00:06 >> Arnold's too.
00:06 >> Everybody talks about Jonathan Gannon's energy in the meeting.
00:09 >> Yeah, he had a lot of energy, walking into that room, super pumped up.
00:14 Got a really good vibe from the guy, and yeah, it was a smooth meeting.
00:17 >> And how would you feel playing opposite of another Big Ten tackle in
00:19 Paris Johnson Jr. protecting Kyler Murray?
00:21 >> Yeah, no, it'd be cool.
00:23 Paris and I were peers last year, playing in the same conference.
00:27 So to have that opportunity to block on the other side of the line with him,
00:31 it'd be cool.
00:32 It's Sunday night for me, after a game, and I like to really watch the third and
00:38 long cut up and the two minute cut up of the edge rushes that I'm going against
00:43 that week just because that's when you're gonna get their best moves.
00:46 That's when you're gonna get their most confident moves that they think that they
00:49 can beat anyone with.
00:50 So I like to watch that earlier in the week just to get that in the back of my
00:53 head.
00:54 Then something that I picked up this year was talking to my scout team and
01:00 developmental squad, D-Lineman, that I go against in practice,
01:02 sending them clips of the moves that I'm gonna see this week.
01:06 And just telling them to mix that into their pass rush just so, again,
01:10 I have an idea and I can get a feel for the type of moves I'm gonna get on that
01:13 Saturday. >> At the end of the day,
01:14 people can think what they want.
01:16 I just know at the end of the day, I'm super confident in my ability to play
01:19 right now.
01:21 I've been ready for this moment for a while, especially with the last couple
01:25 weeks, training in Dallas, Texas with Duke Mannyweather.
01:29 He's prepped me very well.
01:30 I'm extremely confident and again, I'm ready for this moment.
01:33 >> What is it that makes you ready?
01:34 What are you good at right now?
01:35 >> Right now?
01:37 I mean, right now, sorry.
01:40 >> What are you good at right now?
01:42 What makes you ready right now?
01:44 >> Yeah, right now I think what sets me apart specifically is my mentality.
01:49 I'm an ultra competitor.
01:51 I come from a very competitive environment at Penn State.
01:53 I know every day I come into the facilities, I'm ready to work.
01:57 I'm trying to outdo myself every day.
01:59 I'm trying to outdo everyone else, all my teammates, but for
02:02 the better of everyone.
02:03 Cuz I know at the end of the day, by competing with myself and my teammates,
02:07 not only am I making myself better, but I'm making everyone around me better as well.
02:10 >> Time's up.
