00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: That's all I have to say? Is that your nephew?

14
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: That is that your nephew? Is that what you're claiming? Well,

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: our family tree has many branches, let's put it out. Jim.

16
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this because one of us used

17
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: to be a Chargers rookie and it wasn't me. So

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,400
Speaker 1: what do you remember about your rookie season with the Chargers,

19
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: Being in awe of being in professional football, being in

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: awe of seeing all these all pros and people that

21
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 1: I had been watching for a long time, and then

22
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: we started playing the games, and I'll never forget. It

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: was a preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and I

24
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: got put on the kickoff return team because I raised

25
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 1: my hand and shouldn't have, but I was anxious to

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 1: touch the ball. I got the ball right on the

27
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 1: goal line. I'm promise you this is the truth. I'm

28
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 1: running right up the gut. I get to like the

29
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 1: thirty five yard line, I make a cut, go to

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 1: my left, get to the forty five yard line. I

31
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 1: get tackled two of my cardinal's and my season was over.

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: Oh well, you know what, I have a surprise for you.

33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: I thought you may need a refresher because your rookie

34
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: season was cut short. But we have some exclusive photos

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: and I don't know if Jim Hill has seen before.

36
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: I hope we can get those up right now. Look

37
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: at this guy. See this guy nineteen sixty nine, because

38
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: this was your true rookie year, Jim, you had seven

39
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: interceptions this year, and look at him. Look at you

40
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: tackling one of those kan City chiefs with that number

41
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: on the helmet. I love it. Hit him in the

42
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: head hit him in the hill and makes him dizzy.

43
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: Oh isn't that cool? Have you seen these before? No? No,

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: this is almost like this is your life. It is.

45
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: I gotta give credit to our our buddy, our mutual buddy,

46
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: Tied Now. He found these photos over the weekend going

47
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: through the archives. We have some amazing shots of you,

48
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: and we'll get these to you, Jim. Don't you worry

49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: about it. But I'm so wild to show these to you.

50
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: Oh you know what, somebody's gonna pay for this. Oh,

51
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 1: oh there I am. I'm next tying somebody right there. Yeah,

Speaker 1: I'm trying to talk and here comes a chief shot

53
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: by me. I know that that's what's happened, Loot. Look

00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 1: at look at look at you can see your face, Jim.

55
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: I love it. I can't wait to introduce these guys.

56
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Before we do that, though, a couple of housekeeping things

57
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,359
Speaker 1: that I want to just get out of the way

58
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: before we get to the rookies. As Jim is still

00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: in all of those photos, which I love. But the

00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: job out of that. I've been finally CBS two bolts

79
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: on two. What a way to kick off our partnership tonight.

80
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: But four preseason games this upcoming season, the Dallas Cowboys,

81

Speaker 1: the LA Rams, the Seattle Seahawks, a playoff team from

Speaker 1: a year ago and the NFC champion San Francisco forty

83

Speaker 1: nine Ers. This is gonna be all on CBS two. Jim,

84
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 1: What a way to get ready for the preseason with

85
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: high quality opponents like this. Not only that, but playing

86
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: in a brand new stadium in Inglewood where everyone is

87
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: so excited about what's going to happen the Chargers. There's

88
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: a lot of excitement around this ball club this year,

89
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: and I think that that there's gonna there's gonna be

90
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: a few surprises. And I think the Chargers are gonna

91
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: surprise a lot of people because you're getting back some

92
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: people that were hurt last year right in the middle

93
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: of your your offensive line, You've got some you've got

94
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: some really good wide receivers, you've got to you've got

95
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: a terrific running back, you got you gotta nasty, angry defense.

96
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: And I think that things are going to kind of

97
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: mature along as far as your quarterback is concerning, a

98
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna be surprised, I think. And

99
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: speaking of the quarterback and some of these young guys,

100
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: let's get into them. Let's introduce these guys and get

Speaker 1: to know them a little bit. Yeah. The first guy

Speaker 1: all time receptions leader from Ohio State. A lot of

108
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: people think that this was a steel in the seventh

109
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: round Jim kJ Hill from the Ohio State University. Gentlemen, welcome,

110
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: How are you doing well? Thanks for having us? Thank

111
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: you good. Yeah. First of all, Justin, let's start off

112
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: talking about you. How have you have things kind of

113
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 1: calmed down you just a little bit. Are you still

114
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: going one hundred miles an hour because you're trying to

115
00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: get used to being a professional now and trying to

116
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: get in that playbook even though we are hampered by

117
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: by what by the disease that we have going around. Yeah,

118
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: great question. Definitely tough circumstances for sure. But I made

119
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: the drive down to the LA a couple of weeks ago,

120
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: so I've been living down here and setting up everything,

121
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: getting to work and getting the playbook, throwing running, doing

122
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: all those great things. So it's been great so far.

123
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,279
Speaker 1: What about the burbage have you? Is this kind of

124
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: confusing to you right now? No, it's not too bad.

125
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: We've we've been fortunate enough to have some meetings, so

126
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: we've been able to go over it, had a lot

127
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: of time to spend on it. So it's pretty similar

128
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 1: to what we did at Oregon, just a little more complex.

129
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: So we're getting after it, and Chris, a lot of

130
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: people want to see Justin an action, real, real soon,

131
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: so we have to take a nice and easy because

132
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: this is a little bit different than than collegiate ball.

133
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: Well Justin, I want to show you something. You've probably

134
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: seen it a hundred times of the last couple of weeks,

135
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: but I think you you kind of called your shot

136
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: with the Chargers. We got a picture of you wearing

137
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: a Charger's T shirt as a kid. Look at this.

138
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: This incredible, man, I still every time I see it

139
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: blows my mind and even has schoolwork. You're you're gonna

140
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: live in California, Los Angeles. Look at that. You don't

141
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: like fish pizza, which is incredible. I've never had I've

142
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: never heard of fish pizza. Your favorite teams, the Chargers

143
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: and you're going to be a professional football player. You

144
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: called your shot at a young age. Justin, how has

145
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks been, knowing that all of

146
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: this has happened. It's been incredible. It's it's one of

147
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: those things where you have to kind of pinch yourself.

148
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: And I think a couple of days after the draft,

149
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 1: I told my parents that I was going to drive

150
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: down and I think they were a little not upset

151
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: but maybe sad that I was leaving, but they knew

152
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: that it was for the best. And I think probably

153
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: the greatest part about that is that not only did

154
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: I call the shot, but I called the Chargers moving

155
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: back to LA And so I thought that was pretty special.

156
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: Dale all the Jim, have you ever had fish pizza?

157
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: Fish pizza? Jim? Have I had? Who fish pizza? Justic

158
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: said that was the food he dislikes the most. Hey, listen,

159
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: I can top that one. Have you ever had pickle

160
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: picks feet cancer? That I have? Well, okay, then say

161
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: don't don't. And also, you know, when when we think

162
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: about it, Justin, you you're coming in in this rookie class.

163
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: You've got two really really good receivers, right, here, So

164
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: this could be the tandem of something to build on

165
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: not only you get to know each other this year,

166
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: but for the future and establish yourself as one of

167
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 1: the greats of the game. It's a great opportunity. Just

168
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: like you said, you know, I think Cage is coming

169
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: down here pretty soon, so especially with General, we'll get

170
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: to work as soon as we can. And um, it's

171
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: a great opportunity for us. And UM it's a chance

172
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: that we've we've always asked for, and UM, I know

173
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: these two guys are gonna do everything they can and

174
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm really looking forward to it. And Joe, as far

175
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 1: as you're concerned, that I was reading up on you,

176
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: it's really amazing. You know, the your humble a background

177
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 1: that you come from. But there was something that I

178
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you that It's about a saying that

179
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: that you try to live by it it is earn

180
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: not given. Where did that come from? And what does

181
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: it mean to you? Yeah, so that's something coaching in

182
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 1: the halls Uva football when he got here and we

183
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: had to earn everything, you know, everything in the locker room.

184
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 1: We had to earn our jersey numbers, we had to

185
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: earn our chair in the meeting room. So you know,

186
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: it was just a really you know, work is hard

187
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: for everything that you want, and if you don't work

188
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: for it, then you're not going to get it, especially

189
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: in this program. So earn I giving and something that

190
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 1: I've been working through and living by since coaching in

191
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: the Hall got here in Virginia. What has your family

Speaker 1: than myself. I'm everything to myself and the Los Angeles Chargers,

196
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: So you know, really just being some one of my actions,

197

Speaker 1: he's gonna be a good one. He's gonna be a

199
00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: real good one. He is gonna be a good one.

200
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 1: And he mentioned his college. Hey, coach Bronco Mendenhall. I

201
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: had a chance to catch up with coach Mendenhall to

202
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: talk about Joe coming to the Chargers. Here's a little

203
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: bit of what he had to say. Joe, Then, I

204
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: want you to react to this, all right, So I

205
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: didn't recruit Joe, I inherited Joe and I watched every recruit.

206
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: I stayed up most of the night that was currently signed,

207
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 1: and there was one player and of the many that

208
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: I liked, but there was one specifically that was my

209
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,880
Speaker 1: favorite on high school film that I had just instantly

210
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: had a feeling about, Oh, this guy, he's gonna be special.

211
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 1: And it was Joe Reid's film It's pretty cool. And

212
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: the fact that he didn't recruit you, but he said

213
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: his first night in Charlottesville, he looked at your tape

214
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: said that this is gonna be the guy He's gonna

215
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: ride with it. How does that make you feel? Yeah, So,

216
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: actually at my home visit, when he came to visit

217
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: me at home, you know, he told me the exact

218
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: same story, and you know, the real assurance really held

219
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: me because I wasn't too short what was going to happen.

220
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: The previous coach had recruited me for about three years

221
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 1: and then you know, right before the spring of graduating

222
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 1: high school, there was a coaching change. So I was

223
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: kind of uneasy at first, But after Coachman at home

224
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: came to my house and told me that story, and

225
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: you know, told me how excited he was to get

226
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: to work with me. It was definitely an exciting moment

227
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,959
Speaker 1: for me. You know, from that day on, I've trusted

228
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: everything he said, everything he's taught me, and we've just

229
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,959
Speaker 1: gone from there. All right, let's talk to talk a

230
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 1: little bit to kJ right now, because kJ, you you

231
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: gotta name the little bit of my brother, I mean,

232
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: kJ Hill, because our family tree has many branches, you know, kJ,

233
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: somewhere down the road we just might be and could

234
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: be related. kJ. I don't know if you can hear

235
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: because you just got put back in here. Can you

236
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: hear me? Job? I think kJ is having a hard

237
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: time hero right now. So we'll try to get his

238
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: audio up and go back to Joe real quick. Because

239
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: because Joe, you were first team All ACC is a

240
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: kick returner and as an all purpose player. So speak

241
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: to what you think you can bring to this Chargers

242
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: team on a very explosive offense, but you can do

243
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. Joe. Yeah, so that's something

244
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: I really take pride in. You know, when I'm studying plays,

245
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: I try to study each and every position. I'm a flag.

246
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 1: I'm a guy that you can you can put literally

247
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: anywhere in the offense. So you know, I tell you

248
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: pride in knowing where each guy's lining up, what each

249
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: guy has to do, because I never know when you know,

250
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 1: something might happen, somebody might go down, and I can

251
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: jump in, um and just play ball. So you know,

252
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: I really like just playing football, whether it's you know, inside, outside,

253
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: in the backfield. UM. And on top of that, I

254
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: love changing the game of special teams or whatever phase

255
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: that might be. You know, special teams can be really

256
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: a huge game changer for our team, no doubt. You know, Chris.

257
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: When I'm here here and I'm watching watching Justin and Justin,

258
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: I'm one. You watch these two fine receivers and it's

259
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: almost like you can hardly wait for the three of

260
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: you to get together and really start to establish yourself.

261
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: This is a really cool way for you to come

262
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 1: into the league. You've got some established veterans as wide receivers,

263
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: and you have these two gentlemen that are going to

264
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: be great wide receivers as well. Oh definitely. I've been

265
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: able to watch some film of these two and especially

266
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: some of the receivers are already on the roster, and

267
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm really excited. And I think the receivers are the

268
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 1: quarterback's best friends. So I'm really excited to get to

269
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 1: work with those guys, and I'm really fired up for

270
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: the opportunity. Yeah, Chris, we we got. This is really amazing.

271
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: When I remember when I came in, you know, a

272
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 1: lot of guys were kind of shy and didn't want

273
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: to talk a lot. But we're talking to three young,

274
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: mature men who want to come in. They are professionals

275
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: and they're going to make big contributions to this Los

276
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: Angeles Chargers football team. Yeah, there's no doubt about it.

277
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: And the thing, Joe, I go back to you too,

278
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: because you look at this wide receiver's room, in this

279
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: running backs room. Um, when you when you see guys

280
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: like Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson,

281
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: Joshua Kelly another rookie in the backfield, Um, how much

282
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 1: does that put you at He's knowing that you can

283
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 1: learn a lot from these guys while at the same

284
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 1: time also producing. Yeah, that's the thing I've really been doing,

285
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, watching these guys. I've been watching a lot

286
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: of film on all the guys who just named, seeing

287
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 1: their place style, seeing what works the best for them

288
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: in this system um, and you know, just getting out

289
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: there and being able to line up beside him and

290
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: compete with him, It's gonna be very exciting for me. Joe, Joe,

Speaker 1: Carter last week, a former Ohio state wide receiver. He

308
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: had a lot of good things to say about you.

309
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to this clip and then we'll have your

310
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: react to it. I think he's been an all round

311
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: good player. He has great hands, He understands football, he

312
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: understands route running, leverage. That's the reason why he's been

313
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: able to be successful. If you look at all the players,

314
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: the records that he broke in pursuit of becoming the

315
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: all time receiver at Ohio State, a lot of those

316
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,680
Speaker 1: guys who want to have pretty good pro careers. So

317
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: he's able to continue growing that, then he should be

318
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: able to be able to make a contribution to an

319
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: NFL team. I tell you what, Chris Carter, David Boston,

320
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 1: Terry Glenn, I mean, there are so many amazing OHI

321
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: would state wide receivers. What does it mean to be

322
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: the all time leading receiver? Man? It was it took

323
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: a lot of hard work, you know. But just even

324
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 1: though like my name being in the same categories as

325
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: those guys is just a blessing, you know. Um looking

326
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: at that video, Chris Carter, he you know, mentored me

327
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: last year because I was gonna come out and to

328
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: my name in the draft. But you know he taught

329
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 1: me to maxim here. A big part of that me

330
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: staying in school. And I feel like it helped me

331
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: out a lot and uh my talents and maximize my

332
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 1: career that he didn't No, right, Yeah, I wanted to

333
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: ask I wanted to ask you a question, Jo wanted

334
00:16:56,480 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: to find out. How are you going to keep from

335
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: being in awe now that you are in the NFL. Yeah,

336
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: just staying grounded, Um, you know, continue to be humble,

337
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,239
Speaker 1: take it day by day, just like I happened. Um.

338
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing. Just staying around it.

339
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: Don't let the process get too big for me. Just

340
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: keep the faith. When you talk about the process, do

341
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 1: you know what that process is and how you can

342
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: get through this process to be successful. Yeah. So we've

343
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 1: been talking in our meetings just about how to maximize

344
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 1: our abilities here in the league. And that's just going

345
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: to come from using resources, using my time, well, um,

346
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,679
Speaker 1: learning from from the older the fats, and you know,

347
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: the combination of those three things I think that I

348
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: helped allow with the process and justin how anxious are

349
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 1: you to get with your new teammates and too, so

350
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: they can learn you and you learn them and get

351
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: this thing of rolling so that you know, there's a

352
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: lot of wonderful things that can happen because you are

353
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:57,359
Speaker 1: living right now in the sports capital of the world

354
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 1: a time. I mean, it's a wonderful opportunity. And um,

355
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: you know, like I said earlier, I'm down here, so

356
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: I've had the chance to lift with some of those guys,

357
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: some of the offensive linemen, a couple receivers, and just

358
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: being around those guys as cool and just to get

359
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: to know them. Um, And so I know one day

360
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: we'll go out here really soon start throwing the ball around.

361
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: So whenever these guys show up, I'm looking forward to it.

362
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: And um, it's It's definitely helped us so far, and

363
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep keep doing that and looking forward

364
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: to it. And Christian must be must be really interesting

365
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,240
Speaker 1: and sometimes difficult for for these young men to try

366
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: to get to know each other when we have to

367
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: go through what we are right now with this, with

368
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: this pandemic. It's got to be an adjustment. kJ What

369
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: has the adjustment been like for you to to do

370
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: all of this virtually, to meet your new teammates via

371
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: zoom and having to learn the playbook remotely. I imagine

372
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: it's not what you expected, but you make the most

373
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, you gotta make the most of it.

374
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: You know, you just adapt to the situations, you know.

375
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: But Um, I'm feeling like learning this way is gonna

376
00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: have me have a downpack. You know, I'm gonna kind

377
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 1: of uh got it't go out, you know, and move

378
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 1: through it. Get that muscle Maria plays and stuff like that.

379
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: But I feel like just learning Mike like I was

380
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: in the classroom, you know what helped me, Um learn

381
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: the plays even more. Yeah, kJ, this is Jim. Can

382
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 1: you hear me? No, he still can't hear me. But

383
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,600
Speaker 1: Chris asked him who his who his favorite wide receiver

384
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 1: is in the NFL and why I will kJ, you

385
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,160
Speaker 1: can't hear Jim, but he wants to know who your

386
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: favorite wide receiver is is in the NFL and why

387
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: my favorite rod receiver was Jarvis Landry. Um. Biggest part

388
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 1: about Jarvis Landry game is just you you feel him,

389
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: you know when you watch him play, he has that

390
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: dog mentality about him and you know he lets you

391
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: know every time he dominates. And I just love that

392
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: about him. And you know, I feel like we got

393
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: a similarity in uh, in our game. And what about Joe. Yeah,

394
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna Mike. Ament's just you know, the production, the

395
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: swag on the field. It's how he Harry carries himself.

396
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: So that's how I we'll go with. And Justin what

397
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: about you? What what quarterback in the NFL really impresses

398
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,439
Speaker 1: you want someone that you really would like to have

399
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: your game pattern after. Yeah, I would say Tom Brady.

400
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: He's one of those guys that has has had so

401
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: much success and just the way he goes at the

402
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: game and how smart he is, and um, just the

403
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: way he's handled everything. It's it's been really fun to

404
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 1: watch and one of those guys that, uh, you just

405
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: want to model your game after. The way he throws,

406
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: the way he reads defenses, and the way he plays

407
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: the game. And all those rings kind of help too,

408
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: don't They doesn't hurt Chris. This is a well rounded

409
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: group of young men that the Charges have and uh,

410
00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 1: I can I can see nothing but really good things

411
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 1: in store for them on this team. Yeah, the foundation

412
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: has been built, you could tell with all these guys.

413
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: And Justin, Uh, Mario Christo Ball, your head coach at Oregon,

414
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 1: he just had nothing but glowing things to say about

415
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,360
Speaker 1: what the Chargers are getting. In Justin Herbert, let's hear

416
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: from from Mario and you can react to your coaching.

417
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: Justin himself, I can't say enough about this guy. And

418
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 1: I get it. Look when you get guys on on

419
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: your show to talk about their former players and how

420
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,120
Speaker 1: they're getting drafted, I'm sure they all gush about them.

421
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,920
Speaker 1: But I take a good hard look at what this

422
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: young man has done academically on the field. The adversities

423
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 1: have to overcome between the coaching changes, the injuries, and

424
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do with all that stuff,

425
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's just getting started. He's just

426
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: scratched in the surface. I mean, I couldn't I couldn't

427
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: ask for a better coaching opportunity to be around a

428
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 1: guy like him, And I couldn't wish a better situation

429
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: for any NFL team than a guy like Justin Herbert

430
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: to be on that on that team. Wow, Justin, Justin,

431
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: That's that's absolutely incredible. I'd like to I'd like to

432
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 1: talk about the I'd like you to talk about you

433
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 1: just got I think we're here, talk about the adversity

434
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: that you had to come, had to overcome. You're going

435
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: to have adversity every game in the NFL. What what

436
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: did you learn in college about adversity and how to

437
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: overcome it. Yeah, that's a great question. Lie first showed

438
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: up at Oregon. Oregan has historically had a lot of success.

439
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: They were in the National Championship a couple of years ago,

440
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: and um, my first year, we went four and eight

441
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: and I came in midway through the year and our

442
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: coaches ended up leaving and at a new coach the

443
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: next year, and then the next year after that we

444
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: had another coach, and so we went through three different offenses,

445
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of different strength and conditioning programs, a couple

446
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: of broken collar bones, some injuries like that, and we

447
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: just went through a lot. And so from four and

448
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: eight to twelve and two and win in the Rose Bowl.

449
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: We had a core group of guys that stuck through

450
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: it and stayed together, and it could have gone a

451
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:52,400
Speaker 1: bunch of different ways, but just to be around those

452
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: guys and to go through everything we did was was

453
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: really great. And then you go down and do you

454
00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: the MVP at the Senior Bowl, there's well, yeah, that

455
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: was a lot of fun. That was one of those

456
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: things that I didn't want to shy away from. I

457
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: just wanted to go compete and have fun and get better.

458
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 1: So it was a great week. Really enjoyed it and

459
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 1: glad the way things turned out. And when you were

Speaker 1: of all the wide receivers in this deep perhaps by

479
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 1: the deepest wide receiver classes we've ever seen in really

480
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,480
Speaker 1: the history of the draft. You were in the top

481
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: three or four in terms of hands and he said

482
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: his advice to you was to just shadow Keenan Allen

483
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:21,120
Speaker 1: and learn the ways of being a pro route running. Um.

490
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,719
Speaker 1: but we not get open. I watched it, I studied

495
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,120

496
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,439

497
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: Is it his a mental approach to the game. Is

498
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,000

515
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: small town called Charlotte, Cordouse, Virginia. You know, we got

516
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 1: about five hundred, little over five hundred people. One of

517
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:21,960

00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: and spear of frogs. They're shining light on them and

Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Let them know, Jim. Oh, yeah, no,

524
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: because remember earlier I talked about pickle picksfie. You know

525
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: in Texas, that's where I'm from. That is something that

527
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,239
Speaker 1: But let me tell you something, Joe says, me talk

528
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: about frogs. When I was in college, I wanted to

529
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 1: get find a way to get kicked out of my

530
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 1: biology class. I found it. Took a cherry bomb firecracker,

531
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: because you know, you have labs right, and you got

532
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 1: to dissect the frog. I got a cherry bomb firecracker.

533
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: I put it in the frog, I sewed it up.

534
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: I put it on a gurney and slid about halfway

535
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,440
Speaker 1: up the aisle, lit a match to it. I blew

536
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: the frog up and it was frog stuff was just everywhere.

537
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 1: The professor. This is a true story, Joe. Listen to

538
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: me very carefully. Now. The professor was writing on the blackboard.

539
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 1: He never turned around. He said, mister Hill, get out. Yeah.

540
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,879
Speaker 1: So we had history on doing a lot of things.

541
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,359
Speaker 1: The more needs to be said. I guess you got

00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,120

669
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: Mahal of every NFL stadium in the United States, and

670
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: it may be the taj Mahal of any any stadium

671
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: mall arena in the in the world. When you when

672
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: you think about what this facility is going to look like,

673
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: it's going to provide the home team with a college

674
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: sam kind of atmosphere. You remember the Gladiators, whether when

675
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: you make noise, the noise stays right in the in

676
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: the in the bowl. So I can hardly wait to

677
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 1: get this thing roally. It's one of those places where

678
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 1: I've heard it the last several months. You're gonna have

679
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 1: to go three or four times to explore it just

680
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,800
Speaker 1: to see all the bells and whistles that Sofi Stadium

681
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: has to offer. So look forward to seeing everybody out there. Jim,

682
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: what do you say want to get to it. Let's

683
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:56,160
Speaker 1: get right to it. You know what, Let's start with

684
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 1: Joshua Kelly running back out of out of UCLH. It's

685
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,879
Speaker 1: really amazing. I'm gonna introduce all these guys real quick.

686
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get them all in there because Joshua, of course,

687
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick UCLA's it's rare defying somebody born

688
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 1: in Inglewood who's gonna play his professional football in Inglewood.

689
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: So Joshua's here with US first round pick Kenneth Murray.

690
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: The Chargers gave up a second and third round pick

691
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,919
Speaker 1: to move up into the first round number twenty three

692
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: overall to get this punishing linebacker from Oklahoma and finally

693
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 1: the safety from Notre Dame, a twenty nineteen captain. The

694
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: Chargers have drafted four defensive players from Notre Dame since

695
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen. A Lohe Gilman is the fourth. Gentleman, thanks

696
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: so much for joining us. How are we doing today? Good?

697

00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,720
Speaker 1: forward with Joshua, all right. Joshua, First of all, you know, congratulations,

699
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:52,880
Speaker 1: and you know there's not that many people that have

700
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: done what you are doing, and that is grew grew

701
00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:58,520
Speaker 1: up in an area, played college in the same area,

702
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 1: and now playing in the NFL. That's that's quite an

703
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: accomplishment for you. And I'd like for you to talk

704
00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 1: about what it means for you to be playing professional

705
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: football and actually your own hometown. Yeah, yeah, it's kind

706
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 1: of It's really surreal to me right now. You get

707
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: a chance to actually play college football UCLA and get

708
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: a chance to play for the Chargers. It's a heck

709
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: of a ride. And I'm excited. I can't wait. You know,

710
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm really grateful, humble for opportunity. What's what's the problem.

711
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:33,560
Speaker 1: Are you surprised to be with the Chargers now? Man?

712
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm not really surprised, you know. Guy,

713
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: it's all his timing. He works things out and I'm

714
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 1: just just waiting for my name to get called in

715
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,080
Speaker 1: and they're up there and they called me. So I'm

716
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 1: just grateful. I'm excited. Man, part of the be Bolt

717

Speaker 1: gang now, so you know, we got Low, he got Kenned. Man.

718
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: We're all here, all too stuff. We're excited, right, that's all. Yeah,

719
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 1: it sounds like this, this this rookie group is ready

720
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:59,359
Speaker 1: to come in and start rocking and rolling right, Joshua, Absolutely, yeah,

721
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: we're ready. Yeah, Chris, it's gonna be a lot of

722
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: fun watching him. It is gonna be a lot of

723
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,279
Speaker 1: fun watching Joshua. And I want to get to Kenneth now,

724
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: because Kenneth, the Chargers they moved up at number twenty

725
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:12,799
Speaker 1: three overall, gave up a second and third round pick

726
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 1: to get you when you got that phone call. Explained

727
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 1: what that was like when you got the call from

728
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 1: the Chargers who boomed up to get Kenneth Murray Man,

729
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: it was something I completely didn't expect, to be honest,

730
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 1: really caught me off guard. You know, I was sitting

731
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,399
Speaker 1: there obviously, you know, waiting on my phone to ring,

732
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: and you know, you know, the phone rings, and it

733
00:37:35,440 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 1: was actually an area code from from Indianapolis. So I

734
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:40,959
Speaker 1: was just like, that's weird, and so answered the phone

735
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:44,440
Speaker 1: and then here here the GM say, oh, you know,

736
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,200
Speaker 1: it's a gym from the Chargers. Um, And that's when,

737
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:49,359
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, the emotions just took over.

738
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 1: But it was just so crazy because you know, they're

739
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 1: they're probably probably the least team, you know, all the

740
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: teams that I had talked to that you know, they lost.

741
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:58,839
Speaker 1: They talked to me kind of the least. I mean

742
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: we had a formal meeting that combine, lud, you know

743
00:38:01,600 --> 00:38:04,359
Speaker 1: pretty much. Other than that, that really was it. So

744
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 1: it was just called me by surprise. I'm so grateful

745
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,800
Speaker 1: to be a charge. How about that? Another wrinkle into

746
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 1: the process. Tom Tolesco used to work for the Indianapolis Colts.

747
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,440
Speaker 1: I guess he still has the same area code, Kenneth.

748
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:26,200
Speaker 1: He got me for shure, Jim, Kenneth, you look at

749
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,920
Speaker 1: this defense, all three levels of the defense. You have

750
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: a guy like Joey Bosa. Didn't you have Kenneth at

751
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: the livebacker position. Then you have a cornerstone player like

752
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: Darwin James Jim. To have a leader and a guy,

753
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: an impact player, a blue chip player on each unit

754
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: of the defense, that's a big deal for the Chargers. Yeah,

755
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,320
Speaker 1: it really is. And when when I thinking and listening

756
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,600
Speaker 1: to you talk to Kenneth Murray, I think of of

757
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 1: a phrase that he's a bad man. He's a bad man.

758
00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 1: He is a bad man. It's one thing for a

759
00:38:57,480 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: club to give up a draft choice to get you.

760
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: It's something else when the club gives up two picks

761
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: in order to get you. That that tells that tells

762
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 1: you that they expect you to come in and contribute

763
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,279
Speaker 1: right away. Kenneth, do you get that same feeling that

764
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: the charges are are looking at you as coming in

765
00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: and contributing immediately besides just on special teams? Well, and

766
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: I think you know, my conversation with the coaches, you

767
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: know right now, it's just religious been uh you know,

768
00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 1: harpening on me getting getting the playbook down and religious,

769
00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: you know, just studying the playbook. So you know, for me,

770
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: you know, I nobody has higher expectations for me then

771
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 1: met Um. And so you know, just for me, I'm

772
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: just you know, trying to grind it out with this playbook,

773
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: trying to control it. I can control and um, you know,

774
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 1: whenever I can get out there to LA and we

775
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,359
Speaker 1: can get to grinding and grind it out. What are

776
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:52,200
Speaker 1: you learning about yourself, Kenneth, as we're going through uh

777
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: this this uh, this this horrible disease that we're going

778
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: through right now, what are you learning about yourself? Well?

779
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,520
Speaker 1: I think you know from me, Um, it's just kind

780
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: of just give me an opportunity to just really just

781
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 1: you know, do the things that I harp on all

782
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 1: the time. You know, controlling what you can control. You know,

783
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 1: that's really what I'm sticking to right now. You know,

784
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:13,040
Speaker 1: I understand that. You know, we're going through this time

785
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 1: and it's a it's it's not a good time for

786
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 1: us as a as a community, as as the world

787
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 1: as a society. And so at the end of the day,

788
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, I can't do anything about that. I can't control.

789
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,600
Speaker 1: That I can control is you know my effort that

790
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: I put it too, you know, my workouts, wherever I

791
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: put into the playbook and just putting myself in the

792
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,240
Speaker 1: best physician. So, um, that's what I'm gonna do. Chris,

793
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 1: That's that's the perfect attitude to him, wouldn't you agree?

794
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,800
Speaker 1: There's no doubt about it. And talking to Daniel Jeremiah,

795
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:42,479
Speaker 1: the lead draft analysts at the NFL Network, he said

796
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: that Kenneth had the most impressive interviews of any player,

797
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:47,799
Speaker 1: and he said he talked to multiple teams, not just

798
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,160
Speaker 1: the Chargers. Now you're getting one guy who's not only

799
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 1: a bad man like you said, Jim on the field,

800
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 1: but he's a he's a first class person. I want

801
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: to get to a lowhee, Jim, because I've been I've

802
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: been playing with this, Is it Notre Dame West? Is

803
00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: itself been by the beach? I don't know. I'm trying

804
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,360
Speaker 1: to come up with a with a new term for this.

805
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 1: Alttle he you drafted by the Chargers in the sixth round.

806
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 1: You got a bunch of guys that used to play

807
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: with it. What was it like to get that call

808
00:41:13,719 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 1: for the Chargers knowing that you could be reunited with

809
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: guys like Drew Tranquil and Jerry Tillery And I don't

810
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,680
Speaker 1: think you played with Isaac Mischelle, but I'm sure you

811
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: know a lot about them. Yeah, I mean it was great. Uh,

812
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: similar to Kenneth, I got an Indianapolis area coll so

813
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: I kind of threw me off as well. I'm just

814
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 1: throwing you guys off. Yeah, but you know, caught me

815
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,319
Speaker 1: off guard. And also similar to Kenneth, I I didn't

816
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: really talk to the Chargers as much throughout the draft

817
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,040
Speaker 1: process pre draft process, So get that to get that

818
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: call its pretty amazing. Um, you know, you know, emotions

819
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 1: and whatnot, you know, So it was pretty cool. You know,

820
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: Drew and Jerry, those guys all called me as well.

821
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 1: They've been good mentors of mind throughout this whole process

822
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 1: and in my career at Notre Dame as well. So

823
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna be awesome and I'm excited to go Alo.

824
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 1: What what do you think is going to be your

825
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:08,839
Speaker 1: biggest adjustment going from collegiate now to the NFL. Yeah,

826
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean there's a lot of different things you gotta uh,

827
00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: you gotta worry about, um, you know, just being a

828
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,600
Speaker 1: pro first and foremost. So I don't care of the

829
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 1: little things, um, and that's something I try to problem

830
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: myself as well in college. But you know this is

831
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: this becomes a profession now and you got to be

832
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:25,640
Speaker 1: able to be a professional. Um, take care of the

833
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 1: little things and be prepared as much as you can

834
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 1: to handle all the different different situations, don't aren't you now?

861
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,359
Speaker 1: want to dive into your story a little bit, really

862
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 1: dive into all three of you guys stories throughout the

863
00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,759
Speaker 1: next twenty minutes or so, but you are a local kid,

864
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:21,240
Speaker 1: went to UC Davis and you walked on to UCLA

865
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: and I had a chance to talk to your running

866
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 1: backs coach, to Sean Foster about your relentlessness. I think

867
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:29,560
Speaker 1: I mean to be the first word in this clip.

868
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: Let let's go to de Sean Foster see what he

869
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:33,360
Speaker 1: had to say about you, and then I want you

870
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: to react to this. So Josh was relentless in this process.

871
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: There was here, was messaging every day, some sort of

872
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 1: way saying people, was on Twitter, he was calling office

873
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: like it got to he did so much said when

874
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: people just recognizing his voice when they call it pretty

875
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 1: so they just thought who it was? Yeah, like, oh

876
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: this is Josh Kelly. It was pretty exciting now he

877
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 1: uh then hevie, he had camp or transfers and Junian

878
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: college guys. He came out performingly well and the rest

879
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 1: is history. The squeaky wheel, he gets it. Hey, what

880
00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: was it? What was it like to go through that

881
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,880
Speaker 1: process of knowing that that you're capable of playing at

882
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: that next level, playing at a big school like UCLA,

883
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 1: and then finally doing it and then delivering upon that. Yeah,

884
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 1: you know, for me, when I went to UC Davis. Uh,

885
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, those were always cost about for out of

886
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: high school. So I was there about two seasons. And

887
00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: I've always had that internal drive, you know, I've always

888
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 1: had that self confidence that I can play at the

889
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: highest level in the major conference. So you know, I

890
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: took a bet on myself, putting myself out there. And

891
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 1: it's crazy how UCLA. You know, they kind of entertained

892
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: me a little bit, and that's all I either was

893
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: that green light and I was hitting up coach Foss

894
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,640
Speaker 1: every day, you know, Monday through Friday at the same time,

895
00:45:51,719 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 1: so he knew who exactly who I was. And uh,

896
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 1: Coach Foss, that's my guy, you know, that's my guy.

897
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: He played in the league. You know, he's an amazing

898
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: running back for the Hampers, you know, so that's my guy.

899
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 1: He taught me a lot of course, man have to

900
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,439
Speaker 1: be relentless and have to show him like he made

901
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:11,879
Speaker 1: my decision right. So he's my guy, Jim. That's where

902
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 1: he got to the where he is today, fourth round,

903
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:16,720
Speaker 1: picked by the Chargers, about to do big things because

904
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 1: of that relentlessness, you know, Chris. One of the things

905
00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: that impresses me about Joshua Kenneth and Are. It's the

906
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:27,319
Speaker 1: fact that they are mature young men. They come from

907
00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: great schools. They know that they are role models right

908
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: now and especially in these times that we're going through.

909
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:35,880
Speaker 1: And I'd like for each of them, Joshua, like you

910
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: and Kenneth and allowed to talk about the responsibility that

911
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:42,799
Speaker 1: you have as a professional athlete to the community, to

912
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 1: be a good citizen and to give back to the

913
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:47,319
Speaker 1: community so that other young people will have an opportunity

914
00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: that you're going to have. Joshua, let's start with you. Definitely,

915
00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:54,080

965
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 1: factor of these three young men. And when I listen

966
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:15,720
Speaker 1: to what they have said about giving back and things

967
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: like that, it reminds me of saying by doctor Martin

968
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 1: Luther King when he said, giving back to your fellow

969
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:24,320
Speaker 1: mankind is one of the most noble things that anyone

970
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 1: can do. And Joshua and Kenneth and Alhi, I see

971
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: right now, you're going to give back not only on

972
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:32,040
Speaker 1: the football field, but give back in the community to

973
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: your fellow mankind. And not only will you be better

974
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 1: off because of that, the community is going to be

975
00:49:38,200 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 1: better off because of that too. So I just I

976
00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,200
Speaker 1: can hardly wait until you guys get on the field

977
00:49:42,200 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 1: and you start rocking and rolling. Yeah, it's so well

978
00:49:45,600 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: said Jim and Kenneth. We know about you on the field, man,

979
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 1: but I got an opportunity to watch a video from

980
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: ESPN when you were drafted just about your family and

981
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 1: if you could just expound upon how your siblings and

982
00:49:58,719 --> 00:50:04,000
Speaker 1: fully shape the person that you are today. Man, it

983
00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,040

00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: that they had, and UM all that they put into

00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:52,759
Speaker 1: able to walk in them to one of where they

1000
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: could walk and they're not being able to walk again,

1001
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:57,239

1010
00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: and he has some some great things to say about you.

1011
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 1: This clip particularly stuck out to me. He is a physical,

1012
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 1: nasty competitor that that you guys are really loved to

1013
00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:31,960

Speaker 1: My son plays Madden, Um, you know, you create a player,

1015
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:41,719
Speaker 1: it's like that's that's who you're creating. And not only

1016
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:44,520
Speaker 1: he's got those intangibles on the field, but he's such

1017
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 1: a good person, um and he will be he'll be visible,

1018
00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:52,640
Speaker 1: um in the in the community. It's got to make

1019
00:51:52,640 --> 00:52:02,000
Speaker 1: you feel good. Kenneth, Yeah, because as because of don't

1020
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,200

1021
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,480
Speaker 1: he just he liked family, So I mean, you know

1022
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 1: what he said. I mean that is true. Though you know,

1023
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: once I what I see on the fields straight business.

1024
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,239
Speaker 1: You want to hear the words nasty and physical with

1025
00:52:17,320 --> 00:52:20,279
Speaker 1: regards to a live backer, believe me. You know, he

1026
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,960
Speaker 1: Chrisy kind of reminds me a little bit of Ray

1027
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: Lewis and in his mental approach to the game and

1028
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,480
Speaker 1: how he's talking about it. And Joshua, I was I

1029
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,600
Speaker 1: was watching you when Kenneth was talking, and I could

1030
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,000
Speaker 1: see how you were agreeing with everything that he was

1031
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:38,240
Speaker 1: saying about what family means to him, what community means

1032
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 1: to him, and when you have those kinds of qualities.

1033
00:52:42,239 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: That means that he can trust you and you can

1034
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:46,560
Speaker 1: trust him not only off the field, but on it

1035
00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 1: as well. Joshua. Absolutely, Family, that's everything, you know, That's

1036
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 1: what it's all about. I think, you know, for all

1037
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:56,000
Speaker 1: of us, you know, Loy Kenneth, we all know that.

1038
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: You know, what we're doing is a lot bigger than us,

1039
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, playing the game. It's a lot bigger than

1040
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:02,719
Speaker 1: just me and the next guy next to me is

1041
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:05,440
Speaker 1: everybody's a whole collective effort. You know, we all have

1042
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 1: those core values and family that means a lot to us.

1043
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,480
Speaker 1: A little people, who was who was your favorite NFL

1044
00:53:11,560 --> 00:53:14,799
Speaker 1: player growing up? And how did he influence you to

1045
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: be the future star that you are right now? Yeah,

1046
00:53:20,200 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 1: mine is actually different. I played offense like growing up

1047
00:53:23,840 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: all the until my senior year of high school. Actually,

1048
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 1: so I was actually a big Darren Spros fan. He's

1049
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 1: probably my favorite player of all time. You know, I

1050
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 1: was very undersized guy, very under recruited guy, and he

1051
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,279
Speaker 1: kind of helped me, you know, strike that fire, you know,

1052
00:53:39,360 --> 00:53:42,720
Speaker 1: giving that motivation of being able to accomplish something regardless

1053
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: of your height, regardless of your size. But the heart

1054
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,439
Speaker 1: you have. So he was a guy that I looked

1055
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,480
Speaker 1: up to and he was one of my favorite players

1056
00:53:49,480 --> 00:53:53,880
Speaker 1: of all time. So by being under recruited, you you

1057
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 1: went in with a chip on your shoulder, something to prove. Right,

1058
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 1: of course you got to still there. Will never leave Chris.

1059
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,640
Speaker 1: They're gonna be good. They're gonna be all right. I

1060
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 1: like this The group yesterday was good. I like this

1061
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:10,440
Speaker 1: group too. They have the great a mental approach, family

1062
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 1: approach and giving back to the community. They got the

1063
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 1: pull package right here. Yeah. You know. Shortly after a

1064
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 1: Loohi was drafted, his head coach Brian Kelly tweeted immediately

1065
00:54:19,239 --> 00:54:22,080
Speaker 1: like this is one of the most inspirational leaders in

1066
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,320
Speaker 1: our locker room. And we caught up with coach Kelly

1067
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: last week. Here's what he had to say about you.

1068
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:33,759
Speaker 1: Alohi passion, a passion that you'll see it both on

1069
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: and off the field. He'll be active in the community.

1070
00:54:37,400 --> 00:54:41,560
Speaker 1: He'll be somebody that immediately showed us himself on the field.

1071
00:54:41,600 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 1: And the way that he makes plays just great instincts

1072
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 1: for the game. Some people have made to play the

1073
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: game of football. God made him to play this game

1074
00:54:50,680 --> 00:54:55,399
Speaker 1: of football. Wow, I made him to play this game

1075
00:54:55,440 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 1: of football. That's a lohan. That's fun. But he when I,

1076
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 1: when I, when I listen to these gentlemen talk, the

1077
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 1: word passion keeps coming up. And Joshua, Kenneth and a loathing,

1078
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: I'd like for each of you to talk about what

1079
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 1: the word passion means to you that not only will

1080
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: it help you off the field, but on the field

1081
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: as well. Joshua, Um, for me, passionage is burning intensity. Um,

1082
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 1: it's intensity that you know. I played it for the

1083
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,960
Speaker 1: game before because I love it. I love football and

1084
00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 1: that's not going to change about me. I love it.

1085
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: I want to be the best, you know, regardless of

1086
00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: you know where I was drafted, you know, undrafted, drafted.

1087
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:35,560
Speaker 1: You know, we all compete. We want to be the best.

1088
00:55:35,600 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 1: So for me, that passion to be the best and

1089
00:55:37,880 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 1: want to give back and to be the best off

1090
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,880
Speaker 1: the field as well. That's what it means for me. Wow, Kenneth,

1091
00:55:42,960 --> 00:55:46,920
Speaker 1: what about you? I think for me? You know, you

1092
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:48,880
Speaker 1: know when I when I think of passion, I just

1093
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 1: think of, um, just a lifestyle or a wheel to

1094
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,239
Speaker 1: just be great at something. Um. You know, for me,

1095
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, football in my life and you know I don't.

1096
00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:00,719
Speaker 1: I don't say that. I likely, like I truly do, eat,

1097
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:04,879
Speaker 1: breathe and sleep football like literally, like like as a kid,

1098
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 1: I would go to sleep with my football helmet and

1099
00:56:06,920 --> 00:56:09,319
Speaker 1: my football. I like, like I've been doing this since

1100
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,560
Speaker 1: I was a kid. And you know, just being on

1101
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: this ground, being on this journey, like you know, it's

1102
00:56:13,760 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: just it means so much to me, and I think,

1103
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:17,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's just so important. It just had that

1104
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: type of respect for the game. Um. You know, you

1105
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:23,279
Speaker 1: only get in what you what you put in, so um,

1106
00:56:23,320 --> 00:56:24,960
Speaker 1: you know it's just for me, it's just you know,

1107
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,680
Speaker 1: just truly just my life and just you know, being passionate.

1108
00:56:28,560 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 1: Look he what about you? Yeah, I mean, you know,

1109
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 1: on the same lines as Josh and Kenneth. You know,

1110
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:37,719
Speaker 1: Coach Kenney kind of talks about it. Uh, you know,

1111
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 1: it's just just a burning desire that you have. Um,

1112
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,839
Speaker 1: and you know, guys who played and these guys as well,

1113
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,960
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about just waking up every day

1114
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: or going to sleep, you know, just just excited to

1115
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,239
Speaker 1: get better. It's excited to work forwards something bigger than

1116
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: than what you've done the day before. So um, you

1117
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 1: know that's something that runs deep inside you, and you

1118
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,359
Speaker 1: gotta have that if you're gonna play this game um

1119
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: on a high level. And I think that's one of

1120
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 1: the keyple moments, you know, to excel at a high level.

1121
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 1: You know, Chris, the great ones, the true great ones

1122
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 1: in any sport, have the qualities and the dedication that Joshua,

1123
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 1: Kenneth and Alohi are talking about. There is true greatness

1124
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: in you, three young men, and it's not going to

1125
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 1: take long for that greatness to come out because you

1126
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:25,400
Speaker 1: have all the characteristics of a of a loving person,

1127
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 1: of family, love of teammates, and trust. Because when someone

1128
00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,520
Speaker 1: trusts you, that's one of them. That's one of the

1129
00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:35,000
Speaker 1: best qualities you can ever have. Gentlemen. It takes a

1130
00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 1: long time to earn it. You can lose it in

1131
00:57:37,880 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 1: a split second. So value that word trust throughout the

1132
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: course of your NFL career, not only on the field,

1133
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: but off the field and in the community. Chris, They're

1134
00:57:46,240 --> 00:57:48,280
Speaker 1: gonna be just great. They're gonna be just fine. They're

1135
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 1: could be just fine. And we only have a few

1136
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,520
Speaker 1: more minutes left, guys. I want to I want to

00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 1: close with a couple of things, but I want to
