• 1:16
  Speaker 1: early goals you're kind of trying to set for yourself
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: that you're going through camp. Here, just established myself as
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: being an NFL player, Like the transition from college to
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the NFL. Of course it will be a little difference,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: but it's not too much. I'll just say it's the
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: change of speed on the field. That's been pretty Working
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: with Josh Allen afterward during practice, just getting to know
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: him for a bit more, I had to say, I'm
• 1:39

• 1:41
  Speaker 1: guys like he's still young. He can relate to me.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: He's been in my shoes and he's just taught me
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: everything that that he knows. And that's a lot of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: knowledge that I need coming into the league. It's very important.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: He's a great player. I mean, look at him. Uh,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: he's I say, he's a unicorn, especially like he's a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: different type of player alone agile, fast, and I feel
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: like I'm a similar type player. I definitely definitely would no,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: definitely not no. It was a story when you were
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: a kid. It wasn't full pass. So I have on
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: like a helmet, then I have on a black sweat
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: jacket with some long pants on, some boots, just a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: heavy gear that. It was basically just training my mental Like,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of course it's hot. I'm out there cutting more than
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: one yard a day, so I'm probably couldn't probably on
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: average four yards a day, So of course it's hot,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: and it just keep me keep me going. Said that again,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I mean I lived on the hit under his roof,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: so I ate his food a condition. Yeah, I had
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: to sing a little song camp is true, but like
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I told him, boy that's not me. So I'm here
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to play football. I'm not here to do all that.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: You might catch me singing in the locker room, but
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: at that point in time, not the single. All the
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: attention is not on me at that time for the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: team lifestyle, I ain't doing that. What was it like
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: working with Robert Mathis and this guy's was all season
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: just getting kicked on that legend like that, I had
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: to say, I learned a lot from all he just
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: taught me. One of the main things that he told
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: me just be patient, Like everything would calm once I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: started up, realized the small things within my moves, everything
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: will start to tie together from there. So from like
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I said, I was always trying to work on my hand.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: In our coordination, it always starts from my get off.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: If I'm getting off the ball, then the offensive linement
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: is going to have to commit the men in some
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: type of way. So I just let my fluid, my fluidity,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: and my speed work for itself. The one things about
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the NFL se purchasing, how many guys are all that
• 4:03

• 4:24
  Speaker 1: everything just to all and stuff, um, definitely comfortable. It's
