Transcript

00:00How's the transition into California?

00:02It's been great.

00:03You know, the strength staffs did a great job of getting me ready,

00:06and all the coaches did a really good job of just making me feel like family

00:09and welcoming me real fast.

00:11So, you know, California is great.

00:12You can't beat L.A., so it's been great here.

00:14Coach Riley said you're a really steady guy.

00:17It's like you've been here a while.

00:18How would you describe your presence on the field?

00:20You know, I'm just trying to be as vocal as I can my first few weeks here,

00:23so I'm just trying to make the guys feel that, you know,

00:26I know what I'm doing and I should be out there with them.

00:28And the coaches did a really good job of preparing me,

00:30making me feel comfortable enough on the field to do that.

00:34What have you seen from the younger guys in the secondary since you've come in?

00:37Obviously, as a leader, new to this program,

00:39but, you know, you've been around the game for a long time.

00:41What do you see from some of the younger guys in the secondary?

00:43Yeah, a lot of the younger guys, they want it.

00:45Like, they're hungry to come in and play and come in and learn,

00:48and I think that's the most important thing, just coming in, willing to learn,

00:50knowing you might not play your first year

00:51and willing to take advice from the older guys.

00:54So they did a really good job of that so far,

00:55and they've been doing a really good job.

00:58Okay, so let's see.
