1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: We are joined now, but one of the favorites on

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:05,520
Speaker 1: this cult roster. I'm talking about number twenty three, Kenny

3
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: Moore joins us. First. Congratulations. I know it's a little premature,

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: but you're going back getting your degree from Valdosta State.

5
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: You're going to graduate this weekend. Congratulations. I was talking

6
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: about this earlier before we start it. It's not easy, Matt.

7
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:21,319
Speaker 1: It's not easy being an NFL player with everything taking

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: care of in your life. But no to go back

9
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: and get that piece of paper. Big congrats to you.

10
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: Kenny, Thanks a lot, and it's good to talk to

11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 2: you all again. I appreciate it.

12
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: How about let's talk some football now. We're going to

13
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: get into the month of May and what it means

14
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: to you down the road a little bit. But going

15
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: from a Matt Eberflus defense into a Gus Bradley defense

16
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: and now having your second a year under your belt

17
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: in a new coordinator situation, the scheme that they run

18
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: similar but always different, it's it comfortability now in Gus

19
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: Bradley's defense.

20
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: For you, I think, like anything, you got to do

21
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: your due diligence and you know, having the first year

22
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: in the defense on to the second. It's a lot

23
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: of things that we can clean up, a lot of

24
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 2: communication that we can fit, and just having the extra

25
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: time with the guys obviously hanging out off the field

26
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: and then even on the field or in the meetings.

27
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: Every second count, so you know, just telling the guys,

28
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: you know, the way that we win the football games

29
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: in the falls, right here in the spring, So just

30
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: trying to make every day count. Obviously I wasn't here

31
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 2: last spring, but being in the room now, being on

32
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: the field now, to build that time with the teammates

33
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 2: and have a shown face and just to build that time,

34
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,679
Speaker 2: it means a lot to me personally.

35
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: Last year obviously didn't go the way from a team

36
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 3: perspective that you guys wanted to go. Certainly from an

37
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: individual standpoint, last year didn't go the way you wanted

38
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: it to go. How much communication was there in the

39
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: off season between you and the coaching staff to make

40
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 3: sure this year collectively everything was trending in a better

41
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 3: direction for twenty twenty three as it pertains to this

42
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: defense and your involvement inside of it.

43
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 2: I mean, just to be right here sitting with you guys,

44
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of communication had to take place.

45
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: It was very important to me and individually just to

46
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: honestly just wind back to timeline, talk about everything that

47
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: took place, and just to you know, be able to

48
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: own up to everything on both sides and you know,

49
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: just have that open space that we can you know,

50
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 2: talk about what was wrong with me or them or

51
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: all of us, you know, spiritually, emotionally, mentally, everything that

52
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 2: that that transpired. And just to be able to clear

53
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,679
Speaker 2: the room was something that I'm thankful for, just to

54
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: be able to have a voice.

55
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's it's a it's a two way street, right,

56
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: I mean, that's the coachy that I mean, Ron Miles

57
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: and Gus Bradley, they've talked about they got to do

58
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 3: their part to put you and everybody else on defense

59
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: in the best situation possible. How much respect do you

60
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 3: have for those guys to have the flexibility in order

61
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 3: to to listen and to learn and to grow and

62
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 3: hear from the players.

63
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: I mean, just to be in a workplace where you know,

64
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 2: we can, you know, state how we feel and then

65
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: you know, you stand on that and then be able

66
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: to hear from somebody else's point of view.

67
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 4: You know, maybe down the.

68
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: Line, something happened, and you didn't know how you know,

69
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: they really meant by you know, those actions, or they

70
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: didn't know how I meant by you know, whatever I

71
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 2: said or whatever I did. But to just you know,

72
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 2: backtrack and just be in a respectful place to where

73
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: we can be on common ground.

74
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: That goes a long way, and.

75
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: It's something that I'm truly thankful for, you know, once again,

76
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: just being side by side and trying to you know,

77
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: win some ball games.

78
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: Canny if you could compare what it was like last

79
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: season a little bit, because it's tough. You have a

80
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: coaching change in the middle of the season. Uh, you know,

81
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: new coach comes in and everything everybody's scrambling at that point,

82
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, a few months later, there's.

83
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: A new rebirth.

84
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 1: Shane Steichen's here draft is a successful one, et cetera.

85
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: To flip that switch. How tough is it for you

86
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: as a veteran.

87
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: It just comes down to loving ball and loving what

88
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: I do, you know. Dialing back in the off season, obviously,

89
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 2: I had to get cleared month of February, getting cleared,

90
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 2: uh the first week of March, and then just building

91
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: that time training and preparing for UH this spring. It's

92
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 2: been a lot of talks with you know, myself, my family. God,

93
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 2: it's been a lot of.

94
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 4: Of those things to take place.

95
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: But you know, here I am, so I'm in a

96
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 2: great place and I'm ready to go for kach Shane

97
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: and just ready to put it all on the line

98
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: for the team, put it all on the line for UH,

99
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: the city that I come from.

100
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 3: And you talk about missing the last month or so

101
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: of last season with that ankle, can you put into

102
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: perspective how much pain you were in because for you

103
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 3: to not play, that's a big deal. And how tough

104
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 3: was it to not be there for the team during

105
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: that back half of the season and during that losing

106
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: streak to end the season.

107
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about it today, you know, just having

108
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: that the presence missed in the last month, you know,

109
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 2: there was a lot of explosures that we that we're

110
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: giving up runner pass in the last you know, five

111
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: or six games of the season. Honestly, I'm just trying

112
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: to change the page, flipped the page from all that

113
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,679
Speaker 2: happened and just trying to make more moments great moments

114
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: as with that been and say it was it was

115
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 2: tough obviously, being down, down and out and not being

116
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 2: in the room with the guys you know, on the field.

117
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: You know, I was obviously here just trying to play

118
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: my role, play my part. You know, I obviously had

119
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: a new role from being injured, but I still had

120
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: a job to do, and I was communicate with the

121
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: guys that was in the ball game. You know, I

122
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: had to communicate with Julian. You know, this crack toss come,

123
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: you probably gotta get in. You gotta clear the highway,

124
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: you got to make room for to give get over top.

125
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of It was a lot of

126
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 2: new things going on with not just myself but others

Speaker 2: around me. And you know, my new role was just

128
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 2: to be even bigger leaders. So I just want to.

129
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 4: The feel that Kenny, you're a veteran.

Speaker 1: around you, some big, young athletic guys that we got

133
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: out of the draft. As a veteran. Is this something

134
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,320

Speaker 2: and you know, I talked to them every single day

159
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: like we got to do this together. Like it's not me,

160
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: you know, telling you guys what to do or how

161
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: it's you know, gonna be done. But you know, I'm

162
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: more sole lead by example and we're gonna take charge

163
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: like that.

164
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 4: M h.

165
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 2: However, I do gotta lead more, uh in a in

166
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,679
Speaker 2: a bigger role, and you know, just having the guys

167
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: over to the house, spending more time with them in

168
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: the training room or before after practice, having that communication

169
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: through test, you know, on a daily basis, and just

170
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: getting everybody to to honestly just be more open and

171
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: have more communication, you know, whether it's during the week

172
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 2: or on the weekends, just just getting to know each

173
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 2: other because I know, you know, when the bullets start

174
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 2: flying and we on the field and its third down,

175
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: we gotta have it and we we we're depending on

176
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: each other to be in certain spots like I gotta

177
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 2: I gotta know that you're gonna be there, and I

178
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: gotta go harder for you. So, you know, the more

179
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: time that we spend off the field, the more time

180
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: we spent on the field, just just putting that time

181
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: in the better will be when when things when when

182
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 2: our bats are against the wall.

183
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 3: All right, I got a two parter on on Anthony

184
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 3: richardson a what's your excitement level to have him competing

185
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: to play quarter back next year as a rookie drafted

186
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 3: fourth overall. And the second part of that question is

187
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 3: from a defensive angle, how tough is it to face

188
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: a guy like that with his skill set when you're

189
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: trying to stop all that he can do at the

190
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 3: quarterback position.

191
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 4: My excitement level, like you want to, you want me

192
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 4: to give you a number, Yeah, whatever.

193
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm very excited for the young boy to the

194
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: young kid, you know, a young man. I would say,

195
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: with all respect, the young man just to just come

196
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 2: in and beat him and whatever role that they have

197
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: for him, whatever role that coach Shane gives him, that

198
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 2: he flourished and that and he prosper within that role

199
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 2: and just you know, make everybody else around him even better.

200
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: And I think that's the true leader, once you make

201
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: everybody around you better. And like you said, playing a

202
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 2: dual quarterback like himself, I remember those times whenever we

203
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: were playing Watson in Houston, right, and those times like that,

204
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: he can make you undisciplined, and you know, whenever he

205
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: begins to scramble, he's rolling out of the pocket. And

206
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 2: you got a guy that you got a guard, or

207
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 2: you're covering a certain part of the zone. You don't

208
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 2: know whether or not someone is behind you or if

209
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,319
Speaker 2: you should just go get him because you know the

210
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: rush broke down. So I'm really glad to have one

211
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 2: of those guys on my side of the bass and

212
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 2: see how other people react to it.

213
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: But that's a scary thought, what you just said, because

214
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: you have to make that decision that any moore makes

215
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: in an eighth of a second. Oh do I stay

216
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: or should I go? I mean, right there, when you're

217
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 1: playing somebody like.

218
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 4: This, sometimes you write sometimes you're right, right right.

219
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: Here's what I'm gonna say about Anthony Richardson. This young

220
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: man is gonna make that much young man a better

221
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: professional by picking him off and as many practices as

222
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: you can and making him better. I'm serious like that.

223
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: It takes veterans like this to make young quarterbacks. I've

224
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: seen it through the years. To make him better. That's

225
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: your job in this spring and then coming in the

226
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 1: next season, pick off Anthony Richardson.

227
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: Let's make him better, yes, sir, and it'll be It'll

228
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 2: be definitely vice versa. You know, if I'm showing him

229
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: certain looks you know, if if I'm showing him certain

230
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: looks and he thinks, you know, I'm telling in it

231
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,680
Speaker 2: too much. You know, I do this with Garner now,

232
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 2: you know, you let me know because that's going to

233
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 2: help me versus another quarterback. And if I'm giving him

234
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: good looks, you know, I'm telling him, Hey, we're in

235
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 2: this right here. We got to because I'm trying to

236
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 2: make him better as well. So that's just how it's

237
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 2: supposed to be, all.

238
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: Right, Last one for me, I want to double back

239
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 3: to what we talked about at the top for you. Congratulations, Jeffrey.

240
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 3: We're talking to a Hall of Famer here, Kenny Moore.

241
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: By the way, it was inducted, he was a part

242
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 3: of the twenty twenty three class of the Gulf South

243
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,480
Speaker 3: Conference Hall of Fame, playing at Valdosa State. Right, that

244
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 3: was early in April. Congratulations on that. You just graduated

245
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: college and you majored in organizational leadership, minors in political

246
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 3: science and public administration. How much were you studying? Were

247
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 3: you taking classes during the season to get this done?

248
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 4: What did that entail?

249
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: I so after my first and second year, I went

250
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 2: back to school in the off season. Yeah, I probably

251
00:10:57,320 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 2: took a class in the spring, and you take a

252
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 2: class like a may master or summer class, so you have,

253
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: you know, two or three different times that you can

254
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: take classes. Obviously, when the season comes back around, you

255
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: don't want to sure be too caught up. So I

256
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 2: like to keep the main thing, the main thing, most

257
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: most of everything. And so after my first and second

258
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: year I took classes. I didn't go back third or

259
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: fourth year. I went back my fifth and then after

260
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 2: my six. So I just had two classes this past spring.

261
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: I just finished up classes. Great, awesome, yep.

262
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: That's great congratulation from me.

263
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 1: I would have been like, I screw it.

264
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 3: No, I'm no surprise, no surprise that.

265
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: I actually remember a lot of conversations after my first year.

266
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 2: We were all talking about what we're going to do

267
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 2: in the off season. I'm like, I got to go

268
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 2: back to school, and a lot of guys are like, hey,

269
00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 2: I'm a millionaire, I don't have to do that.

270
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 4: You know, I'm this guy or whatever.

271
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 3: But why was it so important for you to do that.

272
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: I sort of made my mom a promise. A couple

273
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: of weeks before my last college football game, we were

274
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: getting ready for the We ended up playing the UNC pinbroke.

275
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,959
Speaker 2: I dropped out of school after that, had two All

276
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,839
Speaker 2: Star games in Daytona, came to Indy ironically to train

277
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,840
Speaker 2: right before the draft came up. And so let's rewind

278
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 2: back to the last couple of games of the season.

279
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: My last year in twenty sixteen, I was in the

280
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,200
Speaker 2: kitchen and I was telling my mother and my grandmother

281
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 2: that I was going to drop out of school once

282
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,959
Speaker 2: the season hit. And I didn't know at this point

283
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: if we were going to the playoffs or whatever. All

284
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 2: I knew was at some point down the road, I

285
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: think this is all I got for college. And so

286
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,720
Speaker 2: it was a lot of you know, chatter within the family,

287
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: and they weren't really proud of the decision that I

288
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 2: had made at that time, and respectfully, I was like,

289
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 2: you know, I think this is just the time of

290
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: my life that I.

291
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 3: Got to focus on football.

292
00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: I gotta do what I want to do.

293
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, traditionally in my family, you you

294
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: go to college, you work, you know what I mean,

295
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: it is to that's our American dream and you're not

296
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: leaving for athletics. And so because we had never seen

297
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 2: that in my family before, but I was just telling

298
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 2: my mom, Hey mom, this is this is just how

299
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: the athletes do it. Like you, I can't wait to

300
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 2: graduate college and then figure out the league. That's not

301
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 2: how sports work. So I was like, if anything, if

302
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 2: I don't, if I'm not good enough for the league,

303
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:27,839
Speaker 2: I'm gonna accept that and i'ma embrace it, and I'll

304
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 2: just come back to school and I'll get my degree.

305
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 2: So my family they just kind of just dealt with it.

306
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: And I had to just prove to my family how

307
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,199
Speaker 2: good I was in football first and and and then

308
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,880
Speaker 2: obviously going back to school.

309
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 4: I didn't. I didn't always tell my mom whenever I.

310
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 2: Was back in school because I just wanted to be like,

311
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: hey mom, get my degree this year. Like it finally

312
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,880
