00:00 >> What's the weekend like a couple weeks ago like since the Pac-12 championship and
00:03 just emotions going through all that?
00:05 >> I've been taking a break really like not a break but I mean I'm getting my legs back
00:09 and still staying in the playbook and just getting my knee having the same tolerance
00:13 of like breaking and stuff so it's been great.
00:16 >> Where's the thought process been knowing what your next decisions could possibly be
00:19 whether to stay or come back?
00:21 >> It's all in God's hands I mean, I mean, depends on how I do with these next two games
00:26 but yeah, I'm just gonna leave it in God's plan.
00:28 I mean, I think it's a good situation if I stay or if I leave so yeah.
00:32 >> It's fair to say it's all still on the table.
00:35 >> Yeah, 100%.
00:36 >> What's kind of going through the decisions to stay or come back and pros and cons on
00:39 both sides?
00:41 >> Not really too much.
00:43 It's simply just how I feel and just my comfort, just being comfortable with it so.
00:48 >> If you hadn't gotten hurt, would this even be a decision?
00:51 >> No, wouldn't be a decision but I mean everything happened for a reason.
00:55 >> What did you learn about yourself during that injury and just kind of how did you grow
00:58 off of it?
00:59 >> Just to be patient.
01:00 I was like I said, I was rushing back into things and I was trying to play so early and
01:04 play like right away but yeah, be patient.
01:07 >> You guys who have an opportunity to play in the pros and come back to school, there's
01:11 gotta be a really good reason.
01:12 There's gotta be something to do.
01:13 >> Right.
01:14 >> What would be the reason you come back if that might not be your decision?
01:15 What do you think you want the potential to have to gain?
01:22 >> To continue the culture in the receiver room and to play with Denzel and Jeremy and
01:27 the rest of them one more time.
01:29 >> How much of your consideration is draft positioning and all that?
01:33 >> I haven't even thought about any of that yet so I'm just really focused on the next
01:36 game and just trying to put my effort right there.
01:39 >> How nice was it just to be able to get back to the guy that you know you are, especially
01:44 in a high profile moment like that championship game?
01:47 >> It was beautiful.
01:48 I mean just to achieve the success and just to be in that moment with my team, it was
01:53 something special.
01:54 >> Was that first bomb?
01:55 Was that kind of the moment where you're like, okay, I'm back?
01:57 >> Yeah, right after that I was like, yeah, let's play now.
02:00 >> Tell me a little bit about that play when you heard it.
02:03 What were your thought process?
02:05 >> My spidey senses was tingling, man.
02:07 I seen the one eye safety and I was like, okay, let me go inside real quick.
02:11 And once I got the right leverage, I was like, yeah, money time.
02:14 >> Yeah, and just in general.
