3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: great to hear. Um. Take us back to the moment

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: that you learned you were drafted by the Patriots. What

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: was that like? It was probably one of the biggest,

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: you know, most emotional times in my life that I

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: always remember, you know, for the rest of my life.

8
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 1: You know, it was it was a huge blessing. You know,

9
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: God makes no mistakes, and I was just really really

10
00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 1: happy to share that moment with me and my family,

11
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,639
Speaker 1: you know, and like I said, at this moment, I'll

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: tell my grandkids about and you know, I'll never forget it.

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm very blessed. Can you describe, Trey, what your mindset

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 1: was as the draft was sort of at that point

15
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: and what was going through your mind at that time.

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 1: You know, at the time, I was just you know,

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: watching the draft. I was kind of see, you know,

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: what teams took, you know, what players, and you know,

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 1: in the back of my head, I was gonna kind

20
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: of make you know, where would I would go if

21
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: it came to free agency. You know, That's kind of

22
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: where my mind was heading. And you know, I saw

23
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots on the clock. You know, I got the

24
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,199
Speaker 1: phone call, and you know, like I said, at a moment,

25
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: I'll never forget. You know, it's it's the ultimate blessing,

26
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, and I give God all the glory. And

27
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: when when you see the Patriots on the clock, was

28
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: there anything that contact that you had had with them

29
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: that made you think that might be a possibility for

30
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: you to be coming to the Patriots? You know, at

31
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: that time, I really had no clue. You know, we're

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: lad into the draft. You know, anything can happen. You

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: know a lot of people that you know were projected high,

34
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: you know, even slipped to the later rounds. So at

35
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: that point, I really had no idea. You know, I

36
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 1: had a couple of talks with the Patriots, of course,

37
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 1: and you know I had a good feeling about them,

38
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: but you know, at that point in the draft, you know,

39
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: I really had no clue. So ultimately, you know, A

40
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: caught me box surprising, you know, the huge blessing man.

41
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: And then my last one trade is um, how would

42
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: you describe your style of play? You know, I feel

43
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: like I'm a very you know, versutar receiver. You know,

44
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: I'm just ready to get to the Patriot you know,

45
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: putting my head down to word, you know, meet all

46
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: my teammates and you know, you know, fit into that culture.

47
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: You know, I'm ready for it. Thanks Tray, Thank you.

48
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: Our next question is Zach Cox, and we'll ask anybody

49
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: else that has a question to raise the hand for head. Zach. Hey, Trey, congratulations. Uh.

50
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: Mike touched on on my question a little bit. I

51
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: was just gonna ask what kind of contact you had

52
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: with the Patriots going into the draft and what those

53
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: conversations were. Like, Yes, sir, so you know I did

54
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: have contact, you know, with with Mike Lobardi, the receiver coach, um,

55
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, just on a couple of zoom calls, and

56
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: you know those calls really just you know the basic

57
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, just watching some film, you know, talking some ball,

58
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, getting to know each other. And you know,

59
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: like I said, that was a contact I had prior

60
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: to draft, so you know, leading up to it, and

61
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,639
Speaker 1: I just really was just focused on you know, anything

62
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: can happen at that moment. So I was just blessed

63
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: to being a position I am. And just one last

64
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 1: quick one for me when it comes to your playing style,

65
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 1: is there anyone that you've you've modeled your game after,

66
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 1: or any receivers that you particularly like to watch. You know,

67
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: I'd like to watch, you know abroad. You know a

68
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 1: lot of receivers. I feel like, you know, I could

69
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: pick up a lot of things from many different guys

70
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: like you know, Doug Baldwin, you know Adam Feeling, you

71
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 1: know DeAndre Hopkins, DeVante Adams. I'd like to watch a

72
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: lot of receivers, just because you could always find something

73
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: that you can implement to your game, whether it's the release,

74
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 1: you know, how you run a certain route, you know,

75
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 1: a certain way they called the ball, or certain drill. So,

76
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, I just love watching film and watching, you know,

77
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 1: being a sponge to you know, the game of football.

78
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: You could always learn and learn more. Awesome, Thank you,

Speaker 1: know you suffer an injury like you did um Obviously

104
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,480
