- 1:30Speaker 1: uh uh I kind of I kind of do, but
- 1:35Speaker 1: I had space, you know, and I'm I kind of
- 1:38Speaker 1: feel like I had the little green light there and
- 1:44Speaker 1: I don't know, I just saw opportunity and it was
- 1:46Speaker 1: a you know rep that we worked on and you know,
- 1:49Speaker 1: just wanted to make the make the best out of that.
- 1:51Speaker 1: Tell you that's the longest pupp returning franchise history. Yeah,
- 1:54Speaker 1: they did, and that was crazy. It's actually funny. I
- 1:57Speaker 1: came to the sideline talking to Bobo and I was like, man,
- 2:00Speaker 1: I'm still gassing up her in turn. And then I
- 2:02Speaker 1: looked on the I Pad and I was like, he said,
- 2:05Speaker 1: yeah it was and I was like, no one, I'm
- 2:07Speaker 1: so tired. I was like, I just ran the whole
- 2:09Speaker 1: field he was like, man, He's like, get you another one.
- 2:11Speaker 1: So but that just goes to show and uh, you're
- 2:14Speaker 1: not you know, you died in and you know you're
- 2:16Speaker 1: just trying to make the best out opportunities, you know,
- 2:19Speaker 1: just stacking one block out of time and uh, for me,
- 2:22Speaker 1: I didn't know that was the longest point return. I
- 2:24Speaker 1: didn't know how far that was. So I was just
- 2:26Speaker 1: so amped about the blocks that you know those guys
- 2:29Speaker 1: made and you know how that opened up for me
- 2:31Speaker 1: receiving touchdown that it seems like the Saints had pretty
- 2:34Speaker 1: good coverage there. What can you say about the throw
- 2:36Speaker 1: from Sam and just the chemistry that you've already established
- 2:39Speaker 1: with him early in your NFL. Yeah, you know, Sam's
- 2:43Speaker 1: head of a quarterback. You know he put that ball
- 2:45Speaker 1: in the money. That's something that uh we kind of
- 2:48Speaker 1: worked on a little bit here and there, and you
- 2:51Speaker 1: know he's on top of this game. You know, you
- 2:52Speaker 1: get you see a little crease and he's going to
- 2:56Speaker 1: put it where it needs to be. And you know
- 2:57Speaker 1: that's something that you went from a quarterback and you
- 3:00Speaker 1: know he's still you know, his his smart you know,
- 3:03Speaker 1: just that awareness and smart mindset on the field kind
- 3:06Speaker 1: of takes that place and you know it was it
- 3:09Speaker 1: was a great ball. Shout out to Sam and you know,
- 3:11Speaker 1: shout out to that whole line for holding up because
- 3:13Speaker 1: you know they don't get started without the whole line,
- 3:15Speaker 1: So shout out to those boys. You had a couple
- 3:17Speaker 1: of good returns on punts in the preseason too. What
- 3:19Speaker 1: is it about that part of the game that you
- 3:21Speaker 1: think kind of your skill set kind of marries up
- 3:23Speaker 1: for and makes you a good part return Uh, And
- 3:26Speaker 1: I don't know, I kind of go back to my
- 3:27Speaker 1: baseball days of you know, seeing the ball in there
- 3:30Speaker 1: a little bit and kind of just working with you know,
- 3:35Speaker 1: Coach Fritz and uh those guys make sure I get
- 3:38Speaker 1: clean fields and things like that. Something that I needed
- 3:40Speaker 1: to work on. And you know, once the balls in
- 3:43Speaker 1: my hand is kind of kind of reading blocks really, uh,
- 3:47Speaker 1: kind of taking back to my my, uh, my youth
- 3:49Speaker 1: self of just you know that that little game of
- 3:52Speaker 1: sharks meadows. You know, that's that's something that I kind
- 3:54Speaker 1: of try to bring back. And you know, you gotta
- 3:57Speaker 1: gotta weave do something something you just got a knife
- 3:59Speaker 1: knife through and you know, just try to find little
- 4:02Speaker 1: creases to help those blocks out or your ago. You know,
- 4:05Speaker 1: if you're dealing with the injury and college career and prepperaturely,
- 4:08Speaker 1: what are you most proud of in yourself of being
- 4:09Speaker 1: able to respond from that and for the performances that
- 4:12Speaker 1: you have here early on? Uh yeah, I probably say
- 4:15Speaker 1: just silenced the doubts. You know, I had a lot
- 4:17Speaker 1: of doubt going into the combine. Uh, just just that
- 4:21Speaker 1: whole thing and uh, finally get to prove myself just
- 4:26Speaker 1: going out there and competing. That's something that I really
- 4:28Speaker 1: uh am proud of myself by and uh it's a
- 4:32Speaker 1: huge goodles to my family for you know, make sure
- 4:34Speaker 1: I keep my head straight and you know, not getting
- 4:36Speaker 1: too down on myself, cause those times can get really
- 4:39Speaker 1: difficult for an athlete when you're dealing with injuries and
- 4:42Speaker 1: uh you know this adversary that you gotta kind of
- 4:45Speaker 1: you know, fight through and getting out of that and
- 4:48Speaker 1: being ready to go back on that field. It feels great.
- 4:50Speaker 1: So silencing similar with you, how validating isn't for you
- 4:55Speaker 1: that you're you're doing this already and that it has
- 4:58Speaker 1: come to fruition. Oh, just everything I kind of worked for,
- 5:02Speaker 1: you know, it's uh just those lonely nights in the room,
- 5:05Speaker 1: you know, just back in my back in my normal
- 5:07Speaker 1: apartments in college, just saying, man, I can't wait for
- 5:10Speaker 1: that next step of you know, overcoming this injury and
- 5:13Speaker 1: you know, getting back to myself and uh, you know,
- 5:17Speaker 1: it's kind of just kind of just you know falling
- 5:20Speaker 1: into place. You know, just having that trust, just keep believing,
- 5:23Speaker 1: keep taking one day at a time. Uh, you know,
- 5:26Speaker 1: just taking recovery serious and you know, things like that,
- 5:29Speaker 1: and it's kind of falling in place now. All right,
