1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: We were presented by win Bett. Betty is a team sport,

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: but together at win Bett. Eric Ellen here inside the

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: studio at one Jets Drive, joined by new Jets safety

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:21,959
Speaker 1: Chuck Clark. How does that feel, Chuck? Uh? It feels good.

5
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 1: It also feels different at the same time. It's new,

6
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: so I mean just just a lot of new new

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: emotions and you know, just a different experience. So definitely,

8
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,320
Speaker 1: it definite feels different though, but it feels great at

9
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: the same time. So how did this all go down?

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 1: The Jets make the trade with the Baltimore Ravens uh

11
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: in order to get you, of course, for a late

12
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: round pick in twenty twenty four. But when did you

13
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: become aware of the deal? Honestly, I thought it was

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: gonna happen last year before training camp. I thought I

15
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: wanted out of there last year. And when I tried,

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: it was much deny and I thought I was coming

17
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: to the Jets, like when the process is happening, it

18
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: was Jets for the Philly. But fast forward a year later,

19
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: pretty much end of this season, like, hey y'all, y'all

20
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: either got to release me or trade me, you know,

21
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: And I think that that that relationship and Baltimore ran

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: soidware at the time, so I was like, you gotta

23
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: least me and trade me, and they pretty much agreed

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 1: to it. And when I found out about it, then

25
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: I knew that it was about to happen. I was

26
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: heading into a workout and I was like, oh man,

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm headed to the jets, Like it was crazy, So

28
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: my phone started going crazy a little bit. I'm in

29
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: the workout, but I think doing that workout was good.

30
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: Actually that initial little time just to use my mind

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: away from it. But yeah, I pretty much knew it

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: was gonna happen. Relief for jubilation or a bunch of emotions.

33
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: How would you describe that? I think a bunch of

34
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: emotions honestly, because like I said, I wondered out of

35
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: the last situation. But then also with that, in this business,

36
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: you never know what comes with it. You know, this

37
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: a league full of uncertainty. So you're like, oh, okay,

38
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: if I get released, I won't have a job. I

39
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: get traded. It's a new new scenery, new scenario. You

40
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: never know. So it was definitely a bunch of emotions

41
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: with it. What was the mindset last year? Like you said,

42
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: you talked to the front office and said, hey, I

43
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: think it would be best if we parted ways and

44
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: I got a new start and whatever. After obviously, they

45
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: drafted Kyle Hamilton and they signed Marcus Williams a free agency.

46
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: But with all that being said, you put your head

47
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: down and you never came off the field again. Yeah,

48
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: I knew like who I was as a person, who

49
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 1: I was as a player. I mean, at first I

50
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: was I was. I was upset about everything that went on,

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: and I pretty much made that known and try to

52
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: make it known. And when I realized I wasn't gonna

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: get what I was asking for, I was like, you

54
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: know what, I just got to make the most of

55
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: the situation. And at the end of the day, I

56
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: still got to put good film on tabe. You know,

57
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: go out there ball. I'll do what I gotta do,

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, eventually what I want will come.

59
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: So um what that like you said, how was that?

60
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: It was tough a little bit? But then once I

61
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: got playing and got in the group of the season,

62
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, you're playing ball, Like, you're not

63
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,919
Speaker 1: about to complain now, are you in it? Who did

64
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: you talk to from the Jets? Initially when the trade

65
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: was final. Uh so when it first happened, head coach

66
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: called me, DC called me. They was all on a call.

67
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: Um player wise, DJ re had reached out to me

68
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: and we texted back a little bit. Um who else

69
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: talked to Joe? So so yeah, yeah, you know I

70
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: got good feedback. I was all right, cool, they reached

71
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: out to me, They welcome to me. You know, it's like, cool, dude,

72
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 1: this is what's up? What did DJ say to you?

73
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: Because of course he came over from Seattle himself last

74
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: year's signing a free agency. He was just like excited

75
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: to have me on board, you know, ready to rock

76
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: out this season. I pretty much said back to him, like, hey,

77
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: you know the same. I'm ready to ball out with y'all.

78
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 1: You know, we're about to turn a new new page

79
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: over here and all, let's let's hit our individual goals

80
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: and let's go get our team goals. And I was like,

81
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: I feel like, hey, playoffs need to be a minimum

82
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: for us, Like that's the mindset that we need to

83
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: have before. What about Robert Salah and Jeff Rawbrook when

84
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 1: they got on the phone, Because Sala to a man,

85
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: everybody talks about his connectivity with the players definitely, So

86
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean with that, like we kind of hopped on

87
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: the phone and got to chop it up a little bit.

88
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,480
Speaker 1: And I always heard about him, you know, you know,

89
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: just talking through the league and different guys. You know,

90
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: all right, he's really good with the players, you know,

91
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: connect with him and just hopping on the phone and

92
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: we're talking back and forth. He's like really excited to

93
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: have me over and I think like divided that guy

94
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: was like very welcome and all right, like hey, I'm

95
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 1: be here for you. You know what I'm saying, everything

96
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: that you need and we're gonna go and do we

97
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: gotta do. What do you think about the secondary? How

98
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: much were you able to take in maybe last year

99
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: from AFAR, watching DJ come over and thrive, Sauce Gardner

100
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: be drafted number four overall. He goes on to be

101
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: defensive Rookie of the Year the Jets side Jordan Whitehead

102
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: and free Anancy. Last year from AFAR, what did you

103
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: see from the secondary? I definitely seem like a mixture

104
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: of young and experience and within the group, but a

105
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: lot of playmaking for sure, a lot of playmaking on

106
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: the back end over there. Different intangibles, you know different,

107
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: Tracy got tall guys, sweater guys, you know, athletic quick.

108
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to be in the mix for real.

109
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: I can't I can't wait to be out there with them.

110
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: Can you talk about adding to the culture and what

111
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: you will take from you from your time in Baltimore,

112
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: Because when you think about the Ravens, you think about

113
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: a perennial contender or a a team that's going to be

114
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: battling in the playoffs every year. Yeah, I think that's

115
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: like how I told you. I was talking with DJ

116
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: and I had this conversation with somebody else in the

117
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 1: building when I was there last week, like like, I

118
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: feel like playoffs is a minimum, Like we gotta get

119
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: in there, like win the next game and let's get

120
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: to the playoffs, les, Dude, we gotta do and once

121
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 1: we get into the playoffs, we're gonna set up and

122
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: start moving from there, and dude, we gotta do so

123
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 1: like just having that experience. So I've been in the

124
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: league six years and I missed the playoffs too, So

125
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: I feel like, hey, we gotta get in the playoffs.

126
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,480
Speaker 1: Gotta get yourself a shot to go win the ring.

127
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: Do you like that attack style the Jets are playing

128
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: with on defense. I mean Solos first year in all

129
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 1: Brooks first year, this was a team completely in transition

130
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: and they finished thirty second in the National Football League,

131
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: but across the board last year top five and several categories. Right, definitely, definitely,

132
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: definitely a lot of balls on defense making explosive play. So,

133
00:06:58,560 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: like I said, I can't wait to get in the

134
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 1: mid right there. It's it's a lot. It's a lot

135
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: to be excited about. What's been the key as far

136
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: as your debundability, debundability and durability over the course of

137
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 1: your career because this is one hundred percent injury league. Yeah,

138
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: Chuck Clark's always on the field. I really try not

139
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: to think about it, honestly, because, like you said, like

140
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: anything can happen in this game any day, So honestly,

141
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: I just try not to think about it, you know,

142
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: but give a lot of it to God. You know,

143
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: It's it's a physical game, like anytime you stop in

144
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: that field, practice, field, game, field, anything can happen. But

145
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: just trying to take care of my body, you know,

146
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: getting in the routine, lifting, lifting, eating, right, stretching, taking

147
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: care of my body. But I remember, like my rookie year,

148
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: I was in the weight room and I was stretching

149
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: and to real sous that came up to me and

150
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: he is like, what you're doing in here stretching? He's like,

151
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: and I mean and if you kind of know, like

152
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: his personality didn't really come off like that really, so

153
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more like I ain't starting stretching

154
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: and getting getting massage or nothing like that until a

155
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: year or four, and he's like, you know what, keep that,

156
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: keep that up, you know. So I'm like, you know what,

157
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: that kind of always stuck with me. You know, just

158
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: stay on top of your body, you know, because as

159
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: you go and well to speak on that, like he

160
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: went on to play fifteen sixteen years or something like that,

161
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,240
Speaker 1: but I mean, as as you keep going, you know

162
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: things what happened to your buddy Nixon Bruges, So you

163
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: just gotta stay on top of it. Honestly, how much

164
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: you pride yourself on your versatility, because yeah, you play

165
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: a lot of snaps or free safety. You can play

166
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 1: strong safety. People say line up in line back or

167
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: you come down and play nickel m. Yeah, I just

168
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: think I'm a ball player, like I don't really. When

169
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: I think about it, I don't. I'm a DV but

170
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:49,439
Speaker 1: I'm a ball player. I don't classify myself like as

171
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: anything Like, if I'm asked to do it, I'm gonna

172
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 1: go try to get it done, learn it and figure

173
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: it out, and go get it done and play at

174
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: a high level. Speaking of playing at a high level,

175
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: what do you think about playing in New York for

176
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: a hungry fan base. This team hasn't been in the

177
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: playoff since two thousand tons. The reason why I mentioned

178
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: New York. You put on a Clark Chuck Clark highlight film.

179
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: You're seeing him make a lot of plays against the

180
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,840
Speaker 1: Jets in Week one, then he came back against the

181
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,960
Speaker 1: Giants last year. Seemed like you felt like you were

182
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: playing at home anytime you were up here. Yeah. Yeah,

183
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: it's definitely played something I'm gonna say, semi familiar with.

184
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: You know that I took the train of a few

185
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: times from Baltimore. You know, move around in the city

186
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I'm excited about that opportunity to

187
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: be able to play on that stage in New York,

188
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: just to be there. You know, everybody you know knows

189
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 1: about New York people across the country, across the world,

190
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: no about New York. So just to be able to

191
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: come there and play there, I can't wait for the opportunity.

192
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: How have you progressed throughout your career that you mentioned

193
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: before coming into the league out of Virginia Tech and

194
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: the interaction with Terrell Suggs T Sugs. But you look

195
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: at your trajectory and how you just you came in

196
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: as adopt player who's going to participate on special teams.

197
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: Then you became a regular in the starting lineup. How

198
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: would you describe your ascension in this league. I think

199
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: the way I got going in this league is the

200
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: same pretty much how it happened in college. Just started

201

202
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, you're making plays, making tackles on special teams.

00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: get you a package, Let's get you a role. And

205
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 1: then that that turned into you know, injuries happened. Then

206
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: next thing you know, I'm go from being a core

207
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 1: special team guy in a matter of a week to

208
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: a defensive starter wearing the green dit the next league.

209
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:47,079
Speaker 1: And that's pretty much how I have you know, just

210
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: starting off special teams, special teams, special teams, and then

211
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:52,520

246
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: also in the community. And we're gonna get to that

247
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: in a second. But you were at n Fall Honors

248
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: this year, correct. Yeah, Yeah, that was the first time

249
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,679
Speaker 1: experience for me. It was cool. So the Baltimore Ravens

250
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two Man of the Year. I wanted to

251
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: ask you about this that night. How special was it

252
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: for you individually? And then what did you think when

253
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:04,719
Speaker 1: you saw a pair of Jets get Defensive Rookie of

254
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: the Year and Offensive Rookie of the Year and Sauce

255
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 1: Gardner and Garrett Wilson as you were taking in that night. Now,

256
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: looking back for me personally, that night, like I said,

257
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: it was the first time for me ever being there.

258
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: So it was cool just to see how like the

259
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: I guess the TV show of TV program runs like

260
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 1: they got the TV breaks and hey, we need you

261
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: to see her in the set whatnot. So it was

262
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: cool and it was it was good just to be

263
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:35,439
Speaker 1: recognized for that. But seeing the two guys that won

264
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 1: the Rookie Rickie of the Year awards and then looking

265
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: back on like, okay, now those are gonna be my teammates,

266
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: Like that's what suff for real, Like just like the

267
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: sky's a limit for them at this point. You know,

268
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: they don't get complacent, keep on balling out. But that's

269
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,840
Speaker 1: cool to two rookies from the same team win those awards.

270
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: That's what suck. I'd encourage everybody to watch that video

271
00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: the Ravens put out of you getting that from John

272
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 1: Harbaugh in front of the rest of the team. He

273
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: brought you up in front of the guys. Can you

274
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: talk about what platforms you are a part of as

275
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: far as off the field, and also do you look

276
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 1: at this as an opportunity for you to, hey, take

277
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: your platform and then extend it up here in the

278
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: Northeast now at your new home. Definitely. So, I think

279
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: my thing has always been just community outreach, you know,

280
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: not specifically geared to a certain I guess if you

281
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: want a sickness or a disease or something. It's just

282
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 1: always been community outreach. So just trying to feed and

283
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: pour back into the community in which I live, where

284
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 1: I work and whatnot. So had the opportunity to do

285
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: it in Virginia in Baltimore. So now I get to

286
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: carry that up to this some more of the East

287
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 1: coast to New York, New Jersey area. So I'm looking

288
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: forward to that for sure. What put that in you?

289
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: What installed that in you that, hey, listen, I'm in

290
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: the NFL, now I'm gonna go out and help others.

291
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: I just think a lot of it has to do

292
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 1: like with how I grew up, you know, the things

293
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: that I've seen, and then then personally it's just like

294
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 1: if you're not trying to better your community where you live,

295
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: and it's like, what are we doing? Honestly? Uh, you

296
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: just try to make things around us better? Can you

297
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: talk about it? Yeah? So, like you never know like

298
00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: what your time, your presidence can do to someone who's

299
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,640
Speaker 1: in a less fortunate situation to you. But I've had

300
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: the ability to have m back to school drives, bike drives,

301
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 1: UM doing different showing up at different UM group group

302
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: events with kids juvenile, So just just just trying to

303
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: do whatever I can, not not limiting it to one

304
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: specific thing. Yeah. The Ravens say, if there's an event,

305
00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: Chuck's at it. Yeah yeah, Yeah, they definitely got me

306
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: out for a lot of events you know here and there.

307
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, just trying to do what I could.

308
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: So can you talk about your up upbringing, in your

309
00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: background of the environment and how that helps shape you. Yeah.

310
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: And I grew up always playing sports, you know, year

311
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: round baseball, basketball, football, being competitive, and I think that

312
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: just always like stuck with me. Like playing sports, it

313
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 1: develops a mindset and mentality, you know, being a team,

314
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: team building, buying a community building, you know, so just

315
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: always being involved in sports. Active. My dad was in

316
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: the military, so but fortunately we never had to move

317
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: around a lot. We was stationed in one spot in Virginia.

318
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 1: So yeah, just grew up playing sports, you know, just

319
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: always active in sports. And I think like a lot

320
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: of that, Like I said, a lot of that helped

321
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: with shaping me mindset and mentality. Was what service in

322
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 1: the military was he nabe? Okay? And how did he

323
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 1: take some of those lessons and transfer them to you.

324
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: It's like thinking about it, I can't like necessarily put

325
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: one thing on it, but I think like different things

326
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: as far as like growing up learning how to cut

327
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: the grass and not not stopping, like not giving up

328
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 1: because it's hot outside or something like that, like to

329
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: keep pushing through, or you know, learning how to wash

330
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: a car, like okay, like you know, you gotta be

331
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: specifically with it. You know, you can't just wash the car.

332
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 1: You gotta get the wheels, you gotta get the rims

333
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: to do the little details, you know, the small things

334
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 1: that matter as well. What do you think that meant

335
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 1: to the guys in the locker room last year, knowing that, hey, listen,

336
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: you were going through some personal adversity. I would say

337
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 1: professional adversity, because hey, you didn't necessary really want to

338
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: be there, but you put your head down, like we

339
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: talked about before, and said, I'm gonna do what's best

340
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: for the team and my teammates here as long as

341
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: I am here. I think I know how personally to me,

342
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: if somebody don't want to be there, you know, it's like,

343
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: why why I be here? But then, like I think

344
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 1: once I like prude and showed the I'm like, okay,

345
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,439
Speaker 1: I'm here, y'all, y'all getting all of me. And I

346
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: even expressed that to them. It's like, all right, he

347
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: on board. You know, he'd been around here. One of

348
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: those type of things. But I got like at the

349
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: end of the year, a lot of guys, you know,

350
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 1: they gave me their respect and whatnot. I was like,

351
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: appreciate you sticking it out, staying here, you know, not

352
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,160
Speaker 1: going crazy or turning up and whatnot. So I mean,

353
00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, I can I can

354
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 1: feel good walking away from that situation knowing that I

355
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: did what I had to do. And uh, I mean

356
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 1: there's so many people in that building that reached out

357
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: to me. It's like, appreciate you, respect to you, So

358
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: I could I could walk away fields good with that.

359
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 1: What do you think this offseason is gonna be like

360
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: for you as you and park on your second professional

361
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 1: team here. It's definitely gonna be different from the standpoint

362
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: of learning a new playbook, learning a new city, a

363
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 1: new team, new locker room, just how things flow on

364
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 1: the day to day basis. You know, being somewhere for

365
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: six years, you kind of understand how things flow, you know,

366
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: you figure things out, but then all the stuffing that

367
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 1: changes into a different environment. So I guess just trying

368
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,200
Speaker 1: to figure out the new uncertainties. But I mean there's

369
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: nothing new that anybody hasn't done any league before, so

370
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: I think i'd be all right. You mentioned DJ before.

371
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 1: Are there some other guys in this roster that you've

372
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: talked to or you know, have come to contact with recently? Nah,

373
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 1: I really haven't talked to too many guys yet, But

374
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: I mean I think it's better, you know, in person interactions,

375
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: so you can really get to know a person, meet them,

376
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,200
Speaker 1: see how they talk, you know. I think it's definitely

377
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: a little bit. It's cool for guys to reach out,

378
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, for sure, But like I said,

379
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: I can't wait to meet guys in person. Yeah, And

380
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: how do you think it's gonna be when you do

381
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: walk into that locker room with that young mix of

382
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: this team that has so many somebody talented young individuals.

383
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,400
Speaker 1: You're fitting yourself into that locker room. But also you're

384
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: gonna be looked at for leadership ability as well. I

385
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: don't know. Like I said, it's all gonna be new

386
00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: for me. So I'm gonna be looking around the same way,

387
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: like all right, what we're doing here. But at the

388
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: end of the day, like I understand if we had

389
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,720
Speaker 1: guys come over in the past and bottom and they're

390
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: like they like they call them me o G I'm like, gee,

391
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: what five year six? You know, I'm yere five year six.

392
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: So I mean I understand what comes with it in

393
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: this game. Like if you get past three years in

394
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 1: this game, like you know what I'm saying, you almost

395
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,800
