1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Was you guess about over there?

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 2: Uh, we were just talking through a specific play that

3
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,000
Speaker 2: we just put in and Dave was like raving about

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: it and he said he was the reason that we

5
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: got to put it in.

6
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 1: So I'm just kind of talking through that a little bit.

7
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 2: You know, he's he's one of the best to do

8
00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: it and always good to get some insight from him.

9
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: What was your reaction when Lebron posted that thing about

10
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 2: your last month and how much did he mean to

11
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: you growing up?

12
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: Yeah? Well he was.

13
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: He was always an idol, you know, for me and

14
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 2: all my friends like from the city, because he was

15
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: the first person like that we saw make it and

16
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: make it, make it big.

17
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: So he's always been an idol.

18
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 2: But he's also been a guy that always supports not

19
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 2: only me, but other athletes in the city. So it's

20
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 2: always special and it means a lot, you know when

21
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,319
Speaker 2: he when he can say something supportive or do something

22
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 2: like that.

23
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: So do you know, have you Yeah?

24
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I met many a bunch of times. I have

25
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 2: good conversations with him. Good, good guy, great guy. How

26
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: you're looking forward to facing another team in a different

27
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: uniform this week?

28
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: I can't wait. I can't wait.

29
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 2: Just super excited, you know, to put what we've been

30
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: working on and practice you know against another opponent.

31
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: You know, our defense.

32
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: You know, they kind of got an idea of what

33
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: we're doing nine times out of ten. So sometimes it

34
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: could be frustrated in practice, but I'm definitely excited to

35
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 2: put some film out there and compete with some other talent.

36
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: Because we've all seen Jalen Hight's speed that he was

37
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: impressed with. Beyond that, what have you seen from him

38
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: so far to you like he's been impressed with.

39
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think just his obviously his speed, but just

40
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: like his playmaking ability. It's like every time he's out there,

41
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: like he's catching a deep pass and he's making a play,

42
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: and like I've seen him come in and kind of

43
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: be shy, kind of be timid, but then kind of

44
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 2: just break out, you know, into who he is and

45
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: showing you know, his personality and stuff like that.

46
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: So you know, everybody was once a rookie, so I

47
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: know how it was.

48
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: But you can also see just his confidence growing in

49
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 2: each play that he makes, and I think that's just

50
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: going to continue you to build obviously important two days

51
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: in Detroit, so he's going to get some composition out there,

52
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: just continue to keep building and then once the preseason hit,

53
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: continue to keep building.

54
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: So it's kind of cool to just kind of see

55
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: him go through the ropes.

56
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 2: Do you think this is a particularly complicated or difficult

57
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 2: scheme for a rookie receiver to have to learn?

58
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: One hundred percent?

59
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: Just Daves and caf Man like their offensive gurus, like

60
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: they really know what they're doing, and like Daves is

61
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: just so he has so much in his arsenal. He

62
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: wants to always keep the defense guessing. So, I mean,

63
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: we've got a lot of different players, a lot of

64
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 2: different things to learn.

65
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 1: So, Shot, it's tough for me.

66
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,640
Speaker 2: I'm a free agencign Like, it's tough for me, So

67
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: I can only imagine like just being a rookie and

68
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: kind of doing.

69
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: It all over again.

70
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, but he he, he studies. Obviously,

71
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: he studies, he works, he grinds, and you know it

72
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: was paying off on the Oh, yeah, for sure. I

73
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: mean obviously, obviously a rookie is always gonna have some hiccups.

74
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: Shoot, everybody is. But he's done a really good job.

75
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: What do you consider the biggest challenge for keep receiver? Curious?

76
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 2: Uh shoot, uh, not only rookie receivers, but I feel

77
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 2: like rookies in general kind of just like having that

78
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: moment to know that you belong in the league and

79
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: know that you're you're supposed to be here.

80
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: I think, like I said, it goes back to like

81
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: just building that confidence.

82
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 2: I think once you have that confidence and know like

83
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: I can play with these guys like I'm supposed to

84
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 2: be here, then like things just take off for you

85
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: because it's I mean, it's something new, it's something different,

86
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: Like everybody's everybody's good at this love.

87
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: Everybody's fast.

88
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: Every Like you talk about all that speed, but everybody's

89
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: fast from the Yeah. Yeah, for sure, That's what I'm saying.

90
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,519
Speaker 2: Like he continues to make those players that confidence just

91
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: keeps building.

92
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: So is this a year for you just to show

93
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: you stay healthy two years in a row and get

94
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: more than a one year deal? Yeah?

95
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like every year is pivotal. You know,

96
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: no matter who you are, no matter what your what,

97
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 2: what your deal is, what your contract is, every year

98
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: is pivotal because you gotta you gotta earn your job

99
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: every single day in this league. And yeah, I mean

100
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: for me, it's definitely a pivotal time in my career.

101
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 2: I'm excited for this new and fresh opportunity to be here.

102
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm excited.

103
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: Did you feel unlucky the first three years with the

104
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: way he got Yeah.

105
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 2: Hundred percent, I said. I mean I say this all

106
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 2: the time, like, I just feel like I had some

107
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: unlucky breaks. Hopefully I got all the injury history out

108
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 2: on the frontend, So just excited for you know, what's

109
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 2: Could you agree that you and Daniel have some pretty

110
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: good chemistry already? Yeah, man, I mean I think I

111
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 2: think it's continued to build each and every day.

112
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: But I think, uh, you know, the stuff we did.

113
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 2: In the off season, the throwing trips, getting together obviously

114
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: OTA's and just all that stuff, accumulation has started off

115
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: to be, you know, just a great rapport between us.

116
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 2: But it's it's still early. We got a long way

117
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 2: to go, a long way to build. And once again,

118
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: I'm excited to go to Detroit and you know, put

119
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,559
Speaker 2: that to the test and continue to keep building. But definitely,

120
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: I feel like we're in a good spot. Do you

121
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: think said it again? What do you think him as

122
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: a quarterback man?

123
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 1: He's awesome.

124
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 2: I always say this when anyone asks Me's like, he

125
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: doesn't get enough credit for how hard he works in

126
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: the time that he puts in Like when I got

127
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 2: when I first got here, just seeing him like in

128
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: the weight room, like just grind and putting in the work,

129
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 2: like watching film whatever it is, Like this dude is

130
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: he's grinding all hours of the day. And obviously that's

131
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: something that the outside world is not going to see

132
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: or ever going to see, but like that's what makes

133
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: you good once you step in between these lines and

134
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 2: you know he's he's not shy of putting it in

135
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: the work. Bend. A lot of quarterbacks too, Like I

136
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 2: think that's almost uh standard beyond that.

137
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think so. And then again too

138
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: and with Daniel, uh, he's.

139
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 2: He's kind of the first quarterback I had relatively close

140
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: in my age, like basically the same same age, got

141
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 2: in the same draft class. So I feel like it's

142
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 2: easier to relate to him in certain ways. So he's,

143
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,160
Speaker 2: like I said, like he's he's working all hours of

144
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 2: the day, man, Like, like I'm not kidding you, Like

145
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 2: it's it's all hours of day. So it's just pretty

146
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: cool to see and it's pretty cool to be able

147
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: to kind of relate more personal level.

148
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: What's the difference between and a quarterback is a little

149
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: bit older and yeah, yeah, I think.

150
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: I mean I played with a lot of different guys,

151
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 2: and I would say, like the older quarterbacks are kind

152
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 2: of like, you know, this is the way that it's

153
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: going to be done, and they kind of have their way.

154
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: I mean, especially for a guy like Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan,

155
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: Like these guys have done it for a long time,

156
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 2: probably gonna be Hall of Fame quarterbacks.

157
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: Like they know their way, they have their way.

158
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 2: And I feel like with Daniel, like he's just more
