Chris Neptune joined the Auburn Tigers this offseason with new head coach Alex Golesh, and he's not striving for good. He wants more.
Transcript
00:02You've obviously played under Golish a lot.
00:04What are some things that your teammates haven't played for him?
00:08What should they expect from him?
00:09What have they seen out of him for spring so far?
00:11The thing about Coach Golish is not only is he a good coach, he's a great man.
00:16So he's going to, every day you come in the building,
00:18he's going to push you to strive for excellence.
00:21And we use the word elite around here.
00:23We don't strive for good days or great days.
00:26We want every day to be elite.
00:27So that's what you're going to get out of it.
00:31People, I'll be thinking about it, if you haven't watched you as much,
00:34how would you describe, you know, just how to play as a receiver,
00:37you know, where you fit in the sides?
00:39Yes, sir.
00:39I would say I'm a combo receiver.
00:41I can play any position.
00:43I know the offense inside and out,
00:45which is what I'm trying to do with the young guys,
00:47just help them learn the offense, build their confidence.
00:50And really, I'm trying to show my explosiveness,
00:55whether it's short catches, going for touchdowns, or down the field.
01:00Just jack of all trades, for sure.
01:02What's the competition been like in the wide receiver room so far this spring?
01:05It feels like there's a lot of guys meeting at a high level.
01:08You know, where do you see yourself in that competition?
01:11Competition, I mean, every day is an interview,
01:13is what we say in the receiver room.
01:15So no matter who we're going against, whether it's our teammates or, you know,
01:21practicing for opponents, we're here every day putting in work.
01:25So competition is great.
01:27You know, coming in a bigger division, we're ready for that.
01:31And we're showing that every day in the meetings, at practice,
01:34and just trying to connect as a group, as a whole.
01:38This offense, obviously, when you talk about, you know,
01:41how does this offense, you know, what makes it so good at, you know,
01:46creating explosive plays when you're pretty guys like yourself
01:48and some of the receivers, given the moment you're seeing here?
01:51Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
01:52So, you know, we talk about our tempo a lot.
01:54We are a really fast tempo team.
01:56So that just gives us an advantage.
01:58And in order to go fast, you need to know your plays.
02:00So a lot of us are here all day in the facility, just in our playbooks,
02:04trying to learn, trying to connect as a group so we can play fast
02:07and give us an advantage.
02:09Auburn has had a thousand.
