00:00 >> What was today like for you?
00:01 >> It was fun.
00:02 It was cool seeing everyone out there just doing what they do.
00:05 I've been training for two months, so it's just you got one day to prove it and
00:09 I think everyone just came out here and had fun.
00:12 >> What was the focus for you just coming into the day?
00:15 >> I think just not really think too much.
00:17 I feel like a lot of guys get down in their stance and think too much,
00:20 me included, so just have fun basically.
00:23 >> Are you disappointed you didn't get invited to the combine?
00:28 As much as many gauges you started in college?
00:30 >> Yeah, I wouldn't say disappointed.
00:32 It would have been cool to go to but no protege just isn't important.
00:35 So definitely would have been cool to get invited but
00:38 I wouldn't say I'm disappointed.
00:40 >> Actually like you did today.
00:41 >> All right, I think I'm not a great tester I don't think so.
00:44 That did average.
00:45 Can't do anything about it now so.
00:47 >> You're out of eligibility but we've got fewer and
00:53 fewer guys with eligibility entering the draft, more kids than standing college.
00:59 >> Yeah. >> Is that, do you think that's NIL?
01:02 What do you think that's all about?
01:03 >> I think it's NIL.
01:04 I mean kids here definitely want to want to compete in the SEC.
01:07 So like guys like Danny and Billy, they definitely want to stay and compete.
01:10 But I think NIL is a big part of it.
01:12 It's guaranteed, kind of guaranteed money rather than going to try to make a team on
01:15 the NFL and not be without a job after that kind of, so yeah.
01:19 >> When you look back at this season, what does it mean to you?
01:24 And do you think you accomplished everything individually?
01:27 >> It was a great season.
01:29 Definitely wish it ended differently.
01:31 Personally, I didn't produce as much as I wanted to but
01:34 it's easy to shine a light on yourself and talk down on yourself.
01:38 But I think I contributed how I should have and we had a lot of productive guys,
01:42 a lot of guys in rotation.
01:43 So it was a fun season I think and I loved it.
01:47 >> You mentioned those other guys in that room, spring football starting yesterday.
01:51 How do you feel about the guys that are still around in that defensive end room?
01:54 What can they do?
01:55 >> I mean, it's not much drop off from last year.
01:58 So we're gonna have the same depth and new guys coming in.
02:02 I don't know much about them.
02:03 But I know Ethan and Trace and PJ and our Mason are gonna leave that room.
02:06 I don't think anything, I think it's gonna get better, obviously, but
02:10 nothing's gonna, nothing's really gonna change.

02:15 >> What was the mindset coming into the game?
02:16 Is there one event you really kind of told it all up in the middle?
02:19 >> I think everyone is a 40.
02:22 You just don't wanna be too slow over time.
02:23 But then at the same time, some guys have a better 10 start.
02:27 Some guys have a better back end.
02:28 So I think just the 40 was probably the one thing I wanted to do a little better on.
02:32 And I did where I was, so I didn't do better, but it was pretty decent for me.
