<v Speaker 2>better secondaries in the NFL.

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.520
<v Speaker 1>When that happens, a lot of times, you get other suitors,

0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>you get other places that may want you. What made

0:00:31.800 --> 0:00:32.839
<v Speaker 1>you decide to come back this.

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:36.920
<v Speaker 4>Way, honestly, just just a leadership the coaches. You know

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 4>how we were being led, you know as a team,

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.320
<v Speaker 4>you know, as players. And I felt like these coaches

0:00:42.320 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 4>did a really good job of leading us as men,

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 4>and and it showed on the field. You know a

0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:48.519
<v Speaker 4>lot of people said and like didn't say what we

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 4>were gonna do this year, said what we was gonna

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 4>do this year? And you know, and I feel like

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 4>we exceeded all expectations, honestly, and all the work was

0:00:54.400 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 4>put in here, you know, behind the scenes and the

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.800
<v Speaker 4>meeting rooms. My bad, but you know, so that was

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 4>a anything for me, just just the coaches and the players,

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 4>the bond that we have as a team, you know.

0:01:04.040 --> 0:01:06.080
<v Speaker 4>So you don't get that too many places. So I'm

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 4>glad to be back and get to be a part

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 4>of it again.

0:01:08.520 --> 0:01:11.560
<v Speaker 2>Can you give us more in depth detail on what

0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>specifically makes the leadership here so effective, because that was

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 2>one thing that we've talked to every single person about it.

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.440
<v Speaker 2>Talked about brotherhood, talks about family. Well, this was DQ's

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:22.200
<v Speaker 2>first time in the building. He was new, just like

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 2>the rest of you guys. How was it so effective

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>so quickly?

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.480
<v Speaker 4>I feel like, you know, it's one thing to be

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.559
<v Speaker 4>a leader, and it's crazy. I was reading this book

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:32.399
<v Speaker 4>you know, this morning about leadership, and you know, just

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.760
<v Speaker 4>because you have a leadership role or a title doesn't

0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 4>mean you're a leader, you know. And so I feel

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.040
<v Speaker 4>like we have a lot of coaches who are in

0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 4>leadership roles who are actually good teachers, good leaders, you know,

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:43.400
<v Speaker 4>good men themselves, you know, and so and it shows,

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:45.039
<v Speaker 4>you know, because I feel like if you're not, you know,

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:46.759
<v Speaker 4>it's also going to show in the way you lead.

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.640
<v Speaker 4>And so, like I said, I feel like the players

0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 4>itself showed, you know, the coaching staff, you know, they

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 4>might not have been talked about that much last year,

0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, but even dq know him coming from you

0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.160
<v Speaker 4>know him previous experience head coaching, like he's he's doing

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.600
<v Speaker 4>he's done this before. You know, he's led before. And

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.560
<v Speaker 4>you know, and me being with him in Dallas as well,

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:05.560
<v Speaker 4>I saw that aspect of him as well as he's

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:07.400
<v Speaker 4>just a good teacher man. And he brought other good

0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:09.600
<v Speaker 4>teachers with him, and you know they're able to teach us,

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 4>you know.

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:11.960
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, and in the show, So, how does.

0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 2>A environment like this teach you how to be a

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 2>better leader? Because I think it's dope. First of all,

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 2>you gotta let us know what that book is, man,

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 2>you know, we gotta know. But the fact that you're

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.880
<v Speaker 2>it sounds like you're working on being a better leader.

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 2>You understand how valuable that is. How has this environment

0:02:24.840 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 2>helped hone.

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 4>That just just last year for me, it was as

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.920
<v Speaker 4>a career defining a year for me. It changed my

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 4>whole aspect of life about like what I could do

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.079
<v Speaker 4>as a player, And it started here Man started in

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.240
<v Speaker 4>Oka's last year around this time, and it was a

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 4>built process.

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:38.240
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:40.519
<v Speaker 4>My confidence just kept getting hired and high as the

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 4>season kept going, and it showed, you know, at the

0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 4>end of the year, I think we were like the

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.959
<v Speaker 4>third ranked you know, yes, sir dB rooming in the

0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 4>whole league as far as passing, you know. So, I

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 4>mean that's that's a huge deal, you know. And I

0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 4>remember at the beginning of the season, we won't rank

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 4>that high, you know, And so just the fact that

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:57.680
<v Speaker 4>to see us grow and and and change into that,

0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 4>you know, I really saw, you know, what good leadership

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 4>can do, you know. So it pushed me even myself.

0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 4>You know, I just got mayriored, you know recently, So

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 4>I just stepped into a leadership role is that as well?

0:03:06.320 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 4>You know, But even before that, just leading my family.

0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 4>I'm the oldest of three, you know, so being a

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 4>big brother, so I've always kind of been a leader

0:03:12.720 --> 0:03:15.080
<v Speaker 4>in that way too. So like just just all around,

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:16.600
<v Speaker 4>like what God is doing in my life right now

0:03:16.720 --> 0:03:19.320
<v Speaker 4>is truly amazing. So I had to come back here,

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 4>you know. I just I'm because one number one God

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:24.040
<v Speaker 4>told me to as well. So it just I'm excited

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:24.400
<v Speaker 4>to be back.

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 1>Man. Man, God is good, sir.

0:03:26.520 --> 0:03:30.320
<v Speaker 2>And you said career defining season, that's what it was

0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.680
<v Speaker 2>for you last year? What about the season was career defining?

0:03:33.720 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 2>And then second part of that question, define where you're

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 2>at in your career right now?

0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 4>For us, I feel like it was a stepping zone

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:42.560
<v Speaker 4>in the right direction. You know, coming from Miami, coming

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.640
<v Speaker 4>from Dallas, wasn't really playing that much, you know, so honestly,

0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 4>my confidence wasn't really you know, that high as a player,

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 4>you know, so just coming here last year and everything

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 4>was just worked, everything was earned, and you know, so

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 4>and being in Dallas and practicing and being in the system,

0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, I got to learn the system of course,

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 4>so you know, I had a head start when I

0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.320
<v Speaker 4>came up here in the summer last year. So just

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.760
<v Speaker 4>going through that whole process and the season going how

0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 4>it was, And like I said, I mean we talked

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 4>in the season. Yeah, I didn't know how the season

0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 4>was gonna go. I didn't know exactly how things were

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.080
<v Speaker 4>gonna turn out. But you know, I kept my faith,

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.760
<v Speaker 4>I kept my head down, kept working, and you man,

0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 4>I felt like it was one of the best seasons.

0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.360
<v Speaker 4>Definitely my best season. Ever, you know, I played a lot,

0:04:17.440 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 4>started a lot of games, you know, for these amazing

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.840
<v Speaker 4>coaches and stuff like that. So I'm glad they were

0:04:21.839 --> 0:04:23.800
<v Speaker 4>even trusted me to even do that, you know. So

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.440
<v Speaker 4>like I'm honored to be back as well and see

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 4>a lot of new faces when I walk into the

0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.640
<v Speaker 4>building and see a lot of the same faces as well,

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:31.719

<v Speaker 1>And you earned it.

0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 2>You earned your spot, you talk without those new faces

0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:37.960
<v Speaker 2>in the building. We brought on some new guys adding

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>to an already potent defensive back when we've lost a

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 2>few guys as well. How excited are you to see

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.840

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.360
<v Speaker 2>you got a Will Harris, man some real dogs they've

0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 2>sat here as well. How excited are you to see

0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 2>how you guys can all work together and build that comrade.

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Re up back again.

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.360
<v Speaker 4>I'm super excited. Just like last year, everyone was new,

0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.080
<v Speaker 4>you know, new faces and all that. So we're gonna

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.440
<v Speaker 4>get to do it again, you know. So got some

<v Speaker 4>new faces like Jonathan Throne, Jonathan Jones, Will Harris. You know,

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:05.720
<v Speaker 4>Jonathan's for like went to Auburn. You know, I went

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:07.280
<v Speaker 4>to Arburn too, you know, so you got to hate

0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.960
<v Speaker 4>a connection there too. So it's gonna be decided just

0:05:08.960 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 4>to talk to him. And you know, I mean he's

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 4>experienced too, you know, he started two you know, went

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 4>to Super Bowl. You know, he's played a lot, played

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 4>a lot of ball man, been successful at a lot

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 4>of places, you know. So I'm on to just you know,

<v Speaker 4>be in the room with him kind of we was

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 4>talking about like a lot of more in the season

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.120
<v Speaker 4>stuff like that. It's kind of the same thing, you know.

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:26.600
<v Speaker 4>of young and be able to learn from those guys

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 4>as well, you know, so because I feel that's another

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 4>part of the leadership is being able to learn as well,

0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.920
<v Speaker 4>humble yourself, you know, and not being you know too

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:34.760
<v Speaker 4>like over dramatic by everything all the time.

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.479
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, man, So I'm excited to see you know,

0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 4>him and you know, Will Harris and see you know,

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.120
<v Speaker 4>what we can all do together, you know, and what

0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:42.000
<v Speaker 4>we can create together.

0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.360
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, and this time around is different because last

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 2>year you're still trying to figure things out, Like you said, right,

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>you didn't know what your role would be when now

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.240
<v Speaker 2>you're coming in this second year, They've shown you they

0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:52.560
<v Speaker 2>want to keep you here, They've brought you back. That's

0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of different than what you've dealt with in your career.

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 2>What do you think your role would be now? And

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 2>do you feel that the approach to this offseason is

0:06:01.920 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 2>a little different now that you're in this scenario.

0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 4>I do, and but one of the main things for

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 4>me last year, you know, I talked to these coaches,

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 4>you know, the opportunity was always there. The first thing

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:12.440
<v Speaker 4>when I talked to you know, my coach, you know,

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 4>Jason Simmons, he said, you know you're gonna you're gonna

0:06:14.600 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 4>get to dictate, you know, what your role is. You know,

0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.480
<v Speaker 4>that's the thing I like, you know about being here,

0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 4>is that they let you dictate your role. So you like,

0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.080
<v Speaker 4>whatever you decide you want to do, whatever you work

0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.559
<v Speaker 4>towards and you get and you earn as a player,

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 4>that's what you're gonna get, you know. So I'm excited

0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.480
<v Speaker 4>to get to do that over again. And of course

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 4>with more experience played all last year, you know, so

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 4>I know more, you know, my third year in the

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.840
<v Speaker 4>system as well, you know, so I'm excited to see

0:06:35.839 --> 0:06:37.480
<v Speaker 4>you know what God, you know can do honesty, And

0:06:37.560 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm just a vessel man. So you know, I'm just

0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 4>putting the work in now back in Atlanta, Georgia, you know.

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:43.640
<v Speaker 4>So I'm gonna come back ready in April twenty first,

0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 4>and you know, let's see what happens.

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Man. It seems like DQ and Joe wit Jr.

0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Have a very specific type of player they want on

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.640
<v Speaker 2>their defense, somebody that is extremely versatile. We saw you

0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 2>line up outside, we saw you line up inside and

0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 2>find success in both. Where are you more comfortable lat

0:06:59.080 --> 0:06:59.960
<v Speaker 2>if you could say.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm honestly comfortable wherever they want me. You know, I

0:07:02.400 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 4>can play outside, I can play inside.

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:04.039
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:07:04.040 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 4>Of course I play more inside last year and it

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:08.160
<v Speaker 4>was new for me, but it was exciting and I

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 4>feel like I found a home there as well. But

0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:12.760
<v Speaker 4>you know I want to go back outside too. I

0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 4>won't be able to play both of you know, that's

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 4>a possibility, you know, but you know, all that has

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 4>to be earned, and you know there's gonna be a

0:07:18.320 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 4>time for that to happen and stuff like that.

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.200
<v Speaker 3>So I'll be ready, and you.

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Talk about all of that has to be earned. I

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 2>know you, man, you're a work ethic kind of guy.

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 2>What are those things that you have been working on

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:30.200
<v Speaker 2>and that you look forward to working on this offseason

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:32.400
<v Speaker 2>to better hone that game and allow you to be

0:07:32.400 --> 0:07:34.240
<v Speaker 2>able to go from inside to outside to anywhere on

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 2>the field.

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.600
<v Speaker 4>I would say, you know, I'm already fast, but of course,

0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:40.560
<v Speaker 4>just just keeping the same, like being consistent, you know,

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 4>not taking too much of a break off, you know,

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 4>keeping like your speed work, your strengths and your strength training,

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 4>your dB work, your drills and all that stuff, all

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.120
<v Speaker 4>the little fundamentals because you know, when you get here,

0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 4>your coaches are gonna teach you, you know, their way, You're

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 4>gonna learn the system and stuff like that. But I

0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 4>feel like all the little fundamentals, now, that's what you

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.200
<v Speaker 4>need to be doing, like the footwork, drills, the speed

0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 4>like staying in the weight room, staying strong, little stuff

0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.120
<v Speaker 4>like that, because you get here, you're gonna train and

0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.040
<v Speaker 4>do all that stuff too. So but being ready for

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 4>when that time comes, you know, your body's good.

0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>So yeah, And I love bringing up Joe widd Jr. Man,

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 2>I think what he does is incredible. I think he's underrated.

0:08:11.640 --> 0:08:13.360
<v Speaker 2>I don't think he got enough love for what he

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 2>did with us, especially with that secondary. Now you said

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 2>it third year within his system. Can you talk on

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 2>how you've seen Joe whitgrow as a coordinator. This was

0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 2>his first year as a coordinator, but I think we

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 2>all knew he was ready for the task. Can you

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:27.880
<v Speaker 2>speak on that a little bit in your experience with

0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Joe Wood Jr.

0:08:28.680 --> 0:08:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And how we helped you improved.

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:32.840
<v Speaker 4>Even in Dallas, Man, he had like a in the defense.

0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:34.679
<v Speaker 4>He had a leadership role there too. And you know

0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:36.960
<v Speaker 4>Dallas a couple of years they were there. You know,

0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 4>they were a top defense. You know, he came here
