Video Transcript

A couple of days ago, Trey Tucker said about the receiving room that you don't want a receiver room where everybody is really good at the same stuff.

You want it to be a big variety of guys.

So you coming into this room, what do you think is the thing that separates you or the thing that you do differently compared to the rest of the room that compliments?

Um, I, I feel like, I, I'm, I'm a total complete receiver, you know, I can do, do things on the outside, do things on the inside , run game pass, you know.

I feel like I can, I can do it all.

I can run the whole route tree, things like that.

So it's just a matter of me being, being a leader of the room and just try to bring as many guys along with me as possible, you know, I, I think I've been doing that a little bit, but I could definitely do way better, um.

Um, he get to where you want to be as a receiver.

You mentioned the team as a whole wanted to do well in the receiver room, but especially coming to a new team for yourself, are you seeing this as a big opportunity?

Trying to make a name for yourself and your team, uh, I mean, I'm, I'm not looking at it as like I, I'm trying to make the best opportunity for myself, you know, I'm, I'm here for the team, you know, I wanna, I wanna win games.

I wanna win a Super Bowl, so it, it's, it's a matter of just, just doing what I gotta do when, when the play is called and just.

Make plays when when when they're called upon upon me and um just have have that confidence in the guys, you know, if guys dropping balls and things like that, just be there to pick them up and just be, be, be a leader, man, just try to be a role model to you guys.

What was it like having um Going back to doing what's best for the team, it seems like everybody in different rooms has that same mentality.

How important is that considering there are a lot of new, uh, newer veterans on this team, a lot of young guys as well to have that so early on?

Uh, it's, it's very important because it's a team sport, so you can't go out there thinking like, oh, I gotta do this, I gotta do that.

It's more so what do we got to do as a team to.

Get this play done and uh move in a positive direction.

Just, just keep, keep that type of mindset going.

Just always thinking positive on what, what we can do better.

What was it like having, uh, the fans out here today?

Just, just the hype that they brought?

I love it.

I, I love when fans are at practice, you know, just to have that kind of that, that energy, you know.

I feel like, uh, football players, we feed off that energy from the fans.

Just having them out there, man.

It's just, it's just a blast just to see, see them in there and just rooting us on, even though it's a practice.
