Speaker 1: Back on the line. Simmy. I'm sure you're celebrating we
Speaker 1: got you back luckily, but hey, what's this what's this
Speaker 1: moment been like for you? Welcome to the Cowboys, man,
Speaker 1: It's been so surreal. It's just you know it. You know,
Speaker 1: I've been working really hard for this moment in my
Speaker 1: whole life, and you know, I've had a term to
Speaker 1: play at the next level, and you know it's even
Speaker 1: sweeter than I'm playing in Texas. Well, Simmy, we're actually
Speaker 1: we're just talking about things that players as prospects can
Speaker 1: do to make teams want them more. And i'd imagine
Speaker 1: one of those things is special teams. You get picked
Speaker 1: on the third day of the NFL Draft and you're
Speaker 1: coming in to make a football team and start your
Speaker 1: NFL career. Can you talk about that aspect of the
Speaker 1: game where it's like I might need to use this
Speaker 1: to make the team. Yes, sir, Yeah, absolutely, I'd say,
Speaker 1: you know, special teams adds value to you as a player.
Speaker 1: You know, every everybody in the NFL is looking for
Speaker 1: someone that adds value and um is able to do more,
Speaker 1: you know, not just a one trick pony. So I
Speaker 1: would say special teams is huge. Um, adds plenty of
Speaker 1: value and I'm sure, um, that's part of the reason
Speaker 1: why why the Cowboys took me as well. So I
Speaker 1: have no problem coming in and playing special teams, which congrats.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm you know, I'm sure that will be
Speaker 1: a big part of this for you. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, I can't help but notice that you're six
Speaker 1: four and run of four four three and that's fun
Speaker 1: as hell. So can great question, Well, is it is
Speaker 1: it that simple? I mean, do you just go downfield
Speaker 1: and get the ball over guys or what do you
Speaker 1: think is the best thing about your game as a
Speaker 1: wide receiver right now? Yeah, I would say that, you know,
Speaker 1: given the role I played at Stanford, I was that
Speaker 1: guy to take the top off of the defense and
Speaker 1: really um catch those I was that deep threat, UM,
Speaker 1: and I feel like that's that's part of my game
Speaker 1: that I'm I feel elite, UM, and I feel like
Speaker 1: I'll help the Cowboys in that aspect. Obviously they got
Speaker 1: great receivers with CD, with the Mark Cooper, you got
Speaker 1: you know, Michael Gallup and then you have Dak throwing
Speaker 1: you the ball. So UM, you know, I'm just excited,
Speaker 1: UM just to be a part of the program and
Speaker 1: get my opportunity to learn from them and grow into
Speaker 1: the receiver. I know, I could be see me. I
Speaker 1: was watching the USHLA game and you guys were left
Speaker 1: for dead there. I mean it was amazing. I mean
Speaker 1: I can imagine you know, what was going through everybody's
Speaker 1: mind is that, you know, the clock was taken down
Speaker 1: and then you just started making play after play after play.
Speaker 1: Was one of those things where you know, the coaching
Speaker 1: staff looked at you and you know, and Davis looked
Speaker 1: at you and said, hey, you gotta you gotta Carress, bro,
Speaker 1: you gotta get us out of this thing. Is that
Speaker 1: Is that what happened in this one? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it was. It was less of the coaches, it was
Speaker 1: more of you know, I went up to Davis. Davis
Speaker 1: came up to me, and it was it was sort
Speaker 1: of like, hey, like, this is us, It's our time
Speaker 1: to go, um and let's do this thing. And you know,
Speaker 1: obviously we we we put on a show late in
Speaker 1: the end, but um, we were just excited that that
Speaker 1: game ended the way to You only had a couple
Speaker 1: of starts during your college tenure just because of COVID nineteen,
Speaker 1: really throwing a big wrench into things in the PAC
Speaker 1: twelve and not seeing a ton of playing time early
Speaker 1: in your career. How is that going to be spun
Speaker 1: as a positive for you entering the NFL with relatively
Speaker 1: low mileage. UM, I'd say, you know, obviously, given you
Speaker 1: know my you know the stats that I had and
Speaker 1: things like that, I just would say that, you know all,
Speaker 1: it's going to take his repetition for me to become
Speaker 1: like what you saw at UCLA. You know, I'm still
Speaker 1: I'm that same receiver. I can do that at the
Speaker 1: next level as well. So, UM, i'd say, just giving
Speaker 1: me repetition, and you know, obviously the little experience once,
Speaker 1: once I get a little more experience in it, We're
Speaker 1: gonna put on a show over in dose fifth round
Speaker 1: draft pick, Simmy Fihoko out of the wide receiver out
Speaker 1: of Stanford, joining us here on the draft show. Simmy,
Speaker 1: thanks so much for taking some time with us. We'll
Speaker 1: talk to you again soon. Thank you, Thank you.
