Transcript

00:00What was your biggest goal this offseason as far as training goes?

00:06Were you trying to bulk up a little bit, cut weight?

00:08I mean, what was your goal in the offseason?

00:12My goal, Coach Love did it really, really well.

00:15Good job with me.

00:15I'm blessed to have him as my strength staff coach.

00:19But really, it was more just to get faster, cut down my body fat.

00:23I did really good with that.

00:24I had PR'd my fastest speed this spring of being here.

00:28So I've been doing really well.

00:29Really, it was physically just getting my body cut down.

00:32But mentally, watching a lot of film, a lot of NFL quarterbacks, just seeing how they weigh,

00:37they just be decisive on the football field.

00:38So mentally, I've been learning a lot of concepts and physically cut down my body weight

00:42and got rid of it way faster.

00:44Right left, Matt.

00:46Will's previously said that he likes to work with the quarterbacks to kind of formulate

00:50what the offense is going to look like that season.

00:52Obviously, there's core fundamentals that you'll try to do every year.

00:55But what's that process like of being involved in the room, of trying to find what works for

01:01you guys and what works for the offense?

01:03Yeah, one thing I will say about being here with Coach Stein, I mean, I love him to death.

01:08He's played the quarterback position.

01:09He knows how it feels to be out there in the football field, how to be in the fire.

01:13So when it comes to him coaching us, he knows exactly how we're feeling.

01:15So if we're off missing a couple of receivers at practice, he knows how to get us back in rhythm,

01:20a little quick short throw, things of that nature.

01:22So just having him just to relate to us and we all relate to each other as a whole group,

01:26I mean, he's done a really good job.

01:28He's taught me a lot concept-wise, just being out there on the football field,

01:31communicating, leading.

01:33It's the way to see defense is better.

01:35But overall, he's been a great coach.

01:37I appreciate him a lot.

01:38He's pushing me every day, always telling me things I can get better at.

01:41But I love him to death.

01:42He jokes around a lot, but he's a proud dad and I appreciate him a lot.
