• 3:24
  Speaker 2: called sports management. She was like, all the guys do it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I was like, should say less, we're majoring community communications,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that the other one general studies, until you had to
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: pick communications.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, general studies all the way up to my
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: pay my junior year, and.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: Then I got here. I was like, uh, you know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: what do you want to do. I was like, shit,
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: I'm here to ball.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: All right, we'll get to some online classes, like four
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: online classes and kind of just finished up.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: But we got you down here from Indiana. Growing up
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: in Indiana. Didn't want to go anywhere in the Midwestern No.
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: I mean I had visited Notre Dame because it was
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: like Notre Day in USC here like my top three
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: and uh so you were a beast best.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: We made it happen out there.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: We made a happen me.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: She had sixty of college, but I don't.
• 4:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah shit, but so that's why you so you you
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: hit the portal from Western Michigan. Yeah, after what you
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: had one hundred and forty eight tackles with thirteen and
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: a half sacks.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, you did you did your research.
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: Okay, it's time to hit the portal.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: I was gonna stay because I had to get a
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: shoulder surgery. I wanted to like come off to the NFL.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: I had like undrafted grave. I was like fuck it,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: Like if I can get my foot in the door,
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: like you know, I'm a grinder, we can make it happen.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: But uh so my coach got fired like three days
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: later after I like planned to get the surgery done
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: on my shoulder, like staying out of the year. He
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: gets fired, you know when the head coach gets fired.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: Fucking Matt scrambled the building. Everyone's trying to cover their
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: own ass. And I had met with the right my
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: de coordinators that listener, it's gonna be a great opportunity
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: for you, like hit the portal, and I knew nothing
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: about it. Like I'm at I'm in a group of five.
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: Like most guys that come from Powerfy, the group of
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: five hit the portal. Their experience is bad. So that's
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: all I knew. Was like like you know that any
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: phone calls, but I fucking hop in like three days
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: later or like the whole like three weeks after that,
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: my phone is like exploding, Like every school in the
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: country hit me up.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I'm like, what is this ship?
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: It's it's madness because you get like a short window
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: to like make it happen to like I mean you
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: get from like December first or something something like that
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: to like the beginning of January. Get a month to
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: decide where you want to go play ball, and like
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: you're trying to go on visits and like just figure
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: it out. I mean, I mean it's a good problem
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: to have, but it's still like stressful as fucks just
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: trying to figure out, you know, what we want to do.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: But so you thought you thought you would have had
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: a bad experience just because of.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: The school where you was coming from.
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: From the school, but not looking at what you had
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: did that year was gonna be Yeah.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Because my whole career, I mean, you're kind of overlooked
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: playing in the group of five and me you're always
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: like the little sister and the you know, the football
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: world and me power five kind of just looks you like, ah,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: you know whatever. And that was like the story of
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: my career. You know, oh, he ain't played no body,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: he ain't playing no big boy ball. So and that
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: was kind of that was a lot of what played
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: in me coming down because they say, you know, the
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: best balls down here in the southeast, so's you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: like Florida State looked like great opportunity. I mean, you
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: guys probably know with Novel, I mean, he's a beast. Yeah, yeah,
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: he was cool. He was a good set. I mean
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: he was in my kitchen, you know, banging on my table,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: we staring contest, like two and a half.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Hours, two thousand.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: You know this guy, this guy's different, you know, uh
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: but no, I mean it was.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: It was cool.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: And then you know, like, I want to get on
• 6:10
  Speaker 4: the cold for a little bit. I played all my
• 6:12
  Speaker 4: years up north, so like Notre Dame. It was cold
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: as fuck up there. I gotta get out of here, man,
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: Like I was like thirty minutes. My home is where
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: I'm from, Notre Dame is so I was like, no,
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: that was out in La not an La.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: Guy.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: It's not my vibe. But uh, but no, the Tallahassees
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: kind of it was. It made the most sense.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Wait forgive me, forgive me for being dumb on it
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: on your journey.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: Now you hit the portal. You got here from the portal, Yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: from the portal you were you were playing at Notre Dame.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no no. I was at Western Michigan
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: for five years.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I'm not from my phone along I'm saying, no, you're good,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you're good. No, you're good. I get it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: I get it.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: You're Western Michigan up until this last year.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, got you.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I apologize, you're good.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: After you had that year?
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: What I just said with one hundred and forty tackles,
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: thirteen and a half sacks, but he he hit the
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: portal and that ultimately got him to Florida State.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: Then you have a hell of a year here.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, came you crushed at the comb I don't know
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: if you read how you made my own combine team.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I was hoping, so I've been waiting on that.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I was, hang on, you gotta you gotta put some
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: work in for you make that school.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: He made a combine team. You gotta do something. White
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: squad on all white teams.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: We need some more interior guys.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: Come, dude, was it n I L deal waiting for
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: you when you hit the portal?
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, a little money on the table. I could.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I probably could have made more going to the USC,
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: but I was no.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I mean take it now that you're now that you're
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: out of it, and you got to experience the n I L. Like,
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: what does that process look like like real time? You
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: said there's a short window. Your phone wasn't ringing at first,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: but then it just blew up all of a sudden,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Like is it is it financial communication that goes on
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: a lot between your your Asian and the schools like
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: how does that work?
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: Kind of all dependently some schools because at the time,
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: like coaches don't allow to talk about it. It was
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: just like a third party like the collectives, right, yeah,
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: the collectors, like the school be like, hey, you're about
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: to get a phone call from this, you know, say
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: Atlanta number, and then make sure you pick this up.
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: You pick up the phone. They're like the guys like
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: all right, hey, like you know, this is what we're thinking,
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: Like you know, you you can count or whatever you feel.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: And like some guys have age. I did it all
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: my own.
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I did all my negotiating or negotiating just like hey,
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: I want this.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and yeah, it's kind of just how it goes.
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: They're like some schools something I gotta get the names.
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: But like they're like hey, like straight up head coach,
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: like yo, we're gonna give you this, like to come here,
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: like let's get you on campus now, sign seal delivered,
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: you know, the whole whole nine yards of the process.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: But it just kind of varies. But it's fucking sketchy,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: but it's the wild West. USC was going to pay
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: you the most. Yeah, they would have paid you allowed
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: to share that number. I mean it was probably it
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: was upwards like four. It was in that range like
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: you know, between like two and they basically call and
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: it's like same thing, like, hey, here's what we're thinking.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: We're thinking for in a thousand dollars.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: That was more like when I was on campus and
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: like like they do it crazy out there. They try
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: to put you up in the you know, the high
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: rise apartment like thirty six floor and like all that
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: sounds nice, but like when I'm thinking about my last
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: year at college ball, I'm like, y'all, like I need
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: to lock the fucking like I've been here for six years,
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Like I got to get a pout of here, you know.
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I try to make something happened. So all that sounded cool.
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: Like I'm looking out seeing that label, I'm like really
• 9:04
  Speaker 4: deep down like this is the same for me, Like
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: I need I need like this town home over here
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: across the street on Hayden Road, you know, make it happen.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: But something more gritty, a little more gritty, you know.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: I mean I'm the big blue collar guy, right, That's
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: that's my label, the fucking lunch pill but no gloves.
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: But uh so, like do they get to hit you
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: before you enter the portal, Like how how does that work?
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Like you got to say you going to the portal
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: before you can receive. Well, no, that was the crazy part.
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: So like midway through the season, my high school coaches
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: called me and say hey, like schools are asking like, hey,
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: you gonna hit the portal, hit the draft. So he
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: called me, but hey, someone so called and says, like,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: what are you going to do after the season?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: I have no idea.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: I'm like, shit, dud, I'm still trying to It's like
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: week six, week seven, I'm still trying to figure out
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: what I got going on. And so that that's why
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: I kind of got like the first sense like there
• 9:50
  Speaker 4: might be some interest, but like you never know, how
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: like true that shit is that you know, everything could
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: be wishy washing in this game of like you know,
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: one call a coach could call and he could be
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: head to the next spot the next day, like you
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: you just never know. But so I don't know. That
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: that was like the first sense of like, Okay, there
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: might be some interest out.
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: There, you know.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh when you get to when you go into
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: your senior year this year, you have a hell of
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: a year talk to us about We've asked each guy
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: like talk to us about the day where you guys
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: didn't get picked for the College Football Playoff.

  Speaker 3: I mean yeah, and they sucks.
• 10:18

• 10:20
  Speaker 4: and like me personally, I like the game of my
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: life for the a CC Championship game and like I'm
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: riding this highly oh man, like we just ball. You know,
• 10:26

  Speaker 4: It was terrible, especially just like the body of work,
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: because I mean if you look at this team, I mean,
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: like if our twenty starting twenty two on both sides
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: of the ball, I would say maybe seventeen of us
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: are transfers, whether it's one year, two year, three year, transfers,
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: that this team was built up with guys coming from
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: all their different you know stories destinations, which everyone is.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: When you're a college guy, you transfer like it's a
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: little different. You got a little baggage with you, right,
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: so you know you get here and like it's a
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: bunch of transfers and like you're trying to buy in
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: a coach Nobel's culture.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: That's what everybody did.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: I mean we took, I mean from what he's took
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: a team from four four wins, five wins, the ten wins,
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: the thirteen wins. Like to see how that all just
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: crumbled in like one in the span of like on
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: one TV broadcast. Yeah, it sucked, and like he's got
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: to stand up there and try to save the day
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: and give a speech.
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: It's just like city situation.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: When you were talking, you were allude to the fact
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: there's a bunch of transfers that came in, Like you're
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: kind of a hodgepodge mix of guys for sure. Can
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: you talk about Coach Nobel's leadership and like corralling a group.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: Of college kids too, it's insane go thirteen to o
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: that whole buying of the program.
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: I mean it's second to none. I mean, and I
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: got to see best of both worlds. I was at
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: a program for five years of one coach and got
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: to come in and experience you know, like a whole
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: new style of leadership, a whole new there's the only
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: way to run a program. Like just being around that
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: was like insane, Just like I wish you guys could
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: follow him around for it day because like the man
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: doesn't stop. Is there a couple of things that stand out,
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: just like its consistency, like just every day see energy,
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: and he demands it from everyone. Like this is like
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: the first place I've only been in to two schools,
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: but it's like the first place I've been to where
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: you know, we got things around the like no headphones,
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: no hoods, no earrings, and like it's not just demanded
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: from a coach usually where you're at, like it's like
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: a head coach, a coordinator that's like demanding it. But no,
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: it's it's I mean, it's the training room. Assistant trainers
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: are saying, hey, take your hood off. It's the academic staff,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: take your hood off. It's the cafeteria staff, hey take
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: your earrings out. Like it's the whole building and like
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: that's why we're so successful because it's demanded everywhere. And
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: I think that's what helps the transfers when they come in,
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: because you could come in and be a shithead, but
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: you got you know, ninety guys that are bought in,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: like you have no no, you know, choice but to
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: fall in line, and if you don't.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: You're out. Like each other account. It really does.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: It makes it easier because you know, if you know,
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: if I got the cafeteria to say and take your
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: earings out for a guy like me coming in, it's like, hey,
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: like you know, take it all or take the hood off.
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: It makes it.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: It makes everyone's job easier, like makes leadership easier, Like
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: teaches you a whole new like level of leadership. And
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: that's all testament to him because he's one of the mands.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: It's a trickle effect.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: A funny question.
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: You said, you was five years at Western Michigan, you
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: didn't think you could have went to the NFL out
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: of just what you've done there and go to the
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Combine and do what you did at the combine. I
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: mean you going to the Combine pretty much put you
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: up hired and what they probably had you on a board.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: So you don't think that was a possibility for you
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: to even do that just coming out of it.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: It was on the table because like I said, after
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: my fifth year, I wanted to leave, Like I mean,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: I was projected like at the most maybe a six seven.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: That was like being generous. It was more like an
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: undrafted free agent guy. And like I could allowed. I
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: wanted to leave, but I need to get my shoulder
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: worked out. And like I mean, I wasn't gonna go
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: through the process of the bump shoulder just because I'm
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: already knocked because I played at a Western Michigan I'm
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: already knocked because you know, I was a little bit.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: I played lighter. I was playing the interior.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: Like two eighty back then, Okay, and uh well, you know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: looking back in the hindsight, he's twenty twenty. But like
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: looking back, like seeing like the growth I made here
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: and the growth like I made it, like as a
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: man player everything at Florida State, Like I think it's
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: what's gonna benefit me the most going to the next level,
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: Like I was able to grow my game and just
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: who I am as a person. All that, Yeah, everything
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: can buy like making that transition. Like when I was
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: at Western Michigan, I had the same coordinator head coach
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: for all my five years. I was one of the
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: fortunate ones that never have a different coach.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: So I was in the same program, the same you
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: know scheme, and coming down here and have to make
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: that transition for one year to you know, learn a
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: new locker room, learn a new scheme, learn a new
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: style of play. Like I think that's gonna make my
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: transition easier to the next level because I'm gonna have
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: to do it all over again in two months here. Yeah,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: I love that. Dude. Can you talk about you getting acclimated?
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: You're saying, like, learn a new scheme, learn a new
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: locker room, Like how was that for you? Like getting
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: acclimated with the boys and getting acclimated with the program,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: Like being a new guy. I'm sure there are some
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: nerves coming down here, get into getting around a new squad.
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: One hundred percent.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: It was tough because, like I had a shoulder surgery
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: December ninth, and I come in here and I'm supposed
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: to be this big time transfer and I'm walking around
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: the fucking sling so and I'm supposed to be like
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: I said this big time transfer, Like who the is
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: the white boy walking around to sling, you know, like like
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: who is this guy?
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: So, like that's hard for me because I'm a big
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: respect guy, Like I got to earn your respect before
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: I can really like you know, they stand up and
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: lead and like do my talking, like have fun and
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: stuff like I want you to know that I'm a worker,
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: you know. But yeah, that was tough. So like it
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: really was like till May too, when I could really
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: start working. I mean I got here in January and
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: I got clear to May. So like I'm just because
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: you know, when you're injured guy, like when the guys
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: in the waiting right now, i'd be in the training
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: room your work or like you're out on the field
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: during spring ball, but I'm in the pit doing worse.
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: Like there's no time to show, like, man, I can
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: do this, Like I'm sneiking here on Sunday, walking the
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: stadiums in my sling, like just do whatever.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: I could just be like, man, I can make this happen.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: But uh, after like the first couple of days, like
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: they said, all got can ball and then obviously throw
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: them pads on, Like pads ain't gonna lie. So that
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: that's kind where I was able to establish myself and
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: just show like we can ball.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: You know that's awesome.
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: You have to prove a point pretty much like it
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: was like, once I get on that field, I'll show y'all.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: You know what I mean, because I know ideas you
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: come in. We signed a guy, he have surgery. As
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: soon as he come in, you like, yeah, like bro,
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: you got a free agency.
• 15:56
  Speaker 4: Exactly, and that's you know that's happening, like you're in
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: your head life.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: I gotta it was more. I proved myself right here.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, definitely, Yeah, it's it's yeah, you're like sitting
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: on the You're sitting on the training table just like, man,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: these motherfuckers they think I'm trash.
• 16:12
  Speaker 5: You know me, I'll come in pockets. You just got paid.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: You hurt pockets.
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: That that's me.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Delenny never held back.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: I love that.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Remember the story, remember the story in December, you come in.
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: You was like he wasn't playing, he wasn't playing. He
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: was he was playing, but you got hurt.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: No, I'm trying to think of like what it was,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: what the setup was, but basically he was calling me fat.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: We was in the cold tubs. I was hurt. I
• 16:42
  Speaker 5: didn't put I was hurt. I don't know. I think
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: Will got hurt late in the season and he wasn't playing,
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: so he got a little big.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: It was just wintertime, like holiday season comes around, you
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: got Thanksgiving your roles, and it always gets me every year.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he walks in. I go, what up?
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: Will?
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: Damn you? I said, what up? Comp you stop working out?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: I'm walking into getting the cold touch standing there in
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: my tights, just.
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Like like what you mean like looking a little brough
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: over there, bud. Yeah, no, but I can get what
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: you're saying, Like just having that mindset and like, damn,
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: I come in. I'm the guy they probably talked about,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: like we're about to get this top guy. Oh he's
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: about to come in and help the program. Come in
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: slang you feel me and it's got going on. Oh yeah,
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: because it's got exactly. They're like, coach you a little bit.
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: You feel me.
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: It's like, yeah, like you you're walking around the building
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: like a ghost and your injury coaches don't want to
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: do with you. What can you do for me? Business?
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: You see coach say, hey, you're doing good. I'm like
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I'm just trying to make that's like, what are you
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: looking forward to most? I saw the competition part with
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: the next level?
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: What do you what do you do? What are you
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: projected as right now?
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: What are you late? First? Early second? Like in that ring, let's.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Go, bro, is that ship crazy?
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Crazy? Going up?
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: And he in the end in Western Michigan five years
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: and you're sitting here then like I can't believe.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Just let me get drafted.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: It makes sense. It's so I was like, let's go.
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: What was your mindset? Like what was your team telling
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: you when you went to the combine? It was probably
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: like like telling you this can be make or break you.
• 18:20
  Speaker 5: This is going to be you got to put on
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: a show if you want to move up in the
• 18:23
  Speaker 5: draft boards. Like what was the mindset when you was
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: going into the combine?
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Well, it kind of really all started like so even
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: before like the AGC Championship game, Like my projection was like,
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'd have been lucky to be like a
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: fourth fifth guy, like four fifth round guy, which is
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: so great. That's a great problem to have, right, but
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: uh so then I go to the Senior Bowl, ball
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: out the Senior Bowl, Like that's probably really like maybe
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: my market.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, fuck, it's work with the coaches.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Be in the meetings exactly.
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: You get to actually like show who you are, do
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: the interviews, like your d line coach could be like
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: coach from the Raiders, so like I get to work
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: with him. And so that was like the first thing
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: like Okay, this guy can ball. So that kind of
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: moved me up a little bit. And the combine, like
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: I knew that was kind of gonna be my bread
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: and butter, like I've always like tested well, done the
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: test and ship well. And then like like I was
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: training down to Bamba Ritos down in Davy, and like
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: that we knew we were like fuck, like we could.
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: We could fucking make some numbers here, boys. But yeah,
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: going into like me and like me and my age
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: were talking, I'm like shit and I'm asking I like, yo,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: like what do you think I have if I run
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: this four seven? And he's like yo, like that would
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: be insane. And I'm like, we're gonna run the four seven,
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: like come on, and even like all the other numbers.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: I'm like I wanted to. I want to sweep the board.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I was like, if I'm gonna make a name, like
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: we're gonna dominate this thing, and like it's the combine
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: that important. No, but to the public eye, it's like,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: oh my god, this guy's is freaking athlete, right, But
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: you know, it don't really translate the ball as much.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, they just it's it's a publicity thing.
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: So I was like, I'm gonna take advantage of this
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: and just kind of put my put my talents on display,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: you know, go out there and ball.
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's like.
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: A show though, That's what I mean. At the end
• 19:51
  Speaker 5: of the day, we watch FAIM. We we know what
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: you can do because we watch FAILM. But it's a show.
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: And when you go and put on a damn show
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: when all the cameras is, we know when that game
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: come around, you're gonna put on the show.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: And your name's getting in front everybody, whether or not
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: that means a whole lot as far as like getting
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: on the field, but your name is just in front
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: of everybody exactly.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: I mean that's the biggest thing. Yeah, like just being
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: in front of everybody.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: But like that whole week man, like the testing is important,
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: but like they just try to mentally fuck you the
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: whole You.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Got any any good stories coming out of that week.
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: I didn't get any crazy questions, Like everyone asked me
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: that it was a crazy question.
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: But most teams were just pretty straight up with me
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: because I mean, I ain't got no baggage. I ain't
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: gonna like off the field issues.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: So most of my meetings were pretty straight up just
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: trying to get to know me because a lot of
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: teams just didn't know who I was. Who the hell
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: was this guy coming from where he was? But no,
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: I mean, but you just spend more time in your
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: jaws and you do like in your clothes like they
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: just do every test under the sun. I mean, I
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: was at the hospital from like eight to four in
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: the after like our eyes, it was insane, like.
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: Thirty five X rays, like just dumb ship.
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: But after that combine, your name was talked. Every people
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: knew who you were. But like it was that was
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: like the thing and that and that's why I tell
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: sometimes like combine and be a helping factor if a
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: player that's like you're good, but people don't know who
• 21:06
  Speaker 5: you are, and then you go to the combine and
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: it's like that guy, we need him on our team
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: because it's only fans really watching.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: The com exactly.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: You get what I'm saying, and they like, we need him,
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: we gotta get that, we get him.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: We're gonna be the truth, create that.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Buzz, create that putting pressure on the front all you know,
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: and those numbers, those numbers pop off. And then it's
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: like you know with Scouts, coaches, whoever, it's like, oh,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: let me go back and watch his taper.
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Let me go check this tape out a little bit more.

  Speaker 2: Football is, Like this is a whole production. I know
• 25:05

• 25:07
  Speaker 1: You gotta have a podcast podcast you ain't gonna worry about.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: It worry, but I mean, I don't know the thing
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: with the podcast, Like everyone's got a podcast now, and
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: like what's gonna I'm curious about it. What's gonna be
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: the next big thing? You know that what's gonna be
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: the next Like you know because podcast blew up and
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: the guys that got on the early got on it
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: early and now look at him. But like there's gotta
• 25:25
  Speaker 4: be something that's going to be next, and like that's
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: kind of what I'm waiting for looking for. Yeah, it
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: will be some next something.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: We're about to say.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: I said, what do you think it'll be? Like, what's
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: the next thing.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: You think that's the thing that you just gotta play
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: it by play it by day.
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: But I was gonna ask you all, like when did
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: you know, like, all right, this is gonna start popping
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: off like the podcast, Like you know, when when did
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: you have that feeling like, yo, we could turn this
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: into something, you know?
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Honestly, it was when Verbel said he cut his dick
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: off for a Super Bowl, because it went all that
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: stuff on viral.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: But our very first.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: One was with Delaney, and Delaney told a story about
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: an IV.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: You know, I almost died on the sideline.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: So Pro Football Talk PFT and a couple couple of
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: those media companies picked it up and it was kind
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: of wrote in a light of like, you know, de
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: Landy Walker almost dies from a team IV or something.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: So that next week. Because I was a freegeous so.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: I wasn't on the This was the year after I
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: was on the Titans, so I wasn't in the building.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: But Taylor, Taylor said that Rabel pulled it up. It
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: was like they'll take any little because he didn't care.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: He's I want you guys do whatever whatever you guys
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: want to do. I just want you to know that
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: this is what you know, this is what everybody, this is.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: What the media will do.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: They'll take a couple of things you say and blow
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: it out of proportion because Delaney's telling it. He's you know,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: he's exaggerating something, but also he's like telling a good
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: story and how the IVY fucked him up before game.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: And that was our first That was like the first part.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: So once it kind of got in the news a
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: little bit, it's like, oh man, you know, we could
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: have something cool. But it came from like just the consistency,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I guess. And then we had Jalen on. We had
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: very blond and when Jalen came on, Jalen was talking
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: about DM and receivers, girls in.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: College and stuff that popped off.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: He mentioned us at his press conference when he was
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: because he was like in the middle of a contract
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: negotiation and somebody tried bringing up something from our podcast
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: and he was like, yeah, yeah, what was the podcast?
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Go ahead and say their name and he's like busting
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: with the boys, so he like, I mean, it was
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: like moments like that that just built from it. And
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: then that year Titans went on that run and made
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: it to the AFC Championship, and so the callback came
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: back around from Rabil Sandy cut his dick off for
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl because I had been went to the
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: Raiders at that point and that could they go on
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: this run at the end of the year because they
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: started off shitty, they go on that run And so
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: it comes back into the it comes back around to
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: the spotlight and everything else.
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: So and then we just was able to steadily grow
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: since then.
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: Man, you gotta have the city behind you too. That
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: wherever you at to the city was the hell. Yeah. Yeah,
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: Like just when they came out and Taylor had signed
• 27:55
  Speaker 5: a new contract and he started calling himself dad, Yeah,
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: that kind of took off to Lady. Yeah, that kind
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: of that kind of took off, and it was just
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: all made sense with the Hats and the boys.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because he's a bigger personality for an offensive lineman,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: like he yeah, kind of goes against the grant for
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: what the majority of offensive linemen are like.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: And yeah, we just hit it off and we just
• 28:19
  Speaker 1: we've had fun with it ever since.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: Ipecially when Barstool came.
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: He was like, oh yeah when Barstool Barstool DM. Shortly
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: after it was either the Jalen or the verable one.
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: But they d md us our profile in like August, like, hey,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: would you guys want to have a conversation. Then they
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: flew out to meet with us, like on one of
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Taylor's off days, and uh, we sat with them. They
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: didn't like talk anything contractually. We just said we had
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: like twelve episodes in the bank that we were just
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: gonna run throughout the season because we didn't do the
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: pot in the season. We just had like interviews backlogged.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: And then we finished out the year, started to negotiating
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: with him and then we signed. We signed that next February.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: But it's been it's been a blast, man.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: It's been a lot of fun seems where it's taking
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: you guys mesk you guys like in the UFC shit,
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: like just like travel on the country crazy in Vegas
• 29:05

• 29:26
  Speaker 5: lot of players doing that. That's what they do. They
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: just set up in their room, have they little and
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: give their points.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you can like it's yeah, but you gotta
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: have something different abouts to have like pop off. That's
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: why I feel like him and Taylor popped off so
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: well because you could feel it. You feel like not
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: like or something genuine about like what they got going on,
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: Like you watch some of these other ones just like man,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: these guys just put a camera in their living room
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: and started started recording, which is cool, but like if
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: you really want to turn to something like they did,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: like there's got to be something genuine about it, Like
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: you can feel that when you watch their podcasts.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: And I trying to give you all the fly.
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: Was like speaking to my mind, like know what, like
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: what I would think about going into like starting on
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: my No.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: That was real, Like they got that bus and then
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: I remember I tried to buy the bus from Taylor
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: as soon as he got it.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when we got the bus, de Laney tried buying
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: it for like a vintage clothing like he's gonna just
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: take it and set it on Broadway self vintage clothes out.
• 30:15
  Speaker 5: Of Oh he was like nah, we got something planning,
• 30:18
  Speaker 5: but I didn't know y'all was He didn't say anything
• 30:20
  Speaker 5: about the pot because he was like, I'm gonna get
• 30:22
  Speaker 5: it running. So he tried to get it fixed, but
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: it was like too much. Parts were obsolete, like it
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: couldn't get it running, couldn't get it running. And I
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: remember the first he was like, dude, we're starting to pod.
• 30:33
  Speaker 5: Come on the show. They give me this address. It's
• 30:36
  Speaker 5: in some fucking parking.
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: Lot, gravel parking gravel parking lot with some old chairs.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Do you guys even have it anymore? It's the bus
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we still got the bus.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, oh yeah, we got the but we got
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: the same bus we got more.
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Recent episodes of you guys get like a whole different
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: like set up.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: So that was from the Super Bowl drop with the
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: twisted bust in the background.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: That was all set up in Vegas for us.
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: So they had built out a studio on one of
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: the hotel rooms versus us bringing the bus out there,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: because the bus.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Bring the bus is just like a hassle.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: Us. Some it just depends on like where we're gonna
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: be throughout the year, Like we know we could be
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: moving around one month, So like, for instance, Taylor being
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: out a month, it's good that we have episodes backlogged because.
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: He's doing his thing.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: And when you're in Vegas for the Super Bowl, like
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: everybody's out there, so what an opportunity. Yeah, they're like, yeah,
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: to get in front of people, and then you don't
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: want to run them right away because then you're, you know,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: run out of your content. You gotta like, yeah, it's
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: like playing in the stuff out, like trying not to
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: get too far ahead but having enough in the tank.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: But so that's what we did in Vegas, and then
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: with this this will be like our spring tour stuff,
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: So your guys will drop probably in two weeks, with
