How dope has it been to build that relationship with Terry? And what are some of those things that have stood out to you from all the different advice he's given you?

Yeah, like, you know, being around Terry's been really cool because sometimes I don't even have to ask him a question and he's trying to give me little gems here and there.

And that's what I love, you know, just coming up to me, hey, what I just did here, this and that.

What do you think? You know, just trying to...

Pick his brain, things like that.

It's been really cool just learning to grow from that.

He's been telling me just use my speed.

Who's been a game changer in Jalen Lane's life?

Mm.

A lot of great people, a lot of great guys around.

Like, um, just being around Terry, for one, has been huge for me, just his leadership, um, has really just shown through.

I learned a lot of stuff.

A faith-based guy, so, you know, I've been growing in my faith as well, just being around him.

And, um, so I, like I said, I feel like I've been placed in a blessed situation.

And, um, also I got a lot of burn at receiver last year due to injury, things like that, so I feel like that helped me grow, kind of establish what I need to work on going into this year and things like that.

What is it like balancing those roles, right? Like, focusing on that return game, but also saying, "Hey, I wanna develop and get better as a receiver"?

What's it like in the receiver room when there's an addition with the high profile of Steph Diggs?

Honestly, it w- I feel like it was great just because of one, the guy he is.

You know, he's coming in as a veteran, but you know, he's not some type of arrogant dude or so and so, you know, he's coming in with the knowledge he's trying to give it to everybody.

Like fir- day one, he's coming to me talking to me like, "Hey, this is what I'm seeing," so and so, and he doesn't even know the playbook yet, but he knows the routes.

He understands concepts.

[laughs]

Uh, you know, he's real shifty.

I love the way he runs his routes.

What's it like in the receiver room when there's an addition with the highest profile of Steph Diggs?

Honestly, I feel like it was great just because, one, the guy he is, he's coming in as a veteran, but he's not some type of arrogant dude or so-and-so.

He's coming in with the knowledge he's trying to give to everybody.

Day one, he's coming to me, talking to me like, hey, this is what I'm seeing, so-and-so, and he doesn't even know the playbook yet, but he knows the routes.

He understands concepts, so it's cool to have another vet guy along with Terry like that in the room.

I'm curious if DQ, like, addressed you guys this morning or how you guys all found out.

He actually addressed us in the walkthrough.

That Saturday, Saturday afternoon, kind of told us what the situation was.

[upbeat music]

Me personally, it's a lot different.

I feel like, you know, as a rookie, I'm coming in, you know, a lot of nerves, a lot of like, oh, how am I gonna make things shake? But now it's more of a how am I gonna get better every day? And just approaching every day with that type of mindset has been helpful.

Is there one thing you've already noticed a difference in yourself as a receiver?

Yeah, you know, I said, um, my footwork in and out of breaks and my conditioning.

Um, yeah, I feel like my routes, um, like at the end of practice have been feeling the same as they were at the beginning of practice and, and that's a, that's a big deal for me, so I can continue to grow that.
