00:00In the 2015 NFL Draft, Oregon has another chance to break their program record of Ducks headed to the NFL.
00:06You just set the record last season.
00:09What does that say about this program?
00:11That we're building, right?
00:12That we're building something and we're getting better and better each year.
00:14And it speaks to our players, the work that they put in, and then the aspirations.
00:19You know, every guy dreams of getting the opportunity to play in the NFL,
00:21but I think it says that if you come to Oregon, you've got a real shot at doing it.
00:24I talked to Terrence Ferguson about you, and he said this isn't happening by coincidence.
00:28A lot of this has to do with landing.
00:31I looked it up.
00:32You have 28 players that you coached since 2021 that were drafted.
00:37Now, with your goal being to help others to get to where their goals are, how does that make you feel?
00:43Well, it's a great feeling, right?
00:45But again, I didn't do any of that work.
00:47They did that work, right?
00:48So a lot of times capturing a goal and realizing a dream is really based on making sure that you put people in position to be able to do that
00:55and take advantage of what's in front of them.
00:56And then they have to be motivated, right?
00:58So, you know, the big-picture dream, some of these guys want to go play in the NFL,
01:02but just as important is what's their career look like after the ball goes flat.
01:06You know, what do they do after those moments?
01:07And I'm going to be just as proud as some of the guys that leave here with a degree
01:10and what they're able to do with their degree when they leave Oregon as a guy that goes on to the NFL.
01:14Yeah.
01:14But as a Chiefs fan, you've got to be hoping that hopefully.
01:17I'm always hoping that a couple of our guys might end up with the Chiefs.
01:20A couple of Ducks, Kansas City players.
01:22Absolutely.
01:23Are you headed anywhere for the NFL draft this year?
01:25We'll still be practicing, but there might be an opportunity to be able to slip away to one of our players that night
01:30if there's an opportunity.
01:31Yeah, like night one?
01:32Yeah, potentially.
01:33Okay, because you have a spring game that Saturday.
01:34That's right.
01:35Yeah, it's still busy.
01:36We're still in the middle of it.
01:36It's still busy weekend.
