13
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: let's get right into it. I think you were born

14
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: in Alabama, but you were raised in Louisville, Kentucky.

15
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: So where do you say you're from? Like? Where are

16
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: you claiming right now?

17
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 3: Yeah? Really it's crazy.

18
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 4: I really claim South Carolina, Okay, but I gotta give roots.

19
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 4: I grew up in Kentucky. My family's from Kentucky. Just

20
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 4: happy to move there, you know, halfway through my life.

21
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,639
Speaker 4: And you know that's where I call home down in Greenville.

22
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 2: Okay. Nice, I love that.

23
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: So you come from a family of athletes, like you

24
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 1: know your dad and who's the best athlete in the family.

25
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 4: Shot, it's me, it's you me all my other day.

26
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 4: I got the athletic jeans, my brothers and stuff. They

27
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 4: got the size. So what I lack, I lacked what

28
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 4: they didn't have.

29
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 1: Okay, when did you start playing football? Like when did

30
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 1: it become a passion for you? Like when you started

31
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: playing initially and then when you knew you were gonna

32
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,279
Speaker 1: be something like when did that happen?

33
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I definitely started. I was young, so like my

34
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 4: older brothers and stuff like that. When I was growing up,

35
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 4: they were my role models. So I used to watch

36
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: them my practice, should go run with them. So I'd

37
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 4: say about five years old, I started playing football and

38
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: that kind of was my thing. And never ever really

39
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 4: thought I was gonna be too much. I just loved

40
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 4: playing football my whole life. Then you know, I got

41
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 4: to high school, start putting in real work, like you

42
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 4: know what, you go to training all the time, and

43
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 4: you trying to start going to camps, and I'm like,

44
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 4: I can hang with a lot of these guys, Like

45
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: I think I deserve a shot. So I think after

46
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 4: my sophomore year, I was like, yeah, I can do this.

47
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: It's funny how high school has that thing right, like

48
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: when you know, when the game started, especially for myself

49
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: in high school, like when the game started to become easy,

50
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: or there were things that were happening there and that

51
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: were kind of out of body experiences. They're like, yo,

52
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: I just did that, and like everybody's kind of amazed,

53
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: like okay, maybe I could do something here, but like myself,

54
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: you also did a little track and feel too. You

55
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: were a state champion in the triple jump. Yeah, talk

56
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 1: to me about like your love of track, like where

57
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 1: that came from. Where you a football guy running track?

58
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:20,839
Speaker 1: Or was track a passion for you as well?

59
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 4: Track was really a passion Like my whole life. It

60
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 4: kind of was just like built in. My mom did track,

61
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 4: she used to do hurdle was in high school, so

62
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 4: I always heard about it. And then growing up I

63
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 4: did track. I just always would run and I always

64
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: was the fastest, so it's kind of just made sense.

65
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 4: And then I got the high school. I fell in

66
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 4: love with the whole jumping scene, and you used to

67
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 4: go on YouTube and look up videos of how to

68
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 4: do triple jump and ended up going out and went

69
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 4: and stayed off.

70
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: It was pretty cool.

71
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 1: Because triple jump isn't easy, like I learned in high

72
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: school too, and it's not a normal thing that your

73
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: body is used to doing. Like just regular long jump

74
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: is one thing you just run in and jump off

75
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 1: the pady going, but the technique of the triple jump

76
00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: is not easy. So kudos to you for dominating in that.

77
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: Joining in high school, I saw you were a triple

78
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:04,359
Speaker 1: jump champion or.

79
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: Got that out the way.

80
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: Now this viral car jump video, talk to me about

81
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: that at the artificial intelligence that was used to do

82
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: this or how fake it is or who CGI did

83
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: because I just I don't believe it personally, So let

84
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 1: me know if it's actually real and how it came about.

85
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's real, and I got in some real trouble

86
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,839
Speaker 4: for that. It's funny story. It's happened after school one day.

87
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 4: You know, you're in high school. You talking to your

88
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: friends like, I bet you could jump over a car.

89
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 4: It's like no, So after school I just went and

90
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 4: did it, jumped over it, took the video posted on Twitter.

91
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: High school coach, take it down. That's too dangerous. YadA,

92
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 4: YadA YadA. What kind of car did you jump over?

93
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 2: It was an ultimate Okay, and it was in motion

94
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: or over ran.

95
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: And jumped over top of you guys.

96
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 4: So I had to delete it at first, then reposted

97
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 4: it after my one of my other high school coach,

98
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 4: She's like, that was really cool, was like keep it up.

99
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: I was like, yeah, reposted it.

100
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 4: Blew up from there and it was pretty cool because

101
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: to this day people still talking about it.

102
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: That's dope.

103
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: I think there should be always ways obviously barring any

104
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: safety issues are concerious, right, but I think there should

105
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: always be ways outside of the game that if athletes

106
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: could like market themselves or show their athleticism. We had

107
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 1: a guy named Jason Pierre Paul who I feel like

108
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 1: was a phenomenal player for US obviously, but I think

109
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: the one thing that stood out for him was that

110
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: he didn't mind you. He was I think what six '

111
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: four to seventy two eighty probably, and the man did

112
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: eleven backflips.

113
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: Like he just posted a clip of him. I don't

114
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 2: even know. They were training down.

115
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: To South Florida and he just did eleven consecutive backflipst

116
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 1: And I'm sure if the Giants didn't like him before that,

117
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: they saw that could have It was like, we're drafting

118
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: that guy.

119
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

120
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 2: So I definitely get it.

121
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 3: That's crazy, that's funny.

122
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 2: You chose Kentucky to go to college. Why.

123
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: I know your dad went there as well, But was

124
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: that part of your reasoning for going to Kentucky as well?

125
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 4: No, it was total, like it had nothing to do

126
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 4: with it. My thing came down to the area, my grandparents. Also,

127
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 4: the road and the coaches, coach stoops and everything. They

128
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: did a great job. I've always seen guys because I

129
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 4: was a fan of them growing up, and when they

130
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: started recruiting me and I felt like I could really

131
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 4: be a family, part of family up there.

132
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: I just want to help. Did you go there with

133
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: Wandelle as well?

134
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: I did one year there? Of one day, Okay, this

135
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 3: one year.

136
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: There, I was trapping him up in practice, Like what

137
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: was the battles like in practice going up against Wande.

138
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 4: We had some competition on a few plays. You know,

139
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 4: I think each of each of each other tell a

140
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 4: different story. But I feel like we eas did our

141
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 4: little thing.

142
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: I love that.

143
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: Okay, Now take me the draft day right, like a

144
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: kid from South Carolina coming from Kentucky, obviously, what was

145
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: the energy like being drafted, especially being drafted a and

146
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 1: then coming up to New York City specifically, like what

147
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: were your thoughts when you got drafted and the idea

148
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: of coming to the big city.

149
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 4: When I got drafted, I mean, it's almost like you

150
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 4: black out, you know, for a guy like me, and

151
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 4: then moment like that, it was just like, Wow, this

152
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 4: is crazy. And also with the New York coming up here.

153
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 4: You know, I came here for a visit beforehand and

154
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 4: got to meet a lot of these guys and I

155
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: liked him. I had a good relationship just from that

156
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: one right there, and you know, I was excited like

157
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 4: it was nothing. And then growing up in the South

158
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: and from South Carolina, Kentucky, now I'm in New York,

159
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 4: it was just like how am I gonna.

Speaker 4: But you know you've got to jump in no feet

163
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 4: first and just figure it out yourself.

164
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: How's it been for you? How's the vibe? How's the

165
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: vibe in New York?

166
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: You've been here for quite some time now, I feel

167
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 1: like you're settled in. Like what's the vibe in New

168
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,599

00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 4: I mean like every day I can find something new.

173
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 4: If that's I go get a restaurant. I have my

174
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 4: friends come up and my family come up, and every

175
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: time I'm like, let's go try this or that, and

176
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 4: you know, it's every day's a new try and experience.

177
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 3: But I love it.

178
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 4: There's always something you can go to the city, over

179
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 4: the water, you find anything in the city.

180
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: So now I have some.

181
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 1: Short conversations with my guy in the Leak neighbors and

182
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: his family. His mother is sending him food every single week.

183
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: Are you one of those guys that's being sent food

184
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: to your house every single week?

185
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: Is that a thing down to now?

186
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: I don't have I wish my mom would send me cooking.

187
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: Every week, But okay, I just have to make sure

Speaker 2: Mama is sending in that good food, which I love. Now.

191
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: New York is obviously a big city of fashion, where

192
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: the way you look and the way you represent yourself

193
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: as a big deal. I've been keeping an eye on

194
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: your fashion game. Lately, I've been seeing the vibes very

195
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: well dressed, very well put together. Talk to me about

196
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: kind of your game day style aspect and what your

197
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: style is for yourself.

198
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 2: When you get ready for game day.

199
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely, it kind of goes off how I'm feeling

200
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: that day. If it's kind of like some days, you know,

201
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 4: you especially at those primetime games where you really want

202
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 4: to show out. I put on my best fit. I mean,

203
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 4: I'll go shot four weeks in advance of that. But

204
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 4: then most other games, it's just like, yeah, how am

205
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 4: I feeling that day? Some days it's a sweatpants, something chill,

206
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 4: or some days you still want to put something on.

207
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: Just go in my closet and I just looked through

208
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 4: and that morning I just put music on, get ready

209
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: for the game.

210
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: I'm just feeling the vibe.

211
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: What's the music? What's the music choices? You are?

212
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 3: Now?

213
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: What are you listening to?

214
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 1: You driving on the way to the game. It's a

215
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: home game, it's prime time. What's what's on the what's

216
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: on the tunes?

217
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 4: I put on, like you know, before the games, I'm

218
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 4: really like on the way I listened to Rap a lot,

219
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 4: just kind of get the vibes going a little bit,

220
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 4: So I listened to some gunner or some little baby,

221
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 4: you know, things of that sort. But then when I

222
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: get here, it's more chill vibes. I'm listening to my

223
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: R and B music, the whole genre, and I'm just relaxing,

224
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 4: getting ready to know what I got taken.

225
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: Are you a fan of like the Louisville Are you

226
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: a Jack Harlow guy?

227
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 2: Are you like? Are you listening too?

228
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 3: Listened?

229
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 1: I listened to him, ye, because Louisville kind of had

230
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 1: a moment and still does. I mean, those guys are

231
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,840
Speaker 1: still relevant, still doing your things. So I was a

232
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: guy that has some superstitions when I was playing right, like,

233
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: I want to say something more of a routine. But

234
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: I did have much of the chagrin of everybody in here.

235
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,319
Speaker 1: There was a collective gasp when I told everybody that

236
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: I wore the same sock for a few years. I

237
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: washed the brown side, washed it, but it was the

238
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: same sock. And there was a whole thing around that.

239
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: But do you have any superstitions that you do, or

240
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 1: any routines or anything that that you do before game?

241
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: No, same socks. There's not too much. I mean I'm

242
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 3: just sticking to the schedule. I'll wake up.

243
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 4: I kind of got my routine where I'll eat at

244
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 4: the same time and I eat the same pregame meal

245
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 4: every time. You just eat something like like I eat fruit,

246
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 4: pineapples and stuff of that sort. But I'm just blasting

247
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 4: music and getting ready for the games.

248
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm the same way.

249
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: I couldn't.

250
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: Like, I know, I've seen guys, especially before games, have

251
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: like a pile of food in front of them before.

252
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, I can't.

253
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: I'd probably throw up if I had a bunch of

254
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: food and then tried to get myself ready to play.

255
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: So so I'm kind of with you on down the

256
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: light meal vibe. Now it's your rookie season. What has

257
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 1: been your like moment where you're like, okay, I'm in

258
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: the league now, like this is this is a different

259
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,320
Speaker 1: thing in college. Maybe it's a receiver that you went

260
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: head to head against and did something, or you had

261
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: a moment with with another person or another opposing athlete

262
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,319
Speaker 1: that you were like, Okay, this is different.

263
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 2: I'm in the league now. What was that moment for you?

264
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think my I had a game, my second

265
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,160
Speaker 4: game against the Commanders and the guys are pretty let

266
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 4: me free. I just kind of just felt in tune

267
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 4: with the game plan and what was going on. And

268
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 4: when you got guys like I don't really mind about

269
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 4: the other team, but when you got guys on my

270
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 4: team like Dexter and Burns and they walk up to

271
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 4: me and they're like, you're you're doing it out here, I'm.

272
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 3: Like, oh yeah, Like these are the cool guys that

273
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: they're telling me I'm doing good. So it just kind

274
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: of fuels me.

275
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 4: But that game was a good one for comps, like, Okay,

276
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 4: I can go out here and I can I can

277
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 4: bang it out with these guys I belong.

278
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: So it was pretty fun.

279
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 2: I love that.

280
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: I think there's something when the leaders of the team

281
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: kind of come up to you and say like you're

282
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: one of us now, when they give you that standard

283
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: of approval, that's always a great thing. I had some

284
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: some defensive back comps for you. But who do you

285
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 1: model your game after?

286
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 4: Shoot, when I was growing up, I have said Tyron

287
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 4: Matthew and still still like I just plays kind of

288
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 4: like a little reckless, but you just kind to go

289
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: make a play.

290
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 3: That's kind of who I always say my whole life.

291
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of the guy I have for you

292
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: because he kind of has this like you could tell

293
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: he's a smart guy. He's a smart defender and he

294
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: knows what he's supposed to be, but he plays with

295
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: this like kind of care free attitude of like I'm here,

296
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make a play when it comes to me,

297
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: and but I'm out here in tune with what's going

298
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,599
Speaker 1: on in the game plan as well, you know what

299
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 1: I mean. So switching gears a little bit. I want

300
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: to talk hobbies. I want to talk things you do

301
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,719
Speaker 1: outside the game. What are some of the hobbies you love.

302
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 1: I heard you like to collect shoes. I collect sneakers

303
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: as well. I used to. It's kind of becoming a

304
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 1: little bit overwhelming in the closet right now.

305
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: But like, what are your hobbies? What do you like

306
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: to get into outside of the game.

307
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, like you said the shoes and closed part, I'm

308
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 4: always doing stuff like that. I play the game a lot.

309
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: So when I'm not out here doing football just relaxing, debrief,

310
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: I go on a game with my my friends. Like

311
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 4: it's mad in her call of duty. But if not,

312
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 4: especially being up here right now, I'm just going and

313
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 4: trying new foods. I became a foodie since I came

314
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 4: up here. So if I'm driving down the street, I'm like, oh,

315
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,520

361
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,320

362
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: first position you ever played?

363
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 3: Running back?

364
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 2: Running back? And I was I was Little Drew as

365
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 2: a running back. I was fast, was fast.

366
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 3: I just hit the edge, was running.

367
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: I remember because I played running back little league too,

368
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: and I distinctly remember not understanding the concept of like

369
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: dive or like twenty one whatever power whatever play and

370
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: I would run up to the hole and then literally

371
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 1: bounce it out and go the sideline every time. Okay,

372
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: next one, first interception?

373
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 3: Uh, that's gotta be a little league too.
