00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: You know.

13
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,479

21
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: You get here?

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 2: Any and everywhere right now, we're gonna starting with a

23
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: real position.

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: Once the last time I talked to DQ, we really.

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: Detailed in that position, but anywhere everywhere. He has a

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: plan for me, just moving me around kind of what

27
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: I was going to college, you know, kind of with

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: the see right now with the Dallas defense, you know,

29
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: moving a lot of players around, having big guys players

30
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 2: space big guys off the head. So I know Coach

31
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: Quinn he got a plan for me, and like I said,

32
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: I'm so excited to work. Whatever they need me to do.

33
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do. Who do you consider your strength to

34
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: be as a player.

35
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: As a play my versatility being able to be a

36
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: big guy run, hold my own in open state, hold

37
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 2: my own at the flat when I'm playing big Pippo

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: or something like that, Gordon tight end, and at the

39
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: same time, on third down if I needed to be

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: a pass for just jumping on the line of spermat

41
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: and pass rush. But my versatility is really what what

42
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: separates my game from from a lot of people, and

43
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: I'm ready to show that us.

44
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: How much contact do you have with the Cowboys? Are

45
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: you born of the thirty visiness?

46
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: Can you talk about the visit you've had with the

47
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 2: Cowboys and what has been in contact all the way up?

48
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: It was, uh so.

49
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: My first visit with him was a finger bowl. I

50
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: talked to him for a couple of minutes on our

51
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 2: little speed day and how they do that. But really

52
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 2: at the combine I had a formal interview with them.

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: It went great, sat down, watched the little bills, but

54
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 2: most of the time we talked and we talked about

55
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 2: and we talked about family. And you can tell right

56
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 2: just then that we clicked.

57
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: You know, the whole over room. I felt felt good

58
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: about what was going on.

59
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 2: I felt comfortable, didn't feel out of place because either

60
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: to talk to these you and Coach Cundy. Uh, I'm

61
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 2: like I said, I'm blessed. I'm honest.

62
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: Uh. Then on my thirty visits, you know, it went

63
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: those smooths like it was. It was family. It felt

64
00:02:59,320 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: like family.

65
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: And I actually called Paxton right after, or thought right after.

66
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 2: I told him, man that that was it felt like family,

67
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: It felt like home.

68
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like a stranger there. So that's one

69
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: thing I can say. They they done, and I'm glad

70
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: that I'm in that situation. Did you tell did you

71
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 1: tell him to tell his grandpa to like draft you?

72
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 1: Did you guys ever have talks like that? You know

73
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: he joke like that a lot.

74
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 2: I know he has no control over that, but I could.

75
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: Say, Paxton, I know Paton for a while now and

76
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: he's seen me, and the.

77
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 2: Words that he passed along to his grandfather was all

78
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 2: from him. I answer to persuade, persuade.

79
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: Him or anything he done all that.

80
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: Like I said, he's a good person to tasting a

81
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: good person and you know the word. I don't know

82
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: exactly what he says to his grandpa about me, but

83
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: mister Jones said that it was an a plus from

84
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 2: where he got from Patton. So whatever he said, it

85
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: was good. I love him for it and I'm very appreciated.

86
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: We saw the tight end.

87
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: I mean, like the special teams coach jumping for joy

88
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 2: in the in the war room. He was talking about

89
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: your's special teams impact that they talk about you coming

90
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 2: in and being an impact player on special teams. Yes, sir,

91
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 2: we did, and that was one of the first things

92
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: we talked about. They've seen my seconal teenion safe and

93
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 2: you know, coming in being a rookie, a linebackers, you

94
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 2: know you're looking for having us to get on the field,

95
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: and special teams is one of the things that's gonna

96
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: get you on that fifty three and get you on

97
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 2: the bus to travel. So I'm looking at Flood on

98
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 2: all the special teams.

99
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm gonna own that role.

100
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take that role and every time I'm on

101
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 2: the Bell such, it's one hundred and twenty percent on that.

102
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 1: On that thirty visit, what they have you do?

103
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 4: What did you come in here?

104
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: And did you just talk about you talk balls to

105
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 2: go over over the playbook what they have you do?

106
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,119
Speaker 2: So I talked ball a little bit when I first

107
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 2: got there, met with the linebackers posed then that was

108
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: the decordinator. We just talked about everything, but it was

109
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 2: it was, it was smooth. Wasn't really them trying to

110
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 2: fire us, to put us under person or anything. It

111
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 2: was just a welcoming home feeling. That's exactly what I

112
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: got there when I first got there for it, from

113
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 2: the dinners all the way into the lunch before I

114
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: left to go somewhere else. Uh, it felt like a

115
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: family vacation and it felt like a business took So

116
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: we watched a little film, but after that it was

117
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: more be talking about my background, talking about the family,

118
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: you know, talking about what to expect my workie season.

119
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: Did you have any other thirty visits? I did? I

120
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 1: had seven in total.

121
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 2: I visited Washington, Miami, Atlanta, and then I finished off

122
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: with Houston, Arizona and Different than I had a couple

123
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 2: of private workouts with the the Bills and the safe

124
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,039
Speaker 2: I was pretty busy over this break after Prode.

125
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 1: But you know I wouldn't have changed. It's a blessing

126
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 1: and the honor.

127
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 3: After having with Djon and obviously you tonight like the

128
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 3: program is moving up a little bit.

129
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 1: What you say, can you repeat that play one more time?

130
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: After I have one we have on Vjon yesterday and

131
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: with you going in the in the third round, would

132
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: you say your your football program is moving up a

133
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 3: little bit after some down years.

134
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: Yes, third it is. It's good to see uh Texas

135
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 2: roll goings back in the draft and we still got

136
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 2: the more that's gonna be off the board. Uh here's

137
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: still here tomorrow. Uh And that's that's what I'm looking

138
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: forward to the most, really being with those guys and

139
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: uh so we got ball.

140
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: Players there and uh in the.

141
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: Year at the time, you get see a lot more

142
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: burn ards in the draft.

143
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 4: And you you started as a safety and your size

144
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: is almost the same as jay Ron Curse, the safety

145
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 4: they have here. Are you open to playing safety as well?

146
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 4: If that's something dan Quinn sees is he's had some

147
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 4: bigger safeties in the Pastor are you a linebacker through

148
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 4: and through.

149
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: I'm open to it.

150
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 2: That's one reason I feel like I was drafted the

151
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: ability to do both. I wouldn't say it's something that

152
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: we talked about, but as far as me moving around

153
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: and having different roles, I can see that plan a

154
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: part in that.

155
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: But it's something that I'm very open to.

156
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: But when you ask me, I'm still a linebacker that

157
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: can play safe, I'm comfortable with saying I'm a line back.

158
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 4: And now and how excited are you to be lined

159
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: up with Michael Parsons And what do you think you

160
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,800
