• 0:58
  Speaker 1: into it a little bit, but suffice to say, it's
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: been a long NFL path for you. Along our football path.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: You've been through a lot. Um do you feel that
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: way and where are you now? Mentally? Um, best I've
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: ever been mentally on and off the field in what way, UM,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: just my mental process uh for games, UM, for practices, uh,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: for life, you know, for my family, you know, for
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: my friends and anyone that's close to me that they're
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: getting the best version of me on a day to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: day basis. And uh, you know, I really you know,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: came into my own you know, I've been living my
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: life through football a lot, you know, starting a teen
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: years old twenty six now, so everything was football. And
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: as I entered to NFL and things didn't go my way,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you know, it kind of reshaped who I was as
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a person, as a man, as her husband, UM, as
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: a child of God, and uh, you know, as a
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: teammate you know. So UM, you know I've learned a
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: lot throughout my journey, and you know, since standing here
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: today and still have an opportunity in the NFL and
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you know, still going to practice, still working hard, um,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: and still with those same dreams and goals that I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: had since I first started. You know, UM, it just
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: shows me, you know, persistence and consistency is the key.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You know, even though you go through uh spurts in
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: your life. So UM, you know, I finally accepted everything
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: that's happened through for me to me and uh uh
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you know, and in the NFL and and uh and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it allowed me to move forward in my life and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: it allowed me to step into the president moment with
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: the best version of myself. So uh, just the best
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: version of myself right now. And for people who don't know,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: first round picked by the Vikings, Uh played there four years,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I believe, and then spent a year in Atlanta. Uh.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: A lot of times that first team after the original
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: team can be a tough fit. It feels like Jacksonville
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: is a good fit for you. You feel uh, you know,
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: talking to you in training camp, you felt like there
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: was a dead emic here that you liked. Yeah, I did.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I did. From the first day it felt it felt
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: like I was meant to be a Jaguar. And and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that's where to say being drafted to Minnesota and going
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: to Atlanta. But once I got here and I got
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: with the coaching staff, and you know, Coach Meyer's pointing
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: to me, Coasan pointing to me, um, and and they
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: want the best for me, and they and they they're
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: pushing me every day, you know. Um. It made me
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: feel like I was accepted in a sense, I was wanted.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: And um, you know, and that's all any player would
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: ever want, you know, just to you know, be coach
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: hard by their coaches and and be a part of
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the winning coaching and be a part of the team
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to help them win games. And you know, so once
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I got here, you know, it's been a long road
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: being here, but you know, nothing ever changed from whether
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I was planning or not. They still poured into me.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: They still made me feel like I was a Jaguar
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and and and I can help this team at one
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: point and uh in the season, and um, I've been
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: active for a couple of wins this year and that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: you know, that means the most of me. Um, And
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to continue to put my best foot
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: forward here now three teams, so I'm sure that means
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: even more coaches than that. You've seen a lot. How
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: much does that experience help you in terms of you know,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: you had a lot of voices in your head, people
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: working with you, right, how much just sort of seeing
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a lot about the NFL help you at this point
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: in your career. It helps me a lot, you know,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: going out, you know, even with the younger guys. But
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to not make the point about me, but it also
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: helps me help my team make sure no younger guys.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: But to make the point about me, just um, you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: know going through five different offersive coordinators in Minnesota, uh,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: five different quarterbacks, you know, going to Atlanta, Um, you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the coaching style changing there. So you know it hasn't
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: been the best, but it also put a lot of
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: things in perspective for me. Is and you know everyone
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: say control what you can control, and UM, with me
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: going through so many different coaches style, you know, I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: truly had to hone in on you know, learning a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: new offense every other season, and you know, learning the
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: quarterback and out the build relationships. And then I realized that, wait,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: let me slow this down. Let me focus on what
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I can do better, what I what I need to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: focus on, what I need to hone in on what
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: can help me play better on Sundays and practice and
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and be a better teammate. So, you know, with all
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: the moving pieces that was around me, you know, I
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: had to stay true to myself and and know that
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I was still able to play. I can still play
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: at this level. I can still play at a high level.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: And UM, that's pretty pretty much what it taught me
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: and and and going to another team. Um, coming here
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: and learning to playbook. You know, it taught me a
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: lot of different study habits to you know, so that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: was probably the best thing that came out of it.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I met a lot of people. I learned different study
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: habits when it comes to learning offenses and and and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: different things of that nature. And you know, I got
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: to meet a lot of people too, you know. Um,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: you know it might look like I was, you know,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you know, in a rut in my career, but on
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: the the other end with then with so many great
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: other receivers. You know, I learned a lot from Digs.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I learned a lot from Adam. I learned a lot
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: from Julio Calvit being here with Marvin two live indeed
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a so I got to meet so many other guys
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that you know, I would have never got to meet
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: if I was on one team. So UM, I always
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: try to look at my my journey and the and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the and the best light possible, you know. Um, you know,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I know the world will you know, put their own
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: spinning image on it whatever. But I was I was
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: around so many other the good guys on on on
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: as a receiver. The top level receivers, and I you know,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I would pick their head. Julio rid Uh like I said,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: and all the other guys from Minnesota, Digs and Adam
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and and I mean the list goes on and on.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: But it allowed me to you know, adapt a change,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: evolved you know, all my game, but also be me,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: you know. So, um that was probably the biggest thing
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: about my journey is just I was able to learn
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: a lot throughout it all. Now, a lot of guys,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you know, first round pick and then you're on the
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: practice squad six years later, a lot of guys would
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you know, a not want to talk about that, be
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: down about it. And I have a great attitude. Again,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: I talked to you a couple of times in our lives,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: but from not from listening to you, it doesn't sound
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: like you take that approach. How have you been able
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: to reach this point just you know, taking it to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: day at the time. You know, Um, I just I
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: just look at it. You know, what can I do
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: in this moment to be better tomorrow? You know? And
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: you nobody's gonna give you anything in this league, so
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you can't cry about it. You know. I still want
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to go out and compete and compete at a high level,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and you know, prove myself every day and and you know,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: being year six or whether it was year three or
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: year two, you know, in those same moments, I still
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: face myself, look myself in the mirror and said, Okay,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: they're saying this is what are you gonna do about it?
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: Or you feel like this is what are you gonna
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: do about it? Your game is this? How do you
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: change it to make it this? And I took those
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: necessary steps every day and regardless of his show three
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: years ago, last year, this year, you know, I'm going
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: to continue to take the best steps that's gonna help
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: me get to the next step, you know, And I
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: don't know what that next step is. So I continue
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: to show up every day with my best version, and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: just you know, give the best for my team, get
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the best for my coaches, and you know, go out
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: there and play hard for each other, come out last week,
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: make a big time catch. Uh. And that's not always
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: easy for somebody who hasn't gotten a lot of playing
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: time during the season. I guess how do you keep
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: yourself ready for that moment when called upon U nine
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: games in and really your first opportunity and you make
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the play. Oh, just leaning on my coaches, leaning on
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: my coaches, leaning on my brothers in the room, coming
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: to work every day. Um, you know, you have no
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: choice to be ready if you lean on everyone else
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: because they're depending on you just as much as you're
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: depending on yourself. So and I've learned that throughout my career,
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the more you lean on the gods that's in the
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: room with you, because we're all fighting the same about it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: We're all trying to win games, we're all trying to
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: perform at a high level, and uh, we all want
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: to make that opportunity that play when the opportunity to come.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I've seen a lot of ball being in the league
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: for six years, so I know, Um, at the end
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: of the day, I can't come out and think that
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I'm not held to the same standard as the starters,
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: because that's what this league is. One guy goes down,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: you might be the next starting receiver. So I always
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: try to, you know, go and prepare and learn the
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: plays and and and detail up everything that I possibly
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: can so when the opportunity to do come or you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: it's it's the same, you know, when the opportunity presents itself,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: just be ready, you know. So I was just ready.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: You know. I prepared that week and um, you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: leaning on coach san coach bath, Um, coach coach Meyers,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: um Marv, you know, all the starters, you know, and
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: when DJ was up, I leaned on them all year
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: because and I also gave them feedback because even though
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: I wasn't playing, you know, I was doing my best
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to help them as much as I can. Now maybe
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: people didn't notice this, but maybe as impressive as the
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: catch was, the block that you had on there is Leonard. Yeah,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, not every wide receiver is
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: gonna make that block. Is that something that uh the
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: year two version of the Kwan treadwell makes. Is that
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: something learned? Have you always been that guy? Um? I
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: would say I've always been that guy. It was just
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: when I first got in the league. Uh, there wasn't
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: illegal blocks. So that's where it went bad for me.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I would make the college blind side shoulder, you know.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: And you know, over the years, I've learned and once
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: they find me. The first time I did learn that,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: but um man, it was about fifteen thousand. Yeah, some
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: crazy first. That's a lot of money regardless. So yeah,
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: I mean, uh, first year, I probably wouldn't not did
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it legally, and you know it would have cost our
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: team fifteen yards and you know me money and all
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: these different variables. But now you know, through the years
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and you know, messing up learning from my mistakes. You know,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I just uh prepared myself the right way to watch
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: film on him. You know which angle he was gonna
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: take new you know, if if it's if he's here,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: he's gonna go here. If he's in the box, he's
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: gonna kind of try to get around me, and so
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: you know, uh kind of arcd it. So because I
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: knew he was he's a he's a physical guys, like
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: let's get it though, So I knew he was gonna
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: either knife it and I was just trying to wash
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: him down and the ball get outside of him. But
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: he kind of like rand the random random hump and
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: tried to make the alley tried to make the alley
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: tackle when I was waiting on him, and so all
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: I had to do was like seal them a little bit.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And then once his momentum went up to field, you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I kind of ran with him and it looked like
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: a bigger block. But he didn't like it. You know,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: he gave me, He gave me a little stub out there,
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: and you know I got him later on in the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: game too, so I had to get my second league back.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: So what's the confidence level for the receiver group right now?
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: I mean they've taken a little bit of heat publicly.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: Uh it's been a struggling offense. But where are you guys? Ahl? Right? Man?
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: We come to work every day, you know, and we,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: like I said, we're gonna put our best foot forward.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Our confidence is always hot. You know, we're going to
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: every game thing we're gonna we're gonna dominate. We're gonna
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: make the plays that come our way. And you know, uh,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: you know, I can only speak from you know, my perspective,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: and that's my mindset. And I know everyone in that
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: room is confident. You know, we watched him on the DBS.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: We do all the necessary things. We put in overtime,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: um and a lot of work. So it's just you know,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: getting constantly getting out there and making those plays so
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: we can give not only Trevor the confidence, the coaches
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: the confidence, and also you know, give the fans something
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: to cheer for. So, um, you know, we're gonna go
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: out this week and put our best foot forward and
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: try to make all the players that come. Now, people
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: listen to this, you know, are focusing on Trevor Lawrence.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: Obviously the rookie quarterback number went overall pick. You've been around,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: played a lot of football, seen a lot of football.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Tell me about him? Uh, where do you see him going?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Where is he now? Trevor looks on a day to
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: day basis, you know, being a rookie, he's learning, he's growing.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: But every day he comes out and putting his best
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: foot forward and he looks great every day. And you know,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and that's and and and and the thing about it, Uh,
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: when you when you're learning a new offense, is that
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: all the nuances of it has to get you know,
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: straightened up between the offense, the quarterbacks and the receiver.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: So and once everything starts to mess, that's when you
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: see front of our games filing our games look after
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: list because everything is messing. So Trevor comes out, he
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: gives his best, his best, He put his best foot
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: forward every day. You know, I feel like he could
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: throw every ball on the field. And that's just my
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: confidence in him from seeing him from June fifteen to now,
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and uh, just he's built with like he said early
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: on in the season, I know all bounce back. I'm
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: I'm made with the right stuff. And you can see
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: that every day and that gives you confident as a
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: receiver to go that much harder for him, run that
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: make that run block for him. You know, just from
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: my perspective, everything ties together. You know, the run game
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: tied with the past game. And and if Trevor confident
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: that we can run the ball, he can be confident
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: in the play action. And so it all it's all
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: messing right now, and it's uh, it's it's it's we're close.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: You know, we're close, and and you know, one big game,
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you know, we we probably never have to speak about
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: the first nine games, you know what I'm saying. So
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: that's what this league is. You know, once you get
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: that that game that makes you feel like, Okay, I
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: can I can really do this. I can do it
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: at a high level. You know, I've seen everything as
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: it came. You know that saw the takes for a player,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and you know he's one game away from really like
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: you know, turning us around. And getting the offense scoring
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: every drive, and and and at least trying to at
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: least get down there and getting us some points. So um,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: it's just it's been amazing to watch it from the
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: sideline and didn't go out there with him and his poise,
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: his demeanor. You know, how how he controls the huddle.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: You know it all plays the factor and you know,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: being a great quarterback, and I think he has all
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: the attributes to do it. Co final things where we
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: hit the home stretch. Give me one thing that Jaguars
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: fans can look at and believe in about this team.
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: And you've been around some big time successful teams, had
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of success. What do you like about this
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: team that makes you think it's going in the right direction. Oh,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: we have no quit. Any game you watch, you you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: will not see a player quit. It's most teams you
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: get up. Except for instance seventeen zero first half last week.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: We come back three and out, three and out, We
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: fight back. We clawed back like pump block any other team.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: It rattles a team. We didn't. I didn't feel a
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: shift of energy, momentum. You know, they had the momentum
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: they were home. But on our side, it was kind
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of like, Okay, this is our test for today. We
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: gotta come back from seventeen zero. So we're we We've
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: already been the underdog, so we we understand that. Okay,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: no one's gonna give us anything. So at the end
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: of the day, regardless of what happens, or regardless of
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: how you know it starts off, we gotta play all
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: sixty minutes. And if you watch the games, we all
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: play from the start to the finish, and regardless of
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: what the outcome come, you'll see a Jaguar team that's
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: gonna come out and gonna fight you and gonna crawl
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: and gon't and don't do everything possible to win. And
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: and that's what I've noticed from being here and being
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: coached by coach Meyers, coach coach Sane. We're gonna fight,
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna play hard, and we're gonna we're gonna
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: put our best foot for every play, and we're gonna
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: we're gonna try to get the WS. Got the final
• 15:51
