1 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:09,000 Speaker 1: I'm doing good though, it's sir, for sure, more opportunity 2 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: the last couple of days with some injuries and running. 3 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,760 Speaker 1: How do you feel the last couple of days, Well, 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 1: the last couple of days has been going great. I 5 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 1: just been prepared every day whenever it was my time 6 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: for me to shine. Yesterday it was one of those 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: days for me. And I always tell myself be ready 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: when when that moment come, because when you get those moments, 9 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, you don't want to look 10 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: back and say I wish I did this and I 11 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: wish I did that. So with that opportunity I had, 12 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: I made the most of it. Like walking off the field, right, 13 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,480 Speaker 1: it felt great. Man, just just coming off the field, 14 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:43,199 Speaker 1: three touchdowns, just hearing it from my teammates. I appreciate 15 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: them the most because that's that's gonna that's that's gonna 16 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: keep me going throughout the season. On the day like 17 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: that confidence, I mean, it boosts my confidence. But not 18 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,840 Speaker 1: only that, like I said to him, just just being 19 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: ready for that moment. So every day, you know what 20 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: I'm saying, I couldn't practice. I work hard at everything 21 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: that I do. So like I say, when that moment 22 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 1: do come. You know what I'm saying, I'm ready to shine, 23 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: and it does build confidence, but the day is previous 24 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: to that. That's how I build my confidence. What's that 25 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: room like over the question of suburb with a couple 26 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: of veterans. Oh, it's great, just having two vets in 27 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: the room, just learning from them. Guys. They always give 28 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: me feedback on little things, and I think the little 29 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: things is what helped me succeed. Your ability great with 30 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: the ball in your hands. How do you work on 31 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: that in these practices where guys can't tackle, you maybe 32 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 1: can't be as physical game. I mean that's really tough. 33 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: That really just come in game, just you know what 34 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,640 Speaker 1: I'm saying, just seeing whatever the defense give me and 35 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: just taking you know what I'm saying, making making the 36 00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 1: play on the ball, whether that's being a play maker 37 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: after I catch the ball, So that that also comes 38 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: from you know what I'm saying, my training, my piperation 39 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: for that, just you know what I'm saying, being athletic. 40 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: What's it like getting to know Drake your impressions of them, 41 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: It's been great when I first came in, when we 42 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: first came in as rookies, and we had to sit 43 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: down and we talked about, you know what I'm saying, 44 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: what do we want to be as rookies? And we 45 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: wanted to be the best you know what I'm saying 46 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: group that they ever had, and that's what we're trying 47 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: to do every day. How we could describe whether it's 48 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: the whole rookie experience is like for your maybe even 49 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: what yesterday was like, uh yeah, it's been like you 50 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, I didn't been a freshman in 51 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: high school. I didn't been a freshman in college. It 52 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: just takes me back to those days. But you're just 53 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: on a higher level. A lot of these coaches expect 54 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: more out of you because you're on a higher level 55 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: and going to the sitz side. That's probably one of 56 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: the worst things I ever did. I try to avoid it, 57 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: but I couldn't get the Uh yeah I did. I 58 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: actually scoop the ball up, But that's probably one of 59 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 1: the worst things I ever did. Slotting them up before 60 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: practice hard practice yesterday. That I mean, I wouldn't say 61 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: it was hard because I was able to get a 62 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: second pair of cleat so I was good. What's the 63 00:02:55,160 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: hardest part of this Uh, just just managing your time, 64 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: knowing knowing what you need to do, you know what 65 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying, whether you need to back away from ball 66 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: or you need to attack it. So just you know 67 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, being able to manage their time. That's 68 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: one of the things that a whole rood team. Let's 69 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: talking about these the other days. And there's no scholarship, kids, 70 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: that's the best way that you can difference playing tale 71 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: Like everyone's right, I agree with that. It's a business here. 72 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: There's no scholarships. Like you said, I mean, it's a business. 73 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 1: So you gotta be able to make this team. At 74 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: the end of the day, only fifty three people could 75 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 1: be on that roster, So you got to grind every 76 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: day and show the coaches what you're about to be 77 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: able to make the same Jamie, what should we know 78 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: about your game? As a lot? I like I've been 79 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: saying when I was in college, and every time I 80 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 1: got that question, then I think I'm getting better, you 81 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Every day, you know, I think 82 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 1: it's starting to show, and I just want to continue 83 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: to get better with that because I mean a lot 84 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: of people know what I do with the ball, in 85 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 1: my hands. So that's just another attribute. I want to 86 00:03:54,040 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: ask my game and get better experience. Why should I 87 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: feel like we shouldn't be overlooked because I feel like 88 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: we bring bring a lot to this team, speaking for 89 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: the rookie class, like our quarterback, you know what I'm saying, 90 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: He was one of the first guys chose here, and 91 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,919 Speaker 1: we got Jon, got Pope, we got myself, and I 92 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: just feel like guys like us can bring explosion to 93 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: this offense. Oh yeah, I think I think that just 94 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: this my journey that I dealt with over the college, 95 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: and you know what I'm saying. Coming here, I was 96 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 1: pretty much learning a new offense almost every year. I 97 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 1: think it makes it easier for me to be able 98 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: to walk into another building and just pick up on 99 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: the offense fast. So I think that's what kind of 100 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: helped me be able to pick on things fast because 101 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: I had no choice because I was learning something new 102 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: almost every year. Thank y'all.
