Speaker 1: Welcome into tag Dan today. I'm Pinnannie Stevens, Brian Sexson,
0:19
Speaker 1: and John Osier are with me. I hope you all
0:21
Speaker 1: had a very enjoyable long weekend. But back to action
0:24
Speaker 1: here at the Eve Miller Electric Center. OTA's are going
0:27
Speaker 1: to kick off again later this afternoon. OTA number four
0:30
Speaker 1: out of ten. But an eventful weekend for the first
0:33
Speaker 1: round draft pick. Let's start out with our big thing,
0:35
Speaker 1: number one, which is another one, a very monumental day.
0:38
Speaker 1: We want to give congratulations to Travis Hunter and his
0:41
Speaker 1: new wife, Leanna, who got married over the weekend. But
0:44
Speaker 1: an eventful month for Travis Hunter overall because getting drafted
0:47
Speaker 1: into the NFL. He's the first person in his family
0:49
Speaker 1: to graduate from college, turned twenty two.
0:51
Speaker 2: And then he got married.
0:53
Speaker 1: Friend, it's a lot of life events in one. We're
0:55
Speaker 1: putting a ton of pressure on him to play both
0:56
Speaker 1: sides of the football. But if anybody's up for it,
0:59
Speaker 1: I think it might be him.
1:00
Speaker 2: Well, you know, somebody at the draft told me that
1:01
Speaker 2: this kid loves football and he loves fishing. So he's
1:04
Speaker 2: cleared all the decks for everything he needed to get done, graduating,
1:09
Speaker 2: getting married, getting drafted, getting acclimated.
1:12
Speaker 3: I guess there's another one. John.
1:13
Speaker 2: He's got to get his contract done, but it appears
1:15
Speaker 2: that that's just a formality at this point in today's
1:18
Speaker 2: day in.
1:18
Speaker 3: Age of the NFL.
1:20
Speaker 2: But he's clear the decks Ky Now all of a sudden,
1:22
Speaker 2: he can focus on his new wife for the next
1:24
Speaker 2: couple of weeks and then training camp rolls around.
1:27
Speaker 3: It's all about football.
1:28
Speaker 4: Well, the best player in franchise history came in here,
1:31
Speaker 4: Tony Besselli, and get married a couple weeks later, So
1:33
Speaker 4: maybe as a formula works. I'm sure others have done it.
1:36
Speaker 4: It was it was cool to sort of go through
1:39
Speaker 4: on social media and see Travis's big day, nothing but
1:42
Speaker 4: the best. So it's it's uh, I'm I'm waiting for
1:45
Speaker 4: my car. You know he's beginning comes at this point. Yes,
1:49
Speaker 4: so you know I'm available. I'm in the MEC all
1:52
Speaker 4: the time.
1:53
Speaker 1: I'll let him know. Let's go through some of our
1:55
Speaker 1: other big things, which are some of the changes we
1:56
Speaker 1: saw at the NFL meetings. So some things change. One
1:59
Speaker 1: of the big changes are one thing that I'm interested
2:01
Speaker 1: in at least is that NFL players are going to
2:03
Speaker 1: be allowed to play in flag football in the Olympics
2:07
Speaker 1: represented the United States if they're chosen for the team. So, John,
2:10
Speaker 1: if you were gonna pick one of the Jaguars to
2:12
Speaker 1: play flag football for the USA, who do you think
2:15
Speaker 1: your chick?
2:16
Speaker 4: The The old cynic in me would say none. That's
2:20
Speaker 4: why these guys getting hurt. So I'll just I'll put
2:23
Speaker 4: that aside, because I'm sure they are administrators and coaches
2:27
Speaker 4: thinking that way. You know, I'm gonna say maybe Travis
2:34
Speaker 4: Hunter because of the two way element, you know, and
2:37
Speaker 4: because of the of the dynamic element. There are certainly
2:40
Speaker 4: guys on this team who have the speed and the
2:43
Speaker 4: quickness to play that game. I don't know much about
2:47
Speaker 4: how flag football look in the Olympics.
2:49
Speaker 5: I know it'll look better than when I played.
2:50
Speaker 3: It just a little bit.
2:52
Speaker 2: Well, it won't be played in the sand. Anybody remember
2:54
Speaker 2: the name of Robert Edwards. It'll be played on turf.
2:58
Speaker 2: And so from that perspective of the NFL's said, go ahead,
3:00
Speaker 2: I'll take Brian Thomas Junior because he did play so
3:03
Speaker 2: well at the Pro Bowl games in January.
3:06
Speaker 5: Very good call.
3:07
Speaker 1: I think speed and just getting around some of the
3:10
Speaker 1: flags and pulling that's probably a good call. Some things
3:12
Speaker 1: will stay the same though, as we saw they voted
3:15
Speaker 1: they were trying to ban the push. They didn't get
3:17
Speaker 1: enough votes. The Jaguars voted to keep the tust push,
3:20
Speaker 1: probably because they stopped it a couple of times this year,
3:22
Speaker 1: even though they didn't win that game. Another change that
3:24
Speaker 1: did not happen Brian, was they're not doing the receding
3:27
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. They talked about maybe if you win
3:30
Speaker 1: your division but you don't have the best record, you
3:32
Speaker 1: wouldn't get a home game, but they haven't done away
3:34
Speaker 1: with that yet. That seems like something that may come
3:36
Speaker 1: up again.
3:36
Speaker 3: Though you know, the NFL is loathed to change.
3:39
Speaker 2: They for years talked about eliminating the kickoff or finding
3:43
Speaker 2: a different way to execute the kickoff, and it wasn't
3:47
Speaker 2: until recently last year that they went ahead.
3:49
Speaker 3: And made the change.
3:50
Speaker 2: I expect that this is going to happen at some
3:52
Speaker 2: point in time. It just seems coming down the road.
3:55
Speaker 2: All the other things that have happened just take more time.
3:59
Speaker 2: It won't have happen maybe for two or three more years,
4:01
Speaker 2: but eventually they'll get there.
4:02
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't think they'll reced because I think owners
4:07
Speaker 4: and people involved with the league. Want there to be
4:10
Speaker 4: a real prize that comes with winning the division and
4:16
Speaker 4: getting the playoffs. Yes, that's a prize, but I think
4:18
Speaker 4: owners who ultimately decide this like having that home playoff
4:24
Speaker 4: game as they cared for in the division.
4:26
Speaker 5: Uh.
4:27
Speaker 4: And it's it's been talked about before. I remember this
4:31
Speaker 4: being talked about back in five or six. I think
4:35
Speaker 4: it always sounds great when it's talked about on social media,
4:39
Speaker 4: but once after it comes down to a vote, these
4:40
Speaker 4: guys don't wan to change.
4:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the change though we saw last week
4:44
Speaker 2: with Bob Ursay's passing.
4:49
Speaker 3: Does get Bob, but sorry, Bob was his dad. You know.
4:52
Speaker 3: Now his daughter is running the show.
4:55
Speaker 2: And Bob McNair's passed a few years ago in Houston
4:59
Speaker 2: and his son is running show. And I think over
5:01
Speaker 2: time you'll see some of the kids, some of the
5:03
Speaker 2: family members, maybe some of the private equity firms that
5:05
Speaker 2: are getting involved have.
5:06
Speaker 3: A bit of a say, we'll see.
5:08
Speaker 2: I don't want to see it change because I like
5:10
Speaker 2: you like the value of the rivalries, but this league
5:14
Speaker 2: is changing fast and over time.
5:17
Speaker 1: I think it might something to keep an eye on
5:20
Speaker 1: for sure. Stay with us here on Jagzam. We're gonna
5:22
Speaker 1: look around the division before we get to training camp,
5:24
Speaker 1: see what everyone else is doing. We're gonna check out
5:26
Speaker 1: what's up with the Cults after the break. Jag Zam
5:32
Speaker 1: Today brought to you by Fresh from Florida. It is
5:35
Speaker 1: always in season. You welcome you back here. As the
5:39
Speaker 1: Jaguars are in the middle of OTZ right now, I
5:41
Speaker 1: figured it was kind of time to check in on
5:43
Speaker 1: what's going around going on in the division because we've
5:46
Speaker 1: got three more weeks until we take a little bit
5:48
Speaker 1: of a break before training camp. So let's talk about
5:50
Speaker 1: the three other teams. So checking in with the Colts.
5:52
Speaker 1: Obviously we mentioned a little bit earlier, but owner Jim
5:54
Speaker 1: ursa passing away. John, I know you worked there for
5:56
Speaker 1: some time. Hearing that news and kind of hearing all
5:59
Speaker 1: this stories coming out, You're familiar with what was going
6:02
Speaker 1: on and just kind of that blow that they're dealing
6:05
Speaker 1: with now.
6:05
Speaker 4: Yeah, I left the Colts fifteen years ago, so I
6:08
Speaker 4: knew Jim for ten years, from one to about twenty ten. Look,
6:13
Speaker 4: it'll be a blow for the franchise because he was
6:15
Speaker 4: beloved by players, coaches.
6:18
Speaker 5: He was a football guy.
6:20
Speaker 4: He had a lot of influence when I was there
6:23
Speaker 4: over President Bill Pollian being hired, Tony Dune being hired.
6:28
Speaker 4: He had a lot of say in Peyton Manning's drafting.
6:30
Speaker 4: So his football expertise that he developed when he was
6:34
Speaker 4: growing up and working as a GM, working in a
6:37
Speaker 4: lot of facets of the organization helped him to be
6:40
Speaker 4: a good owner. I don't really know that much the
6:43
Speaker 4: last fifteen years. My understanding is the daughters have taken
6:47
Speaker 4: more and more ownership.
6:50
Speaker 5: If you will, and leading the organization.
6:52
Speaker 4: Carly Will, I believe, takeover running the team's been doing
6:57
Speaker 4: it for about ten or eleven years. They've been transitioning
6:59
Speaker 4: to that for while. I don't expect, you know, and
7:02
Speaker 4: I'm talking way out of turns. I haven't been around for.
7:04
Speaker 5: A long time.
7:05
Speaker 4: I wouldn't expect the day to day and the spirit
7:08
Speaker 4: of that organization to change much with Jim's passing.
7:11
Speaker 5: But rest of peace, Jim ares.
7:12
Speaker 2: I read somewhere that Jim Ursay made Indianapolis a football town.
7:17
Speaker 2: It had been the Pacers, it had been basketball, it
7:19
Speaker 2: had been the Indy five hundred.
7:20
Speaker 5: You agree with it, No, Peyton made India football town.
7:25
Speaker 1: Okay, fair enough, let's talk a little bit about the
7:27
Speaker 1: quarterback competition in Indianapolis, because that's going to be the
7:30
Speaker 1: story for them. A lot of this year will be
7:33
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, who had his ups and downs so far,
7:35
Speaker 1: haven't seen a ton of them just due to injury
7:37
Speaker 1: and then some of his other issues on the field
7:39
Speaker 1: kind of getting benched and coming back. But now with
7:43
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones in the house as well, it'll be a
7:45
Speaker 1: little bit of a competition.
7:46
Speaker 5: Brian.
7:46
Speaker 2: Yeah, Daniel Jones obviously a more accomplished passer, but I
7:51
Speaker 2: remember Daniel Jones from a couple of years ago when
7:52
Speaker 2: he came in here beat the Jaguars with his.
7:54
Speaker 3: Legs running all over the field. This guy is an enigma.
7:58
Speaker 3: I mean, he's he's got everything you could want.
8:01
Speaker 2: He's the height, the length, speed, power, but he can't
8:05
Speaker 2: stay healthy. So just based on what we've seen from
8:08
Speaker 2: his first two years in the NFL, I would say
8:11
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones is sitting in the catfert scene.
8:13
Speaker 4: Yeah, if Anthony Richardson turns it on, he's got a chance.
8:18
Speaker 5: To be a start to be very good.
8:19
Speaker 4: But that's always been the sentence associated with him and
8:22
Speaker 4: he hasn't done it yet. So It's a smart move
8:24
Speaker 4: by the Colts to have somebody ready. I would think
8:27
Speaker 4: Anthony Richardson gets every chance, probably wins the job because
8:31
Speaker 4: of the draft status and the talent, but can he
8:34
Speaker 4: be on the field and canny play well?
8:37
Speaker 5: So smart move by the Colts.
8:38
Speaker 4: It feels like this is one of those years that
8:43
Speaker 4: for them that they do this just to make sure
8:47
Speaker 4: and then they have to move on next year.
8:48
Speaker 5: That's the vibe. But maybe Ar proves that different.
8:51
Speaker 2: Well, And I don't know that they have the surrounding
8:53
Speaker 2: cast for Daniel Jones that Sam Darnold had in Minneapolis
8:57
Speaker 2: last year, but he could be this year's Where did
9:00
Speaker 2: this guy come from?
9:02
Speaker 1: Yeah, someone in their second spot kind of getting reinventing
9:05
Speaker 1: themselves a little bit.
9:06
Speaker 3: So I'm sure we've seen he see that.
9:08
Speaker 1: Yeah, and one of those new weapons he got in
9:10
Speaker 1: the draft they drafted. They went for Tyler Warren the
9:13
Speaker 1: tight end for their first round pick. Ryan, you were
9:15
Speaker 1: at the draft, you got to speak to some of
9:16
Speaker 1: these guys. What did you hear from him and.
9:18
Speaker 3: What did you see?
9:18
Speaker 2: Well, I didn't get a chance to talk to him
9:20
Speaker 2: as much as I got a chance to see him
9:21
Speaker 2: and listen the guy has this interesting He's tall and
9:26
Speaker 2: he's long, and he's athletic, and everyone makes the comparison
9:30
Speaker 2: to the great tight ends in the game, Rob Lenkowski,
9:33
Speaker 2: who I know you covered, and Travis Kelce and the
9:36
Speaker 2: way that he was used by Penn State and their
9:40
Speaker 2: new offensive coordinator last year, guy named Andy Kolonecki. They
9:44
Speaker 2: used him in so many different ways. When you see
9:47
Speaker 2: him and you see the length that he has and
9:50
Speaker 2: just the body style, he's going to be a matchup
9:52
Speaker 2: nightmare for a lot of people because you're going to
9:55
Speaker 2: get a smaller safety or a bigger linebacker that's going
9:58
Speaker 2: to have to cover him, and he looks like a
10:00
Speaker 2: mismatch for no matter who is across from them.
10:03
Speaker 5: Yeah, he'll be very interesting.
10:04
Speaker 4: Tight end's taken that high and sort of as the
10:08
Speaker 4: chosen ones haven't.
10:09
Speaker 5: Always fared that well.
10:11
Speaker 4: Brock Bauer sort of broke that trend as a guy
10:15
Speaker 4: who you could feature into the offense. I expect Tyler
10:17
Speaker 4: Warren to be that guy and it certainly helps Anthony
10:20
Speaker 4: Richardson if he is quickly.
10:22
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, stay with us. We're gonna come back
10:24
Speaker 1: through some ozone mail bag questions. We answer questions from
10:27
Speaker 1: the fans, move the freight, Move the freight. Magellan Transport
10:35
Speaker 1: voted the coolest office space in Jacksonville. You can apply
10:37
Speaker 1: online at Magellanlogistics dot com. I got to check in
10:48
Speaker 1: with the OSA wise John Oser about some of these
10:50
Speaker 1: fan questions we have. We're gonna check in with Greg
10:53
Speaker 1: fran Jacksonville. First off, he says, do you think it
10:55
Speaker 1: is possible for a player like Travis Hunter who will
10:58
Speaker 1: go both ways? Supposedly and Rookie of the Year honors
11:01
Speaker 1: on both offense and defense? Are those awards fan based
11:03
Speaker 1: like the Pro Bowl? Or is that strictly tiers and
11:06
Speaker 1: lead voting.
11:06
Speaker 5: Well, it's funny, Brian, when every people talk about awards.
11:11
Speaker 5: Many organizations give out these awards. The most prominent Rookie.
11:15
Speaker 4: Of the Year vote is the AP vote, which is
11:18
Speaker 4: usually the most prominent of the votes. That's writers doing it.
11:23
Speaker 4: There is a offense and a defense. There's no reason
11:27
Speaker 4: why Travis Hunter, if he performs on both sides of
11:29
Speaker 4: the ball, couldn't be both. It would be amazing if
11:33
Speaker 4: he was. And then there's others. You know, it's very
11:37
Speaker 4: little peer voting in that among the more exclusive or exclusive,
11:43
Speaker 4: one of the more prestigious Sporting news has one, pfw
11:47
Speaker 4: A has one.
11:49
Speaker 5: But could he do it?
11:50
Speaker 4: Yeah, for the ones that have offense and defense, there's
11:52
Speaker 4: no reason he couldn't be voted that well.
11:54
Speaker 3: He'd have to play at an incredible level.
11:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's so hard, and I don't want
11:59
Speaker 2: to tamp down people's expectations too much, although I think
12:01
Speaker 2: they're doing a job with it by focusing his time
12:04
Speaker 2: on offense and talking about how they're going to work
12:07
Speaker 2: him in on defense. But the level of performance that
12:10
Speaker 2: it would take for a guy to play at the
12:12
Speaker 2: highest level at receiver and at corner, I just I
12:16
Speaker 2: can't get my brain wrapped around it because it takes
12:19
Speaker 2: it takes rookies time to figure out where they're supposed
12:23
Speaker 2: to be and when they're supposed to be there. Kay,
12:25
Speaker 2: let alone you know what time we eat and what
12:27
Speaker 2: time the bus shows up, and to master their their
12:31
Speaker 2: craft at a high of a level at one position.
12:34
Speaker 2: Now we're talking too, could he? I don't know. I
12:38
Speaker 2: think who are asking a lot.
12:40
Speaker 1: I think it might be tough on the defensive side
12:42
Speaker 1: of the football, just because of the amount of snaps
12:44
Speaker 1: he may get will be limited less than offense. And
12:46
Speaker 1: then also I feel like with the defensive player of
12:48
Speaker 1: the awards sometimes can edge towards, you know.
12:51
Speaker 5: Edge players because you have sacks.
12:52
Speaker 1: You can look at a specific stats. Sometimes, you know,
12:54
Speaker 1: pass breakups and things like that aren't as impressive unless
12:57
Speaker 1: you have the interception numbers. So that'll be something to keep.
13:00
Speaker 4: The spirit of the question was is it possible? Certainly, sure,
13:02
Speaker 4: it's possible he would. He would probably have to get
13:06
Speaker 4: a pick six or two, get some points and get
13:10
Speaker 4: people talking about him. I think the other reason he
13:12
Speaker 4: would have a theoretical chance is he's coming in so
13:16
Speaker 4: high profile, and often that award is sometimes it doesn't
13:21
Speaker 4: necessarily go to the most deserving, it goes to the
13:23
Speaker 4: most high profile some of these awards. So if he
13:26
Speaker 4: were to have the great offensive numbers that people expect
13:30
Speaker 4: him to have and a couple of pick sixes, he
13:32
Speaker 4: could get that sort of award. But you know, let's
13:35
Speaker 4: hope that the conversation is real in December.
13:38
Speaker 3: You take one, I mean you'd take one.
13:41
Speaker 1: I'll take any pick sixs that are available. This one
13:44
Speaker 1: is a term I hear a lot. So Christoph Fleming
13:46
Speaker 1: island ozone. Are we winning the off season again?
13:49
Speaker 4: Yeah, I kind of laughed when I was answering this question.
13:52
Speaker 4: I guess I don't know what this means anymore. I
13:55
Speaker 4: feel like they had, you know, I feel like if
13:58
Speaker 4: you ask Jaguars people, meaning James Gladstone, the people involved
14:02
Speaker 4: putting the off season together, I would think they felt
14:05
Speaker 4: like they won. Usually when people talk about winning the
14:07
Speaker 4: off season, it becomes sort of, you know, it's a
14:11
Speaker 4: little bit of a sarcasta hang, oh, we won the
14:12
Speaker 4: off season, we.
14:13
Speaker 5: Couldn't win the regular season.
14:15
Speaker 4: I didn't feel like it was that sort of off season, Brian,
14:17
Speaker 4: where they were trying to go win and trying to
14:20
Speaker 4: get headlines.
14:22
Speaker 5: So I don't feel like it's that.
14:24
Speaker 4: I feel like there's some profile to this off season
14:27
Speaker 4: because of Travis Hunter, and that's the energy. I feel
14:32
Speaker 4: like it's a good off season, but I don't know
14:33
Speaker 4: if it deserves the Oh they won the off season,
14:36
Speaker 4: they because to me, winning the off season means being stupid.
14:39
Speaker 2: I mean spending ridiculous amounts of money in free agency,
14:42
Speaker 2: which we've done around here.
14:43
Speaker 5: And I don't think that was the spirit of this offseason.
14:45
Speaker 2: No, it wasn't anything like twenty seventeen. And listen, twenty seventeen,
14:48
Speaker 2: they won the Yeah, twenty twenty three, twenty seventeen.
14:52
Speaker 3: They won the off season. Then they won in the season.
14:54
Speaker 2: But in every other year where they went out and
14:56
Speaker 2: spent incredible amounts of money, they didn't think it was
14:59
Speaker 2: just pointing.
15:00
Speaker 3: So here's how they won the off season.
15:03
Speaker 2: They brought the fan base back at the end of
15:05
Speaker 2: last year when they fired the coach and kept the
15:08
Speaker 2: GM and everybody was just done and threw their hands up,
15:12
Speaker 2: and you know, where is this thing going. Well, from
15:14
Speaker 2: the time that they made the change and hired Liam
15:16
Speaker 2: and Tony and James Gladstone and then went and spent
15:20
Speaker 2: what I thought was very prudently in free agency and
15:24
Speaker 2: then made the move to get Travis Hunter. So in
15:27
Speaker 2: that sense, they absolutely have won the off season. Because
15:31
Speaker 2: I don't know about you guys, but everywhere I go,
15:32
Speaker 2: people are excited for the season, can't wait for the season.
15:34
Speaker 2: I mean, we're standing in line at publics wherever you
15:37
Speaker 2: are on the beach on Memorial Day. Everyone wants to
15:39
Speaker 2: talk about this team. And none of us felt like
15:42
Speaker 2: that was going to be the case when the season.
15:44
Speaker 3: Ended last year.
15:44
Speaker 1: It's true, all right, And finally Keith from Titusville, Florivan,
15:47
Speaker 1: wants to talk about the safeties. He says, I feel
15:49
Speaker 1: like the depth of the safety position is not being
15:50
Speaker 1: talked about enough. Eric Murray, Darnell Savage, Antonio Johnson, Taylor Bransaw,
15:54
Speaker 1: Andrew Winger, Rayon Lane and Daniel Thomas. How many safeties
15:58
Speaker 1: do you think the team will keep?
16:00
Speaker 4: I think it's deep. I think the question is is
16:04
Speaker 4: it great? I think they think they moved to improve it.
16:08
Speaker 4: I think they showed you what they thought of last
16:11
Speaker 4: year's safeties by going out and getting Eric Murray, by
16:13
Speaker 4: drafting two, I mean they knew this was a position
16:15
Speaker 4: they had to be overhauled. I think it will be seen,
16:18
Speaker 4: you know, it remains to be seen if it's deep
16:22
Speaker 4: and as good as they want it. I think it's
16:25
Speaker 4: a position and transition.
16:30
Speaker 5: I would expect Dewey.
16:33
Speaker 4: I mentioned him first, Caleb brand Saw and Eric Murray
16:37
Speaker 4: expect to start. I expect Dewey and Rayon Lane to
16:40
Speaker 4: have key roles. After that, we'll see what happened.
16:42
Speaker 2: Passay, you're going to have five because Daniel Thomas is
16:45
Speaker 2: one of your best special teams performers and has been
16:47
Speaker 2: for a number of years, so you're not going to
16:49
Speaker 2: move him off the roster, especially with Heath Farwell sticking
16:54
Speaker 2: around as the special teams coordinator.
16:56
Speaker 3: So I would say five.
16:57
Speaker 1: I think we may see rayon lane and doing a
16:59
Speaker 1: lot of special teams as well. I know he's done
17:01
Speaker 1: that in college. That's something to keep an eye on.
17:03
Speaker 1: But I think more than anything, just different from last year.
17:05
Speaker 5: Week.
17:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, it would be great.
17:07
Speaker 5: Stay with here.
17:07
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's coming up.
17:08
Speaker 5: The rest of the.
17:08
Speaker 1: Week mentioned an eventful month for Travis Hunter. But how
17:23
Speaker 1: about this kid practicing football outside his house. Travis Hunter
17:26
Speaker 1: just walks up pretty nice surprise, And I love that.
17:29
Speaker 1: We just have all these videos. We have Travis on
17:30
Speaker 1: the plane talking to an older lady helping her with
17:33
Speaker 1: her bags, and everyone's just having a Travis Hunter run
17:36
Speaker 1: in around Jacksonville. And he's gonna be good here.
17:39
Speaker 2: I can tell he is all typic to people who
17:42
Speaker 2: have met him, they understand that this is just who
17:44
Speaker 2: he is. This is not contrived. Forget all the cameras
17:47
Speaker 2: that are always following him around.
17:48
Speaker 3: That's just the world he lives in. He is the
17:50
Speaker 3: real deal.
17:52
Speaker 5: Yeah.
17:52
Speaker 4: I think he likes people, and it seems and everybody's
17:57
Speaker 4: like this, I don't care about this. He likes making
17:59
Speaker 4: other people happy, so it's okay. Yeah, I mean, and
18:03
Speaker 4: it's cool to see it seems very genuine. Sometimes when
18:08
Speaker 4: you talk about a guy's character, and when James Glasman
18:11
Speaker 4: talks about lifting an organization, the old cynic in me
18:14
Speaker 4: is like, that didn't really happen.
18:16
Speaker 5: This kid's the real deal. It's fun to be around.
18:19
Speaker 3: Just what do what you guys think?
18:20
Speaker 2: If there's so much attention on him, much more than
18:24
Speaker 2: he had even at Colorado with Deon Sanders and that crew,
18:28
Speaker 2: you just wonder how the pressure of performing at this level,
18:34
Speaker 2: all the two way talk, the question that we got earlier.
18:37
Speaker 3: I get the spirits. Could he win both?
18:38
Speaker 2: But there will be some conversations, you know, if he
18:41
Speaker 2: goes out and has a great game on both sides
18:43
Speaker 2: of the ball. I just I wonder how he deals
18:46
Speaker 2: with it, if it's pressure or if his personality is
18:49
Speaker 2: just such that it just doesn't bother.
18:51
Speaker 5: Yeah.
18:51
Speaker 4: I think so far he's had such success that he'd
18:56
Speaker 4: probably he had many big deal The question will become
19:00
Speaker 4: adversity in the NFL, which usually even for great rookies happens.
19:03
Speaker 4: How he deals with that, but that is the question
19:06
Speaker 4: that you ask of most rookies when they come into
19:08
Speaker 4: the NFL. So uh, he'll have more attention on it,
19:11
Speaker 4: but I think he's used to that.
19:12
Speaker 1: Sure, he'll be back on the field with his teammates today, John,
19:15
Speaker 1: your favorite OTAs continue. I love it, best time of here,
19:18
Speaker 1: Helmets of Shorts. We will update you next VEHK. We'll
19:21
Speaker 1: hear from everybody a little later on today, but we'll
19:23
Speaker 1: see on Jagdam next Tuesday.
