00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: bill great. How are you doing? I'm doing well, staying

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: safe book you are too. I wanted to ask you

4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: about your versatility and for Junia check and um, was

5
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: that something that evolved over your time there or was

6
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: that something that you hit the ground running knowing that

7
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: you could do a lot of different things? And I

8
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 1: guess how will that? How do you think your versatility

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: will translate at the NFL level? Um? Yeah, I mean

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: what of those that I think they're trying to do

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: a lot of different things with you? Is awesome that

12
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 1: you trusting me so many different things? And um, I

13
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: think it says a lot you know about I'm mostoble

14
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 1: to there, and um that's why I'm sure excited. You know.

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 1: I got to say about the pages because I think

16
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: they do so many different things they're tryd to end

17
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: maybe it's created there. Um well I couldn't be happy

18
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: right now as well? And thank you all right. Next

19
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: question adult, Congrats on being drafted. Obviously it worked out

20
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: well for you, But what went into the decision to

21
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 1: leave Virginia Tech early and declare for the draft? Well,

22
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: I just think you was probably going back another year.

23
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: I felt like he'd been really hopefully imcrouding my draft

24
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: talk a lot um because you didn't change the water

25
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: on off phant and my production probably didn't have some

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: crazy increase. So I want to make a career out

27
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: of here, and that's the case. I need to come

28
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: out now and run out of it. Um. You know now,

29
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: I really feel like I masion like excusion. Obviously, happy

30
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: to see if they all and just one full of question.

31
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: Obviously the Patriots had a very good tight end Gere

32
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: for for a number of years. Was Rob Bronkowski a

33
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: player that you looked up to in your young career? Yeah,

34
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: he was definitely from the Washington. Um. I think he

35
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: who probably best there is. UM, so it was really

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: cool to Washington. I mean, it's kind of crazy that

37
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: I'm playing for the same team that you want was

38
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: because I was really good, um Washington on TV. It's

39
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: just crazy that I'm I'm meaning see right now as

40
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: next question, Nial, thanks Stacy, Hey Dalton, how are you

41
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 1: being good? I'm great? So I actually want to ask you,

42
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: when you know, just growing up or gone high school college,

43
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: which players did you look up to and who would

44
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: you say you've tried to model your game after Well,

45
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: I used to be quarterback actually, um, you know, growing

46
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: up all the little league, high school, so I was

47
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: really manning fan actually that I had a Manning back

48
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: hit on my wa cold. Uh, he's probably by from

49
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: one I was song, you know whatever I was the

50
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: days he probably and uh just just now you know,

51
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: entering the NFL, are there you know any fad ends

52
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: that you you know, you watching film or any players

53
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: that you watching film to try to take things away

54
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 1: from them to add to your game. Yeah, I think

55
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: probably the bed for me. Fili. I think he's a

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: superst the tide dum. You know they do a lot

57
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: of different things. Do you never to do you know

58
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: a lot of things probably play flow like so foth players, Uh,

59
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: you know, proditional tiens. How can keep those all that? Really? Well?

60
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: Thank you? Next question m M. I got dot. Welcome

61
00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 1: to England. Thank you. Um, you know I'll side teams

62
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: in the NFL there, you know, there are some teams

63
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: that are struggling with losing records, some teams that are winning,

64
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: and some teams of course the championship pedigree, the Patriots

65
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: of course winning tradition championship pedigree. I'm wondering in your mind,

66
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: before you knew what team you were, you were going

67
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: to be drafted. By the fact you are drafted by

68
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: a team that has a championship pedigree, winning organization versus

69
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: a team that's not so successful, has a change in

70
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: how you approach. Um, you know what's ahead. Um. I

71
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: also as well as one that I have talked about

72
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: us cult and start morss, you know, the woman cultures,

73
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 1: just saying about the working hard I think that really

74
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: community players. My coach I Buck basically I asked, you

75
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: don't say you build the work every single day, and

76
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,919
Speaker 1: I thought, you know that's something that really on this program.

77
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: Well great, thanks something. Welcome our next quession, Jimmic Bride Steel,

79
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: the Patriots during the pre draft process, and we're surprised

80
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: at all considering the Patriots that take in the tight

81
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: end in their previous thick Um, I gotta get tomorrow pop.
