1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Hi, Devin, Um, how are you. I'm doing well? How

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: are you? Yeah, and doing well. I sort of wanted

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: to start there just because I know you had some

4
00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: you know, personal loss there in the middle of the year.

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: So just um, I just want to ask you how

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 1: you're hanging in with everything. I'm doing. I'm doing well,

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: you know, definitely. You know, I had to incident that

8
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,960
Speaker 1: happened in the middle of the season. I don't want

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: to go too much into it, but you know I

10
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: got time to you know, spell my family and and

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: uh and deal with that situation. But I'm glad to

12
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: be back. I'm glad to be back with the team.

13
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: And you know, going on with the season that that

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: that that time that you were away, Um, you know,

15
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: when you were on the injured reserve, how much of

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: that was Um? Do you do you feel like sort

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: of set you back a little bit football wise? If

18
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: at all? Um? Not really, I mean to be honest,

19
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: you know, at that point, I was just really focused

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: on my family and you know, not to say that

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: I wasn't focused on the team, but you know, the

22
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: incident that happened, it's just something that you know, really

23
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: hit close to home. So you know, I think I

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: took that time a way to really handle my family situation.

25
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: But then now I'm focused and getting ready to get

26
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: back on that field more and more and help this

27
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: team get my wins. And when we look to just

28
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: the football, Devin, how would you sort of describe what

29
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: this rookie season has been for you? I mean, I

30
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: think it's been, you know, like a usual rookie season.

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, if there's ups and downs, there's

32
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: things you can learn from, things that you can grow from,

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: and obviously things you can build off of. And you know, me,

34
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to you know, know all my assignments,

35
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: you know, be be accountable, being relied on out there

36
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: on the field whenever my number is called or whenever

37
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm in the game. So for me,

38
00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: it's just being able to you know, going out there

39
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: and execute. Next question, Nichole Mally, Devin Um, how would

40
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: you say you're coming along so far the season in

41
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: terms of a blocker and as a receiver. I's just

42
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: still trying to get more involved in the passing game.

43
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 1: I think I'm coming along well. You know, I just

44
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: got to credit credit all my coaches for them for

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 1: the work they put in with me, and you know

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: the work I put in with them each and every day.

47
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: You know, I'm getting with coach Kelly obviously. You know

48
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: Coach McDaniels obviously, you know how intelligent he is and

49
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: on the offensive side, getting them coaching points from them,

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: and you know, just getting better each and every week.

51
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: You know, I think me and Coach Kelly got a

52
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 1: very good relationship, and you know I can count him

53
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: whenever I need to ask any questions about anything, or

54
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: whenever I got any questions about you know, situations in

55
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: the game, techniques and stuff like that. So you know,

56
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: I think I'm coming along, but you know, there's obviously

57
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: more room to grow, um things to learn, and you know,

58
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: I'm confident in my coaches and myself to keep getting

59
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: better and better every day. In this organization, there are

60
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: a lot of the examples of guys who spent their

61
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: rookie year or learning and building that foundation similar or

62
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: what we've seen you to be going through this year,

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: whether it's Damien last year or even going back Julian

64
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: when he was starting out of his career. UM, have

65
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: you seen any inspiration from those guys or have you

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: drawn any insight from them as you navigate your first season. Man.

67
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: To be honest, I draw you know, inspiration from each

68
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: and every one of the veterans um when I can't,

69
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: you know, seeing how hard they work, you know, seeing

70
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: how you know detail they are in their preparation and

71
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: things like that. You know, I'm trying to improve that

72
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: that part of my game and my preparation and things

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: like that. So they definitely, you know, have a great

74
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: influence on on myself and in my rookie season and

75
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 1: just trying to you know, basically find find our way

76
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,960

79
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: Just wondering, um, what it was like. We haven't spoken

80
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: to you being able to go back and train out

81
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: at UCLA. Were you a bigger man on campus than

82
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: Matt Slayer or who ruled in that situation? That's definitely

83
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: Matt Slayer's land right there, you know, so I'll give

84
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: it to him. You know what I'm saying. I got

85
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do for myself, so you know,

86
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: it was just good to be back there, you know,

87
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: seeing the familiar places, seeing the facilities, and you know,

88
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: kind of going down the memory lane, and you know

89
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: it was only a couple of months ago that I

90
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: was back there, and and to be back on that campus,

91
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, with the team and know, it's just it

92
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: was kind of threw to me, you know. So it

93
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 1: was definitely a kind of a blessing going out there

94
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 1: and you know, seeing that campus once again. So I

95
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: was really done. It was really dope. That's great. Um,

96
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: the final three games, Uh, you know, assuming you play,

97
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: is there anything you'd like kind of to perhaps uh

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: leave a stamp on the season for yourself or you know,

99
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: put something forward that you can build off of. Definitely

100
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 1: just being you know reliable on the field. Um to

101
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: my coaches. You know, I want to be able to

102
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: have their trust, have their their trust when I'm out

103
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: there on the field, so they don't you know, have

104
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 1: any um I guess, doubts that I that I condensed

105
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: play up and things like that. So for myself, I think,

106

111
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: the level I think I'm capable of executed. So for me,

112
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: it's just that played and simple, you know, knowing what

113
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: I gotta do, being reliable, be in trustable, and then
