1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: For that injury.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 2: I mean no, but I mean it felt it felt

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 2: like a long time, but just putting a lot of

4
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:08,119
Speaker 2: work and just making sure that I got back out there.

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:08,479
Speaker 1: With the guys.

6
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: How ready are you?

7
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm ready right now. It's just going to

8
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: be a little gradual build up.

9
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 2: Just kind of got back out there, get my feedback

10
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 2: under me today and just kind of go with the

11
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: trainers and with the coaching staff and just see where

12
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:22,280
Speaker 2: we're at from there.

13
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: Goal to be ready opening day, yeah.

14
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 2: I mean at the end of the day, I just

15
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 2: want to help this football team win. And whether that's

16
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: week one and I feel comfortable out there week two

17
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: or week three, whenever that may be.

18
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,919
Speaker 1: Hopefully I'm hoping for week one, but I just want

19
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: to help the team win. Was it important for.

20
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 3: You mentally and physically? But just the idea that they

21
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: didn't put you out for a month so at least

22
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 3: the messages that they believe you'll be back before October,

23
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 3: did they matter?

24
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: Yeah? Definitely.

25
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 2: I mean I wanted to go out there and show,

26
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: even whenever I was just doing my reha process, that

27
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: I'd be ready within those first four games so they

28
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: wouldn't have to sit me within those and then obviously

29
00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 2: I would have to have a little rap up period

30
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: if I was on the pup and then maybe not

31
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: being able to play for five or six games. So

32
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 2: I just wanted to get back out there, just get

33
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: that chemistry back with Daniel and to see where we

34
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: can move from there.

35
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: What what I mean? Was there a secret to getting

36
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you've kind of short circled this rehab a

37
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: month or two.

38
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I would say that that's a big testament

39
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: to this training staff and all the help.

40
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: That they've helped that they've had with me.

41
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: A lot of BFR, a lot of long nights, and

42
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: just making sure that you know, you gotta do what

43
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: you gotta do, and you got to sacrifice some things.

44
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: So I knew I wanted to be ready for the

45
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: start of the season, and I knew that I would

46
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: have to sacrifice some things and to hopefully getting back

47
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: a little bit earlier than expected.

48
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: Sacrifice what I mean?

49
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I say for the most part during

50
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: this offseason, I was up here for really just about

51
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: the whole.

52
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Season and just trying to rehab and do what I

53
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: could to get better. Was that this time?

54
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: Why was that always the goal in this first four weeks,

55
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: or did it become evident at some point in the.

56
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Process that hey, this has moving on the faster than Yeah.

57
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: I mean from the from the moment that I told

58
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: my a C I was that was what I was wanting.

59
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 2: I was like, and I'll be back week one And

60
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: talked to doctor Della trash out in LA and he

61
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: was he was like, he could be a shot. You

62
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: just got to put the work in.

63
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: And I told him that that's exactly what I was

64
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: gonna do.

65
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 2: And luckily about a month ago because everything started looking

66
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: really really good and just was able to get back

67
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 2: out the to day.

68
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: What was that kind of all you need to do

69
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: a year at the start? Yeah, definitely it was possible.

70
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, once they told me it was possible, I was

71
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 2: just gonna do whatever I could get back out there.

72
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: So, well, what did you last year? You know, you

73
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: had a little injury, you had pitched last game. Do

74
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: you think like that was I mean, I'm sure you

75
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: don't want to about the interview. Do you think you

76
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: were just starting for show?

77
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: Oh?

78
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely.

79
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: Me and my receiver coach and had to talk about

80
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 2: it too. Just felt like I started to get a

81
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: lot more confidence even whenever coming back from my injury

82
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: the first week and then just I just felt really

83
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: really good, especially going into that game, and luckily I

84
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 2: ended off on that note. And I know exactly what

85
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: I can do in this league. But obviously some new

86
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 2: year and I just got to get back to work.

87
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: What were you able to do today? Were you like

88
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: running routes, falling.

89
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: Stuff, run the routes, just working with DJ and just

90
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: doing those kind of things.

91
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: Just really, like I said, getting my feedback under me.

92
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: So they weren't gonna throw me out there and the

93
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: fire too much, but uh, just definitely getting my feedback

94
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 2: under me, even.

95
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: Though you were still on on popped. Were you able

96
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 3: to throw a Daniel at.

97
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: All in the off season?

98
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: Well, so the rules at least during camp, well, no,

99
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: I'm not allowed to. I wasn't allowed to participate in

100
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 2: anything with the team. So the only time that I

101
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 2: was able to do any kind of throwing was whenever

102
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 2: we did a real Charlotte trip. Just kind of was

103
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: spot catching at that point, I wasn't really running too

104
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,799
Speaker 2: many routes, so really, yeah, I say today was kind

105
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 2: of the first time we really got to hit it

106
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 2: back off.

107
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: So, yeah, how difficult.

108
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 3: So they added Jail and the out of parish parents.

109
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 3: A wide receiver, but kind of a wide receiver to

110
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 3: see guys coming in and knowing you can't even compete

111
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 3: with them.

112
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I knew, I knew everything.

113
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 2: There was a plan, and even when everybody's getting added in,

114
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: luckily I'm still able to talk to some of the guys,

115
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: and I just knew that at the end of the day,

116
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 2: I knew I had a role and just gonna play

117
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: my part, and everybody, I feel like it's going to

118
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 2: do what they have to do, and we just want

119
00:03:59,000 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: to win, so
