Eric Allen here inside the 0:00:09.800 --> 0:00:13.640 studio on a lovely day, joined by Jets receiver Corey Davis. 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:15.560 Great to see you man, Yes, sir, thanks for having me. 0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:19.040 What does it feel like for you now with a 0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:21.319 year under your belt in Green and White? Man, it 0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.040 feels good. Um. Obviously the first year was you know, 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.680 not like I didn't go how we planned it or 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:29.040 how I planned it obviously, but it's a good year 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:30.360 just to get out of my boat, come out there 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.320 and you know, go out there, ball out with the 0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:34.120 guys a little bit. But um, like I said, it 0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:37.400 was a little bit unfortunately got injured. Um, you know, 0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:39.520 in the season went the way it did. But um, 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:41.280 that was good to have that first year when you 0:00:41.320 --> 0:00:44.120 were thinking about it and you signed your contract here, 0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:46.920 how did you envision year one? Goal Man, I don't 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:50.800 visited going good. Um. Definitely not getting injured, that's for sure. 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:53.199 But um, I learned a lot. Um. You know, the 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.360 guys learned a lot as well. So we've just taken 0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:56.960 it one day at a time. At this point, what 0:00:57.040 --> 0:01:02.840 did you learn? Well, we're the most significant lessons and UM, 0:01:03.080 --> 0:01:04.720 you gotta say I learned a little bit about my body. 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:07.200 I learned to just stay in it mentally, Um, you know, 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.400 because you know, obviously after the injury injury, I was 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:12.560 a little down on myself, a little depressed. But um, 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.959 I just learned a little mental toughness and you know, 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:17.679 I had to break through that a little bit, but 0:01:18.480 --> 0:01:19.920 it was good. I came out the other side and 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.520 I'm better for it. So can you talk about the injury? 0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:27.000 When people are saying core muscle surgery, how do you 0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:29.360 explain it? Yeah, I mean it was a pretty pretty 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:34.720 serious injury. It's probably um it's more so like a growing, 0:01:35.319 --> 0:01:38.120 growing core UM. And I had to have both repaired 0:01:38.160 --> 0:01:40.679 and it was tough. I mean I couldn't lift my 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:43.520 leg um and I was fighting, fighting through it for 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.520 a few weeks, but it just, you know, it just 0:01:45.560 --> 0:01:48.000 kept getting worse. UM. Ended up having to just shut 0:01:48.040 --> 0:01:51.560 it down and getting it repaired. But I'm glad I did. Yeah. 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:56.559 I've had a few hernia surgeries and those were difficult. Um. 0:01:56.720 --> 0:02:00.200 How tough was it for you to battle through at 0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.720 and try to play? It was tough? I mean just 0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.880 knowing that you have something that's that doesn't feel right 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.520 in the back of your head kind of handles you 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:11.079 a little bit. Um. But like I said, I was 0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:13.359 just trying to break through that mentally and just try 0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:15.080 to stay in it and not think too much about it. 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:17.440 But I mean I can only do so much, you 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:19.280 know with that injury. Um. Like I said, I was 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:23.920 just fighting three or four weeks with it, um and 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.760 just ended up setting it down so early on. How 0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.160 did you become Zack Wilson's guy? Because I don't know 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:33.120 if people for remember this, but if we go way 0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.919 back in Week one, you're coming out of the gates, 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.639 you got two touchdown receptions in Carolina. No, I mean 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.320 it was just that trust and that that you know, 0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:43.160 we were working on it a lot this this past offseason, 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.680 I mean before my first year here, um, as well 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:48.000 as this year. Um. You know, we're still building that chemistry. 0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:49.800 But you know, we had a lot of trust and 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.880 we still you know, we're we're working on it every day, 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.639 and I'm definitely glad that we have that guy on 0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:56.480 our side. Man, he's a great talent and great quarterback 0:02:56.520 --> 0:03:00.760 and man, real good people. Yeah, but it's that's the expectation. 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:02.960 You had for yourself even come to a new team. 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.480 Is that When Zach went back to throw last year, 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:10.080 Oftentimes people will say, well, the security blanket is the 0:03:10.120 --> 0:03:13.280 tight end. I thought the security blanket early on in 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:15.960 his professional career was eighty four, no doubt. I mean, 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.680 and that's what you want, you know, you want that 0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.240 in the quarterback to to have that trust in and 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:22.640 you and and you know it's just my job to 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:24.960 you know, be at the same spot and you know, 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.760 get that timing down, um, each and every time, so 0:03:28.040 --> 0:03:29.760 you know he knows where I'm gonna be and trust 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:33.560 to put it there. Joe Douglas reminds people as far 0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:37.560 as the receivers are concerned, when your name is mentioned, 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.440 Corey Davis was on pace for a thousand yards. That 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.440 would have been in your first thousand yards season in 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:47.720 national football. You think you get there if you're not hurt, 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.160 no question. I think so. Um, Like I said, I 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.440 was on pace. I felt really good about the year. Um, 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:54.640 you know, and we were getting better each and every 0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:57.360 week um. And you know that was the main focus 0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.360 of just improving each and every weekend. You know, that's 0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.360 what we were doing before that injured. So take me 0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.000 through the off season obviously. Did you have to do 0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:09.480 any rehab once January started? Are you in good shape 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:12.000 right to go? You're ready and rolling? I mean I 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.600 was in great shape. Um, just as far as you know, 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:16.800 the surgery that the doctors did a really good job, 0:04:16.839 --> 0:04:18.240 and you know, the training staff here did a really 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:19.880 great job of you know, just kind of keeping me 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:23.039 in shaping. Um. You know, just trying to you know, 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:26.160 keep trying to move and trying to keep doing stuff too, 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.839 you know, prevent it from getting really stiff. Um. But 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.680 I was down bad for a little bit. Um ended up, 0:04:31.720 --> 0:04:34.800 you know, working back in around January and I started 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:39.400 to run. Um. But it was good. Man. I'm healthy now. 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.680 I was rehabbing. I got right. So I'm ready at 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.240 the ground running. Okay. So take us to Nashville. Uh, 0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:47.479 Zach Wilson is out there thrown? Do you? We're seeing 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.120 this on social media? How did that all come about? Man? 0:04:50.160 --> 0:04:53.920 He was on tour this offseason. That's the thing about him. Man, 0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.640 He's gonna find you and he's gonna work regardless. Um. 0:04:56.680 --> 0:04:58.520 You know, he's a workhorse, and he he loves to 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.680 work and you know, getting work with his guys and 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.320 that's what he did this all season. Um, he went 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:07.719 to Callie Arizona, he came to Nashville and man, that 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:09.520 that just says a lot about who he is and 0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:10.920 the type of leader he is. You know, he came 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.160 down to Nashville and we got a couple of days 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:16.359 in really good work. Um. I'm glad he did it. Man, 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:18.200 it's gonna pay off. What can you do when you're 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.520 throwing against air, when it's just you and him out there? 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.360 We gotta just visualize that, you know, there's a defense 0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:26.280 out there, Um, and you know, go through that progression 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.280 and you know, make it as real as we can. 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.640 You know, did you spend any time with him away 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:34.560 from the field. He's down there for a couple of days. Yeah. 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.160 I mean we're we done a few things off the field. 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.920 We definitely got to do more. Um. I got a 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:41.880 little girl now, so that's where most of my time goes. 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.200 But um, we definitely got to do a lot more 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:45.680 off the field. I think we're gonna play something this 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.960 weekend though. Awesome. So when you heard that he was 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:53.159 making the trip across the United States, he starts with you, 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.600 I think in Nashville. Now he's down in Florida with 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:58.360 Braxton and maybe a couple of other guys. And he's 0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.240 on the West coast and there a zone. What's what's 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:04.280 going through? Man? He's serious about it, you know. And 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:07.239 the fact that he's hopping up getting on a plane 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.880 and going all the way across the country and you know, 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:12.880 traveling to different guys. Um, that just says how serious 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:14.400 he is and the type of leader he is. What 0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.560 do you like about his game? He's a competitor and 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.320 he's gonna work regardless. Like he's a he's a perfectionist. 0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:21.960 If the ball isn't exactly where he wanted to be, 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:23.960 he's going to run it back, you know, and get 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.839 it again. And um, I mean that's what you wanted 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.800 a quarterback, you know what I'm saying. And like I said, 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:31.000 I mean, he's a work course and he's gonna go 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:33.400 get it. What is that game against the Titans mean 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:37.719 for you? Man? I mean I can't even lie and 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.400 say that it didn't really mean much. Um. Obviously, this 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.320 is a game and it's all business, you know, it's 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.640 it's not it's not too personal at times. But um, 0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:49.800 I mean that one definitely meant something to me. Just 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:52.200 to go out there and and you know, to beat 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.760 them the way that we did. Man, I felt good. 0:06:55.400 --> 0:07:00.920 A lot of love for for for Tennessee and the 0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:04.279 people there, but man, that felt good. So where were 0:07:04.360 --> 0:07:11.160 you in terms of progressions on the long touchsdown? Man? 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:18.040 I think I was third in the progression. Yeah, at 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:22.440 what point are you like? I think we got a 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.520 chance here? Um? Once I saw him do this, that's 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.600 coming to me and he go in a position and 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.880 he put it, Man, he put it on a rope, 0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.200 perfect ball, and you know we made have him. Yeah, 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.240 what is it? What does it mean to you? Young 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:41.840 team beaten clubs like that at home last year? Tennessee 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:46.800 obviously a playoff team, Cincinnati, a team that advanced to 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.160 the a f C well to the Super Bowl. I 0:07:49.200 --> 0:07:52.280 mean they take down the Kansas City Chiefs, so perennial 0:07:52.840 --> 0:07:56.480 UH contender and a couple of minutes away from beating 0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:59.280 the Rams in the Super Bowl. So what did it 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:01.760 say to you as far as those experiences for the 0:08:01.880 --> 0:08:04.960 young club, specifically those couple of games. I mean, we 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.360 could play with anybody, and we can compete with anybody 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.600 on any doing Sunday, Um, and I truly believe that 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.080 we've got a lot of talent in this locker room. 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:15.560 We got a really good group of men um, high 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:19.560 character men um, and man, it just shows that we 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:21.440 could play with anybody. Those are really good teams that 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.840 we beat, you know at home. Um, it just proves 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:28.320 our potential. Was it better? Sweet? Watching that Tampa game? Like, 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.520 from one side of spectrum, I gotta imagine you're like, hey, 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.600 this is all coming together and it looks like this 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.920 is Zach's best professional game. But on the other side, 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.320 a little ledger or the other side of the spectrum, 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.120 I should say that you weren't out there on the field. 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.839 Yeah it was a little tough, but man, I love 0:08:46.880 --> 0:08:48.319 to see the guys do well and go out there 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.800 and you know, hand out business.

And 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.600 then you add Garrett Wilson in an equation here in 0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.320 the off season? Man, it's uh, we can be dangerous 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.800 and we can you know, we got a lot of weapons, um, 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:48.640 a lot of different guys who can do different things, 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.520 you know, adding Garrett um, you know, bringing be back now, 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:56.000 those are those are added weapons.

And I'm extremely 0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:02.160 heavy that we got gee um Man, that dude can 0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:03.920 do it all. He's I'm just out there watching and 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.559 run routes and then like, man, I don't know how 0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:08.319 you move like that, and he's sticking in and out 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:11.040 of brakes and I'm like, yeah, he's special. He's got it, 0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:13.520 um like I said, And I'm glad he's on our side. 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.480 He's gonna be a great wide out. Totally different body types. 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:21.360 But do you see similarities between him and Elijah in 0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:26.240 terms of short area quickness, the versatility, and also the 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:31.000 explosiveness to get down the field and run past people. Yeah? Yeah, 0:10:31.120 --> 0:10:33.160 all like you said, Um, you know they're similar in 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:34.240 that way. Is the way they can get in and 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.240 out of brakes real quick and you know, create a 0:10:36.240 --> 0:10:39.640 lot of separation. Um. Man, that's gonna be really good 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:42.160 for us down the road. What's he been like? You 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:45.360 are a soft spoken guy, takes the game very seriously. 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:52.640 Elijah's ultra competitor. And then you add g. Garrett to 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:57.560 the equation. He seems like much like yourself, saw spoken, 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:01.079 big time competitor and a guy just wants to get 0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:04.040 it man, And he's he's a little laid back, but 0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.360 he's you know, he's chill, but he's a competitor. Like 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:13.240 you said, um, and dog, it's like I'm trying to 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.600 I'm trying to paint the picture for you. But man, 0:11:16.600 --> 0:11:18.280 he's a great competitor and he's a he's a real 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:20.839 good dude. Um, you know, just walking around the way 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.600 he talks, the way he interacts with everyone around the building. Um, 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:25.679 you know, he's got a lot of leader of characteristics 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.079 and man, he's gonna be great greatness league for sure. 0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:32.360 What's the potential for this group when you're talking about 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:35.640 you three and Braxton back and people shouldn't be sleeping 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.520 on Denzel because he's still on the Micks and Jeff 0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:40.800 Smiths and other sub four four guys we can go 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:42.920 on the list.

What changes from your perspective with the 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:59.439 tight ends the equation now with C G A C 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:04.040 J is Ama Tyler Conklin, your draft, Jeremy Rockert, Um, 0:12:04.200 --> 0:12:08.960 can you talk about the multiplicity that you potentially have offensively? Man, 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:14.800 we got a lot of weapons and I just thinking 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.480 about the tight ends. We've got conk we got we 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:19.840 added Cager Cage to the to the tight end tight 0:12:19.960 --> 0:12:22.720 end mix. Um, he was moving around pretty well there.

If you're someone you know has a gambling 0:13:35.640 --> 0:13:38.040 problem called one D two seven zero seven one one seven, 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:40.800 you didn't run coming out because you banged up coming 0:13:40.800 --> 0:13:44.200 out of college. And when people talk about the speed 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:46.640 on this wide receiver group, obviously to talk about the 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:51.160 lives is some four four talk about Garrett sub four four, 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.200 You talk about Braxton, who was a four four guy. 0:13:54.520 --> 0:13:57.320 You talk about Denzel, who's a sub four four guy. 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:01.440 What do you think you would run or three for three? 0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.760 Now I'm just playing maybe I don't know four or 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:06.720 four or four or five. And I was training my 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.400 first week training, I ran a four or five, So 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:10.520 I felt like I would have got to four four 0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.319 or maybe the high four four. Yeah. Yeah, for being honest, 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:18.959 Michael Fleur, mattal For you've played under both of them. Yeah, okay, 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:24.560 So what's the biggest difference? Dog, They have a lot 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.240 of similarities. I'm not gonna lie. I think Mike got 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.680 a little more to him though, Um, what do you mean? 0:14:30.920 --> 0:14:32.160 I don't know. I just think he got a little 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:36.000 more grit to him, a little tougher than his brother. Yeah, 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.360 I think so. I think so. You know, they're both 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:43.080 really good, really smart man, really good offensive minds, um, 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:46.160 really creative in the way they do things. But yeah, 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:47.680 I would just say you got a little more grit 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.320 to him. Our guys, so and you say toughness, you 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:54.040 say grit, And how does it come out? I mean 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.280 the shows, Um, he's aggressive play caller, he's not afraid 0:14:57.320 --> 0:15:00.360 to to, you know, take the shot, you know I'm saying, 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:02.920 and that's that's something that you want. And that just 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:04.320 shows that he has a lot of trust in us. 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:07.320 What changed for him last year when you guys got 0:15:07.360 --> 0:15:09.720 more plays? Because I know early on in the season 0:15:09.800 --> 0:15:11.480 he's getting a lot of heat. People are like, what 0:15:11.520 --> 0:15:14.840 are you doing? And then finally start converting on through 0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.560 down or having some success early on, and then people 0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.960 are like, well, this is totally changed. Man. Yeah, I 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:23.280 mean it was the same guy. The same guy honestly, 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.800 is just how people are and you know how it is. 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.960 But um, like I said, I'm happy that he's R. O. C. 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:31.640 And he can do a lot with us and and 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.280 move guys around different spots and you know, just be 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:38.120 really creative and his play calling and man, I'm glad 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:41.760 we got him number one out there, the cornerback, the 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:46.000 rookie out of Cincinnati, Maud Gardner. What have you seen 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:50.360 from him? Because he continues to pop on a practice field. 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:53.680 I know it's early, hasn't played in the NFL game yet, 0:15:54.360 --> 0:15:56.960 but there's something to him. No, man, just out there 0:15:56.920 --> 0:16:00.200 while don't go up against him in the the first few days. Yeah, 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:03.200 I see why he's you know, the first big throkeing ball. 0:16:03.320 --> 0:16:06.520 He's physical, he's fast, he can open up UM, and 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.200 he's always locked in. That was the thing about him. 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.680 He's locked in each and every play that we're doing 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:14.400 the walkthroughs out there, and he's locked in during that. Um. 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:15.960 You know, that's good to see in a rook you know, 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.280 just to come in and and have that laser focus 0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:21.400 like he does. Um on top of all the athleticism 0:16:21.400 --> 0:16:23.720 that he has just shows all specially he's gonna be 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.560 Do you teach him because you're a guy who played 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:29.800 a number of seasons on the other side of the ball. 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.920 He's gonna be facing Corey davis Is every week in 0:16:32.920 --> 0:16:35.840 the NFL.

But man, I'm glad I'm playing for him. 0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:28.840 That's legit, isn't it in terms of the character.
