• 2:16
  Speaker 1: um megen. So I'm gonna give you a hint. My
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: four years of high school Spanish did nothing for me.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: And that's not just because it was thirty years ago.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: But tell me about that. You obviously didn't grow up
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: speaking Spanish. This is something that you have learned over time.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Why the passion um I had? I was about to
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: start speaking Spanish? Okay, the death of the passion? Um. Well,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: I grew up or you know, I grew up in
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the l A area, you know, so I grew up
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: around like Latinos, but um, I think it was um.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: I went to Costa Rica with with my wife and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: her family, and UM, I was, you know, trying to commune,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: came with the people, and I like, I like to talk.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I like I'm a social you know, I like I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: like the socialize and stuff like that. And um, you
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: know when I was over there, I couldn't talk to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I couldn't speak to anybody. I couldn't really understand. I
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: thought I knew a little bit, but um, I couldn't
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: understand them. So I was like Jasmine, I got it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I woke up in the middle of the night, I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: was like, I gotta go to Spain, you know, just
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: because I thought, you know, I didn't I thought that
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: everybody spoke the same Spanish. But you know, when I
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: went there, they speak something called, uh, you know, a
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Spanish called stay down on it, so they it's a
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: little bit different, um accent and stuff like that. But
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I mean Spanish and Spanish, you know. So I went
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: over there. Um I did Uh. I did classes eight

• 3:46
  Speaker 1: when I left, you know, I was telling the taxis
• 3:48

• 9:47
  Speaker 1: long time. Yet it's out there. A couple of years ago,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you almost gave it up. I assume obviously very happy
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that you didn't. But what went into that and why
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: keep going? Uh? Just I think I was at a point,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you know with um obviously when people who who who
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: don't know when I lost my son, um, I mean,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: it was it was just tragic. I was like, what
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: am I doing? Like, you know what I'm saying, Let's
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: move to Spain. Like that's that's kind of that was
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: kind of my thing. I was, I just want to
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: be I just want to be with my family, you
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Take I removed. I don't want
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to talk to anybody. Just take my wife and my
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: kids and get out and go to Spain and live,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: you know, living the rest of our lives there and
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: wherever whatever the kids want to do. And you know,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I just you know, with me, you know, taking us Spanish,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: I just have a lot of connections, you know, around
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: the world, you know. So I was like, yeah, we'll
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: just do that. I'll put the put the kids in
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: in in the Barcelona academy, um, have them play soccer
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: or whatever, do whatever they want to do, you know
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying, and we could just you know, that
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: was my initial That was my initial I've never been
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: through something like that before, so that was my initial
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: thought process. And then you know, once I think once
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: everybody you know knocking on my door came to me,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: my family, you know, they all flew out and stuff
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: like that, and just just all around the world. When
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: you know, I just when I tell you I had
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: thousands of thousands of messages fails, you know, d m
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: s and all that stuff. You know, you you find
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: that support, UM, and it's it's it's crazy how positive
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: this this world is. Man. You know when um, when
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: something like that happens, you know, every every all the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: negative is always glamorized. But there's there's some great people
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: out there, you know, so UM hearing everybody else's story, Um,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: obviously they they've a lot of people have had a
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: lot worse situations than I had than I had, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I'm still I'm blessed with with five with five more kids.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: You know. It was just it was just a blessing
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: to you know, to have everybody in my corner in
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the NFL and the you know, um, in the entertainment
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: industry and you know, fans all around the world. So
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: I think it was an easy call for me to
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: you know, to keep playing, you know. So yeah, so
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: it's it took it. It took a day or two,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: and then after that, I was like, let's man, let's
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: go let's keep going to do it and then life
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: continue to take you on a path and and now
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: you're here with a chance to be a part of
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: something new, uh, and here is moving forward. What does
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that mean to you at this stage of your career
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: to be able to be a part of something like this?
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I think it means a lot, you know. And and
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: there's a obviously a lot of people are saying, hey,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: what are you doing? Like why did you? Why did
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: you go here? Why do you why what are you doing? Like?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's easy for me. You know, it
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: was an easy call for me. I mean not not
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: just because I'm a forty five minute flight away from
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: my from my family, you know, but um, just a
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: lot of things, a lot of things go into, you know,

  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So I know it like
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: the back of my hand. So why not, like why
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: why wouldn't this be the situation you know for me? So? UM,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that's my that's that's that was my whole you know
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: thought process going and coming coming here to your final
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: questions and we'll get you out of here. Your wide
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: receiver teammates obviously they're gonna look up to you. But
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: tell me about your room that you're in and what
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: do you think of it? It's a great room, you know. Um.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: You know, heading heading by you know coach Sanjay Um
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: and he's he's a different coach than I've than I've had.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: You know, he's he's very technical, and he's all about
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: the art of you know, route running, so he has
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: his theories of route running, you know. And UM, so
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: I'm doing you know, I'm doing I'm doing things different,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: you know, and trying to you know, trying to throw
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: away nine years of learning to learn you know, another
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: you know, another way of running. And I think and
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I love that as well, you know, you know, just
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: because it's something that I could you know, could push
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: could push for and work on and stuff like that.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: You know. But our receiver room is is great. It's
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: a great room. And obviously we have an immense amount
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: of talent um and and I mean, of course that's
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: one of the reasons why it's it was an easy,
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: easy choice too, because you know you're here and you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: have you have a lot of help. You know, you

• 14:38
  Speaker 1: kind of easy when you know you have a room
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: like that, um that's dynamic and can do a lot
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: of different things. How do you visualize the rest of
