0:01:23.680 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, yeah, that's really all. Maybe that's what I

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:28.200
<v Speaker 2>would do.

<v Speaker 2>that dude. We did everything together. Yeah, college ball, lived together,

0:01:46.640 --> 0:01:49.400

<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah all the time, all the time. He can't

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 2>do anything right, he can't do a single thing right.

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:08.679
<v Speaker 1>Who's the better trash talker the two?

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? I'd take it all the way.

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Okay, do you guys have that like weird twin

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.640
<v Speaker 1>connection where you just like know if something's going on

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 1>with him.

0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 2>For sure, Like when anytime I watch his games and yeah,

0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.040
<v Speaker 2>oh god, it's like the loudest thing ever. I'm yelling

0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 2>at the TV. I feel like I'm there, like he's

0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 2>playing the post like I'm back there doing it too.

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:32.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so how much are you guys checking in with each.

0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 2>Other all the time? I'll probably call him right after this,

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 2>probably just to see And most of the time I

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 2>can't even get a hold of him because he's it's

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>like trying to get ahold of the president. That's what

0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 2>are like. Me and my roommates say, yeah, he never

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 2>picks up the phone ever, Right, I always pick up

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.720
<v Speaker 2>for him, but he'll turn me back and we'll catch

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.120
<v Speaker 2>up talk about our days.

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, usual. Okay, So I find this fascinating because

0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>growing up in Canada, we don't know a lot of

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>guys that play in the NFL. We all know somebody

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>that plays in the NHL. That's always like we went

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:07.079
<v Speaker 1>to school with a guy, we know a guy, blah

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>blah blah. We don't know a ton of guys that

0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:13.480
<v Speaker 1>play in the NFL. So your journey to go from

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>living in London Ontario to moving to Florida and going

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>to high school to pursue this dream. It's rare to

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>hear that. Can you walk me through how you were

0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>able to even achieve that and pull that off and

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.000
<v Speaker 1>be here now in the NFL?

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean number one, it took a world class

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 2>you know, they can nobody could match up to, you know,

0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:38.560
<v Speaker 2>the support system that my brother and I had with

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 2>the Whost family. My mom, my grandma coaches. So I'm

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 2>just gonna start there. But grew up in London, Ontario,

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:52.080
<v Speaker 2>bounce around a little bit, ended up having this opportunity

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 2>to play football in Florida, went there, moved in with

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:56.400
<v Speaker 2>his host family.

0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 1>Like how does that opportunity come up?

0:03:58.120 --> 0:03:58.320
<v Speaker 2>Though?

0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Because even in like I was trying to say before,

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.760
<v Speaker 1>it's like my high school, nobody really played football. So

0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:05.600
<v Speaker 1>how do you get to the point that you're like there,

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:07.640
<v Speaker 1>you're in it to be scouted, to be able to

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>move down to the United States.

0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 2>To do that? I see, I don't know if I'm

0:04:10.720 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 2>allowed to use the word scouted, but it was an

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:17.279
<v Speaker 2>academic scholarship, so that's how it worked out.

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, got it?

0:04:21.040 --> 0:04:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? So anyways, my brother and I played football. We

0:04:24.839 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 2>want to take it to the next level. But you know,

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 2>we saw a couple of guys make this prep school move.

0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 2>It's actually you know, Jesse Lukita he plays for the Cardinals,

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 2>and then John Metchi he plays for the Texans. So

0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 2>those are kind of the first two guys that did

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.920
<v Speaker 2>it of the fall. Yeah, so we kind of knew, like, hey,

0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 2>if you know there's something we wanted to do, kind

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.159
<v Speaker 2>of have to follow their footsteps. Yeah, so you know,

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 2>eventually we made the move down there. Lovely whole family.

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:54.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean we it was kind of a crazy turnaround.

0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.160
<v Speaker 2>We met, we talked with the school or whatever on

0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.400
<v Speaker 2>like a Tuesday, and then and talk to the host

0:05:01.440 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 2>family on a Wednesday, moved in with them two days later,

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 2>just you and your brother. So my mom Roe was

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 2>down but yes, it was just my brother and I

0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 2>with the family. Yeah. So yeah, that was a crazy turnaround.

0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:19.479
<v Speaker 2>But where it took us, it's you know, it's priceless

0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:22.200
<v Speaker 2>everything that did for us. I mean we I wouldn't

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 2>be seeing with you here today, like if it wasn't

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>for sure.

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>It's so crazy how things kind of fall into place

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do that. But to think of

0:05:30.120 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 1>like you and your brother being in London, moving to Florida,

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>going to high school together. You guys go to Illinois together.

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>It's like the first time you guys have really been separated.

0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>Is that kind of rocking a little bit?

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? No, I definitely miss him. Yeah, I wish, I

0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:45.159
<v Speaker 2>wish I saw my roommate. But he's doing, you know,

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.400
<v Speaker 2>big things on Philly and that's where he's supposed to be.

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 2>That's just you know, you gotta you gotta trust you know,

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:56.040
<v Speaker 2>God and your journey, and you know, wherever opportunities are

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.400
<v Speaker 2>you you got you can't you can't pass up on them. Yeah. Yeah,

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:00.920
<v Speaker 2>can you imagine? And if he's like, you know, I'm

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:05.440
<v Speaker 2>just not going to go to you. No, it just

0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 2>doesn't work out that way. Yeah.

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.320
<v Speaker 1>I know, your grown men, you for your own past.

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Maybe one day we'll buy a house together.

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>There you go, There you go. I was just watching

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the show twin Love, hosted by my friends The Bella Twins.

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:19.400
<v Speaker 1>But it's like a whole thing on how like twins

0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of operate in their relationships outside of each other.

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:28.160
<v Speaker 1>It's it is a whole thing. Renee All Day is

<v Speaker 2>through a game like that again. You guys should just

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 2>you know, finish it earlier. I'm like, you know, that's

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:30.960
<v Speaker 2>just how these NFL games go. Man.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they don't talk to me about Draft Day. That

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>was obviously a really emotional day for you. I saw

0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:43.880

<v Speaker 2>on day two, and I mean, he we kind of

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:56.440

0:08:06.240 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 2>And next thing I know, I mean, there's news cruise,

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 2>there's probably like two hundred people at this draft party.

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:13.560
<v Speaker 1>And you guys in London for this.

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we were back home and he gets drafted. I

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 2>don't get drafted that night. I'm like, you know, I

0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 2>just saw him get drafted. He knows where he's going,

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.240
<v Speaker 2>and he's all excited and like, man, like, you know,

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm pumped up for you, but I don't know where

0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 2>I'm going yet. So what was that.

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>Drive home like for you to know where your brother

0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>was going and you're kind of waiting there with the

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:36.120
<v Speaker 1>dot dot dot Yeah you're gonna do it?

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:40.680
<v Speaker 2>Was I mean just mixed emotions. Just that's probably the

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:44.320
<v Speaker 2>most stress I've ever been becaues. I mean, you know,

0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.720
<v Speaker 2>I see the fourth round go by, fifth round comes up,

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:49.400
<v Speaker 2>and I mean, we're getting to the end of the fifth,

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 2>fifth round, so I'm like, oh my gosh, like where

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:57.560
<v Speaker 2>am I gonna end up? And then eventually I see

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 2>pop up and it's I went they didn't say Cincinnati,

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.400
<v Speaker 2>but it's at Ohio. Okay, I'm like, Ohio, who is?

0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:08.520
<v Speaker 2>And then it's coach Zach and I just I didn't

0:09:08.520 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 2>even I just I mean you see the video. Yeah,

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:12.960
<v Speaker 2>I was crying like a baby.

0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's so cool when moments like that can happen

0:09:16.960 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>and just be like totally vulnerable to the work you've

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.760
<v Speaker 1>put in to landing where you're supposed to land. You

0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 1>and your brother both go like crazy.

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:28.440
<v Speaker 2>No, definitely a cool moment. I'll never forget that. Yeah,

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 2>it's like all this stress built up, you don't feel

0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 2>like your foreheads about to hit the floor, and the

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.959
<v Speaker 2>next thing you know, it's all gone. Yeah, you're excited

0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:39.640
<v Speaker 2>with this opportunity and just making the most.

0:09:39.440 --> 0:09:42.120
<v Speaker 1>Of it, so everything settles in. You know where you're going.

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>Now you can kind of understand I'm going to the Bengals.

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.080
<v Speaker 1>What did that mean to you to realize that this

0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:48.559
<v Speaker 1>is a team that you were going to go play for.

0:09:48.760 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean championship caliber team, you know, superstars and walk. Yeah,

0:09:55.640 --> 0:09:58.560
<v Speaker 2>so many good players, so many guys to i mean

0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:02.240
<v Speaker 2>learn from. So as a young player getting their feet

0:10:02.240 --> 0:10:04.080
<v Speaker 2>wet in the NFL. So I was I was mainly

0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 2>excited about that, you know, getting to work with Coach

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:12.840
<v Speaker 2>Hill and coach Cali and just start this NFL journey.

0:10:12.840 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 2>That's what I was really excited about originally. And then

0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.680
<v Speaker 2>you know that turns into you know, meeting new guys

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 2>in the locker room and you're making new friends, I

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.400
<v Speaker 2>mean moving to a new apartment. So yeah, there's so

0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 2>much that, so much change and transition that happens.

0:10:29.080 --> 0:10:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Life's happening life, Yeah, so many life things. You talk

0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>about those superstars in the locker room, and there really

0:10:35.800 --> 0:10:39.440
<v Speaker 1>is some like huge notable names on this roster. Who

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 1>were some of those guys that you were able to

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:44.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of observe and learn a little something from.

0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:52.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, obviously, I mean you have Jamar t, Tyler, Joe,

0:10:52.360 --> 0:10:55.839
<v Speaker 2>and then I mean even Mike Thomas, he's been the

0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 2>NFL for yeah. I mean, I don't know. I think

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.640
<v Speaker 2>he's in year twelve or thirteen. He's been in the

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:04.199
<v Speaker 2>NFL forever, and I just I respect that, Yeah, and

0:11:04.440 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm like longevity that. So I'm asking I'm asking him questions.

0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:12.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm kind of observing, you know, the other guys from

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:16.200
<v Speaker 2>you know, a little bit away. I'm not like exactly

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.280
<v Speaker 2>all up in their face or anything, but you know,

0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing how they work, you know, the way they

0:11:21.520 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 2>the way they practice, what they do after practice. And

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.960
<v Speaker 2>I kind of added some of those things in final routine,

0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:29.400
<v Speaker 2>just you know, just by observing.

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>So, you guys have a really tight rookie group this year.

0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>What is that about? It seems like I just keep

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.880
<v Speaker 1>hearing the buzz about how tight you guys all are.

0:11:40.480 --> 0:11:43.600
<v Speaker 2>It was all the rookie success meetings we have like that,

0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:47.320
<v Speaker 2>but a lot of us actually worked out together pre draft.

0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:51.079
<v Speaker 2>Like I compete against Charlie all the way through college

0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.680
<v Speaker 2>pretty much, and I didn't like him until until I

0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 2>get here. But it's just he's a you know, I

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.080
<v Speaker 2>played against them at Iowa and then against them at Purdue,

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.920
<v Speaker 2>and then Yeah, I knew Andre from the Senior Bowl

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:09.079
<v Speaker 2>trained with DJ and Fort Lauderdale. I think Jordan might

0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 2>have been there. I don't know. I think Battle is

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 2>that I don't remember. Yeah, maybe he went to maybe

0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:14.319
<v Speaker 2>he was there for like two days and then went

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 2>to Exos or something. But yeah, I kind of met

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.920
<v Speaker 2>everybody throughout the draft process before, so I knew. Maybe

0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:22.559
<v Speaker 2>that's why everybody's kind of close. Everybody kind of knew

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.359
<v Speaker 2>each other one way or had some sort of connections.

0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yes, it wasn't like totally.

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.280
<v Speaker 2>It's not like everybody's brand new. It's okay, like I

0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:33.040
<v Speaker 2>know you and then you know, it's just you just

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:34.120
<v Speaker 2>meshed better that way.

0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk about this chip on your shoulder

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.720
<v Speaker 1>because I feel like you must have one. I mean,

0:12:38.760 --> 0:12:41.320
<v Speaker 1>I've seen it from in terms of you know, the

0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>draft and how that all went down, and in my

0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:47.200
<v Speaker 1>research of getting ready for this interview, it seems like

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:51.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people keep going, wow, you're really fast,

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.439
<v Speaker 1>and You're like, yeah.

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:55.839
<v Speaker 2>A little bit, I can move a little bit.

0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 1>Does it shock you that people are sort of seeing

0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.720
<v Speaker 1>you in that light of going wow the table?

0:13:02.880 --> 0:13:07.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, maybe a little bit. I mean, if you

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:11.160
<v Speaker 2>watch my film I Hit twenty two in college. Yeah,

0:13:11.400 --> 0:13:15.320
<v Speaker 2>like twenty two I don't know, twenty two five. Let's

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.319
<v Speaker 2>hit twenty two five. I hit something like that in college,

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:22.559
<v Speaker 2>so I could move and then, I mean maybe they

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.040
<v Speaker 2>just didn't see the tape or think that I could run.

0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.400
<v Speaker 2>I mean I ran a four four to three. Yeah,

0:13:27.600 --> 0:13:30.520
<v Speaker 2>super athletic at the combine. And I think I've always

0:13:30.520 --> 0:13:35.640
<v Speaker 2>just I mean, I felt like I was underestimated in

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 2>the in the pre draft.

0:13:37.520 --> 0:13:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you like that?

0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean I think, you know, coming in as

0:13:42.040 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 2>a fifth round pick. I mean my mindset has never changed.

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:51.920
<v Speaker 2>It's always been to go in and make an impact somehow.

0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:52.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:52.720 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 2>And I mean at first it was special teams and

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:58.560
<v Speaker 2>you know, going as hard as I could, running as

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:05.000
<v Speaker 2>fasts I could down the field after that touchdown like that, yeah,

0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:08.920
<v Speaker 2>I think, Yeah, obviously that turns heads, and scoring and

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:11.840
<v Speaker 2>making big plays turns heads. But I think, you know,

0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.680
<v Speaker 2>consistently doing that is what I want to keep doing.

0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:17.520
<v Speaker 2>I mean, just showing like if you give me space,

0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 2>I can finish these big plays. I can make people miss.

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I can run in between the tackles like you know

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 2>I can. I can do this. You know I can

0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 2>compete at this level yeah. Yeah, So that's just that's

0:14:28.720 --> 0:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>just kind of what I carr on my shoulder week

0:14:31.240 --> 0:14:32.840
<v Speaker 2>to week, And I mean I just want to keep

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:33.400

<v Speaker 1>from this season into next Just experience mainly.

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean that's the only way you can take steps

0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:46.120
<v Speaker 2>forward in this league is getting more comfortable on the field,

0:14:47.200 --> 0:14:49.520
<v Speaker 2>you know, pre snap recognition, being a smarter player next

0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:54.400

0:15:19.760 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>Your fashion game is on point. That is a common

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:25.960

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:31.400
<v Speaker 1>notch now that you're here.

0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.520
<v Speaker 2>I had to kick it up a notch. Maybe my

0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:39.000
<v Speaker 2>fashion game from week one or preseason even to I mean, shoot,

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:43.520

<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna get some motivation.

0:15:53.720 --> 0:15:55.720
<v Speaker 1>And then where's that motivation come from? Who are we

0:15:55.800 --> 0:15:58.320
<v Speaker 1>saving on Instagram? What are we looking at for some

0:15:58.360 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 1>good outfit?

0:15:58.920 --> 0:16:03.200

<v Speaker 2>I follow a bunch of fashion people on there and

0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of I mean get my motivation from that, and

0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.600
<v Speaker 2>you know where they're shopping. And I mean I'm trying

0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:27.840
<v Speaker 2>to make it as inexpensive as possible.

0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Sure, that's smart.

0:16:29.280 --> 0:16:32.680
<v Speaker 2>I mean, like still have some pieces that are statements,

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:34.880
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, like a bag or some

0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:35.960
<v Speaker 2>shoes or something like that.

0:16:36.040 --> 0:16:38.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you gotta have a couple of staples.

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but just making sure it works all together.

0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:44.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, yeah, No, that's definitely like the if you buy

0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:47.440
<v Speaker 1>something it's only for one specific thing. That's when you

0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 1>get yourself in a bit of a pickle. You need
