plan yeah so whenever new guys come to look at the program like what do you tell them I just I tell them honestly I'm like yo if you come in here to lock in like strictly on football that's your best like place to come do on especially on the west coast like it's not a big party town like what you see with you with you jeans what you going to get like it's just football 24/7 so if that's your main focus and you're really about getting that then this is where you come but if you trying to do other college stuff then I wouldn't advise you come here because you're not going to get get it so so if you want to be the best football player you can be yeah this is the place to be no real talk there's no distractions out here like it's literally like the nearest distraction Portland is like 2 hours away and you ain't and that's they back that's 4 hours and that's about a tank and a half of gas I ain't I'm I'm not going to be the one that's like take that drive you know on regular so that's why I just tell recruits they come here and then you know they kind of weed themselves out and go from there what's what's it what's a day like for you with training and everything like what for me

become close as a team so like one day we have like Usman in the room and he talking about different goals we want to go over but we talking real about it it's never like we too loose or we playing around it's a real serious conversation cuz some teammates you in there you don't know what he's going through so you got to listen to what he's saying and then next thing you know like you know that about that person and now you know how to coach him or talk to him encourage him what what is your professional goal my professional goal yeah to get to the NFL yeah that's my professional goal and then when I'm done be an actor in that order yeah like a Hollywood actor like comedy actor like comedy though cuz I'm I'm a goofy person Who do you like in comedy like who do you who do you like in comedy that you think cuz you're not going to be anybody else but you're like I'm inspired by what they do on screen to be honest Kevin Hart like if you watch Kevin Hart and work he does is it's pretty amazing what he does like he can turn to switch but that's his normal self like his noral you don't have to tell him too much like Hey Kevin we need you to do this he just knows to do it cuz he's naturally fny then you got Mike EPs and some more guys that I just love and then but I'm also a big action guy but I know I can't be no action star I may can why can't you be an action you do you do action for like a living right now like your cre but I get it though no but I get it though I wouldn't want to go from action to more action yeah like you can't Ryan Reynolds can do both he can be funny and and he can also be a superhero you know there are those guys that I think the one thing that you can't do is limit yourself because then you're limited if you limit yourself you're limited I think you could do both of you want to do both be you be funny while whooping somebody's butt han han was yeah Hancock was I liked Hancock I know a lot of people didn't like hanock I like hanock H was a good movie shorty was on the moon though Eagle shorty drew a heart on the morning go take it to the moall you feel me had a eagle and everything on there it's funny we went straight to your your [Music] post NFL career uh what are you able to forget quick on the field yeah you have to mandatory right it's mandatory for you to forget a bad play it cannot stick with you the whole game or you going to have it going to stack on top of each other you ever have one of those that was real bad and they went real good the next play right after that yeah that you can think of like a specific example specific um all right it's not necessarily wasn't on the field I forgot the to the whole play USC I forgot the whole play that's what I was thinking m game I thinking that too I when he said that I was like I bet you going to talk about the touch feel like but that's the only play I really remember cuz I know I messed up like he he checked the play and I totally forgot what he checked like I didn't know the play but I knew the play but when he gave a signal I'm like I don't know what that is I looked to the left Troy gave me the signal and and I was like I don't know what that is do you say that or you just think that no he know the look I gave him like bro you better say something I'm going to just do something by myself like do you remember him being confused I don't remember that but he don't he don't look at me I see him before he see me yeah but I could tell I I going to say I can tell but soon as he said like next play he did something crazy I was like I bet you going to talk about the USC already yeah it's the only one I remember and my coach know that I forgot to play it happened to me a couple times this season like last last season like it was like he gave a play and I'm like I know I studied but what is that like but as soon as he yell it it's like already know I knew what that was but it's just stuff like because you thinking of so much stuff like you got your pre- snap re and you like all right this linebacker come over here like I got to run around him he like shorty big if anything all right now if Bo check this play right here I got to see if I got to get over to the other hash or something like that like it's it's so much ties into the the actual play you going to run and then when they check a play and you don't even think of that you thinking of something else it gets you if you're running a slam and the What are your goals professionally linebacker is right at that seven yard or that 5 yard Mark will you will you run the slant shorter or deeper I got to run through it like my coach tell us to run through it oh man but that quarterback better know like don't throw it don't throw it cuz I I'm nah not too big on taking the hits part uh what are your goals professionally uh Hall of Fame easily yeah so um it's just this part of the road to get up there you know what I'm saying and uh five years kind of been it's been a long road just getting to this point but it's a journey I wouldn't like change for the world um and then obviously just capping this season off how we want to go out and then obviously when I get to the league I worry about those goals when I get there but like for the foreseeable future Hall of Fame and then I don't know I got a bunch of different things I didn't talked about doing like I didn't talked about doing entertainment once or twice kind of the same acting stuff um cuz I seen Shaq dud before um sha H that's what I'm saying so like but you don't see too many guys like like his caliber like big guy and he's also funny too getting that like getting that World um so I thought about that too um I thought about entrepreneurship being a business owner um so I don't know what I really would lock in on I can see myself doing some on camera stuff too like um like I could do a bunch of everything so kind of figuring out which path I want to take um but like I said I kind of worry about that when I get there but how big are you uh 63 yeah you a seen his back you SE shorty back shorty got the biggest back on the what do you mean back like when they talk about like the whole big back stuff they that's what they referring to me as TW look back let me tell you something but it ain't like but but it ain't like chubby now like I ain't got that little Pillsbury doboy like spilling out my my stuff now no one claimed you did for the record I CL put it on himself all right bro but that's the thing that you that's what people are referring to Big Mark think he a skill guy cuz I am he think he a skill guy I'm aete I just you don't think but you don't think he's a skill guy it sounds like about I don't think he he's he see he the thing see that's the thing he trying to box me I'm right here check me out he dressed like a skill guy though he dressed like a skill guy he got probably on the o line he got the best drip on the o line so I can give him that far as like dressing he dressed as a skill but not a skill there's a claim that he's not like Pillsbury Doughboy on his back though what are your thoughts on that no he that's what I'm saying no pillsberry [Laughter] cookie I ain't got that spillage n I ain't got that oo coming my that big that big Ste now that big sha right there I ain't got that ooe coming up my back like that n could do it during the season are you guys always sore like what's the body like right now that always right now we can cuss yeah yeah you can hell yeah [ __ ] no yeah we' be sore but it's one of things like it's one of those like how I go into the season especially me like I know bare minimum like at the low end I'm going have to play like 13 games so you already just kind of mentally prepare yourself okay around like week you try to make sure you hit that wall uh you don't crash out so early in the season like when I first started playing like my sophomore year hit that wall week four knew UCLA I'm like dog like we was on uh prime time TV or whatever little we was on that so I'm like bro I said this week four how I'm going to get to like week like 12 but as you get playing you kind of understand like how to take care of body so now like I hit the wall but I already know like how to respond to it and then you kind of just just make sure you just eating right that's really what it is to be for me yeah it's really it's really a lot of sleep in what you eat before night before and like hydr like all those things TI into it when I see his was kind of different from mine he hit his he was here I transferred and hit a fall Camp here and was thinking like oh yeah this is how we play games bro this how hard we practice like I'm thinking like I don't think I'm make it yeah I'm telling myself I'm not going to make it bro like in the first game came you you're not 100% but you're 100% you feel me and then it's like you go out there and dominate we put up 89 we 81 something like that first game last year okay then yeah with the with the wall okay you guys obviously both want to go to the league I mean that's 17 games well which is cool now yeah cuz it's like okay that's already giving you like a glimpse of where the NFL kind of schedu is like so now I don't know how you go about it but for me I'm like I'm already start tailoring like my schedule to how I want to be at the next level so that way when I get there it's just copy and paste it's not nothing obviously it's going to be a little more tweets cuz I'm I'm going to be a true professional but like the same like base level regimen stuff that's going to be the same for me uh final two questions have you guys looked at yourself on NCAA yeah have I I just got he had no choice but to look at himself I just got the game thoughts thoughts on where they had you are are you just just right cuz Dyan Dylan was like my jumping was not good and my speed was not good but you got to think Dylan 5'4 you can't really you you can't really much jumping is not really too much you know what I'm saying he got 99 awareness Shorty Be slinging that pill on that that game he be slinging it though real life yeah what you see him today shorty I wasn't out there I was too bu I was too busy lifting 225 225 yeah I like that I like that that's I'm saying I just you didn't hear about that yeah we thought word was circulating around campus no no
