You know 79 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: that everybody's different, everybody's wired different. He's just having to 80 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: be one of more intense coaches I've ever uh, I've 81 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: ever communicated with. But I've never heard a bad thing 82 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: about Greg Williams. I know players that played under him, 83 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: and they all have positive things to say. I actually 84 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: reached out to him first. I called him. Uh, Joe 85 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: Duglas tiving Gates called me, but I called Uh.

I've had success to 103 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: other places, but you know, I still feel like I'm 104 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 1: one of the most slept on safeties in the league. 105 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,599 Speaker 1: I know you've seen my film, but that doesn't that 106 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 1: doesn't do gushes to who I am as like, because 107 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: I'm not only a good player, but I'm a good 108 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: guy in the locker room. You know. I like to 109 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: motivate those people around me.

Actually, on your Instagram post of you, I 134 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 1: think flying to New York right on the private jet, 135 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: the PJ Marcus May comments.

Well, this obviously is, 140 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 1: and you know it was crazy for a lot of reasons. 141 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 1: You know, we don't have a O. T. A. S. 142 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 1: But I mean we were vetting you're going to be 143 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: eighth league if year in the league. You're not really 144 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: worried about that, as it's kind of the time that 145 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,040 Speaker 1: young guys get the rents that they needed, and that's 146 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,040 Speaker 1: when they really take their big jump from year one 147 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:56,960 Speaker 1: of the year two is in that all those rents 148 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 1: kind of add up, you know. But um, I I 149 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: didn't take that time off from I want to say 150 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: April to June. I've been down in Texas. I've been 151 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: doing two days for three months now in Texas heat. 152 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: I'm in some of the best shape I've been in, 153 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,120 Speaker 1: and um you know, I'm hungry. I've been hungry. I 154 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: all want to go prove myself, no matter how good 155 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: I had over a year I had before, or what what, 156 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: how far, how far we got in the playoffs, and 157 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: that none of that matter. It's a fresh star, fresh 158 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: opportunity to just go prove yourself because what you did 159 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: last year don't matter. Where you were at last year 160 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: don't matter. None of that can save you. Is about 161 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: the work that you put in. I'm probably as healthy 162 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: as I've ever been, and I used the time really 163 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,600 Speaker 1: just focused on my body, on my mind and uh 164 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: get it best shape as I can get, and and 165 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: just tighten up all my skills. You know, I go 166 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: back in ourselves, gout myself like coaches do. And I 167 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: know I had things to work on, and I feel 168 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: like I used that time to really work on that. 169 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: I was out there with a great group of guys 170 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: to train with Chris Harris. Um he's a KU guy 171 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: in mind. We got a great trainer out there. It's 172 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: a bunch of guys. You know, we're doing seven on 173 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: seven every day. Uh, we're finding ways to still played football, 174 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 1: you know, while following the rules. And we were you 175 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 1: know safe about how we lived in in in social 176 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 1: distance and all those things. But it will still work 177 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 1: to be done. And uh we got creative with it 178 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: and we still were able to get a lot of 179 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: work in. So UH didn't I didn't really use that 180 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: time as an excuse to take off or or not 181 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: be focused. So um, it was a different offseason. But 182 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: it was a different offseason a positive. You know, you 183 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: just had to do a lot of work from home. 184 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: And that's where I feel like this is gonna be 185 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 1: a year like the lockout year. You're gonna you don't 186 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 1: really see who was a true pro and who really 187 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: put the work in and who didn't. What do you 188 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: think about coming into a system where Greg Williams likes 189 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 1: to have his safeties as interchangeable parts, because I know 190 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: in Seattle, Yeah, you're comfortable playing in the box, but 191 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: you'll go back and play single high. Sometimes they use 192 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: the nickel. It seems like your versatility is gonna be 193 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: a good fit here. I feel like, UH one of 194 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,080 Speaker 1: my I feel like that's one of my strongest suits. 195 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,920 Speaker 1: You know, when I when I first was getting into 196 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: a league, a coach told me, if you a one position, 197 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: you might make the team, but if you could play 198 00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: multiple positions and find success of these different positions, you're 199 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,600 Speaker 1: going to make the team. And I always pride in myself. 200 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: You know, I was a wide receiver before I did 201 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: two years of UH wide receiver in college and I 202 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: only play safety for two years. I played both ways 203 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: my freshman year, but you know, I bounced around so uh. 204 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: Being an athlete was always one of my strong suits 205 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 1: and that hasn't changed. And then at this point in 206 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 1: my career, I used my mind a lot more than 207 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: I ever have. And that makes you play a lot 208 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: faster than you ever could think of, because you could 209 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: be a hell of an athlete. You are out there 210 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:34,959 Speaker 1: and running four or three, but if you don't know 211 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: what you're doing, you're gonna look like a four or five, 212 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 1: four or six guys. So it's all about knowing your playbook. 213 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: No one really supposed to but be and not only 214 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: know when you're supposed to be, but the guys around 215 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: you that make you move even better. If I know 216 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 1: this guy is going to water this guy on the inside, 217 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: where I could play stronger on this side, you know 218 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 1: what I mean. It's it's a bunch of small things. 219 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 1: It really all works together, and when you see the 220 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,200 Speaker 1: bigger picture of defenses and how it was really put together, 221 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: you know that's gonna make you a better And one 222 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: of greg one of the first things he told me is, 223 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 1: you know I lined guys up to their strengths. You know, 224 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna find a way if a guy has a 225 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 1: certain skill set, I'm gonna find a way to line 226 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: him up and he could be as successful as possible. 227 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: So that was refreshing to here and knowing that he 228 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: had that mindset and he was able to do that 229 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 1: for players and his statue sos. I know a lot 230 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: of guys that played for him and came in and 231 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 1: had success, and I plan to do the same thing. Bradley. 232 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: Off the fields, what do you like to do in 233 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: your free time? I know you talked about it a 234 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: little bit before. You're pretty laid back guy. But what 235 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 1: what do you do if you have a day to yourself? Oh?

He's he's wondering where I'm at. Told him 247 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: I do there like a week ago. But thinks I 248 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: abandoned him. But I gotta get him out here. That 249 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: will bring me a lot of comfort. But no, I'd 250 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 1: just like to hang out. I like to cook. I 251 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 1: said that earlier. Cooking is in my one of my interests. 252 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: I really enjoy cooking. Um, thinking about own the restaurant 253 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: one day. But besides that, I'm not really a video 254 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 1: game guy. I like to watch film. I actually like 255 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 1: to be a student of the game. I get some 256 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: time off. I like to take that time, especially during 257 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: the season, and just take care of my body, whether 258 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: that's stretching or have somebody stretching me getting massages. I 259 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 1: just like to take that time off and just reset. 260 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,600 Speaker 1: I'm a I'm a hell of a conversationalist. I love 261 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: to be around people, but I feel like, you know, 262 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: that wears you out, and I get I get a 263 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 1: little time to myself, and I just used it to 264 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:49,680 Speaker 1: refresh and recharge myself. You know, I've been cooking quite 265 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: a bit this off season two. I'm a big fan 266 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: of Hello Fresh, and they tell you how to put 267 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 1: it all together. I've been doing a good job. But 268 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: enough about me. Let's keep on talking about Bradley. Um, 269 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 1: what's up with the Twitter handle at Baby League? I 270 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: know there's a good story behind that. And then my 271 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: second part, let's stay and talk about the family. What 272 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 1: did you do with your grandmother's house this offseason? Well, 273 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: the Baby League, it's actually no story. My older brother 274 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 1: he had. It's actually when Twitter first started, I told me, 275 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: I promised myself I never made a Twitter like why 276 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 1: do I want to read with somebody else's random thoughts 277 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: are like this. So one day we were sitting around 278 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: and uh, my brother's handle was Youngly and I don't 279 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 1: even know where he got that from. And uh somebody 280 00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: was like, bro, you might we'll just make one too, 281 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: you could be baby League, and we all just thought 282 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: that was so funny. So I just ended up making 283 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 1: it and it stuck, you know. And then I also, 284 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: I wasn't trying to get a Twitter hand we become 285 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: famous or easily found. So I'm like, oh, man, I 286 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: really never had a nickname, so but you can call 287 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: me be Mac though. Be mact is my new nickname, 288 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 1: but um yeah, I never really had a nick game, 289 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: so I just kind of went with it, and it's stuff. 290 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 1: You know. I was in college. I was still with nobody, 291 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: and then I get verified. It's like, who is Baby League, 292 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 1: and so it's kind of it's kind of how that happened. 293 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 1: But uh yeah, this off season, I made one of 294 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 1: the biggest persons is best persons in my life, remodeled 295 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 1: my uh uh, totally renovated my grandma's house from top 296 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 1: to bottom. It was one of the biggest blesses I did. 297 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: And uh the reason I did it because, uh, I 298 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 1: grew up in a single parent home and uh so 299 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: I spent a lot of time over my grandparents house 300 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: when they when my mom had to work, and the 301 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 1: weekend summers. You know, I was over there a lot. 302 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: And my grandfather passed when I was in the eighth grade, 303 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: going into ninth grade, and so the house, you know, 304 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: at the time, when I was young kids, one of 305 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: the nicest thing in our family was kind of like 306 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: the pillar. It was like our temple. You know. Everybody 307 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 1: used to come over there and do Eastern dinners or 308 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving or Christmas even if you will. And then, uh, 309 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 1: you know, over the years, my grandma, you know, she's 310 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:57,920 Speaker 1: strong as she is, but uh, the house just started 311 00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: to you know, take the toes a lot for a 312 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: woman and endo and she still taking care of other 313 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: people around her. H She just retired not too long ago. 314 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 1: So I just thought it would be a great present 315 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: to give her. And plus she's getting older. She still 316 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 1: had my grandpa with this what he thought was so cool. 317 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 1: It's hot tub in there, and it was getting hard 318 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: to the point it was hard for her to step 319 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: over into the into the bathtub and one of my 320 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 1: worst fears where her just slipping the bathsup or something 321 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: crazy like that. So um, yeah, from top to bottom, 322 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: I just made it as nice as possible for and uh, 323 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: it really turned out great. You know, the really tears 324 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: and the contracts that they did a great job. They 325 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: they surpassed anything I thought it could look like. And 326 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: she loves it. I had and and the funniest part 327 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: is so it took about two months and all this 328 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: was during the pandemic too, and they got all that 329 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: done two months, which is incredible.

Like they knocked down a couple 333 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: of walls and really just gutted the whole house out, 334 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: and I'm like, so I kind of wanted her to 335 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,880 Speaker 1: get comfortable to where I feel like to living in 336 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 1: a new house. And She's like, I don't know about this, baby, 337 00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: I kind of just want to go back to my house. 338 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 1: And so you know a lot of people they want 339 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: to be in their house and they want to be 340 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 1: if I'm like Grandma, you got a little finished. Like, 341 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: don't like, just be patient, grandma, You're getting a whole 342 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: new house.

But like a week later, 345 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: I'm like, how does it feel? She said, I don't. 346 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, baby, this this still how does it 347 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: feel like one of those being bees?
