Mason Tipton on making the 53-man roster | New Orleans Saints

amazing first congratulations I guess just your thoughts on making the roster uh bless I mean you know obviously missing three preseason games um it was tough on me um just cuz I wanted to be out there and get back out there and play especially for my teammates um but you know God is good man so you know really I'm just blessed I'm happy to be back happy to be healthy so you know now it's really time to go what does that say to you that you were able to miss the three preseason games about what you were able to put on on film during practice um man it says I'm blessed I mean I'm blessed man you know I feel like it's kind of rare um so you know I can only I can only thank God man cuz you know not being able to play obviously like I said it it was tough but you I'm back now so team goes a little bit deep at receiver what do you feel like you add to the receiving call um speed explosiveness um you know the last time I think I spoke um you know I think the biggest thing is that I'm not just a speed guy I can run every route in the book so um you know I just kind of add that aspect of explosiveness downfield speed but also um you know I can run rout so what was uh was Tuesday like for you just kind of waiting around to to figure out if you had made it or um probably like you expect you know um but I was praying uh yeah I mean it it was a roller coaster of emotions but um you know when I when I knew you know what the deal was obviously it was just you know a lot of a lot of gratefulness a lot of prayers um so what do you much of an EXL is it I mean you come in as undrafted you know rookie you're trying to make a name for yourself and it's an uphill battle obviously for you believe in yourself but you still a long road ahead no doubt um I mean yeah I I understand I understood the circumstances um but you know I'm I'm a confident person um and I feel like I bring something to the team that that you know is a value so um you know I was just committed to showing the staff showing my teammates that I can help them win that was that was like my first and foremost goal is proving it to everybody else
