And you're combine interview 67 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 1: with the Giants. I think you told him that you 68 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: almost quit football and eighth grade. Why why was that? Well, 69 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 1: it wasn't It wasn't necessarily a quit. It wasn't like 70 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: I was on the field and like I it. You know, 71 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: it was a conversation I have with my mom talking about, 72 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: you know, I wanted to take a year off of 73 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: football and go play basketball. I want to just it 74 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: was just idea for me because being a kid, you 75 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: see all these statistics, and you see all of all 76 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: of you guys, you know, creating narratives and creating frames 77 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: on how hard it is to make it to the NFL. 78 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: So for me, it was I had doubt in my mind, right, 79 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: and then I had to really dive back to my 80 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 1: faith and realize that, you know, there's gonna be statistics 81 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 1: with everything, right, it's up to you to to you know, 82 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: create your own legacy, pressure on yourself to live up 83 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: to exactly great exactly well not really the numbers of 84 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: somebody great.

I 90 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: mean you gotta watch all of them. I mean they're 91 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: got you know, you got outside linebackers playing D tackle, 92 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 1: you got D tackles playing outside linebacker. You've got linebackers 93 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: playing mikes. It's like people are interchangeable all over. But year, 94 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: we gotta watching you know, some raven defense. Oh no, 95 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: I wasn't here.

Will when you learn anything new 98 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: today on the field, just from the coaching points from 99 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: Drew or anybody else, I mean, yeah, but I can't 100 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: tell you.

You know, it's all 104 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: about it's all about creating trust. You know, once he 105 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: kind of trusting me that I know the playbook, and 106 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: then I'm I'm going to be available every Sunday. You 107 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: know that I can, you know, live up to those expectations, 108 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: then yeah, I feel like he's gonna be able to 109 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: cut you know, whoever loose, as long as they had 110 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: that consistency and that you know, trust you sure reaction. 111 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: It seems like you kind of savor that. I mean, 112 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 1: I save every moment. Man, when you when you been 113 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: through everything in your life has brought you to this point, 114 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: It's like, dude, MetLife, the American Dream, the New York Chiants? 115 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 1: Are you serious? You know what I mean? So I 116 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: can't even see it because it's all the greatest right here, 117 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: you know. So for me, it's like just a dream 118 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: come true. Since you were drafted. What would you say 119 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: it's changed with the past few weeks for your if anything? 120 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 1: Um um, The narrative for sure change. If you notice, 121 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: everybody thinks I'm a good guy now and it's all funny, 122 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 1: which is hilarious to me because I've been the same 123 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: guy this whole time. But you know, I'm happy that 124 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: I get to be here with my team and I 125 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: don't have to focus on anybody anymore. Now I can 126 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 1: really just hone in on what I love to do. 127 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 1: Can you lead as a rookie? Um, I feel like 128 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: you could lead and not not in football. You can 129 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: lead in any position in life. Right. It's about doing 130 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,679 Speaker 1: the right thing and doing you know, at all times. 131 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 1: So for me, as long as I'm leading myself down 132 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: the right path, people are gonna fall. You know. As 133 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: long as I'm going the right way, it's gonna be 134 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: easy to have people go with me. So I'm not 135 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: saying that I'm gonna step in and be a vocal leader, 136 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna make sure I do everything the right 137 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: way so that when people see me, they know I'm 138 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: the last one leaving. They know I'm the first one in. 139 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: And that's just you know, how I do things.
