How do you see this matchup going?

I think it's gonna be a defensive game, man.

Uh, shout-out to my guys in New England, man.

You know, them is all my guys.

Went to war with those guys, so I'm happy that they getting to experience it.

Just tell 'em to soak it all in, man.

Enjoy it.

... and al- and the growth that you've shown?

Yes, sir

... where he set up defenders.

You run down the sideline.

You do certain things.

You, you make one defender slo- stop his feet, make the other defender, and then you throw a stiff arm at the end.

Man, I had a game, Tennessee Titans, I, I was on the sideline.

Man, the drill came to life, man.

[laughs]

So I'm not

not...

so that was the one thing.

I didn't have to adapt to that-

Yes, sir

... where he set up defenders, you run down the sideline, you do certain things.

You, you make one defender slo- stop his feet, make the other defender, and then you throw a stiff arm at the end.

Man, I had a game, Tennessee Titans, I, I was on the sideline.

[laughs]

Crazy, man.

So just life's good, man.

Like, God is good.

Um, just the mindset, my perspective has been right, you know what I'm saying? When I go through lows, when I'm go through highs, you know, just staying level.

Like, you can't never get too high.

And so any advice to anybody listening, you know, just keep your head down, work, um, and it's been special.

he been, they call you, and it just-

He then they call you, and it just-

Yeah, it was crazy.

And it was a good experience for me, and that's what I talk about, experiences.

Whether it's a bad experience, good experience, it doesn't matter what the world thinks.

It's about what I think in my mind and how I, how I take it and, and use it as fuel or let it take me down.

So I, I actually...

I used to say, like, "I'm never gonna be released, ever," but then I got released, and so I'm like, "Oh, shoot.

[upbeat jingle]

Yeah

...

when a guy came underneath the fence, and, like, it just started being a frenzy.

You see it on Twitter feed, you see it on the Instagram feed.

So we talk about it like: "Bro, do you think it really affects?" "But I don't know." And then Jerry Rice said something like, "Nah, we practiced there, won two Super Bowls." [laughing] So now we gotta fight against Jerry, but like-

That's awesome

... promoting the youth.

And then I got a foundation, man, promoting the kids, uh, helping the kids in underprivileged areas, man, just, uh, trying to get opportunity like I had with football.

Yes, sir

... where he set up defenders.

You run down the sideline, you do certain things.

You, you make one defender slo- stop his feet, make the other defender, and then you throw a stiff arm at the end.

Man, I had a game, Tennessee Titans, I, I was on the sideline.

Man, the drill came to life, man.

[laughing]

He is not a believer that having you dive and put the football out to go cross the goal line, you better not take and put that ball out.

Meetings are long.

And that's a great point.

So, like, for my story, going from San Fran to the Patriots was that.

I experienced...

I had to adjust.

I'm...

And it was like a shock- Yeah ... a whirlwind, and I'm like, "All right, bro, I need to adapt.

We've had a couple of people on there trying to ask, how much do you think Spygate played a role in that?

Yeah.

That's what I'm promoting, and, and promoting God, and, and trying to h- have people build.

So, uh, it was tough.

[clears throat] I definitely [clears throat] wish I'd be playing in the Super Bowl.

I've experienced it before, too, so he's given me that.

Mm-hmm.

Get to that point where I can make some money, but also help young guys, um, help the team.

And so I wanna be back in San Fran, but we're gonna see where it go, man, and, and my options is always open, man.

I gotta get on my ice.

I gotta say, so we got how different was the Patriots culture going from Bill Belichick to Jerod Mayo to Mike Vrabel? Man, bro, it was a whole process, bro.

But playing for Bill was incredible.

[laughs] Deebo know a little bit about- I liked it.

I ain't gonna lie, dude.

That's lit.

I loved it.

Let's get prepared.

I'm assuming you're really close with a lot of the guys on the Patriots still, but is there a part of you that's like, man, I kind of don't want to see them win? Yeah.

Yes, bro, you know the human nature.

You know, it's human nature.

Of course.

I really care for the guys, but I really try to fight against that, like, attitude and arrogance and, like, well, why me? You know, I try to keep that perspective.

Just like you asked me why I'm so happy because my perspective is right, you know.

So, of course, I have that feeling, but how much do I go against that or with that? And it can control me because it's annoying, you know what I'm saying? That's going to affect my attitude and things like that.

They get all the opportunities, and it's like you're an undrafted guy, and you're basically fighting for scraps at the end of the round.

... you're not with them? Like, the, it's a whole mind bleeper, isn't it?

Great question.

So, like, me going through ACL two years ago, coming back from injury was tough.

So seeing guys go down this year, you know, you feel for 'em, man, because it alters your life.

Like, honestly, like George Kittle right now, my guy, he, he has to ride around in a scooter, and you know, and on a, on a thing at the Pro Bowl.

You know, I love my guy.

He- his perspective is great about it, but it alters your life.

How do you get it? How do you get it, and how do you maintain it?

'Cause Brock's kinda, like, quiet, it seems like.

No, it's been...

Bro, nah, that's a great question, and we talk about handshakes all the time, bruh.

You know, there's something about handshakes that means something.

So for me, personally, in my career, I've always tried to connect with guys.

How do I learn somebody off the field? How do I understand them? And to where it grows, your relationship just grows.

So when we see each other every day, bro, I know how you operate.

... time you seen BA?
