• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I mean so for you to get to Let's just
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: talk about how you even get to UCLA from Sack.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: How do you pass up the bank? Your brother's at
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: at Cal.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: We just pass up. I know I was.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: I was loving Cal too because I knew Jack Clark,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: their rugby coach, and he was loving me too, so
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: I was gonna go play rugby there too. Rugby, Yeah,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I was doing all the col like the little they
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: had like high school camps every summer. I was going
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: to that like every summer, and just like the we
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: about camps, Well, no, it's like high school. So like
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: they're trying to earn like tags, because like you can't
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: earn a full scholarship, but you can earn like a
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: tag to get in. But I was just going out
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: there because I love rugby, So I was just doing
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: my thing. I was going to play rugby on the
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: side too. But I mean, coach Peterson came in for
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: a home visit and just changed my whole mind, changed
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: everything about the game. Like he's coming in talking about
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: you know, it's not about the next four years, but
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: it's about the next forty years. And like as a
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: high school I was kind of like nervous going on
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: the next steps and like he just kind of made
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: it comfortable for me.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dang yeah. And so you went on to that
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: soft ass blue I mean the powder blue and gold
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: down to U C l A and y'all. Y'all got
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: us this past season, not the year before. But I'm
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: not I'm not gonna lie to you, bro. I have
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: nothing but hopes and dreams for Cal. But it's been
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: a rough ten years to watch. Like when I was there,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: it was first rounders at the first round, you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: it was job at Best and before him, you know whatever,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: it was Marshawn Lynch and before him, like there was
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: always a first round or plus talent beyond the second
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: round is crazy, you know. And then after that, I
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: think I was the last first round picked till Jared
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: Goff and then since Jerry really hasn't been the.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: First round nobody.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: You know that tells you about the program.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I Mean my brother went through a lot of things
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: there too, negative things too, So I'm glad you're about it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: There, man, you know, like it's I got hopes and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: dreams for Cal. But so you go through UCLA, you
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: get drafted teeth, throt roll and fiftee through row doesn't
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: tell the true story because really you're like a lottery pick.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: You're the first defensive player to be taking off the board.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: You know, tell me how that felt in the green
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: room because this year they changes every year, so you know,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: you're in the green room and you're like, yeah, you
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: think you're gonna go somewhere.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: I wasn't even thinking about it at first, and I
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: didn't know I was the first defensive person. Like when
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: I'm back, I was sweating through my suit, nervous and
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: like walking back and forth. But once I learned about
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: it afterwards, I was like, damn, that's crazy. Like I
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: just felt like, you know, like him dunk kind of yeah.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: But I didn't know how to describe those feelings, like
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: it's just it was crazy this everything that I've been
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: through them to be like the first defense is coming
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: pretty yeah the next morning.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Big ink.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, one of these days, I'm gonna give me a
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: big piece of ink too.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Now you got to.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: That. Did it hurt?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Certain parts hurt bro the inside the inside bike.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Keep I keep hearing about the like the inside arm
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and then like the this part, I was sweating, Like.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Okay, but you're gonna be silid. You can get some
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: numbers spray too, no, no before like a man, but
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: the numbers. The only thing I'm gonna.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Do is get this legacy. Bro, Like I'm gonna get
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the legacy. Chap hops on me and then meal and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: then if if my son act the.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: Right way, you get the other boy get on your thigh. Yeah, bro,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: I got this like piece right here. But she did
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: it kind of small, so I say go big, like
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: you gotta go big.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: If I'm gonna have one piece to like stand on,
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be the legacy. So you can draft this.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Tell me, tell me what's your biggest adjustment so far
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: in the NFL.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Biggest adjustment is really just we're just getting used to
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: the facility, like being comfortable in there, like knowing where
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: to go and stuff like that. That's really the biggest adjustment.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Other than that, on the field is great. I just
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: get to learn more about pastress. I mean, I'm I'm
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: pretty like well off when I'm in the indies and
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. Like I can do the drills up
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: to you know how quitting them are doing it, learning
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: the plays. That's it's not crazy hard, especially when you
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: got dudes like e Buck and and Quitty so saw
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: them helping out too, So I mean, I'm at a
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: great place.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You're sort of stacked that line. Yeah, you're sort of stacked.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: If you think about de Buck and how he just
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: got the extension, so he gonna be saying like he's
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: gonna be there, and he's there's probably top as they
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: come in terms of tiror d Lineman and of course Quitty.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: You and now you're like, you're already formidable, and then
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: they already got two other defensive ends.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: You're like, I'm saying, the run game is gonna go
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: crazy with Raycon Davis and Grove Grover Stewart bru. I
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: know we're gonna be crazy.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: It looked good on paper and then and then the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: season takes off. And I've had seasons where you look
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: phenomenal on paper, like were about to kill him, and
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: then you end up like what happened? Or you would
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: be like, ah, we'll be all right, and the stellar season.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: So I mean, it's usually always the same thing that
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: like is why y'all can't like win, even though you
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: think you know you got a team.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: It's always the same.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: It's little like you could have an excellent team, excellent
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you know, players at each position, but it's about like,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: how are you gelling as a defense, how are you
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: gelling as a team? What's your locker room? Right? It's
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: literally a game of interest for that reason. So you're
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: going to have those times where it's like, bro, we're
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: always so close. There was one season where we lost
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: like six or seven games, but they were all by
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: like one score or less. It was all like, oh
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: we lost by four, we lost by three. So those
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: interests that cleanup is the difference can be like, oh,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I didn't you know I rushed high and my other
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: defensive rush high. So quarterback escaped a couple of times,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: led some leaky yardists, lead to whatever it was, or
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it's whatever, whatever it is. It's always you can always
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: turn on the film, but like point out two or
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: three things like, bro, we were just tighten up on here.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: And so even like you look at it on some
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of the best seasons where you go thirteen to three
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: or whatever it is, you're like, yo, we're winning these
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: games by this like a slim margin, but we're winning them.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And it's because, like, Bro, I know exactly where my
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: D line is or I can see the sync that's
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: happening on offense, Like I see all these routes being
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: ran in practice hitting, so they're hitting in the game,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: and so you're practicing these these habits and killing it
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: in practice, so it just transfers over to the game.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: So I mean the advice for you early is just
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: create your best habits in practice so you're true to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: your motor.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now that's what that's That's one thing that I've
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: been noticing too, because everybody bringing it every day.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Man, man, hey, lunch pail going to work, because that's
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: your craft. This is your craft. Like it's one thing
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: to like it, one thing to love it. It's another
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: thing to earn it. You know, everybody can say, oh
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: I love this, but do you really are you putting
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: in the work? Are you showing up at six seven
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning to get your work out in
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: before the words or are you in your prehabit which
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: prehab now is all world because when I first got
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: the league, you were like, damned if you hit the
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: three recab room. Are you like, oh you hurt? No, bro,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just trying to get you know, my
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: mobilities now It's like, are you not in the rehab room?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Are you not stretching? Are you not a plate? No, bro,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: I'm not a pilot. I'm not a yogi. Kiss my whole, dear.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: We'll be right back, but I mean, so, so now
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: you're here Las Vegas at the Sack Summit, just just
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: tell me what you're looking forward to.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I'm really just looking forward to, you know, what all
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: the vest got to say, and just little things I
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: can pick up on to you know, improve my game,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: especially in like that power mode and how to work
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: off your power to to finesse or you know, just
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: really how to work off that power where there's counter
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: after or edge move after. But really just trying to
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: like hopefully I can like get a better understanding of that,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: like while I'm here.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: To create these teching combos. Yeah, so it's all about
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: more moves, you know. You you look at the you know,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the pass rushers. You got t j Y, you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: hit you with the hits you that the rip and
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: then that tuck been.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I've been wrapping that hella, wrapping that hella.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: You know you good past ot as. Now you're out here,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: you say you're trading out.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: In l A.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah you still you still like you cla training.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Out now you still they still got my fingerprint there,
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: still putting in work.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: There like like yeah, coach, I ain't leave, I'm here
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: work all right. So so as you're going in, so
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you're breaking down film, who are you trying to immolate
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: your past rush games after?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Really like it's Max Frost T J. Watt type creating havoc.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, really just creating having getting off that rock, playing
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: with like that relentless effort. That's why I like mass
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: carsby a lot too, because like he played like it's
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: his last snap pretty much every time, right, And so
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: I mean when he's working one move to another, that's
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: how I'm trying to be. Like I'm trying to be
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: no stop working to move, not stop getting to the QB.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: And you know, I'm really just trying to like incorporate
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: that in my game, right.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Six.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember, uh, you know, just because we've got
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: saying the same agents. You know, I remember the draft
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: comparison with Trey Hendrickson. I was like, bro, he got
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: like three inches on tree speed off the edge, Like
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: who do you like? Who do you think your game
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: most resembles.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: I feel like, I mean, it's a stress because I
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: don't like, you know, y'all y'all crazy, y'all. You know, y'all,
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: y'all town is crazy. But I mean I feel like Crosby,
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: like t J. Watt, just in terms of like body sized,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: body type, in terms of moves.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: Max next to six four six five. But bro, me
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: and Max are all close. You got me by like
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: an injury and half, I swear, But I mean just
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: your passion from when I first met you at the
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: draft till now, you just seem like you genuinely, like
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: genuinely love the game. Yeah, and that like I can
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: feel that, you know, like, what is it about you
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: not taking the game for granted, you going through your injuries,
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: whatever it is to get you here? What makes you
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: love the game or whatever it is at this point.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: At first, it was that like that brotherhood and that's
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: still a thing for me, like that brotherhood, that camarderie
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: in the locker room and all that, Like I lived
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: for that. But when that was like taking away and
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: I had to really be on my own, I had to,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: like you know, because I was treating football like it's
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: my job already. So once that was taken away. I
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: really yeah.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: And so like before before the neck.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Injury, I treated football like a job already, this is
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: what I wanted to do. And once it was like
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: taking away, it's kind of like damn, Like you know,
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: it's not like what do I do now, it's just
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: you know what, you know, do I want to continue
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: like working like like I want to you know, gain
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: you know this act and like look for clearance. And
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: I really told myself like if it's not football, it's nothing.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: And I really just worked every day like there was
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: a game that weekend. I was working like you know,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: I was going to get that clearance. So I was
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: in the locker room, I was in the meeting rooms
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: at times, you know, watching stuff. But really like I
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: was talking to my coach back at you do, coach Molloy,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: like he was like the one person really that was
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: like you know, pushing me to keep training and keep
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: doing what I can to get on the field because
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: I knew my body, I knew you know, what I
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: could what I could keep doing. I went to go
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: do rugby two weeks after or two months after my
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: surgery and trying to get back to football. Yeah, out
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: here popping popping. But that's but that's what I'm saying.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: I'm going back to like some of my roots because
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: it helped me like push through. So like the conditioning,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I got to stay on top of my conditioning. But
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: then it was like a test to myself because the
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: grown man running out, grown men running out there, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: you know, I want to test like myself where I
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: could tackle, knock and run with him. And I went
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: out there, I was doing that, popping these old men.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: So I mean, you know, that just gave me more
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: confidence to be like, you know, I can still do
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: this football thing. And so that just really carried me
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: on and found the clearance. Like a couple of months later, shout.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Out to Rugby. Never didn't see that, but no doubt
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: give you that love back to the game. Yeah, oh man,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I mean you got brothers that that play football as well.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, my little brother over at Washington Kalecki, that's where
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: you went to. Yeah, lots of good I know, bro,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: he a hard worker. Two and yeah it's tough. It's tough.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah you dubbed Now, Okay, Still, I was gonna
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: say they played stayed in the pack. How do you
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: feel about the pack? I don't in the pack anymore.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: I don't like it because, like I feel like that's
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: the best conference by far, just because it's always unpredictable.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: Man, you have no idea, Like it's so much inner, Like, yeah,

  Speaker 1: each other.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: And I don't even really like I don't like watch
