Yeah, I want to do this.
Do it?
You ain't tell me about glasses. How y'all want to do it?
Hey?
Now when you during the season, I didn't bother. But once the season's been over, I've been on the phone. We've been talking every day. That's my dog, you know it. Coach Prime, the greatest cornerback of all time, one of the top five defenders in the NFL.
Top to.
Top five at five, you're gonna put me in the top five.
That's insinuating.
Last jump out.
You can't do that.
You jump you jumping l T. And I was going to scare m T goes to the l T.
Yeah, yeah, tell me where the last time away.
From the Hey, you remember the last time we that we was at the Hall of Fame and I got on l t rickey Jack. We started joning back backstage, but we'll say that for a little later the show.
Are the tappy ass coach, Prime, if.
You were the head, if you could you, if you could choose as a head coach, would you be the head coach or the general manager of the charge.
I don't want to do pros. I love collage.
I will never do pro I don't believe that that's the last. I don't believe that Prime. You you was a very listen to me with me, baby, you are the very person who had a song called must be the Money.
And I'm straight and I'm straight.
And if they show you, if they show you that money over there in l A, guess where we're gonna be at. Notice, I said, we guess where we're gonna be at.
I'm so glad you said that. So let me address this one thing at a time. Must be the Money was a testimony. I wasn't bragging about the money. I was saying, must be the money that's turning y'all on. I said, diamond Rolex gators on my feet. I got a pair every day of the week. My has done my finger. Nail's two six buddets down. I don't know what to do, but I was saying, y'all changed, right right, you must be the money now.
Secondly, I'm straight on everything I need. Man, I'm having the time of my life. I'm sure Colorado.
I love the kids that I get, the coach. I love the recruiting process.
I love it so And I like the purity of the young men.
Yes, you know.
I like the.
Sensitivities and I like all that and the amateurism of it, even though it's turning to pros because everybody want a bag now. But I would have a hard time in the locker room where the guy that's making a multitude of millions and he don't want to play, I don't want to give this all. I will have a problem with that chat a real problem with that. And you know, we had teams like I don't do that. Yeah, And I've been trying to tell he ain't ever played with nobody.
He just didn't want to see it.
Wait, they just played for the money, played for the money, just didn't want to play it.
I really want to give it. They all just want to want to play. They had a lot of talent, and they didn't. They just messing around.
Well, well mess it around by doing things off the field.
Just don't want to do right.
Yeah, see, I ain't paying attention like that. Honestly, I ain't gonna lie. Aint gonna lie to you. I ain't gonna lie to you.
And I don't want you in l A. You can't be in l A one.
First of all l A and U l A. First of all, l A too expensive for me, you know how she am. I'm not getting the house.
I don't like for you. I don't like I want.
I'm trying to get closer to Shannon so he could take you. I want to see.
We don't want closer to him. You haven't got that hit.
If he ever invited you anywhere in California, text message.
Thank you, I meet you somewhere, if you get there, then he's gonna be basically from getting there East.
What's in there? Right right right?
That's who he is. You ain't know who he is. He don't want us there. First of all, he need to get his back in Atlanta.
That's what you need to do.
Oh yeah, I.
Don't.
You said you were taking me to the arm to the place with the booty juice.
Magic ain't going there. First of all, take it all. You still got it. You still got your house there. Yeah, you got a house there. You don't invite nobody and they don't let nobody use it.
That's selfish. That's why I called him selfish. All that he's selfish.
Hey can I can I use it for AIRBB.
I talked, I talked the marriage. I talked the marriage. They come on with the Magic.
First of all, Magic is a hero, a national treasure. Let's get that right.
Magic.
Magic came in one of the games, still looking good, Still fly Magic, You're still match. You talking about somebody that should have a movie, a documentary done?
Yeah yeah yeah, Magice change that like.

The way these guys run one step slant rounds now mad them, lie back of singletary them guy John whose guy would knock.
You into that hit?
Game is different. The game is different. And back to what Brady said, And as far as the league being watered down, this is because of the Competition Committee. This is because of the NFL. Because the NFL wanted to make the offense, make it, make the offenses have score points, make the game more entertainment for fans, you know, so fans could be engaged a little bit more so. Now they've handicapped defensive players where they throwing flags on everything. You can't hit nobody in a minute, I said it, trying to be funny. In a minute, they're gonna be playing two hand touched.
No, they did the Pro Bowl and Pro Bowl. Remember that we were that the Pro Bowl comes second half.

So what's up?
Man?
What's on?
And we're good?
Bro A.
Talk to us about the season.
You go into the season, okay, you trained the off season, you go into mindset says okay, I need to be on one this year. I need because you know, maybe they feel a certain type of way. Maybe they're like, well, yeah, Brandon, you're doing okay, but can you can you be that number one? If something were to happen to devo? If you know, So, what's your mindset going into a season?
I think just the mindset is getting ready to be my best self, just getting ready to have my body match up with what I want to do mentally. If I could tell my body to do this and do that and it can go along with it. Then I feel like I'm in great shape to have a great season. So that's just that's just the mindset, getting my body to be the best that it could be for twenty three, twenty four weeks because that's the mindset. That's that's that's how long we're getting used to playing now. So that's all the mindset is.
You go, okay, you have a mindset, so it's okay. If I'm healthy, I want to be able. I want my mind to match my body. I've done everything I needed to do in the off season, the way I ate, the way I trained, the way I prepared, the way I focused. I don't know if you have a sports a psychologists, but my mind is in a great place. You go through the season, you're healthy, you have the type of season that you thought you should have, and now you guys get to the playoffs and you're playing well and you get to the Super Bowl. Talking through that Super Bowl, because you guys came out on fire, you had to lead a ten point lead for very much of the ball game, and then you let it get away. They tied up in regulation, taking overtime, and you guys, unfortunately lose that ball game. So tell me what's your mindset and was the team mindset in that game going into the game?
Uh, going into the game, just going into the game playing our baseball, trying to play trying to play playing ball, playing football because when we do that, we win, We win ball games. So just trying to play clean, trying to play our brand of football.
But uh, yeah, that was it.
The game, Uh, in a different direction that we thought. You know, we we we were trying to grasp hold of it multiple times in the game, but we just couldn't. We just couldn't fully grasp it and we never did so cause.
You got you guys had a ten point lead. I mean, you guys were in control. And I was talking about having been in games like this. Uh, Brandon, I'm like, when you have control of the game, how much separation can you put between you and the other team when you have that control, Because you know they're gonna get it eventually, You're not gonna hold a half of momentum throughout the entire of the game. So how much separation did you say that? Damn?
Man?
You look up, You're like, man, we out played them the whole game and they only down by seven points.
They only down by three points.
The whole game, I mean the whole game. I think it was a it was multiple time just thurn off the game. I think, like you said, we were ten those seven three, seven whatever when we was up. I can't remember exactly, but we was up. And there was multiple multiple times where defense going out there getting starts, going out there, going starts, getting going out there getting starts, but we coming off the field too. So it was it was in those moments where you're like this game, especially who we playing on the other side, where it's just like you never had ease just because you're like, we gotta stay on the field.
You got play up because we already know how we know.
We've seen this story two many times so and unfortunately we've seen it when we seed it another time, like like y'all said, man, we're back to it. I just started to climb back up this week. I just you know, I was telling I enjoyed my birthday and March I was I was in Mexico cooling.
With the faun Happy birthday and happy birthday.
Appreciate that and then just just getting just getting right, just getting back ready to try to climb back up again. That's that's, that's all it is, and trying to get some and trying to get you know, trying to get something else on before.
That before yeah, hey, speak hey, speaking of speaking of something else before that. Listen, you wanted the best in the league. I'm talking about top five. Listen to your resume. It speaks for itself. You're going into your fifth season. Last year you had seventy five catches, thirteen hundred some yards, seven tds, and you was ranked second in NFL in YPC, right, So that speaks for itself. So there should be no discussion when it comes to taking care of you, when it comes to your value.
Rachel sid Look, I'm sick about that second one because look, yeah all tar that y PC, Yes, and I would say I finished second.
Look, you know, for who was you know who was first?
Who first?
Piggins?
Piggins was first. Piggins had pickings. So the whole I'm leading it the whole entire year. I'm leading the whole entire year. Last game of the see, I think Piggins didn't have no catches in the last game in the season. Last game of the season.
What's his name?
Party ain't play they sent me out there, right, and I lost it in the last week. So I'm mad about that when I sit here saying.
Wow, but it's all, yeah, yeah, it's it's it's listen. There's certain things that that we can see from the outside looking in. I can see. So when it comes to and I hate, I hate most of the time. You know, players don't really like to talk about their contract negotiations or anything having to do with money, but I would do it for you. Don't have to say anything but appreciate that you are so fucking valuable to that offense. You're what I call a true number one who can play on the outside, play on the inside.
You can beat.
You can beat any goddamn covers there is that out there. You're one of the few players in the NFL that plays receiver where you don't need your offensive coordinator's help to get open when when the coach tell you, I need you to get open here on third and two or whatever, it is, no matter what they got lined up in front of you, you on a few that can go out there and get open on the muscle. So I don't understand what the issue is over there with the GM and your owners, But just understand you deserve to get paid. And I ain't just talk about no any money. I'm talking about thirty thirty two a year and I need three percent.
I appreciate that. I appreciate that.
I appreciate it.
Oh wait, oh wait, I appreciate you. I ain't have to say because you know what I'm saying.
Yeah, don't don't, don't do that.
Under that, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I appreciate that.
So so Brandon, when obviously your your representative have been talking to John Lynch, who's the general manager, and there have been the swirlings about he's going to get traded, blah blah blah. But John Lynch came out earlier this week and said, I promise you nothing is going on there. And then you had the IG story with the emojis, the money, the talk it, the BA and to walk it. So what what's been relayed to you as much as you can divulge what's been relayed to you through your representative.
That's we're trying to get work done. They're trying to get work done. I mean, they're trying to get work down, are you. That's that's that's all. That's all I can say. Uh, y'all know how y'all know how it gets. I don't even I don't even want to get too far into that. But you know, I'm just trying to. I'm just trying to get like like like just said, I'm trying to I'm trying to get what I what I deserve.
I felt like this season, this season playing football, I figured.
Out who I was as a person as a player, What I bring to the table, what I bring to the locker room, what I bring uh to an organization. H Yah, just the value I hold when I walk in that building because people gonna follow me because I've done it the right way since I've been in that building, from from from you the first day I walked in there to when I was in her earlier this morning, done it the right way. So and if they don't see it work in that, that's all that's all it is.
That's all it is.
It ain't nothing else besides that. But I can't, like I said, I can't get into it. We got professionals working on both sides, so hopefully we can come to a professional agreement and continue to play professional football.
Like it I like it.
I played at the offense for a number of years, Brandon, and I know one thing of a wide receiver, you get rewarded for blocking. You're one of the better blocking wide receivers, and you have to in order to have the running back to have success because now when you're blocking downfield, you debo Jenny Kindled those four and five yards turn into twenty twenty five, thirty forty yards. How much pride do you guys as a unit take pride in blocking?
Uh?
So much pride, so much pride.
That's the one thing before the routes, before touchdowns, before any of the stuff that you see.
Uh, it just started with that.
And I think I think once we once we as a room as a unit previously in the past became especially Deebo, George guys like that, we came up and we just said, you know what, that's it, that's gonna be. That's like the standard is the stand, that's what it's gonna be. So, uh, we're gonna start with that. And I feel like and I feel like, uh, the moment I started blocking like that, it just kind of carried over into the way that I ran routes, the way that I released the way that I.
Just played, just played the game. Just if you had that.
Attacking mindset that you're gonna that I'm just gonna put hands on this. He's not gonna make plays. He's an X from this play. Then one now from now, you got a route on third, third down, You're already in the game. You're already flown.
You already. That's how I feel personally. I'm already. I'm already.
I'm already in the game. I already made a play. I didn't I didn't set ce mac free. Uh for thirty five. He did increase one because I didn't made a block. Now I'm already had It feels like I already caught a ball. Now that first play that might come to me because I might not only might get five or six. So I gotta make, I gotta make, I gotta make.
I've receive so.
Uh, playing with that mindset, I probably get help me a lot. So it's just that's what it came out too. To the blocking two as well.
That's a lie, Like, hey, listen, that's and that's the funny thing about it is you listen. I already talked about you as a receiver. Obviously, we know what you could do as a receiver, but you were you. You like what I consider complete because when it came to blocking, I was horrible.
I was wasn't he wasn't blocking, wasn't.
I just run people off. I'm I'm too little. I couldn't even bench one thirty five. So I just run people off. I don't got time to be engaging in something that I'm gonna lose, not from what I heard, if I'm not mistaken, from what I heard, if I'm not mistaken, I heard you could squat almost five hundred.
Pounds back when I back when I used to squad like that. Don't squat like that, no more.
No, but you can squad five hundred pounds.
I mean, put it on.
Put it.
I probably could put it on there squatted, but it ain't working out like that.
You got to say the legs now MANI with a pound squad leg.
They don't run it. They don't get in and out of breaks.
I got a start and start exactly.
Let me, Brady, let me ask you this.
The play before you guys kicked the field golden overtime, you guys had a play, and I don't know how many people have seen it. But I know you gone back and watched that tape because Lagarious Need missed the jam and you come wide open, but Chris Jones came free im pressure party and he ends up throwing the ball away. How many times have you replayed that play in your mind?
None? Like none.
It's because it's like, well, first of all, that play wasn't going to me that that we were running. We running, uh we running, were running slat return to JJ and the slide okay, and I already know there's no way's coming back there. I don't think it's gonna come all the way back to me. I already know this play, this play going here, Yeah, front sided play. So I don't even I don't even too much thing about that play. It's the it's the place way long before that. It's the place way long before that that that day get to me because we had multiple chances long before that one to even too. So I don't I don't put too much on that play, but yeah, I don't put too much.
Yeah, have you thought?
Have you thought about the Super Bowl and the missed opportunities that you guys had.
I ain't gonna lie until before I went to Toakbo for my birthday. I was in the house like just wroun, like a zombie, Like I was like, it just wasn't good. So I find I got to I got to go out there and relaxing and get away from it. Now I'm finally just now able to able to move forward a little bit, but even.
Just still just still cause it's because it's just like.
Champion, Oh my god, I come back.
I come in my house and I got you know, I got I'm a big bron fan, but I got Kobe.
I got Kobe.
I got picture of Kobe holding and I got a picture of myself shaking Tom Brady hand in my in my crib and I just get back. I'm just sitting there a couple of weeks after the game looking at that picture the day when I got back, looking at that picture, like I ain't really understand the magnitude of what I just had in front of me until now I'm here on this on this.
Other side, and I don't get to hold it. So but at the same time, I'm grateful for it gave me.
It gave me, It gave me another It gave me, it gave me something else to see and work towards too, because I'm already.
I'm already.
It's a fact.
I'm a top receiver in this league. It's a fact, you know, anything receiver wise is a fact. We don't have to even get into it.
But I'm not a champion.
So it gave me.
It gave me another It gave me some to strive and work towards too, and and want to get back on this climb again.
Speaking of speaking of, I'm gonna ask you about your quarterback, brock perty Man. He passed over four thousand, he had thirty one touchdowns. Obviously, he was third in the NFL with those stats, but for some reason he still had some doubters. What do you think is the case for that? And what is it like playing with brock.
Uh?
I mean he played on the Niners. He they don't want they don't want it, they don't want to they don't want it. They don't want it.
They gonna they're gonna take forever, They're gonna take until the last moment possible to say, all right, you know, we're gonna give me his credit, you know, but that's just that's we We cool with that, We cool with that. He's that he's I feel like he's an underdog myself. I feel like I'm an underdog. But you can't hold a underdog down for too long. You can't hold it now. No matter how hard you try, you ain't gonna holdhim down.
So uh, I enjoyed.
I enjoyed playing with him. I had a lot of fun playing with him. Uh Like, But we we only we had only just got started. So we'll see what we'll see what happens down going down the road. And yeah, hopefully I'll continue to praise him, which no matter how it goes that he he nice, He nice for real? So he nice, nice?
He nice. You in that draft, I mean you look at your draft. You had Hindy Ruggs and Jerry Judy, yourself, uh c d Justin Jefferson, uh Jalen Regor, uh T Higgins was in the second round, Mooney, I mean that that draft was loaded. But where would you rank yourself? Where would you consider yourself? Not just in your draft class, but with all the receivers, the ty Reids, the the Davonte Adams, all those guys.
Where where Brandon y'all you in that? In that in that, in that conversation, I.
Na say like this.
I don't like I don't even want to get too much into ranking and this and that, but I'll say this the one thing that we could go up based off of it.
That's not gonna tell us.
No lies, that's not gonna it don't have no pizs. It don't have it's not it's not leading any dressing. Is the tape cut the tape on for twenty two weeks of football. Nobody else can't say they played twenty two some weeks of football.
They can't.
They can't whoever anybody what you just name. They can't say they've been a three NFC Championship championship games. They can't say they've been a you know what I'm saying, Like, so everybody doing all this, but we're trying to it's something else. We already passed yards. We already passed yards and touched out. Of course we're gonna get yards and touched outs. Can't nobody sticky. It's the reason why you bring this up. But what else are we gonna bring? Where are we else we gonna take it to? Like it's the reason why it's we talked about Patrick Patrick Mung every single every single day because nobody can't do nobody can't do nobody can't do that, Nobody doing that, and Will were chasing right here here where we was at, just at we feel like I just seen some somebody comments say, pretty supposed to have two championships.
I mean, of course they can say supposed to have. But I read that and I saw that, and I said it could have went.
He could have hen we could be sitting here right now with twos with two championships. So that's the only thing I'm worried about. Championships right now. I'm championships, championships, championship. I ain't trying to get into who's number one and two and three and four or five?
Number one? Have you been to the playoffs? Have you been to a champion of Super Bowl?
How you been? No?
So I'm not even gonna championship.
They're a photo of Mike Tomlin, you split you.
I think you retweeted it Mike Tomlin, and you're like, hey, you tweeted picture of you and Mike say, hey, they say it with twins.
What do you think?
How surprised are you that that photo has guarded the attention that had y'all do kind of look like twins.
Brandon are y'all are club of or something?
Dog Boat back by dog Boat from you look like him?
But uh.
No, I mean that piece. I mean that it was.
It was funny.
I had seen it like right after the super Bowl. You know, they trying to they trying to kick you while you're already down. So I'm like, all right, it's cool, y'all. Get y'all get at me, y'all get at me. It's all good. I'll take it.
Uh because you know, and I was talking, I've been talking shit, they got they got it, so then they got me again.
But it was cool.
I just said, I just.
Brought it back full circle because I felt like I was waking up.
Like this this.
Uh like every day, every day while you under a Negota negotiating or whatever you want to contract talks, every day is like a different day.
So it's just like that.
So I had woke up. So I was like, you know what, like I keep bringing, I keep bringing. On my birthday, I said, you know, I'm not gonna say nothing. I was gonna leave my agent alone. I ain't gonna do nothing. I was gonna wait to last for my birthday and then I'm I'm trying to put a little bit more pressure on them. So uh, I get I get there, I wake up, I wake up right after I wake up, and they talk about they talking about another team again. They talk about another team that they got me supposed to being to trade toss or whatever whatever whatever. So I said, hey, let me let me just go ahead and let me just if we want to make if everybody's saying this and this and that, let me go ahead and I'm just going let me just put out one of my little spots that I you know, and I'll revert back to Tom and we can have a little bit of fun with it.
It's all, it's all.
It's all in fun.
It's all fun, like I said, professionals. But it is what it is, man. But that's that's that's that's where the Thomas that came from.
I didn't know you from South Carolina. What part of Carolina you from?
Now I'm talking about my dog. I said, you look like my dog. Both from South Carolina. Oh yeah, yeah, my dog, my dog debo.
Oh de okay, not bad.
I was like day, I thought you was from like CALLI or something.
No, I'm from RNA.
Nevada Readava, Yes, sir, oh the biggest little city, and you've been over there. I have not been over there, but I heard about it. No, I haven't been there.
Okay, okay, okay, Hey, bro, So.
Anything else you anything else you want to share because listening from outside, it sounds like you're kind of disappointed that the contract negotiations haven't gone as smoothly as you anticipated, considering you've been a model citizen inside the building, you've been a model citizen out on the field, you've been a model citizen outside the facility.
Well, look, let me ask y'all.
Do y'all know. Do y'all know like the timing, the timing and everything that goes on with negotiation talks?
Like I know, I know one thing for the skill position. If you're not a quarterback, we gotta fight tooth and nail. So this is what we all have to go through. We all have to go through this, and it would all it would always be like this no matter what. But you are handling it the right way because the market is the market. Your resume is your resume, Your value is your value. Ray Charles can see what you can do. Other teams can also see what you can do, so they can play games that they want to. If they don't want to give you what you deserve, and I know what you deserve, other teams will give you what you deserve and they gonna overpay for it if they lets you walk out that door. So either where it go, either where you cut it, it's a win win for you no matter what. Based on your resume. So for you, for you, you should be smiling every goddamn they no matter what, because you're gonna be good for some I guess.
Your frustration, Brandon, because had you not performed like you have, they would have done traded you or released you. So now I've overperformed. Now compensate me for the work that I've done. I've had a couple of these ranted early in my career. I held I ended up having to hold out for two weeks. My my my my third contract, no, my fourth contract. I signed it the day before the day of training camp, the day of training camp, and then uh, they didn't they didn't re sign me. I go to Baltimore, win a championship, go to the Pro Bowl. They released me, I go back to Denver. So it's it's I'll tell you like this, the best thing you can do is to keep your emotions in check. Don't get too high, don't get too low. Because I know you're staying in constant contact with your your representative. He's doing a good job as he possibly can to keep you in the right frame of mind. Contracts talks are going well.
They have a you.
He probably haven't told you, but I think there's a number that that are the forty nine ers have in mind. You kind of want to go over that number, and I believe you've earned the right to go over that number based.
On what you've done. And yes, you gotta do yes, And.
That's the frustrating part. I look, I've been a player, and I understand the business aspect from a team, but I believe you should reward your players for what they've done and what you believe they can do. Now, if that don't thank you, it's like, well, you know what, this was a nice lated.
Incident, and they know what's going on. Come on exactly, they know what's going on.
I know what's going on.
It's like I said, it's it's it's not easy. It's not it's business. It's business, and it's it's multiple people involved in in business and we're all trying to get to one thing.
Mhm.
But like I said, they're gonna do it with me or without me. You're gonna have a better chance with me. We just leave it at that. Yeah, we just leave it at that.
Control what you can control, which is your frame of mind and the work that you put in to be ready to go wherever that may be.
Ready.
You know I'm gonna be ready.
You know I'm gonna be ready.
I'm here, you know I'm gonna be ready.
Come on now, Brandon, I really appreciate you taking time.
Wait wait a minute, Wait a minute, Wait a minute, wait a minute. What about I want on ones?
We can wanna, we can want on one who we can want them on? Who we can want on one?
Who not play dB?
Though you don't play dB?
What talking about? I?
I was, but Brandon, I was drafted as the dB and they switched you to receive it because the dB room was full.
I was. I was a dB two and.

Okay, No, So so you want to play basketball one on one?

Yes, sir, band Brandon when he said he was drafted at me, he was running behind someone. He was drafting off them, you know, to try to get it. You know, he didn't want to exert that much energy. He was not drafted in no dB. But I want to take the time back right now. Thank you for joining us on Night Capri. We really appreciate you give them some of your time, offered, insight to your game, what transpired during the season, the super Bowl, and best of luck on this contract.

Jane Daniels j D. What's up? How you doing?
Bro?
Jay was good? Black? What's happening? Man? Chilling? Chilling, chilling right here. I'm sure I'm trying to see how you're feeling, man, that that childhood dream is gonna happen in a few more days. How you feeling, man?
Honestly?
Like anxious? Like you know, I'm just ready to get this. Hear my name calling it to work?
Has it hit you yet? Like it hasn't been set in yet.
Huh No, I don't really set in. You know, I've been everywhere, you know, flying back and forth, being on flights, you know, thirty visits, top thirty visits, stuff like that, So I really had time to really sit back and really think about it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa jack, hold on, hold on? Yeah, why are you taking all them visits? You're like, where y'all picking? Y'all picking eight? I ain't coming to see y'all. Man, stop playing with me.
That's a long, a lot of time thing.
Yeah, you gotta you gotta take them Mark getting all the frequent flyer miles.
No trying to so walk us through the process. Okay, you win the Heisman.
Yeah, you're like, okay, I can't do any more less you I'm I'm I'm out of here.
I'm okay.
So now you go through the process, talk talk us through, talk our audience through what's going through jayde and Daniel's mind. Once he wins the Hois and once you have the year that you have, what's going from that point? You have the year that you have, you're the twenty twenty three Heisman Trophy winner. Walking through from there.
I mean, once I heard my name.
Even before that point, I kind of like, after the texts in them game, I was like, man, I ain't got noth enough for left for college and I can't do it.
I can't play. I can't play in this bowl game.
You know.
I was like, Man, I'm telling all my people's like clubs wanted to me, like Malik and Brian, and I'm telling them like, man, I'm out, i can't playing this Bowlain love y'all.
Uh, but it's time for me to move on. And then right there kind of really just moved out of.
Louisiana, moved back to California, took like two weeks off, and then after our bowl game, got to work.
So you started, So you go through the draft. I mean, so when did you?
When did you?
Because obviously, oh yo ask you. This is a lifelong dream and so now you're about to fulfill. This is not the end of one journey, it's the beginning of another journey. So what is your expectations? Are you going to be in New York? I mean, excuse me, Detroit.
I'm going to Detroit.
Okay.
So that's always been a lifelong dream to be there and to walk on that stage and give Roger Goodell that hug.
Honestly, it hasn't.
My My lifelong dream is being first round picked to hear my name. I thought about it differently, but then once you're in the process, you know you can go high. I'm like man, like everybody like man wants a lot of comportunity to walk across that stage, you know, hold that jersey.
So I was like, man, I can't miss out for show.
Yeah, it's one thing that I always thought about. Most of the time, you just want to get drafted. But I know players in the back of their mind, they always they always think about a favorite team that they always wanted to want to play for. So, as a child growing up, who is your favorite team growing up? And how do you feel about your chances of playing there?
Now?
I'm not asking, I'm not asking you want to go now?
My chances my chances are slim playing there, right, They're very slim. They got a QB. But growing up, my favorite team is forty nine. It so okay, okay, they got a team, So my chances are very slim going there.
Yeah, they they messed that up, Jane when they traded up a couple of years ago to the third pick. Maybe they hadn't done Maybe they hadn't done that, that mud have been an opportunity for you.
We never know.
So now now that you so, what is it? So your family's around you? Obviously your mom's gonna be there. So what what's it like to know that, you know what, I'm gonna be able to take care of my mom? My mom. I don't know if your mom's working or your dad's working, but you know, hey, baby got this thing now, everybody all the way down.
Yeah, man, both my parents are still working, so it'll be able. Now everybody looking at me, so I'll be able to you know, it's they put in all the work, you know, to give me to this point and sacrifice and stuff like that, so uh be able to take care of them a little bit, not too much.
You know, they still gotta work.
But but you know, whenever, whenever I get the chance to take care of then I'm gonna take care of once I get second conte.
Yeah, yeah like that. Yeah, give me three years, give me three years, just hold over three years.
That's a good one. Listen, you you had an exceptional exceptional season last year. Now, from my understanding, you played so well due to your nutrition in which you ate before games. Yeah, pregame meal was an omelet and two often. Now once you get to the NFL, will you change your routine as far as nutrition the concern You're gonna stay, You're gonna You're gonna stay true to yourself.
Hey, I'm I'm in between, man, I'm true to myself. Like I could get away with a little bit. You know, I eat fast food still to the day, Windy.
I mean, that's what I'm talking about. That's why you're gonna be successful at the next level.
You heard that, you heard it.
I still I still your fast foods.
Man. Let's go.
Man, Well I'm sure about but have you talked to any teams and have your trainer said, Jane, we probably need to put about ten fifteen pounds on you, not right now, but through the process over.
The next show. So yeah, yeah, yeah, most definitely. Like the teams I talked to, it was like what I played last year, I was like around like two or five.
So it was like, you know, we were just gonna put in put on weight progressively, but we ain't gonna overload you.
So you know your play start to digress.
Talk to us about the what you You started out of Arizona State. Yeah, and then you go to LSU. What was your thought process of entering the portal and going to LSU and leaving Arizona State.
Man, that was hard, you know, just being there for three years.
You know, I got I got love much love for her, y'all love her, marv Ap all those guys.
So it was hard just to leave them.
You know, I still to day, I remember Marvel blowing my phone, like, come talk to me before you leave, talking talking to her before I left.
It's hard.
Uh.
But one thing about them, they always expected me, you know. They they told me if I don't got nowhere to go, I still got to go home here. So you know, to this day it was a genuine love. But Chanser the l s U.
Man, h.
Honestly, what to expect?
I was.
I just need a freshen to start, you know. I want to go get go compete against the best.
Uh.
You know, the SEC and the boys in the South built a little different. So I want to go down there and play against the play with them. And I was blessed enough to go to the l s U. L s U was an opportunity for me and then I was able to play on the biggest stage.
Was it?
Was it a shock once you got to the second realized the difference from playing in the PAC twelve as opposed to being in the second. Once you got there, was it not not a culture shock, but was from a from a skill perspective? Was it eye opening?
Man?
Yeah?
I mean I would just say, like the mentality you know you got. I was blessed enough to play with Malik and Brian. You know, every practice, no matter who it was, old line, d line receivers, linebackers, dbs. You know, they always talking talking crazy.
Man.
He has one thing.
That's one thing about Elipe man, he always talking crazy. No matter what he thinks, nobody could guard him. He's always open. You know, he got the little dog in this so I respect that. But you know, all across the board, they all got the dog because of how they was raised. You know they was they was raising much. They ain't have much to do but football, so uh, you know this is all they know.
That's dope.
You go to l s U.
Did you think this type of season was possible? I mean you had some I mean you had some fantastic run. Yeah, fantastic players in Arizona State. But did you think this?
Yeah, man, honestly, I knew. Like before I went to college, I was like, man, I want to win a Heisman. But going taking it back, going to back to this off season, I was like, man, I'm gonna win this.
Heis like that that was my goal. I put it. You know, we're working out in the weight room.
I put it up on top of the rack, you know, the strength coaches put like a little appliq for me, Me and Belief.
So Malife had a blend the cough out of Heisman. So we work out, we are we're constantly just looking at it like we had that goal set, like, man, we're trying to go get this, and then we just started balling. I mean, our chemistry, just a whole offensive chemistry. Man, start hitting off and we took off from there.
That's dope.
Man.
Hey, listen, obviously, with you going to the next level, there are some great quarterbacks going to the draft, obviously, brother brother Drake May, Haleb Williams, and then Michael Penning Junior and some other players. What do you think separate yourself from the other quarterback? Excuse me, what do you think, separate yourself from the other quarterbacks in the draft, from your your own perspective.
Man, I say, uh, I mean I can't speak for everybody, but I'm a competitor. I'm a dog man, uh you know, and in my capability, you know, I could you know, you get me, I could go eighty.
So that separated man. Just uh you know, I'm getting to know those guys. I mean, I know they all got high football accuses, but I would say.
Just that dog and me like, uh, you know, this is all I know.
You know, I grew up football. Well I was always doubted. You know, people doubted me to this day. So uh you know I take that, you know, added to the fire at the end of the day. So but other than that, man, you know, just my escape of bulgy man, my legs, I don't know, God blessed me with us.
I gotta keep using them.
So how's the visits gone? You go to these teams you say you have up you have thirty visits. I don't know if you take it all thirty of them. So when they get so walk out audience, out viewing audience and out listening out of your through What is it like for Jade and Daniel. Let's just say, okay, you go, you went to Washington in New England, Arizona. Let's just take those three teams because they're in the top five.
And what is that?
What are they asking you to do? Are they asking you to diagram play? They ask you, okay, what's this play for? What you did in college? What's that process?
Like?
Man, it's kind of just like, you know, they want to they want to kind of introduce you to the offense. You know, see quiz you a little bit, get up and you know, do do a little caten sit in there, Uh, learn more about yourself. That's kind of like on those visits, they want to learn more about the person. You know, they know about the football player. They want to learn more about the person, like your background, where you come from, you know, how was you raised?
Stuff like that.
So that's kind of what I've been getting. And then from there they really want to see your football Q like what can you remember? Uh yeah, it's kind of like they you know, they quiz you a little bit, so, uh, they just want to see if you're a smart potball player, especially be in the corback. You know, you gotta have a high football Q so that stuff like that that I kind of did when I was going to visit.
That's dope. Listen, I'm not male Kiperr. I'm not. I'm not I'm not Cleo. But I have uh epiphany that for some reason you will end up with AP at the RATUS.
Now.
I don't know how they're gonna jump all the way up to number two. I'm not sure. I just think that's what's gonna happen. I'm telling you, so if you just so happy to be a Raider, I just want to be the first one to get the jersey. I just want to be the first one to want to sign it. I'm gonna put it up back here. And I'm excited for you, man, I'm excited for you. I'm excited for you. I ran I didn't ran into you a couple of times. Obviously, you know you were my son over at as U at one point. I'm excited, man. It's gonna be really dope to see you across that stage.
Man.
I appreciate that since since we're talking about the Raiders, A P was the DC when you was at Arizona State, and this would be an opportunity if you were for if you were they made a move, because obviously they're not gonna be You're not gonna be there when they select, so they're gonna have to jump over a lot of people to select you.
What would that what would you have?
You have?
You know what it's like, you know a p you know, you know how he is as a person, you know how he is as a coach. What would that be like to be re united with a guy that he was with? Are going to state?
I don't know how they're gonna put off, But I mean that's above my pay grade.
Man, But yeah, I wouldn't do it.
I ain't the quarterback. Jay, give me that up.
Hey man, just a team man, ap just as a human being. You know, he the right he the right coach for that for that team. You know, just him and the intensity it brings.
You know, he challenged people. He was challenging me at eighteen. So I know, I know if I if I go to the Raiders, I'm not saying.
I'm gonna go there. I want to go there, you know, I want to go wherever my name called. But if I was going to Raids, I know he goes as soon as I stepped he's gonna challenge me.
He don't care how high I job did, none of that. You know, he's gonna challenge me every day.
You thought about a.
Yeah, I say when you think about it's very important for quarterbacks, especially coming out, coming out in the draft. You think about your situation at l s U. You look at your supporting cast that was around you. They make your job very easy. Malie Neighbors and the rest of the receiving corps at number two. Based on again I'm not mel kiper, but they talk about Caleb Williams going first. Obviously we'll be going to the Bears. The commanders are number two, and I'm thinking you number two period. Look at this, Look at this supporting cast.
That you have in d C.
They got some John what Johann Dotson, McClaren, mclauren. Man, listen, boy, but you're gonna be in heaven. You're gonna be in And I think it's I think it's so imperative that you go to the right situation so you have your receiving corps. Once you got a receiving corps and they able to build around you and you can just be you. Yeah, well it's it's gonna I'm not saying it's gonna be a breeze, but I just know I know the work you put in because it shows up on film. So it's a transition from college to the NFL. It's gonna be. It's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be awesome.
Have you have you thought?
Have you thought about the emotion that you could potentially feel when with the second pick or the third pick in the NFL draft?
Second, it's gonna j.
You're gonna know, I gotta I gotta man, you know, hopefully if I look at my mama, my mama will cry. My dad probably gonna cry too, So I don't know. Maybe if I look at them, they might get me a little bit.
Yeah, you're gonna cry. You're gonna cry. You're gonna You're gonna be. You're gonna be a meme. You're gonna be a meme.
That's a lifetime, man, That's unbelievable. Jane, much success, man. Thank you for jumping on with us tonight. We greatly greatly appreciate it.
