00:00 I'm Robin Lundberg, joined now by Detroit Lions wide receiver
00:02 Aminrod "Sate" Brown on behalf of Old Spice Swagger
00:05 deodorants and body washes.
00:07 And when you talk about Swagger, your team's got some of that.
00:11 You know, do you feel the vibes of the Lions kind of being
00:14 the public's favorite team this season?
00:17 You know what?
00:18 It's tough to say.
00:19 That's for you guys to say.
00:21 I'm in the building every day.
00:22 We're focusing on one week at a time.
00:24 We got the Chargers this week.
00:26 They're a good team.
00:27 But man, so far it's been pretty good for us.
00:30 But we got to continue to put the work in.
00:32 I think the preparation is huge for us.
00:34 That's what kind of propels us each and every week.
00:36 What would your response be to those in the media or people
00:39 like me who would say, we need to see it to take you
00:42 guys seriously?
00:45 You know, we don't have much to say.
00:47 We just got to take it one week at a time.
00:49 You know, the media is funny.
00:51 They like to-- you know, every week there's a new best team.
00:54 I'm really not sure how that works,
00:56 how a team can be the best team one week
00:59 and then not the best team the next week.
01:01 But it is what it is.
01:02 You guys have a job to do.
01:03 You guys got to make headlines, make some stories.
01:05 But for us, man, in this league, we
01:07 understand that it's a long season like last year.
01:10 We started one in--
01:11 I believe it was one in six.
01:13 And we were one of the worst teams at that point
01:15 that you guys said we were.
01:17 And then towards the end of the year, we finished nine and eight.
01:20 And we finished really strong as a team.
01:22 So for us, man, we understand, like I said, it's a long season.
01:25 We got to do it each and every week.
01:27 But the goal at the end of the year
01:28 is to get in those playoffs.
01:29 And once you get in those playoffs,
01:30 it's one game at a time.
01:31 And anyone can win it at that point.
01:33 So that's our biggest thing right now.
01:34 How about your quarterback?
01:36 He's come a long way from being called a poor man's Matt Ryan
01:40 or whatever the case may be.
01:41 Where would you rank Jared Goff amongst the QBs in the league?
01:45 Jared's in bowling.
01:47 You know, I don't really-- I'm not into all the rankings.
01:49 But he's definitely, in my opinion,
01:52 one of the top quarterbacks in this league right now.
01:54 He's playing like it.
01:55 He's showing everyone what he can do.
01:57 And I'm glad to have him as my quarterback.
02:00 He's been so great to me since I got here as a rookie.
02:03 You know, kind of took me under his wing.
02:05 And man, like I said, I'm excited to have him
02:08 out there each and every Sunday playing alongside me.
02:10 Speaking of quarterbacks that have a connection to you,
02:14 obviously USC, Caleb Williams.
02:17 Where do you see him going in the pro ranks?
02:22 I think Caleb is the best player in college football right now.
02:25 I know the record kind of having lost three games.
02:28 USC, he's kind of out of the hydrant race with that.
02:30 But you go look at his numbers right now,
02:32 he's at the top of almost all the lists.
02:36 He's watching him play.
02:38 I mean, I was at the game last week.
02:40 It's like magic.
02:40 He does things out there that you can't teach.
02:44 So I'm a fan of him.
02:45 I'm excited to see what he does at the next level.
02:47 I know he's going to do great things.
02:49 I just can't wait to see where he goes.
02:51 And then just his ascension, his progression
02:55 throughout the league, him just becoming even a better player,
02:59 older, learning more about the game.
03:02 It's going to be fun to watch.
03:03 What was your response to some of the reaction
03:06 about him showing his emotions after that game?
03:09 Yeah, I mean, as a player, I think
03:11 every player that plays this game, that loves this game,
03:14 understands where he's coming from.
03:16 I respect it.
03:17 I've cried after some games.
03:19 But the fact that it was publicly seen,
03:21 people would like to write stories and say things
03:24 and create a headline.
03:25 Like I said, that's your guy's job.
03:27 So for him, it's just him being with his mom,
03:31 kind of letting it out, kind of being where he feels most
03:34 comfortable with his parents.
03:35 But that just shows how much passion he has for the game,
03:38 the love he has for the game, how bad
03:39 he wanted to win that game.
03:41 Because honestly, that was a big game for him.
03:42 If they win that game, things might
03:44 be looking a little different for USC right now.
03:47 But they came up short.
03:48 And I know how much that game meant to him.
03:50 There you go.
03:51 How about Old Spice?
03:53 Why are you partnering with them?
03:54 And what do you make of the Swagger deodorant
03:56 and body washes?
03:58 Yeah, yeah.
04:00 I'm honored to be partnered with Old Spice as a kid.
04:03 I remember watching the commercials,
04:05 being so tuned in.
04:06 I thought they had some of the best commercials out.
04:09 But now, having been partnered with them,
04:11 I've been using Old Spice for a while now.
04:13 The Old Spice Swagger is giving me 24/7 lasting freshness.
04:17 Even their body wash, I love to use.
04:19 So I'm coming out of the shower smelling fresh.
04:22 One thing that I notice is when people might have food
04:25 in their teeth or something stuck in their teeth,
04:27 or maybe something in their hair or on their face,
04:29 it's easy to tell them, you have something in your hair.
04:32 You might want to get it out, or you got something in your teeth.
04:34 But if you're not smelling good, that's
04:36 something that it's kind of tough to tell someone.
04:38 You usually shy away from that because it's
04:40 kind of embarrassing.
04:41 You might step away further away from them
04:42 just because they don't smell good.
04:44 So having this Old Spice Swagger,
04:46 I'm just confident 24/7 that I'm smelling good,
04:48 that I'm smelling fresh.
04:49 And I'm never worried about if I don't smell good
04:52 or what is this person thinking of me right now,
04:54 if I'm sweating a little because it's hot in the room.
04:56 So Old Spice has been amazing.
04:58 I'm honored, truly.
04:59 Well, good luck with the rest of this line season,
05:02 starting with the chargers coming up.
05:05 Appreciate it.
