Speaker 1 (00:00):
Shaday, Welcome to Denver. I talked to you a little
bit last night when when you got the call from
the Broncos and they said, hey, listen, you're going to
be our first round draft choice. What two or three
thoughts immediately popped into your mind?
Speaker 2 (00:13):
It was all worth it. Every investment that I did,
all the things that all the places that my mom
took me to go train, taking me from boxing to
basketball to track practice, the football practice, it was all
worth it, and it was all for her. I allowed
her to invite anybody she wanted to yesterday, so you've
seen a lot of people back there, and it was
her day and I wanted her to enjoy that. My mom,
(00:36):
she meant everything to me. So when they told me that,
I knew I could change my mom's life forever.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
You know, you played a lot of positions at UT
and I want to ask you, Obviously the club will decide,
but where do you see yourself in terms of an
NFL secondary guy.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Honestly, you know they're smarter than me. They're going to
put me just like where the staff at Texas. They
put me to benefit the team, to benefit myself and ultimately,
but to benefit the team. So I know this staff here,
They're going to put me where needed, wherever they put me.
I'm a master that and I'm gonna work on that craft.
I'm gonna do what I need to do and own
my role for the team.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
So when you were in high school, you had to
play some offense? Right, where did you play?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
I played receiver?
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Okay, all right, No running back, So.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I was running back up to tenth grade. My whole
life of start playing defensive back until I was tenth grade.
My first first time I started playing safety tenth grade,
going into tenth grade.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Wow, I was at your press conference here a little
bit earlier today. It seemed like you've got a real
sort of calm demeanor to you, And I want to
ask you where does that come from?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
Yeah? Again, my confidence, but my confidence is getting just
understanding who I'm gloing. Fine, I'm not. I won't be
stressed out there. I don't go out there scared. I
don't go out there worrying. I give all my worries
to him. I'm I have my pastor come the other
day for the draft, and he talked about being a lion.
You know, a lion and someone's tough, he's going to
give you everything he has, and it's a time where
(02:05):
a lion rests. When you rest, Yesterday was I can't
do anything, I can't control anything. I already did the
things I can control. I controlled the controllables, and it
got me to the point where I was at yesterday.
And that was God yesterday. You know that all that
was God yesterday, him placing me to his position where
he most believed and he knew I was fit for.
(02:26):
And that was all him. He orchestrated that. He put
me here with Broncos Country. It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
I think that that's an awesome answer of last couple.
When you when you you know, when you're in college,
it's it's it's it's like a business, it's work. You're
worried about the next opponent. You're watching film. Did you
ever find yourself being able to watch, like extensively watch
NFL games, and if so, who did you enjoy watching.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
I watched a lot of guys again, I watched PS two. Uh.
You know, you know my coach, he watched NFL tape
all day. He'll tell me the things that he was doing,
a lot of great things that he was doing. So
always watching him and stuff like that. I'm real good
friends with PJ. I worked out with him. I met PJ.
Lock when I was in tenth grade.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, I was in tenth grade and working out with
his uncle. We're working at Houston. I'm literally like doing
condition to sprints with with PJ. Lock. I was in
tenth grade. So I got to see him today and
it was just exciting and exciting feeling. You know. Those
are the guys that I looked up to when I
was when I was a little kid, when I was
in high school and things like that, and they were
playing at UT I always wanted to put on the
burn orange after them. So it's just fun that I
(03:29):
get to put on another orange.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So yeah, absolutely, I'll get you out of here on
this Give for for Broncos fans, and we have a
lot of them that listen to this show. Give me
two or three things that you bring to this club
that maybe people might not know and until they see it.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
I think my connectivity, you know, I connect very well.
I respect everybody. I treat everybody the saying from the
janitor to the president, and that's big. That's how my
mom raised me to always give the utmost respect and
you will see the utmost respect and that'll take you
further than football. So I think that's big. And then two,
just my love, my love for the game. But I
won't even say his love for the game. It's just
(04:08):
understanding that I'm going and find God. I would I can't.
I wouldn't be here without him. I'm not a fool,
it says, don't be a full You still have to
work for the things. But at the end of the day,
God's gifted me with disability, and then with disability to
go out there and do things that I do. God's
gifted everybody with the ability. He's gifted you with the
ability to be able to to do what you're doing today,
(04:29):
and it's our job to do the best we can
to the fullest. But at the end of the day,
he did gift us with this ability. And then three,
just just my want to the essence, you know, me
staying committed to what I said I'll do long after
the mood has changed. So I know it'll be rough days,
it'll be tough days, and it'll be hard days and
things like that. But if I can just keep my
keep keep my mind focused and just understanding miss a
(04:51):
long term goal, but just staying committed to the process.
You know, the process, It'll be the result the process.
What you put in, you're gonna get. What you put
in it come out. So just always just keep grining
