1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: It brought you take us through when you went down

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: and your level of concern and yeah, I mean I'd

3
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: never had one before, so you know, when I got hit,

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: you know, I probably could have you know, popped up

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: with someone you know, to grab my arm and pulled

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: me up. But I was all right, yeah, this is

7
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: my first time having it. Just based off of what

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,640
Speaker 1: my teammates and guys that I've played with, what they

9
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: how they explained the stinger. I was, that's definitely how

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm feeling. You know, it was on my left side,

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: So just laid there for a sec sort of let it,

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,879
Speaker 1: you know, calm down and stuff, and then I was

13
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: able to get up, go to the tent and then

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:38,959
Speaker 1: you know, from there I got better. Literally as time

15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: went on, it just started going away. And that's why

16
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: I was able to get back in their mid drive.

17
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: Uh yeah I did, but you know, at that point,

18
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just more concerned about my body and stuff.

19
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: So that's cool. Seeing we're hearing the support from everybody,

20
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: that was pretty cool stuff. But remember when it comes

21
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: to pay through, appreciate. Yeah, you know, I'm the guy

22
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 1: hands on the ball off and then I turn back

23
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: and and watch you know sort of what he does,

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: bouncing off guys, making cuts, twisting off guys, and the

25
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: guy all these guys holding on to him. So I

26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: just see, you know, the beating that he takes and

27
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: just his grit to continue to drive his legs and

28
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: get extra yards and inches like, and then goes off

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: to the sideline and he's immediately you know, using their

30
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 1: guns and moving his body just non stop moving and

31
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,760
Speaker 1: so but we all respect it, man, like he's the

32
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: guy who does it all. And then he put him

33
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: out in the slot and throw him the ball and

34
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 1: he just does everything. He's smart, and so you know,

35
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: like I've said it before, man, we definitely you know,

36
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: look up to him and his toughness and he sets

37
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: the standard and we follow his lead. Yeah yeah, I mean,

38
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: you know when he does it still sort of blows

39
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: my mind. But at the same time, I'm like, that's Christian.

40
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: You know, He's done that time and time again, and

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, to see him continue to do that and

42
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: then get back in the huddle and then go run

43
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: a route and catch the ball and have an explosive

44
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: it's like, dude, this is crazy. So definitely thankful and

45
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: blessed to be playing with him obvious. The next one

46
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: to Mcaniffrey the people, and he was also very wide open.

47
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: Is that one where you are trying to miss him?

48
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: Like do you have to? Yeah? Yeah, I mean it

49
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: was you know, it's sort of just like a off

50
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: schedule play, a bounce out of the pocket, and then

51
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: I see him go down the field and at that point,

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: at that point, I didn't know is he gonna, you know,

53
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: continue to run straight? Is he turning to me? And

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: so I just sort of put it up in the air,

55
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: and man, he did a good job tracking it down,

56
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: catching it and then getting up and scoring. So uh,

57
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: sort of a tough you know moment right then and

58
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: there what to do with where the ball should be,

59
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: but we got it done. He just gave a great

60
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: description of a Christian and what he means to the team.

61
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: What's your dude, I think I think Christian should be

62
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: m v P. I think I really do believe that,

63
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 1: you know, he does everything for us, runs the ball, well,

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: can catch the ball, He does everything, and so in

65
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: my eyes, that's an m v P. I mean, I'm honored,

66
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 1: But man, I think you know, I have a great team.

67
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: You know, a great team around me and guys willing

68
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: to make plays and stuff. So I'm trying to do

69
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: my part and help help our team win. And I'm

70
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: very honored to hear it. But I think we just

71
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: have an m v P team overall, so coming yeah, yeah,

72
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean it's definitely a special game for me, obviously

73
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: coming home and stuff. You know, I came back here

74
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: for the Fest of Baal, but that was in COVID,

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: you know, so there wasn't that many people watching, just

76
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: family and friends. But now to come back and have

77
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: a whole stadium and and it felt like a game

78
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: that you know, in high school, I'd come and watched

79
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: the Cardinals and felt like that now I'm playing on

80
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: the on that field. It was so cool. So definitely

81
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: something I'll look back on in life and be very

82
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: thankful for. I don't even know the number. Yeah, I

83
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: only got tickets just for my family, just because there's

84
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: so many people in my life, you know, hit me

85
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: up for all that stuff. It was crazy. So I

86
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: just suck with my family. But I know a lot

87
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: of people in my life that came, and I'm very

88
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: thankful for them in their sport. Yeah, I haven't talked

89
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: to him, yet so but uh, I mean they saw

90
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: me go back in that drive and then score a

91
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: touchdown and stuff, so I'm sure they know I'm good Christian. Yeah,

92
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't want to go in there like

93
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: acting like it was a movie scene and and all

94
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: that stuff happened. It was more about, all right, I'm

95
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: back in here, like let's actually read out the defense.

96
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: What are we trying to do? And you know that's

97
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: what we're trying to do. Put up points and saw

98
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 1: Christian and the and zone on the play and got

99
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:08,040
Speaker 1: it done right this then celebrating Stone the long way. Yeah,

100
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's easy, you know, to get caught up

101
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: and all right, we have to do this, you know,

102
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: the the big goal, the big picture, and we should

103
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: always have that in mind. But man, I think all

104
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: of us that you don't. We don't want to just

105
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: get to the end and miss out on the whole process.

106
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 1: You know, we're still trying to enjoy the season, the games,

107
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: the little moments. I think guys here have played long

108
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: enough and they understand, you know, how to do that

109
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: and then obviously lock in. Uh we're on the team

110
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: that we're supposed to be playing next you know, So

111
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: enjoying the little moments and and things like that. But

112
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: you know, obviously it's the next game up and we

113
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: gotta win in advance. But he said he didn't want

114
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: to feel like a movie does this last year. I mean,

115
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: if you just look at the whole grand scheme of it, right,

116
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: being drafted last and all that. I mean, I guess

117
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: people could start saying stuff about movies and stuff, but man,

118
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,919
Speaker 1: for me, you know, I'm just staying one day at

119
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: a time. I'm playing football. I've dreamed of being able

120
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: to play in the NFL, and I got a great

121
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: team around me, and that's what's where I'm at, and

122
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: just trying to enjoy every day. Anything that you want

123
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 1: to see. Yeah, I mean to come home and have

124
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: everybody you know from high school, Perry and Queen Creek,

125
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: Gilbert to come to the game and support like they have,

126
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: and it means everything to me. You know, I've always

127
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: dreamed of being able to come home and play in

128
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: front of everybody, and just because of how much I

129
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 1: know that they have my back and support me, and

130
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: so I hope I was able to give them a

131
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: good game and I appreciate all that they've done for me.

132
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: In my life. Thanks
