10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: you for having me. Of course, of course, I mean

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: I gotta say to this is week seventeen of your

12
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,559
Speaker 1: rookie season, when we're sitting down to record, this has

13
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: this year flown by for you? Oh my goodness? Yeah,

14
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: I mean it's it has when you look back at it.

15
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: But also I think back to early games, it seems

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: like kind of forever ago, like the first Dallas game

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: and one season opener, it seems like a few years

18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: ago that game was played. Um, but I mean, this

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 1: year has been a lot of fun and I've enjoyed it.

20
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: Is there something that you know you realize now or

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: you know now that you wish you could have told

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 1: yourself going into this season, I would say, have patients. Um.

23
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: You know, I told myself that I thought enough, Um,

24
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: you know the nature of the game and learning new positions.

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:16,639
Speaker 1: I knew I was going to have to be patient,

26
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 1: just you know, work hard, and uh, it took a

27
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: little longer than I thought to get on the field. Um.

28
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,960
Speaker 1: And so when that happens, you just gotta you know,

29
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: stay patient and keep working, um, and just have your

30
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: priorities in line and it'll be successful. And so I

31
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: was I could tell myself that, like, everything's gonna be fun,

32
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: It's all gonna be okay. I mean, you came into

33
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 1: this organization, you know, training camp. I think coaches were

34
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: just swooning over your versatility. And that's really shown. You

35
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: played corner, you've played safety, you played nicol. I mean,

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: how would you describe I mean, you've been patient and

37
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: learning all these different positions and adjusting, But how would

38
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: you describe the difference in your approach to each of

39
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: these different spots in the field. Yeah, that was probably

40
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 1: what took me alongest to um actling my myself too. Uh,

41
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: just spatial awareness of different positions where I'm at uh

42
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 1: or a different you know nickel corner, free safety, strong

43
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: and safety. Um, just a different perspective and each you

44
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: know position, And so the biggest learning curve was just

45
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: being aware of that, and you know, guys like Anton

46
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Bathet and Michael Thomas really helped me kind of get

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 1: that downpact um. But at the end of the day,

48
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,679
Speaker 1: I think kind of what made me successful in all

49
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: my life is just being a football player, just you know,

50
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: having fun when I'm on the ball, making plays, um

51
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: and just playing fast and having fun. This being with

52
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: the guys and uh so that's really helped me with

53
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: all the ferstility in different positions. Yeah. I mean, at

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's a game. You want

55
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: to enjoy it. You wanna have fun. Um. You know

56
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: what's the biggest difference. You look at some of these

57
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL, and you know, you got some

58
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: speed guys, you got some big body guys, you got

59
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: the you know, these different levels of talent and finesse.

60
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: And how would you describe the difference between covering a

61
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: guy who's more of a speed guy versus the guy

62
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 1: who's like I got the size advantage. Yeah, so from

63
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: college to NFL. You know, college, You'll be like, all right,

64
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: this guy he's not good, Like I can guard him

65
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: with these but you gotta be on your toes every

66
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: snap in the league, no matter who it is, because

67
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: they're here for a reason. And you know, speed guys, Um,

68
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: it depends on the speak guy. You know, if they're strong,

69
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: if they're not strong, if they're kind of weak. Uh,

70
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 1: you just gotta you know, match their master their angles, well,

71
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: put into account their speed. Um. So maybe get out

72
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: of your brakes a little quicker, you know, flip your

73
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: hips a little faster, um, and just you know, kind

74
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: of be ready to be on your toes for bigger

75
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: guys and bigger, stronger guys. I like to match physicality

76
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: um early in the down because you know I can

77
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: throw them off the route. And then at the top

78
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: just play with my quickness, use my strength, um and

79
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: just you know beat him out of the breaks. And

80
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 1: so that's probably like my biggest mindset. And I'm facing

81
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: bigger guy versus like a smaller, quicker guy. Hey, that's

82
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: a good that's a good way of contextualizing it. Um.

83
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: You know you also you talked about the patients that

84
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: it takes One of the things that I think stands

85
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 1: out is a lot of rookies come out of these

86
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 1: programs that have a lot of success, you know, Notre Dame.

87
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: You're twelve and oh season and then you come into

88
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: a giants organization where there is some adversity, there are

89
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 1: some struggles with the way this season has gone. How

90
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: do you mentally adjust to going into that situation. Yeah,

91
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: I think it's all a mindset. Um. And you see

92
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: that a lot with the guys you know, coming from

93
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: a successful program going to the team and building are

94
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 1: on the rise. UM. And I think you just got

95
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 1: to do your job best you can and really set

96
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 1: the culture. I think you know a term that a

97
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: lot of the young guys have been using as a

98
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: leaf from the bottom. Um. And my class in college

99
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: we were successful, Um, we didn't start off successful. We

100
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: your freshman season was a little bit of a struggle there.

101
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: And so a lot of similarities. And this is, you know,

102
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: a mindset. And just because you're not winning right now

103
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: does means you won't win in the future. But as

104
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: long as you work and really set the standard of

105
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: the organization, which this is a pretty great organization that

106
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: has great standards already. Yeah. Wait, what was that? A

107
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: leap from the bottom, lead from the bottom, lead from

108
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: the bottom from the bottom like that? Um. Yeah, and

109
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: you mentioned this organization. You know, you come from Notre Dame,

110
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: a place that has a lot of tradition to the

111
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: New York Giants, a place that has a lot of

112
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: tradition that seems kind of almost faded. Right there. It

113
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: was rafted like all my family was just looking into

114
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: the like smiling, laughing, like this is perfect, Like everything

115
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: was meant to be. You're meant to getjected by them,

116
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: um at this pick, in this spot, this was all

117
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: met tap um. I believe that. I think Notre Dame

118
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: had a lot of traditional culture, passionate fan base. Um.

119
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: And so when I was here, I was prepared for

120
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: that because I experienced all of that in college and

121
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 1: this is just the next level. Um. And so I

122
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: think the correlation is kind of crazy. Um, but it's

123
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: really helped me so far. Yeah. I mean, I love you.

124
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: You grew up going to Notre Dame games with your dad,

125
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: and then you went and played at Notre Dame, And

126
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: like you said, you understand the impact of a fan

127
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: base like that because you were a part of it

128
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: does that help you kind of understanding how to relate

129
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: to kind of these Giants fans and see how much

130
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: you and this team means to them. Oh yeah, tremendously.

131
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,919
Speaker 1: I was that kid at those Notre Dame games with

132
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: my dad, UM, just thinking like, oh man, these dudes

133
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: are superheroes, like they're unreal, the guys the shiny helmets, um.

134
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: And as I got older, I'm like, dang, I have

135
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: the chance to play at Notre Dame. UM. And then now,

136
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,159
Speaker 1: like with the Giants, it's just you understand that because

137
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,039
Speaker 1: people grew up going to Giants games, and you know,

138
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: their families are invested into the organization, and so I

139
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,160
Speaker 1: appreciate that. I think, you know, you know, we're having

140
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: a down year, but the passion is there one way

141
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: or the other for sure, And I can't understand, I

142
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: acknowledge why their fans could be, you know, certain ways,

143
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: because they're emotionally less into this just like we are, UM.

144
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: And so I appreciate them because I know what it's like.

145
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: And I mean, we've talked about the kind of serendifitous

146
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: nature of the fan bases and that passionate and historic franchise,

147
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: but also your first career interception came against the Chicago

148
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: Bears in your hometown. I mean that that. You can't

149
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: write a better story than that. It it was crazy.

150
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean everything was aligning so perfectly in I just

151
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: it was unreal. Um. And I've always said, like everything

152
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,239
Speaker 1: happens for a reason. UM, just you know, play the chords,

153
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: do your thing. I'm just that fun with it. And

154
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 1: going into uh. We came off a bye week when

155

Speaker 1: I love Chicago food, um, but there's just more or

191
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 1: it's like there's more city out here, there's more different areas. Um.

192
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: And so you know, whether I'm in Jersey or I

193
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: go into the city, I'm an eater. I like to

194
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: go random spots and that's why I really enjoyed The

195
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 1: people and the food out here are pretty pretty amazing. Yeah,

196
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: there's so much diversity and so much eclectic different types

197
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: of food and styles and all that, which is Yeah,

198
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 1: it's a really crazy thing. Um. Also, so it's cruising

199
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 1: your website earlier some investigative journalism, and I came across

200
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: your official merchandise line, which first of all, the logo

201
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: is great design. That shout out to that logo designer

202
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: because it's like the j L but it's like kind

203
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 1: of geometric and a heart for love. I mean, there's

204
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: so many levels to this. But what's the story there? Ill,

205
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: And I was going through the process of being drafted. Um.

206
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: I kind of had that idea in the works. And

207
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: my family has always done stuff like that since I

208
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: was young, playing whatever sport. My siblings the same thing.

209
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: We all all made random shirts. They always made headbands

210
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: something like oh wait, there's always some shirt for some

211
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: sort of big game or big event. And so I'm like, god,

212
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: this is obvious. Like my family would I'm guessing would

213
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: be the only ones aware of this. But yeah, the

214
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,439
Speaker 1: sides up, um, and Yeah, I like the logo. It's

215
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 1: nice and it's fun to see you know a lot

216
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: of people that really care about family and friends. Um

217
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: that I grew up with getting stuff like that for Christmas,

218
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: and so I really appreciate that because I know a

219
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: lot of people kind of have been tied into my store,

220
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: um until it kind of essentially is our story and

221
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: it's fun to see you know that the Logoya, do

222
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: you still have some of those shirts from like maybe

223

00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:53,440

Speaker 1: since we're young. My mom has been very creative in

232
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 1: that regard, and so she's she's always been there. Mom

Speaker 1: she's an official and actor like she'll get everything initiated

235
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,400

239
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: like my mom, and I thought it just worked perfectly.

240
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: I've always wanted to do something with a heart. I'm like,
