Did you think baseball was gonna be your sport that got you to the professional level?

[lips smack] Yeah, you know, my parents...

It was just three sports year-round.

You know, I was always just...

And that's why I even tell the younger generation of, of the athletes, you know, "Dude, do as much as you can." You know, as I look back and, you know, me playing baseball, I do believe helped my, um, my ability to track the ball in the air.

You know, I played in the outfield.

Um, I was a really good baseball player.

Sure

That's the very short version of it, but, uh, just grateful for, for Jordan and, and yeah, to call him a, a good friend and a brother.

Yeah, absolutely.

No, thanks for, thanks for sharing, Chris.

And I, I th- I think it was more than a year ago, bro, um, that I think it was maybe, like, two years ago that we c- I remember connecting before I went to Miami via, on, you know, social media, um, about the breathwork.

I think it was kinda when you realized I was doing some of the Beats and Breath practices, and we kinda had reached out with each other, and I think I may have tagged Beats and Breath in one of my stories.

And, um, yeah, you know, I, I started, kind of backtracking a little bit.

I found Beats and Breath in 2020, going into my All-Pro season.

And th- this is something [chuckles] that just helps in a million ways.

Mm-hmm.

And so understanding...

I think that transition is understanding your purpose, uh, or having a purpose, right? Like, what is your purpose for being here on this planet? Like, where- why did God bring you here? And for me, I, I just believe it's to be a light, man.

To be a, to be a light in this world, to shine, to...

And, and I, I don't pretend to sit here and know everything about everything, but I know enough about enough to understand, like, you know, there, there's more to this than, than, than what we see on our day-to-day basis, you know? And when we go inward, when we dive within, when we, when we look within, when we look within ourselves-

Mm-hmm

... we can understand ourselves and understand and be aware of the daily decisions that we make, and the, and those decisions and the consequences that come from those decisions.

And, you know, it's just...

Mm-hmm.

It's the same thing, like, you know, four...

Were you shocked that McDermott got fired.

Yeah I was.

I was man I love Sean you know and I just a spin in going there in 2017 going there same time Sean and building that program to what it was you know it was tough to tough pill to swallow and Do I agree with it.

It doesn't really matter at the same time.

You know I love Sean and what he was able to do so much respect for him his family.

He was my neighbor this last year.

You know and so I was able to go hang out with him and see him on more of a personal level.

What do you got going on with them? Yeah,

Mm-hmm.

Right

...

in the building, you know, h- being himself.

Uh, he unders- he understands, he understands his, his aura, right? He understands who he is, and, uh, it's the best quarterback in the league in my opinion, and he'll be the best quarterback in the league until he's done playing in my opinion.

Mm-hmm.

What is it about that bye week and what Sean does to get you guys on this, on these hot runs every year?

Yeah, you know, we have a, a really good coaching staff here who, who takes pride in, in making the adjustments and, and, you know, we...

That, that, that week isn't necessarily just a, a break off, right? Um, you know, there's a lot of guys that stay here throughout the bye to continue to try to work on their bodies, to study the film, you know, with the coaches and, you know, we even came back a day, day earlier.

You know, tackling was a huge emphasis, um, in the loss against Atlanta before the bye.

Um, so we came in, we...

Everybody had to report, uh, on Monday.

We were in full pads on Monday and, you know, we were, we were hitting.

But that mindset of just being able to say, "Yeah, I'm cool with whatever," after accomplishing so much and being all pro po, how is that kind of mindset as you address it?
