1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: Chase. What's your initial reaction to being drafted by the Patriots. Man,

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm speechless. It's just a great honor, and you know,

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm just very lucky. I'm feeling very blessed, surrounded by

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 1: my closest family and friends, and uh, it's a very

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 1: very lucky position. I'man very blessed. Did you have any

6
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: inkling that the Patriots wanted you? It's one of those

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 1: things where it's, uh, you never really know go up

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: through the draft process. Um, you know, I yeah, you

9
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: never you never really know. I guess they go up

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: through the draft process. It's just one of those things where, uh,

11
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: you know, you're new England's a great program and they've

12
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: obviously done some really great things and you're hoping your

13
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: name is called and you know your your phone starts ringing,

14
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, thank god it did. So did

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: you have any pre draft contact with the Patriots and

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: if so, what did that entail? Um? I didn't have

17
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: too many, uh you know, interactions with the Patriots, but

18
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: I did have some. It was it was a relatively

19
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: limited thing, limited capacity. But um, you know, I'd rather

20
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: just just wait to dive into that further until you

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: know I receive further instructions on how much information did

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: you know that the quarterback here played at Michigan I

23
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: have familiar Tom actually came back and spoke to our

24
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: team and came back for a game, and I got you.

25
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: I got the chance to get a really cool picture

26
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: with him shaking his hand, and um, it's just really

27
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: great that he cares about Michigan enough to come back

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 1: and you know, share some wisdom that you know he's

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: been through throughout the years and um, and yeah, I

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: really look up to him, just as you know anybody

31
00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: that's played at Michigan does. It's interesting because he said

32
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: in the past, you know it's and we've observed too.

33
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: The guys come in and they've been watching him play

34
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: all their lives and now their teammates with him. Are

35
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: you gonna have to conquer that a little bit as

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: you get off the plane and walk into the locker

37
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: room and realize, okay, he's my teammate. Now he's not

38
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: a legend. Yeah, the thing is, it's just such an

39
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 1: all uh to be even you know, on the same

40
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: field as him and get to pursue my dreams in

41
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: the NFL. UM, Like I said, it's it's it's true

42
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: their blessing. So, um, I don't know about you know,

43
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: conquering anything. Just the fact that I'm here and they

44
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: chose me, Um, you know says a lot about my position,

45
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 1: and um, so I just I just can't wait to

46
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: get to to New England and get to know the

47
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: coaches have more and the players on the team. What

48
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: do you what role do you see yourself in the NFL?

49
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: Are you a defensive end, are you a linebacker? You know,

50
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: what do you bring to the table and what do

51
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: you see yourself as For me, it's like I've always

52
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: prided myself on being a football player, So wherever the

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: coaches want to put me ultimately, you know, if you

54
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: can look at my history, I played a lot of

55
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: different positions and um that's where the coaches you're going

56
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: to decide whether you know where I sit best and um,

57
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: and so that's that's their, you know, their choice, not mine.

58
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: I'm happy to play anywhere. I just want to get

59
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: on the field and contribute and work hard. Chance for me,

60
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: mostly playing on the same size of the tight end

61
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: or playing on the week's side. In the formation of Michigan,

62
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: I was playing on the week's side. So Rashaan is

63
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: playing in our defense is called the anchor. So typically

64
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: he was to the run strength formation, but a change

65
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: based off of it was past or run um and

66
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 1: so he did, uh you know, he was usually to

67
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: the run strength side and to the tight end. And

68
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 1: but for me, it's like I had two people traded

69
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: especially earlier on trying to test me, and um, so

70
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: it just was, um it was yeah, I played it all. Jeez,

71
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: I hear you once eat a live fish. Can you

72
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: tell me the story there? Um? Yeah, so I once

73
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: ate a live fish. Um. I was really for the

74
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: young kid. I think it was like fifth or sixth grade,

75
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: and I was I was rolling to bear Grylls at

76
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: the time. Um, twenty dollars at that point in my life.

77
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: Was it was a lot of money, and uh so

78
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: I did so now it's I think, you know today

79
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: I might have made a little more than twenty dollars,

80
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: but um yeah, I just I'm just thankful. So at

81
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: the end of the day, um, I ate it and

82
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm never gonna eat one again. But I crossed that

83
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: one off the the things I thought in my life

84
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: for sure. What happened after you ate it didn't settle

85
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: down nice or how things go. Uh now, I kind

86
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: of that's a tough question. I coughed it up and um,

87
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, the blood was was pretty you know, not

88
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 1: good tasting, you could say, Uh, it was not. I

89
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: did get the twenty dollars though, so that it was

90
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: it was a you know, at least worth that I guess.

91
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: But um, the value get the value of dollar. I

92
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 1: definitely learned it in that moment. How did you settle

93
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: on defense because you played tight end and fullback for

94
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 1: a little bit at Michigan. Uh yeah, I actually played

95
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: some running back to in camp and um so, like

96
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: I said, I played it all just going back to

97
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: middle school. And um that's something I definitely tried to

98
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: stress to the you know, to the coaching staff and

99
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 1: the scouts for the Patriots. But um, I ended up

100
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: coming in as an inside backard and I played a

101
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,840
Speaker 1: little bit of Will and Mike and I also played

102
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: some Sam and uh, Coach Hope left and Coach Harble

103
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: came in. Uh we had some injuries and some lack

104
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: of you know, death there and Coach Arble like my

105
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: speed and uh so he switched me over and and uh,

106
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: you know, he's a very intelligent guy and a great

107
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,679
Speaker 1: football coach. So I said, hey, what you know, wherever

108
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: I can get on the field, and um, I dealt

109
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 1: with some injuries and they didn't really get the chance

110
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: to play. But ultimately after that, you know, that season,

111
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: I ended up switching back to defensive end and uh,

112
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: you know, from the jump, it became pretty obvious that

113
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: that was my calling. And uh when as soon as

114
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: coach Brown came in, he he put me as this

115
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: cheetah one, which is like his our coach Brown as

116
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: our defensive coordinator. Um. And that's like the premier pass

117
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: rush position in our defense. And that's something I held for,

118
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: you know, three years of Michigan. So they're not going

119
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: to count on you to replace Rob Gronkowski here in

120
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: New England. UM. I mean, if they asked me, I'll

121
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: give it my best shot. But uh, it's just it's

122
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: just something we'll have to see. Chase, how would you

123
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: describe your style of play? UM? I like to think

124
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: of myself kind of as a drunkyard dog. Just tenacious, um,

125
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: you know, just relent this effort and motor. Um, you know,

126
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: always just scrapping for for every inch. But at the

127
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: same time, I like to think, you know, I'm slippery here,

128
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: as they say in Pittsburgh, slippy. Um, and so I

129
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: think I bring some versatility and um, you know, I

130
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: think my combine was a was an example of some

131
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: of the speed that you know I have, And um,

132
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: when you factor all that in together, I think that

133
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: makes me a you know, a pretty interesting pick and

134
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: prospect and a football player in general. But um, yeah,

135
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to you know, at the end of

136
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: the day, I'm just trying to go out there. I

137
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 1: proved my worth to do the other guys in the

138
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: team and um, ultimately to the rest of the world.

139
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: Chase speak specifically to your special teams background. How much

140
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: do you have and and what was that something that

141
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: might interest you at this level? Um. Yeah, So I've

142
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: played a lot of special teams in my background, and

143
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how far you know back you which

144
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: you consider my background in high school, I played, uh

145
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, during the game. I played every single special

146
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: games offense and defense. Uh. So for me, I just

147
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 1: never wanted to leave the field, and um it's no

148
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: different to this day. I want to contribute in any

149
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: way possible. But at the end of the day, UM's

150
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, that's up to the coaches to decide where

151
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna see where I'm gonna fit best. And I'm

152
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: just going to go in there work as hard as

153
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: I possibly can, and uh and just you know, like

154
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: I said, UM, just work hard. That's what That's what

155
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: it comes out to them. I'm not making any guarantees

156
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: on that. I'm not promising you know, where I'm gonna play.

157
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm not the coach, So that's that's up to them. Jeez,

158
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: what was your impression of the Patriots and Coach Belichick

159
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: going through the process and then how did that impression

160
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 1: change or either be kind of confirmed when you met

161
00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: with them. Yeah, the Patriots, I mean, I feel like

162
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: this is you know, a question trying to get me

163
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: to speak about, you know, I don't. I don't really

164
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: don't know. It's just at the end of the day,

165
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: the Patriots obviously have you know, an amazing legacy, um

166
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: and one that I'm just lucky to be a part of. Um.

167
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: And so it's it's truly an honor to you know,

168
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: just to see there's a video you know, my my

169
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: family reacting to the Patriots picking me, and um, it

170
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 1: just really is a blessing. She's one player. What FRO

171
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 1: players do you watch game film on? And who you

172
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: model your game after? Um, you know, to be honest

173
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 1: that you know, there's a lot of things I try

174
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: to model my game. You know a lot of things

175
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 1: that people, you know, i'd get take motivation from and

176
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: model my game after. But for me, it's just, uh,

177
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm trying to learn from my teammates whenever I get

178
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: to New England and uh, and that that's my first goal.

179
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: It's just I'm not trying to model my game after

180
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 1: any one specific player. I'm trying to just you know,

181
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: get get to New England, find out who you know,

182
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: the veterans are that uh, just you know, get under

183
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,599
Speaker 1: their wing and learn from their leadership and uh to

184
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: the change. You think about some of the pre draft

185
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: scouting reports, I think NFL dot Com said you play

186
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: like you have zombie blood running through your veins. Just

187
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: curious you thought of some of those descriptions. Um, yeah,

188
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: zombie blood running through my veins. I'm really not sure.

189
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: I just um, that's kind of always been my mancha. Um,

190
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: it's just outwork everybody, and that's you know, that's always

191
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: been my goal. And um, obviously at the next level,

192
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, especially with someone like you know, the New

193
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: England Patriots, UM, hard work is a fundamental key component

194
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: and uh, and so they've done a great job I

195
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: think of making that, you know, a cultural thing, and

196
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm just lucky to be a part of it. So

197
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: that's I think that's a big compliment. I you know,

198
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: there's there's not everybody can do that and go as

199
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: hard as I can on every play, and uh, that's

200
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: definitely a bonus for me. Chase, you noted the coaching

201
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: change ship. How would you describe the impact of the

202
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: influence of Don Brown and playing for Jim Harbaugh. Yeah,

203
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: that's two separate questions there. But um, you know, for

204
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: coach Brown, I mean I've called him through otherI today

205
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: and I wanted to make sure it was known that,

206
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, regardless of where I went in the trap, Um,

207
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 1: regardless of where I went in the trap exactly. You know,

208
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 1: how blessed I was to be playing under him, Um,

209
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: and how much I loved him, and just like he's

210
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: always believed in me and I respect that man, you

211
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: know to no end. He Uh, he was he was

212
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: there from the job and recognized my potential from the

213
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: very beginning. Uh, like I said, always believed in me. Um.

214
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: And he's he's one of the smartest people I've ever met. Uh,

215
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: he's just absolutely brilliant. And uh, there's not there's not

216
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: very many people with Penny you know that I really

217
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: have more respect for it. And Uh, the same thing

218
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: goes for Coach Harbell. Uh, it's just it was a

219
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: true honor to play for Coach Harb and Coach Brown. Uh.

220
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: Coach Coach Harbor is also the same thing. He's just

221
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: you know, he's a genius and he's he's a true

222
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: winner in my book. Um, he just he knows how

223
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 1: to get the job done. And UM he's also a friend.

224
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: He's a great resource. And UM, many time I've ever

225
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 1: need seen anything in Michigan, he's been somebody I've been

226
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: able to count on. And Uh. And so I'm just

227
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 1: I've been I've been lucky going back to high school

228
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 1: with my school coach Bill trip back and going to

229
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: college with Coach Hoke and uh, then coach Harble coming

230
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: in and now Coach Belichick. Uh, it just is really

231
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 1: a blessing. Chase. There was a report on NFL. You're

232
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: scattering report saying that you suffered some sort of injury

233
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: like a head injury after a nasty fall when you

234
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,839
Speaker 1: were really young. Did you share us what happened, how

235
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: you learned from that experience. Yeah, I think that was

236
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: a little blown out of proportion. Um. To be honestly,

237
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,440
Speaker 1: you know, I ended up playing football like a couple

238
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,880
Speaker 1: of months later. Uh, And and had no long term

239
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: repercussions from that, never noticed any anything. And uh yeah,

240
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: like I said, it was it was a little exaggerating

241
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: that that story of the NFL dot com put up. Um.

242
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, Um, yeah, like

243
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 1: I said, it was just it was a little it

244
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: was It was really no big deal long term. Um.

245
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: And like I said, I haven't had no long term

246
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: repercussions from it. And um, yes, it's not a concern

247
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: at all. In fact that I almost forgot about it

248
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: until I read an article that said I had that. Um,

249
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,160
Speaker 1: it's just it's such a blur, you know, blimp him,

250
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, small blimp into my life. Yeah, Chase, do

251
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: you have a boxing in jiu jitsu background experience? I

252
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: don't know how to phrase is that that's true. Yeah. Um, yeah,

253
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: So I've done some work in a variety of things.

254
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm I'm you know, I'm currently evolved, doing some yoga

255
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: and um just just trying to expand my horiz and

256
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: um just in terms of you know, bodily movements and

257
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: um there's just a lot to be learned and I'm

258
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: looking forward to the opportunity to be a full time

259
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: pro where I you know, I have the resources to

260
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: uh to really expand you know, just my my abilities

261
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,200

00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: my eyes, I'm just getting started. But um, you know,

264
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: it's a long journey. And like I said, I'm just

265
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to work hard every day and take

266
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: things one step at a time. As the fighting background

267
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: that all helped you in pass rusher and run defense

268
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: with your hand usage and different moves that you can

269
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 1: use because you have that you know kind of background, Yeah,

270
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: it definitely helped me. Um, it's a work in progress,

271
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: you know. Like I said, you know, I think people,

272
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of people that can get

273
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: from placent and UM, I like to be myself as

274
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 1: not one of those people, and I'm always trying to

275
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 1: be a better version of myself. And um, you know,

276
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 1: I never I never want to ever want to beat

277

Speaker 1: I just want to keep getting better and keep working

278
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,120
