Brian adding the homing free agency.

211
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 3: This is the kind of support and firepower you envision

212
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 3: putting around Trevor when you first got the STOVL.

213
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little bit.

214
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 3: You're always trying to add competition in in you know,

215
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: playmakers right as many there there's so many schemes that

216
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: you can devise and and execute and ultimately, when you

217
00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: have players that can win on their own and do

218
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 3: something with the ball on their own, I can't really

219
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: coach that, and defensive court of coordinators can't really coach

220
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: for that. So ultimately you're looking for players can they

221
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: win on their own and can they impact our offense

222
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 3: in that way? Yes, he does, and that is what

223
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 3: we were looking to do in so many ways. Try

224
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 3: to address the ability to block up front in the

225
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 3: in the pro free agency and get some more help

226
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 3: there and competition at that position on positions on the

227
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: old line, and try to go get this guy here, Liam.

228
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 2: If you've heard have you heard from any of your players,

229
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,560
Speaker 2: perhaps any fun anecdotes you can show.

230
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: Eric Armstead facetimed us right after and you could not

231
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 3: hear He could not hear us.

232
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: It was crazy there, but he was like, hey man,

233
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 1: this is I mean, he was He was great.

234
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 3: He said, way to make a first impression, you know.

235
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: Josh Heinz Allen texted me excited Trevor. Trevor as well,

236
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 3: and so that's been fun.

237
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: You're going to talk about being agile. So I think

238
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 1: Eric was originally slotted to do that the second round pick,

239
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: and he had hit me up at breakfast the other morning.

240
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: It was like, all looking forward to the opportunity heading

241
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: up this evening should be a blast. Thinking in the

242
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 1: back of my mind, I'm like, should I give him

243
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,559
Speaker 1: the heads up? But they pivoted and they remained agile.

244
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 1: They're in real time in Green Bay, and the atmosphere

245
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: there certainly looked great.

246
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 4: James You've mentioned being bold and not flinching. But I

247
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 4: want to ask where does that confidence come from? Because,

248
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 4: as multiple people have alluded to, this is your first draft.

249
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 1: It's going to be tied to your tenure here.

250
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 2: So where do you get that confidence from?

251
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: Oh, you know what, I think. I think preparation helps

252
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 1: with that. I think at the same time, you know,

253
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: just over the course of your life, you probably experiences

254
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: experience moments in which you didn't do something out of fear,

255
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: and you also experience the moments that you sort of

256
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: take the leap and begin to level and balance the

257
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: sensations that come with each And I know every step

258
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: that I didn't take that related to fear, I regret it,

259
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: and so that's not something I intend on doing the

260
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: rest of my life. So I think it's also something

261
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 1: that I would if ever giving advice to anybody, which

262
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: I don't say I should do all that often, because

263
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: each of us should sort of build off of our

264
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: own experiences or observing those of others. But not being

265
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: scared is something that goes a long way. Courage goes

266
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 1: a long way, I can tell you with that right

267
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: and within experience, that's where fear starts. To set in,

268
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: and the fear of the unknown is something that if

269
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: you can work past, there's no telling what you can

270
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: get to. And so I think certainly wanted to reflect

271
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 1: that not only into Night's actions, but in every action

272
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: that we take in our normal modes of operation. We

273
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: still have nine picks on the horizon, and as much

274
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 1: as we're excited about what took place here today, we're

275
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: excited about getting back to work and bringing those players

276
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: into this ecosystem to continue to level it up by

277
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: being again nothing more than who they are.

278
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 4: Also, a football that you brought in. I've seen the

279
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 4: pictures of you holding it. What is there a story

280
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 4: there or you know what?

281
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's probably it probably makes sense because

282
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: Liam probably feels very similar, right when when you grow

283
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: up in a football family or in a world of sport,

284
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: life feels a little better when a ball's in your hand.

285
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 1: And so I guess you can just say it's some

286
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: version of a fidget spinner, right and so so Liam

287
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: and I it's also like the power of touch. It's

288
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: our version of touch with each other and toss the

289
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 1: ball back and forth, brainstorming. Uh, So it's become a

290
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: version of a bridge, right, it's I don't even know

291
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: what the game was. The game is called. But when

292
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: you're like an elementary school and you're in a circle

293
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 1: and you pass the I don't know whatever, the ball, yeah,

294
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: potatoes up, but they like say something and then they ever, yeah,

295
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: it's your turn. You introduce yourself to something interesting. It's

296
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: just it's a cool little mechanism that brings us together

297
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: in a way as well. But yeah, so no real

298
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: deep meaning behind it other than it's just a toy. Yeah,

299
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: last squatch. I mean he can catch it. That makes

300
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: more more than I have. It usually takes quite a

301
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: few time. Liam.

302
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 2: How does Travis's extraordinary offensive talent pair with what Brian

303
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: Thomas can do on the other side for you guys,

304
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 2: With the potency of those two guys, I.

305
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: Think just adds another layer for the defense, right, for

306
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: them to have to defend against or not maybe be

307
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 3: able to double team one side of the field or

308
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: lean a safety which way, man VT working with him

309
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,400
Speaker 3: over the last few days was really impressive, really impressive.

310
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, freak.

311
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 3: So that was exciting and to be able to have

312
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 3: this opportunity now to you know, continue to add to

313
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: that room because that room this week I thought did

314
