00:00 What's up? I'm Playmaker Nyree and this is Beyond the Buzzer.
00:03 I'm here to show you what these athlete's eyes look like when the clock hits zero.
00:07 Three, two, one.
00:09 What's up?
00:20 What's going on? Welcome in.
00:21 So is this your first time in Boulder?
00:26 It is. I'm excited to be here.
00:28 I'm excited for you to show me around.
00:30 Yeah, I mean, it's pretty smooth.
00:31 I mean, if you're an outdoors person, you would definitely like Boulder.
00:34 The scenery.
00:34 What's your favorite spot to go here?
00:36 I think my favorite spot so far, I've tried a few places, but I think this spot, Calabante,
00:42 really good food spot.
00:43 So they have good Mexican food and they have really good Mediterranean food as well.
00:47 Cool. What do you like to do outside of football?
00:49 I mean, I feel like just like a lot of football players.
00:53 I'm definitely a gamer.
00:54 Fortnite?
00:56 Fortnite. Yeah, we definitely been on that Fortnite. OG Fortnite.
01:00 Although I wasn't on it when it was really OG.
01:03 Poppin'. What's your favorite game to play?
01:06 I'm probably big on 2K right now. Although...
01:09 Oh my f***ing...
01:12 You know, it still needs to be worked on, but I'm still, I'm still definitely big on 2K.
01:18 All right. So I know your life is pretty consumed right now with college football,
01:22 but are you a big NFL guy?
01:24 Are you locked in every Sunday or kind of like, focus on what I'm doing?
01:30 I'm just going to say there's a good in between because I'm not locked in,
01:33 but between like social media and all like the NFL sports apps that I have on my phone,
01:40 I feel like I'm still pretty like in tune with everything that's going on.
01:43 Do you have a favorite team?
01:44 No, I don't have a favorite team. I've never been like a fan of a team at all.
01:47 Really? Growing up, was there like a certain player that you like looked up to?
01:52 Like that's just kind of what I do. Like I just kind of just like look around.
01:55 I just kind of just bounce around all types of players just from every team.
01:58 I just kind of, I don't really like, it's kind of hard to say I have a favorite player.
02:02 Everybody's really good. You know what I'm saying?
02:04 Is there a certain player that you feel like resembles your game?
02:07 Um...
02:08 Who's in the league right now?
02:09 Probably like Joe Mixon or Najee Harris right now.
02:16 I like that. I like that.
02:18 Yeah.
02:19 So you started your college career at Houston.
02:22 Correct.
02:23 And then you transferred to Colorado.
02:24 Correct.
02:25 What was it about Colorado that made you want to come here?
02:27 Like just Colorado.
02:29 Just Colorado.
02:30 I mean just like Colorado as an aspect, you know, like everything that is happening now
02:35 wasn't anything that I didn't know was.
02:37 Being around a coach who has always been extremely successful in every part of his career
02:42 and just feeding off of his energy every day and the people that he brings around
02:46 for us to also feed off of and gain knowledge from as well.
02:50 Okay, well talking about Coach Prime, obviously you're being coached by one of the hottest coaches
02:57 in the game right now.
02:58 Everyone's talking about him. Everyone wants to be him or be on his team.
03:02 He's all over everywhere.
03:04 You just came off a major injury, which had you out for quite some time.
03:08 How was he during that injury?
03:10 He supported me.
03:12 You know, he let me take my time even if I was like, I wanted to be pushed harder.
03:17 He was just making sure that we took all the precautions to bringing me back to the field safely
03:25 and making sure I was able to perform to my best ability before I got back on the field.
03:30 Right.
03:31 If you had to describe Coach Prime in three words, what would those three words be?
03:35 Coach Prime in three words, resilient, funny, and proud.
03:43 Loud.
03:44 So, yeah, I definitely like coming out here.
03:47 This is beautiful.
03:49 Yeah, I was getting ready to say this. It's a beautiful place to clear your mind.
03:53 This is crazy.
03:55 You can see the whole city from here.
03:57 Yeah, it's real nice. You can really just see all of Boulder.
04:02 How's the energy at the stadium this season?
04:05 Oh, it's...
04:06 Is it different than any other time you play football?
04:09 Yeah, it's completely off the charts.
04:11 I mean, I love how supportive they are.
04:13 Super appreciative and it makes me feel really good when no matter what, you have people, fans,
04:21 a supportive nation behind you who really just wants to see you do better.
04:26 What's the journey of your recovery look like?
04:28 Just like any journey, there's ups and downs and then there's smooth coastings as well.
04:32 But I'd say it's been pretty smooth.
04:34 I've been approaching it, I feel like, very well, more than a lot of people would.
04:38 And just off how hard I work and my mentality towards everything, I haven't let it consume me.
04:46 It really just changed who I am as a person.
04:48 I mean, this is a great place to calm and get your mind right.
04:51 It's so relaxing and calming up here.
04:55 Just looking down, it's so quiet up here.
04:58 Compared to all the chaos down there, it's probably nice to get away sometimes.
05:02 From the craziness of football and school and all that and just get away.
05:07 Without a doubt.
05:08 Is it different? How do you feel playing in this weather now?
05:11 You miss the heat? You already miss the heat.
05:13 You just kind of stay as warm as you possibly can on the sideline.
05:18 I literally can barely walk in this weather.
05:20 I don't know how you guys are playing a full-ass football game.
05:22 Yeah, playing football.
05:23 It takes me back to PE days when we'd have to run the mile in the winter.
05:28 And I feel like my chest was caving in because I couldn't breathe in this weather.
05:33 It was so cold.
05:35 Yeah.
05:36 Well, you said you were a big TikTok dancer in the car.
05:40 So you got to show me some of your moves.
05:43 I feel like this is a perfect view.
05:45 Okay, go.
05:46 Yeah.
05:47 Nice.
05:50 Deep.
05:51 [Music]
06:02 I don't know about you, but I'm getting a little hungry.
06:04 And I want you to show me what you're eating.
06:06 Definitely.
06:07 What's the usual meal for you?
06:08 That's what we got to – that's what you got to show me right now.
06:11 I got you. I got you.
06:12 I feel like I'm a big pasta guy, so.
06:14 Oh, pasta's my favorite food.
06:15 Oh, yeah.
06:16 I love pasta.
06:17 All right, it's over. We're getting pasta.
06:18 Let's do it then.
06:20 All right, we got all our groceries.
06:22 Yes, ma'am.
06:23 Now, I'm going to see you chef up, right?
06:25 Oh, yeah, real quick, real quick.
06:27 Gordon Ramsay over here.
06:28 You know what I'm saying, real quick.
06:30 Hopefully I don't get the Gordon Ramsay treatment.
06:33 Is this an often thing you guys do, cook together?
06:37 Yes, he's my sous chef.
06:39 I'd say we get cooking.
06:40 I'd say so, too.
06:41 All right.
06:42 We're going to be relying on you, hubby.
06:43 Okay, of course.
06:44 Let's wash our hands and start getting the veggies chopped up.
06:47 Done.
06:48 He's locked in, though.
06:49 He's focused.
06:50 Look at the spatula work here.
06:53 He's going in.
06:54 This is like coffee potty secret formula.
06:58 Do you ever snack while you're playing?
07:02 Is that a thing people do, or you can't get your control over it?
07:05 Oh, yeah, no, I'm definitely this.
07:07 What's a snack?
07:08 Anything.
07:09 Are you a big snacker?
07:11 I'm not a big snack guy.
07:13 If I'm eating during the game, it's like I'm eating something,
07:16 like something I ordered or something that was cooked or something like that.
07:20 Are you picky?
07:21 No.
07:22 Everything.
07:23 Yeah.
07:24 What's one thing you will not eat?
07:25 Mashed potatoes.
07:26 Mashed potatoes?
07:27 Garbage.
07:28 Really?
07:29 Absolutely garbage.
07:30 I'll keep telling you, this is my first shooting game.
07:32 I'm not a shooting games person.
07:34 I can get all mad and stuff.
07:36 I'm bad, too, but, like, come on.
07:38 I'm like, go, go, go.
07:41 You saved us.
07:42 You literally saved us.
07:43 You were going to -- like, if you didn't come,
07:46 we were just going to end up hungry.
07:47 Well, okay, I'm glad I was able to assist.
07:50 I hope it turned out --
07:51 No, it -- like, it looks really good.
07:54 We're going to need a taste test now after he's done on the game.
07:57 Okay.
07:58 Okay, without him watching, is there anything, like,
08:00 you want to tell him without him hearing?
08:03 Without him hearing, I just want to tell him to always believe in himself,
08:06 always continue to put God first in everything that he does.
08:10 You know, success and greatness is destined for his life.
08:14 It's not coming out of this as smooth as I thought it was.
08:17 Cheers, Jimmy.
08:19 Our creation.
08:20 Cheers.
08:22 Cheers.
08:27 That is fire.
08:28 It's good?
08:30 All right, I know it's been a long day.
08:32 We did a lot today.
08:34 Yeah.
08:35 So I'm exhausted.
08:37 Thank you for hanging out with me all day,
08:39 showing us what your life is like behind the scenes.
08:41 I had a lot of fun.
08:43 I did, too.
08:44 I did, too.
08:45 But you got to get up out of my house.
08:47 A.S.A.P.
08:49 He really said get the hell out of my house, get out of my crib.
08:53 Bye.
08:54 Good luck tomorrow.
