1
00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Today it was great, and I'm excited to be out

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: here back playing ball, you know, making it to the

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 1: next levels everything I ever dreamed though, So ready to

4
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: keep moving forward.

5
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: How's the adjustment? Guy, say, speed's little different, but just

6
00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 2: how is the adjusted It's.

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 3: Been good so far. I mean, you know, I feel

8
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 3: like I'm doing a pretty good job keeping up right

9
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 3: now and looking to get better each day. That's all

10
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 3: that matters. That's your question. Great, great coach. I mean

11
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 3: I love him.

12
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: I love his personality, love the way you know he

13
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: teaches us, and the philosophies that he's been giving us

14
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: so far. I think I think me and him will

15
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: do you know, a great job to.

16
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: Get it a little bit like a great tackle.

17
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 4: A little bit is that something like they've told you.

18
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: I don't know one hundred percent, I'll probably be moving everywhere,

19
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: but you know today too, so looking to see where

20
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: it goes from there? Where's that as a rookie might

21
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: be playing a little tackle, might be playing a little guard,

22
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 1: And how do you handle I mean either way, I

23
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: like to know everything position on the line, like what

24
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: each roll is, no matter what's going on. So I mean,

25
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: being able to play all positions would be better for

26
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: myself at tackle and or at guard at center. Just

27
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: being able to know everything, you know what everybody's doing.

28
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: If you do, I wouldn't say's too stressful.

29
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: You met with teams throughout the draft process. What was

30
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 3: kind of did you hear consensus? How people viewed you? Like,

31
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 3: we know you can both. We think your long term

32
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: gard you think you're long term tackling. I feel like

33
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 3: I heard a good amount of both.

34
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: I mean some teams ask me if I a snap

35
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 1: play center, So it was kind of all five. Really

36
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 1: you feel like right tackle is that where you feel

37
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: most comfortable? I feel pretty good. I mean I feel

38
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: like I can succeed. You know, had all five positions

39
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: to be honest, So look.

40
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: You guys, I could play like one side or over

41
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: the other. You it's sort of hard to like flip

42
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 3: and mirror on the other side. All five?

43
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, you see guys like straight Eli show up

44
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 2: you guys, A young player understand the life.

45
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: The Strange Giants. I mean it's crazy. I mean growing

46
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 3: up here in stories about all time with watching them

47
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 3: on TV. I mean you know everything about.

48
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: String Hams all the New York Giant greats. Just if

49
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: you know about football. You know those guys and a

50
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: lot of those guys have came through this building and

51
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: it's just phenomenal to be a part of that.

52
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 2: I know you supposedly gave up the basketball dreams, you know,

53
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 2: you focused on football.

54
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: Is there's still a hooper inside of you that it's around?

55
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: I'd say it's around.

56
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 1: I'm not going to the court every weekend, but I

57
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 1: still about it for sure.

58
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: That's right. Anything else?

59
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 3: Is there?

60
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: Is there a young obviously for an offensive lineman? You know,

61
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,120
Speaker 4: you see guys doing seven on seven and running around

62
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 4: having some fun.

63
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 3: For an offensive.

64
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: Lineman's you know, the physical challenge is not quite there

65
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 4: yet with this.

66
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: Camp, right you agree with that?

67
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: And is it more like, you know, figuring things out.

68
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: And then waiting. I'd say it's more mental for sure.

69
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: Right now, I wouldn't say it's I mean, you're not

70
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: hitting anybody, but we're putting in work, you know what

71
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean. So you're getting ready for when that time

72
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: comes and when it comes time to strike over and

73
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: over again. So yeah, it's good and mental.

74
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 4: And it's far as getting inside and NFL weight room

75
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: and things like that. I mean, you played it a program,

76
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 4: which you know, yeah, big program.

77
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: Big.

78
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: Wait, do you think there's any going to be any

79
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 3: transition for you? What they want, their techniques.

80
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: What their goals are, things like that in the weight

81
00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: room specifically, I'm sure.

82
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 3: I mean I feel like Purdue, you know, coach coach Rowe,

83
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: he did a phenomenal job of teaching his techniques and everything.

84
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: So I feel like I'll be ready to go when

85
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: it comes to lifting and putting up the proper technique.

86
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 1: In your first impression of Jackson, like hopefully you know,

87
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: the hope is that you're helping protect him and black

88
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: form him for many years.

89
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 3: It was it was really cool.

90
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 1: I mean I went to go text him right after

91
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: the draft and there was text messages of him trying

92
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: to want of us texting throughout college and high school. So,

93
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm known him for a good amount of

94
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: time through the through the football football scene. But it's

95
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: great to be, you know, break be his teammate and

96
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,119
Speaker 1: get to know them better.

97
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 3: Why the first week.

Speaker 1: way around.

00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, but you never actually had the opportunity to

103
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 3: meet him before. No, none in person, but no one visually.

104
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: Did you remember that or is it very surprised that

105
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: I forgot. The first thing he said to me was like,

106
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 3: it's crazy how things work out. So yeah, we remember.

107
