1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Hey, ted Us, Welcome to Indy. I'm just wondering if

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: you could kind of lay out your background as far

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: as how you kind of got to the point of

4
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 1: transitioning to be an edge player. I know you played

5
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: safety and wide receivers, so how to kind of build

6
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: to this point.

7
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 2: I got recruited as a receiver going to college back

8
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,319
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen. Defense pretty banged up my freshman year,

9
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 2: and my head coach I played both sides of the

10
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,599
Speaker 2: ball my freshman year as well, so my head coach

11
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: is like, heck, hey, you just going to transition the

12
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: defense and stick to it. And I was. I was

13
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: all for it. Just get on the field and just compete.

14
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 2: I was all for it. Jack Garth. That really transition work.

15
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: Jack Garthur.

16
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so so far those stack numbers aren't there, but

17
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 3: lots of tackle for lost numbers. Is that just you're

18
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 3: still coming along in that development. I've team has been

19
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 3: telling you that you're scratching the surface. What's what's been

20
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: the feedback as far as what they expect you to

21
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 3: develop into.

22
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm expected to develop as an edge rush yer. Really,

23
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: I'm just as I said, I'm readings scratching the service

24
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,959
Speaker 2: of my potential transition. I played. I played strong side linebacker,

25
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 2: played receiver, safety, and edge, and I've only played defensive

26
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: band in the add rushier for only twenty two games,

27
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: just two seasons. So I'm still really a rookie at

28
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,759
Speaker 2: this position and just developing into it.

29
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 4: All right, James Boyden, how do you doing congrafts? Again?

30
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 4: But what made you commit to the edge. You know,

31
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 4: sometimes guys might not want to put positions or go

32
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,960
Speaker 4: all in with something. I mean, it's probably rewarding now,

33
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 4: but when you don't see it like right then in

34
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 4: the moment, like I'm going to get to the NFL

35
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 4: at this position, what made you give that, have that

36
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 4: conviction to just believe in it.

37
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: I always believed the coach is no best and that's

38
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: the put the best position to coaches thought I could play.

39
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: So I just listened to my coach and committed to it.

40
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: I just followed the process of football, just followed just

41
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: listen to my coaches. That's really all I was. I

42
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: just kept on grinding and kept my head down, just

43
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: trying to keep getting better every single day at it.

44
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 4: Did you expect to get drafted? I don't mean that

45
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 4: in the rude W. I mean, just what was the

46
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 4: process where you in front of the TV, where you

47
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 4: hand on family. Can you give us behind the scenes

48
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: of how you got the call and how it came together.

49
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: I was down in a small little restaurant with my

50
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: family and my agent, and that my agent and I

51
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 2: went upstairs to the office. Everyone's just like, hang out there,

52
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 2: let the sixth round and play off and see where

53
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: we at. That I got the call. That was it,

54
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 2: the rest of the history. I'm ready to go
