00:00 >> What have those battles been like and
00:01 what would you describe the back and forth?
00:04 >> It's been great.
00:05 Iron Trap and I, we had a good little one on one.
00:07 He caught some crazy stuff down there.
00:08 Don't know how he caught it, but it's great.
00:11 We always gonna talk handed, but we're teammates.
00:13 At the end of the day, we just working.
00:14 We just working.
00:15 >> How hard is it to keep your cool in those one on ones?
00:19 >> It's not too hard cuz at the end of the day, we know we're teammates, but
00:21 we want the best out of each other.
00:22 So we're gonna talk, we're gonna do a little extra here and there, but
00:24 it's never gonna get past that point.
00:26 Like Coach said, we know we're a professional team, not an MMA team.
00:29 So we just gonna keep it like that.
00:30 >> Do you get a little bit hungrier when those videos are kind of the ones
00:34 popping up on Twitter or X right now?
00:36 >> I don't even try to be on X right now.
00:37 You got people never played football telling me how to play football, so
00:42 I try to stay off it as much as possible.
00:44 >> Does going kind of a little bit viral make you a little bit hungrier though,
00:48 when it goes one on ones?
00:50 >> Definitely, I'm always hungry to get better, to get my wins.
00:54 He got it today, tomorrow I'm gonna try to get mine.
00:56 And if it don't, I'm gonna keep going until I get mine.
00:58 And that's how I roll.
00:59 >> How much fun is just the level of intensity that you guys have brought
01:03 today?
01:04 >> I mean, it's fun.
01:05 Everybody was excited for those one on ones that we did.
01:07 And that really gets me going.
01:09 I love talking, I love that atmosphere.
01:11 It's football at the end of the day.
01:12 I've been playing this game since I was a kid.
01:13 So now I get to do it on a bigger stage.
01:15 >> How does he catch the George made?
01:17 Obviously one handed grab, he made a similar one last season as a cornerback.
01:21 What do you kind of tell yourself after a play when a receiver makes a catch like
01:24 that?
01:24 >> Next play, that's all you can say, next play.
01:27 I mean, he got a crazy catch.
01:29 That's what he do for a living.
01:30 I feel like I got him at the line.
01:32 It was perfect for him on my part.
01:33 But you got a free guy that you're going against.
01:36 You gotta expect those kind of plays to happen.
01:38 You just gotta brush it off, next play mentality.
01:40 >> Is it a legit catch or did he get away with a little something?
01:43 >> I don't even know, I haven't watched the film.
01:44 I just felt bro on my shoulder.
01:46 I'm like, where'd the ball go?
01:47 And then he came down with it.
01:48 So it was crazy, definitely crazy.
