00:04 >> Michael, have you met with the Las Vegas Raiders and
00:06 what's your thoughts on the organization as well as Antonio Pierce?
00:10 >> Yeah, I did meet with him.
00:11 I feel like that organization, they were doing a lot of great things
00:15 towards the end of the season.
00:16 I know a lot of guys speak highly about Coach AP and
00:20 the things that he's able to do.
00:22 And I was able to see him and meet him, a pretty cool guy.
00:26 >> What were your thoughts on Ryan Grubb getting hired by the Seahawks?
00:29 And if you talked to him and the Seahawks at all?
00:31 >> I mean, I actually didn't talk to the Seahawks.
00:34 I don't know why that is, maybe they know me, hope so.
00:39 But man, I'm super excited for him.
00:41 Him and Coach Huff, the things that they were able to do with us at
00:44 University of Washington, especially to see them get success at the next level.
00:49 I'm super excited to see it.
00:51 >> Michael, how have you been training with the Seahawks?
00:55 >> Yeah, I mean, I trained with him one time in offseason.
00:59 He's a great guy.
01:00 He's a guy that works extremely hard.
01:02 And I can tell everybody on that team, they gravitate around him and
01:06 trust them as their leader.
01:08 So that would be cool.
01:10 >> Michael, what was it like growing up in Dade City and Tampa?
01:14 And can you imagine getting granted by the box and
01:17 thrown to Mike Evans and Chris Coffin?
01:19 >> Man, it was crazy.
01:20 And Dade City is small, small city.
01:23 I'm a small city country boy.
01:24 So it's different.
01:27 When I got to college, there was a lot of cities and
01:29 stuff that I really didn't know about that I was able to visit.
01:32 So I'm super blessed for it all.
01:33 But if I was able to be back in Tampa, it would be special.
01:36 All my family is still there, and it'll be easy access for them to see me.
01:41 So- >> How far have you been
01:42 confident in your squad?
01:44 >> Say that again?
01:45 >> Yeah, in standout, how far have you been confident in your squad?
01:48 >> As far as standout, I don't know as far as standout.
01:53 I felt confident in all of my meetings.
01:55 I know in that meeting, I felt confident going into it, and

01:59 So I was super excited to be able to meet with every team that I was able to meet
