00:00 >> I'm surprised for you to see in OTAs that are early in training camp,
00:03 the way that Bobo was able to get open, you mentioned the speed stuff.
00:07 And how does that really paint a picture that speed isn't everything?
00:11 >> Right, at a position where I thought speed kills or
00:16 speed wins everything.
00:18 I mean, I wasn't here the whole OTA, so I would pull up my iPad and
00:23 watch some of the competition periods of seven on seven.
00:27 And I just seen this white kid getting open every play.
00:30 I called up to Tyler, I'm like, who is this?
00:32 Who is number 19?
00:33 He said, this is Bobo, man, he's a tall receiver.
00:36 I was like, okay.
00:37 And then I got up here and I seen the way he ran routes and
00:40 the way he practices, he practices harder than me.
00:43 He's more detailed than I ever will be.
00:46 And I use that as motivation to practice harder and
00:49 make sure I'm honing in on more details cuz he's doing all the little things right.
00:53 And he's reaping the benefits of it cuz he's very consistent.
00:57 Every time he lines up on the field, you have to know where 19 is.
01:00 That's just what I'm gonna say off the rip.
01:03 And just me just watching him, I'm very curious on how he gets open every time.
01:08 So I asked him about a skip release or
01:10 I asked him about what he see here or what he see there.
01:13 So I mean, he's just a unique player, in my opinion,
01:16 who's gonna make a lot of noise.
