You know, it was 0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:24.000 more people in the box my junior year than it 0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:24.799 was sophomore year. 0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.080 You did a great sophomore year in the way that 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.440 you were able to explode just kind of onto the 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.919 scene when the dope Walker reward and kind of take 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.280 your career to the next level. 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:34.960 How do you get back to that? 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.840 Whenever you were talking to these NFL teams in showcase 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:39.400 that that's the guy that you truly are. 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.919 You know, just go out there and just play free, 0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:43.760 you know, not worry about anything too much, you know, 0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.359 especially now with being not having to worry about school, 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:47.960 just being able to go out there and play football. 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:49.320 I mean, that's how it'd be from now on. 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.720 Yeah, that trophy and your trophy case is definitely a 0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:53.799 target going into twenty twenty four, right going into the 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.239 junior year. What would you say you've learned from that though? 0:02:56.280 --> 0:02:58.520 With those stacked boxes and everyone having to account for 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.520 you coming out of the backfield, do you think that 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:02.120 has helped you going into this process? 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:05.000 I would just say, you know, being able to tune 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:07.480 that out and run harder. You know, sometimes it's like, Okay, 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.760 it's a stack box, but you know in the league 0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:10.679 is going to be a stack box. 0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:11.600 Can't let that stop you. 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:14.639 And it's no different at UIs Trinity. 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:16.520 They were putting stack boxes on you all the way 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:17.840 through the fifth ront of the playoffs. 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:19.160 Yeah that is too. 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.520 I feel like high school I was just able to, 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:23.600 you know, outrun everybody was good. But you know, everybody 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.160 in the next little gets better and competition gets better. 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:27.720 So when you look at this. 0:03:27.760 --> 0:03:30.119 Running back class from top to bottom is pretty deep. 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:32.480 Where do you feel like you stand out amongst the 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.240 rest of your peers in terms of what's something that 0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:35.800 you feel like you do better than anybody else. 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:37.880 I would say catching the ball out the backfield, being 0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:39.800 able to pick up pass bro you know, just just 0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.560 being a bigger back, you know, the passover comes easier, 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.360 and you know, more people want to swat and swim 0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.080 and go through music because I'm a bigger back. 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:49.480 So I feel like that helps a lot. 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.240 Did you learn a lot of that from your time 0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:54.720 in high school before even showing up at Oklahoma State? 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.520 Because there wasn't a whole lot of passing in Ulyss Trinity. 0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.480 They were running the ball quite a bit. I mean, 0:03:59.520 --> 0:04:01.480 how much do you have to adjust when you got 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:03.360 up there to still water in that regard? 0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:05.080 I would say from my freshman the junior year, I 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:07.040 definitely had to just a lot, you know, especially like 0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:08.720 you said with the past bro picking up passes. 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.200 We didn't really felt like that if we did, it 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.520 was me throwing it so and it did. 0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.560 I wasn't even throwing it, but uh yeah, I felt 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:18.840 like freshman the junior year, I definitely had to adjust. 0:04:19.040 --> 0:04:22.240 You know, Okay, what passing? What was this linebacker gonna do? 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:23.320 What does this dlama go? 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:23.520 Do? 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:23.680 You know? 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:25.120 Sometimes we got to pick up d lomba. So I 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.120 feel like from freshman the junior year, I definitely had 0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:27.640 to learn that. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:29.200 Can you still do the pregame Hawka. 0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.160 I feel like, if you know, we got a group 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:33.719 of the guys together, I definitely could. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:39.840 Do burying your high school experience to the college level 0:04:39.839 --> 0:04:41.840 and obviously having a good time up in still Water. 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.679 What would you say, overall the carries that you've gotten, 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:46.320 why would that be. 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.520 A positive for a team to have that many carries? 0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:50.559 I mean, I feel like it'd be huge just because 0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:52.000 I mean, it's a lot of carries, but also when 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.880 you look around the collegiate level, it's definitely not as 0:04:55.000 --> 0:04:56.840 much as some of the other backside. So I feel 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:58.960 like my body and everything is still fresh and you know, 0:04:59.160 --> 0:05:01.360 ready to go. You got a lot of mallets left 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:01.600 on it. 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:02.960 I think, especially because you look at a guy like 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.159 Derrick Henry right, and he had a ton of carries 0:05:05.200 --> 0:05:07.240 in high school, a ton of carries at Alabama, and 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.640 that's obviously translated well into the NFL, especially for a 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:10.200 bigger back. 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:11.680 Do you think that benefits you at the end of 0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:11.920 the day. 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:13.520 I feel like it does because I feel like teams 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:14.919 will look at it and be like, Okay, you know, 0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:16.159 we could put the ball in his hands. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:17.800 He knows what to do and you'll know how to 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:18.440 manage with it. 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.359 And speaking of managing it, like these guys said, you know, 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:22.920 in high school they leaned on you a lot. 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:24.520 At Oklahoma State they lean on you a lot. 0:05:24.520 --> 0:05:26.760 How have you learned to kind of manage that workload 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:28.560 and take care of your body to where when you 0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:30.880 get to the NFL level you can continue to manage 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:31.600 a workload like that. 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:33.359 I mean, as we're getting older, you know, you know 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:34.919 how to take care of your body. You know, some 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.000 days you need more ice tub, some days you know 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:38.919 you got to hit the lift harder. I just feel 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.279 like it depends on where I am in the situation 0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:43.000 at the time. 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.760 Yeah, you're going to face a lot of great prospects 0:05:45.800 --> 0:05:48.040 throughout the week, whether it be in drills or one 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:50.760 on ones and throughout these Senior Bowl practices.

We've got 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:08.400 our second guest. It's Mike Green Edge rusher from Marshall 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:11.520 and Mike, we've just told you you're already an early 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:14.840 fan favorite across the board for draft fans at home. 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:16.800 What is your goal this week? 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:19.120 What's the number one thing you're trying to achieve over 0:10:19.120 --> 0:10:20.559 the week of practices. 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:21.400 And then the game on Saturday. 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.320 Yeah, I'm basically out here trying to show that I 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:27.320 compete with the best guys in the country. And I 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.920 feel like there's sometimes some talk about competition levels, and 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.320 I'm basically here trying to show that I could play 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:34.920 with these dudes. 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.720 Of course, you guys were Sunbelt champions up at Marshall, 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.920 had a great year in Huntington, West Virginia. But you 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:44.000 talked about the competition element. Why do you feel like 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.400 that's the case because you guys played some of the 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:47.120 top competition. 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:48.000 You played against. 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.520 Ohio State, you played against some of those other teams 0:10:50.520 --> 0:10:52.600 in the Sun Belt in and non conference play along 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:52.840 the way. 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:56.880 Yeah, maybe because it wasn't consistent, Maybe because we didn't 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.520 play the best of the best guys each week, So 0:10:59.559 --> 0:11:01.079 of course going to be like at least a little 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.280 talk about it. But I don't really think in most 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.800 cases that's that's not the factor. I know sometimes it 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.360 could be like that, but for the most part, like, 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:14.480 I still think we played the top notch competition at 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:17.400 some points of the season, and there's other barriers that 0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:21.880 have to overcome, like double team, triple teams, getting uh 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:25.120 getting chip blocked, and all those types of things. So 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.160 I think it was still a challenge and I'm just 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.800 excited to be out here and showcase my talent. 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:31.280 Yeah. 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:34.000 You mentioned being double team triple team all the time 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.080 on film. When you get one on one against the 0:11:36.080 --> 0:11:38.000 tackle or whoever it may be, what do you feel 0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:39.679 like you do best in order to win there and 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:40.520 get to the quarterback? 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.800 Yeah, most of the time, I have a I have 0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:45.080 a plan of how I'm going to approach the tackles 0:11:45.120 --> 0:11:45.600 that we're going to. 0:11:45.600 --> 0:11:46.280 Face that week. 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.600 Most of the times I was able to beat them 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:53.280 any kind of speed rush or any kind of finesse move, 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.840 So that was kind of like the thing that I 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:59.520 think I did the best at the last season. So 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:04.440 it just depended on which opponent we were facing. Some 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.360 opponents I had to do speed rushes. Some point I 0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:10.160 have to do power rushes. So it's just dependent on 0:12:10.200 --> 0:12:11.200 who we were facing that week. 0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.280 You mentioned the variety of past rush moves. It stands 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:15.439 out on film. You can win in a lot of 0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:18.080 different ways. What's your favorite favorite past rush move and 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.439 what do you feel like makes it so effective for you? 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:24.959 I think spinning because I'll sell either inside or outside 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:29.200 very good, and I'm able to get down and leverage 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.760 and be a little bendy and fast, So I think 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:34.960 it's easier for me to sometimes spin around guys. 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:36.880 So I'll probably say spinning. 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.040 You in this era of college football, nine out of 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:40.840 ten of these guys. Maybe that's a little high, but 0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:42.800 a lot of these guys here the first stop doesn't 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.000 really work out, and then they find the second stop 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:47.200 and it's able to really, you know, help their career. 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:50.440 Going from Virginia to Marshall and having to go through 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.480 that process again, go down to the G five level, 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.520 but still find your way into first round conversations. How 0:12:55.520 --> 0:12:57.040 do you think that speaks to your progression. 0:12:57.800 --> 0:12:59.720 I think it just speaks to you, like everything that 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.640 you need to know about me. I'm a guy that 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.520 keeps my head down to keep pushing, regardless of the 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.280 competition level and regardless what challenges I. 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:07.920 May have faced. 0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:09.920 I was still able to keep my head down and 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.280 keep going. So I think that just tells you the 0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:13.880 type of guy that I am and the type of 0:13:13.880 --> 0:13:14.760 football I like to play. 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.480 I know Coach Huff runs that program like an NFL team. 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:20.839 What would you say your experience under Charles Huff and 0:13:20.880 --> 0:13:22.640 that coaching staff prepared you for the NFL. 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:25.720 Coach Huff, he's a great guy. He kind of played 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.640 like the grandfather of the team. He sat back, He 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:31.079 lets you figure out things yourself, and he was just 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:32.840 able to let us be able to go out there 0:13:32.840 --> 0:13:35.160 and just play football. And I think he's a great 0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.400 coach because he he's not out there on the field 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.760 with us, so he let us figure things out and 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.200 I think that that helped us in the long run. 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:44.680 And he's a great guy. 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:47.080 And I love Coach Huff to death. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:48.920 Sorry, I'm not trying to run through questions here. 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:51.839 I got one more As far as yesterday way and 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.440 you're one of the big winners getting in over two fifty. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:55.520 How big was that for you? 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.640 Yeah, it was, it was huge. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:00.000 I didn't know how big it was going to be 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:02.040 for me at least, but I knew I was gonna 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.520 have to come in here a little bit more heavier 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:07.520 than I've been this past few years. But I feel 0:14:07.559 --> 0:14:11.280 like it it was a big accomplishment for me, simply 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.120 because there was a lot to talk about me being 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:16.359 undersized and things like that, and I came in not undersized. 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:19.480 So of course people are going to keep coming with 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:22.160 things that like arm length and hand size and all 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:23.280 those different types of things. 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:26.080 But that's just challenges that everybody's. 0:14:25.640 --> 0:14:26.280 Gonna have to face. 0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:31.440 And I feel like, regardless what the measurements is, the 0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:32.480 tape is the tape. 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.400 Mike green Edge rusher from Marshall, joining us here on 0:14:35.440 --> 0:14:38.320 the Draft Show. Going back to what you talked about 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.640 with the winning ability and the success rate of a 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:45.600 finesse move and a speed move. At Marshall, you led 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:49.000 the FBS in sacks, sack yardage, tackles for loss this 0:14:49.000 --> 0:14:52.200 past year, put together a monster season. You're going up 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:55.040 against that competition that you mentioned as well, this week 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:56.840 in the Senior Bowl, do you think you'll have to 0:14:57.240 --> 0:15:00.800 employ more than just one speed move or one uh 0:15:00.960 --> 0:15:03.200 finesse move in order to get it done now that 0:15:03.200 --> 0:15:05.160 you're going up against some of the better tackles in 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:07.440 the country and then ultimately into the NFL. 0:15:07.880 --> 0:15:08.640 Yeah, for sure. 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:10.360
