1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: Camp going so far, it's going good. UM, a lot 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: of excitement out there. What's different for you with with 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: the whole offense and coaches? Uh, well, first off, the 4 00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,040 Speaker 1: offense is totally different. UM. You know, a lot of 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: a lot of moving parts. You know, as you can see, UM, 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: coach putting people in different positions at all times, keeping 7 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: the defense guessing. UM. Very receiver friendly you know. Now 8 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,320 Speaker 1: we're just working on just getting on the same page 9 00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 1: as far as receivers, running backs and then dj UM. 10 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: But right now, UM, we're having fun out there. The 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,320 Speaker 1: receiver friendly, UM just give you a lot of freedom, 12 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: you know. UM, you don't have to be so cookie 13 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 1: cutter or do us on the do us on the paper. 14 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: You can go out there and kind of make the 15 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: about your own. When you're making the right you're own, 16 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: how do you, um like ensure the timing of it 17 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 1: or that that kind of just goes back on being 18 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 1: the same page with dj UM talking to him, going 19 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: over during film session and really just taking what the 20 00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:03,960 Speaker 1: defense give you. It's longly' on the same page and 21 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 1: you see the exact same thing with dj you know, 22 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,440 Speaker 1: kind of season field. Then it's your time out perfect 23 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,680 Speaker 1: you guys never really got on that same page last year. 24 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,040 Speaker 1: What makes you think it's gonna it's gonna happen here? Well, 25 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: last year it was just a lot of injuries involved. 26 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 1: I think this year is is a little bit better 27 00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: as far as just um, you know, the training staff, 28 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: strength staff, and then coaching staff just taking care of 29 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: our bodies, and then us as players doing the right 30 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 1: things on and off the field, ensure that we're on 31 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: the field. Kenny. They always say, like perception is reality. 32 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: You're in Detroit, you're a third round pick, overachieving, putting 33 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: up huge numbers last year, coming here a huge contract. 34 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: Did the huge contract way on you at all? Did 35 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: that you know, trying to meet those expectations? No, not 36 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: at all. M It was just a lot of different 37 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 1: moving parts last year. That was last year. I was 38 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: just touchdowns bother you when people bring you up. That's 39 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: like the the easy thing that people bring up scre 40 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: maybe to make scorre gero touchdown. Oh. I mean it 41 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,600 Speaker 1: was disappointing, but like I said, a lot a lot 42 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: of player role in it didn't have. It's almost impossible 43 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,519 Speaker 1: to think of like areas didn't have one either, and 44 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 1: the two of you guys, like obviously, is that something 45 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: you guys have talked about getting off the fast start here? Um, 46 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 1: I mean every every offense want to get off to 47 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: a fast start. But to be honest, we haven't even 48 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,119 Speaker 1: been talking about last year. How okay, how are you 49 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: health wise? I feel good? Yeah, I feel good. I'm 50 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 1: in a good spot right now. Do you credit You 51 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: mentioned the strength staff and the coaches in the spring 52 00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: and how they brought you along in the spring to 53 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: how you feel right now? Um, yeah, I would say 54 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: the stiff staff, training staff, and then you know Dave's 55 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,359 Speaker 1: I feel like they're putting together a good plan. You know, um, 56 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: really easiness into it, not so much easier into it. 57 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: But you know, as far as reps and everything, not 58 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: trying to put everything on you right away, how much 59 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 1: had almost preventatives more than anything else, right the fact 60 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: that you run the side and most of the spring 61 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,519 Speaker 1: said again, how much it was almost like prevented it, 62 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: Like okay, you know, he probably could go out there, 63 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: but maybe we're just better off, you know, holding him 64 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: back at this point. Uh more so, I think just 65 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: being smart, you know, Um, it's a long season. And 66 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 1: then on top of that, with training camp. Come with 67 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 1: with training camp was coming up coming up? Um? I 68 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 1: guess you just want to mess you. I was ready 69 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: for training camp? Hey were you? Were you limited because 70 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: of something that an injury from last year? Was that 71 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 1: something new that propped up on this Uh, we're not 72 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: gonna talk about all that. How was your relationship with 73 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: d J. Brown? Do you think? Uh? I feel like 74 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: it was. I feel like it was growing, um a 75 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 1: lot last year. It's just continued to grow as as 76 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: a will just you know, throughout the years. I feel 77 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: like it's going to grow more. Do you do anything 78 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: differently this offseason, training wise or anything like that? Actually 79 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: stayed up here majority of the time, just with Jake. 80 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 1: Are you a chip on the shoulder guy, Kenny? Like, 81 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: are you a guy who feels like you were at 82 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: the top of this league, lead the league in touchdowns? 83 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: I think the guy who feels like I gotta prove 84 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 1: I can get back to that level? Or are you 85 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: not somebody who wears that chip on your shoulder? I 86 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: would say a chip on the shoulder, but I'm not 87 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: really trying to, you know, prove anything you know to 88 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: you guys or anyone really. Um, it's all about just 89 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: you know, self self motivating myself and just being a 90 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: competition with myself to be honest, Um, just going out 91 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: there doing what I know I'm capable of doing. How 92 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 1: much so you said, you you stay up here and 93 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: works with with with Daniel, how much what we're able 94 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,559 Speaker 1: to do. You you're obviously going through some physical stuff 95 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: at that time. What we're able to do and why 96 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: was it important to do that? Just? Um, that's just 97 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: how much it means to me to be honest, just 98 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: going you know, in the training room, doing little stuff 99 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: working out here as far as in the UM weight 100 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 1: room and then just throwing with DJ. Of course, you know, 101 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: you take your time off, you know, maybe during the 102 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: week or during the weekend to go you know, do 103 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: your personal things as far as traveling everything. But I 104 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: just made a point to myself that I want to 105 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: be up here and just really focus on my body 106 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 1: a little bit more. Did you want to be here 107 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 1: or did you want to be where he was? We 108 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: were all talked about it, so it was pretty much 109 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: here to even with the new offense, you feel all 110 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,840 Speaker 1: the extra time, all those extra reps sort of paying 111 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: off when you get out there and practice. Now, Um, Yeah, 112 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: but you know it's a difference when you know, if 113 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: it's me and DJ just throwing and we were calling 114 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: the play and then we out there the training camp 115 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: practice and it's a defensive front in this moving parts, 116 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: so it's a little bit different. How do you think, Yeah, 117 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: just look, I feel like it's a good competition on 118 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. Um are definitely like what 119 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: we're doing today with the first day of pads. It's 120 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 1: good to you know, the running game going it a 121 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: little a little bit, you know, get a ball to 122 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:42,159 Speaker 1: say quin, that's exciting. Is there somebody in a dable 123 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: offense that you feel like you're playing that spot, like 124 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: whether it was Buffalo, Miami, Kansas City, wherever he was up. 125 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: You know, I'm just my own player. Um, you know, 126 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 1: I got all the faith that Dave's gonna put me 127 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: in the right position. When you put me in a position, 128 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: I just gotta make place. I'll take three more. With 129 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: all the all the pre st emotion, wandall and KT 130 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: running around me, you almost feel like you're standing still 131 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: when oh no, no, I'm pretty sure you know the 132 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 1: defense in the league they know I'm not going to 133 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: get to end around and no reverse or anything like so. 134 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: Uh but I mean just stuff like that that's just 135 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: the you know, get the defense thinking to get people 136 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 1: out of position. Um. I like it. You know, I 137 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,479 Speaker 1: don't gotta. I don't gotta do it at least, but 138 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: you know, I like it. Do you feel like all 139 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: the moving around that you guys are doing in the 140 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: offense kind of makes you guys smarter football players out 141 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: there on the field. It's been staggered in a certain offenses. 142 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 1: I think it. I think it just gives a credit 143 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: to the coach as far as just kind of getting 144 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,039 Speaker 1: your guy open, you know, and not just leaving in 145 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: one spot, moving around a little bit so that defense 146 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: has to react. And um, yeah, I just get that 147 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: credit to the coaches. But to answer your question, you 148 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: do have to really be in that playbook to know 149 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: all right, you know, line up on this side just 150 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: to line up into this final formation or you know, 151 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: it's it's it's it's a lot to it, but um, 152 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 1: but once you get it down, it's fun. And that 153 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,799 Speaker 1: goes even if even if you're not the guy who's 154 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: in motion, you have to know what those guys are 155 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 1: doing right exactly affect what you're doing. What do you 156 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: think about? What do you think about the overall why 157 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: receiver group and how explosive you guys can pick. Uh. 158 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: I like it. You know, Um, you got Katie, you 159 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: have one deal. You have myself. Um, you got some 160 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: tight ends. It's gonna step up. Mixed plays for you. 161 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: Got se Kuwan coming out of the backfield. You know, 162 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 1: whenever Sheep is ready to get back out there. I 163 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: feel like we can do we can do some things.
