1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: Teacher. I was looking at your bio in the South

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Carolina thing and a lot of the things that were

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: highlighted was tenacity leadership. I mean, is that you yes, sir,

4
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: that's me. I mean, where did that come from? I

5
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: believe that the tenacity and everything came from just the

6
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: way I was raised. I have two older brothers, so

7
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: I kind of came up fighting them and you know,

8
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: wrestling around with them. And I come from an athletic family,

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: so sports have always been kind of, you know, something

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 1: that we've we've done, and just growing up in that

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: type of household, it made me. Uh, it made me

12
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: competitive and made me fierce, you know, and I just

13
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: got out on the field and have fun. How long

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 1: did it take you to beat them? Um? They kind

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 1: of stopped once I started getting bigger, So UM, I

16
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: don't think they've really tried to mess with me since

17
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: I've you know, gotten older. But I never got a

18
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: chance to a t J. How you doing, I'm doing well?

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: How about yourself? Good? Thank you? Um? I just want

20
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: to know what you're doing to stay in shape, you know,

21
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: what your situation is like amid this, and also what

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: were your interactions with Joe Judge, the head coach before

23
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: the draft, and then when he called you, what was

24
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 1: your impression of him? Right now, just with working out

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,279
Speaker 1: and everything, I've been trying to stay within the social

26
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: distancing guidelines and um, I've been able to get in

27
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: what I need to and stick to my routine so far.

28
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: And before the draft, my only interaction with coach Judge

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: was at the Senior Bowl. I was lucky enough to

30
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: be a participant of that and had an interview with

31
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: the giants and that was the first interaction. And I

32
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: thought he was a pretty pretty laid bad guy. And

33
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: you know he's he's about ball and he knows what

34
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: he's talking about for sure. So's decited to excited to

35
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: play for him and get on the team and you know,

36
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: just see what the giants are about. What was that

37
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: initial call like when you, um, when he when you

38
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: got the call that you were drafted by him, what

39
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: was his you know his message to you? Um, really

40
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: just he just asked me if I was ready to work.

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: It was pretty simple. Let me know that that they

42
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 1: like me, and um, they thought I was a good player,

43
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: So you know that that the real message there was

44
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: just you know, coming ready to work and you know,

45
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: prove yourself. Thank you. How do you go ahead with

46
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: your question? Thank you? Hey, t J. How you doing

47
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: I'm doing well. How about yourself doing well? Thanks for

48
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 1: asking t J. I write that you played over snaps

49
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: in college over three year career, which would suggest good

50
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: durability on your part. Can you talk about your durability

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: and also what are some of the roles they asked

52
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: you to play within that defense? Um? When it comes

53
00:02:59,919 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: to a durability, I feel like I'm a guy that's gonna,

54
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: you know, just be out there every game, you know,

55
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 1: as long as I'm healthy. But just I'm a guy

56
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: that's gonna do what it takes to get on the

57
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: field to help my team out. UM. And that just

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: comes with preparation and uh, just how I take care

59
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: of my body. Um. And what was the second part

60
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: of the question, what what type of role did you

61
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: play in the defense? What roles? UM? I think I

62
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: was a guy that just went out there too to

63
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: bring energy and to play fast. But I played Mike

64
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: will um and wherever else I needed to line up.

65
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: So there were a few times that I've lined up

66
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: as a single high safety and you know, I was

67
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: in middle field safety. So wherever they need me to play,

68
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm comfortable and um, I'm able to

69
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: do it. So and then one more question, if I may,

70
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: I see you were also a two time captain. What

71
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: did that mean to you to be vote it captain

72
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 1: by your tears? Yes, so being a two time captain

73
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 1: is uh is big just for the simple fact that

74
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: I was voted on by my peers. But it just

75
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: made me feel as if I had a stronger role

76
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: to play on the team. And you know, I was

77
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: definitely a guy that had to come out every day

78
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 1: and you know, prove myself improved. Why I have that

79
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: those titles? Thank you, no problem, Thank you Barto. You

80
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: can go ahead with your question. Hey, congrats some being

81
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: drafted man. Yeah, thank you. I just wanted to piggyback

82
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: off that last question a little bit. Um, as a

83
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: guy who was a captain in college, seventh round pick

84
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: coming in as a rookie, UM, there's a lot of

85
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: emphasis on culture in terms of what your judge is

86
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: trying to build. How do you come in as a

87
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: rookie and try to assert that leadership role right away? Um,

88
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: My only focus is getting in and doing and doing

89
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 1: what I'm supposed to do to help the team. I

90
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: don't have any predictions or you know anything. I don't

91
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 1: plan on going in there being that guy. I just

92
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: want to go in there and do my job and

93
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: do it to the best of my capabilities. So if

94
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 1: whatever whatever is asking me, I plan on doing it

95
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: at a full speed and just doing it the way

96
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: that it should be done. Were there any alumni from

97
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 1: South Carolina or any current pros, it might have helped

98
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: you out through this process, given you some advice, trained

99
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: with you that sort of thing. Um, I've had a

100
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: couple of different guys just talk to me. I'm Taylor

101
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: stal Wars. It's one of those guys. You know. They

102
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: just kept me level. Um, Dennis Daily as well. They

103
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: really just kept me level the process of you know,

104
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: training for combine, a pro day or whatever, and getting

105
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: ready for the draft. And now we're post draft and

106
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different this year than what they

107
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: had to go through. But I think, uh, they've given

108
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: me enough information and knowledge of what they expect that up,

109
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: I'm pretty I'm ready for it. Thanks teacher. Problem with

110
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 1: your question, Hey, t J, I was curious about it.

111
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: If you had what your experience level was like in

112
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: college with special teams, and also if you know anybody,

113
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 1: uh that you've come across. Obviously you were at the

114
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl, but from this draft class, if you if

115
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: you're you're close. I know's there's a couple of linebackers

116
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: there that that you guys are were all drafted uh

117
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 1: late by this team. Did did you do? You guys

118
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 1: know each other from from the pre draft things and

119
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: and even college recruiting. Yeah, I know Cam Brown from

120
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl and uh, he's the only guy that I

121
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: really know. Um. And and the special teams, Uh, I

122
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: came in when I came into South Carolina, I started

123
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: off in special teams and that was my way of

124
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: getting on the field and getting on the roster. Um.

125
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: And that was also how the coaches gain their trust

126
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: in the players. So uh, whatever it took, Like I

127
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: was out on every every type of drill that they

128
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: had in practice. I was going out trying to get

129
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: out there first. Um. And I know that's kind of

130
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 1: my role and how I make this team and how

131
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: I can help out and make it better. So any

132
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: type of special teams, whatever they need me to do,

133
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: I'm out there. What did you like? What? What role

134
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: on special teams did you like? Was there any of

135
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: that stood out? Um? I think my favorite probably punt,

136
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 1: but I don't mind. I like kickoff, punt return, I

137
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,800
Speaker 1: like everything pretty much. Just curious, you know, I was

138
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: reading reading up just like everybody else, and I saw you.

139
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 1: You played basketball for a while and then gave it up.

140
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: And I guess the line was that you had five thousand,

141
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: used them all pretty much every game. That fair. I'm

142
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: not sure where that came from. Um, I grew up

143
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 1: playing baseball, come into baseball player in my whole life.

144
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean I played. I started varsity in eighth grade,

145
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: played all the way through my senior year. But I

146
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: kind of had a just because of the way football

147
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: and baseball worked. I missed a lot of you know,

148
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: travel ball and stuff because of football workouts. I decided, uh,

149
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: you know, after a while, I put in from the

150
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: colum of football and they give full scholarships, so I

151
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 1: decided to take the football out. Where did you play baseball?

152
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: What was your favorite position? I played third base. Um,

153
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: my senior year, I got moved to moved the right

154
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: field because we didn't have any outfielders. But Um, it

155
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: was I played third, I played first, but primarily third.

156
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 1: We were you a good hitter? I like to think, So,

157
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: what's the last time you've been in the cage? Which

158
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: wrong about since high school freshman year. I guess if

159
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,839
Speaker 1: they have I guess if they have one of those

160
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: charity softball games, you'll jump in and maybe surprise us.

161
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: I'll be out there, no doubt the problem. Martin, you

162
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 1: go ahead with your question. Hey t J. Congratulations. UM,

163
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: I just wonder if you know take Crowder at all? Uh,

164
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: And I know you were picked a couple of spots

165
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: prior to him, but him being the last pick in

166
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: the entire draft, can there'd be some fun element to that,

167
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 1: you know, as as you go forward. Obviously it's a

168
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: unique spot to be in, right. Yeah, I haven't had

169
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: any personal conversations with him. I'm gonna play against him

170
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: the past couple of years. I've seen him in person,

171
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: like seeing him play in person. Um, I'm sure he's

172
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: a baller. I know he's a baller for the fact

173
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: that you know that he was in the position that

174
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: he's in and I was in the same position almost.

175
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 1: But um, I'm looking forward to work and I don't.

176
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: I don't really have much to say. I haven't talked

177
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: to him and said anything to him, but I'm excited.

178
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: I know what type of guys that Georgia has, and

179
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: I know that he's gonna come out there and be

180
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: a dog. So thank you, no problem. How do you

181
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: can go ahead with your question? Thank you? Hey t J.

182
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: I was also reading that you initially committed to Louisville

183
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 1: and then flop over put back to South Carolina and

184
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 1: you had somewhat of a special relationship with your head coach.

185
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: Can you tell us a little bit about that relationship. Yes,

186
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 1: my mom, I was committed to Louisville and I took

187
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: my official visit there in December, I think, and uh,

188
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: it just it didn't feel it didn't feel right, It

189
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: didn't feel like home for me. So um, I committed

190
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 1: to South Carolina with a touch my chap. But I

191
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 1: was also a coach coach Muss Shemp's first visit whenever

192
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: he got the job. After the press conference, everything he

193
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: told me from day one has uh pretty much came

194
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: to fruition. So um, and those things were just like

195
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: you know, you work hard, get in here, work hard,

196
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: keep your head down. Um, and you'll see what what

197
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: you're what you're working for. And uh, you know, just

198
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: over the years, my relationship grew and kind of understood

199
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 1: him and what he wants in the program and things

200
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: like that. So it made it a lot easier for me.

201
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: And what did it mean to you that you were

202
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,199
Speaker 1: basically the first recruit he went to visit with after

203
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: he was hired. Oh, it was. It was It was

204
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: big to know that someone, especially a coach like that

205
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: in the SEC felt like I was, you know, important

206
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: enough to go out and get and to help start

207
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: a team for his you know, his inaugural season and

208
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: stuff like that's that's going down to history where his

209
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: first class, like some some of those guys in his

210
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: first class, like, it's it's crazy looking back at it

211
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 1: now knowing that, knowing all of our stories and how

212
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: we got there and things. Thank you, no problem, Thank

213
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 1: you of course you would you go ahead with your question? Yes,

214
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: t J. I was wondering, Um, you know, in any

215
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 1: other rookie in any other year, would be getting ready

216
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: to come to Jersey to um, you know, meet the players,

217
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 1: see the facility, you know all those other things, and

218
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: you're not gonna be able to do that for a

219
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 1: while here. So, UM, how much are you interested to

220
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 1: see how this whole remote learning thing works? Are you

221
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 1: worried about it? Do you have any experience with it?

222
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: You know? Is it a disadvantage for rookies to be

223
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: learning this way, you know, through a laptop or a

224
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 1: tablet versus you know, and and the disappointment at not

225
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: getting onto the field this weekend maybe at a rookie

226
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 1: minicamp because of everything going on right now. I I

227
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:09,559
Speaker 1: think that this is the best option that we have. Um,

228
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: I don't I personally don't have an issue with it.

229
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 1: I'd rather be you know, up there in person. But um,

230
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,680
Speaker 1: if this is how we have to get our football

231
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: and then you know, there's there's there's no problem with

232
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: that as far as I know from what I've been told,

233
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: the way that they have it set up, it seems

234
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: like it's gonna it's gonna be helpful for us. Um.

235
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 1: I think it is a disadvantage for rookies not to

236
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 1: not to see where they're gonna be at and you know,

237
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: be there in person. But we also expected to be

238
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: able to come in and pick up what's going on

239
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: and play fast. So um, I think that this will

240
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: help us when we get there and well, whenever we

241
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: get there, hopefully this before August. But if we don't

242
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: get there until August, then you know we're supposed to

243
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: hit the ground and be able to pick up everything

244
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: that's going on. So, um, I think that this gives

245
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: us a chance to really understand the calls and the

246
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 1: defense and everything and get out there and play fast.

247
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 1: You're thinking, um, in August. If you finally get here

248
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: by then it will be even more appreciation after, you know,

249
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: almost like a you know, a cage guy trying to

250
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: you know, finally get on the field that you know

251
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: you appreciate being a drafted but it's gonna take a

252
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 1: long time to get onto the field, definitely. I think

253
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: that's that's when it will really settle in for for me. Um,

254
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 1: once I get a helmet on and get up there

255
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: and start playing around, I think that's when of the

256
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: you know, really, you know, I would even have any

257
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: giant skier, right, did they gonna send you any giant

258
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: ski or anything like that? I hope. So I'm waiting

259
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: on it. Yeah, I'm definitely waiting on it. But no,

260
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: my dad's my whole family's um their raiders stands. So

261
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: you gotta wear blue, blue not black, right? Yeah? Oh no, yeah, definitely.

262
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: Now you're gonna deck the house out of some blue
