00:07 Definitely excited.
00:09 My receiver coach is over here.
00:11 So that excites me a little bit and just being with a new organization,
00:16 being able to see new things, be a part of new things and just be excited.
00:21 So I was talking with my agent pretty much the whole day,
00:25 going back and forth with the teams and when he called me.
00:29 We was on the phone and then he said, hey, they're calling me right now.
00:31 So I'm like, all right, bet.
00:33 And then he hit me with the, you're gonna end up in Chicago.
00:36 I'm like, all right, cool.
00:38 Got great talent.
00:40 I know DJ, hell of an athlete out there at a receiver and
00:43 just picked up a running back.
00:45 Obviously, the tight end is really good.
00:46 We picked up a tight end I played with last year as well.
00:50 So I just think it's gonna be a hard adjustment.
00:53 It's not gonna be too much though.
00:54 I did it in high school to college.
00:56 I went from North Carolina to California.
00:58 So I'll adjust and I'll make it happen.
01:02 Well, a lot of it goes to Kellen Moore.
01:05 He's a coach's coach.
01:07 He knows what he's doing.
01:08 He's played the game.
01:09 He's briefly played the game, just got out of the game.
01:12 And he knows it real well and he's able to put guys in motion,
01:16 put guys in position to beat himself.
01:18 Hell of an athlete.
01:20 Obviously, he can make tremendous plays with his feet, with his arm.
01:25 Looks like he knows the game really well.
01:26 And solid guy, down to earth, chill guy.
01:31 I don't know much about him.
01:33 I think I just met him.
01:34 Yeah, I think I'm just a friendly guy.
01:35 >> [LAUGH]
01:37 >> I'm a friendly guy on and off the field.
01:39 Obviously, on the football field, I know the game.
01:43 I know the ins and outs.
01:44 I know the zones.
01:45 I know how to beat men.
01:47 I know pretty much how to play the game.
01:49 So I just think I'm friendly for the quarterback,
01:51 cuz I'll be in the right spots.
01:52 I know how to communicate with him.
01:54 And my body language is solid, too.
