00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: just in case I didn't get drafted, but I had

00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: general ratio of college.

20
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: I didn't play any slot at all. I just played strictly,

21
00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: uh corner, outside corner.

22
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: All the scouting reports mentioned your physicality, like obviously physical

23
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: football is a physical game, But like where else does

Speaker 2: how why is that your mindset?

28
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: I guess I wouldn't say. I was kind of boring

29
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,160
Speaker 1: way of growing up older cousins and you kind of

30
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,600

31
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: of the tough dog out of the little family. So

32
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 1: kind of was boring with it, kind of groomed into it.

33
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:20,600

00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: I can fit any scheme.

46
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 2: Kay. Oh did you have a relationship with those shame?

47
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: Oh, shame, older be I came. I went to older

48
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: you at in junior I came from a junior college,

49
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: so I personally didn't get the meato shame, but he

50
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: most definitely welcome me in when I first when he

51
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: came up here today, Yeah, what did he mean to

52
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: guys playing at OLDU? I mean, not everybody there is

53
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: prime for the NFL. He meant, he meant a lot.

54
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't there when a lot of people

55
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: were there. But people kind of look up to him

56
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: because we don't have a lot of people going into

57
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: the NFL a lot of draft picks. So when he

58
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: comes in, he's most definitely welcome. But when you know,

59
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: whatever guy gets drafted like you, you know, not from

60
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: Power five type, situation was okay? Level of competition? You know,

61
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: can he step it up to the next level? What

62
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: do you say to that?

63
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: And you know, maybe what are some of the best

64
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 2: guys you played against?

65
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 1: That with the truth at that point you repeat the

66
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: question again.

67
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 2: As far as a level of competition.

68
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: Level of competition, everyone al whish wants.

69
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 2: To ask a guy like keeping up white it take

70
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: it up at the next level.

71
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: I I don't look too much in the level of competition.

72
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: I mean when I when I faced a guy who

73
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: came from Power five, I mean when we hit the

74
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: NFL PARA five or some builder D two, doesn't matter

75
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: if you getting in NFL, you got the same competition,

76
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: I mean Randy Marshall, he went where you go Marshall? Yeah,

77
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: he went to Marshall. I mean it's it's great everywhere.

78
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: So level competitions is too much of a difference. How

79
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: also that, okay, Jo, how much that joc mentality carroll

80
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: with you.

81
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: To the day to what you announce.

82
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: Juco mentality is more so like eater star, So it's

83
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: kind of the same thing here as kind of EA

84
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: A star. How much you study your games?

85
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 2: Did you play?

86
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Maybe? What sort of specialty stuff did you do? Though

87
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: I didn't. I didn't play a lot of special teams

88
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: in my my ed oh to you, but at ju Go,

89
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: I played special teams around. I played punk, kickoff, kickoff, return,

90
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: pretty much a little bit of everything.

91
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: I would think that that's something that needs probably would

92
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 2: embraced the opportunity. I know you wanna play a defensive words,

93
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 2: but obviously you gotta come in as a rookie.

94
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: It's gonna have to try, Yes, so I wanna. I'm

95
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: pretty sure I'm gonna have to earn my trust on

96
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: special teams and I'm I'm looking forward to taking that row.

Speaker 1: through the facility kind of being one of the guys.

130
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,159

131
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: You mentioned the top thirty visit. On's stuck out about

132
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 2: that and specifically have to giants.

133
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 1: I mean like everybody kind of bonded, like you could see,

134
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: like from the coaches to the staff. It's just like

135
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: everybody kind of just have ah a good relationship with

136
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 1: each other. And that's kind of something I really pride

137
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 1: myself in. And just like being able to aks somebody

138
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: and like being able to look somebody outside of a coach,

139
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: like treating somebody like family. And I guess not every cornerback,

140
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: not every corner back bun stuff you get to the

141
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: line and make tackles and things like that. Oh, I

142
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: know that's something they say you can do what what

143
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: separates you as a cornerback and up repeat that again

144
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: as far as you know, coming up to the line

145
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: making tackles.

146
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, you know, being involved in

147
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 2: the run game and things like that.

148
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean, like you kind of you kind of just

149
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: said it on every corner, don't wanna tackle. I feel

150
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: like that's something I do pride myself in being an

151
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 1: overall football player from covering in too making time cause

152
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: basically the versatilitybody
