1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: So, Jordan Wrouping, your your first impressions of the place.

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 1: You know, I thought, I think it's been really nice.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, come here for my visit. You know,

4
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:12,079
Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. Um, you know, talking some of

5
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: the coaches and then just getting back here after signing

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: and meeting some of the guys working out with them.

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: The guys here work really hard, really dedicated, so it's

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: in fun so far. Why did you decide to sign

9
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: with the Patriots? Um, you know, I think probably the

10
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: biggest reason was I knew this was the best opportunity

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: for me to grow as a player. Um. You know,

12
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 1: I had some other teams that you know, contacted me

13
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: that I visited, but I knew just as as a

14
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: player and you know, as a man like I'm recently

15
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: married by then my first child, and you know, I

16
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: don't feel like I'm called to be comfortable, and I

17
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 1: knew this would be a great place for me to grow,

18
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: not only as a player, as a man in general.

19
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm looking forward to getting to know

20
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: the guys and and really getting to work this whole offseason. Congratulations, Thanks,

21
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: thank you. With radiot, No, I haven't talked to him.

22
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: When you're going through the free agency process and going

23
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: on your visits, what stood out about New England? Um,

24
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that um, you know, just

25
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: the just the attitude, Like when I walked into the building,

26
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: I could feel that there wasn't an or of let's

27
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: get let's get better today. You know. I think sometimes

28
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: in the off season it's easy to kind of slip

29
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: into that, you know, kind of monotonous mindset and just saying, Okay,

30
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: we'll just bring people in whatever. But there was a

31
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: lot of intentionality during the visit. They very detailed. Um,

32
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: people are very specific for me on you know, um

33
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: what they thought about me and where areas they even

34
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 1: thought I could grow in. And I appreciated that more

35
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: than anything. I appreciate that type of honesty. And so,

36
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, when I got back to tell you know,

37
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: with SHANEA, we just talked about it and we knew, like, yeah,

38
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: this is definitely the best place. This might be the

39
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: deepest group of receivers in the league. How do you

40
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: view the competition that's about to take place. I think

41
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 1: it's the best thing ever, you know, I think that's

42
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: what really is want to breed, you know, um, greatness

43
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: and and all of us. Um, you know, at the

44
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: end of the day, you know, if you don't have

45
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: that type of competition, I feel like that's the easiest

46
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: way that guys start saying okay, they start doing all

47
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: the Okay, this guy is a rookie, this guy's you know,

48
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: this guy has no production. But I feel like we

49
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: have a group of a lot of guys who are

50
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: not just competitors, but they also have half production the

51
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: league so are proven. So it's not just the okay,

52
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: this guy's potential. You know, there's a lot of production.

53
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: So I think that's a that's one thing to really

54
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: be excited about. But also there's a lot of great guys.

55
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: I've been spend some time around Julian talking to him,

56
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: and so I can't rate way to me the rest

57
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: of them. The numbers kind of dipped a little bit

58
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: last year. And how much was that use health the

59
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: passing game in general. Um, you know, I think, um,

60
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's documented already that you know

61
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: I did. I was dealing with some issues as far

62
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 1: as injuries last year. But um, the good thing is,

63
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,639
Speaker 1: though you know, I appreciate coach with Dermott for let

64
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: me have that time to go get healthy. So now

65
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: that I'm healthy, I'm able to get back to work

66
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 1: and really, you know, get myself back to where I

67
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 1: was before. You know, I know that that's kind of

68
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: a big thing to a lot of people with the

69
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: numbers and the production all that stuff. But for me

70
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: at this point my career, I'm really worried about just

71
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: going out there and being the best player that I

72
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: can be and really something this team win. I really

73
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: want a lot of different quarterbacks. Yeah time every year

74
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: some time just come here with the terback who has

75
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: been around for nineteen years and to have some stability

76
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: at that position. Um, you know, it's cool. It's something

77
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: you know, I'm really excited about. Um. I always joke

78
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 1: with a lot of my quarterbacks. I've had like from

79
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 1: every nationality. I had a black quarterback in Tyrode, I

80
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: had a I think a Native American, and Sam Bradford,

81
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 1: i had a let's see, um, well who else. I

82
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: always tell Carson said, you're the ginger of the group.

83
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: So um so it's it's crazy. I had a bunch

84
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: and then I visited times like Mariotas Hawaiian. It was crazy.

85
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: I met so many. But I guess that shows you

86
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: where the league is going. Um. But you know, um,

87
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: but in all seriousness though, I mean, it's it's got

88
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: it's an hord to be able to play, you know,

89
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: in the offense, you know, like this in general m

90
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: ran By coach McDaniels, and then have a quarterback like

91
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: Tom to be able to learn from and to um

92
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 1: and to just get better with I think some of

93
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: anny wide receivers should be excited about. You've played a

94
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: lot in the slot in your careers where you feel

95
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: most comfortable. Um, I feel comfortable anywhere, honestly. Um. You know,

96
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: when I came into the league, it was just a

97
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: situation where you know, we had two guys that were very,

98
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: very experiencing the outside and Jemmy Mackman and Riley Cooper,

99
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 1: So you know, Coach Kelly really wanted me inside just

100
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: learned and to kind of help guys get situated. And

101
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: so that was a place where I had a lot

102
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 1: of production early on. So that's kind of where I

103
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: just kind of got put for the rest of that time.

104
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: But I mean, I'm confident in both areas, So whatever

105
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: the team wants to use me at, you know I'm

106
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: comfortable with have you see you and Julian coexisting as

107
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: slot receivers in some formations? I think that's too that.

108
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: I'm just way too early for that, you know. I

109
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: mean we were playing Madden, I'd be like, yeah, it

110
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 1: sounds cool both in there. But to talk about real football,

111
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: it's it's too early to kind of get into that.

112
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: Having played in three different offenses in four years, how

113
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: much confidence does that give you to come into a

114
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: new place and adapt and learn the playbook in the offense. Yeah,

115
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: it's definitely, I mean it, it's definitely a challenge because

116
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: once you get back into the playbooks, you know, learning

117
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: all the formation and stuff like that. All that. But um,

118
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, I know, I know I can do it.

119
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: It's not a situation where I'm always like, Okay, I

120
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 1: gotta make sure I know this guy, this different variable

121
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: and all that stuff I'm used to. I mean, I

122
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: went to Buffalo after week one preseason, so I had

123
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: to learn a whole playbook by the next practice. So

124
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: that's not something that really like scares me, something actually

125
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: get excited about. So I'm actually looking forward to it.

126
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: When you had that, what helped you learn the playbooks

127
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: so fast. I don't. I went to Vanderbilt, so I

128
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe I kind of I don't know. My

129
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: mom always tells me I'm smart, so I guess she's right.

130
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: Do you know anybody in the in this locker room?

131
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: Did you have any connection with any guys? Yeah? I know.

132
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: I knew Eric her grow a great, great kid. I

133
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: was with him with the Eagles, hard working guy. Knew

134
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: he was going to come here and do well. Um.

135
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: Trey Flowers, I grew up with Trey Flowers. We actually

136
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: played high school football against each other. My team always won. Um,

137
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: and then who else? I want to say that there's

138
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: gotta be somebody else here? Um. Adj Wise, both of

139
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: our dads actually played the same fraternity back at Jackson

140
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: State University, and we're both Frad Brugs. He players in

141
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: arkansasin and I played as to Vanderbilt. So I know

142
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: a couple of guys. But I think that's the most

143
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: off time of head. Was it logistically a no brainer

144
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: for you to stay here to who you don't? Technically

145
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: you have to be here until my day? Uh? I

146
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: mean yeah, I mean I've always kind of been the

147
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: type to want to get rolling you know wherever I'm

148
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: going to be, you know, um kind of just kind

149
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 1: of get my footing a little bit. Like I said,

150
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: just coming here and working out with the strength staff

151
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 1: and getting to know some of the guys. I think

152
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: that's going to help that transition over in the next week.

153
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: So my head is just not spinning with all this

154
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: all sort of stuff. I actually can get on some

155
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: type of you know, some type of schedule, and then

156
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: once we start with the whole team, I think it'll

157
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: be a lot easier. Are you feeling at this point? Yeah?

158
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: I feel great. Yeah, I feel good. And are you

159
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: gonna be wearing number eighty? Is that? Yeah? Eighty? Yeah? Yeah?

160
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 1: I Actually I talked to Danny, that's my guy. I did.

161
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: I knew Danny. Yeah. I met Danny at a Sam

162
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 1: Bradford's wedding and so I was the other one and

163
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: so I talked to Danny about it. He said I

164
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: could have it. So I got a lot of respect

165
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: for his game. To the production of the slot receivers

166
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: and the best in New England. Did that influence your

167
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: decision at all? Not really, like I already said, I

168
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: mean pretty much. While I mean every team that you

169
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: know talked to me, was like, hey, you know, we

170
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: could put you here, get help, you have production, but

171
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: it's not what I was really looking for. I want

172
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 1: to go to a place where I could truly grow

173
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 1: and get myself better. You mentioned something early in the

174
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 1: conversation here where I want to check and make sure

175
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: I had this right book. Say you were called on

176
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: not to be comfortable. Yeah, what does that mean? I

177
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: feel like, Okay, So I feel like in my life,

178
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: like my foundation of what I believe in my faith,

179
00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 1: like I believe I'm called not to be comfortable. I

180
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 1: believe that it's so easy for us as people to say, Okay,

181
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: what's the easiest road, and what's the path at least resistance,

182
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: and then we look a bit our lives and we're

183
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 1: eighty years old and we haven't done anything great. And

184
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: so I guess in my life and myself, I'm not

185
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: looking for the easiest route to make myself kind of

186
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: just look great. I want to always do what's going

187
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: to make it harder for me to attain any level

188
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: of success. So that way, you know, anything that I do,

189
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: I feel like has meaning, and then I can kind

190
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: of pour that out on my family. I can influence

191
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: my wife, my future children, and just people around me.

192
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: Is it just the competition that's here in that room

193
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: now that makes you say that this might be kind

194
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 1: of an uncomfortable place, or is it you you've been

195
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: around this team, you guys, I think you had some

196
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: joint practices against the Patriots. You know you're in Buffalo.

197
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: You just have you heard that it's just an uncomfortable place. No,

198
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: I think I think it's more so, like I said,

199
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: played twice when I was in Buffalo, came here in

200
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: practice like you mentioned, and then, like I said, the competition.

201
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: I think the competition and the expectation, both of those

202
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 1: mixed together. I think it's what makes it a place

203
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: that any you know, receiver should be excited to get

204
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: here and work in and try and play in. Following

205
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: up on the Danny m and stuff, what's the connection

206
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: again with you guys? Like you just know his game?

207
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: I mean, no, I meant him at Sam Bradford's wedding,

208
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: so we just we were kicking it. He had a

209
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: great time. He was just a real cool dude, you know,

210
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: gave me a lot of you know, just good tidbits

211
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: and stuff. Um, you know, because going into next year.

212
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be my second year with Sam. He played

213
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 1: with Sam Ali and Saint Louis. So he was just

214
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: telling about some things that Sam really liked, the offense

215
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 1: and everything. So it was good. We had a good

216
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: conversation and then you get the ad and you're like,

217
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 1: I better call him to make sure. Well, No, I

218
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 1: called him before I call him before I got it. Yeah,

219
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 1: I just made shout, you know, because like I said, like, um,

220
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 1: I know what he did. You know here, You know,

221
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that you have to get a number

222
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 1: like retiring all stuff to understand that you need have

223
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: respect for what guy's doing a place like this, and

224
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: especially whether they call him Danny playoff you know what.

225
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 1: I think he earned that nickname. So I just wanted

226
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: to make sure, you know, for him and Hayes, this

227
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 1: is school, you know. He said it was. I didn't

228
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: want to try to swing a deal for eighty seven.

229
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: I think somebody's wearing that, you know. So, um, I

230
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: was like, okay, I can't. Whoever has that, I could

231
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: probably fight him without hurt. It is big. I don't

232
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: worry about it. You have what's a typical day like

233
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 1: for you while you're here a typical day or right now. Okay,

242
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: seeing some of the calls, seeing some of the formations,

243
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: just learning a little bit, and then just go lift

244
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,800

245
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 1: I mean, you can't beat free food. So I usually

246
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: tell myself, I stay for all the meals. It's pretty

247
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 1: good amount of hours I put into the day. So

248
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: that's why I usually trying to do right. Yeah, and

249
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: you're a leader to Jerry Rice, Yeah, you talk to

250
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: him about obviously what you're doing now with just the sports. Yeah.

251
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: I talked to Jerry Moore. I was coming out as

252
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: far as like and I'm like, you know, twenty twenty one,

253
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 1: you know, I was, I was wet behind the ears

254
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,599
Speaker 1: and really know anything, and so I really want some

255
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: advice coming to you know, coming to the league. You know,

256
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,680
Speaker 1: but I meant this point, it's just like okay, like

257
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm almost twenty six. Can't be a grown man calling

258
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: on the grown man the other day. So you know,

259
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 1: if anything, just like hey, how are you doing here

260
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: and there? But it's nothing more than that play in

261
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: the eighty field when I was killed. Yes, first, that

262
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: was the first number I ever wore playing football, was

263
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 1: number eighty. I wore eighty, and um, I guess my

264
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: brother was a trader, but he was more in Saint Louis.

265
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: His fairy player was Marshall falk So not Jerry, but

266
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: he wore twenty eight, and so that those who are numbers.

267
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's kind of why I want to go

268
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: back to that you were coming out of Vanderbilts. Any

269
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: contact or random anyone on the Patriots pre draft? Um?

270
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: I did? I. I know, I met one of the

271
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 1: guys the Senior Bowl, but like there's there's so much

272
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: stuff going on there, I mean, meet with everybody, and

273
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 1: so I can't even really recall. So yeah, a couple

274
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,839
Speaker 1: of final questions, Spencer, do you remember playing here in

275
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: college when you were with him, bro, I jumped over

276
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: somebody dirty. It's dirty. I got him bad. Yeah. Yeah,

277
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: we were playing U Mass Bull. It's crazy, yo, because

278
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: we were almost gotta beat that game, okay, because coach Franklin,

279
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: he was like big on if we didn't win, like

280
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: we couldn't go out and hang out that night. And

281
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: I mean we were Vanderbilt, so we weren't. We were

282
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: going out like you know what I mean. So it

283
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: wasn't too good at first. Then we started winning at

284
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 1: the latter part of James Franklin's career there. But I

285
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: guess we played U mass early in the day, so

286
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: we had all these young freshmen that we were trusting

287
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: to play, all these sophomores that we need to come

288
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: up big for us, and it was an earth the game.

289
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: So like we're gonna win this game versus you mask

290
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be able to fly back. It's gonna

291
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: be like three o'clock because y'all Eastern time. We have

292
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 1: a great time in Bandonbilt. We almost lost. We was

293
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: like halftime, it was like tied up, like your tripping.

294
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: We came out. I jumped over a dude. We won.

295
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: It was great, I know, right, y'all. A good team.

296
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,440
Speaker 1: Good team to add a tight end back then, that

297
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: was that was really good. Had a taj Shark receiver.

298
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: Yeah I was. I was running roused him a couple

299
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 1: of weeks ago. He's a good kids, a good player.

300
00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 1: They're actually a great team. You went there, I mean

301
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: you said that was too much like shift team and

302
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: you had to you had to touch down in that

303
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: fifteen game with the Eagles, right yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

304
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: it's a good game. It was that that was a

305
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: crazy one. That was a crazy one. We need we
