[Music] [Music] day one measure up to what you expected yeah I mean it was great I mean obviously this has been a huge goal of mine to come out here and be a part of the Elite 11 um so just to be here is a blessing um I’ve been following it since ever since Trevor Lawrence and Justin Fields group came through so I’ve just been following it every year and kind of know like what goes on each day um so kind of just to like be in the moment and live it out is super super cool and surreal for me um but it was great to be to come out here um and compete with a lot of the top guys in the country and just see how I stack up against them um build a relationships with them and just compete how do you think it’s stack yeah honestly I I have a lot of confidence I think I can throw it with anybody out here and I I know I can I knew I could going into this so um big thing for me and honestly it’s like just big for me and my private quarterback coach um coach mandler is just um the lower body you know that’s that’s your power source so just getting that hip separation and just letting your lower half do the work just it’ll feel effortless up here up top so really that’s the biggest thing for me Ryan you come across this very polished to me the first time seeing me live is there anything that you think like I got to get better at like what do you think are your weakest strengths yeah honestly I mean I can get better at any everything um mean I’m never going to be satisfied as a quarterback I know there’s always going going to be stuff I need to work on um I think the biggest thing for me right now is just um just being as consistent as I can um sometimes my R angle tends to flatten a little bit so I think just like staying on top of that is really what’s going to be big for me um in these next few days and throughout my um my high school season this upcoming year and throughout college but I mean I can work on everything obviously going to get bigger stronger faster keep being in the weight room um like I said keep getting faster more agile not a lot of people think when they think of me they think of me as just like a guy that can’t really move it’s kind of robotic but I know I can move I can move with um all of them I know I’m not going to you know beat teams with my legs um but I can move just enough well well more than enough so um yeah I mean like I said I’m just going to keep working never going to be satisfied with my craft what are you most looking forward to off the field during this event yeah I mean just like even today like the meetings with I mean coach coach Carol came in um just being able to just sit and listen to him talk um and just soak up as much as I can from him I mean he’s one of the best best to ever do it one of the best coaches um ever in the NFL so um just little things like that you know just picking up things from all the speakers um just being dialed in and soaking up as much as I can how many hours of the day is it like we see you out here for 3 hours how many hours of the day is quarterback University here today oh yeah I mean it’s it I mean we we started at 2:00 today so we’ve been going ever since we probably had me meetings from 2: to probably 5:30 and then had a quick dinner and then we came out here um it’s going to be the same thing tomorrow we’ll have a lot of meetings throughout the day after breakfast tomorrow morning and then again we’ll come out here during the night and um get some work in kind of emulates college life yeah it really does yeah yeah two things how’s the turf toe and then uh like what’s your this supposed to be fun some of the throws you get the riper F what was the most fun part in that yeah I mean the turf toil has actually been great um not having had too many issues with it um knock on wood right but um it’s it’s been pretty good um but I would just say I I really like that real shot challenge um I think I just I just want to get that one back a little bit mine was a little high but um I mean that was probably my favorite that was just really cool really cool setting you know um throwing in front of n the 19 other guys and honestly everybody so um there’s a lot of pressure in that throw um so just I would say that was probably my favorite part of today tomorrow you got pro day have you scripted that are you thinking about that like what’s going through your mind have you watched YouTube clips of other quarterbacks lead 11 prod yeah I’ve watched it a little bit I mean I I have I don’t have it memorized in the back of my mind um but you know I’m just going to go out there and just do my thing showcase my skills I got I got one more for you uh we haven’t talked to you since uh Talon committed I think I heard a story about you playing shads with him or something like that what’s what are the dogs getting in talent and how excited are you to play with him oh man man I mean he’s a he’s as dynamic as they get um Dynamic playmaker um was going to make my job a lot easier um so you know I spent a lot of time with him on our OV together like you said we played a game of Charades together we were partners for that um so we’re already Building Up chemistry right but um yeah he’s just he’s he’s awesome so I can’t wait to you know get to Athens and really get to work with him did he give you a hint what was happening after the official you have an idea do you have a hope yeah a little bit I mean honestly his mom and my mom kind of connected a lot um and they were talking about things but you know I was just talking to him I could get a feel that you know this is going to be the place for him do you look at this tape did you look at this tape before the visit or after the visit what kind of player do you I did both before and after like I said it’s just a dynamic playmaker go up get the ball um super super fast super quick and he’s super reliable so um I think that’s the biggest thing is obviously as a quarterback you want to have trust in your guys so I know I’m going to have my full trust in him did you see anybody today that impressed you the Elite 11 who looked Elite to you out here today like quarterback wise yeah I mean I mean everybody can sling it I mean that’s why they’re all out here for a reason um I mean that jiren um that won the rail shot I mean they were he probably threw six or seven balls just on the money every time um so I mean he really impressed me and he’s a really nice kid too so right man appreciate you thanks man for your time yes sir thanks
