00:00 >> 100% ready to roll or pumpless or ramp up style?
00:04 >> No, ready to go, ready to go.
00:06 Thanks, man.
00:07 >> You won't have to start on the pump or anything, Jason?
00:09 >> No.
00:10 >> How were you injured?
00:12 >> I don't want to talk about the injury or whatever.
00:16 What matters is I'm here.
00:18 I'm 100% ready to go.
00:20 I'm just focused on being here ready for the season.
00:23 >> How bad was it?
00:24 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:27 >> Weird.
00:28 >> I'm focused on the season.
00:30 I'm ready to go, I'm 100%.
00:31 >> Do you feel like you were able to take a lot of good mental reps though,
00:35 during OTAs to be prepared for it?
00:37 >> Yeah, for sure.
00:38 Obviously, with new staff, new system, I was still able to watch the DBs out there
00:43 running around and still get better even though I was just sidelined during the time.
00:48 So I'm definitely ready to pick it back up.
00:50 >> That gave other guys an opportunity to step up.
00:52 Stanley Thomas Oliver kind of moved all around.
00:54 What did you see from him during the spring?
00:57 >> He made a lot of plays.
00:59 All the corners, everybody was just seeing a major jump in their level of play with
01:04 his new staff, just learning the whole right, more stuff, different stuff.
01:09 He's getting better every day.
01:10 >> What's it like playing for Jonathan?
01:12 >> It's cool, it's cool.
01:13 He's a young guy, got a lot of swag to him.
01:16 So brings a lot of energy to the room.
01:19 That's what you need at DB specifically.
01:21 So it's been fun.
01:23 >> Jason, you know, it's on the other side of the ball, but
01:26 just having a number one pick coming in here, Bryce Young.
01:29 Do you feel like a certain different level of excitement coming in the center?
01:34 >> Yeah, yeah, number one pick, a new coach, like I said,
01:38 he's learning a whole bunch of different things.
01:42 And yeah, Bryce was great in OTAs.
01:44 So I'm excited to get out here and work with him and
01:48 hopefully pick him up once or twice.
01:50 But yeah, I definitely can't wait to work with him.
01:52 >> You didn't like your Madden rating.
01:54 You tweeted about it.
01:56 I mean, do you feel a little disrespected by that?
01:58 What went behind that?
02:00 >> Yeah, most of the ratings like the top cornerbacks and stuff,
02:04 all that stuff bothered me.
02:05 But anybody that know me know like I play Madden all day.
02:08 I'm a real Madden head.
02:09 So it bothered me a little bit that I was that low.
02:12 But I posted a video and they DMed me about it and I told them,
02:16 there's no pressure, I just go out there and earn it.
02:19 >> Jason, you had a pre-season relationship with Raejean Wright.
02:23 How has that relationship kind of grown since you guys have become teammates?
02:27 I know you said you kind of factored into him signing here.
02:30 What went into that decision?
02:31 What was the conversation like?
02:34 >> I actually watched him on Last Chance Youth when I was in college.
02:37 And I told my roommate at the time, I'm like, he's gonna be in the league.
02:41 He's gonna be complete.
02:42 And my best friend ended up getting drafted to Dallas.
02:45 And his older brother got drafted to Dallas and they were real close.
02:49 So it's kind of just keeping it all in the family.
02:51 So when he told me he was coming to Carolina, I was definitely excited.
02:54 I'm ready for him to be here.
02:56 >> JC, you talked about your old dad.
