4-24 H2: Coach Brent Whitson, Reading Your Texts & Cross Talk · The Gregg Bell Show

0:00
Speaker 1: He knows the backstory of Jadarian Price.
0:03
Speaker 2: If he missed.
0:03
Speaker 1: At the top of the show, Janarit Price is why
0:07
Speaker 1: is his mother who had breast cancer when Price was
0:09
Speaker 1: twelve years old and throughout middle school into high school.
0:14
Speaker 1: He Price was taking care of his younger sisters when
0:19
Speaker 1: his mother was diagnosed. He was twelve years old and
0:21
Speaker 1: his younger sisters were ten and six. He cooked and
0:26
Speaker 1: tended for them, made sure they got to school. He
0:27
Speaker 1: got the school work done while he himself did the
0:29
Speaker 1: same thing growing up fast.
0:31
Speaker 3: The father was out of the picture.
0:33
Speaker 1: Mother had him when she was seventeen years old. That's
0:38
Speaker 1: the why he said, Mom's my rock.
0:40
Speaker 3: Well.
0:41
Speaker 1: Brett Weston, the coach at Dennison High School in Texas,
0:45
Speaker 1: knows all about that. He knows exactly the background. He
0:48
Speaker 1: saw that he was there. He was there when Price
0:51
Speaker 1: was an all district running back, rushing for fifty five
0:54
Speaker 1: touchdowns in two seasons, getting a scholarship to Notre Dame.
0:58
Speaker 3: He was there and he.
1:00
Speaker 1: Price blew out his achilles as a freshman at Notre Dame.
1:03
Speaker 1: He was there with Price and supporting Price when Price
1:08
Speaker 1: was a backup for three years to Jeremiah Love, who
1:13
Speaker 1: was the third pick in yesterday's draft. It's not like
1:15
Speaker 1: Price wasn't good, it's he wasn't as good as Love,
1:18
Speaker 1: who was the third pick in the entire draft yesterday.
1:21
Speaker 1: And we talked about how important it was to the
1:24
Speaker 1: Seahawks to Mike McDonald, to his culture that he's built
1:27
Speaker 1: in this locker room, that Jenarian Price stayed all his
1:31
Speaker 1: years at Notre Dame through the Achilles through being a backup.
1:35
Speaker 1: I mean, there are many dudes Chris who get drafted
1:38
Speaker 1: in the first round who's a backup through their senior season.
1:42
Speaker 1: I mean that's unheard of, especially in this day and
1:44
Speaker 1: age nil and transferport. There are backups. There are freshmen
1:48
Speaker 1: who never play, who get offers to go somewhere else
1:51
Speaker 1: for money.
1:52
Speaker 2: His teams just.
1:53
Speaker 4: Throw money around whether the kid has played or hasn't played. Yeah,
1:56
Speaker 4: good for him for staying true to himself and being
2:00
Speaker 4: able to understand that, yeah, he might not be starting
2:06
Speaker 4: there at Notre Dame, but he didn't just flee to
2:08
Speaker 4: the next team that was going to give him money
2:11
Speaker 4: and an opportunity to start. Because he felt value, whether
2:13
Speaker 4: it be the coaching used to have his teammates, he
2:16
Speaker 4: felt like home it was perfect for him. It was
2:18
Speaker 4: a good fit. Again, he might not be a starter,
2:20
Speaker 4: but now look at him. He has an opportunity to
2:22
Speaker 4: be said starter at the next level, which is huge.
2:25
Speaker 4: He gets to be He's one of thirty one other
2:28
Speaker 4: running backs that are starters in this league. That's a
2:31
Speaker 4: pretty impressive not to mention. As you stated, he wasn't
2:34
Speaker 4: starting at Notre Dame, but there was enough information and
2:38
Speaker 4: when you go and looked at his tape that you say,
2:40
Speaker 4: you know what, he could be a starter at the
2:42
Speaker 4: next level and the right fit. It might be the
2:44
Speaker 4: Seattle Seahawks with that offensive line that's gotten better over
2:47
Speaker 4: this past season. They have a good quarterback and Sam
2:50
Speaker 4: Darnold and have an elite defense. So you get him
2:52
Speaker 4: in the right situation. This could really work out for Jadarian.
2:55
Speaker 4: And if he went to a let's say, I don't know,
2:57
Speaker 4: Auburn or something, it was a starting running back the
3:00
Speaker 4: star you get drafted to a team that's not as
3:03
Speaker 4: well suited, maybe like the aroson the Cardinals, who I
3:05
Speaker 4: just come to find out they had the wrong number
3:08
Speaker 4: for their draft pick in Jeremiah love Kate. Who would
3:10
Speaker 4: have thought of that? The only the Arizona Cardinals could
3:12
Speaker 4: have such a thing happen. Having the wrong number for
3:14
Speaker 4: the kid, Yeah, and calling up Greg and like, hey,
3:17
Speaker 4: we got you with the third overall pick. And Greg's like, yeah,
3:20
Speaker 4: I'm actually a reporter, but that's kind of you.
3:23
Speaker 3: Thanks.
3:25
Speaker 1: If you can pull it up. He had an answer.
3:27
Speaker 1: I will read it for bad. M'd rather hear from
3:28
Speaker 1: his voice from the press conference Price yesterday talking about
3:31
Speaker 1: his decision to stay at Notre Dame. It's about midway
3:34
Speaker 1: through the press conference and we could play it, and
3:36
Speaker 1: he talked about how his heart was to stay at
3:38
Speaker 1: Notre Dame and he wanted to challenge to be behind Love.
3:43
Speaker 1: He also said, Price did that He's bread and butter
3:46
Speaker 1: is outside zone. That's what he loves. He loves one
3:49
Speaker 1: cut and go. He loves the seal and the block
3:52
Speaker 1: outside the tackle and to make the guy miss at
3:55
Speaker 1: the second level.
3:57
Speaker 3: It's like Mike McDonald.
3:58
Speaker 1: Was talking through his ear when he was talking about that,
4:00
Speaker 1: because it's exactly what they're going to do on offense,
4:03
Speaker 1: what they did on offense last year when they retooled
4:05
Speaker 1: it to outside zone, the one cutting go, which is
4:09
Speaker 1: what Kenneth Walker was really good at and there is
4:13
Speaker 1: something of a game breaking ability that Price that you
4:18
Speaker 1: had in Kenneth Walker as well, from the middle of
4:20
Speaker 1: the field, not just the goal line.
4:22
Speaker 3: And he's gonna get every opportunity.
4:24
Speaker 1: He's the only running back now of seven that they have,
4:26
Speaker 1: the only halfback who's got a contract when he signs it,
4:30
Speaker 1: He's got a contract beyond this year. He's got a
4:32
Speaker 1: four year deal, as every draft pick gets. So Jedarian
4:36
Speaker 1: Price from Dennis and Texas. We talked about his background.
4:41
Speaker 1: Brett Winston knows it better than any of us. He
4:44
Speaker 1: was this high school coach at Dennison High School in Texas.
4:48
Speaker 1: The coach joins us live on the Beacon Pumping Hotline
4:50
Speaker 1: from North Texas on ninety three point three KJFM. Good morning, coach,
4:53
Speaker 1: thank you very much for joining us here in Seattle.
4:56
Speaker 5: Good morning. Excited about JD.
4:59
Speaker 3: JD. Were already have been told that's what the cool
5:01
Speaker 3: kids call him.
5:03
Speaker 6: That's right, and and and his name is pronounced Jadi, Yes, sir,
5:07
Speaker 6: so uh and and and he's he's so.
5:10
Speaker 5: Humble he would never correct you.
5:12
Speaker 6: So I want to make sure that that you guys
5:14
Speaker 6: get it right the first time. Yes, sir, we were
5:16
Speaker 6: informed of that and we will keep working good. We
5:20
Speaker 6: will keep working on that. Thank you for that.
5:22
Speaker 1: Now I have detail I wrote about for the News
5:24
Speaker 1: Tribune last night. I deal detail at the top of
5:26
Speaker 1: our show. His upbringing and the fact that he his
5:30
Speaker 1: mother is his rock and you know that more than
5:33
Speaker 1: I do.
5:34
Speaker 2: Can you talk about absolutely Can you talk.
5:36
Speaker 1: About the influence his mother and what Jedarian had to
5:40
Speaker 1: do taking care of his daughters grown up and in
5:41
Speaker 1: through high school.
5:42
Speaker 3: Was on him.
5:44
Speaker 6: You know, the single mom thing is I mean, that's
5:47
Speaker 6: a that's a daily, you know, fact of our of
5:51
Speaker 6: our life, especially in the high school coaching business. But
5:54
Speaker 6: I don't know that I've had very many like Jedarian's mom.
5:58
Speaker 6: She is a lioness, uh fiercely protective of her kid,
6:03
Speaker 6: but has held him absolutely accountable.
6:05
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's he's a good kid.
6:08
Speaker 6: Is the most overused phrase in education, but because you know,
6:12
Speaker 6: we tend to use it as a, you know, a
6:13
Speaker 6: get out of this situation type of thing. But when
6:16
Speaker 6: you're talking about that with Jadari, and a lot of
6:18
Speaker 6: that comes back to mom and to come back to
6:20
Speaker 6: the family.
6:21
Speaker 5: He has here, his little sisters.
6:24
Speaker 6: You know, the his role in watching over them, protecting them,
6:28
Speaker 6: holding them accountable was one of the most amazing things
6:31
Speaker 6: I got to see.
6:33
Speaker 5: I inherited j D. I didn't I didn't raise him
6:36
Speaker 5: as a coach.
6:36
Speaker 6: I coached him for one year, and I make the
6:39
Speaker 6: joke that that Chad Rodgers, who was the head coach
6:41
Speaker 6: there before me, handed me an escalade and said, you know,
6:44
Speaker 6: just don't scratch it up, and that's that's kind of
6:46
Speaker 6: what we tried to do.
6:47
Speaker 1: You mentioned him watching his over his sisters. Did you
6:51
Speaker 1: ever have to make accommodations for the football part of that?
6:54
Speaker 1: Or was But I know his mother had beaten breast
6:56
Speaker 1: cancer and gotten a clear diagnosis by that point, But
6:59
Speaker 1: was there anything that he was maybe beyond the average
7:03
Speaker 1: high school football player doing outside of football the family?
7:07
Speaker 6: He was beyond the averagehigh school football player outside there
7:09
Speaker 6: in a lot of ways. One first and first and
7:12
Speaker 6: foremost scholastically. I mean, he's not just one of these.
7:15
Speaker 5: You know.
7:16
Speaker 6: He didn't get into Notre Dame because of his forty times.
7:18
Speaker 6: He got into that Notre Dame because he's a great
7:20
Speaker 6: football player and because he qualified academically if he had
7:24
Speaker 6: two left feet.
7:25
Speaker 3: But his.
7:27
Speaker 6: Outside of football, in his church and taking care of
7:30
Speaker 6: his sisters. He never asked for a single accommodation in
7:33
Speaker 6: any way, not of anything. I think the only accommodation
7:37
Speaker 6: he asked of Dennison Independent School District, ever, was to
7:40
Speaker 6: help him in his efforts to graduate early so he
7:42
Speaker 6: could get to Notre Dame in January.
7:45
Speaker 3: And that was done.
7:47
Speaker 6: And he works very very closely with the campus administration
7:50
Speaker 6: and with the assistant superintendent in charge of those things.
7:52
Speaker 6: But he did all the things it took to get done.
7:56
Speaker 6: He didn't ask somebody to do it for him.
7:57
Speaker 1: On the field all district running back as a junior
8:00
Speaker 1: and a senior. For you, your senior year at Dennison High School,
8:04
Speaker 1: can you describe his explosiveness? He did talk to this
8:07
Speaker 1: about he goes to be one cut and go outside zone.
8:10
Speaker 3: Did you see there that?
8:11
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm coaching a potential future NFL first round pick.
8:16
Speaker 6: Always felt like he would be because I knew he
8:18
Speaker 6: would do the things it took. The only time I
8:21
Speaker 6: ever got scared about that was when he went to
8:23
Speaker 6: Notre Dame and tore the Achilles right in the spring
8:26
Speaker 6: of his first in that first spring there. Of course,
8:28
Speaker 6: that was after he took a screen pass in the
8:30
Speaker 6: spring game about third play and went eighty something yards
8:32
Speaker 6: with it, so you knew, you know, all the things
8:34
Speaker 6: we'd ever seen him do.
8:36
Speaker 3: He is.
8:37
Speaker 6: He's like all great running backs, great low you know,
8:41
Speaker 6: a low center of gravity and great lower body strength.
8:44
Speaker 6: But he goes zero to sixty as fast as anybody
8:47
Speaker 6: I've ever seen, much less coached. And and then you'll
8:51
Speaker 6: see his video. I'm sure you guys have watched tons
8:53
Speaker 6: of it. Watched the number of times he absorbs twenty
8:58
Speaker 6: five percent of a lick. Twenty five guy's coming to
9:02
Speaker 6: plow him, and JD has that knack of only catching
9:05
Speaker 6: a quarter of the guy. And that's how JD has turned.
9:09
Speaker 6: And you know, watch his kickoff returns. He sees a
9:11
Speaker 6: gap and goes and then he shimmies or slips that
9:16
Speaker 6: that one bit of contact and is right back up
9:18
Speaker 6: to full speed again. Just incredible vision, great hands. He'd
9:23
Speaker 6: be a great slot receiver, you know. And I think
9:25
Speaker 6: that's kind of what they played with doing the Notre
9:27
Speaker 6: dame for a little walt till they figured out he
9:28
Speaker 6: was indeed a running back.
9:30
Speaker 1: This is the voice of coach Brett Winston, who was
9:33
Speaker 1: kind enough to join us today after I assume you
9:36
Speaker 1: were there or at least part of the celebration for
9:39
Speaker 1: Jidarian Price getting drafted to thirty second in the first
9:41
Speaker 1: round to the Seahawks. He's joining us from North Texas
9:44
Speaker 1: on the Beacon Plumbing hotline in ninety three point three KJRFM.
9:47
Speaker 4: What kind of teammate and or leader was he his
9:50
Speaker 4: senior season and how might that impact a professional locker
9:53
Speaker 4: room like the Seahawks.
9:56
Speaker 6: He'll assimilate very quickly because he is not a knee first,
9:59
Speaker 6: look at me kind of guy.
10:00
Speaker 7: I mean he will be.
10:01
Speaker 6: He was a great teammate and he was the best
10:03
Speaker 6: football player, uh in in North Texas. I'm not gonna
10:08
Speaker 6: not just at Dennison High School in our district, All state,
10:12
Speaker 6: all all district, and he was that for as his
10:14
Speaker 6: junior and senior. But I never ever ever saw him
10:18
Speaker 6: peacock one bit, never ever.
10:20
Speaker 2: He was.
10:22
Speaker 5: So humble, uh and a great friend.
10:25
Speaker 6: And he's still on a you know, a daily telephone
10:28
Speaker 6: call and a text chain with five or six of
10:30
Speaker 6: his of his teammates. And I know that because my
10:33
Speaker 6: defensive coordinator is one of those kids on that text chain.
10:36
Speaker 6: And so that's how we kind of keep up with
10:38
Speaker 6: Jadari and when he's not in town. He was a
10:41
Speaker 6: genuine friend, so admired by faculty. I mean, I keep waiting,
10:46
Speaker 6: I keep thinking I'll think of a ward, but he
10:48
Speaker 6: didn't have any. You know, he's just a guy that
10:50
Speaker 6: he is. He's everything that you picture when you try
10:53
Speaker 6: to draw that ideal student athlete.
10:55
Speaker 1: When Jennaron came back from Notre Dame, maybe after his
10:58
Speaker 1: freshman year in the Kelly or even at the end
11:01
Speaker 1: of his three seasons. Backing up Jeremi, I love what
11:03
Speaker 1: did you notice about him as a man and as
11:05
Speaker 1: a player one?
11:07
Speaker 6: You know, he was all he was a very mature
11:09
Speaker 6: eighteen year old. He's a really mature twenty one year
11:12
Speaker 6: old took you know, he'd never had any money. He
11:15
Speaker 6: didn't have any money, Their family didn't have any money,
11:18
Speaker 6: and and you know, nil and the things that college
11:21
Speaker 6: football gives them then opportunity to do. Now, I'm really
11:25
Speaker 6: proud of how he's assumed, how he's assumed the responsibility
11:28
Speaker 6: of managing mat and helping family with it. Mom but
11:33
Speaker 6: being but you know, having some real pride and some
11:36
Speaker 6: self worth about the ability to do that. The other
11:39
Speaker 6: thing I noticed is that his chest.
11:40
Speaker 5: Got really really wide and really really big.
11:44
Speaker 6: He got in the weight room and got after the
11:46
Speaker 6: physical difference is when he came back were startling. It
11:51
Speaker 6: gave me a real new appreciation my son played college
11:53
Speaker 6: football and I didn't see the changes in him over.
11:56
Speaker 5: Four years that I saw in five months for JD.
11:59
Speaker 6: Training table, you know, training table, reliable three per day,
12:02
Speaker 6: and and then the ability to get in the weight
12:05
Speaker 6: room to the to the volume those guys do he
12:08
Speaker 6: ate it up.
12:09
Speaker 1: You mentioned the physical physical development. He said he weighed
12:12
Speaker 1: two o three at the combine, which with the league
12:14
Speaker 1: measured him at, and he said that was light for him.
12:16
Speaker 1: He plays around two ten once he played two ten
12:18
Speaker 1: for the Seahawks. What was his growth from high school?
12:20
Speaker 1: What did he play for you? Roughly as a senior
12:22
Speaker 1: at Dennis in high school and up to two oh
12:24
Speaker 1: three two ten at Notre Dame.
12:28
Speaker 6: It was amid the HIGHA one eighties, Like when he'd
12:30
Speaker 6: be running track, he would get down one hundred and
12:32
Speaker 6: eighty two or eighty three. When that first spring when
12:36
Speaker 6: I came in his junior year, I was actually kind
12:39
Speaker 6: of surprised at how slight he looked, because I watched
12:42
Speaker 6: him work in the weight room, I thought, oh, take
12:44
Speaker 6: your shirt off, let me see what you got here.
12:46
Speaker 6: And he was still he was pretty slight by the
12:49
Speaker 6: time he graduated, by the time he left in January
12:52
Speaker 6: of twenty two. Again, I'm you know, I remember his
12:56
Speaker 6: program weight being one hundred and eighty seven, But of course,
12:58
Speaker 6: you know I was six two and in the program
13:00
Speaker 6: when I was in high school, so I don't know that. Well,
13:02
Speaker 6: I don't know how much credibility there is in that,
13:04
Speaker 6: but uh, pretty solid that he put on good fifteen
13:08
Speaker 6: pounds of muscle in that first eight to nine months
13:11
Speaker 6: he was at South ben.
13:13
Speaker 4: When you look back at it, coach and you look
13:16
Speaker 4: at that senior season that he had with you, is
13:18
Speaker 4: there a specific game or even a moment where you felt, Man,
13:21
Speaker 4: this this young kid is very special.
13:24
Speaker 6: Well, I mean the very first one I got to
13:26
Speaker 6: coach him, and it's it's the most overblown thing in
13:29
Speaker 6: the world, but the Battle of the Acts between Sherman
13:31
Speaker 6: and Dennison. JD went for I think two thirty five
13:37
Speaker 6: and busted the thing open at the end of the
13:38
Speaker 6: first half of two sixty plus runs, and I that
13:42
Speaker 6: was because you're in you know, you're in preseason practice
13:44
Speaker 6: and you scrimmaged somebody. I didn't want him touch the
13:46
Speaker 6: ball on a scrimmage. But then when we got to
13:48
Speaker 6: let him go, Uh, that was the first moment where
13:51
Speaker 6: I thought I had that I was going to be
13:53
Speaker 6: responsible for, you know, keeping something very very special on
13:56
Speaker 6: the field as much as we could and productive. And
13:59
Speaker 6: then about three quarters the year through his senior year,
14:01
Speaker 6: he went for three twenty five against one of the
14:03
Speaker 6: Frisco schools and it was the most effortless three twenty
14:06
Speaker 6: five you've ever seen. His Loby went back after the
14:09
Speaker 6: ball game and you look at the stat sheet and
14:11
Speaker 6: you go, he did what you just didn't You didn't
14:14
Speaker 6: remember you got where you took for granted this twelve
14:17
Speaker 6: yard run and this fourteen yard run because you remember
14:20
Speaker 6: the thirty five and the fifty. Just a guy that
14:24
Speaker 6: makes the game look so he said, But you know,
14:26
Speaker 6: there's there were a lot of guys last night that
14:27
Speaker 6: got their name called that make the game look easy.
14:30
Speaker 5: I just got the witness one in.
14:31
Speaker 1: Person, Coach Brett Weston, did he did you give him
14:34
Speaker 1: the ball for thirty forty times?
14:36
Speaker 3: Did you have a governor?
14:37
Speaker 7: Hum?
14:37
Speaker 4: Did you not need to because he was galloping for
14:39
Speaker 4: three hundred and ten carries.
14:40
Speaker 3: What kind of belkow was he?
14:41
Speaker 5: For you?
14:43
Speaker 6: Early in the year, we did kind of put a
14:44
Speaker 6: pitch count on him, and as the year went on
14:48
Speaker 6: and he asked for it more and more, what we
14:50
Speaker 6: did was we we took care of that with with
14:54
Speaker 6: you know, kind of rationing his practice reps so that
14:57
Speaker 6: Friday he would be No, he never asked out. He
14:59
Speaker 6: was you know, he would have been dragging a leg
15:02
Speaker 6: and wouldn't have missed practice. He's going to be out
15:04
Speaker 6: there with us because that was you know, that's a
15:05
Speaker 6: teammate thing. But as we got late in year, I
15:09
Speaker 6: think I think that that that Liberty Ball game that
15:12
Speaker 6: he went for three twenty five, I want to say
15:14
Speaker 6: he had twenty eight carries. I know we went to
15:18
Speaker 6: Ennis in our playoff game and I think he had
15:20
Speaker 6: thirty four thirty five carries.
15:22
Speaker 5: So as we got late in the year.
15:24
Speaker 6: I mean it's kind of like he heard all these
15:25
Speaker 6: great backs that they get better in the second half.
15:27
Speaker 6: Well he got much, he got more opportunities. The thing
15:31
Speaker 6: that nobody talked about at that time was that, yeah,
15:33
Speaker 6: he carried it. I think thirty four times against Nus,
15:36
Speaker 6: but he had six catches too, you know so, and
15:39
Speaker 6: would step up and plant somebody in pass protection. So
15:42
Speaker 6: physicality has never been a problem for him.
15:44
Speaker 1: Coach Brett Wiston, his Jendaring Prices High School coach in
15:50
Speaker 1: Dennis and Texas on the Red River across the Oklahoma
15:53
Speaker 1: border in North Texas. If you could give one active you,
15:56
Speaker 1: one thing that you want Seahawks in the Pacific Northwest.
16:00
Speaker 1: I know about their new running back, the greatest trade,
16:02
Speaker 1: the greatest anecdote, the thing you would love people to
16:05
Speaker 1: know out.
16:06
Speaker 3: Here when they get to know him. What would you
16:07
Speaker 3: say about jdari In Price?
16:10
Speaker 6: Probably Well, I'm just gonna say he's the most honorable
16:12
Speaker 6: young man I ever coached.
16:14
Speaker 5: From a standpoint.
16:15
Speaker 6: All the things that you asked the good players and
16:19
Speaker 6: the great people come out of your program to be,
16:23
Speaker 6: he did them all, and he did him with honor,
16:26
Speaker 6: and he didn't he never did him with a you know,
16:29
Speaker 6: look at me attitude. He's just honorable, is the That's
16:34
Speaker 6: the word that's always come to mind with him.
16:36
Speaker 3: The world needs a few more of those.
16:39
Speaker 6: Thank you, sir, Thank you for what you do.
16:43
Speaker 1: Thank you for coming on with us. Greatly appreciated. I
16:46
Speaker 1: guess would be you should probably getting a shipment from
16:48
Speaker 1: the Seahawks headquarters and getting some sea here down.
16:51
Speaker 5: I'm waiting for some slash.
16:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably on its way. Thank you, sir, all right,
16:57
Speaker 3: thank you guy. Be well.
16:58
Speaker 1: Coach Brett Winston Jadarian Prices high school coach in Dennis
17:02
Speaker 1: in Texas. He's I moved on to another school, but
17:06
Speaker 1: he was the senior year coach. He inherit him as
17:08
Speaker 1: he said, arrived junior year spring.
17:12
Speaker 3: Interesting.
17:12
Speaker 1: He said that Jadarion Price graduated early from high school
17:16
Speaker 1: amid all of what was going on with his mother
17:19
Speaker 1: battling cancer and beating it with Price raising helping raise
17:23
Speaker 1: his younger sisters through all of that, he graduated high
17:27
Speaker 1: school early and entered Notre Dame. As a lot of
17:30
Speaker 1: big school programs do, they like to get their guys,
17:32
Speaker 1: their top recruits on campus as soon as possible January,
17:36
Speaker 1: at the end of the semester of senior year high school,
17:39
Speaker 1: so they can get a head start on spring practice.
17:41
Speaker 3: Well, he did that.
17:43
Speaker 1: And not only did he did that, and then he
17:45
Speaker 1: rips out his achilles and he missed his whole freshman year,
17:49
Speaker 1: stayed at Notre Dame. As we said, people are asking
17:52
Speaker 1: on the text line of the Komododge text line four
17:54
Speaker 1: nine four to five one. Yes, he did graduate. He
17:57
Speaker 1: graduated before the end of his playing career. He is
18:00
Speaker 1: not just a football player or a jock. And you
18:03
Speaker 1: heard his coach just mentioned his high school coach say
18:07
Speaker 1: how everything he does is honorable, the most honorable young
18:09
Speaker 1: man I've ever coached, and coaches in Texas, they tend
18:13
Speaker 1: to coach for a long time with coaching a lot
18:15
Speaker 1: of young men.
18:16
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's saying something.
18:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, now he's an ad so good for him. But yeah,
18:20
Speaker 4: it was funny when he called me. He was, I
18:22
Speaker 4: am so sorry, man. I was in the meeting. You know,
18:24
Speaker 4: you talked to me last night, and my bad.
18:26
Speaker 2: I just who's this?
18:27
Speaker 4: Ye, I don't remember blowing me up, blowing so I
18:29
Speaker 4: just kept blowing you all and then I was like, oh, shoot,
18:31
Speaker 4: I completely forgotten he called me. He called me while
18:34
Speaker 4: we were talking and he was, I'm so sorry, man,
18:36
Speaker 4: I just meant a meeting, blown me up.
18:39
Speaker 2: Oh it's all.
18:39
Speaker 3: Good, coach.
18:40
Speaker 4: I know you're a busy man. That's why I called
18:41
Speaker 4: you the Greek confirm and it's all good. So, yeah,
18:44
Speaker 4: he's a busy guy. But yeah, that was cool that
18:46
Speaker 4: he spent some time on the show talking about JD.
18:48
Speaker 4: So it sounds like to see ours got a gym
18:50
Speaker 4: as they always do, right.
18:51
Speaker 1: As they tend to do with the character guys. That's
18:54
Speaker 1: their impetus, their mo and he's They certainly seem to
18:57
Speaker 1: have gotten one in JEDII and Price.

20:06
Speaker 1: over to you your chance to be a part of
20:07
Speaker 1: the show. At four nine, four or five one.
20:10
Speaker 4: You guys spoke about the eight minutes, Well, you know what,
20:13
Speaker 4: the eight minutes didn't matter to the viewers, and that's
20:15
Speaker 4: when the two five to three you know, probably not,
20:18
Speaker 4: I would guess, I wouldn't know. Actually doesn't matter to
20:22
Speaker 4: me because I'm not trying to sit up there and
20:24
Speaker 4: be like, yo, ten minutes to make a pick?
20:25
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me? Ten minutes?
20:27
Speaker 4: That's a long time. Yeah, it's always a BUTU whatever,
20:30
Speaker 4: And everyone uses.
20:31
Speaker 1: All ten minutes because you're waiting to fetch potential draft
20:34
Speaker 1: or trade options at the last second.
20:37
Speaker 2: Yes, eh, did you have one great. Did you want
20:40
Speaker 2: to go.
20:40
Speaker 1: Through five h nine says oh mg, a young man
20:43
Speaker 1: that values education with an exclamation point three six. Oh
20:46
Speaker 1: did price graduate? Maybe he stayed to get the education.
20:49
Speaker 1: A Notre Dame degree is pretty impressive and valuable. Yes, yes,
20:52
Speaker 1: and yes he did stay to get his degree, and
20:54
Speaker 1: a Notre.
20:55
Speaker 3: Dame education is valuable.
20:56
Speaker 1: And as you heard his coach Brett Winston tell us
21:00
Speaker 1: from North Texas, just a moment ago.
21:02
Speaker 3: He didn't get in because just it was forty.
21:03
Speaker 1: Time, or the fact that he ran three hundred and
21:05
Speaker 1: twenty five yards in games of senior year. He got
21:07
Speaker 1: in because of his academics, and you don't get into
21:10
Speaker 1: Notre Dame.
21:10
Speaker 3: I mean, Notre Dame is.
21:11
Speaker 1: Still big time football, but you still have to clear
21:13
Speaker 1: the academic piece to get into the program and to graduate.
21:16
Speaker 3: When he did. He got into early.
21:18
Speaker 1: He enrolled early as of January and roly as a
21:20
Speaker 1: freshman to get the spring practice for Notre Dame early.
21:24
Speaker 4: From the two five to three, you guys are missing
21:26
Speaker 4: the point by taking a quarterback. The Rams messed up
21:28
Speaker 4: the Seahawks from trading down. Great strategy.
21:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about that. I wrote it last night.
21:33
Speaker 1: The News Tribune. The Seahawks were I don't know if
21:36
Speaker 1: counting on what we're expecting Simpson to be at thirty
21:40
Speaker 1: two to facilitate more teams quarterback needy teams coming up
21:44
Speaker 1: from the second round back into the first of the
21:45
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals was the team that was the most predicted
21:50
Speaker 1: to do just that. There were others. But then when
21:52
Speaker 1: Simpson left at thirteen to the Rams, much to Sean
21:55
Speaker 1: mcvay's dismay, that piece that made John Schneider's job more difficult.
22:01
Speaker 1: He was going to have to go out and sell
22:03
Speaker 1: pushing back from thirty two and trading down and no buyers.
22:07
Speaker 1: The six trades right in front of him evaporated the market,
22:11
Speaker 1: and that's why the Seahawks didn't trade back. I'm convinced
22:14
Speaker 1: that they wanted price. But in the second round they
22:17
Speaker 1: were going to trade down. They were going to get
22:18
Speaker 1: a fourth round pick, say picked seven, eight, nine, ten
22:21
Speaker 1: into the second round, and still get price.
22:24
Speaker 4: From the two, five to three, the remaining three picks
22:26
Speaker 4: should be all on defense. Depth, depth depth, Boaster, a
22:32
Speaker 4: unit that's already elite, couldn't agree more.
22:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're going to defense.
22:37
Speaker 1: I think edge corner, maybe in a safety like you
22:41
Speaker 1: talked about post Kobe Bryant and defensive tackle big Citrus Dominic.
22:47
Speaker 2: Gory Gregg's favorite guy.
22:48
Speaker 3: I'm for him now. I'm on his trade.
22:50
Speaker 1: Three hundred and seventy plus pound guy who stayed four
22:54
Speaker 1: years at Ames Iowa and turned down Williams to be Ames.
22:56
Speaker 1: I if you haven't been Names Iowa man, and you
22:58
Speaker 1: stayed four years and turned down millions of dollars, you
23:00
Speaker 1: got something character.
23:02
Speaker 3: There's some good stuff and loyalty going on there.
23:04
Speaker 4: Yes, from the four two five, Greg, you did ask
23:08
Speaker 4: the question about where the Seahars go next. Four to
23:11
Speaker 4: five says easy, just hit on the next three picks cornerback, edge,
23:15
Speaker 4: and maybe O line.
23:17
Speaker 2: That's an interesting one. Yeah, And I'm guessing you're.
23:20
Speaker 4: Four to two five you're not a big fan of
23:22
Speaker 4: Anthony Bradford based on that O line selection.
23:25
Speaker 2: But hey, I understand, I get it.
23:27
Speaker 1: I'm predicting the Seahawks and the six round tomorrow take
23:29
Speaker 1: and as Cooper the starting right card for four years
23:32
Speaker 1: at the University of Miami, oh. Anthony Bradford is in
23:35
Speaker 1: his final year of his contract this year.
23:38
Speaker 2: That's true, Okay, all right, let me write that down.
23:41
Speaker 1: Gregg's prediction two oh six Jidarian Price, This backstory of
23:46
Speaker 1: his mom cancered and beating in him taking care of
23:48
Speaker 1: his ten and six year old sisters of his aunt's
23:50
Speaker 1: uncle's grandparents, go into all these chemotherapy sessions. This is
23:55
Speaker 1: the stuff we want to hear. And the call from
23:58
Speaker 1: Snyder and McDonald welcome him. Great journalism, the heartbeat of
24:01
Speaker 1: these players for the Seahawks. Thanks, thanks Stan from Seattle.
24:05
Speaker 1: That's exactly what I'm trying to get to and then
24:07
Speaker 1: to share with all of you. We all see the
24:09
Speaker 1: players on television. We all know by reading their stats
24:12
Speaker 1: and their draft capsules who they are in the field
24:15
Speaker 1: and the forty yard dash times.
24:17
Speaker 3: Who are these people?
24:18
Speaker 2: How'd they get here? What's their story?
24:20
Speaker 1: And when I meet players for the first time in
24:22
Speaker 1: any sport, and even in college when I worked at
24:24
Speaker 1: the University of Washington for five years, I asked them,
24:27
Speaker 1: how'd you get here?
24:28
Speaker 3: What's your why?
24:30
Speaker 1: And they love talking about because they all have a
24:32
Speaker 1: unique story and it's their own and they owned it.
24:35
Speaker 1: And a lot of them, let's face it, a lot
24:37
Speaker 1: of them have stories of fractured homes. As his coach
24:41
Speaker 1: Brent Whitson said to us, it's a fact of life.
24:43
Speaker 1: Sixty percent of America have divorce rate in this kind
24:47
Speaker 1: of have divorces. That's a divorce rate in this country.
24:50
Speaker 1: And so a single mom raising there's a story there
24:54
Speaker 1: and the inspiration and a young man who is motivated
24:57
Speaker 1: by his mother, that's a story. And what did your mom,
25:01
Speaker 1: how did she motivate you? That's a story.
25:03
Speaker 2: My mom's ninety years old. She has heavy dementia.
25:06
Speaker 1: She lives in suburban Detroit near my twin sister, my
25:08
Speaker 1: twin sisters closer. She can help take care where she's
25:11
Speaker 1: in a memory care facility. She doesn't know who I am.
25:14
Speaker 1: I go back all the time. I go back a
25:16
Speaker 1: couple times a year. I'm more like six, seven, eight
25:18
Speaker 1: times a year, and she doesn't.
25:20
Speaker 3: Know who I am. And when you have memories of your.
25:25
Speaker 1: Mom and memories of your dad or any of your
25:28
Speaker 1: parents and the family members, and when they're gone, they're gone,
25:32
Speaker 1: and those memories and it's cool, it's cool to hear
25:37
Speaker 1: their backstories. And it was really cool last night to
25:39
Speaker 1: hear Jedari and Price how much he respects and admires
25:42
Speaker 1: and is motivated insprited by his mother for what she
25:45
Speaker 1: got through having breast cancer when he was twelve years old.
25:48
Speaker 1: It's to me, that's the essence of sports writing. It's
25:51
Speaker 1: not about the sports, it's about the people. I do
25:54
Speaker 1: my best and my career and here at KGr to
25:57
Speaker 1: bring you the story of who these people are as people.
26:00
Speaker 1: You know him as players, you see them all the time.
26:01
Speaker 1: You have the helmets and shoulder pads on, batting helmets
26:05
Speaker 1: and gloves, But who are they as people? And I
26:07
Speaker 1: hope if I'm successful in doing that at all, I
26:09
Speaker 1: feel like I did my job.
26:11
Speaker 4: From the four two five, I thought it was so
26:13
Speaker 4: cool before Pittsburgh picked that they had a hype video
26:17
Speaker 4: and played Renegade. Yeah yeah, how cool for their fan base.
26:20
Speaker 4: This is why I think the draft should rotate around
26:23
Speaker 4: all thirty two teams. I know the NFL wants to
26:25
Speaker 4: make money, but I think it's a way for them
26:27
Speaker 4: to give back to the fan base and show them
26:30
Speaker 4: they value Them's picturing what it would be like to
26:33
Speaker 4: have the draft here in Seattle.
26:35
Speaker 2: What song would they play? Bitter Sweet Symphony?
26:37
Speaker 3: Oh? I hope not.
26:40
Speaker 1: Why that is such a bad song for a football environment?
26:43
Speaker 3: Isn't it.
26:45
Speaker 2: It's like you're down at Benlroya Hall or something.
26:48
Speaker 1: How about Nirvana?
26:49
Speaker 3: Well, I guess the crack in the corner of the
26:51
Speaker 3: market on that.
26:52
Speaker 4: Hey, Pearl Jams Johns some love here cracking, it's all right.
26:55
Speaker 4: Trying to hype up the fan base in Seattle for
26:57
Speaker 4: the draft, Pearl Jam Jimmy Hendricks, Jimmy Hendricks. That would
27:03
Speaker 4: be yeah, trying to find a song that would spin
27:06
Speaker 4: well for that. But I'm sure they can find something.
27:08
Speaker 4: But you're not in on symphony. How you're you're out.
27:10
Speaker 4: It's just so odd when the Seahawks come out.
27:13
Speaker 1: They're a crescendo of a week of anticipation waiting for
27:17
Speaker 1: this game.
27:18
Speaker 2: Football gladiators, and you get bittersweet symphony in these violins playing.
27:26
Speaker 1: Seriously, no, no, no, it's like we're going to a recital.
27:30
Speaker 2: I mean, can they find nothing else?
27:34
Speaker 1: I think I know the jenis I have heard one time.
27:36
Speaker 1: The backstory why it's that? But come on, Hendricks is
27:40
Speaker 1: great a legend here?
27:42
Speaker 3: Yeah?
27:43
Speaker 4: Those are we come up with the song for sure?
27:46
Speaker 4: The draft was here? Oh okay, fair enough. Let me
27:49
Speaker 4: think about that one for a minute. That's a good one. Four,
27:51
Speaker 4: two five. Last one for me, Mohammed or Ponds at
27:54
Speaker 4: sixty four? What do you think about those two? Greg,
28:02
Speaker 4: I'm hesitating. Brandon Ceci is what I'm thinking about.
28:04
Speaker 3: That was quick.
28:05
Speaker 2: I'm stuck on him. It's okay as soon as their position.
28:09
Speaker 1: Coach at South Carolina said that he knows all eleven
28:11
Speaker 1: players on defense's responsibilities for every play in the playbook.
28:14
Speaker 1: I said, Aha, that's Mike McDonald all over it. Not
28:17
Speaker 1: the fact, not to mention the fact that he's a
28:18
Speaker 1: great run stopper, plays inside and outside out the corner
28:22
Speaker 1: could give multiplicity in McDonald's defense. And Woolan just left
28:25
Speaker 1: for Philadelphia. That's who i'd pick at sixty four. The
28:28
Speaker 1: question is will he be available? And then I'm gonna
28:31
Speaker 1: keep pouting it. Big Citrus round three tonight. I will
28:34
Speaker 1: be a happy man. If dominic Orians Big Citrus from
28:36
Speaker 1: North Kansas City and Idaho Iowa State Ames Iowa, turned
28:40
Speaker 1: down millions to stay in among the silos of Ames,
28:43
Speaker 1: Iowa Northeast Iowa. If he comes to Seattle, I will
28:47
Speaker 1: have a few more things to write about, for sure,
28:49
Speaker 1: the loyalty of that I like your Jimmy Hendrick's idea
28:53
Speaker 1: for it? Do we want the draft in Seattle?
28:55
Speaker 4: Though I'm selfish, I really don't care for the traffic
28:59
Speaker 4: so negative, but I guess that wouldn't sure have in Seattle?
29:06
Speaker 4: A purple sheet? Can I produce from home? Do this
29:08
Speaker 4: sow from the crib?
29:09
Speaker 7: Is that?
29:10
Speaker 4: Is that something you can make work? It's twenty twenty six, Oh,
29:12
Speaker 4: by the draft twenty thirty? How about that four years
29:14
Speaker 4: from now?
29:15
Speaker 1: Speaking of purple sheet, how about Hendricks purple Hayes, there's
29:19
Speaker 1: a backdraft to the drink ay that might be great.
29:21
Speaker 3: Along the Watchdower.
29:22
Speaker 1: Maybe come on now, those of you under thirty need

29:51
Speaker 1: me Friday to you On ninety three point three KJRFM,
29:54
Speaker 1: home of the NFL Draft, and from Seahawks headquarters here
29:57
Speaker 1: the next two days. Despite what MS Moss said to
30:00
Speaker 1: you on that update, it's Jadarian Price dars in cars, Yes,
30:06
Speaker 1: stars and car. Hello, I Infernas from the Virginia Mason
30:09
Speaker 1: Athletic Center.
30:10
Speaker 7: Hello, sir, how are you?
30:11
Speaker 3: I'm okay.
30:12
Speaker 1: I stayed a little later than you did last night,
30:14
Speaker 1: but not much not much later.
30:17
Speaker 8: Yeah, you scribes had to finish writing your stuff. So
30:21
Speaker 8: how was a dinos with Hugh Oh?
30:23
Speaker 3: Of course, well you were dinos. I was writing about Jadarian.
30:25
Speaker 1: Prices why his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. If
30:29
Speaker 1: you missed that story, go to the Newstribune dot com.
30:31
Speaker 1: While there, subscribe a subscription you can see all the
30:33
Speaker 1: stories I write about the whys of the Seahawks players.
30:37
Speaker 1: What struck you about what happened last night, sir?
30:41
Speaker 8: Well, I thought it was a there were so many
30:43
Speaker 8: things going on, but just Seahawks centric. I thought they
30:46
Speaker 8: probably I wanted to see a camera in the Seahawks
30:49
Speaker 8: draft room when the Rams picked at thirteen and they
30:53
Speaker 8: didn't take a guy like Ruben Bain to absolutely wreak
30:56
Speaker 8: havoc on Seattle and everybody else in the NFC west
31:00
Speaker 8: to pairing him with Fisk and Verse and those guys. Instead,
31:03
Speaker 8: they took a project quarterback. And I'm assuming that you know,
31:06
Speaker 8: you see all his reactions and draft rooms guys high
31:08
Speaker 8: fiving and hugging and all happy and stuff. I bet
31:11
Speaker 8: that's what the Seahawks, the forty nine ers, and the
31:13
Speaker 8: Cardinals were doing at that point. And then you know,
31:16
Speaker 8: then they get to thirty two and they see, you know,
31:19
Speaker 8: what was it, five of the six picks right directly
31:21
Speaker 8: ahead of them get moved within moments of them being
31:23
Speaker 8: on the clock. And ye, and they take a player
31:28
Speaker 8: that they wanted. I think that's the most important thing
31:31
Speaker 8: that's there. They did take a player that they wanted,
31:34
Speaker 8: but not where they wanted to take him, I think
31:37
Speaker 8: is the best way to put it. Yeah, they would
31:39
Speaker 8: never say that publicly, but the visuals of them at
31:43
Speaker 8: the table were striking, to say the very least. So, yeah,
31:48
Speaker 8: they got a really good They got the player they wanted.
31:50
Speaker 8: They got a running back one. They filled the biggest
31:53
Speaker 8: need they probably had on the roster. And and but
31:57
Speaker 8: I think they were obviously at I don't think, I don't.
32:00
Speaker 8: I mean, it just seemed certainly that they were disappointed
32:02
Speaker 8: with the fact they couldn't move down and acquire more picks.
32:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point, is that they wanted Price,
32:08
Speaker 1: they thought they could get him in the second round
32:10
Speaker 1: plus gain a fourth round pick, and treading down and
32:13
Speaker 1: doing so. And I don't think they meant to do it.
32:16
Speaker 1: It probably wasn't the first thing to do. But the
32:17
Speaker 1: forty nine ers screwed him and the Rams and indirectly
32:20
Speaker 1: screwed them too well.
32:21
Speaker 8: I mean, and you know, that's not just us saying that.
32:24
Speaker 8: It's I think Andrews or Jackson. When they were running
32:28
Speaker 8: the show Force back at the studios last night, they
32:31
Speaker 8: counted at four different times Schneider brought up the fact
32:33
Speaker 8: that that's what that they wanted to move down, So
32:36
Speaker 8: you know, it's his words that were interpreting there, and
32:41
Speaker 8: you know, and then also just the body language demeanor.
32:44
Speaker 8: But yeah, I listen, take that aside. They got the
32:47
Speaker 8: guy they wanted. They write a player that they got
32:49
Speaker 8: a player they wanted. Ideally, you accumulate more draft picks,
32:53
Speaker 8: and ideally, I guess the thing, I don't know, Greg.
32:58
Speaker 7: I mean, we've all been doing it for a long time.
33:01
Speaker 8: The whole.
33:03
Speaker 7: Did you get the value for the guy and all that? Listen?
33:06
Speaker 8: If then we'll use the RAMS. If they really wanted
33:08
Speaker 8: Ty Simpson, which I think is really debatable, but if
33:11
Speaker 8: they really, I mean I think one of them did.
33:12
Speaker 8: I don't think the two of them did. Although Jeremy Fowler,
33:17
Speaker 8: I'll tell you, man, it's a bad time to be
33:19
Speaker 8: a national media person in the NFL. I don't know
33:23
Speaker 8: what these men and women can do, but I look
33:27
Speaker 8: at things so differently now. He just said a tweet
33:30
Speaker 8: and wrote a story today. I'm going sideways here for
33:32
Speaker 8: a second. But inside the RAMS decision to select ty
33:36
Speaker 8: Simpson number thirteen, if Simpson was there, they were taking him. Okay, great,
33:44
Speaker 8: you cannot convince me that Sean McVay wanted that guy.
33:47
Speaker 7: There's no chance you can convince me that.
33:49
Speaker 8: But you're gonna yeah, because you're in there, and you're
33:51
Speaker 8: gonna pairt them and do as you're told, much like
33:54
Speaker 8: you know Vrabel did what you know, told Rassini.
33:57
Speaker 7: Stuff and on and on and on.
34:00
Speaker 8: But you know, if they want, if, if less need
34:03
Speaker 8: wanted him, whether it was thirteen or thirty three, I
34:06
Speaker 8: guess they got their quarter. He got his quarterback. I
34:07
Speaker 8: don't think the head coach wanted them. The Seahawks wanted
34:10
Speaker 8: price and they got them. They just got them, probably
34:13
Speaker 8: earlier than they wanted to.
34:15
Speaker 1: You, sir, are feeling a little bit how the sausage
34:17
Speaker 1: is made with national NFL.
34:18
Speaker 2: What's reporting?
34:19
Speaker 8: No, And we've known it for a while, and I've
34:22
Speaker 8: seen so much crap over the years. It's made me
34:24
Speaker 8: sick to my stomach. And I'm glad, honestly, the where
34:27
Speaker 8: I think about it, I'm glad it's out. I'm glad
34:29
Speaker 8: someone got caught. I'm glad someone got nailed. I really am.
34:32
Speaker 8: And I like Diana, you know, she worked with us
34:35
Speaker 8: for a long time. But the greasy stuff that we've
34:38
Speaker 8: seen over the hell, you were there. You were part
34:40
Speaker 8: of that whole thing in Carolina with Britt McHenry right in,
34:44
Speaker 8: you know, like I watched her and Josina Anderson for years.
34:48
Speaker 8: I just felt it just made me sick to my stomach.
34:51
Speaker 2: Well, not just women, and not just if I want
34:53
Speaker 2: to say that.
34:54
Speaker 8: By swimming, but there were those that did use their
34:57
Speaker 8: looks like and not necessarily sleep with somebody, but just
35:01
Speaker 8: cuddling up in hey smile. I mean I now the
35:05
Speaker 8: guys you do it a different way. They they snuggle
35:08
Speaker 8: up to agents. Well, there's different ways that. There's different
35:12
Speaker 8: ways to do it, and I get it.
35:14
Speaker 7: I don't know.
35:15
Speaker 8: It's I look at all these guys and I just
35:17
Speaker 8: want to just get off social media.
35:19
Speaker 7: But we can't. We're not allowed to. So whatever.
35:21
Speaker 3: I'm kind of I don't do much.
35:25
Speaker 7: You know, I don't do much. I'm tired of it.
35:27
Speaker 8: But yeah, hey, let's let's circle back the why of
35:31
Speaker 8: Jadarian Price. Pretty damn cool it is, and I thought
35:36
Speaker 8: I'm gonna talk about this. I thought one of the
35:38
Speaker 8: things that jumped out at me the word they used
35:40
Speaker 8: over and over again, the loyalty work. I thought that
35:43
Speaker 8: was really interesting dynamic in a day and age in
35:46
Speaker 8: which players are transferring three or four times over the
35:49
Speaker 8: course of four.
35:50
Speaker 7: Or five years or whatever.
35:52
Speaker 8: This guy was the he was what NIL or the
35:56
Speaker 8: transfer portal should be about. Like, you're playing behind the
36:00
Speaker 8: number three pick in the NFL draft and you have
36:03
Speaker 8: immense talent, you should.
36:05
Speaker 7: Be the guy that transfers.
36:06
Speaker 8: You should be the guy that takes advantage of it, right, Craig,
36:08
Speaker 8: And And instead this dude said, I got into notre
36:11
Speaker 8: Dame because of my academics as well as my football,
36:15
Speaker 8: and I'm sticking it out.
36:16
Speaker 7: I'm playing for Marcus Freeman. That just tells you something.
36:20
Speaker 8: Never mind all the stuff with the with his mom
36:22
Speaker 8: and helping raise his sisters.
36:24
Speaker 7: That just says something about this dude's character. I mean,
36:27
Speaker 7: it really does.
36:29
Speaker 3: Degree.
36:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, there will be others. There are others on the board.
36:32
Speaker 1: Yeah, that tonight Dominic Orange from Iowa State spayed all
36:35
Speaker 1: four years, turned down millions, three hundred and seventy pounds,
36:38
Speaker 1: those tackle. The Seahawks have those guys high on their board.
36:41
Speaker 1: The loyalty character.
36:43
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, so, I mean I love that part of
36:46
Speaker 8: the story.
36:46
Speaker 7: And I'm just glad they got to RB one. Man.
36:49
Speaker 8: I'm just glad they got that. They got that done,
36:51
Speaker 8: and there's no we won't have to sit there and say, well,
36:54
Speaker 8: what are they gonna do? Wait for the waiver root,
36:57
Speaker 8: get another udfas or whatever that's going to be. So anyway, yeah, good, good, good,
37:02
Speaker 8: good pick, just not when they wanted to.
37:04
Speaker 3: I think that's right. What do you have going on
37:07
Speaker 3: from the Seahawks.
37:08
Speaker 8: We're gonna check in with uh, We'll talk to Ross Tucker,
