48
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,280

49
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: you know, way better about myself. Right. Take take us

50
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: back to the beginning, man, when you when you start

51
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: playing football and falling in love with football. Man, Man,

52
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: I really started playing at five, but by time I

53
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: was six, I could actually you know, playing like a

54
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: real like part league, and I started playing, uh flag football.

55
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: I was a tight end when I was younger, like smaller.

56
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: I wasn't never a real big guy. I was always taller, solid,

57
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 1: you know, and I was you know, I was running

58
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: the rock at them when I was little, you know.

59
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: So then it just went on from there, and you know,

60
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: every year I just played, you know, I went the

61
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: Boys and Girls club. They had they wait living and

62
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: I was just like five pounds over, you know, the

63
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: way living to be like a running back or something.

64
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: So I played defense a lot, and I was really

65
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: like offense because I didn't want to block nobody. I

66
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: wanted to even had the ball in my hands, you know, no,

67
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, just putting the fen on the game besides blocking.

68
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: So I think that's where my love from defense came.

69
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: And as we went on with the middle school. Yeah,

70
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: I was a fullback in middle school. You running that.

71
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: I was running through everybody. I was a fullback in

72
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: defense in the middle school. Then I lived from my

73
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: other middle school, went to another middle school, and then

74
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 1: I played tight en d n once again. When I

75
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: got to high school. My freshman yea, I was like

76
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: probably like five living like to foot, like two twenty

77
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: five as a freshman. As a freshman, ba, I wasn't

78
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: big at all. I wasn't big. I was like small,

79
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: five way solid, but five way five or eleven two

80
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: twenty five as a freshman, Well, that ain't small, Jay, Yeah,

81
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: I know I was like I was. I was just

82
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: that's just genetics, I guess, right. But where I was

83
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: still playing tight end. Okay, but you know, school I

84
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: went to was pretty small. I believe we've probably been

85
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: a living big a school. Then my coach, my coach,

86
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: I was saying he needed his head in the dirt.

87
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 1: His name was every That's all I used to say.

88
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: But uh, I played tight end for like the most

89
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: start of it. Then that he moved me the offensive line.

90
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,679
Speaker 1: I was playing left tackle, which I hated. I tried

91
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: every bitter way to get off that so game I

92
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: put all my effort on defense. What's some, what's some

93
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: what's some stuff? He tried to do to get off

94
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 1: left tackle, like show up like the practice would job

95
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: not like I mean, I did my job. I just

96
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: let I did, like you know, that's not me. You know,

97
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: I ain't. I never sadvertised myself. Okay, good good, but

98
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: uh yeah. So when the big change happened, it was

99
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: after my freshman up, my well really happened. My granddad

100
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: got killed. Um he got you know here by driver.

101
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: Uh and uh but they're really like, you know, put

102
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: a little dent on our family, hurt our family. So

103
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: I gained fifty pounds. You know, I wasn't a real

104
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: big weight lift than that. So I just gained fifty

105
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: pounds like over that course of that summer, like just nothing.

106
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: No part was the prisson a little bit. But yeah.

107
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: So by this time my sophomore year, I'm like I

108
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: was like six and one put some six two like

110
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: I just gained some weight and uh yeah, that's when

111
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 1: I was just streakly defense. I would play a little

112
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: bit office here and there, but you know it wasn't

113
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: real big mandatory and um fast forward, I don't even

114
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,720
Speaker 1: I don't even to make the stories. No man, we

115
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: no go ahead. The story is good. Fast forward. We

116
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: end up getting the whole new coach and well not

117
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: coached that, but a whole new like strength and conditioning coach.

118
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: The name was Michael Harper because definitely my personal training

119
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: now and he came in and transformed the whole program

120
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: in our bodies. Man like I dropped like fifteen cows fat,

121
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: was rocked up. I was solid as a rock, and

122
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: uh yeah I was moving better. I was. I was

123
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: always pretty fast, like passing good speed, not fast, but

124
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: has some good speed. You know. You know I had

125
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: a good junior season. I was still Yeah, they were

126
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: usually the offense, but they knew like they were, you know,

127
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: it just wasn't my thing playoff but they knew when

128
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: we went on the defenside of the ball, everything was

129
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: shut down, right, and uh that's likely what happened. So no,

130
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: just continue to do that in my and my summer.

131
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,920

200
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,280

00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: try brush just to the side or trying not to

243
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 1: think about her elaborating over too much. I mean, you know,

244
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: the thing about you, my man, is that I look

Speaker 1: Pete Carroll, the fact that they did take you so

327
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: high in the draft and everything, what does that feel

328
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: to know that they elite, that they had the confidence

329
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,600
