  Speaker 1: So who would you say is the.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Toughest wide receiver you faced in college?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Toughly receiver I'll probably face. I'll probably say, uh, gotta
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: be out of Travis Hunter and UH mc millan kid
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: from UH player pay at Carolina right now. Yeah, probably say.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Them too, based on the success that Travis Hunters had
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: at the college level.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Do you think you're gonna see more two way players
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: in the NFL?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I really don't know.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: I ain't no two way players, so I really wouldn't know.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: I'm just focused on what I got going on right now.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: And you'll definitely p you.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: You definitely probably see more, you know, just from what
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: Travis did you know from the college and how he's
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: doing it in the league. So, uh, you probably do
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: see it more. But I wouldn't be expecting you.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: If you could play any other position besides corner, what
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: would it be?
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Oh? I probably say, uh, probably a D line or
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: old line, one of them. He ain't gotta run this much, right.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: How about your locker making? My guy Andre Sam what'd
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you learn about him? I I got a chance to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: talk to Andre lot last season.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Andre, my dog man, he gonna come in and
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: work hard, every day. Uh, he's gonna come in with
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: a bright smile on his face. You know that that
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: just gets to everybody going. You know, he's a very
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: smart kid, very great kid. Like he's he just wanna
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: be He just wanna be great. You know, So that's all,
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: that's all that matters.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Now, what was your biggest takeaway the last time you
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: guys faced the Giants?
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: I felt I felt like we came into the game.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: We came in the game prepared, but I feel like
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: we we didn't expect Uh Jackson daught to make that
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: many plays as he did, you know, scramming out of
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: pocket and things like that. But that's what we understand.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: As the game was going by, we felt like he
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: was a great quarterback. He made plays and scramble, they
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: extended plays and made sure that whatever it was, whatever
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the car was, he tried to execute it. So you know,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: we just going into this week, you know, preparing way harder,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: focusing on the right things and trying to execute when you.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Face a quarterback like that.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I know he does a lot of different things, but
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: what's the key to kind.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Of containing him?
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: You know, just team defense, especially up front. You know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: we gotta pack him and make sure he don't get out,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: get out of the gaps and things like that, make
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: sure and he's not a lot of scrumble.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: What's been your biggest focus this week, Nickel outside specials.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: A little bit of both. Well, all of them really are,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: like I say, I'm just taking everything or day by
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: day and you know, just perfecting my craft.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: What do you think the Giants did in terms of
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: offensively that I guess that they can hang their hat
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: on running game with Camp scatter Bowl.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I definitely felt like, oh, they had a
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: great running running playing game plan. Rain the ball hard,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: even if it was Scatterbule or the quarterback. You know, uh,
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: they made players under their feet. So you know, we're
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: just coming in making sure we critique everything that we
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: learned from last year.
• 3:04
