00:00When you made the request for a trade did you hope or have an idea that the Steelers might be interested in kind of what
00:06Was your reaction when you found out for the first time that that was an option wasn't play?
00:10Yes, man
00:11I felt ecstatic just to hear about the Steelers because I thought back to to the meeting man coach Tomlin had
00:18At the 2019 combine and he just always spoke volumes into me and spoke of you know
00:24My play style in college and you know, just being in the league and going up to him
00:29Before after a game and he you know kept that same
00:32You know rapport with me and you know, it just felt like the right decision for me
00:38I mean everything comes full circle, you know in this league or you know in life and it just felt right
00:44You know just hearing his voice again and you know, just seeing that same excitement from the combine to six years later
00:50He sees the type of player that I am. He's a football guru. He watches him and you know, my play style
00:55You know, I think jumps off the tape to him
00:58So, you know just to be in the same realm or an organization to where I felt wanted, you know was a big plus
