So it should 27 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 1: be a good time. Here's here's the crucial question, LEVI, 28 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,399 Speaker 1: I for two old guys like murphing me. What is 29 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: the object of Fortnite? What's the game? Like? What's it about? Uh? So, 30 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: it's like basically a hundred people dropped on an island 31 00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,759 Speaker 1: and you have to be the last one standing. So 32 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: you team up with some guys and you have to 33 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,160 Speaker 1: be the last last man on the island. So I mean, 34 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 1: and you know what, I'm not that great, but I'm 35 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: not that bad either. And there's a lot of kids 36 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 1: a lot younger than either are exceptionally good. So it 37 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: makes it fun and competitive. People will be able to 38 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: watch and participate by making donations right to the American 39 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 1: Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society, Lee by what why 40 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: are you connected with them? In this endeavor. My freshman year, 41 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: I lost my aunt to breast cancer. Um, the closest 42 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:15,440 Speaker 1: aunt that I have, UM, my granddad. He passed away 43 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: from uh prostate cancer when I was really young. I 44 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: also lost another aunt to cancer as well. So um, 45 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: I've lost certain a lot of family members to cancer 46 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 1: as as I think we all have been affected by it. 47 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: So um it was near and did in my heart 48 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 1: for a long time, along with als. So UM, I 49 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: just wanted to reach out to them and see if 50 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,960 Speaker 1: as anyway that I could help. And then they came 51 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 1: up with this idea and I played Fortnite anyway, So 52 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 1: it was it was a great combination, right, how many 53 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: of your Alabama teammates will be with you tonight? And 54 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 1: and who were they? Uh? Two? So I got Jamie 55 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: Mosley who's now with the Cardinals, and Christian Miller who's 56 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,359 Speaker 1: with the Panthers. Um, so yeah, those two us. Did 57 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 1: you play this in college? Or how long have you 58 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: been playing in Fortnite? He said, You're good, but not 59 00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: You're not great, but not that bad. How long have 60 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: you been playing this game? I played it towards the 61 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: end of college, I think light around the time when 62 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: it came out. My brother was trying to give me 63 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,079 Speaker 1: the player for the longest and I played it one 64 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: time and then the next thing you know, he's coming 65 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: home from classes and I'm in his room playing the game. 66 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: So I've been playing for a few years. Now. We're 67 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: with you, PHILPS Quarterback Kids Gamers Versus Cancer event is 68 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: about twenty minutes away now, he lieb. I want to 69 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 1: answer you about something you did earlier this spring. You 70 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: you basically on Instagram put your cell phone number out 71 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: there and invited fans and anybody really to call in 72 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: just to chat. What were you thinking about with that, 73 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: and how did that go over? How any calls did 74 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: you get? Um? I did it just simply just to 75 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: connect with people, you know, just to remind people that 76 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: they're not alone. I'm in my house by myself, and 77 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: it's easy just to go to a place that you 78 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: don't want to go to. So once we out to 79 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: Bill's Mafia, we have the best fans. They support us, 80 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: so I not support them, um, and then talk to 81 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: people everywhere else. I think the furthest I talked to 82 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 1: someone was Hawaii, which was great. Um. And you know 83 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: Bill's fans are everywhere, so that was dope and unique. 84 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: As far as the number of calls, I got maybe 85 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: a thousand calls and messages easily. Um, So it was good. 86 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,960 Speaker 1: I heard a lot of stories, prayed for a lot 87 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: of people, um, and really just connected with them anyways 88 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: they wanted to and told them that I was supporting them, 89 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: just just like they support me. So any calls stand 90 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: out or how you mentioned the one from Hawaii, Any 91 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: calls because of their content stand out to you that 92 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: have affected you that that maybe you had more than 93 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: one conversation with.

We're on the Line live 104 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: with Bill's Corner Levin Wallace, Leeville, just before we let 105 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: you go, just a question about how things have changed. 106 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: Two years ago, you were an undrafted rookie free agent 107 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: out of Alabama coming up to try to make the 108 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 1: Buffalo roster. Can you imagine trying to do that as 109 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: an undrafted rookie this year, without contact, without a offseason 110 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 1: rookie program in the building. I mean you you you 111 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: took advantage of the opportunities presented you a couple of 112 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:50,839 Speaker 1: years ago as a rookie to make a good impression, 113 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: didn't you. Yeah, I mean it's a little different this offseason, 114 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: and I've reached out to all the rookies and welcome 115 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: to the team much as I can. And I think 116 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 1: they have the rookie um training camp coming coming soon. 117 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 1: I think it starts Monday, Yeah, yeah, and then they'll 118 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: be able to dive in with us and meet the 119 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 1: regular the other guys that have been on the team 120 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: for a little bit. Sou a little different, but I 121 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: don't think it should be holding back. And think with 122 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: a group of guys that we have, which is an 123 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,159 Speaker 1: outstanding group of men, um, we'll welcome in them. You know, 124 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: does it seem strange to you to be one of 125 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: the veteran guys now one of the guys who have 126 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: been a path that you know, and all these drafted 127 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: guys have come in. Although I know it's a virtual 128 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: world that you're living in now and the communication isn't 129 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: wasn't what it was when you came in. But is 130 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: it strange for you to be now a guy who 131 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 1: can set an example and maybe mentor young rookie undrafted 132 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 1: free agent as to how to navigate these waters even 133 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: though this is a strange offseason. Yeah, I mean time flies, 134 00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 1: you know, and I remember my rookie years like it 135 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: was just yesterday. That's what it feels like. Um, So 136 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do everything that I can to help with 137 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: the process and those guys. Even though it is a 138 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: little bit different, it does so a little weird that 139 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: I am now a quote unquote that even though that's 140 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 1: just my third year. So yeah, and even in your 141 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: third you leave getting set to you know, when you 142 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: finally do get back to work. Every year, you've had 143 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 1: to work hard to win your spot on the team, 144 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: to win a starting spot last year, right, and it 145 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 1: won't be any different this year. They've gone out and 146 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: grabbed Josh Norman, a veteran guy. They've drafted a cornerback. 147 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: I mean the competition is always there, at least in 148 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: your first three years in the league. Huh yeah. I 149 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: mean that's that's football. I mean there's not competition, then 150 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 1: then there's no sports. So I'm excited. Josh has been 151 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: a great asset already and having a group. UM look 152 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: forward to learning a lot from him and his experience 153 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 1: as well, So it'll be good. What's the next step 154 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: this offseason for the team? UM, not too sure. You know, 155 00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,600 Speaker 1: we're doing the virtual offseason meetings right now, which have 156 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,880 Speaker 1: been good. Like you said, the rookies are coming in 157 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: and then we'll pick back up with that. So I'm 158 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: not sure what the schedule holds, but I know we're 159 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: getting ahead of it as best as we can for 160 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: the bills.
