00:00A really good athlete, great dude.
00:02He's very smart.
00:04He's a competitor as well.
00:05He's kind of everything you want in your tackles and O-line.
00:08And he's been a great addition.
00:10Drew said that you were a leader while you were
00:12rehabbing in this timeline.
00:14What can you say about embracing that role
00:15while you're in the league?
00:17Yeah, it's something I felt was necessary.
00:20Obviously, we don't have many guys returning
00:22from last year's O-line and know the culture of our line.
00:26And so I felt like just being one of the guys that
00:29were coming back, I played a little bit last year.
00:31That was kind of responsibility, no matter where I was at,
00:33playing or not playing.
00:34And I just wanted to tackle as best I can,
00:38trying to coach some young guys or encouraging older guys
00:42and just being involved when I can.
00:45What have you learned from D'Angelo since he's come in?
00:48Yeah, D'Angelo's great.
00:49He's a really good athlete, super quick and bursts well.
00:54He has really great feet and hands.
00:55So I really like just watching him.
00:58And I also try to help him out.
01:01We feed off each other really well, I feel.
01:06How much has Zach Henning helped you?
01:08Zach's been great.
01:09He's my roommate.
01:09So yeah, we hang out all the time.
01:11He's been there with me through the whole process,
01:14the good times and the bad times.
01:18And he's been doing a really good job at center as well.
01:20So I've been happy to see how he grows.
01:22But a lot of times, he's one of the guys
01:24that I've been able to lean on throughout the process
01:26and keep my head up.
