00:00 I was worried about this upcoming game, but when I saw that it was cool to be
00:04 recognized for just battling through this injury, coming back from the injury.
00:08 I'm pretty sure there's more focus on the injury, but just for
00:11 everything that happened this past year, it's still good to be recognized.
00:14 >> What do you mean, too?
00:16 >> I saw a lot of people winning, from Denver to here.
00:20 I saw a lot of good guys, great guys winning.
00:23 They tell me it's a great event.
00:24 So I literally don't know what to expect with any of it going forward, but
00:28 I'm just along for the ride and I'm ready to see what it's like.
00:31 But I just appreciate just being recognized for just having the courage to
00:35 just keep working, keep battling, come back from the injury that I'm coming back from.
00:40 And just having great trainers on my side that keep pushing me,
00:44 motivating me, even when it was tough, hard days.
00:47 So keep working, it was some hard days for sure, but just keep grinding on the angle.
00:53 So it was worth it for sure, and I just appreciate being recognized for it.
00:56 >> There's also gonna be the comeback player of the year.
00:59 Is there someone that you have in mind that you think should win that award?
01:02 >> I wanted it to be me, but I don't think I'm there right now.
01:06 But come back for the Packers, Rashawn Gar,
01:11 I think he's a pretty good candidate for, yeah, for Rashawn Gar.
01:18 >> Got his locker room maybe.
01:19 >> Who that? >> Baker.
01:20 >> I don't think a lot of people come back from injuries.
01:25 He was playing, he just wasn't playing, full time starter.
01:29 So I don't really consider a comeback player of the year, in my opinion anyway.
01:32 But Baker, most definitely, if y'all consider a comeback player of the year,
01:35 yeah, he leading us to the playoffs potentially.
01:39 And his numbers are pretty good as well.
01:41 So yeah, if he's a candidate, I'm most definitely giving him my vote though.
01:45 Well, no, no, I don't think that's, I'm not gonna guard him,
01:48 but cuz he comes from injuries.
01:50 He was literally not here last year, so yeah.
01:52 >> Well, he was mentioned as a potential guy,
01:55 there's also another guy, Hamlin from Buffalo.
01:58 >> I don't think I ain't seen him too much this year, but yeah, he was over,
02:02 he did come back, but even just coming back from that is a lot too though.
02:06 So yeah, I mean, you can't argue with that.
02:09 He was like, that's also a good candidate, great candidate.
02:12 And I probably would swing my vote to that just cuz everything he overcame, man.
02:17 To come back and still be trying to play football again, I don't know.
02:20 I don't know how my mindset would have been trying to come back from that.
02:24 I probably, I don't know what I would have did, but him doing what he did,
02:28 I think yeah, maybe him didn't guard, it didn't be.
02:32 >> Shaq, other accolades came out last night across the league.
02:36 Mike Evans getting selected to the Pro Bowl and
02:38 then one of your teammates selected as full-time.
02:40 So what were your thoughts when you saw the names up there?
02:45 >> I'm glad that Mike made it to the Pro Bowl, having a great year.
02:50 Disappointed that we got alternates for some of the other positions, but
02:53 that's just is what it is.
02:55 We've been in the league for a long time, we understand how it go.
02:58 But yeah, we should have more than one Pro Bowl, and
03:04 however many alters we got, we should have at least.
03:06 I think Tristan, Tweeds, or Antoine Winfield, I don't know if y'all know about Tweeds.
03:12 Tristan Tweeds, along with Mike, who else?
03:16 And then Vida, I think that's about right.
03:21 Who NFC quarterbacks?
03:23 >> Herdy, Dak, and Stafford.
03:28 >> I think Baker could be in there too.
03:31 >> What about Shaq?
03:32 >> Maybe over Stafford.
03:33 >> Shaq got 1500 purpose yards.
03:35 >> Purpose, who's the running backs?
03:37 >> It's CMC, Kyron Williams, and Swift.
03:40 >> Yeah, yeah, Shaq probably, I'll put Shaq in there too.
03:42 >> Not even alternate.
03:43 >> You gotta take somebody, y'all.
03:44 I don't know what that's like, but I'll probably take Kyron Williams.
03:49 >> He didn't make it alternate, though.
03:51 >> He wasn't alternate either.
03:54 That's tough, but it's just, like you said, it's popularity, man.
03:57 And we know as a team organization, we know what them guys mean to us, and
04:01 we try to express that to them on a daily with just the way we interact with them and
04:06 how they play on the field.
04:07 We let them know, we really like it.
04:08 We need y'all, and we let them know that for sure.
