Big guys in the bins with my guy Grady Jet. Take one. I got that one. That was good right there. Thing catch that finger. I know. That would have messed your day up right there. Well, you doing it right, man. You I mean, shoot. I I enjoy watching your content, bro. Even though I enjoy watching when you was playing, bro, but still at the same time, bro. Been watching for years, bro. We got to We got to stick together, man. That’s short, man. You know what I’m saying? They said, “Oh, you too short to play in the league.” I played nine years, dog. Yeah, facts. Right. Saying, “So, I got I got my son doing wrestling and shot quit.” Oh, yeah. See, that’s like this what you got to do, man. Yeah. I already know. Y’all wrestle. You was number one in the state, right? So, y state. Y’all won state. Um I was I didn’t want to go out my freshman year cuz I wasn’t like cool for real. But my coach came and got me. He’s like, “I need you to come out.” So I end up winning my my region my 10th grade year, 11th grade, end up winning state my senior year. So that was probably one of the biggest, you know, I had already committed to Clemson. So there was really no reason for me to go do wrestling again, but it was like one of my biggest goals. Like I can’t leave without without getting the ship. Yeah, man. So it was awesome, bro. That’s why I’m trying to get my son on, bro. I’m like, this is the formula right here, bro. I’m telling you. You never really forget and it translate to your game. You know what I’m saying? like you know double team like in it being like a shorter defensive tackle. We got to use our leverage to it. You see what I’m saying? No, ain’t nothing like that. It’s not a game, bro. It’s not a game. What’s What’s the one of the funniest things that happened to you uh during the game? I remember back in like this had to be maybe 2018. We was playing the Giants when I was in Atlanta and uh I made a sack on Eli Manning and Brian Pool at the time, one of my good friends to this day, kind of dapp me up, but he like hit me in the throat. So, I’m celebrating and I’m like, like, oh And it wasn’t funny then, but I look back on it now. I actually watched the tape the other day. I’m like, bro, I totally forgot that happened, bro. I was so mad at him. Was it a third down? It was like third down, stop everything. I know you was really getting into facts. Facts. He’s like one of my closest friend on the team at the time. Like and then we going on um by week the next week. So me and him already kind of got our plans going. I’m like, “Bro, we supposed to be chilling. I I can’t you don’t punch me in the throat after the big play. I can’t even celebrate, right?” So uh that’s funny. That one of my That’s one of the funniest things looking back on it. But it weren’t funny then. That doesn’t hurt. I This is You know what? I used to celebrate with u my teammates, but they used to be like safeties and DBs and stuff like that, but I didn’t realize how strong I was. So I’d be going in for the chess department and be flying all that. So I had to stop cuz I had like I’m too strong with like my celebrations, man. Yeah. Fact. That’s like a guy played with name Steven Means, man. Stephen played with us in Atlanta for a long time when I was in Atlanta and bro Stevens come beat you up celebrating with you, bro. People uh I was real heavy this. Oh boy. Nobody Steven gave you a concussion boy. And like bro, you make a play. All right, back up. So you was one of them dudes looking away from where double A at No facts. I’m a modest I’m a I get I get hype but I try not to be knocking people over. If you can have any superpower, what would it be? Uh teleport. Oh, I like that. Yeah, I always go with teleport cuz I love to travel. Yeah. And um so pop up in France. So if I can just pop up in France, you know what I’m saying? South of France. I did that maybe what was it a year year and a half year or two ago pop up on them Madden meetings when they be giving like all them numbers out7s and 60s I should be 99 on everything facts I ain’t I done tapped out even caring about what man do to me at this point I mean they ain’t even got my my face right I’m like and I’ve been this 11 year 11 you know they put somebody else face up for grading it just don’t it’s never right you know what I’m saying like nothing ever right the the numbers always off and I ain’t even talking about her it’s just they just be throwing something on there for me So, I just I don’t even let it hurt my fitness no more. What’s one thing you going to miss about the locker room when it’s all said and done? Uh, just the brotherhood, man. Just the brotherhood. I think that that’s what everybody say, but it’s so real because once you leave that locker room, it’s hard to duplicate that feeling. You know what I’m saying? So, um, just really this really my first experience being on a new team, leaving a place I was comfortable in to come to a new place. And, uh, you know, you miss the memories there, but I’m also excited for my new memories here. You know what I’m saying? But I’m grateful because I get another opportunity, you know what I’m saying, to be around guys, compete and stuff. And some people never get that opportunity, man. So, just cherishing it. Every day I can, especially as I get older in this game. I want to continue to play for years. I got to, you know, just cherish that. Exactly, man. Man, these are great answers, man, from a true vet. Like, y’all here, you don’t take nothing for granted. Yes, sir. 6 feet. Sixfooter making it happen. He said we couldn’t do it. We out here. We out here. Let’s go. Six foot 10. Yes, sir. They said we could make one. We out here for the 10, baby.
