I got injured a lot though, and like 514 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 2: I went through a lot of adversity, and that really 515 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 2: taught me, like throughout life, you can get a lot 516 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 2: of adversity. That made me think like, Okay, it's not 517 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,879 Speaker 2: the end of everything, because each injury it wasn't an end. 518 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 2: It was all temporary. And I got back on that 519 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 2: field and just trusting in the process and trusting in 520 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 2: that path. But thank God that gave me and my 521 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 2: family and supporting us to get through everything. 522 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 3: And you get to East Carolina first year, twenty twenty one, 523 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 3: you get injured. Twenty two, you get injured. 524 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I broke my hand. 525 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 3: How are you dealing with all that? 526 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 2: First off, I was dealing with the plays because it 527 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:40,760 Speaker 2: was a lot different from you know, Juko, you know 528 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 2: what I mean, really the details to the plays because 529 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 2: at that time, I didn't know a lot about football fundamentals. 530 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,719 Speaker 2: You know, I knew, I knew the basics, but you know, 531 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 2: but they taught beyond that level, and that's what really 532 00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:54,159 Speaker 2: helped me a lot. And just being there, you know, 533 00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:57,960 Speaker 2: it was it was it was fast, very fast for me, 534 00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 2: you know, And when I broke my hand, it kind 535 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: of slowed me down even more because now I'm not practicing. 536 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 2: It's more like mental reps, so me trying to see 537 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,560 Speaker 2: it on the screen is not me seeing it on 538 00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 2: the field, So I ain't let it stress me out. 539 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 2: You know, I got surgery, did what I did. They 540 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 2: let me play with the club, you know what I mean, 541 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 2: And like you know, I mean, if I can play, 542 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go out there and play on the field. 543 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 2: I don't care. You give me a club, a cask 544 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 2: and get out there and run for y'all? 545 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 1: Are you still playing corner? 546 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 2: I was still playing corner, but twenty twenty two I 547 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 2: was mostly special teams. 548 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 1: Okay, because we get to like you said, put a 549 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: wrap on a club, all right, so you're not going 550 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: to intercept with that hand. You just you are long. 551 00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,760 Speaker 1: You usually the other hand to do what I can do. Yeah, right, 552 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: So when did you start to get the fit? 553 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 2: Well? 554 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 1: How old were you when you first thought about playing 555 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:49,239 Speaker 1: in the NFL six six? Okay, by the way, at 556 00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 1: four years old? What are we doing playing football? 557 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:51,840 Speaker 2: Four years old? 558 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: We are we just running around? I know what little 559 00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: soccer players are doing when they're four years old. They're 560 00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: picking flowers. 561 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what I was going. 562 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 2: I probably don't know where I was running with the 563 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 2: ball at that time. I don't know. I just know 564 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,400 Speaker 2: I was playing football, Okay, I know I was running 565 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 2: blue when I breaking the shirt, and that's it. 566 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 1: I mean, you're probably one of the best athletes on 567 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 1: these teams, these youth teams, right. So you what were 568 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: your quarterback? Running back? 569 00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,440 Speaker 2: I played at that time? 570 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? 571 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 2: Growing up I was really bad running back running. 572 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,120 Speaker 1: Back in quarterback, yeah yeah. And did you think as 573 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 1: you started to get older in school, did you think 574 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 1: that's what you would be? 575 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 2: Yes? 576 00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: And when did that change? 577 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 2: I say, I say after my senior midget. Senior midget. 578 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 2: How that's I think.

So we're 647 00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:12,160 Speaker 1: in high school and and now you're a cornerback or 648 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: have you been moved to corner yet or. 649 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,560 Speaker 2: I don't know. For some reason, my dad wanted me 650 00:35:17,600 --> 00:35:18,040 Speaker 2: to play. 651 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: Quarterback quarterback for some reason, for some reason, I didn't 652 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,080 Speaker 1: even imagine what version that might be. 653 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,360 Speaker 2: I play a quarterback that season. Of course, I didn't know. 654 00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,640 Speaker 1: Now what offense you're running a beer you're running I mean, 655 00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:38,719 Speaker 1: it's maybe that's why you're not a quarterback, but it 656 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,640 Speaker 1: has to be something that puts your athleticism. You're not 657 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 1: a drop back passer. You're an athlete. You got to 658 00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,360 Speaker 1: use those legs that speak. 659 00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:48,719 Speaker 2: And it's crazy. I played cornerback my whole life up 660 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,080 Speaker 2: to high school. My freshman year, my sophomore year, my 661 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:54,640 Speaker 2: sophomo year. I transitioned my half the season two, so 662 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 2: I played to play corner that quarterback one for me, 663 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 2: I'm not gonna see you. 664 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 3: What did you like about the cornerback position? 665 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,520 Speaker 2: The corner you know it was it was you know, 666 00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:08,160 Speaker 2: I like challenging myself, and that's one of the biggest 667 00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,000 Speaker 2: challenges on the field, is cornerback going against the fastest, 668 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,480 Speaker 2: the best Robbis he was on the team.

I wish 986 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:51,000 Speaker 1: you could have met him who played here for a 987 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:54,360 Speaker 1: long time. His name is Orlando Scandrick. I was an 988 00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: outstanding cornerback, worked his way up from being a very 989 00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:01,040 Speaker 1: low draft choice to a Pro Bowl player and uh 990 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 1: not overly big, not nearly as long as you and 991 00:54:05,719 --> 00:54:07,520 Speaker 1: he played with a chip on his shoulder, and I 992 00:54:08,040 --> 00:54:10,640 Speaker 1: have a feeling that Skendrick probably would have a conversation 993 00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:14,040 Speaker 1: with the receiver during the course of play. I love 994 00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:16,040 Speaker 1: for you to have been it was great to see him. 995 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:17,879 Speaker 1: I just thought about that when I heard you talking 996 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:23,240 Speaker 1: about being being aggressive. So so you like the tackling 997 00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:25,759 Speaker 1: part of the game, Well that makes you different from 998 00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:26,640 Speaker 1: Dion right away? 999 00:54:26,840 --> 00:54:27,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. 1000 00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,600 Speaker 1: And so what is your favorite part of playing cornerback? 1001 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:36,480 Speaker 2: Just the challenges? Like I said, you know what I mean, 1002 00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,439 Speaker 2: you're going to get the best, you know what I mean. 1003 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:43,080 Speaker 2: You might have Jamar Chase, then you might have Jamar 1004 00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,480 Speaker 2: Chased and Tyreek Hillton this week and Justin Jefferson, you 1005 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:47,160 Speaker 2: know what I mean. Those are all challenges, you know 1006 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:48,920 Speaker 2: what I mean. That's kind of like that's that's a 1007 00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,759 Speaker 2: mental challenge too, because you got to post the game 1008 00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:52,600 Speaker 2: the same way each week, you know, I mean, you 1009 00:54:52,600 --> 00:54:54,520 Speaker 2: can't think any different. You can't think because oh, he's 1010 00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,239 Speaker 2: the best receiver here, he got a thousand yards. You 1011 00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,120 Speaker 2: can't think that. You don't have no negative thoughts approaching 1012 00:54:58,120 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 2: the game. You want to push the game like you 1013 00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,520 Speaker 2: did each each practice. 1014 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:04,719 Speaker 1: How about the nuances that would you didn't you have 1015 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,399 Speaker 1: a penalty last night? Do you get called for a penalty? Yeah? 1016 00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:08,160 Speaker 1: Well what was it? 1017 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,280 Speaker 2: What was it for? Holding? 1018 00:55:11,280 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 1: Did you think you held the guy? 1019 00:55:14,360 --> 00:55:16,319 Speaker 2: I don't maybe hold him, I kind of. I was 1020 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,759 Speaker 2: probably little to aggressive, you know, I don't think I 1021 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:20,800 Speaker 2: hold him, though I don't think I held him was aggressive. 1022 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,160 Speaker 1: The only reason I'm asking that is is that one 1023 00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:26,600 Speaker 1: of the hardest things to learn and making the transition 1024 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:30,279 Speaker 1: to professional football. What can you get away with? How 1025 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:32,239 Speaker 1: can There are things I can get away with, but 1026 00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:35,400 Speaker 1: I have to know how to do them and so 1027 00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,040 Speaker 1: I don't get called And learning the officials, is that 1028 00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 1: one of the toughest parts. 1029 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, gotta gotta find waste of finesse you know 1030 00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:43,960 Speaker 2: what I mean. Definitely at corner, Definitely pressed man corner 1031 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,240 Speaker 2: because there's a lot of hand fighting. That's not a screamage, 1032 00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,880 Speaker 2: so you know, we can't touch nobody past five yards. 1033 00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:50,040 Speaker 2: But you don't want to put that in your head. 1034 00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:51,560 Speaker 2: Just continue to play a game, you know what I mean. 1035 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:53,560 Speaker 2: That's probably one of the one of the hardest thing 1036 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,720 Speaker 2: to do. Just this become muscle Maria if you practice 1037 00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 2: it every day. 1038 00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:58,680 Speaker 3: One thing I love hearing you say is that you're 1039 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 3: self motivated. Obviously you like to challenge yourself. What is 1040 00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 3: what is the challenge for yourself for the rest of 1041 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 3: the season, for. 1042 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,360 Speaker 2: The rest of the season, is to stay consistent, you 1043 00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,200 Speaker 2: know what I mean?

And that's just kind 1049 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,319 Speaker 2: of how I go throughout my day and out my 1050 00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,080 Speaker 2: practices and not my game days.
