1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,760
Speaker 1: Romandre Um last week, you're running backs coach. I've been

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: Fears talked with us about you, and he compared you.

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: He said, he reminds you. It reminds him of the

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: Garrett Blunt. Um, what kind of um focus did you

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: have in terms of did you familiar with the Garrett

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: Blunt and what he did here and what kind of

7
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: a player he was? First of all, yeah, of course,

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: I'm very familiar with the Garrett Blunt. He's one of

9
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: my one of my favorite players ever played the position.

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: But uh, yeah, I don't think I'm really at that

11
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: level yet. I'm still a rookie. I haven't played any

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: games in the NFL. I haven't went to one fall

13
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: camp yet. So I'm just still trying to learn and

14
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: uh and yeah, just played my role and just learn

15
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: as much as I can. What do you think that

16
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: your best feature is? I mean, you're a big black

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: big back, You're you're good run black back. Um, basically

18
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 1: you know you have good hands. What do you think

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: your best features? Oh? Well, I take prior to trying

20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 1: to be a very versatile player. So I'm just learning

21
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: how to, you know, do every one of those phases

22
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: even better than I do now. And like I said,

23
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: it's just it's just like a learning process for me

24
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: only being here for a few weeks. I'm still just

25
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: trying to, uh, you know, learn how to be a pro.

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: And he said, a learning process. What do you hope

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: to learn from players like Damian Harris and Sony Michelle

28
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: and James White. But we'll be in that running back.

29
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: We're with you, with you, uh, a tremendous amount, like

30
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: not even on the like not only on the field,

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 1: but just off the field. Things how to carry yourself,

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: just what to be prepared for on the football field

33
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: in the classroom, things like that. Just better in my

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 1: game and every aspect. Right, Thanks for mondor, welcome to

00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: dream you're basically how has it felt. What's it been

39
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: like for you to be in Patriots OTAs get your

40
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: first NFL experience. Yeah, it's it's a great feeling, Like

41
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: this is what I dreamed of for since I was

42
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: about seven years old. So it's a it's a it's

43
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: an awesome feeling just being around all these pros, being

44
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 1: around so many great players. Uh, And I'm just I'm

45
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: just taking it all in, enjoying every aspect of it.

46
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: Would you describe the volume of information you're getting on

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: a daily basis and what has it been like? Yeah,

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: with that, they're what they're they're feeding you guys right

49
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: now in terms of past protection, run schemes, everything you

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: have to know. Oh yeah, it's a bunch. It's a bunch.

51
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: You gotta stay in that playbook or you'll you'll get

52
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: left behind, definitely. So it's a lot of information. Uh,

53
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: special teams offensively, Uh, for the defensive players defensively, but

54
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: for me personally, it's just routes, like you said, past pickups,

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: run schemes, Uh, who to alignments, blocking on certain plays,

56
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: things like that. So I'm not doing nothing but but learning,

57
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 1: just taking everything in and trying to become a sponge

58
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: and just suck everything in, appreciate it all the best.

59
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:02,240
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, thank you, And any more questions

60
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: from Ramondre. Yes, sorry, I was trying to figure out

61
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 1: how to raise my hand. Go ahead, Alex Harrymandre. I'm

62
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: just wondering and I jumped in a little late here.

63
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: I apologize You've already been asked this. What's been the

64
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,959
Speaker 1: biggest adjustment for you just, you know, not necessarily with

65
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: the Patriots, but from the college game to the pro game. Uh, yeah,

66
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: I think it's just I touched on a little bit earlier,

67
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: just that information being thrown at us. It's a lot

68
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: more complicated. You gotta put a lot more you know,

69
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: effort into learning the plays and just learning every scheme

70
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: and what Josh mcdowne is trying to get done. And

71
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,839
Speaker 1: he's a genius. So if you buy into what he's doing,

72
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: what he's teaching us like we should be, we should

73
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: be great.
