1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: I was wondering what your initial thoughts are about being

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: drafted by the Patriots. Yeah, shoot, I'm I'm extremely excited. Obviously,

3
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: New England is is you know, they won, you know,

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of Super Bowls and reach the history and

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,080
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick is obviously one of the brightest minds in football.

6
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: So um, you know, just just being able to be

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: a part of what mister Kratt is doing in the

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: organization and what you know, Coach Belichick is doing in

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: the organization. I'm so fired up and ready to ready

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,919
Speaker 1: to get to be a part of the great organization.

11
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: What sort of pre draft contact did you have with

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:47,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots and what did that entail? Yeah, so I

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: went on a top thirty visit um to New England.

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 1: There was actually my last visit um you know, April

15
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 1: eleventh or something like somewhere around then. So, um, you know,

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: went up there for a day. I was able to

17
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: sit down obviously with with Coach Belichick, Coach mc daniels,

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: um and and other people throughout the throughout the organization,

19
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: and um, it was it was a really great visit.

20
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: I enjoyed getting out there and getting to know them,

21
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 1: and you know, allowing them to get to know me

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I'm what I'm all about. So, uh,

23
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: it was a it was a great visit and uh,

24
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: like I said, I couldn't be more fired up to

25
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 1: be a patriot. Jared, What what on that visit? What

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: did you learn about their system and how it might

27
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: suit your skill set? Yeah? No, I loved I loved it.

28
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Um we sat there and went you know through some

29
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,040
Speaker 1: of their some of their offensive uh you know system,

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: you know that morning, and um, just to just to

31
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: dive into a to an NFL playbook that it's so successful. Um,

32
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: I had a lot of fun with it. And obviously

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that I'm gonna have to

34
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: learn moving forward. But um, I'm I'm with with Tom

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: Brady and Brian Horror and Danny Etling. You know, those

36
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: are three guys that, um, you know, have a lot

37
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: of knowledge and I'm gonna be able to sit there

38
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: and and you know, soak up everything from those guys

39
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: and learn a lot and you know, hope play at

40
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: a high level. Jared, A lot has kind of been

41
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: made of the fact that I guess you were you

42
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: were quite frankly a little bit better in twenty seventeen

43
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: than you were in twenty eighteen. What what I guess

44
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 1: happened in twenty eighteen from from your eyes? No, I

45
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: think there's uh, you know, different things that happened throughout

46
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: a season. And um, you know, I think, you know myself,

47
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 1: Coach mas On, Coach Linday, if we're all kind of

48
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: look back and you know, go back and read through

49
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: the season, you know, I think we just opened it

50
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: up a lot more. And uh, you know, when you

51
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: when you lose a guy like Carrie on Johnson and

52
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,679
Speaker 1: you know, Brandon Smith up front, some of those guys

53
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: that have a lot of experience, Um, you know, you

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: just got to find out, you know, your identity. And

55
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 1: I think we found our identity, um, you know during

56
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: our internal our goal game against Produced. So it's, uh,

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's one of those things. But um, you

58
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 1: know what would trade my time at Auburn for anything.

59
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I loved it there, and um, you know it.

60
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: The great thing about Auburn, how to place to play

61
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: for Auburn's that it can really help prepare you, you know,

62
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,359
Speaker 1: for the next level. And you know, sure enough lucky

63
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: enough to sit here and be a Patriot and and

64
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 1: you know, further my career a little bit jered, what

65
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: would you say your biggest strengths as a player are

66
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, can you repeat the question? What would you

67
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: say your biggest strengths as a player are? I'm sorry?

68
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: What are repeat it? What is your What are your

69
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: biggest strengths as a quarterback? Oh? Um, yeah, I mean

70
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: I think, which I think with any quarterback, Uh, it

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: needs like the first trade needs to be you know,

72
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: leadership and confidence because you you mean, you got to

73
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: go into into a locker room we're looking, you know

74
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: at the quarterback is as you know, one of the

75
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 1: leaders of the team and you know, somebody that really

76
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: has to propel a team forward. And uh, you know,

77
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: I think that's always been one of my one of

78
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: my biggest traits. And you know, on the football side

79
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: of things, I've always been you know, able to make

80
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, any throat on the building. You know, I've

81
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: been able to you know, to adapt my situation. Um,

82
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: you know, at Baylor had one offense. At Auburn, I

83
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: had a different offense. So being able to adapt to

84
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: different you know, situations like that, I think I've done

85
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: done a really good job at Jared, what are your

86
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: thoughts about backing up tom Brady, working with Tom Brady

87
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 1: and just sort of competing with tom Brady. No, it's

88
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 1: obviously gonna be great. I mean, tom Brady's is obviously

89
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: a great player and from what I've heard, a great teammate.

90
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: So I'm just looking looking forward to spending some time

91
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: with him. And I mean, you know, you can't play

92
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: for twenty years and not have so much knowledge of

93
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: the game, So just being able to sit there and

94
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: soak up everything you know that he's gone through, and um,

95
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: you know, pick his brain, you know here and there

96
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: about you know about different things. So um, it's it's

97
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: a tremendous opportunity obviously to learn under him and and

98
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: Brian Horrior. I mean, obviously Brian's been around the league

99
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: for a really long time and has a ton of experience.

100
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: So um, to be in the same room with those

101
00:04:58,080 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: guys and to and to learn from them, it's gonna

102
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: be great and I'm I'm really looking forward to it. Jared,

103
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: I saw you go way back with Damien Harris. When

104
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: did you first get to know him and have you

105
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 1: stayed in touch with him since your childhood Oh yeah,

106
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: we uh so we out on somebody last night. We

107
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: played teewee football together back when we were eight years old,

108
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: back when we were in Kentucky. So I've known Damien

109
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: for basically my entire life, it seems like, and we've

110
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: definitely cut you know, kept in touch and obviously played

111
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: him the last couple of years. And it's funny. As

112
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: soon as I get off this call, I'm actually gonna

113
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: give him a shout and tell him how excited I

114
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: am to play with him again. And that's a you know,

115
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: life always comes full circle and to be with you know,

116
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: the very first year of tackle football, playing with Damien

117
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: and now we're both you know, New England Patriots. It's

118
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: gonna be it's gonna be a lot of fun. You

119
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: mentioned losing some guys up front last year. Was that

120
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: just tough to deal with? You know? Confidence wise? Him?

121
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: Were there every time where you felt like you heard

122
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: yourself a little bit too much, like just trying to

123
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: confident say for that, No, I mean I definitely think

124
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 1: there was, and I you know, I told coach McDaniels

125
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 1: and Coach Belichick. You know, there's definitely times last year

126
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: where you know, for whatever reason I just decided to

127
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: get out of the pocket when I shouldn't have, or

128
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, just didn't trust my eyes at a certain

129
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: point of my feet. Um. And that's something I've obviously

130
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 1: been working on our spring, you know, up to the draft,

131
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: and something I'm going to have to continue to work

132
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: out in order to get better at the quarterback position.

133
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: So um, you know, really looking forward to doing that.

134
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 1: And you know there's no one better to learn from from,

135
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, Coach McDaniels and Coach Belichick and and those

136
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: guys in the quarterback room. Jared, how valuable was your

137
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: experience at the Senior Bowl getting an opportunity to play

138
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 1: in a little bit different offense And did you have

139
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: any contact with the Patriots back then? I know you

140
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: said late in the process you made a visit here,

141
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: but was there any initial interest maybe down in Mobile

142
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: from the team. No. I mean I've met up with

143
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: a scout from from New England, but outside of that,

144
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: I hadn't talked to coach McDaniels or Coach Belichick or

145
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 1: anybody from from the organization up until my Top thirty

146
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 1: visit which I took that back I talked to Uh,

147
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,239
Speaker 1: I had like a one on one meeting with product

148
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: um for about Jared, I was watching that Draft Academy

149
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: series that you were part of um on the ESPN

154
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: bit and yeah, just up documents whole product. You think,

Speaker 1: not a lot of guys get to go through it,

156
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: so U, Jared, we're kind of losing you on the phone.

157
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 1: Is there any chance you can get a better spot, Jared?

158
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: Do you mind just going back over that again, just

159
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: what that experience was like with the Draft Academy. Yeah, yeah, No,

160
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: it's been great obviously to kind of document this whole

161
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: process because not a lot of guys get to go

162
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: through it. So just doing that and then you know,

163
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 1: just getting my story out there a little bit and UM,

164
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, seeing what kind of person I am, you

165
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: know in football and outside of football, So that that

166
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 1: whole process has been a lot of fun. And then

167
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: just a quick question on on being the one hundred

168
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 1: and thirty third overall pick. You know, we saw obviously

169
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: Kyler go number one, and Jones go six, and then

170
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: a couple others you know after that. Um, what are

171
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: your thoughts on just the draft slot that you ended up? No,

172
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: I'm extremely excited. Um, this is you know, the I

173
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: think a great fit for me and my skill set.

174
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: And you know, I'm really looking forward to dive in

175
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: deeper into this system and getting too again to learn

176
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: from you know, Coach Belichick, Rich McDaniels, Tom Brady Brown, Horror,

177
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: just learning from all these people. I couldn't think of

178
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 1: a better situation with Tom turning forty one and soon

179
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: forty two. Is there any pressure? Do you feel any

180
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: pressure to be the next face of this franchise? No,

181
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't think I feel feel any pressure. I think,

182
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 1: like I said, it's just a it's an awesome opportunity

183
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: to learn from from a guy like Tom and Um,

184
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, he's he's played so much,

185
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: he's seen everything's he's won a lot. I mean, there's

186
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: just so many different intangibles that that you know, I

187
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: want to soak up from him, and um, you know, hopefully.

188
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sure everybody wants to be as good

189
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: as Tom Brady one day, But um, you know, I

190
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: gotta take it one day at a time, and that's

191
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna do, and I'm gonna work as absolutely

192
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 1: hard as i can to to make sure I can

193
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,920
Speaker 1: do whatever it is to help this organization out. Jared

194
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 1: competing against Danny Atling and the SEC. Do you have

195
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: a friendship with him and did he ever communicate to

196
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: you what it was like to learn under Brady and

197
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 1: just be in the NFL. Did you did you say, Danny,

198
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Danny. Did you say Danny, I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah,

199
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 1: So I actually got to talk to him for quite

200
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: a while on my Top thirty business and we just

201
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: we sat down at lunch that day and just you know,

202
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: we were talking about the year before and you know,

203
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,480
Speaker 1: all this stuff. But yeah, I mean he obviously spoke

204
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: very highly of Tom and obviously his work ethic and

205
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 1: when what he's all about, and I mean he just

206
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: said he just like, just like anybody, just soak up

207
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 1: as much as you can, Jared. Would you say that

208
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: you're student of the game, like a film junkie is

209
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: somebody that likes to watch a lot of film. Oh,

210
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, can you repeat it? Would you say that

211
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: you're like a student of the game somebody that's a

212
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: film junkie. Oh, absolutely, I love I love watching ball whatever,

213
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: whether if it's you know, college pro. I just love

214
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: learning more about football and picking people's brains and that

215
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 1: sort of thing. So I would definitely say I'm a

216
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 1: football junkie. Jared just wanted to clarify one thing you

217
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: said while the film was kind of breaking up there.

218
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Did you meet with Nikis Sirio before your pro day?

219
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: It sounded like it might have been a relatively lengthy meeting.

220
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: What was that like, Yeah, yeah, I did, so we met. Uh,

221
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: I guess it was the night before, the night before

222
00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: pro day, and um, you know that was kind of

223
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: my first contact with the Patriots and uh, you know,

224
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: we sat down and went over a bunch of different

225
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 1: things and their offense and you know, my offense at

226
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: Auburn and uh just kind of my background a little bit,

227
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: and so, uh, you know, he just trying to get

228
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: a get a feel for me. And it's obviously great

229
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: to sit there and learn a little bit from him.

230
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: Is there anything different about going through their process, Jared,

231
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: compared to the interviews you had with other teams. You know,

232
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: I think everybody does it in their own way. And

233
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: I think you know how coach Belichick does, you know,

234
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 1: his his whole process with the you know, with the

235
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 1: draft is unique. And I think, uh, you know, they

236
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 1: like to find their guys that they really want to

237
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: go after, and they have a unique way of doing it.

238
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean it was. It was really exciting

239
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 1: to think be going through what they had us do

240
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: and and everything like that. And um yeah, I mean

241
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: and like I said, every went just kind of has

242
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: their own way of doing things. Why do you say

243
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: it's unique? What was unique about it? Well, you know,

244
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: just like well like for instance, some some teams will

245
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 1: just bring in and you'll sit down with maybe the

246
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: quarterback coach and the office coordinator, maybe the head coach,

247
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 1: maybe a um, you know, consultant or whoever it is

248
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 1: and just watch film, not really do too much, just

249
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: kind of talk to things. Um. Some teams get you

250
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 1: up on the board, some teams don't. It just kind

251
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: of depends. So they you know, they really like to

252
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: find out, you know, how smart you are, and they

253
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: like to really challenge you in that way. And uh,

254
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 1: that was you know something that not a lot of

255
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: teams have done. With me prior to the Patriot visit. Um.

256
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 1: So yeah, like I said, they just have a have

257
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: a different, unique way of doing things. Did they test

258
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 1: your excuse me, did they test your recall at all

259
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: when you came for the Top thirty visit? Did they

260
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 1: ask you about anything that you'd talked to Cassario about

261
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: when he met with you and you know, see if

262
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: you'd retained it and kept in your mind. They didn't

263
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,840
Speaker 1: ask me necessarily that, but you know when you sit

264
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: there and you go over you know this play or

265
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: that play you know, at you know, eight thirty in

266
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: the morning and then be able to regurgitate it at

267
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 1: eleven thirty, and doing stuff in between those three hours

268
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: where you know, maybe you're not thinking about it something,

269
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: you know, things like that. Um, they definitely test you

270
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: on Jared. Thanks
