00:00 I'm feeling happy. I came out here, this is what I wanted to do. I feel like I got the results that I wanted to get out here.
00:05 So it feels good.
00:06 Yes sir. What would you say goes into your pass rush plan as an interior defensive lineman?
00:12 How does your film study really go into that?
00:15 I'd say when I first came out here, I know y'all saw me do a lot of swing moves and push pull.
00:19 And you notice that the second day they adapted to it a little bit.
00:23 So I got in the film, watched everything. I came out here with a little more power, a little bit more speed.
00:28 It was all about adapting your game and the fly.
00:30 So Mike Tomlin likes to be really up close with the guys. He likes to talk about them.
00:35 Have you been able to talk to him at all? Have you described the experience of just being able to meet with him?
00:40 It was crazy. I remember when he shook my hand, I couldn't believe it was him standing in front of me.
00:45 But he was a cool dude. He'd say what he wanted to see out of me and just keep working.
00:50 It made me feel more confident.
00:52 What would it mean to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers defensive line?
00:54 It would mean everything. I just want to play football. Wherever I go, I'm just happy to play.
01:00 You met with them?
01:01 Yes.
