00:00 >> Yeah, of course, me and Drake talk literally three, four times a week.
00:04 I mean, he's one of my best friends in the world, him and Dave.
00:07 And I talk to him all the time just to get tips from him.
00:09 Like I said about my brother, those are two great guys.
00:12 They're really great role models who can show you how to live the right way and
00:16 also train and work the right way.
00:17 And they gave me a bunch of tips on how it's gonna be at the next level.
00:20 So it just happened in my life.
00:21 >> Yeah, similar great effort from both of you guys.
00:23 That was something that always jumped out watching NC State,
00:25 the linebackers there.
00:26 Specifically you and Drake, the motor is sort of nonstop with that.
00:30 >> Yeah, yeah, I mean, that's just kinda how we're raised.
00:32 Both of us are really tall, and our parents don't really play when it comes to
00:35 stuff like that.
00:36 Tony Gibson just brings an energy and a passion to play,
00:38 if not many coaches can.
00:40 And you're not willing to go out there and play every single snap like he's left.
00:43 Left, right, left, right.
00:46 >> Thank you, mate.
00:46 >> Appreciate it.
00:47 >> So I was actually, last night, we met with a bunch of teams, and
00:50 I actually got to speak with Mike Tomlin.
00:52 >> That's awesome.
00:52 >> It was really awesome.
00:53 I mean, it was an honor to see him in person and get to talk to him.
00:56 But it was a great conversation.
00:57 >> Would you say his personality leads up to what everyone said about him?
01:02 >> Yeah, I would just say I think the Steelers and
01:05 NC State have very similar cultures, very blue collar.
01:08 And I would just love, I mean, any team that picks me, but
01:10 Pittsburgh would be an amazing pick.
