00:00 >> All right, Donald, we talked a little bit earlier in the week of media availability.
00:04 So after your first start of the game, after your first start of your career,
00:06 how are you feeling?
00:08 >> I feel good, I've seen my teammates go out there and make some big plays.
00:11 I've seen the quarterback make great plays.
00:13 I feel like we all came together and put something together as a team.
00:17 I definitely had some good plays out there, got some yaks, but
00:20 it's not about that, it's about the team.
00:22 So I don't really focus on myself too much.
00:25 It's really about what the process is, what we're doing on the field.
00:29 As long as we moving them chains and putting points up on the board,
00:33 we all doing our job.
00:34 >> Speaking of the, like you said, the receivers making good plays,
00:37 Omar right behind us had a 100 yard day.
00:39 KJ at the home got his first career reception.
00:41 The freshman, you got his first touchdown reception as well.
00:45 How do you feel about the success that your receiving room had as a whole?
00:47 >> That turned me up.
00:48 I felt good cuz it's like everybody's finally doing something cuz I thought last
00:52 year was supposed to be like that, you feel me?
00:54 So we had a great receiving core last year.
00:58 This year I feel like everybody that was younger and
01:00 got a chance to step up now, we finally could pop out and do our thing.
01:04 >> Goal specific to you, that was the thing that I noticed in camp that kind of
01:07 carried over to today's game.
01:09 You have a need to finally know the holes and zone coverage over the middle field.
01:12 And being willing to take and make those tough coverages,
01:15 those tough catches over the middle.
01:17 So is that like a big part of your game,
01:18 something that you look to be like a successful player in your career?
01:20 >> I won't lie to you, I won't lie to you.
01:21 I definitely stole that from OG.
01:23 I definitely didn't watch him last year, definitely didn't watch him this year in
01:26 practice.
01:27 I definitely stole a little, got to steal a little something to put it in my bag.
01:31 I got to do that, but I learned a lot from my coaches and
01:35 watched older people ahead of me and the people ahead of me.
01:38 And they done put me in the right direction.
01:40 >> Speaking about that trickle down effect, like you said, taking tips and
01:42 tricks from OG.
01:43 And you being, like I said, that young guy that separated as a starter with
01:47 some of the younger group.
01:49 How do you kind of impart some of that game to guys like KJ, guys like Omaris,
01:53 where y'all still the same age, but
01:54 you're the one getting the majority of the reps right now?
01:56 >> I mean, we don't think of it like that.
01:58 We don't think about, he's getting more reps than him.
02:01 We think of it more as if you're in the game, do what you gotta do.
02:04 So the next person can do what he gotta do to make the team better, you feel me?
02:08 That's how we think of it and that's how we look at it.
02:10 Nobody hates each other.
02:12 This is a family right here, you know what I mean?
02:14 This is what it's all about.
