So 67 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,679 Speaker 3: it was a great experience. I'm very thankful for it, 68 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 3: and it definitely is where my you know, passion and 69 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 3: stuff for football started. 70 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 1: So yeah, no, I remember those days. My brother would 71 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: like run around the track and a trash back. I 72 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: just tweat it all out craziness. It's craziness it's crazy 73 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 1: for those kids. Well, now I also know you were 74 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 1: a Bengals fan as a kid, So how did that happen? 75 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: Did you ever find your way at any Niners games 76 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: than your childhood? 77 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 3: I didn't get to any Niners games I was. I 78 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 3: was a Bengals fan because I was born in Cincinnati 79 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 3: and we actually moved out to uh to Low Scottos 80 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: when I was about, you know, five or six years old, 81 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 3: So that's why I was a Bengals fan. I think 82 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 3: I also, you know, just liked to root for the 83 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,519 Speaker 3: Bengals because it was you know, it's different from everyone 84 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 3: around me and stuff like that. But yeah, I've kind 85 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,679 Speaker 3: of decided recently, you know, I've I've spent enough time 86 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: in the barrier. I've played for the Niners for three years, 87 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 3: it's probably probably time to start being in a you know, 88 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: barrier sports fan. So yeah, that's kind of where that 89 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 3: all originated from. 90 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it.

What's the hardest part about being 367 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 1: a tight end that people really don't get to see. 368 00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 3: The hardest part about being a tight end I think 369 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 3: it's just the uh, the amount of information that you 370 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 3: need to know in the game plan and just in general, 371 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 3: because you know, you're a part of the past game. 372 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,480 Speaker 3: You're running routes, sometimes you're in past protection with the line, 373 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 3: and then you're obviously blocking in the run game, running 374 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 3: game for the running back. 375 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 2: So there is a lot of a lot of. 376 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: Information that you need to memorize and know, and especially 377 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 3: you know, sometimes we've got two tight ends out there, 378 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 3: one tight end, sometimes we have three tight ends. 379 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of different spots. 380 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 3: That you need to know and I kind of try, 381 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,600 Speaker 3: and I take pride in trying to know all the 382 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 3: spots so you know, if someone goes down, I can 383 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 3: you know, fill in. 384 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, a tight end is such a special position because 385 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: it's like every position wrapped up in one. And I 386 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: can't even imagine, even in Kyle Shanahan's offense, how much 387 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: you need to know to play the game. 388 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 2: It's a lot. 389 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 3: It's a lot, But you know, being here for three 390 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 3: I obviously feel so much more comfortable now than I did, 391 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 3: you know, my first year.
