00:00 Did you return punts in high school and are you still working a lot on that here?
00:04 Yes sir, I did do a punt turn in high school as well and yes sir I am working on a punt
00:09 turn as well.
00:10 You should be seeing me soon.
00:12 Right here, Charlie.
00:14 I think speed is something you're probably most known for but we've seen you kind of
00:18 lower your shoulder a couple times in season two.
00:20 How much of that physicality is something you take pride in?
00:23 Yes sir, coming from the south, I'm from Georgia, physicality is kind of something
00:28 that's instilled in you as young.
00:30 Even though you might say I'm not the biggest wide receiver, I play as if I was 6'4" or
00:35 200 pounds.
00:36 There's no doubt that playing big is the most key part.
00:39 Thank you.
00:41 On the deep ball topic, because of the arm that Jalen has, what is your mindset when
00:48 you know the ball might be coming to you or there's an opportunity for you to either stick
00:52 with it, get open more, what's your mindset with all that?
00:55 My mindset on the deep route is to run as fast as I can down the field and put my trust
01:00 in Jalen in order to get the ball out there.
01:02 Honestly, I believe in myself as well, I just go out there and make the play.
01:05 Just getting to the spot on the right time is a big part of the play.
01:10 It's a deep pass as well.
01:12 Anything else?
01:14 Yeah, are you the fastest guy on this team?
01:17 Yes sir, I was the fastest guy on the team.
01:20 Joe?
01:22 Coach Saban said the first two plays after the halftime were scripted plays.
01:27 In the locker room, while that's getting planned out, you must realize that your number is
01:32 getting called in a big spot.
01:34 What's your mindset knowing that Alabama is down points and you're about to be up for
01:38 a big opportunity?
01:40 My mom always told me when I was young, big time players make big time plays.
01:43 So just going there and believing in my training, I've done my whole life, and just knowing
01:48 I'm capable of going there and making a big play to save this game, really what stuck with me.
01:54 Anything else?
01:56 No problem, appreciate it.
