Speaker 1: now we're gonna talk about the present and presently, my guy,
0:34
Speaker 1: Carl Grandison is the future of the Saints. I mean,
0:37
Speaker 1: let's just be real. My man went to the University
0:39
Speaker 1: of Wyoming in all four years when I when I
0:44
Speaker 1: saw him at first, this man was like two hundred
0:46
Speaker 1: and forty pounds, two thirty five.
0:52
Speaker 3: Get started off at Wyoming. Why are you lying though?
0:55
Speaker 1: Like you said, you said two forty five, you're a liar.
0:57
Speaker 3: Forty five soaking with with.
0:59
Speaker 1: The backpack on, all the all the sweats, big chain,
1:02
Speaker 1: big hoodie too. No no doubt, Okay, as long as
1:04
Speaker 1: we know, like it wasn't forty five.
1:06
Speaker 2: But look I started off at Wyoming. I won seventy five,
1:10
Speaker 2: so one hundred pounds up outside linebacker with the dreads
1:15
Speaker 2: coming there with the dreads, nose pinsons.
1:19
Speaker 3: Yeah, Sacramento. I was in my young thug era.
1:23
Speaker 1: That's what you would have to claimed, young thug.
1:25
Speaker 3: Okay, Sacramento, California. Yeah.
1:27
Speaker 1: Yeah, came out of Sacramento to Wyoming. How do we
1:31
Speaker 1: get to Wyoming?
1:33
Speaker 2: You know, they just didn't know what to put me at.
1:38
Speaker 2: They was like two one seventy five. You've got good
1:42
Speaker 2: highlights on defense, but we can't put you at the
1:45
Speaker 2: end outside linebacker. You're not fast enough and the receiver
1:50
Speaker 2: you don't got the footwork for that. So I just
1:52
Speaker 2: ended up at Wyoming my only offer, and Washington State
1:56
Speaker 2: try to come at the last minute, but you know, mom, dudes,
2:00
Speaker 2: we're gonna stick with the day once.
2:01
Speaker 3: Okay.
2:02
Speaker 1: Oh it was a loyalty hype.
2:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, loyalty. So they didn't pay me, no check. I
2:06
Speaker 2: didn't get no range over.
2:07
Speaker 1: He was one seventy five. There was no check.
2:09
Speaker 3: Yeah, none of that. So I had to work my
2:11
Speaker 3: way up for sure.
2:12
Speaker 1: Two stars, three stars, Uh, no star.
2:15
Speaker 3: Probably no star. Oh, I didn't look into that. You know.
2:19
Speaker 3: I'm a grinder, yeah, a big grinder.
2:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, Okay, that is that is impressive to come
2:25
Speaker 1: out of University of Wyoming going drafted. Yeah, a d
2:30
Speaker 1: line coach, right, Neilson at the time, he was he
2:33
Speaker 1: was talking you up though, like you know what I'm saying,
2:35
Speaker 1: Like you had it like right before Ricky Cam He's hey,
2:38
Speaker 1: I got a guy. Yeah, he's gonna be special when
2:40
Speaker 1: we can get him here, we can get you you know,
2:43
Speaker 1: get him right, And I was like, you say this
2:44
Speaker 1: about everybody.
2:45
Speaker 3: Everybody.
2:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I'm saying, Like that is a
2:47
Speaker 1: coach spiel.
2:48
Speaker 2: But see, you know when when you get done playing,
2:51
Speaker 2: you're gonna see you're gonna have the eye.
2:54
Speaker 3: You know you're gonna have that.
2:55
Speaker 2: I Kim Jordan, obviously you're a great player, future Hall
2:59
Speaker 2: of famers. So Bryan Nielson, he obviously seen potential in me. Right,
3:04
Speaker 2: Like you said, I was only two forty so, but
3:08
Speaker 2: I could run all day like a gazelle. So when
3:11
Speaker 2: I came to a rookie minute camp, I was messing
3:14
Speaker 2: up every play, but I was down the field, fifty
3:17
Speaker 2: yards down the field trying to get the ball.
3:18
Speaker 3: So that's how that's how you make the team.
3:21
Speaker 1: Though, when I tell you there was that your rookie
3:25
Speaker 1: or your second year. It had been your rookie year
3:26
Speaker 1: when d line coach looked at you in the eyes
3:31
Speaker 1: mid play of a practice, right and was like, this
3:34
Speaker 1: is how you get cut?
3:35
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like, hey, yo.
3:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said that was that was actually the training
3:42
Speaker 2: camp for the second year.
3:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, second year. But all I was trying to do
3:46
Speaker 3: is be great.
3:47
Speaker 2: I was copying the vets, you know what I'm saying,
3:49
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't know no better. I'm still
3:52
Speaker 2: a rookie at this point until Game three up the
3:54
Speaker 2: next season and copy on the vets and I'm like,
3:57
Speaker 2: where am I messing up at?
3:59
Speaker 1: And he's just all in me, like he's going crazy.
4:05
Speaker 3: I had to get it right, you living, you learn right, right, right?
4:08
Speaker 1: But you made the team rookie year as undrafted, killed
4:12
Speaker 1: it on special teams, got some, got a little bit
4:14
Speaker 1: of playing time. Second year, made it to your own
4:19
Speaker 1: you know, third year rolling contract.
4:23
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean obviously I had to work my way up.
4:27
Speaker 2: I had a few first rounders in front of me,
4:28
Speaker 2: Marcus Davenport, a few other guys, and Mayan.
4:34
Speaker 3: Nielson, being an old school Chris.
4:37
Speaker 2: Henderson forgot, can't forget that and uh so when I
4:41
Speaker 2: first came in, you just got to know yourself. And
4:44
Speaker 2: I was just a special team guy. And I knew
4:47
Speaker 2: that if I wanted to stick around, it'll be a
4:49
Speaker 2: special team. It's funny because my coach at Wyoming was like,
4:53
Speaker 2: you know, at the next level, you're gonna have to
4:55
Speaker 2: play I ain't never what I'm a ball player like,
4:59
Speaker 2: I ain't and special teams what I look like as
5:02
Speaker 2: soon as I get to.
5:02
Speaker 3: The old player, special teams get back there.
5:06
Speaker 2: I return kickoff, field goal block and a bench one
5:11
Speaker 2: on defense. So yeah, I worked my way up first year,
5:16
Speaker 2: second year, third year behind h Hender Henderson, Marcus Davenport.
5:22
Speaker 2: But it was a blessing of I was able to see,
5:25
Speaker 2: like you know, probo greatness and learn from the older players, which.
5:31
Speaker 1: Brings you into you know, now just finished up year six,
5:34
Speaker 1: had your greatest season yet eight and a half sacks.
5:38
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, ain't a half that that's that's
5:40
Speaker 1: a breakout that now you can build off that. You
5:43
Speaker 1: up this upcoming season. What are we looking forward to?
5:45
Speaker 2: So upcoming season obviously sleeps. You could never be satisfied.
5:49
Speaker 2: So last season eight and a half, a few TFLs
5:53
Speaker 2: and first year starter. Obviously, I see the game way
5:58
Speaker 2: better now the player, and I just want to continue
6:04
Speaker 2: to evolving my game and getting better and recognizing offense
6:09
Speaker 2: so I could play faster. And I feel like I
6:11
Speaker 2: missed a lot of opportunities last year. I hit a
6:14
Speaker 2: big wall in the middle of the season. So I
6:16
Speaker 2: want to continue to just finish the whole season, start
6:19
Speaker 2: off strong, finished strong, and this season, I ain't even
6:22
Speaker 2: gonna go for numbers. I'm gonna just go for state talent.
6:25
Speaker 3: And kill it.
6:28
Speaker 1: Play recognition, I mean, yeah.
6:30
Speaker 2: That's the key part. And you know, some people, I
6:33
Speaker 2: don't know how people do it. They don't watch film,
6:35
Speaker 2: but I got to watch the offense and see like formations,
6:39
Speaker 2: and you know, that's what helped me play faster.
6:43
Speaker 3: That's the difference between now Grando.
6:45
Speaker 1: And I was trying to put you on this film
6:49
Speaker 1: early on here, it wasn't on their.
6:51
Speaker 2: Life look like like like you said, I came a
6:55
Speaker 2: long way. So when I first came in, just I
6:58
Speaker 2: was being content with just special teams, like knowing that
7:04
Speaker 2: I wasn't gonna get any playing time, knowing that you know,
7:07
Speaker 2: I probably get fourteen players a game and after you're four,
7:12
Speaker 2: it just clicked, like you know, Trey Anderson left and
7:16
Speaker 2: it was just like, I gotta switch and find something different.
7:20
Speaker 2: I can't keep doing the same thing. So I didn't.
7:23
Speaker 2: Went from waking up at eight o'clock and team meeting
7:25
Speaker 2: at nine to getting up at six working out, getting
7:29
Speaker 2: my conditioning in cold and hot tub and then eat
7:33
Speaker 2: breakfast and then team meetings.
7:34
Speaker 3: So just something small like that help them.
7:38
Speaker 1: We'll be right back. And you say, you say, you
7:41
Speaker 1: hit the wall? What is this wall? Why are you
7:43
Speaker 1: hitting the wall? Like during the season.
7:46
Speaker 3: You're a professional man.
7:47
Speaker 1: I mean during the middle of season, like you know,
7:49
Speaker 1: you start to get a little bit more like a
7:51
Speaker 1: little bit more focused towards you, like, yeah, like welcome
7:54
Speaker 1: to that that oh you're get in the double double
7:56
Speaker 1: team in the right ain't the wall?
7:58
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying That.
8:00
Speaker 1: That's where you that's where you really got to step
8:01
Speaker 1: on the gas.
8:02
Speaker 2: Really, you know what it was for me, I think
8:05
Speaker 2: going into training camp and then the first half of
8:09
Speaker 2: the season, boom. You just came from chraining camp, training camp.
8:14
Speaker 2: Got in the first half of the season. Obviously you're
8:16
Speaker 2: getting more reps, you sweating a lot more, you becoming
8:21
Speaker 2: more tired, you know at night time, so you probably
8:24
Speaker 2: not eating as much, you don't.
8:26
Speaker 3: Work out as hard. So for me last year, I
8:28
Speaker 3: feel like that was.
8:30
Speaker 2: The main main thing up hitting out wall, I start
8:33
Speaker 2: to lose a couple of pounds and you could see
8:36
Speaker 2: it in the game. So this year, you know, I
8:38
Speaker 2: got a chef. Now I'm have it for the season.
8:41
Speaker 2: I got it the whole off season. So that's the
8:45
Speaker 2: main thing for me is staying strong and being around
8:49
Speaker 2: the weight range that I want to play out so
8:50
Speaker 2: I could just continue to get better the whole season.
8:54
Speaker 3: Yeah. So that's I mean.
8:57
Speaker 1: Really like your first season of full time starting to Yeah,
9:00
Speaker 1: like so you go from you know, a couple of
9:03
Speaker 1: years because a few of the years you get more
9:04
Speaker 1: and more playing time till like last year you was
9:07
Speaker 1: eating fifty five sixty five plays.
9:10
Speaker 3: Sweating.
9:10
Speaker 2: I'm a sweater, so I sweat fact, but look, I
9:13
Speaker 2: give it a hundred and ten. I'm gonna give it
9:15
Speaker 2: a hundred ten practice. I'm a work card in the game, Like,
9:19
Speaker 2: I just sweat a lot. So I found I found
9:23
Speaker 2: a goal and I found.
9:25
Speaker 3: A cheat code. Out.
9:28
Speaker 1: You don't think you're unlocked life. You got life secrets.
9:31
Speaker 2: I got levels eight and a half was a little some,
9:34
Speaker 2: but yeah, we're gonna elevate though.
9:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there's there's there's a there's a reason why.
9:37
Speaker 1: You know, like the way your trajectory has gone. You
9:40
Speaker 1: kept on working, you kept on pushing the limits. Uh,
9:43
Speaker 1: you know, like for me on the Saints, I've been
9:45
Speaker 1: a sack leader. What is this going to the year fourteen?
9:49
Speaker 1: At least ten of them things? You know, I think
9:51
Speaker 1: the last person other than you to beat me out
9:53
Speaker 1: was Trey and you see where that goes. Before Trey,
9:56
Speaker 1: I think it was junior conn lect or like and
9:59
Speaker 1: that's wait, un maybe then my rookie year. So maybe
10:03
Speaker 1: I've had it for the last you know, nine out
10:04
Speaker 1: of thirteen seasons. It's not bad.
10:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's this upcoming season. I'm kind of excited. So like,
10:11
Speaker 2: you know you're gonna be on the other side, but
10:13
Speaker 2: I know you got some some tools coming back out
10:15
Speaker 2: of this.
10:16
Speaker 1: I'm big revenge season. You know, I was looking I
10:18
Speaker 1: was hurt for what second games last year?
10:20
Speaker 3: They don't know that, but it don't matter.
10:23
Speaker 1: Nobody cares.
10:24
Speaker 3: Bro.
10:24
Speaker 1: This is the production business at the end of the day.
10:26
Speaker 1: In the field of the business. Right, So we're gonna
10:28
Speaker 1: get back. We're gonna get back to big business. It
10:32
Speaker 1: was money on no, no, no, I want a super Bowl.
10:36
Speaker 1: You can have the money. You can have you can
10:39
Speaker 1: have the money. What would you want? Would you want
10:41
Speaker 1: a career where you make over a hundred million dollars
10:43
Speaker 1: or would you want a career where you make fifty
10:46
Speaker 1: five sixty but you got a super Bowl?
10:48
Speaker 3: I ain't gonna lie. I got the money. Like the money.
10:54
Speaker 2: If you touch the money, but if it don't make
10:56
Speaker 2: you like complete, it don't and it's happy yet you
11:01
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying, it's something missing. So I feel
11:04
Speaker 2: like the ring, the championship. I see other guys championship.
11:12
Speaker 2: You can't really say too much. It's got like when
11:14

11:16
Speaker 2: before us like you you up here.
11:18
Speaker 1: Every every coach is like, who won a championship? I
11:21
Speaker 1: need that feeling like I'm him man.
11:25
Speaker 2: Because look, even if you don't say you said a
11:27
Speaker 2: hundred mil boom or a ring, I picked a ring
11:32

11:34
Speaker 2: off the ring.

Speaker 3: Right. I know that a.
11:37
Speaker 2: Lot of people in the NBA, Like you got guys

12:28
Speaker 1: on the cusp of playoffs, like we're always.
12:31
Speaker 3: Fighting at the end. You want to know, it's so crazy.
12:35
Speaker 2: It seems like when when you don't make it to
12:37
Speaker 2: the playoffs, the season is much longer like and it's
12:41
Speaker 2: much like everything the whole season is just going backwards.
12:46

Speaker 1: But that ain't really bit us. We've always been in
13:07
Speaker 1: the hunt, you know, like those three years we haven't
13:09
Speaker 1: made it. This past three years, it's always like we
13:12
Speaker 1: have a chance to make it, even in like fighting
13:14
Speaker 1: for that last game or two whatever it is, and
13:17
Speaker 1: it's like, all right, we ain't never been in a
13:19
Speaker 1: position where it's been like halfway through the season and
