Roberts Hollow made 33 00:01:29,428 --> 00:01:32,988 Speaker 4: that decision, but before Rogers went into his award season mode, 34 00:01:33,068 --> 00:01:34,748 Speaker 4: he spoke to the media on Friday and gave his 35 00:01:34,828 --> 00:01:37,388 Speaker 4: thoughts on some of the young talent within the New 36 00:01:37,468 --> 00:01:40,588 Speaker 4: York Jets building, including his star wide receiver Garrett Wilson. 37 00:01:43,148 --> 00:01:46,828 Speaker 5: I love your I mean awesome, awesome, young young kid. 38 00:01:47,068 --> 00:01:49,468 Speaker 5: You know, the whole world in front of him. He's 39 00:01:49,508 --> 00:01:51,908 Speaker 5: got all the talent and the ability. You need your best 40 00:01:51,908 --> 00:01:53,948 Speaker 5: players to be the best people on your team. He's 41 00:01:53,948 --> 00:01:56,548 Speaker 5: definitely one of them. Loved spending time with them, loved 42 00:01:56,588 --> 00:01:58,708 Speaker 5: just watching them. I mean there's at least one time 43 00:01:58,748 --> 00:02:00,788 Speaker 5: of practice he does something he kind of looking back 44 00:02:00,828 --> 00:02:04,028 Speaker 5: at Todd and Hack and Rob I was looking back home. 45 00:02:04,548 --> 00:02:04,828 Speaker 1: Wow. 46 00:02:05,068 --> 00:02:07,948 Speaker 5: So that's that's exciting. But the thing I like and 47 00:02:07,948 --> 00:02:11,188 Speaker 5: that I'm encouraging is more communication across the ball. We 48 00:02:11,228 --> 00:02:13,908 Speaker 5: get at some point, you know, possibly the best corner 49 00:02:13,948 --> 00:02:16,988 Speaker 5: and best receiver in the NFL is a legit possibility. 50 00:02:16,988 --> 00:02:19,068 Speaker 5: I think for those two guys, maybe not this upcoming year. 51 00:02:19,108 --> 00:02:21,268 Speaker 5: I still think DeVante is a league of his own. 52 00:02:21,868 --> 00:02:24,028 Speaker 5: The last six weeks have been about the most fun 53 00:02:24,068 --> 00:02:25,988 Speaker 5: I've had in a while. So it's fun to come 54 00:02:26,028 --> 00:02:28,228 Speaker 5: to work and be excited about what we're doing. 55 00:02:29,308 --> 00:02:31,308 Speaker 3: Somehow he was able to hit all the topics there. 56 00:02:31,708 --> 00:02:35,708 Speaker 4: Garrett Wilson Saucegartner Davante was included in that compliment is awesome. 57 00:02:35,828 --> 00:02:37,828 Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers loving the young talent with the Jets. He's 58 00:02:37,828 --> 00:02:39,788 Speaker 4: having a ton of fun. We're seeing him all these 59 00:02:39,828 --> 00:02:43,348 Speaker 4: defense how and is it the case that we are 60 00:02:43,348 --> 00:02:46,308 Speaker 4: going to see the best version of Aaron Rodgers with 61 00:02:46,348 --> 00:02:47,348 Speaker 4: the Jets this season? 62 00:02:47,428 --> 00:02:50,188 Speaker 1: Kyle, I always I'm amused in the s weekly world 63 00:02:50,508 --> 00:02:54,508 Speaker 1: where they do the body language experts, I'll hire those people. 64 00:02:54,508 --> 00:02:57,548 Speaker 1: And Ben and Jen clearly aren't getting along at this 65 00:02:57,588 --> 00:02:59,988 Speaker 1: Farmer's market, becaus and how they're holding hands everything. Those 66 00:03:00,028 --> 00:03:01,828 Speaker 1: people should be looking at the Jets right now and 67 00:03:01,868 --> 00:03:06,268 Speaker 1: just looking at Rogers talking about Todd Hack and and wow, yeah, 68 00:03:06,348 --> 00:03:08,708 Speaker 1: the time of his life because juxtaposted this way, all 69 00:03:08,748 --> 00:03:12,108 Speaker 1: these smiles and Tony Awards and saying that Garrett Wilson's 70 00:03:12,108 --> 00:03:14,068 Speaker 1: going to be better than Justin Jefferson. Just all these 71 00:03:14,068 --> 00:03:16,908 Speaker 1: crazy things he's saying. Here's the contrasts last year. Do 72 00:03:16,988 --> 00:03:21,388 Speaker 1: you even recognize this guy? Remember this curmudgeon out there 73 00:03:21,908 --> 00:03:24,308 Speaker 1: playing with these guys. He doesn't have great chemistry with 74 00:03:24,468 --> 00:03:29,188 Speaker 1: playing with an injured thumb. It's a different human being completely, 75 00:03:29,668 --> 00:03:32,708 Speaker 1: And I think he didn't have a great rapport with 76 00:03:32,748 --> 00:03:35,108 Speaker 1: the young whiteouts. I think he was injured, and I 77 00:03:35,108 --> 00:03:38,548 Speaker 1: think he was just done psychologically done. I think done 78 00:03:38,588 --> 00:03:42,348 Speaker 1: being a packer, done living in Wisconsin. 79 00:03:41,788 --> 00:03:43,748 Speaker 6: Like all of that stuff. I think he was done. 80 00:03:44,028 --> 00:03:46,348 Speaker 1: And it showed we've seen enough of this guy to 81 00:03:46,468 --> 00:03:48,268 Speaker 1: know when he's right and when he's not. We've been 82 00:03:48,308 --> 00:03:51,108 Speaker 1: watching them our entire adult lives. Something was off last year, 83 00:03:51,148 --> 00:03:54,348 Speaker 1: and it was more so than his chemistry with Christian Watson. 84 00:03:54,468 --> 00:03:55,828 Speaker 1: I think he was, like, you know, they say, to 85 00:03:55,908 --> 00:03:57,468 Speaker 1: leave the party a little to early in O late. 86 00:03:57,468 --> 00:03:59,188 Speaker 1: I think he stayed ayre late, I really do. And 87 00:03:59,228 --> 00:04:03,828 Speaker 1: I think he's had this wild rejuvenation in North Jersey 88 00:04:03,908 --> 00:04:06,108 Speaker 1: in the sun and now listen, you might say it's easy. 89 00:04:06,148 --> 00:04:06,748 Speaker 6: It's June. 90 00:04:06,828 --> 00:04:08,588 Speaker 1: Wait till you start out one and two and the 91 00:04:08,588 --> 00:04:10,668 Speaker 1: Sharks are coming fine. I think we're gonna have the 92 00:04:10,708 --> 00:04:12,668 Speaker 1: best of Aaron Riis. I said this last week. Right now, 93 00:04:12,708 --> 00:04:14,748 Speaker 1: we're looking ahead to the Rogers Jets experience. There's really 94 00:04:14,948 --> 00:04:16,868 Speaker 1: three avenues you go in. You think it's gonna be 95 00:04:16,868 --> 00:04:18,828 Speaker 1: a disaster. He's gonna fall in his face and look old, 96 00:04:18,908 --> 00:04:21,748 Speaker 1: and they're gonna be six and eleven. It's gonna be fine, 97 00:04:21,868 --> 00:04:24,308 Speaker 1: he's okay, or it's just gonna be great. I think 98 00:04:24,348 --> 00:04:25,588 Speaker 1: it's gonna be great. I think it's gonna be in 99 00:04:25,588 --> 00:04:27,668 Speaker 1: the MVP conversation. I think the Jets are gonna win. 100 00:04:27,788 --> 00:04:29,228 Speaker 1: I think the Jets are gonna be in the playoffs, 101 00:04:29,268 --> 00:04:31,068 Speaker 1: like all that stuff. I'm choosing to go the high end. 102 00:04:31,108 --> 00:04:33,748 Speaker 1: And it has so much to do with the six 103 00:04:33,788 --> 00:04:35,948 Speaker 1: to eight inches between Rogers' ears. I think he's happy. 104 00:04:35,948 --> 00:04:37,868 Speaker 1: I think he's healthy. The body language is fantastic. 105 00:04:37,908 --> 00:04:39,868 Speaker 2: He's one hundred percent happy and healthy. And you look 106 00:04:39,908 --> 00:04:42,068 Speaker 2: at last year. It was almost like you go throughout 107 00:04:42,068 --> 00:04:44,268 Speaker 2: your entire time in high school and you have this 108 00:04:44,308 --> 00:04:47,028 Speaker 2: one girlfriend and you're always complaining about her, and you're 109 00:04:47,028 --> 00:04:49,108 Speaker 2: saying she's this, she's dead, but somewhere or another, you 110 00:04:49,188 --> 00:04:51,508 Speaker 2: just continue to stay together. She's giving you the signs, 111 00:04:51,508 --> 00:04:53,548 Speaker 2: but you decide that you don't want to leave her. 112 00:04:53,628 --> 00:04:55,828 Speaker 2: And then we watched Aaron Rodgers walk off the field 113 00:04:55,828 --> 00:04:57,988 Speaker 2: with Randall Cobb last year, and that was those guys 114 00:04:57,988 --> 00:05:01,148 Speaker 2: senior year. You're heading into the summer and you're like, dude, 115 00:05:01,148 --> 00:05:03,828 Speaker 2: you know what I'm done Like this summer, I'm breaking 116 00:05:03,908 --> 00:05:06,468 Speaker 2: up with her.

The energy 147 00:06:22,388 --> 00:06:25,108 Speaker 7: is starting to get a little more contagious. From leaving 148 00:06:25,148 --> 00:06:26,908 Speaker 7: Green Bay to me and in a new environment, he 149 00:06:27,028 --> 00:06:29,748 Speaker 7: smile the more. It's like you have a glow about himself. 150 00:06:30,028 --> 00:06:31,948 Speaker 7: You know, a lot of people are starting to rally 151 00:06:31,988 --> 00:06:34,268 Speaker 7: around him. He got the young guys who respect him. 152 00:06:34,348 --> 00:06:37,828 Speaker 7: He around the organization that's already loving them and embracing them. 153 00:06:38,028 --> 00:06:40,868 Speaker 7: You know, everything about Aaron Rodgers is super exciting right now, 154 00:06:40,908 --> 00:06:42,548 Speaker 7: and I'm glad to see that he's starting to get 155 00:06:42,588 --> 00:06:45,508 Speaker 7: that smile back, starting to get that feeling because Aaron Rodgers, 156 00:06:45,548 --> 00:06:48,348 Speaker 7: that's embracing their community, embracing their team. So, Aaron Rodgers, 157 00:06:48,428 --> 00:06:50,068 Speaker 7: what do you want to see throwing touchdowns for you? 158 00:06:50,268 --> 00:06:51,908 Speaker 7: I mean, I'm excited to see what he do, and 159 00:06:51,908 --> 00:06:53,548 Speaker 7: I know he's going to have fun while doing it. 160 00:06:53,708 --> 00:06:54,748 Speaker 3: I mean, he's got a glow up. 161 00:06:54,828 --> 00:06:56,268 Speaker 4: It's a glow up that all of us were should 162 00:06:56,308 --> 00:06:57,308 Speaker 4: do when we moved to New Jersey. 163 00:06:57,348 --> 00:06:59,068 Speaker 3: That is an honest fact. But what he looks like. 164 00:06:59,188 --> 00:07:01,908 Speaker 4: I also think that this is it's not like he's 165 00:07:02,028 --> 00:07:03,988 Speaker 4: doing these things in life and it's like I am 166 00:07:03,988 --> 00:07:07,948 Speaker 4: a genuinely having the most incredible time at the Tonys 167 00:07:08,068 --> 00:07:09,748 Speaker 4: or at the front row of all these playoff games 168 00:07:09,748 --> 00:07:10,228 Speaker 4: in New York. 169 00:07:10,468 --> 00:07:11,708 Speaker 3: I think it's very intentional. 170 00:07:12,268 --> 00:07:15,868 Speaker 4: I think he knows what that smile does for people, 171 00:07:16,188 --> 00:07:19,428 Speaker 4: especially in the Jets fan base. I am somebody who, 172 00:07:19,868 --> 00:07:23,028 Speaker 4: let's just say, is very well planned out about things 173 00:07:23,068 --> 00:07:25,068 Speaker 4: that I like to participate in, whether it be vacation 174 00:07:25,468 --> 00:07:26,468 Speaker 4: or social events. 175 00:07:26,868 --> 00:07:28,228 Speaker 3: I put a lot of thought into it. 176 00:07:28,268 --> 00:07:30,748 Speaker 4: I'm very excited about it, and this thing that I 177 00:07:30,948 --> 00:07:32,548 Speaker 4: chose to do will go well. 178 00:07:32,548 --> 00:07:34,308 Speaker 3: It's a mental game that I play for myself. I 179 00:07:34,308 --> 00:07:36,388 Speaker 3: will show I'm smiling, I will have a good time. 180 00:07:36,668 --> 00:07:38,428 Speaker 3: That is what this man is doing to us right now. 181 00:07:38,588 --> 00:07:39,588 Speaker 3: There was no way that. 182 00:07:39,548 --> 00:07:41,788 Speaker 4: He was not gonna go to the Knicks games with 183 00:07:41,908 --> 00:07:43,828 Speaker 4: soft Carter and be like, I'm having the best time 184 00:07:43,868 --> 00:07:44,428 Speaker 4: I've ever had. 185 00:07:44,708 --> 00:07:46,628 Speaker 3: We wound the Bucks games, we saw him front rows 186 00:07:46,668 --> 00:07:49,308 Speaker 3: Bucks team. He never looked like that, never looked that happy. 187 00:07:49,348 --> 00:07:51,388 Speaker 4: I think he's doing it on purpose, and I think, 188 00:07:51,788 --> 00:07:54,588 Speaker 4: no matter what this was, always how this was gonna go. 189 00:07:54,948 --> 00:07:56,948 Speaker 4: And whether or not a transpires to the football field, 190 00:07:56,948 --> 00:07:58,868 Speaker 4: I have no idea, but he is just I think, 191 00:07:58,908 --> 00:08:01,628 Speaker 4: sticking it to anybody who said he looked miserable over 192 00:08:01,628 --> 00:08:03,908 Speaker 4: the last couple of years, because he's like, this has 193 00:08:03,988 --> 00:08:06,228 Speaker 4: to go well because of everything that he did to 194 00:08:06,268 --> 00:08:07,108 Speaker 4: make this happened. 195 00:08:07,188 --> 00:08:09,308 Speaker 1: To Jason's point, when you're in the new relationship, you're 196 00:08:09,348 --> 00:08:12,588 Speaker 1: constantly posting, Look how great oh got this food we're eating? 197 00:08:12,628 --> 00:08:14,668 Speaker 1: Look at this package. There's some of that going on, Jay, 198 00:08:14,748 --> 00:08:16,988 Speaker 1: what is the freezing cold take factor of this, Like 199 00:08:17,068 --> 00:08:19,108 Speaker 1: in September that we're like, remember when he was going 200 00:08:19,148 --> 00:08:20,868 Speaker 1: to the Tony's and in the basketball game, we thought 201 00:08:20,908 --> 00:08:22,548 Speaker 1: it was so great and it's not going well? Like 202 00:08:22,908 --> 00:08:24,588 Speaker 1: is that where's we're all just saying this is great now? 203 00:08:24,668 --> 00:08:26,548 Speaker 1: Jamis commabus a little bit, which I like, but like 204 00:08:26,588 --> 00:08:28,548 Speaker 1: the three of us just said this is wonderful. Are 205 00:08:28,588 --> 00:08:30,428 Speaker 1: we being naive about how difficult it's going to be. 206 00:08:30,508 --> 00:08:32,188 Speaker 2: It is going to be extremely difficult. And look at 207 00:08:32,188 --> 00:08:35,028 Speaker 2: the recent history. We saw Tom Brady go to Tampa 208 00:08:35,028 --> 00:08:37,268 Speaker 2: Bay they won a Super Bowl. We see Matthew Stafford 209 00:08:37,348 --> 00:08:38,628 Speaker 2: go and they won a Super Bowl. 210 00:08:38,508 --> 00:08:39,028 Speaker 6: With the Rams. 211 00:08:39,028 --> 00:08:41,388 Speaker 2: And last year, like all right, Russ is going to Denver, 212 00:08:41,548 --> 00:08:44,028 Speaker 2: Shrikes picked him for MVP hack it as his culture 213 00:08:44,028 --> 00:08:46,108 Speaker 2: of the year. He was rocking a jersey and that 214 00:08:46,268 --> 00:08:48,548 Speaker 2: did not go well. And Aaron Rodgers is a better 215 00:08:48,628 --> 00:08:50,948 Speaker 2: quarterback than Russell Wilson. But it's that part of it 216 00:08:50,988 --> 00:08:53,068 Speaker 2: too that maybe they go and I don't think it'll 217 00:08:53,068 --> 00:08:55,228 Speaker 2: be a disaster that that was last season. But to 218 00:08:55,268 --> 00:08:58,308 Speaker 2: your point, those three different scenarios, middle maybe it's just him, 219 00:08:58,348 --> 00:09:00,708 Speaker 2: Maybe it's just okay, and it's pretty good now. If 220 00:09:00,748 --> 00:09:02,908 Speaker 2: you look at the Jester defense was unbelievable. Last year, 221 00:09:02,988 --> 00:09:06,708 Speaker 2: quarterback plays suffered a But who knows if this thing 222 00:09:06,788 --> 00:09:08,468 Speaker 2: is gonna hit the same way. But I think for 223 00:09:08,548 --> 00:09:11,068 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, whether the hits or not, you just said 224 00:09:11,068 --> 00:09:13,108 Speaker 2: the six eight interest in between his ears. When you 225 00:09:13,188 --> 00:09:15,588 Speaker 2: feel good waking up going to work every single day, 226 00:09:15,588 --> 00:09:18,348 Speaker 2: it brings about a different feeling and that's what the 227 00:09:18,428 --> 00:09:20,908 Speaker 2: excitement is all throughout this offseason, whether it hits or not. 228 00:09:21,388 --> 00:09:24,068 Speaker 7: The environment and culture definitely plays a big role in 229 00:09:24,508 --> 00:09:26,748 Speaker 7: the success of a player. Like being in this play 230 00:09:26,868 --> 00:09:28,908 Speaker 7: that you want to be in, being in the spot 231 00:09:28,948 --> 00:09:31,468 Speaker 7: that people are enjoying and embracing, you gonna bring the 232 00:09:31,468 --> 00:09:34,428 Speaker 7: best version of Aaron Rodgers out. And when times are tough, 233 00:09:34,588 --> 00:09:36,828 Speaker 7: he's still gonna embrace the woman because you know how 234 00:09:36,908 --> 00:09:38,268 Speaker 7: big it is and you know that he has a 235 00:09:38,268 --> 00:09:41,748 Speaker 7: support system around him. So environment plays a huge role 236 00:09:41,788 --> 00:09:41,988 Speaker 7: in it. 237 00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:44,028 Speaker 1: You like the Jets next year is generally you don't 238 00:09:44,028 --> 00:09:45,908 Speaker 1: have to predict their record or anything, but like with 239 00:09:45,948 --> 00:09:48,068 Speaker 1: the Bills and the Dolphins, we don't know. You think 240 00:09:48,068 --> 00:09:48,908 Speaker 1: they win next year? 241 00:09:48,988 --> 00:09:49,188 Speaker 6: Yeah? 242 00:09:49,188 --> 00:09:50,508 Speaker 7: I like to just I feel like they win a 243 00:09:50,508 --> 00:09:52,468 Speaker 7: lot of games. It's gonna be an exciting team to 244 00:09:52,588 --> 00:09:55,388 Speaker 7: watch and let everything transpire like it's gonna be exciting. 245 00:09:55,428 --> 00:09:56,828 Speaker 7: It's gonna be a lot of players being made. You're 246 00:09:56,828 --> 00:09:58,748 Speaker 7: gonna see some great plays with Aaron Rodgers and you're 247 00:09:58,748 --> 00:10:00,828 Speaker 7: talking about that defense that goes out and I'm in 248 00:10:00,948 --> 00:10:02,788 Speaker 7: swinging and I play. Sure they're gonna start off very 249 00:10:02,788 --> 00:10:03,388 Speaker 7: fast this year. 250 00:10:03,748 --> 00:10:06,268 Speaker 4: I mean, until see Aaron Rodgers down at Sea Isle 251 00:10:06,988 --> 00:10:08,988 Speaker 4: Town down the shore for Fourth of July, I'm not 252 00:10:08,988 --> 00:10:10,188 Speaker 4: gonna believe he's really in it. 253 00:10:10,828 --> 00:10:12,228 Speaker 3: I don't know what's a town down the shore.

But 367 00:15:00,028 --> 00:15:02,428 Speaker 7: you're talking about a four straight time Pro Bowl and 368 00:15:02,428 --> 00:15:04,708 Speaker 7: they're losing a key weapon. You know, he got weapons 369 00:15:04,708 --> 00:15:06,748 Speaker 7: all around the offense. You got Kirk Cousin, get that 370 00:15:06,788 --> 00:15:10,308 Speaker 7: ball to guys. And when you see that they losing 371 00:15:10,308 --> 00:15:12,348 Speaker 7: a weapon and get rid of one, it's a surprise 372 00:15:12,388 --> 00:15:14,028 Speaker 7: of that. I don't I didn't want to see it, 373 00:15:14,068 --> 00:15:16,308 Speaker 7: But now that it's happening, is like, hey, Dovin. 374 00:15:16,068 --> 00:15:17,588 Speaker 6: Cook, what was it like for you campus? 375 00:15:18,588 --> 00:15:21,148 Speaker 8: First of all, just losing Dalvin in the locker room 376 00:15:21,228 --> 00:15:23,068 Speaker 8: as far as just the leadership that he brings to 377 00:15:23,108 --> 00:15:25,708 Speaker 8: the team, that's where you really start to think, like, 378 00:15:25,748 --> 00:15:28,028 Speaker 8: oh wow, this is this is a big deal him 379 00:15:28,028 --> 00:15:30,428 Speaker 8: not being with us anymore, especially me it's my third season. 380 00:15:30,508 --> 00:15:32,868 Speaker 8: He's been that leader for me in these first few years, 381 00:15:32,988 --> 00:15:35,348 Speaker 8: especially my rookie year. I remember I got in super 382 00:15:35,348 --> 00:15:38,228 Speaker 8: big trouble for accidentally running into him during practice, he 383 00:15:38,348 --> 00:15:41,188 Speaker 8: was like, not keep competing. Coaches were coaches were lighting 384 00:15:41,188 --> 00:15:43,348 Speaker 8: me up because I ran into him on accident. But 385 00:15:43,588 --> 00:15:46,188 Speaker 8: he came up to me after practice like, not keep competing, 386 00:15:46,188 --> 00:15:47,988 Speaker 8: You're gonna be You're gonna be great one day, and 387 00:15:48,028 --> 00:15:50,108 Speaker 8: that stuck with me since day one. So just him 388 00:15:50,108 --> 00:15:53,268 Speaker 8: being that leader and him bringing that energy always, and 389 00:15:53,348 --> 00:15:55,948 Speaker 8: on top of that, he's a dog, So losing somebody 390 00:15:56,028 --> 00:15:58,788 Speaker 8: like that is always is always going to affect the team. 391 00:15:58,788 --> 00:16:01,788 Speaker 8: But I know he left a really good imprint and 392 00:16:01,908 --> 00:16:04,908 Speaker 8: his leadership is going to last last in Minnesota for years, 393 00:16:04,908 --> 00:16:05,748 Speaker 8: so I'm really happy for. 394 00:16:05,788 --> 00:16:06,948 Speaker 6: Him being able to move on. 395 00:16:07,108 --> 00:16:09,708 Speaker 8: And talking about Miami, I know he's from there, so 396 00:16:09,908 --> 00:16:12,388 Speaker 8: I'm happy for him regardless.

An incredible 522 00:21:27,828 --> 00:21:30,748 Speaker 4: career you have sax against Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, Cam Newton. 523 00:21:30,788 --> 00:21:33,388 Speaker 3: That's probably a cool thing that Drew Brees. Part three, Guys, 524 00:21:33,388 --> 00:21:34,228 Speaker 3: difficult to bring down. 525 00:21:34,228 --> 00:21:36,228 Speaker 4: Which one of those is the most memorable for you 526 00:21:36,268 --> 00:21:37,428 Speaker 4: though in the NFL time, Oh my. 527 00:21:37,428 --> 00:21:39,148 Speaker 9: Goodness, that's hard. That's hard to choose. 528 00:21:39,268 --> 00:21:43,428 Speaker 6: It's a close maybe one A, one B. So one 529 00:21:43,468 --> 00:21:44,028 Speaker 6: A will be. 530 00:21:44,028 --> 00:21:46,588 Speaker 9: Russell Wilson because I played against him in college against 531 00:21:46,588 --> 00:21:50,028 Speaker 9: with Wisconsin and he destroyed us. So that that was 532 00:21:50,028 --> 00:21:52,908 Speaker 9: a revenge thing that was that was meant something to me. 533 00:21:53,028 --> 00:21:55,188 Speaker 9: And then Drew Brees, you know, he's one of the 534 00:21:55,188 --> 00:21:57,348 Speaker 9: reasons I went to Purdue. He's the only reason I 535 00:21:57,428 --> 00:21:59,268 Speaker 9: kind of knew where Purdue was, just being a Texas 536 00:21:59,348 --> 00:22:00,548 Speaker 9: kid and seeing another. 537 00:22:00,668 --> 00:22:03,148 Speaker 6: Texas hit go there and just shine. 538 00:22:03,708 --> 00:22:07,028 Speaker 9: So Drew Breeses, what has more electricity? 539 00:22:07,108 --> 00:22:09,028 Speaker 1: Sack and Drew Brees are going to the twenty twenty 540 00:22:09,068 --> 00:22:09,828 Speaker 1: three Tony Award. 541 00:22:10,668 --> 00:22:11,348 Speaker 6: You've done both? 542 00:22:12,348 --> 00:22:15,148 Speaker 9: Oh my god, that's that's tough, Drew Brees, just because 543 00:22:15,148 --> 00:22:17,388 Speaker 9: that was a moment about like, yes, the team, but 544 00:22:17,428 --> 00:22:19,588 Speaker 9: also you know they say your name and you get 545 00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:22,908 Speaker 9: to see your jersey and everything. But the Tony's is crazy, 546 00:22:22,948 --> 00:22:25,348 Speaker 9: talk about it. Just the star power and the talent 547 00:22:25,428 --> 00:22:31,308 Speaker 9: there and just to see these we did a little 548 00:22:31,308 --> 00:22:33,908 Speaker 9: some did a little something for something. But yeah, but 549 00:22:33,908 --> 00:22:36,188 Speaker 9: that's more about all the amazing talent that's there, so, 550 00:22:36,628 --> 00:22:36,868 Speaker 9: you know. 551 00:22:36,988 --> 00:22:39,748 Speaker 1: Just talented yourself. My friend putting in the book, listen, 552 00:22:39,788 --> 00:22:42,308 Speaker 1: it's it's it really unpacks a lot and it's an 553 00:22:42,348 --> 00:22:44,628 Speaker 1: incredible read. And the memory you write about how you 554 00:22:44,748 --> 00:22:47,268 Speaker 1: felt like you had to actually hide your true self 555 00:22:47,548 --> 00:22:50,628 Speaker 1: to fit in with the quote unquote masculine NFL world. 556 00:22:50,788 --> 00:22:52,348 Speaker 1: What did you have to do to arrive at the 557 00:22:52,388 --> 00:22:54,068 Speaker 1: place where where you were really ready to share who 558 00:22:54,068 --> 00:22:54,348 Speaker 1: you are? 559 00:22:54,508 --> 00:22:56,788 Speaker 9: I think it's about seeing football as what you do 560 00:22:56,868 --> 00:22:58,988 Speaker 9: and not who you are. You know, it's it's an 561 00:22:59,028 --> 00:23:02,148 Speaker 9: amazing game. It brought me so many brothers and mentors 562 00:23:02,188 --> 00:23:05,028 Speaker 9: and success and the ability to provide for my family, 563 00:23:05,028 --> 00:23:06,428 Speaker 9: like all these great things. But at the end of 564 00:23:06,468 --> 00:23:08,788 Speaker 9: the day, it is not who R. K. Russell is, 565 00:23:08,988 --> 00:23:10,508 Speaker 9: and you need to be able to create space for 566 00:23:10,548 --> 00:23:12,748 Speaker 9: yourself and the things that you love to do. And 567 00:23:12,788 --> 00:23:15,348 Speaker 9: that's just kind of the thought in the Callousis that 568 00:23:15,428 --> 00:23:18,908 Speaker 9: came to me embracing my true self among also, just 569 00:23:18,948 --> 00:23:20,948 Speaker 9: like the Hard Time Brief, I talk about losing my 570 00:23:20,988 --> 00:23:23,348 Speaker 9: best friend. In the book, I talk about suffering injury, 571 00:23:23,348 --> 00:23:25,748 Speaker 9: which a lot of football players do, and just really 572 00:23:25,788 --> 00:23:28,028 Speaker 9: being forced to look at myself as more than just 573 00:23:28,068 --> 00:23:28,828 Speaker 9: a football player. 574 00:23:29,468 --> 00:23:31,228 Speaker 7: Can you tell us about the conversation you had with 575 00:23:31,268 --> 00:23:34,788 Speaker 7: yourself and your love ones after your days of playing 576 00:23:34,788 --> 00:23:36,428 Speaker 7: on the NFL for football field. 577 00:23:36,228 --> 00:23:36,668 Speaker 6: Of course. 578 00:23:36,868 --> 00:23:39,788 Speaker 9: I think for a lot of players, probably the majority 579 00:23:39,788 --> 00:23:43,068 Speaker 9: of players, is we don't really decide when we're done playing. 580 00:23:43,628 --> 00:23:45,908 Speaker 9: You know, some of us, you know, we have that 581 00:23:45,988 --> 00:23:48,788 Speaker 9: moment where we're like, Okay, I've closed this chapter and 582 00:23:48,788 --> 00:23:50,268 Speaker 9: I'm moving on to something else. But a lot of 583 00:23:50,348 --> 00:23:52,668 Speaker 9: us football either leaves us, or it feels it out, 584 00:23:52,708 --> 00:23:54,988 Speaker 9: or we find new things that excite us and fill 585 00:23:55,068 --> 00:23:56,908 Speaker 9: up our life. So mine is kind of a combination 586 00:23:56,988 --> 00:23:59,068 Speaker 9: of all things. Yes, I was taken away from football 587 00:23:59,068 --> 00:24:01,228 Speaker 9: because the injury. I was able to find myself and 588 00:24:01,268 --> 00:24:03,908 Speaker 9: then call to do things like writing books and speaking 589 00:24:03,948 --> 00:24:06,508 Speaker 9: and advocate cating for LGBTQ plus community. So it was 590 00:24:06,508 --> 00:24:08,668 Speaker 9: a big combination. It was a lot of little conversations 591 00:24:08,708 --> 00:24:11,228 Speaker 9: I think that happened over time, and hopefully conversations that 592 00:24:11,228 --> 00:24:12,508 Speaker 9: will build more like these. 593 00:24:13,028 --> 00:24:15,308 Speaker 2: That's awesome, And you walk away from the game, but 594 00:24:15,348 --> 00:24:18,348 Speaker 2: you've still been involved with the NFL now being a 595 00:24:18,388 --> 00:24:21,108 Speaker 2: retired player, and you've been a lot of the Pride initiatives, 596 00:24:21,108 --> 00:24:23,508 Speaker 2: You've been involved in those, even in Super Bowl fifty 597 00:24:23,548 --> 00:24:25,788 Speaker 2: six being on a panel as well. What does that 598 00:24:25,868 --> 00:24:27,788 Speaker 2: meant to you? Still being able to be evolved and 599 00:24:27,828 --> 00:24:29,628 Speaker 2: give back and also just be able to talk to 600 00:24:29,668 --> 00:24:31,868 Speaker 2: your experiences and inspire maybe somebody else. 601 00:24:32,028 --> 00:24:33,548 Speaker 9: It means so much to me. I think a lot 602 00:24:33,548 --> 00:24:35,948 Speaker 9: of people, myself included, thought coming out would be like 603 00:24:35,988 --> 00:24:37,908 Speaker 9: the end of my connection with football. A lot of 604 00:24:37,908 --> 00:24:41,028 Speaker 9: people when I did come out as bisexual, had the 605 00:24:41,028 --> 00:24:43,388 Speaker 9: same thought of like, Okay, well is you retiring on 606 00:24:43,468 --> 00:24:45,468 Speaker 9: what's happening now? And to be able to impact the 607 00:24:45,508 --> 00:24:47,428 Speaker 9: game in a different way, To be able to impact 608 00:24:47,428 --> 00:24:49,748 Speaker 9: not just one team, but hopefully thirty two teams in 609 00:24:49,788 --> 00:24:52,868 Speaker 9: the organization, and young kids playing football and watching and 610 00:24:52,868 --> 00:24:55,948 Speaker 9: collegiate kids, it's something that's super powerful. The NFL has 611 00:24:55,988 --> 00:24:57,668 Speaker 9: so much strength in the fact that it brings so 612 00:24:57,668 --> 00:25:01,348 Speaker 9: many different people together who come from different backgrounds, different races, 613 00:25:01,668 --> 00:25:05,188 Speaker 9: different identities, and we all are teammates, we all are 614 00:25:05,428 --> 00:25:08,428 Speaker 9: you know, fans together, we're we're all loving the game together. 615 00:25:08,948 --> 00:25:11,868 Speaker 9: So to bring that sense of community to different communities 616 00:25:11,868 --> 00:25:13,948 Speaker 9: and to all of us is very powerful and something 617 00:25:13,988 --> 00:25:16,428 Speaker 9: that I cherish about this league and I'm just so 618 00:25:16,628 --> 00:25:19,068 Speaker 9: blessed to hopefully be a part of moving forward. 619 00:25:19,308 --> 00:25:21,068 Speaker 1: It shows and to that point, you've talked about the 620 00:25:21,108 --> 00:25:23,468 Speaker 1: impact that Michael Sam had on you back in the day. Okay, 621 00:25:23,468 --> 00:25:26,428 Speaker 1: there are undoubtedly players on rosters right now, in locker 622 00:25:26,468 --> 00:25:29,948 Speaker 1: rooms right now who are afraid to reveal their true 623 00:25:29,988 --> 00:25:31,748 Speaker 1: self and to do what you've done. 624 00:25:31,828 --> 00:25:32,988 Speaker 6: What would you say to those players? 625 00:25:33,268 --> 00:25:36,708 Speaker 9: I would say that who you are is the beauty 626 00:25:36,708 --> 00:25:39,308 Speaker 9: of your life. You know, it's the beauty of what 627 00:25:39,348 --> 00:25:40,988 Speaker 9: you do. It's the reason that you are a great 628 00:25:40,988 --> 00:25:43,828 Speaker 9: football player, and not vice versa. It's not holding you back, 629 00:25:44,068 --> 00:25:47,148 Speaker 9: you know. The fear is mostly that that is just 630 00:25:47,268 --> 00:25:50,148 Speaker 9: fear mongering and self created or implement of society that 631 00:25:50,188 --> 00:25:52,188 Speaker 9: has nothing to do with who you are as a 632 00:25:52,188 --> 00:25:54,188 Speaker 9: player and more importantly, who you are as a person 633 00:25:54,268 --> 00:25:56,228 Speaker 9: or a man. And for the young kids, because I 634 00:25:56,268 --> 00:25:58,748 Speaker 9: think there's a lot of focus always on the professional players, 635 00:25:58,748 --> 00:26:00,668 Speaker 9: because what the platforms that we have before the young 636 00:26:00,748 --> 00:26:02,428 Speaker 9: kids who are scared to pick up a football because 637 00:26:02,428 --> 00:26:04,028 Speaker 9: of who they are, who don't feel welcome in the 638 00:26:04,028 --> 00:26:05,908 Speaker 9: locker room because of who they are, who feel like 639 00:26:05,948 --> 00:26:07,948 Speaker 9: to succeed in this world, they need to make that 640 00:26:07,988 --> 00:26:10,908 Speaker 9: decision then, which creates the men making the decisions now 641 00:26:10,948 --> 00:26:12,508 Speaker 9: in the locker room. I want you to know that 642 00:26:12,508 --> 00:26:15,388 Speaker 9: that is not true. That this game loves everyone who 643 00:26:15,588 --> 00:26:17,788 Speaker 9: loves it and who is willing to work hard and to 644 00:26:17,828 --> 00:26:21,028 Speaker 9: dedicate their lives to it, and that you are special 645 00:26:21,188 --> 00:26:22,788 Speaker 9: just the way you are.
