00:00 here, you can play one more without having to worry about anything.
00:04 And then after that, it's do I wait till the postseason, which is free, or
00:09 do I wait till next year, which could be a full time player that's really needed here?
00:16 That's really a weird kind of situation.
00:17 >> Yeah, definitely.
00:18 For sure, I feel like just taking it well, week by week,
00:22 you never know what's gonna happen.
00:23 You just always stay ready.
00:25 You just never know what could happen.
00:25 Somebody could go down, and you have to be ready to go.
00:28 So that's what I've been at every week, just taking one day at a time,
00:32 week by week, just whatever coaches need, that's what I'm trying to do.
00:36 >> Yeah, and right now you feel pretty good,
00:38 cuz you still have a little injury problem after getting over the thumb and
00:42 all that.
00:43 >> Yeah, just a little minor little injury, nothing crazy.
00:46 Just gotta get rehab and get more treatment, same old, same old, but
00:51 I'll be fine.
00:52 >> And what do the coaches tell you that if you come back next year,
00:55 I'm sure Roman, this guy's gonna be gone.
00:58 And they're gonna need veteran receivers to step in and
01:02 be the number one and two guys.
01:04 Is that what you hear?
01:05 >> I mean, not necessarily.
01:06 We don't necessarily talk about next year.
01:08 I mean, not right now.
01:09 We're literally just taking it one day at a time, one week at a time.
01:12 But when opportunity comes, I'm sure we'll talk about it.
01:15 But right now, we're just going week by week.
01:17 >> Yeah, and this last thing,
01:19 this whole Washington deal has really worked out for you well.
01:23 I mean, you were at Michigan, which is a huge place.
01:25 >> Yeah. >> You're the number five ranked team,
01:27 and you're worth what is now the number two ranked team.
01:30 But it's been kind of interesting, your career path.
01:33 >> Yeah, it's been fun.
01:34 I love it, wouldn't change it for nothing.
01:37 Love those guys over there, they're doing great.
01:40 Hopefully, we'll see them in the playoffs.
01:41 >> Yeah, so you definitely got a chance to kind of see everything.
01:44 >> Yeah, definitely, definitely.
01:45 I've seen the bad times, the down records, the COVID season.
01:51 I've pretty much seen it all with these colleagues.
01:54 >> Are you still hoping to get a kickoff return before you graduate and
01:57 go to the distance again?
01:59 >> Definitely, I low key want a punt return, but I feel like we'll get
02:03 a kick return, but I've been looking at punt returns a lot more.
02:07 But I think we'll get one.
02:09 >> Well, thank you.
