And now all of a sudden, so when you see cover zero, cover one, and you know Pat's going to throw it 25 yards from you, what about that and
17:52
figuring out how to make that play? That was really like a routine play.
17:57
Like we were in that play so much, you know, in the spring and training camp and, and repping that practice during the week.
18:03
So we kind of knew like the different looks we was going to get, you know, so like depending on the look, it changed the angle of my route, but Once I stuck and I seen the trajectory of the ball come out of Pat's hand, I knew like it was like my, like how fast I was running was right on time and like how he threw the ball was right on time.
18:20
It was just perfect timing.
18:21
So I kind of knew how I was going to track it the whole time, knowing that I was going to catch it in this type of way.
18:26
And the defender was trying to chase me down the middle of the field, but he was a linebacker.
18:51
Can you tell us a little bit about your journey and how you earned where you are now with us?
6:12
But then what happened because the Dolphins kind of made things
6:14
tough? I feel like it was really just us, you know, just making little slight mental mistakes, you know, but not playing clean football.
6:23
But, I mean, we kind of got back to it, you know, trying to play some clean football.
6:26
O-line got going, and we was able to finish the right way.
6:29
You guys have done
6:34
What about that as a point of emphasis for you as a wide
6:36
receiver core? It's definitely important going out there blocking.
6:40
I was just blocking on the DB, and Kenneth Walker busts us out.

How was that experience for you? Man,
1:01
it was very fun.
1:01
You got a lot of great athletes that come out of Miami, you know.
1:05
No matter what team you play, you're going to get somebody that got some great talent.
1:09
And there's a lot of talent coming out of Miami, man, especially now.
1:12
You got a lot of younger athletes that's more evolved, more equipped, and they just learn.
1:17
And in Miami, you learn from your peers.

23:08
But, you know.
24:16
Yeah.
24:16

I still showed up every day and worked, you know what I'm saying? Coming out there, doing what I do, going out there, making plays and, um, with the opportunities that I got, but, you know.
24:22
Yeah, [laughs] he going vertical.
24:23
Like, every time you turn on the clip, he's going vertical, you know? And that's why, like, you know, when we go in, in training camp and stuff like that, and when we doing one-on-ones, you see me out there, I'm never going deep.
39:25
Right.
39:25
I still showed up every day and worked, you know what I'm saying? Coming out there, doing what I do, going out there, making plays, and, um, with the opportunities that I got, but, you know.
