00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: mind since I met you because my cousin his name

41
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: is AJ, but it's short for Erica James. Yes, that's

42
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: Eric with an A. So I need to know what

43
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: is a J short for?

44
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Certain people know, of course, the close ones know.

45
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 2: But we're about to be close.

46
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're close now. So my first name is Undial.

47
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: Torell juniors for Junior. What's your middle name?

48
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 4: Then I can't get it?

49
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: My government.

50
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: That one.

51
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: So the third Falcons and focus when he's back. When

52
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: he's back. One name person Episode no, that's great.

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: So one of my favorite members of the Trell family

54
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 3: is your son Trey, and he is called Tree because

55
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 3: he's the third. When it came time to make a

56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: decision on his name, how important was it for you

57
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: to have that name continue?

58
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 5: It was super important, you know, just having the legacy,

59
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 5: you know, just keep going. You know that our name.

60
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 5: I feel like it's super unique, and you know that

61
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 5: was it was always the thought, you know, once my

62
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 5: dad named me that. You know, as I grew up

63
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 5: and understood what Junior was and the levels to it,

64
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 5: I'm like, you know, once I have my son, it'd

65
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 5: be cool to pass the torch onto him.

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 4: So it was.

67
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 5: It was never a no brainer about it. So I'm

68
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 5: happy he got it. And you know, we're just gonna keep.

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: Keep saying.

70
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: No for real. So it's interesting that that's crazy you think,

71
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,239
Speaker 2: like to think that far ahead, It's like, that's insane.

72
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: I think it's funny too, because your younger brother who

73
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 3: is playing at Clemson right now, which is so crazy

74
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: to me to watch him play, because I feel like

75
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 3: he has a lot of the same look and mannerisms

76
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: of your play style, and I really do. It's almost

77
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 3: kind of like being transported back in time. Now he

78
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 3: doesn't have the family name. Was he ever jealous of

79
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 3: the fact that you got you got the name and

80
00:03:58,800 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: he didn't.

81
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: I mean, technically you're the oldest. So the first it's like,

82
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 2: it's fine.

83
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 4: Of course, you know, he the youngest. I got.

84
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 5: It was four siblings, you know, I'm the second oldest,

85
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 5: got two sisters, one older than me, one right under me.

86
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 5: And then he came, you know, he got he got

87
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 5: his name. Yeah, it ain't nothing to it, Okay, the deep.

88
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 3: Dive about there's no drama speaking of brother. I am

89
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 3: curious to the point that I was making earlier. When

90
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: you watch him, does it kind of like almost feel

91
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: like a mirroring to a certain extent of of who

92
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 3: you were even back in those days, or when you

93
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,559
Speaker 3: look at him, or you're like, he's his own person.

94
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 5: He is onn person. I tell him that all the time,

95
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 5: you know, just you know, because he always get shined

96
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 5: a lot of light on my behalf of what I've done,

97
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 5: and always, oh, I paved the way this door opened,

98
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 5: because aj you know this, that and the third and

99
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 5: that's been that since he first started playing sports. I

100
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 5: ain't going to say football, but sports in general. But

101
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,720
Speaker 5: you know I was I'm seven years older than him,

102
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 5: so you know I was able to actually see him,

103
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 5: you know, get all the way to where he at now,

104
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: really really see him grind it out, take all the criticism,

105
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 5: criticism and all the love and him just stay focused to.

106
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 4: The to the main thing.

107
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 5: And you know he's doing this thing up there at

112
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 5: You know, that's the main thing right now for him,

113
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 5: is just trying to block out all the good and

114
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 5: all the bad, right and just play his game.

115

00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 5: I'm glad it happened like before the season too. Yeah,

229
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 5: that's a lot before the season and then now just

230
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 5: focusing in on the season and now after the season

231
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,120

232
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's funny because a lot of what you said

00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 3: happened in like late July and August and summer surge.

234
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, for real.

235
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: It was interesting too because I can't remember exactly how

236
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 3: the timeline went up, but like there was one weekend

237
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 3: where I think, like you got well, you had gotten

238
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: the contract extension that was in the se all in

239
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: the same week. It was like contract extension, Westlake retired

240
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: your number on like a Friday night, and then there

241
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: was like it was Georgia Clemson. I think like that

242
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: Sunday it was like, yeah, it was a crazy week.

243
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: It was crazy. That is crazy. That was a crazy week.

244
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 5: I can't wait for I mean, I ain't say I

245
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 5: can't wait for it to be over. But it was

246
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 5: something you really had to like I had to plan, like, oh,

247
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 5: I got to get ready for this, so I got

248
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:30,079
Speaker 5: to get a haircut, this.

249
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:31,960
Speaker 2: It is important.

250
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything was important.

251
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 5: So I'm like, you know, let me make sure I'm

252
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 5: got the right head space to because everything was an

253
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: important event.

254
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 3: When you look back on that that week, I imagine

255
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 3: that going back to Westlake and having your jersey retired

256
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 3: was very, very meaningful in that moment to kind of

257
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 3: have this nostalgia effect of like, oh wow.

258
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 2: Like look how far things have come.

259
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 3: I'm curious for you if you can go back to

260
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 3: your mindset as you're kind of standing on the field,

261
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: you got your family around you to retire number.

262
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 2: What were you thankful for in that moment and what

263
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 2: were you feeling in that moment?

264
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 4: It was a lot of love, you know.

265
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 5: I feel like, what's like, you know, me growing up

266
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 5: in Atlanta first of all, just being able to actually

267
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 5: play on that field that you know, the whole high

268
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 5: school from I'm talking about like I want to say five,

269
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 5: all the way up to when I graduated, and then

270
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 5: still coming back to watch a little bro finishing. I

271
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 5: used to come back and still train there too, But

272
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 5: just that whole, like I said, that whole line of

273
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 5: just work, dedication and commitment, just a lot a lot

274
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 5: putting into the school, a lot of support, a lot

275
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 5: of people out of met a lot of relationships built.

276
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 4: It's like a.

277
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 5: Home away from home, like, you know, just my sister

278
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 5: went through there fore I went through there, my younger

279
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,239
Speaker 5: sister and my brother, Like it's really like a revolving door. Yeah,

280
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 5: and watching Cam Newton go through there, you know, coming

281
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,439
Speaker 5: to games when I was little, and all the other

282
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 5: players I'm probably not naming that was on the field,

283
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 5: but what's sake is like And then for me to

284
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 5: you know, just walk through the hallways when I was

285
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 5: at school and see jersey numbers like Cam pac Man

286
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 5: and stuff all on the on the wall and not

287
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 5: really saying I'm gonna have myself up there one day,

288
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 5: but already, you know, I was already on the right

289
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 5: path for that. So and then the fact that it came,

290
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 5: I feel like it came earlier than expected. I don't know,

291
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 5: like I feel like I thought it was more so

292
00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 5: once you finish up, you know, your career, Yeah, once

293
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 5: you finish up. But I'm super thankful, like when it

294
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 5: when I got the call that they wanted to do

295
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 5: the and you know, I just I ain't take it

296
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 5: for granted at all. You know, it's not just a

297
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 5: retired jersey. Oh you know, I took it more than

298
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 5: just it being a retired Jersey, like this is retired forever,

299
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 5: Like you know, my my.

300
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 4: Aura, my.

301
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 5: Relationships, my work ethic, everything that I ever did for

302
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 5: the school was being acknowledged at the time. And for

303
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: the people who know me and know how much I

304
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 5: work and how much everything has fell a line for

305
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 5: me and just off of just hard working things like that,

306
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 5: it's like, don't take it for granted, you know, And

307
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 5: then little bro, you know, it's just a lot going

308
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 5: into it. At the moment when I was there, I

309
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 5: really didn't know what to say when they was questioning me,

310
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 5: because it's like it's more than just like I said

311
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 5: then a Jersey being retired. It's how I treated people

312
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 5: in the building, and just all the relationships like I

313
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,640
Speaker 5: done went through like two or three principles I don't know,

314
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 5: and the ones that's still there now, Like it's just

315
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 5: a lot of respect, and yeah, I feel like it's

316
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 5: to respect and they just know how much I did

317
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 5: for the school and how much I cared and just

318
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 5: doing everything the right way and not being disrespectful, you know,

319
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 5: always having hot character and.

00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 4: So on and so on.

321
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 5: I could keep going, but that's how I felt in

322
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 5: the moment, like no it wasn't an interview long enough

323
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 5: for me to say everything I wanted to say about

324
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 5: the school, So it was more so just say what

325
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 5: you got to say. Say how thankful you are, you know,

326
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 5: get the jersey announcement and say you're bob.

327
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 2: But that's why this platform you want to tray there.

328
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, he was there that everybody, whole fam. I had

329
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 5: a lot of supporters come out. That's that was with

330
00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,000
Speaker 5: me when I was at Westlake, and then all the

331
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 5: new supporters there Now it's like, it's big.

332
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 2: That's the perfect way to set an example for your son.

333
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 4: Too, Exactly. It's big.

334
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 5: So I was glad to have I had family come

335
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 5: in out of town from New York to come see

336
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,560

Speaker 4: It was a big thing. Yeah.

338
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 3: It's interesting too because I feel like a lot of

339
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 3: people who followed you because of how your career has

340
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 3: turned out, a lot of people who followed you at

341
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:27,720

342
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 3: Mercedes Benz and still watch you perform, and I feel

343
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: like that doesn't happen very often for a lot of

344
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 3: guys and a lot of players. So I feel like

345
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 3: what you're talking about is very rare. Not just rare,

346
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: but it's very indicative to you and your story.

347
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 5: That's crazy too, like just being right down the road,

348
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 5: you know, just being at home and still putting on,

349
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 5: like it's just just gonna keep going right.

350
00:17:58,280 --> 00:17:58,880
Speaker 4: A lot to come.

351
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm so curious doing all the research and whatnot. And

352
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: if you talked about it in the last episode.

353
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: Sorry, I did listen back, but yeah, that's fine.

354
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: Why did you pick Clemson over Georgia Over Georgia and

355
00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: there was Alabama in Florida?

356
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 2: It was the homeschool.

357
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was a Florida fan growing up, so it

358
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 5: was a note brow. I only took want to visit

359
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 5: to Florida, so I already knew, like that's my dream school.

360
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 5: I just wanted to go see what it looked like.

361
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 5: And I didn't go again, so that was that. I

362
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 5: went to Bamah. Bama was good.

363
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:40,479
Speaker 2: You're talking to Obama grad here?

00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 4: Yea super good.

365
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 5: I did a little silent commit there. That's like a

366
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 5: common thing recruits. I had silent committee there and it

367
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 5: didn't feel right. When I had left and went home,

368
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 5: I didn't feel.

369
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 2: The will forgive you.

370
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I ain't really. I ain't feel it, so I

371
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 5: had ended up going you know, I picked Clemson fast forward.

372
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 5: I picked Clemson because the family atmosphere. A lot of

373
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,160
Speaker 5: people always say that, like the family atmosphere was swingy,

374
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 5: like the way he honor and look out for his

375
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 5: his the men that he bring in. And then at

376
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 5: the time, you know, everything was like you know, it

377
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 5: was like super super good and just before all the

378
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 5: nil stuff. I don't know how it is now even

379
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 5: though a little brow up there, but.

380
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: Very little people I think understand it.

381
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I don't really understand it. I don't even

382
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 5: get into it is what it is. But yeah, that

383
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 5: the atmosphere that winning, you know, we're bringing in the

384
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 5: right people. I definitely came in at the Golden Times

385
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 5: for real, where it was like just back to back

386
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 5: to back to back. But I had a great time there,

387
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 5: so I don't think I mad. And Georgia was like

388
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 5: one of the schools I was. Of course, I was

389
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 5: high on Georgia, like I wanted to go to Georgia.

390
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 5: I wanted to go to Georgia bad. But the recruiting

391
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 5: was was a little sideways, so that that played a

392
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 5: big role when you're going up there. On visits, how

393
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 5: how you get the energy, the.

394
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 3: Fives, anything about the time too, exactly what was going

395
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 3: on at Georgia, what was.

396
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: Going on at Clinton? Who is a surgery and all that.

397
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 4: Kind of Yeah, so that's that played the road.

398
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,360
Speaker 1: I did cover both of your national championships, Yeah, because

399
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:28,920

411
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 3: Your contract extension, because I think that that's such a big.

412
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 2: Part of a lot of guys' stories.

413
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 3: I know I've talked to Grady a lot about that

414
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 3: first contract extension and how important that was for him.

415
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 2: As you as we're.

416
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 3: Kind of like again ten weeks into the season, that's done,

417
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 3: it's gone. What do you reflect about that process and

418
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 3: the fact that y'all got it done and it was

419
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: kind of a nice little bow that you could put

420
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 3: on it.

421
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's first of all, super thankful for the organization

422
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 5: and blinking all the hands that's put into it, r

423
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 5: as well and coaches before me. You know, the like

424
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,600
Speaker 5: I said before, it's like the work ethic things that

425
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 5: I've been doing all my life and then just going

426
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 5: out on the field and also playing at a high

427
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 5: level applying all those things and you know, the those

428
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 5: opportunities don't come without having the right people around you

429
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 5: and just respecting the game at all time level, not cheating,

430
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 5: not you know, no no, no cheated steps around it,

Speaker 5: just grinding every way. And you you, you you, I

432
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 5: was able to read those benefits and be super thankful

433
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 5: for it. And you know it's still like that's still

434
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 5: a surreal moment too, but it's it's more so on

435
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 5: the back end, like I don't yeah, like a lot

441
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 5: high level. And that's me anyways, Like with or without

442
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 5: the contract, this year I was I was still doing that.

443
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 4: I didn't sit out.

444
00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 5: I trusted, you know, what my agent was doing with

445
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 5: you know, with Terry and all the guys was doing upstairs,

446
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 5: and as long as I was doing my thing, it'll

447
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 5: all play out. It's you know this, you know, getting

448
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,399
Speaker 5: the contract and things will come with the game. But

449
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 5: at the same time, it's it's what you're doing in

450
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 5: the field, right, yeah, what you're doing the building, how

451
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 5: you're treating people, how you moving around, how you operating,

452
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 5: and those things don't change for me.

453
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 1: I think I realized in the middle of that for

454
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: some reason, why twenty twenty four is your year?

455

00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:23,120
Speaker 2: And I need to know.

471
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 3: First off, I need to know the origins of crash

472
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 3: Out Crew, and then I need to know who designed

473
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,360
Speaker 3: the shirts that y'all have.

474
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: So the question one and then question two.

475
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,280
Speaker 4: Team work, teamwork, teamwork. Listen.

476
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 5: So the crash Out Crew started with I think I

477
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 5: think me personally, I don't think it's just we ain't

478
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 5: just come up with it, just really okay, crash out

479
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 5: then it's stuck. So I think after my micd up

480
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 5: last year Week one we played Carolina, I have broken

481
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 5: down like crash Out three or two three crash out

482
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 5: because that's like a mindset that we are. I'll play with,

483
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 5: you know, just having you know, having the position we

484
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 5: play dbs we cover all day and especially at corner.

485
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 5: They don't really expect corners to be physical or coming abouts,

486
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 5: make tackles and things like that, and I feel like

487
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,919
Speaker 5: that was like a staple of like how I play, Like,

488
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,919
Speaker 5: you know, I don't mind, you know, making making a

489
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 5: tough tackle, I don't you know, I don't think about it.

490
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 4: And crashing out mean like.

491
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 5: Just playing at a high level and not thinking, you know,

492
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 5: when you play this, when you play the game, you

493
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 5: gotta you can't be timid or thinking about the what

494
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 5: ifs or not being sure.

495
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 4: You know on game that we.

496
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 5: Prepare, everything is in order, and when you go out

497
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 5: there and play, now you're just letting it loose.

498
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: And that's crashing out.

499
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 5: Like you know, anything you see, you see the ball,

500
00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 5: go hit, go find it, gonna get interception, make plays,

501
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:04,360
Speaker 5: just let it loose. So that's what That's what started there,

502
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,680

Speaker 4: Yeah, I already know it's reading.

589
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, that would stress me out.

590
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:57,880

591
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,720

593
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 2: Can you turn it on and off? Like ability?

594
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,479

00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: to read somebody's mind.

596
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 5: You just like, yeah, you can turn it off. But

597
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 5: that'd be like what you said, you you, it'd be what.

598
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: It would be stressful, It would be stressful.

599
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 4: I do agree with that.

600
00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:21,040
Speaker 2: Stress on.

601
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,720
Speaker 5: I think it would be stressful over time because sometimes

602
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 5: you probably I ain't gonna get deep into it.

603
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,720
Speaker 2: I would rather you can't, but you can turn it

604
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:29,160
Speaker 2: on and off.

605
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 5: I'd rather read mine, especially on the field. That would

606
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 5: be I have a pick every place.

607
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 2: Every single one. Yea, in the grocery store, I don't

608
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,480
Speaker 2: want to be reading in the checkout person's in mind.

609
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 4: You don't.

610
00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:49,560

611
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 2: thoughts out there, negative thoughts.

612
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 4: But you can get off that.

613
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 2: Person that's on the off switch turns you know. That's

614
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 2: the thing is I feel.

615
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 4: Like I don't read the mind. Would be that that that's.

616
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 2: One the caveat of the on off switch. I'm okay with.
