0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:05.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into the Ravens Press Pass podcast. Today we had

0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>a chance to meet Ravens' first round pick Nate Wiggins

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:12.800
<v Speaker 1>out of Clemson. He arrived in Baltimore after getting selected

0:00:12.800 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>at pick number thirty on Thursday night. He's fired up

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:17.239
<v Speaker 1>to be here in Baltimore and he had a chance

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>to meet with the media alongside defensive coordinator Zach Prior

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>and secondary coach Chris.

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:29.040
<v Speaker 2>HEWITTT appreciate you guys coming, man, I mean, obviously you

0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 2>can see the smile on our face. This is a

0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:33.559
<v Speaker 2>great day to be a Raven. Obviously, last night we

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 2>drafted Nate Wiggins, who we obviously believe is the best

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 2>corner in the draft, not only one of the best

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.920
<v Speaker 2>corner but one of the best defensive players overall. Man,

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.720
<v Speaker 2>so early in this process, you could ask Nate when

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 2>he came on his thirty visit, I was like, man,

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if you're gonna be here at thirty,

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 2>but if you are, I'm gonna make sure that I

0:00:50.120 --> 0:00:52.680
<v Speaker 2>fight on the table for you. And obviously was able

0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 2>to get him. Eric and the personnel staff they did

0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:57.840
<v Speaker 2>a great job and we was able to get him.

0:00:57.840 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 2>But just speaking about Nate, I mean he's tall, he's fast,

0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:05.959
<v Speaker 2>he's athletic, plays hard, plays physical, plays like a raven.

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.280
<v Speaker 2>But what stood out to me the most is man

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:10.399
<v Speaker 2>in the big time games, at the big time moments.

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 2>You're talking about third down, fourth down, two minutes in

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 2>the game, in the half, whenever the ball came his way,

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:19.400
<v Speaker 2>he made the play man. So we're excited to bring

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:22.600
<v Speaker 2>him in part of our organization, part of our defense.

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.000
<v Speaker 2>Expect great things out of him. I know he's hungry,

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 2>he plays with a little edge, which we like. And

0:01:28.959 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 2>like I said, I can't thank everybody enough for coming

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.080
<v Speaker 2>and it's congratulations of Nate.

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:34.959
<v Speaker 3>Man were happy to hear.

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 4>First of all.

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.600
<v Speaker 5>Eric Ozzy Hard, Missus Bashatti and the rest of the

0:01:42.600 --> 0:01:44.760
<v Speaker 5>the scouting department because there's a lot of a lot

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 5>of things that going along with the draft process and

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:52.520
<v Speaker 5>identifying guys, and then they had identified Nick in the process,

0:01:52.600 --> 0:01:54.600
<v Speaker 5>and you know, all I had to do was just

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 5>just go ahead and just turn on the tape. And

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 5>it was just like as soon as you turn on

0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 5>the tape, you're ready to do. As soon as you

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 5>turn on tape, you're just like dog, look at this guy.

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.279
<v Speaker 5>Go I mean, the guy's a blur on the field,

0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.480
<v Speaker 5>and just about all the things that that Zach talked

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 5>about is whenever it was time for a guy to

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 5>make a play, this guy was making plays all over

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.800
<v Speaker 5>the field. And there's two plays that that that stand

0:02:16.840 --> 0:02:19.320
<v Speaker 5>out to me the most. Those two plays when you're

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:22.799
<v Speaker 5>running that kid down that they're running back from North Carolina,

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 5>and the other one was Miami Okay runs all the

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 5>way down, tracks a guy down at the at the

0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 5>end zone and knocks the ball out on the field.

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.840
<v Speaker 5>Those are like game changing plays and those are the

0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:36.240
<v Speaker 5>kind of play players that we we look for. So

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 5>a guy like Nate, he's gonna fit bread in our organization.

0:02:40.080 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 5>He's gonna be a guy that's gonna being able to

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 5>make some great plays for us and and fit in

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.680
<v Speaker 5>within our defense and and take us to that next

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 5>level that we're looking for.

<v Speaker 1>You'd all play out last night and to realize it's

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.520
<v Speaker 1>getting closer and closer to depend what's going through your

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>mind that you couldn't actually.

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 3>It was, it was. It was kind of mixed motions.

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:43.960
<v Speaker 2>First thing, I was like, man, I hope nobody else

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 2>pick him before before it gets to us. But it

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:49.240
<v Speaker 2>was great. Just started getting excited because we knew he

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.680
<v Speaker 2>was our guy, and like like Chris talked about, man,

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 2>just seeing that process of the whole scouting department led

0:04:55.040 --> 0:04:58.200
<v Speaker 2>by Eric and Ozzy, just seeing those guys work and

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 2>and seeing the whole process play out where Nate was

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 2>falling to us and when we knew we we we

0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:05.719
<v Speaker 2>knew we had a chance to get him. You see

0:05:05.720 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 2>how fast the pit got turned in it wa It

0:05:07.800 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 2>was it was joy in the in the in the

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 2>draft room, and we were so excited. Man, we felt

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 2>like we got best defensive player in.

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:19.960
<v Speaker 3>The draft together, I think it's coming along well.

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:22.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean, we just added, like we said we would,

0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:24.440
<v Speaker 2>think it's uh, one of the top defensive players in

0:05:24.480 --> 0:05:27.360
<v Speaker 2>the draft to our defense man. Obviously, we signed Beaks

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.880
<v Speaker 2>back uh early offseason and made some other free agent

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.200
<v Speaker 2>signings as well. But Uh, I think it's coming along.

0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 3>Well.

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 2>He's gonna be a a great addition to our s

0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 2>uh A talented secondary and uh he's just gonna make

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:37.600
<v Speaker 2>us better.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 5>That Eric said he lost some sleep or were going

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 5>with a line or quarterback.

0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 2>Of positions in need, I guess what were those conversations like,

0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 2>when or a side getting someone in.

0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 9>Here after all the guys you laws.

0:05:51.320 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 3>Man.

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean, shoot, I was I only watched the defensive players,

0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:57.040
<v Speaker 2>so I only know about the cornerbacks. So I mean,

0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 2>if we got if we took our offensive lineman and

0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:00.680
<v Speaker 2>it was gonna help our team, that would be great.

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 2>But I knew that Nate Wiggins was a guy that

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.919
<v Speaker 2>was gonna be a great addition for us, so I

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 2>was just like, Hey, if Nate's there, let's get him.

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 2>And and it shaked out in our favor, So we're

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:13.800
<v Speaker 2>happy that it played out the way it did.

0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>Waits, you know, to make it for us to time

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:22.080
<v Speaker 1>run out and all that time to yester that he

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 1>turned in right away.

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:24.839
<v Speaker 8>Can you kind of taste in the room yesterday and

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:26.800
<v Speaker 8>they turned that geta.

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.080
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I mean, I mean he we kind of knew.

0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:32.840
<v Speaker 2>He knew that if Nate was there, that was a

0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:34.599
<v Speaker 2>guy who's gonna take. Like I think he talked about

0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:36.440
<v Speaker 2>it last night. It was a lot of phone calls,

0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 2>a lot of a lot of stuff going on, and

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 2>he was just saying that if our guys there, we're

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.679
<v Speaker 2>taking him. And Nate was our guy. So soon as

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:44.600
<v Speaker 2>soon as it was our time to go up and

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Nate was still on their board, it was time to

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>make that phone call. And and and you see it

0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 2>was no hesitation. So that's how bad we know we

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 2>wanted him. And I think that showed.

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.719
<v Speaker 6>I think maybe you played most of his snaps last

0:06:56.800 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 6>year man coverage, you know, in his word, the NFL

0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.200
<v Speaker 6>work to see a lot of stuff, a lot of

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 6>high and action stuff.

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:04.800
<v Speaker 3>What is the value of the guy if you do

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 3>your shutdown man corner, when you guys need a call.

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:10.200
<v Speaker 5>On someone like that, say that one more time.

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 7>What is the value of having a guy who can

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 7>get shut down in a corner when you got.

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.280
<v Speaker 5>Call on someone like that, Well, I mean, first of all,

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 5>it's the guy that's as talented as this guy is,

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 5>it doesn't matter for playing zone man or whatever it is.

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 5>He's he's extremely talented. And the other part about it

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.680
<v Speaker 5>is he's got a high football IQ as well. You know,

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 5>going through the whole process. You know, when we were

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 5>at the we're at the combine. I think I stopped

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:36.440
<v Speaker 5>the meeting like at three minutes, and it was like

0:07:36.640 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 5>it didn't even matter. It was like it was over.

0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 5>It was like the guy was so smart, he was uh,

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 5>he had all athletic ability, all all those things were given.

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 5>It was all about what's in between the years. That's

0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.520
<v Speaker 5>all the things that I really need to know. So

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 5>as far as him having any issues or anything, I'm

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:52.920
<v Speaker 5>not worried about that. We're gonna get this guy on

0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:55.200
<v Speaker 5>the field and you're gonna see a great player from

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 5>beers to come.

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.880
<v Speaker 4>How How old were you and and who was it

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.920
<v Speaker 4>who first put you cornerback? And did you sort of

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.880
<v Speaker 4>know right away this is this is where I'm along.

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 3>Uh, I think it was my ninth grade year in

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 3>the front right of my mom my, Dad. I didn't

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 3>really want to play cornerback. I want to play receiver.

0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:17.080
<v Speaker 3>But it was like, I mean, it's a lot of

0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.400
<v Speaker 3>receivers that's fast. I mean, it's not that many cornerbacks

0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 3>tall that could do what I can do. So I

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.600
<v Speaker 3>just started training in it and pay it off.

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.680
<v Speaker 8>Then we saw Trenton Simpson welcoming to the facility.

0:08:28.720 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 10>What did he tell you about the organization.

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 9>That you're joining?

0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:33.600
<v Speaker 3>He was really just like it's a passion or just

0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 3>like Clemson. Uh, it's like is a give out for

0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.680
<v Speaker 3>Clemson vibe, and I mean it's nice home. So I'm

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:41.319
<v Speaker 3>happy to be here.

0:08:42.160 --> 0:08:44.840
<v Speaker 8>Dad, You're sit there and wait until may be called.

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.800
<v Speaker 4>The teams are gonna be pass Did you hap in

0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:48.439
<v Speaker 4>the back of your mind there's no way you were

0:08:48.440 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 4>getting past thirty because you were confident if you were

0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:51.920
<v Speaker 4>still in the Ravens take care.

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:57.040
<v Speaker 3>Uh nah. Actually when I was when they called me,

0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:01.960
<v Speaker 3>I was in the bathroom. I was mad. I was mad.

0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 3>I was in I see my for ring and everything.

0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:11.120
<v Speaker 3>Just wait, you know, it was crazy. Chris.

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 10>Uh initial thoughts to twelve hours. But what do you

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 10>see as as Nate's role in this defense? With the

0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.600
<v Speaker 10>depth of corner that you already have and the town

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:21.600
<v Speaker 10>already hit on the.

0:09:21.600 --> 0:09:26.840
<v Speaker 5>Roster me first of all, like with with the guys

0:09:26.880 --> 0:09:28.880

<v Speaker 5>that that that position is or how we get them

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:42.440
<v Speaker 5>on the field, That's what it's all about. Just trying

0:09:42.440 --> 0:09:43.800
<v Speaker 5>to get the best players on the field and getting

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 5>the best the best five or six guys on on

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:50.079
<v Speaker 5>the back end to play and play as one. You

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:53.040
<v Speaker 5>worried about it, I'm not worried about it.

0:09:54.600 --> 0:09:58.120
<v Speaker 6>Put on about maybe ten pounds and combine between the

0:09:58.120 --> 0:10:01.360
<v Speaker 6>combine and your pro day? How did you go about

0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 6>doing that? And do you have like an idea? Weed

0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 6>you kind of like that too.

0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.439
<v Speaker 3>I mean I would never like one seventy I just

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.679
<v Speaker 3>ain't eat it come by. Yeah. So it was just

0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 3>log just longful waight.

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.240
<v Speaker 3>I just had the game weight back and eating right.

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:19.560
<v Speaker 8>So hey that I think one matchup that people are

0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 8>looking forward to is Unz Flowers to you guys that

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.360
<v Speaker 8>are very fast and fast feed. What do you remember

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:26.760
<v Speaker 8>about your matchup with him in college, and it's not

0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 8>a matchup you're looking forward to his shot back, iron

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:31.079
<v Speaker 8>sharpening iron.

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.199
<v Speaker 3>Uh, I remember, I mean who was going at it?

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Uh?

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 3>In college?

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:36.000
<v Speaker 9>Uh?

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.000
<v Speaker 3>It was back and forth. Uh he kept he caught

0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.920
<v Speaker 3>some passes and not to deflect some passes on him?

0:10:39.960 --> 0:10:42.200
<v Speaker 3>So who was going back and forth? But I know, Uh,

0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:44.839
<v Speaker 3>we're gonna get each other better now, So I mean

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 3>it's gonna be It's gonna be good.

0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:49.160
<v Speaker 4>He's the best receiver your face in college.

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:51.160
<v Speaker 3>Probably Jordan Addison.

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 7>There's someone that you looked up to or patter in

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:56.959
<v Speaker 7>your game after.

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>When you were growing up.

0:10:59.679 --> 0:11:01.959
<v Speaker 3>I want say pattern, but like a J.

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:02.400
<v Speaker 8>Jrell.

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.600
<v Speaker 3>He put a lot of like chips in my ear.

0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:10.240
<v Speaker 3>He talked to me a lot. So can you tell

0:11:10.320 --> 0:11:11.040
<v Speaker 3>us what he needs to have?

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.960
<v Speaker 8>Your family here and the impact that they've had on

0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 8>your life and career.

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.360
<v Speaker 3>Man, it means a lot just knowing where we're coming from.

0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:19.200
<v Speaker 3>I mean a lot of folks don't make him have

0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:22.640
<v Speaker 3>come from. So I mean it means a lot.

0:11:23.400 --> 0:11:26.560
<v Speaker 8>Until you see so many extended plays, Nate's ability to

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.880
<v Speaker 8>really mirror the receiver this quick feet, how much did

0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.679
<v Speaker 8>that play into how much he really liked him.

0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 5>That didn't have anything to do with it, because you know,

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:40.360
<v Speaker 5>it's it's all about the fit, and he has all

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.640
<v Speaker 5>the abilities and all those things, but it's it's more

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.839
<v Speaker 5>about the fit and how he how he plays the game,

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.559
<v Speaker 5>how he approaches the game. It matches what we do

0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 5>in Baltimore and how how how our organization, how our defense.

0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:55.680
<v Speaker 5>His mentality is the same. So the extended plays and

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 5>all those things, that's just another extension about how we think.

0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 5>It doesn't matter how long, how long is gonna the

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.080
<v Speaker 5>game is gonna be, where the game is gonna be,

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.480
<v Speaker 5>We's gonna fight to the end and at the end

0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:09.840
<v Speaker 5>of the play, you know, it is what it is.

0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 5>We're gonna compete at every time. So that's what it's

0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.320
<v Speaker 5>all about. It's about what's in between the years and

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 5>how this kid plays and you see that on tape

0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.360
<v Speaker 5>and how he talks and then I mean, it's just

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 5>what he is.

0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Hey.

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 9>During the Combine PRODS facility visits, you meet a lot

0:12:24.679 --> 0:12:30.240
<v Speaker 9>of people love Scouts. What about the Ravens leadership stood

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:31.920
<v Speaker 9>out when you've got a chance to meet with them,

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 9>both of the Combine as well as you're at your facility.

0:12:34.600 --> 0:12:36.560
<v Speaker 3>It was really just different for real. I mean they

0:12:36.640 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 3>let me be myself. I ain't really have no critiques

0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.640
<v Speaker 3>about it for real, So I mean I just like

0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.600
<v Speaker 3>to be myself for I don't really like folks like

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 3>you feel me. So I feel like I fit perfect here.

0:12:48.320 --> 0:12:52.439
<v Speaker 3>I feel like God had a plan, And yeah he did.

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.360
<v Speaker 4>You see the Marld Humphrey predicted that they would pick

0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 4>you like a couple of hours before they did, and

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.679
<v Speaker 4>said that he thought you would be the best fits.

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 4>So I guess if you've heard from Maryland or any

0:13:02.120 --> 0:13:03.880
<v Speaker 4>other guys in the secondary.

0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:05.680
<v Speaker 3>Actually I haven't. I ain't seen it. I ain't seen

0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:06.160
<v Speaker 3>it yet.

0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:10.239
<v Speaker 6>Maybe a lot about to upgrading where you come from.

0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.440
<v Speaker 8>Uh, was there an easy or hard adjustment to uh when.

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.079
<v Speaker 3>You got to Clinston's. Uh, it was a hard adjustment.

0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:19.559
<v Speaker 3>There was a hard adjustment, just uh uh just trying

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.760
<v Speaker 3>to adjust to you know, the different communities.

0:13:23.640 --> 0:13:27.240
<v Speaker 10>Did you tell us about the dependent on your change

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:27.920
<v Speaker 10>in back and stuff?

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh it's just uh a Jesus face. I mean, y'all

0:13:33.480 --> 0:13:34.840
<v Speaker 3>put your face in faith from God.

0:13:34.960 --> 0:13:38.760
<v Speaker 6>So yeah, they And I think I've read somewhere about

0:13:38.800 --> 0:13:41.840
<v Speaker 6>you writing a story or book or something about that

0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:44.320
<v Speaker 6>wanting to be a quarterback in the NFL in like

0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:48.720
<v Speaker 6>fifth grade? What sort of uh motivated you to do that?

0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:51.199
<v Speaker 6>And you do the confidence to think that you could

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:51.680
<v Speaker 6>get to that.

0:13:52.400 --> 0:13:54.760
<v Speaker 3>Uh I used to play quarterback, uh back in the day,

0:13:54.800 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 3>you know, Yeah, so uh I thought I was gonna

0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:03.479
<v Speaker 3>be Cam Newton turns out cornerback, so I have other plans.

0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:05.720
<v Speaker 3>Do one more, Kyle.

0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:10.719
<v Speaker 10>One of the few critiques of this game has been

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:14.760
<v Speaker 10>from Hunts just the little undersize. What about this game

0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 10>and tape and everything makes that any consequential?

0:14:17.920 --> 0:14:20.600
<v Speaker 2>From you guys, I mean he comes up and tackles,

0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:23.280
<v Speaker 2>he comes up, he hits, he plays physical, and I

0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 2>mean he's only twenty years old. Like alsicnesiology major. I

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:28.280
<v Speaker 2>mean they say, you men full of men don't stop

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:29.880
<v Speaker 2>growing to like twenty seven years old.

0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 3>So he got a lot of time to grow.

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 2>We got a great strength staff, nutritionness and everything like that.

0:14:34.520 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 2>But on tape you I didn't see anything about him

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:40.800
<v Speaker 2>being undersized as anything that we critique. I mean, he

0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 2>flew up, set the edge in the run game, played

0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:46.560
<v Speaker 2>physical with receivers at the line of scrimmage, came up, tackled,

0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 2>getting the ball off people, so he played like a

0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:51.120
<v Speaker 2>Raven so we have no concerns about that at all.

0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.000
