1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: This week I caught up with the Patriots wide out. Jacoby. 2 00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: You were the story of the night on Monday after 3 00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: having a career day. But perhaps an even bigger story 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 1: that surfaced was your relationship with Cam Newton. What was 5 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: sixteen year old Jacoby Myers like when you went to 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 1: that seven on seven camp with Cam Newton? Well, I 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 1: was a couple inches shorter, a lot less and wait, 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: just out there just trying to throw the ball around. 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it was a time for me to meet 10 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,240 Speaker 1: a lot of kids from my area who were going 11 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: to play college football somewhere else. And it gave me 12 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,120 Speaker 1: a chance to meet a lot of people, play with 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: somebody who I looked up to, which was Cam and 14 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 1: it was it was a great opportunity and I'm happy 15 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: I got a chance to experience that. Sorry, have this 16 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: picture here, oh man, this sixteen year old Jacoby here. 17 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: It looks like you're on a bus. What was going 18 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: through your mind? I have no probably trying to go home. 19 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: Can't you just take me home? Please? All the way? 20 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: So when the news broke that the Patriots signed to 21 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 1: Cam Newton, that meant a little more to you. What 22 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,119 Speaker 1: was your reaction? I was actually extatic about it because 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,960 Speaker 1: having a familiar face it always makes you a little 24 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: more comfortable, you know, being here. I didn't know too 25 00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,200 Speaker 1: many people when I first got here. I was kind 26 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: of just doing it on my own. But having Cam 27 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: and just knowing where he come from and knowing that 28 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,319 Speaker 1: he's from the area, it definitely made me a little 29 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: more excited to come back and get to work. And Jacobe, 30 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: your position group has been plagued with some injuries and 31 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: you finally got your number called. You got that opportunity 32 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,639 Speaker 1: and you felt comfortable because you're catching passes from someone 33 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: that you know in Cam Newton. What was that like 34 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: for you? I was a blessing, you know, I only 35 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 1: really thank God for it. It was a lot of patience, honestly, 36 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: just believing in myself, trying to maintain that confidence, and 37 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: when my number was called, hopefully I got out there 38 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: and just leave it all in the field because you 39 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 1: never know an opportunity coming again, so just trying to 40 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: take advantage of every second that I had on field. 41 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 1: You dealt with a lot since you entered the NFL. 42 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 1: You came in as an undrafted free agent, made it 43 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: through your rookie year, and then we're dealing with some 44 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: injuries throughout training camp. What kept you confident that you 45 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: could make this team and make an impact? Honestly, the 46 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: fact that I knew I had a lot of people 47 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: who just believed in me, And I feel like if 48 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: I didn't come out here every day and give them 49 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 1: all one hundred percent every day, I would just let 50 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 1: them down. You know, the years that they put into 51 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 1: me and the lessons that they put into me, I 52 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: couldn't let that go to ways. When we spoke with 53 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: Gunner Oshevski last week, he told me that he wasn't 54 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: surprised at all that you were making an impact on 55 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: the field. What has it been like coming in with 56 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 1: that rookie class, Gunner and nikkiel and helping each other 57 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: get better. I'm not gonna lie. We had some days 58 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: where we thought it was gonna get separated and sent 59 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: home quickly. I mean, we had ab the merriest time. 60 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: I don't know how we made it through, but we 61 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: did somehow, and we still here kicking it every day. 62 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: So it's a blessing to have Gunner in my corner. Honestly, 63 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: I love having him here like my brother. Honestly, I 64 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: know we look a little different, but definitely like my 65 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: brother and just seeing him every day, he bring a 66 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: lot of energy to the room, seeing the kill every day. 67 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 1: It's a good opportunity for all of us and hopefully 68 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: we can stay together as long as we possibly can. 69 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: As they mentioned at the top, a career day for you, 70 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: but there's still much more to come for Jacobe Myers. 71 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: How do you build off of Monday's performance consistency? You know, 72 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,119 Speaker 1: it's easy to go out there and do it one time, 73 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: but I'm not trying to be a one hit wonder. Honestly. 74 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: I want to keep progressing in my career, keep going 75 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: out there, showing the coaches they can rely on me 76 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: at different positions, and hopefully keep making plays. And Cam 77 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: Newton spoke lowingly about you after the game on Monday night. 78 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: What does that mean to you? That's sixteen year old 79 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: that one to seven on seven camp with Cam Newton 80 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: is now playing with him in the NFL and he's 81 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: saying these things about you. It's I mean, it's crazy. 82 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: You know, It's stuff that you dream about as a 83 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: little kid watching people on TV play the game, hearing 84 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: their names here and seeing Cam one Hodsman These are 85 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: things that you wish for you one day. So the 86 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: fact that now that I'm here catching passes from Cam 87 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: and being able to play the game that I love 88 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: every day is it's a great opportunity and a dream 89 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: come true.
