00:00 >> Tell me, you're staying where you wanna stay.
00:02 >> I'm right here, I'm holding the mic.
00:04 >> No, you're not.
00:04 >> [INAUDIBLE] >> How's it going?
00:08 I know you guys have been practicing kind of all summer.
00:10 We've been doing stuff, so it's not like a fresh start, but
00:13 is it a little different than the first official day of camp?
00:15 >> Yeah, it was just a different energy out there today, and
00:18 I just love what this team is becoming.
00:19 >> Coach Norvell said that you expect the energy to be good the first day.
00:24 So you're not surprised at all?
00:26 >> No, I'm not surprised at all.
00:28 My running back, we just come through every day, we come through and work.
00:31 We just come through and compete.
00:32 >> I think, cuz I at home did a lot of work last year at the prep,
00:36 I mean, I got to work with the, and he got a lot of work last year.
00:42 What do you see about him?
00:43 Did he get that big run that he's showing the show?
00:47 >> Yeah, I actually saw that run before it even happened.
00:49 I knew he's gonna be a big play type of guy this year, so
00:52 I can't wait to see what's in store for him this year.
00:54 It's gonna be a good year for him.
00:56 >> Did you see that he had the rust off?
00:57 I mean, even in the spring and the summer workouts, when he's done.
01:00 >> Right in here, he looks way more comfortable than last year.
01:04 I'm excited to see him play.
01:05 I'm excited to see CJ come in too.
01:07 And LT, he just do it all, so I can't wait to see him as well.
01:11 >> Trey, what do you feel like are some of the biggest improvements you've made in
01:14 your game throughout the off season?
01:16 >> Just understanding the offense more, and building my confidence,
01:20 because that's what I stacked with a little bit last year.
01:22 But this year, I've been building my confidence a little more.
01:26 >> Can you describe how different you feel compared to a year ago when you
01:30 first followed him?
01:32 >> A year ago, I was a little timid.
01:33 I was always looking around, trying to see what's next.
01:36 But now I'm just laid back and comfortable.
01:38 >> You mentioned you had an almost anxiety attack before one of the games.
01:41 So has it just slowed down, calmed down for you now a little bit?
01:44 >> Yeah, it calmed down a lot, actually.
01:46 But I still have a little anxiety, but it's way better this year,
01:49 especially with him beside me.
01:52 >> About the luxury body, when you came off an injury last year,
01:56 which is your first year in the league,
01:58 you said you were testing that, but when you come into this year,
02:02 you feel a little different?
02:04 >> Yeah, my right leg actually got bigger than actually my left leg.
02:08 So I'm feeling really good about my knee that I hurt a couple years back,
02:12 but I'm 100% like I said, I'm way more strong in my legs.
02:16 >> You know what we do, we're a team, right?
02:19 We focus on the team and winning.
02:20 So when you get recognized for preseason awards, how does that feel?
02:23 So you don't forget that, being a first team LACC preseason?
02:27 >> I don't want to look at that, I don't want to pressure myself,
02:31 just trying to come to work here and get it.
02:33 Cuz preseason don't mean anything at all.
02:35 So I'm really just trying to get 100% better every day.
02:38 And I mean, having those preseason awards, that's cool and all, but
02:42 I'm just coming to work.
02:44 >> How do some of those new guys fit in, like Keon and
02:46 Destin, guys that weren't here in the spring?
02:49 >> They fit right in.
02:50 Destin, I've been gone for a year or two from it, so he actually good.
02:56 Like he never left away from it.
02:58 And Keon, that's a freak athlete right there.
03:01 >> He also tears himself when he's got a lot of college football.
03:04 >> Yeah, Keon got a lot of swag, a lot of confidence, and
03:07 I can't wait to see what he can do this year.
03:08 >> You mentioned Keon and Destin.
03:11 What did they bring to the offense that you guys didn't have or
03:14 kind of had matched up with?
03:15 What did they bring?
03:16 >> They're more of a big play guys.
03:18 They're catching everybody that comes to them,
03:21 catching their own balls and they're very close players.
03:24 >> You got 25 days before the football game.
03:28 What are your goals for this camp?
03:32 What do you wanna accomplish as a team in the next camp?
03:36 >> Me personally, I just wanna become more of a leader, more of a vocal leader
03:39 because I feel like last year I didn't talk as much.
03:42 So this year I just wanna be able to put the running backs on my back sometimes.
03:49 And whenever they need me, I'm there for them and they'll be there for me as well.
03:53 >> As an offense, what can you achieve in this camp that will help you
03:58 fulfill your potential as a team?
04:00 As an offense?
04:02 >> Basically, just getting one percent better every day,
04:05 continuing to run those plays every day, rep by rep, day by day.
04:09 And continue to get better and continue to get more comfortable as a team.
04:11 >> How was that heat today?
04:14 >> Heat?
04:16 It felt like some misty be here today.
04:17 I feel like I'm back home.
04:19 But we got through it though.
04:20 We got through it today and I know I lost a little weight, but
04:23 I'm finna go gain it back right now.
04:25 >> I think you said in spring that you wanted to be more of a power running back
04:28 this year.
04:28 Just how's that development been for you?
04:31 >> I put on like 10 pounds.
04:32 So, and I've been running, I feel like I've been running way more confident.
04:37 And me putting on 10 pounds, I feel like I can produce more power.
04:42 >> Yeah, man.
04:43 >> Lamar Cashaw, I never talked to you guys, former players.
04:46 Remember what his message was when he talked to you guys?
04:48 >> Going through workouts and going through those things.
04:50 >> Basically, just that mentality, coming to work every single day and
04:53 staying hungry, never being satisfied.
04:56 >> Did they show you guys any of his clubs or anything?
04:59 >> Yeah, it was a highlight video.
05:00 That kind of excited me.
05:02 I'm like, again, when I seen him walk up, I'm like, is that him?
05:05 He's small, but he played nine years in the league, so.
05:09 >> He didn't play small.
05:11 >> That offensive line in front of you has got over 200 combined starts in their
05:14 careers.
05:14 How confident are you guys going into 2023?
05:17 >> I'm confident.
05:18 If they can block J-Ivers right there, I'm confident.
05:20 I'm confident.
05:21 >> Don't bring me into it.
05:22 >> [LAUGH] >> Don't bring me into it.
05:24 >> When are you guys racing, though?
05:26 >> We're racing?
05:27 >> I'm standing over top of you, I have no idea who he is.
05:28 >> When are you guys racing?
05:29 >> I have no idea who we're racing.
05:31 We already raced in off season and I beat him.
05:34 Ask him who won.
05:35 I won.
05:36 Ask him who won.
05:37 I won the race by a mile.
05:39 By a mile.
05:40 I won by a mile.
