00:00 Morning everyone.
00:01 Morning JJ.
00:02 JJ, have you met with the Las Vegas Raiders yet?
00:05 And what would it get to mean to you to get to play with that team with all those weapons
00:08 like Devontae Adams, Jacoby Myers, all those guys?
00:10 I have met with them.
00:11 I met with them on the second day, so I believe that was Wednesday.
00:15 How'd that meeting go?
00:17 It went really well.
00:18 You know, I loved all the coaches.
00:19 They just, you know, have great energy, great questions, great interaction.
00:23 It would mean a lot to play with those guys, but it would mean a lot to play with any,
00:27 you know, one of the great players in the NFL.
00:29 It was awesome.
00:30 JJ, if you were to be drafted by the Raiders, you would be going up against Coach Harbaugh
00:34 twice a year.
00:35 What would that be like for you?
00:36 That would be a little interesting, you know, looking across the field and seeing him in
00:41 the baby blue.
00:42 But, you know, it would be an honor just being on that field in general, no matter who's
00:45 across the sideline.
00:46 But yeah, there would definitely be some, you know, nice emotional hugs afterwards.
00:51 What were your thoughts on Antonio Pierce?
00:54 Amazing dude.
00:55 You know, just asked so many great questions.
00:58 Definitely somebody I could see myself playing for.
01:00 JJ, there's a video of you throwing the ball at Blake Moore on the hallway.
01:05 I don't know how that got out there.
01:06 Yeah, it was a kind of cool sling shot.
01:07 Did you watch that this morning?
01:08 Definitely, yeah.
01:09 Blake was telling me, you know, he feels like he could have done a lot more in that area
01:15 and he's going to run some routes at Pro Day from the slot.
01:17 So that'll be another sight to see for you guys.
01:19 Have you had a chance to catch up with Coach Harbaugh?
01:23 I did see him.
01:24 It was right before my Seattle interview and funny story.
01:29 He walked in there, you know, obviously all love, all hugs and all that.
01:33 And as he was leaving, you know, the Seattle Seahawks guys were saying, oh, you wouldn't
01:36 be in here if Coach Carroll was still our head coach.
