He was like, look, 507 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: you know, I you know, stand by Locks. And everything, and. 508 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 3: He'll make sure that you get to where you need 509 00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:47,520 Speaker 3: to get to. So I was like, all right, like 510 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 3: you know my mom, you know, always make sure my 511 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: mom co signs. And then she was like, I really 512 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 3: think you do well at Maryland. And I was like, 513 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 3: I don't really want to hear that right now, but 514 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,439 Speaker 3: if that's what you're thinking, Like, all right, you know, 515 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 3: I will try it out. So you know, I signed 516 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 3: in Maryland. I was like, I gonna go here and 517 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 3: do what I need to do and get out of here. 518 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: So when you reflect on that, then you know how 519 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: valuable and rewarding was it to have those three years 520 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: at Maryland? 521 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 2: Oh? It was. It was good. 522 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 3: You definitely had to compete against yourself every day, you 523 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying. Obviously Maryland isn't an Ohio state 524 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 3: or a Penn state and stuff, so you know, talent level, 525 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 3: you know, wasn't at the time when I got. 526 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,000 Speaker 2: There, it wasn't to that extent. 527 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 3: So it's really just you know, coming in as one 528 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 3: of the better players on the team, you had to 529 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 3: push yourself a little more. 530 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 2: You had to. 531 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 3: You really would competing with yourself, you know, because I 532 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,920 Speaker 3: came in halfway through my freshman year, I was starting. 533 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,520 Speaker 3: So it was like, you know, I've arrived in that sense, Okay, 534 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 3: like I'm playing. I'm just trying to push the envelope 535 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 3: every year. You know, Locks brought and great coaches. Coach Hope, 536 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 3: who I don't know, he coached in the NFL for 537 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 3: a long time, Henry Baker, he coaches the Temple now. 538 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 2: So he brought in great coaches to coach me. 539 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 3: And you know they continue to push, push the endblo, 540 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 3: push the bar until you know, I was able to 541 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 3: get here. 542 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 1: So you you were a kind of an early starter 543 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: at Maryland. You get to the NFL, you're an early 544 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,560 Speaker 1: starter here, you start those first two games of your 545 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: rookie year and then uh, you know the decisions made 546 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,439 Speaker 1: to kind of have you take a step back. Was 547 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: that hard for you to go through that? How did 548 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: you kind of mentally handle that that first year and 549 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: ended that second year? 550 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 3: So it was definitely hard. You know, you're twenty years old, 551 00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 3: twenty one, you know. 552 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: A starter in the league. 553 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, started that season. 554 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 3: So it was hard to be able to you know, 555 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:36,480 Speaker 3: do that. You know, obviously it was a lot. You know, 556 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 3: I'll come on with big expectations. Jo I'm gonna go 557 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 3: do this, do that, and you know, when they kind 558 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 3: of flopped, I was like, you know, I'm out here 559 00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:45,360 Speaker 3: in a new place, you know, don't know anybody, parents, 560 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 3: you know, eight nine hours away, friends eight nine hours away. 561 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,239 Speaker 3: So it was just me and myself, and I was, 562 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,119 Speaker 3: you know, I was struggling. I was like, man, like, 563 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 3: you know, team was doing bad. I wasn't doing the greatest. 564 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 3: And I was just like, I'm in Indianapolis. I've never 565 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 3: been here before. Starting to get cold, you know, and everything, 566 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 3: and I was like, you know, so it was rough, 567 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 3: you know, coming in every day and you know again 568 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 3: the stuff, you know, with head coach getting fired, bringing 569 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 3: in Jeff Saturdays, you know, losing you know, not playing 570 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 3: and all that stuff. It was it definitely took a toll. 571 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 3: But you know, after that season, my agent that, look, 572 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,159 Speaker 3: you got to get you therapist because you need to 573 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 3: figure out what's wrong with. 574 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,439 Speaker 2: Like, not what's wrong with me, but like you know, how. 575 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,119 Speaker 3: To get yourself, you know, out of this. And you know, 576 00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 3: following the season, it's kind of a side really said, Okay, 577 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 3: I can start fresh, you. 578 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,119 Speaker 2: Know, get myself together. 579 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 3: And now that I've gotten my taste of the NFL, 580 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 3: and I know what I got to do to you know, 581 00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 3: make the adjustments and move forward. 582 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: What was that in that second year? Like where you're 583 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 1: you're on special teams quite a bit, and then you 584 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 1: kind of get toward the end of the season. I 585 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: remember that game against Pittsburgh gave the pick, you start 586 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: playing a little more on defense. Was that just sort 587 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 1: of like a you kind of been through it and 588 00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: you're like, how do you come out on the other 589 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:00,040 Speaker 1: end of that? 590 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 3: Basically that's when I really started to be more you know, 591 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,640 Speaker 3: I feel like rookie year is more about the end goal, 592 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:07,639 Speaker 3: like okay, like. 593 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 2: Whatever, to get to the end goal. 594 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 3: You know, whatever the goal was, it was just about 595 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 3: accomplishing the end goal. And I feel like my second 596 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 3: year is when I really started just honing it on, 597 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 3: you know, the process of the every day, you know, 598 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 3: the working out, the film study, to making sure to 599 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 3: take walk through seriously, to practice seriously, and knowing that 600 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 3: the Sundays will. 601 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,240 Speaker 2: Take care of themselves. I feel like that was the 602 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 2: biggest thing. 603 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 3: And I feel like, you know, the beginning of season, 604 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 3: obviously I wasn't plan but you know, I didn't allow 605 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,959 Speaker 3: that to discourage me because I knew at the end 606 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 3: of the day the work was being put in. I 607 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 3: knew that at some point it would come to fruition, 608 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 3: just didn't know when. So when it finally started coming through, 609 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 3: it was like all right, Like you know, it gave 610 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 3: kind of the co sign that I needed, okay, like 611 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,120 Speaker 3: to work. Actually, like this way of doing things actually 612 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 3: does work. 613 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: Is it now rewarding to reflect back on that? And 614 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,159 Speaker 1: you know, see, not only are you starting and you know, 615 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: getting a ton of tackles, makeing a ton of plays, 616 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 1: but this team's five and one.
