WHAT ROLE WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY AND IS SPECIAL TEAMS PART OF THAT ROLE TO? YEAH, 100%. SPECIAL TEAMS. I MEAN, ANY BLOCKING TIGHT END ANY TIGHT END THREE. YOU KNOW THAT’S GOING TO BE A BIG PART OF YOUR ROLE. BUT AS FAR AS WHAT GETS ME EXCITED, I LOVE BEING PHYSICAL, I LOVE BLOCKING. IT’S KIND OF WHAT I’VE GROWN UP DOING, WHAT I’VE GROWN UP LOVING. SO THAT’S HOW I ENVISION MYSELF HELPING THE TEAM MOST. THAT AND ALSO TRYING TO BE A PHYSICAL PRESENCE ON SPECIAL TEAMS AND DOING WHAT I CAN THERE AS WELL. IT’S GOOD TO PLAY. CALLED. THAT STATEMENT WAS BACKED UP BY CHARGERS HEAD COACH JIM HARBAUGH. WHEN I ASKED HIM WHAT ROLE HE THOUGHT TUCKER COULD PLAY FOR HIS CHARGERS. LIKE HIM AS A BLOCKER, I MEAN, HE IS A TREMENDOUS BLOCKER. YOU KNOW, DARE I SAY ONE OF THE TOP, YOU KNOW, TOP FIVE, MAYBE TOP AT THAT POSITION. AND IN THE NFL. AND LOOKING FOR HIM TO YOU KNOW NOW YEAR YEAR TWO EVEN EVEN MAKE A MAKE A HIGHER JUMP.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE, LIKE ALL OF YOUR LIMBS ARE I GUESS IN SPACE. SO I THINK THAT PROBABLY APPLIES TO SOME EXTENT. AND AS FAR AS PRESSURE TO MAKE THE OPENING DAY ROSTER, TUCKER’S MINDSET IS TO GIVE EVERYTHING HE’S GOT DURING EVERY PLAY. I CAME INTO THE LEAGUE ON PRETTY LIKE TENUOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. I WAS A TRYOUT GUY, SO FOR ME, IT’S JUST EVERY DAY IS A BLESSING. EVERY DAY YOU JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN, WORK, DO WHAT YOU CAN DO, CONTROL THE CONTROLLABLES, WHICH IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE.
