very controversial I’m just being a jerk it’s no big deal by the way it did you ever have an Achilles did what was your biggest surgery no but I had some foot stuff you I I broke my foot twice and then I had uh I ruptured my planner fascia in both my feet so all my issues were feet but uh I never thankfully did Achilles that’s like everybody’s worst nightmare that’s that’s like the if you do anything in the world it’s you just can’t tear your Achilles that’s that’s always the worst one I I do think with gr uh uh with Aaron their offensive line is either old or rookies uh and I think to myself I’d love o line like Detroit’s o line is in their Prime Atlanta’s guys in their prime those are great old lines do you worry a little bit with Aaron that it’s an older player when you come off an injury Greg maybe you didn’t but quarterbacks have a blind side that you got to sometimes you know you’re safe but you got to convince your brain year upright and that that do you worry about that as they and by the way Greg veteran offensive linemen no longer play in the preseason it’s the hardest unit to get cohesion you know that you were a blocking tight end as well as a catching one I’ve said this in a different era I think they’d be fine I worry about all the movement and all these new faces for the Jets on the old line not playing in the preseason your thoughts yeah no it’s real and and listen the reality is you’re only you’re going to have to really rely on the the movement of your quarterback byy in time we saw it last year with Mahomes as that o line settled in and had their issues in the middle of the season is that what you want Rogers to be like is he gonna run around and do all that I’m not sure at the age the injury so it’s you’re 100% right the offensive line sets the tone for your identity and I think the Jets realize that you know it’s interesting we I really think Bo Knicks was perfect for Shawn pton I love Michael Pennock I think Jaden Daniel is underrated Caleb’s terrific I worry about Drake May for a lot of reasons footwork inconsistent no weapons but my take is is that because quarterbacks now come in it there’s it’s a cottage industry it’s actually beyond that it’s an industry quarterback play high school seven on sevens people make livings now dealing with high school quarterbacks these kids come out with 10,000 snaps is that I used to believe you got three years I don’t I Believe by your second Thanksgiving people in the building have made a decision they’re not going public with it but they’ve made a decision um and I just think that’s fair I think these kids I mean God B knck has 61 college starts if I can’t figure it out by the second Thanksgiving I should fire my Scouts and my Personnel people um when you were in Carolina and cam how long does it take for you to go yeah that works how many snaps how many practic is did you drive home tell your wife yeah we got a guy like that that that’s pretty good yeah so obviously the the the quarterback position is the one you know I think back to my first year in Carolina we had just we had no off season that was the lockout year of of 2011 I got traded there right at the start of training camp um cam was drafted Grant obviously earlier in the offseason in April but we had no mini camp we had no you know the guys did some workouts but there was nothing official so really we didn’t know and get together as a group until you know end of July there was quarterback competition Jimmy Clawson was the incumbent starter in his second year was the starter as a rookie the previous season obviously we drafted cam one overall after like three practices you go back to your dorm and you’re like he’s a rookie obviously he’s learning the system okay but this dude is just different like and you don’t even really know how to quantify it it’s kind of like one of those things like you can’t explain it but you know it when you see it like it it took like three days to be like he might make the wrong read he’s young you know every young quarterback’s going to go through their Growing Pains but there are not many people on the planet that can do what this guy did I don’t need two months to figure that out we need to M an offense we need to make a terminology an offense a system and structure that’s not what’s good for me what’s good for our wide receiver or what’s good for Cam Newton and how do we get this dude to be the dominant player that he was in College how do we put him in a position to be that dominant player like we learned that pretty quickly here in Carolina like we were only going to go as far as this guy yeah he’s pretty unique and talented so we might as well just do what he’s really good at but yeah I I think this notion that it’s gonna take two years I couldn’t agree with you more I think the notion that it takes two years to find out whether a guy could play or not not at the quarterback position and not when you take them that high in the draft you’re a first round quarterback I’m with you I got to know pretty soon am I on to something here or or all looking for new jobs because let’s be honest if you miss you you very you very rarely get a chance to get draft two quarterbacks right every once in a while there’s that example but you you take a quarterback high it’s usually because you stunk or you bet the farm to trade up to get him if that guy doesn’t work out and you don’t hit the next draft the next quarterback day draft is probably playing for somebody else that’s today’s NFL you don’t have a million years to figure this out so you are in Nashville for a few days tight end University fourth year you’re doing this and so uh ESPN had a researcher and I forget the name I apologize but he came out and said if you go to the last 20 drafts the two positions first round positions that miss the most are receiver and tight end so my theory on tight end is this is why Iowa is so good with tight end is that most college tight ends don’t block like you’re asked to Block in pro football they can go vertical they’re that 66 goodlook athlete but the reason you and Tony Gonzalez worked is cuz you put your hands on people and so when you do this tight end University and and explain it a little bit who gets to go who are you looking are these high school college the position to me now is unfairly paid I think I think there’s football cyclical I think tight ends I mean there’s a reason they moved off Tyreek Hill and not Travis Kelce like there’s reason they w a Super Bowl who are you talking to at this camp and what do you see with young tight ends are they the same 10 years ago asked to do more or less yeah I think the positions really come a long way and I think the timing of teu and really starting so how it started you know back in 2021 I had just retired my last season out in Seattle and I was just going back and forth with with KD and I’ve gotten to know Kelsey and a bunch of these guys and and we just had this idea we’re like hey let’s get together in Nashville that’s where KD lives with you know um a coup you know Hockinson and a couple other young guys around the league that live in in Nashville in the offseason and let’s just get a handful of guys five 10 guys and just do a couple days workout I’ll come down it’ll be a blast well that group grew to 20 to 30 and next thing you know we’re like we’re on to something here the demand and the interest we got Kelsey involved obviously brings a lot of credibility having Kelsey and K and myself you know kind of spearheading this so we’re in year four last year we had 85 guys we do it at Vanderbilt University they give us their entire facility we get meeting rooms we get treatment rooms we bring in you know PT therapist massage we have people present on taking care of your body we have people present on all different types of subjects and then obviously the Deep dive of film work classroom and field is blocking route running and you know we get presentations from you know Kelsey and KD and Dallas Clark was a part of it and gave a really good presentation so just both former and current guys the best in the business and if you’re an NFL tight end you are eligible to come so again go from Kelsey and KD who are at the top of the top of the position all the way down to Young undrafted rookies who are trying to make the team the idea is share information let’s develop the position and I think the timing was so good because like you said the evolution of the position from when I came into the league in 07 and there was a handful of good tight ends right it was Gonzalez and Whitten and Gates and the tail end of Shannon sharp now it seems like every team has a prominent guy so it’s been really cool you know we we pay for it all we put the guys up we have great sponsors you know charman and Bud Light you know they they give us the money and the ability to really do a first class event and guys come every year I wish we had room for 200 guys you know it just continues to grow and the information that’s shared is just really unique and and I’m not sure there’s a there’s a position in sports or whatever that does something like this to the level that we do it where guys just can’t wait to come back because it’s both fun and these guys Le and they say like I’m going to be able to make a career based on a lot lot of the things that I learned over these three days by the way a minute left Brock Bowers went to Vegas the tight end from Georgia he went from Napa Valley Wine Country to the South and crushed he’s about the best college tight end I’ve seen when you watched him because I know you watched college football Greg a minute left when you watched him did you say lock guarantee anything that flawed what did you make of him yeah I think he would have went even higher I know he had a little injury stuff during the pre-draft combine uh the pre-draft preparation and the combines and stuff where I’m not even sure if he ran I think he had like a hamstring or something dealt with a little injury I you know last year at Georgia I think if he would have been able to come out the previous draft I think you’re talking like a top five seven pick like I’m with you he he might be the best college tight end production wise just the eye test that I’ve ever really seen I mean his size his ability to run in the open field I mean he’s playing SEC football catching 12 yard dig routes and out running secondary Defenders from LSU Alabama he’s not beating up on smalltown guys yeah he’s really impressive I I think they got a steal with him and uh I think the combination of him and the young kid from Notre Dame there from last year that they drafted they got two young tight ends they can build around for a long time out there in uh in Vegas uh Greg olssen Fox Sports tight end University this summer June 17th to the 20th in Nashville every everything you do is thoughtful and smart appreciate you stopping by good luck
