relative athletics score. I want to talk NFL combine and

21
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,319
how Jack Kelly compared to the field, how Chase Roberts

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,280
compared to the field. And also I want to discuss,

Speaker 3: We go.

41
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:03,519
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, it's a combined season, which means we got

42
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,360
to delve into the data with your platform, Kent. What

43
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,400
is you know? What is relative athletics score? Give us

44
00:02:11,439 --> 00:02:15,400
a foundational approach for those that aren't familiar with your

45
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,599
your metrics, your process, your algorithm.

46
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so a lotive athletic scores. It score has been

47
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,240
around since twenty thirteen. We take all athletic testing from

48
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,479
players at the pro day and at the Combine and

49
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:29,199
their pro days, and we score it against their position

50
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,439
group all time from nineteen eighty seven all the way

51
00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:33,840
to the player's draft year. We do everything on a

52
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,759
scale of zero to ten, so it essentially works like percentile.

53
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,759
When you're looking at the individual scores, you just kind

54
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,039
of move the decimal place over one. We compile all

55
00:02:42,039 --> 00:02:44,439
those scores and create an average. The average is compared

56
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,719
again to every player at that position group. We can

57
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:48,120
put it on a zero to ten against. We can

58
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,719
get a nice clean zero to ten athletics score for

59
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,680
the players. It's all stop light color coded, so everything's red, yellow,

60
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:57,800
or green. The intention is just meant to create a

61
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,479
way to very easily under and how athletic a player

62
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,400
is when compared to their peers. Just at a glance.

63
00:03:04,439 --> 00:03:05,439
You can tell by looking at it.

64
00:03:05,439 --> 00:03:05,879
Speaker 1: Where they are.

65
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 4: You can look at the scores and understand where they're percentileized.

66
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,960
It's a really good way to just evaluate the relative

67
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,400
athleticism of a player.

68
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,719
Speaker 1: What have you learned about about this particular metric over

69
00:03:19,719 --> 00:03:21,400
the years, Like how long you been doing this, what

70
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,599
is your background and what have you learned about this

71
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:31,879
metric as it pertains to athleticism and eventual maybe productivity

72
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,240
or athleticism on the football field. Yeah.

73
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,319
Speaker 4: I think what people get wrong about it a lot

74
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,960
is they look at raz and they think, well, that's

75
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,159
that's like a determination of how good a player is,

76
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:43,759
And that's not what it's doing. It's just looking at

77
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,159
athletic talent only, and it's only using the metrics that

78
00:03:47,199 --> 00:03:49,919
we test every year. So you get this nice lake

79
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,639
for lake comparison where you can look at the speed

80
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:54,919
of someone be able to compare it one for one

81
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,919
for what it would look like for two different players

82
00:03:57,159 --> 00:03:59,000
because they all run the same drills, they all do

83
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:02,120
the same the same What's nice about that is for

84
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:04,039
comparison purposes, you can get a good idea of how

85
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,639
athletic a guy is, but it doesn't tell you how

86
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,400
good they are, And a lot of athletic traits aren't

87
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,759
necessarily covered by the drill that we do at the combine.

88
00:04:12,039 --> 00:04:14,360
So it gives you a good idea of what athleticism is,

89
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,120
but it should never be your b all end all

90
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:19,360
for anything. Sometimes you have a player who's super athletic,

91
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:22,439
but they've never played football before. We saw that with

92
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,399
I forget the player's name. He came from Germany, but

93
00:04:25,439 --> 00:04:27,519
it was on the Minnesota Vikings for a little bit,

94
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,560
a little bit. You know, he's super athletic guy, but

95
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,560
he barely played football. But if right Lions drafted a

96
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,120
player out of BC UP in Canada a year or

97
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,959
two ago, and that's the same thing a player that

98
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,560
has a completely different sport essentially, I mean, it's football,

99
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,759
but it's not the same type of football. So athleticism

100
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,680
is a part of evaluation, it's not the entire evaluation.

101
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,839
I think once people understand that, it makes it a

102
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:52,279
much more valuable tool because you can look at players

103
00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:54,519
who don't necessarily test the best, but you can still

104
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,199
find a use form on the football field. Even with

105
00:04:57,519 --> 00:04:59,839
any of their poor tests, because if there's the test

106
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,360
really in an area that they don't necessarily use, who cares?

107
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,959
Who cares? It's like, it doesn't make me a better

108
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:10,399
driver because I'm really good at finding the right radio station. Right, Yeah,

109
00:05:10,639 --> 00:05:12,720
like that's helpful in a little bit, but that doesn't

110
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:13,959
help me make me a better driver.

111
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,959
Speaker 1: You know, these are differentiator things, right, You're going to

112
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,240
look at two maybe same similar players and productivity, and

113
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,600
then maybe you differentiate by by athleticism. Is that what

114
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:25,160
you would say?

115
00:05:26,079 --> 00:05:27,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a really good way to use it. If

116
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,279
you have a couple of players that are very similar

117
00:05:29,319 --> 00:05:31,279
in skill sets and you're trying to figure out which

118
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,079
one you would prefer between them, it makes a good

119
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,199
way to say, well, I think this guy has more upside.

120
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:37,720
There's more to what he can do than what we've

121
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,920
already seen. We can develop him pass where he is currently,

122
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,639
whereas a player doesn't necessarily have that. Maybe they're relying

123
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,680
on their field awareness to be able to do certain things.

124
00:05:46,959 --> 00:05:49,000
That has a cap too. Maybe it's maybe it's not

125
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:51,439
the same ceiling that you're looking at for the players.

126
00:05:51,959 --> 00:05:54,560
It's also a good differentiator for scheme if you run

127
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,120
a scheme that really requires a lot of fast players.

128
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,399
You see that with the Chiefs. The Detroent Lions did

129
00:05:59,399 --> 00:06:02,240
that for a little it. You know, any teams that

130
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,759
you speed, they're probably not gonna draft the guys that

131
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:07,079
don't run fast, And if they do, it's going to

132
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,680
be for a role that doesn't require that kind of speed.

133
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 1: What's a good example. Who's a good example over the

134
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:17,040
years of someone that's not all that athletic or just

135
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:21,839
an average athlete, but a very very good NFL football player.

136
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:25,000
Do you have some kind of these iconic figures that

137
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,000
didn't test all that well but balled out in the

138
00:06:27,079 --> 00:06:28,079
National Football League.

139
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 4: Oh, there's always players like that. And that's another thing

140
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:33,839
I think people will lose sight of is that the

141
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,759
stuff like relative athletic scores not to find only the

142
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,800
good players, because you want to find those diamonds in

143
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:39,160
the rough.

144
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:39,399
Speaker 1: Two.

145
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 4: One of the best ones in the NFL right this

146
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,839
moment is a BYU player, which is Puka. Google only

147
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,319
had a five point one to eight. We know that

148
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,319
there's a possibility he was injured during the pre draft process.

149
00:06:50,319 --> 00:06:52,519
I wasn't ever able to confirm that, but I heard

150
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,920
it from a couple of different people. But even so,

151
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,920
his score wasn't the greatest, and he's one of the

152
00:06:56,959 --> 00:06:59,800
best wide receivers in the NFL when he's healthy. That

153
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,519
happens quite often at the wide receiver position because there's

154
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,959
so many different ways to win at the wide receiver position.

155
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,279
You don't necessarily see that from tight end. Tight End

156
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,160
kind of got to be athletic to be able to

157
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,079
do what they do well. Same thing with pass rushers.

158
00:07:13,079 --> 00:07:16,360
There aren't a lot of pre athletic testing and past strussures,

159
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:18,759
but wide receiver there is a whole bunch of them.

160
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,480
You see, the same thing for running backs. You know,

161
00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:23,560
a power runner doesn't necessarily need all those timing drills

162
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,240
because that's not really what they're there for, you know

163
00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:25,639
what I mean.

164
00:07:26,439 --> 00:07:29,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it's very intriguing. I think bringing up Pooka

165
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:32,639
is a valid a valid example. All right, Well, let's

166
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,160
talk relative athletics score now, as it pretends to be

167
00:07:35,399 --> 00:07:41,560
yu who are all time like the best testers from BYU, right,

168
00:07:41,639 --> 00:07:45,480
the best athletes in a combine setting coming out of

169
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,759
Brigham Young University with your historic your combine and your

170
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,839
pro day performances in front of it.

171
00:07:54,399 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I started looking into that a little bit.

172
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,160
And if you're looking at across all time, there's actually

173
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,519
two RAS scores. We keep one that locks in at

174
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,319
the player's draft year, and there is an all time score,

175
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,079
so we can compare things side by side. So I

176
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,439
wanted to use that score. It's not necessarily the player's

177
00:08:09,519 --> 00:08:13,399
regular res but the all time score. The highest score

178
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:15,839
of all time for BYU was Scott Young from two

179
00:08:15,879 --> 00:08:19,000
thousand and five. Even way back then, still tested like

180
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,920
a boss, and that score holds up over time. More recently,

181
00:08:23,519 --> 00:08:27,319
Chanden Herring, Brady Christensen, Blake Freeland. A lot of offensive

182
00:08:27,319 --> 00:08:30,720
linemen come out of YU that have really good athletic testing,

183
00:08:31,279 --> 00:08:33,120
and you know, you've seen these guys coming up for

184
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,399
a while. It's not quite a factory, but it's on

185
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:37,720
the production line somewhere.

186
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 3: You know.

187
00:08:39,639 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 4: Ziggyanta is probably one of the most well known guys.

188
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,960
Extremely athletic coming out of school and use that athleticism

189
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,039
to his advantage. He was very raw from a coaching

190
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,159
perspective when he was first picked up in the draft,

191
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,919
but a player that had tons and tons of athleticism.

192
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,679
Fred Warner had a nine point seven three. We're not

193
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,639
even past nine point seven three, Like this is the

194
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:02,519
top ten guys in the ninety seventh percentile. For some

195
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:06,759
of these guys, Taysom Hill obviously lots of athletic talent

196
00:09:06,799 --> 00:09:09,919
there went on to use that in the NFL. Kingley

197
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,320
Suwamataya another guy with super athletic talent. The school has

198
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,399
been able to produce a lot of really athletic players

199
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:18,440
in the NFL values that type of stuff.

200
00:09:19,039 --> 00:09:23,159
Speaker 1: It is. You know, you look at what BYU's done

201
00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:27,960
in like the percentile or just because traditionally Byu is

202
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:32,159
not viewed as like the athlete creator in the National

203
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:34,360
Football League, but you're looking at these test scores like,

204
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,519
oh wait, no, these guys are like the best of

205
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,440
the best. This is the lead of the elite. Do

206
00:09:38,519 --> 00:09:41,200
they have a branding problem with the athletes they're producing

207
00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:41,440
or what?

208
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,399
Speaker 4: I think the success has to really play out in

209
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,519
the NFL to get that reputation right because the fans

210
00:09:48,519 --> 00:09:50,600
don't really care about the testing as much as they

211
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,159
do the on field product. The diehards like myself, we

212
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,919
love the draft. We love following everything related to the draft,

213
00:09:56,919 --> 00:09:59,279
we love following the numbers. All that stuff really hits

214
00:09:59,279 --> 00:10:01,600
home for us. For most people, they want to see

215
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:03,440
those wins and they want to see the players perform

216
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,799
on the field. I think a lot of players that

217
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,080
come out of YU have been more rough when it

218
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,799
comes to their actual technical ability on the field. I

219
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,840
think that's where that development comes in, because it's not

220
00:10:14,919 --> 00:10:17,120
just about being athletic. You have to be able to develop.

221
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:19,720
One of the reasons that Zigiyanza had the success that

222
00:10:19,759 --> 00:10:22,120
he did was that the Detroit Lions at the time

223
00:10:22,159 --> 00:10:24,159
were running that wide nine scheme and he was just

224
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,240
such a perfect fit for that pin your ears back

225
00:10:27,279 --> 00:10:29,639
and rush the quarterback that they needed those wide nine

226
00:10:29,799 --> 00:10:33,360
ends to do. So it was that schematic fit combined

227
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:36,200
with that athletic talent, and they didn't use him pretty

228
00:10:36,279 --> 00:10:38,840
much at all, like they didn't at Byu. Byu didn't

229
00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:41,200
use him. How the Detroit Lions ended up using him,

230
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,559
but you put him in a role that he really

231
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,000
thrived in and he was able to excel at that.

232
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,159
And maybe that's what they're doing wrong. Maybe they're a

233
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,200
little bit too generalized. Maybe they're not making people specialize

234
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:55,399
as much as they should be. A lot of colleges

235
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,600
have this issue of preparing their players for the professional

236
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,840
football for being at that next level. Because they're concentrating

237
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,200
on winning, they're not necessarily paying attention to how can

238
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,919
we also develop these guys to becoming great professional football players.

239
00:11:08,279 --> 00:11:10,399
So it really boils down to what they're trying to

240
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,399
do with the players, and I think that BYU doesn't

241
00:11:12,399 --> 00:11:14,840
really focus on the professional aspect as much as they

242
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,519
do developing the players to be as good of football

243
00:11:18,519 --> 00:11:20,200
players in college as they can be.

244
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard to like have a same similar scheme

245
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,320
to run in college with like the supporting casts that

246
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:29,919
are around some of these high profile players or highly

247
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,639
athletic players. To make that transition in a linear fashion

248
00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:37,200
to a same simbilar scheme in the National Football League,

249
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,039
that's very difficult to do, Right, That's a tough thing

250
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:40,279
to do.

251
00:11:41,279 --> 00:11:43,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, that level of talent comes and hit you like

252
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,120
a ton of bricks, no.

253
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: Doubt about it. Kent Lee platty math bomb on X.

254
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,600
You had to follow him. He has created the relative

255
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,519
athletics who are aggregating all of the pro days, all

256
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,320
of the combines, putting a grade to the athleticism of

257
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,360
everybody that has ever participated in a combine. Why you

258
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,440
had a couple of guys s out out to the

259
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,679
Indianapolition Day and the Combine. Jack Kelly had him shelf today.

260
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,200
Let's break down who's performance. What stood out to you

261
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,080
about Jack Kelly.

262
00:12:12,039 --> 00:12:14,759
Speaker 4: Kelly I think scored as the third highest linebacker at

263
00:12:14,759 --> 00:12:17,360
the combine. He had a nine point eighty one RIS

264
00:12:17,399 --> 00:12:19,200
and that's with almost all of the drills. He didn't

265
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,559
do the bench, but he did everything else. He did

266
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:24,240
the agility drills. Almost nobody does the agility drills of

267
00:12:24,279 --> 00:12:27,600
the combine anymore. They do them very late in the process,

268
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,320
right before they do drills, and a lot of players

269
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,559
just skip the agility drills to do the on field

270
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:34,440
drills because that's where the coaches are looking, that's what

271
00:12:34,519 --> 00:12:35,919
the people who are going to draft them are paying

272
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,600
attention to. The NFL really does have a scheduling problem

273
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,399
with their combine. But even then, he did pretty well

274
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,919
at those agility drills. He had a ninety first percentile

275
00:12:45,039 --> 00:12:48,360
shuttle and he had a seventieth percentile cone, which is

276
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:51,000
very good for both of those. And the cone was

277
00:12:51,039 --> 00:12:54,679
actually his worst score at seventieth percentile. Everything else he

278
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:57,879
tested in was above seventy, above eightieth percent of they're

279
00:12:57,919 --> 00:12:59,960
all in that green so they're all in that elite

280
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,399
range that we consider for each of the TEP his

281
00:13:02,519 --> 00:13:04,519
explosive drills, which are really big for a lot of

282
00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:07,320
coaches for linebackers. He had ninety third percentile broad with

283
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,600
a ten foot five broad. He had a thirty seven

284
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,320
inch vertical, which is a ninetieth percentile score, and he

285
00:13:13,399 --> 00:13:15,000
ran a four or five seven in the forty, which

286
00:13:15,039 --> 00:13:18,200
is phenomenal for a linebacker. So all those athletic traits

287
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,120
that you want he was able to pull out. I'm

288
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,919
pretty sure he's the highest rated player from BYU this year.

289
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: Yep.

290
00:13:25,919 --> 00:13:27,759
Speaker 4: He's great. Kind of in the mid round. Should see

291
00:13:27,799 --> 00:13:30,000
him going in like the fourth or fifth round. Probably

292
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:32,399
he could sneak into Day two, but he's probably going

293
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,360
to go early Day three.

294
00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:37,399
Speaker 1: Love that breakdown. You know, you wonder if he's going

295
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,519
to just stand on all those times or and just

296
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,799
do field work at his pro day? What would you do?

297
00:13:43,879 --> 00:13:45,320
I mean, it doesn't look like he's really got to

298
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:50,000
prove himself athletically. He's already in the top percentile of athleticism.

299
00:13:50,799 --> 00:13:53,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, if any of the coaches, I'm not sure if

300
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:55,399
people are concerned about it. If any coaches have any

301
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,200
issues with strength, they're going to want to see his bench.

302
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,600
They're going to want to see what he can put up.

303
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,639
He has pretty arms compared to linebackers these days, so

304
00:14:02,879 --> 00:14:05,080
the bens shouldn't be that much of an issue. Shorter arms,

305
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,840
you tend to bench a lot easier. Just from a

306
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,879
physics perspective, you know, you don't have to worry about

307
00:14:08,919 --> 00:14:12,240
going up the side. Yeah, but you know he's I

308
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,559
would expect him to stand all his times. I wouldn't

309
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,279
expect him to rerun anything. He might rerun that cone,

310
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:18,720
I don't. I don't know if he's going to be

311
00:14:18,759 --> 00:14:20,879
as that, but it's plenty good enough. But you know

312
00:14:20,919 --> 00:14:23,919
how these guys are, they're super competitive. The same thing

313
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,039
is true probably with his explosion drills, even though they're

314
00:14:26,039 --> 00:14:28,360
his best drills. I would bet that he tries them again,

315
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,039
just because a lot of guys really want to try

316
00:14:30,039 --> 00:14:31,120
to up one up themselves.

317
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: Chase Roberts also went out to the NFL Combine. He's

318
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,840
got great size for a wide receiver. How did he

319
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,200
tested out? Per Relative Athletics score?

320
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: He was actually one of the lower rated wide receivers

321
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,240
in this class. At the combine in terms of athletic testing,

322
00:14:48,279 --> 00:14:50,639
but that doesn't say a lot because this this combine

323
00:14:50,679 --> 00:14:52,559
is kind of a weird one. We had a fewer

324
00:14:52,559 --> 00:14:54,639
people tested this combine than any of the other ones.

325
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,039
A lot of people want to say that the trend

326
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,519
it's not really this year is just kind.

327
00:14:59,360 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: Of a weird one.

328
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:02,039
Speaker 4: The thing that a lot of people are going to

329
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,159
point to is this forty yard dash time you're in

330
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,320
a forced explore. That's not very good. I think what

331
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,639
people need to realize, though, is that's also not very bad.

332
00:15:09,799 --> 00:15:11,879
Like that's not a terrible time. It's not great. But

333
00:15:11,919 --> 00:15:16,200
he's a bigger wide receiver, so he has other traits

334
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,559
that that teams are going to value, that teams are

335
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,720
gonna want. The speed's not that big of a concern.

336
00:15:21,519 --> 00:15:23,720
His explosion drills were really good. Both of those were

337
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:26,200
above eightieth percentile. When you have a bigger wide receiver,

338
00:15:26,279 --> 00:15:28,039
that's very important. You want a guy who can have

339
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,519
some burst and be a little bit explosive. He compares

340
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:34,039
very favorably to Kean Coleman, who came out a couple

341
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,480
of years ago who said some mixed success in the NFL,

342
00:15:37,879 --> 00:15:40,639
but that type of receiver, and teams are always looking

343
00:15:40,639 --> 00:15:42,720
for guys like that, guys that they can put up

344
00:15:42,759 --> 00:15:45,159
and go up and get some footballs. I think he

345
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,200
has a role in the NFL. He's probably looking at

346
00:15:47,399 --> 00:15:50,600
a later Day three projection. I don't think the speed

347
00:15:50,679 --> 00:15:52,320
hurt him at all. I think that that just kind

348
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:54,080
of validates what you see on tape with him. He's

349
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:57,159
not a burner, But what's really going to hurt him

350
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,320
is actually his linked the same problem that we had

351
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,879
with Jack. Kelly's arms just aren't very long. When you

352
00:16:01,879 --> 00:16:03,879
have a bigger receiver, you want them to be as

353
00:16:03,919 --> 00:16:07,840
lengthy as possible to maximize that advantage that their size

354
00:16:07,879 --> 00:16:10,720
gives them. But if you have it has good enough

355
00:16:10,759 --> 00:16:12,720
route running ability, if he shows good enough strength at

356
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,440
the line, I don't think that's much of a limiting

357
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,200
factor either. I think this is still a plenty athletic player.

358
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,480
He ended up with a seven point eighty one overall

359
00:16:20,559 --> 00:16:23,399
so far, still has the agility drills in the bench

360
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,279
to do. I'd expect them to do the agility drills.

361
00:16:26,639 --> 00:16:29,399
A lot of players that are bigger wide receivers, coaches

362
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:31,519
tend to want them. Skill's got to run the agilities

363
00:16:31,519 --> 00:16:34,679
to see if it's a weakness. Wide receivers almost always

364
00:16:34,679 --> 00:16:36,679
skipped the bench, so I wouldn't expect to see him

365
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:37,000
do that.

366
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you brought up Keenan Coleman six four, two

367
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,840
fifteen out of Florida State. He was the second round pick,

368
00:16:42,879 --> 00:16:47,120
thirty third overall. That's who your your athletic comp is for?

369
00:16:47,559 --> 00:16:48,320
Chase Roberts.

370
00:16:49,399 --> 00:16:50,559
Speaker 4: Yep, that's the one.

371
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,039
Speaker 1: What about Jack Kelly? Who did you mention? I don't

372
00:16:54,039 --> 00:16:56,080
know if you did mention who's your player comp for

373
00:16:56,159 --> 00:16:56,720
Jack Kelly?

374
00:16:57,639 --> 00:16:59,039
Speaker 4: I didn't, but I did have a good one for

375
00:16:59,159 --> 00:17:01,759
him too. He comes very closely to Drew Drew Tranquill,

376
00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:03,759
even even right up to where his draft projection is.

377
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,279
Frankle was taken in the fourth round. He's been a

378
00:17:07,279 --> 00:17:09,640
pretty good role player in the NFL. He's a good linebacker,

379
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,799
he's a starter. He plays really well. He's not a superstar,

380
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,039
but he's a good enough playayer. He gets plenty of

381
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:17,240
playing time. He's been on the Chargers and the Chiefs.

382
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:20,119
He's probably going to continue playing one of those guys

383
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,200
that's just going to grind out a really nice, productive

384
00:17:22,319 --> 00:17:25,119
NFL career. And I think that Kelly's going to face

385
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,880
the same kind of road to the NFL to convincing

386
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,680
teams that he has that value. He's just got to

387
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,200
grind it out and show that he can be a

388
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,440
reliable player on the field. Coverage is always going to

389
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,480
come up, especially when you have speed, which he does.

390
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,960
If he can show himself to be a reliable coverage linebacker,

391
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,440
then then teams are going to put him on the

392
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,720
football field because there's there's downs that you want guys

393
00:17:45,799 --> 00:17:48,799
like that. If he shows that his pursuitabilities are good enough,

394
00:17:48,839 --> 00:17:50,160
he's going to be on the field for the running

395
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,359
drills a bit more limited in that in previous years,

396
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,559
the run game is coming back like a mounting storm.

397
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,160
So maybe maybe that's going to be even more favorable

398
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,920
if that's his skill set. But I think that he's

399
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,559
got a role in the NFL. I think that's why

400
00:18:04,559 --> 00:18:07,160
he's projected kind of in that that early days three

401
00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:10,160
range because teams know that he has that ability special

402
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,359
teams abilities in another area that guys like this can

403
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,000
shine in, and I don't think there's gonna be much

404
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,640
of a concern to that. You get a linebacker that

405
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,400
can run a four to five seven, that's a gunner

406
00:18:17,559 --> 00:18:19,160
right up front. You can throw him right at there

407
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,440
and have him gun You can have him take guys

408
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,160
out very easily. He's two forty. That's gonna hurt run

409
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:25,039
of the that scene.

410
00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:29,599
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, let's go back to the Puka conversation and

411
00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,039
some of these VAYU players that are in the NFL.

412
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,680
Is there anything in his like athletics score that that

413
00:18:37,799 --> 00:18:40,400
would tell you, hey, this guy is going to be

414
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,640
a diamond in the rough When McVeigh and his staff

415
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:46,279
ended up drafting him in the slot that they didn't

416
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,960
like from a return on investment, for the quality and

417
00:18:51,039 --> 00:18:55,640
what they got in productivity, it's probably the best ROI

418
00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,519
in in that draft from that class, from where they

419
00:18:59,559 --> 00:19:01,960
got when they paid for them. It's not even close.

420
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,799
So is there anything in the athletics score that you're like, Okay,

421
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,440
like this was you could tell possibly. I mean, he

422
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,119
was a productive college player, but he wasn't like absurdly

423
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,680
politnik off type of productivity, you know, So I'm like, Okay,

424
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,319
is there anything there that you're like, Okay, this is

425
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,480
a good indicator of a great football player, productive football player,

426
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:21,680
even though he didn't test out in the elite to

427
00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:22,440
great level.

428
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,119
Speaker 4: There really wasn't, and you know, we have guys like

429
00:19:26,279 --> 00:19:29,200
Cooper Cup who actually test. His overall score was in

430
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,319
that same kind of right around five range. But Cupp

431
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,599
had that an elite test. He had an area that

432
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,079
he was elite in from a testing standpoint, and he

433
00:19:38,279 --> 00:19:41,359
also used that very widely on the field, So making

434
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:43,480
that projection was a lot easier when you're looking at

435
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,319
the athletic traits and then comparing it to the on

436
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,839
field ability. But Poopa didn't really have that. Excuse me.

437
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,680
Everything was kind of mediocre. His explosion girls were very

438
00:19:52,759 --> 00:19:55,440
middle ground. He had a thirty seven percentile vert and

439
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:58,799
a sixty third percentile broad, so they average out to

440
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,559
about five. His forty yard dash was four five six,

441
00:20:03,599 --> 00:20:07,720
which is just barely above bare average for a wide receiver,

442
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:10,920
so not very great there, and his agility drills were

443
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,839
below average for each of them. His cone was very bad.

444
00:20:13,839 --> 00:20:15,480
He had seven point three to two cone, which is

445
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,839
only sixteen percentile. So he didn't have any areas that

446
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,799
he stood out in any meaningful way from an athletic perspective.

447
00:20:22,079 --> 00:20:23,640
I think when you're looking at a player like that,

448
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,599
you're relying almost exclusively on the tape. When you're looking

449
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,640
at the testing for Puka, you're really just looking at

450
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,480
a guy who doesn't have enough. It doesn't have anything

451
00:20:31,519 --> 00:20:35,240
that's a significant weakness. His agility drills might be if

452
00:20:35,279 --> 00:20:37,319
that's something that you really wanted from him as a player,

453
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,480
but his explosion drills not being fantastic. That's not a

454
00:20:40,519 --> 00:20:43,039
green flag, but it's not really a red flag either.

455
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,160
Same thing with his speed. We know that Puka is

456
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,240
not a burner. He's not one of those super fast guys.

457
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,759
He's never has been. So having a middle of the ground,

458
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,279
a middle of the round speed isn't a big deal

459
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,640
because that's not where he excels anyway. So it's not

460
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,039
a limitation. So it's more that it isn't telling you

461
00:20:59,079 --> 00:21:02,759
anything negative than it is telling you something positive that

462
00:21:02,799 --> 00:21:03,519
you want to jump on.

463
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, I look at some of these guys like Tyler

464
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,720
Alzier and kyros Toni. They just got they just got

465
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,960
contracts right they they're in They they were maybe drafted

466
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,640
a little bit later in their draft class, but they've

467
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,200
been productive and they're they're great football players. Had how

468
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:24,240
did Tyler and Kiris specifically test out coming out of

469
00:21:24,279 --> 00:21:27,119
their pro days? Their combine performances.

470
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 4: Well, Algier was like one of my one of my guys,

471
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,559
and then you know, we talked about that when he

472
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,519
came out. This is the guy that I really really liked,

473
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:37,279
and I was super excited for him, and he actually tested,

474
00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:41,359
uh in a way that you don't usually see, and

475
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,000
when you do, it's it's a productive profile. So he

476
00:21:45,039 --> 00:21:48,119
didn't have a profile of some elite, top tier athlete,

477
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,079
but he did have a very similar profile to a

478
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,480
lot of very productive NFL running backs, guys that don't

479
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,559
have that elite speed, but they excel in other areas

480
00:21:58,559 --> 00:22:01,279
and they're able to use that in in a productive way.

481
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,079
You know, it was really exciting to watch him actually

482
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,480
find that NFL success because because he projected in such

483
00:22:08,519 --> 00:22:10,559
a way and we could actually see it. Uh, see

484
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:12,680
him get picked up again for another contract is really

485
00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,519
exciting because he get to keep seeing it. Who is

486
00:22:15,559 --> 00:22:16,559
the other one that you had asked.

487
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,359
Speaker 1: About, kyrist So there's tylarier than Kyris.

488
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, he just got signed too, that's right, Yeah, yeah,

489
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,240
and earlier to stay right Yep. His was a seven

490
00:22:25,279 --> 00:22:28,960
point Yeah, his was a seven point two two as

491
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,880
a defensive tackle. I'm pulling it up right now. I

492
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:32,839
didn't have that one prepared.

493
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 1: Okay, I went off because of all the pre agent

494
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,079
news that just occurred.

495
00:22:39,319 --> 00:22:42,039
Speaker 4: That happens. Yeah, seven point two is fine. So from

496
00:22:42,039 --> 00:22:44,359
an overall perspective, you're you're not looking at anything that's

497
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,359
super negative. This looks to me like a nose tackle profile.

498
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,039
He's got got really good weight, really good bench. His

499
00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:53,599
ten yards split's good, his broad's good. Those are all

500
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,680
all big nose tackle indicators. Didn't have very long arms,

501
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,079
which would generally be a ding against the nose tackle. This,

502
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,839
it looks from an athletics standpoint like a productive run

503
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,359
defender type of profile. Somebody that's not necessarily going to

504
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,720
be great side to side, but if you want them

505
00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,359
to take up space or barrel forward, you're going to

506
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,119
be able to get that. I haven't watched enough of

507
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,720
them to be able to say if that's exactly how

508
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,240
he plays. But from an athletic perspective, there's a role

509
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:22,839
for guys like this. There's a productive role for guys

510
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,720
like this. You can find a way to use them

511
00:23:24,799 --> 00:23:25,359
very easily.

512
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 1: Love it can't appreciate our time. As always, we invite everyone,

513
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:31,759
what's the best way to support, to you what you do,

514
00:23:31,839 --> 00:23:33,519
how you do it. For all of our listeners, we

515
00:23:33,559 --> 00:23:36,440
always invite everyone to check out the website.

516
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, the website is our as dot football. You can

517
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,319
go out and look at any player from nineteen eighty

518
00:23:42,319 --> 00:23:45,119
seven to today, where we just passed over thirty thousand

519
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,559
players on the website. I think twenty twenty six thousand.

520
00:23:49,559 --> 00:23:51,720
I think of them have scovers. A bunch of them

521
00:23:51,759 --> 00:23:54,359
don't cause they don't test. You can check out my

522
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:55,799
website there, that's the best way.

523
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: To do it.

524
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 4: You can also check me out on Twitter at math bomb,

525
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,880
and I'm over on blue Sky as well also as

526
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,160
math Bone, so I'm very easily accessible. I'm a little

527
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,519
bit less active this year than I am most years.

528
00:24:06,559 --> 00:24:08,079
I'm still going to be doing all the scores and

529
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:09,680
putting out all the work. I just won't be quite

530
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,680
as active on the socials. But social media and the

531
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,119
website are the best ways of support, and I do

532
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,720
it every year. Been doing this for fourteen years now,

533
00:24:17,759 --> 00:24:18,559
going on fifteen.

534
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,279
Speaker 1: Do fantastic. You need to hire an intern just to

535
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,279
churn out all the content on social media. That's the

536
00:24:24,319 --> 00:24:27,000
next step, Matt, Come on, let's go baby, we need

537
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,119
that social media content.

538
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's always been my mistake because I always take

539
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:34,160
on interns to like teach them coding and try to

540
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,640
find good ways to help them advance themselves in the

541
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,640
metrics field. But I really should have been working on

542
00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:40,519
the social stuff.

543
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: Just get just hired to do the social stuff. Just

544
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,599
churn it out, copy and paste it out there. Man,

545
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,799
that's what you need to put it out to the

546
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,640
masses and get people subscribing to your content. You did

547
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,920
great work. A couple of guys to look out for

548
00:24:53,519 --> 00:24:55,880
if they're pro days from BYU, so that you know.

549
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,240
I think Tanner Wall's going to test out extremely well.

550
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,480
Actually talent Alfrey could test out well. Moriy Bomba I

551
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,279
think is gonna kill it in the forty. This guy

552
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,319
is a blazer. I think he's gonna find himself on

553
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,319
special teams. Maury Bomba is a guy to look out for.

554
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,119
And then I think Isaiah Jada as well as gonna

555
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,759
test out really well. Good athlete, really good ath To

556
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,039
keep an eye on those guys when they pop up

557
00:25:18,039 --> 00:25:18,799
for their pro days.

558
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,519
Speaker 4: We'll do for sure, all.

559
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:23,960

560
00:25:24,039 --> 00:25:24,799

Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on man, appreciate you all right.

562
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 1: The math bomb can't leave platty. We'll call that a segment,

650
00:29:45,759 --> 00:29:50,240
let's get to know Kyler. Casper very intrigued by him. Kyler,

651
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,480
what sold you on coming to BYU out of the

652
00:29:53,519 --> 00:29:54,240
transfer portal?

653
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,880
Speaker 6: Well, first things first, the quorter move was quick high school, right,

654
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,240
So I had a couple of visits lined up.

655
00:30:04,359 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 3: I ended up coming here first.

656
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,119
Speaker 6: And you know, after I came here, just after me

657
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:12,519
and all the all the coaches, you know, FESSI, I

658
00:30:12,519 --> 00:30:15,839
mean every person in this whole university was telling me

659
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,519
how great Kline was, and then sitting down with him

660
00:30:18,519 --> 00:30:20,799
talking in for like an hour or so, I kind

661
00:30:20,799 --> 00:30:21,960
of knew it was the place I wanted to be.

662
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,319
With the strength staff, with Skyler, I mean, they got

663
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,559
everything that I need. And you know, obviously the past

664
00:30:27,640 --> 00:30:29,400
kind of two years, I've been a little banged up,

665
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:31,799
And I mean, I think that this place has the

666
00:30:31,799 --> 00:30:33,880
best opportunity for me to stay healthy, just the way

667
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:36,359
they run things and in the weight room and with

668
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,759
the training staff and all that. So after I took

669
00:30:38,799 --> 00:30:40,400
the visit, I had a few more lined up, and

670
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:42,440
I was like, you know, if I keep going on

671
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:45,160
visits and they end up getting someone, you know, the

672
00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,880
moves quick, I would have been frustrated with myself. So

673
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:50,079
I kind of just locked it down and and now

674
00:30:50,119 --> 00:30:50,480
I'm here.

675
00:30:50,559 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 1: So so does this story kind of feel sort of

676
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:01,359
like boss to you, Ronald, you know where I'm going

677
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,400
with this a little bit? Yes? With this number way.

678
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,359
Keanu came onto our show and like kind of like

679
00:31:06,359 --> 00:31:08,359
elaborated on some of the reasons why, like by he

680
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,039
was the place, and he mentioned went out of his

681
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:13,960
way to talk about like injuries and health and strength

682
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,720
and conditioning, uh and uh, all of those things that

683
00:31:17,839 --> 00:31:19,880
Kyler just went into. I think that was a big,

684
00:31:20,319 --> 00:31:25,359
big component. Obviously mentioned the relationships, the vibe, Killane Fesci

685
00:31:25,759 --> 00:31:29,319
everyone at this university. All those things stood out to him.

686
00:31:29,319 --> 00:31:30,759
But I thought it was interesting that he went into

687
00:31:30,839 --> 00:31:33,000
depth with the strength and editioning and health side of

688
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,759
things because he's been injured. He's been tinged up at

689
00:31:35,759 --> 00:31:36,720
Oregon for so long.

690
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:39,279
Speaker 7: Yeah, when we had Keanu come on and we put

691
00:31:39,319 --> 00:31:41,559
the request in, Keanu said, yeah, you know, the strength

692
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:44,160
and conditioning guy's doctor Skyler Man. It's interesting that two

693
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,440
guys been in back to back years out of the

694
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,240
transportal have mentioned the BAeA strength and conditioning staff. And

695
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,400
there's no secret guys have been healthy a lot. Ben

696
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,880
I mean, that's one of the reasons why BAU has

697
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,200
been successful, not just because of the talented players in

698
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:00,000
the scheme, is the availability of the talented star players.

699
00:32:00,119 --> 00:32:02,079
You have to be available and you have to make plays.

700
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:04,359
And Keanu was intrigued by that. He said, he played

701
00:32:04,359 --> 00:32:08,039
what thirteen games last year, eleven games? Like he said,

702
00:32:08,079 --> 00:32:09,920
that was double more than what he played in Utah.

703
00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:12,319
He just said that two weeks ago at the start

704
00:32:12,359 --> 00:32:15,319
of springball. So that is one of the attractive reasons.

705
00:32:15,319 --> 00:32:18,079
And KYLEI Casper, who I'm teasing a little bit, will

706
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,240
discuss his health. He has been dinged up and probably

707
00:32:21,319 --> 00:32:24,200
you know said, Okay, where's the place that guys are healthy?

708
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: What are they doing?

709
00:32:25,039 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 7: And that's why BAUS attractors so shout out to Kobe

710
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,960
Claus and doctor skytlan Man, Ryan Phillis and the boys.

711
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,480
They're taking care of the BYU athletes for sure. And

712
00:32:32,519 --> 00:32:34,039
Dan Willcox as well with the nutrition.

713
00:32:34,599 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: Yes. Indeed, Kyler the prodigada Chandler Zona via Oregon. Remember

714
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,720
he played in twenty three games at Oregon since twenty

715
00:32:40,759 --> 00:32:43,279
twenty two. He only caught six passes for seventy seven

716
00:32:43,359 --> 00:32:46,359
yards for the Ducks. His father, Kevin, played wide receiver

717
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,759
at Iowa and then in the NFL for eight seasons,

718
00:32:48,759 --> 00:32:51,279
so he comes from good lineage. He was a consensus

719
00:32:51,319 --> 00:32:54,319
four star recruit and a top three hundred player nationally

720
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,119
out of Williams Field High School. He was ranked in

721
00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,599
the top thirty nationally at his position by rivals. He

722
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,000
was number fourteen in the twenty four seven Composite, number

723
00:33:03,319 --> 00:33:05,599
twenty five in the nation, number twenty and then two

724
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,519
four seven Sports number twenty nine. Wracked up over thirteen

725
00:33:08,599 --> 00:33:11,839
hundred yards on seventy three catches and eleven touchdowns his

726
00:33:12,519 --> 00:33:15,160
senior year in high school. He was He earned first

727
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,200
team All state honors as a senior after catching fifty

728
00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:20,279
three passes for nine hundred and forty three yards and

729
00:33:20,359 --> 00:33:23,279
nine touchdowns. He was also recruited at high school by Arizona,

730
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:28,319
Arizona State, cal Colorado, Duke, Georgia, Iowa, Iowa State, Miami,

731
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:36,000
Michigan State, Mississippi State, MISSOI, Nebraska, Northwestern Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oklahoma,

732
00:33:36,279 --> 00:33:40,759
Oregon State, Penn State, Tennessee, TCU, UCLA, USC, Utah, Vanderbilt,

733
00:33:40,799 --> 00:33:44,640
a robust offer sheet, and even a rod A rod

734
00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,200
manched He's like, Kyler was a guy that we really

735
00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:50,240
liked out of high school. It's just we weren't. We

736
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:53,720
weren't able to really attract him. I can't remember his

737
00:33:53,839 --> 00:33:56,240
exact words, but we were kind of out of his

738
00:33:56,480 --> 00:34:01,079
league at the time. And the swoo the swoosh got

739
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,200
him right then Uncle Phil got him. Let's get back

740
00:34:04,519 --> 00:34:09,559
to Kyler. Casper's commentary from Camp KLLATEI. A Rod talks

741
00:34:09,559 --> 00:34:11,519
about your relationship in high school. How important are those

742
00:34:11,519 --> 00:34:14,840
relationships when making decisions coming out of the portal?

743
00:34:16,119 --> 00:34:18,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I mean it is important.

744
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:19,079
Speaker 1: You know.

745
00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:22,599
Speaker 6: I remember being recruited by FESSI and actually behind the

746
00:34:22,599 --> 00:34:24,760
camera here Tason is making a face at me and

747
00:34:24,800 --> 00:34:27,239
that it was my biggest connection because he was my

748
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:30,000
quarterback in seven on seven with tusson turn back in

749
00:34:30,039 --> 00:34:32,440
the day. So you know, once I hit the portal,

750
00:34:32,920 --> 00:34:35,760
he was the first person I talked to from here

751
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:39,119
and then got me in touch with everybody else. But yeah,

752
00:34:39,119 --> 00:34:41,000
that was a huge connection as well to have that,

753
00:34:41,519 --> 00:34:43,519
have that, you know, a friend here and kind of

754
00:34:43,559 --> 00:34:46,519
get me a rundown on how things go and all that.

755
00:34:46,599 --> 00:34:54,519
Speaker 1: So Trasonborg gave for the win for the w Right Ronald,

756
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:58,400
you whispered in my ear. You know, it was the

757
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,840
whole conversation. Maybe it's justin Kirklin coming from Oklahoma State

758
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:07,280
UA because of the connectivity between his teammates. Trayson borgaye

759
00:35:07,559 --> 00:35:10,119
seven on seven teammate of Kyler Casper, I imagine that

760
00:35:10,519 --> 00:35:14,000
played a little bit of a role to get some

761
00:35:14,199 --> 00:35:16,920
intrigue to come Kyler's way. One hundred percent.

762
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,519
Speaker 7: When you play with the guy had been before, you

763
00:35:18,559 --> 00:35:21,400
know what he's capable of, and you've seen him play,

764
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,760
you know, in person on tape, and then you know

765
00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,719
when that school is doing well from a national level

766
00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:29,800
and you're seeing them like Kyler's cing BYU and the

767
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:32,320
College Football playoff rankings, he's seeing him in the Big

768
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:34,960
twelve Championship, game, and he's like, yeah, that's something I

769
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,280
want to be a part of, you know, when you're

770
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:39,719
looking maybe for your next destination. He's got two years left, ben,

771
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,360
so he wants to make the most of that. He's like,

772
00:35:41,559 --> 00:35:44,599
where's the place I can go? Well, they're losing Chase Roberts. Well,

773
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:47,920
you know obviously the unfortunate situation with Parker Kings and

774
00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:49,679
things like that. Like you just you look at a

775
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:51,840
bunch of stuff where he's like, all right, where can

776
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,840
I fit in a this is the best place And

777
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,639
then he said it FESTI recruited him, so he had

778
00:35:56,679 --> 00:35:58,760
that previous relationship and that's what it comes down to.

779
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:00,639
That's why Keanu was at BA. You've been strength and

780
00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:03,800
conditioning staff, but most importantly the relationships.

781
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:08,559
Speaker 1: Yeah it matters, no doubt about it. Kyler Cashper. Uh,

782
00:36:08,599 --> 00:36:11,039
you had a few injuries along the way. How are

783
00:36:11,039 --> 00:36:12,440
you feeling health wise right now?

784
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,159
Speaker 3: I'm feeling great. I'm one hundred percent.

785
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:20,760
Speaker 6: Just last this last one, it wasn't as major as

786
00:36:20,519 --> 00:36:23,280
the first, like the first, you know, real surgery I

787
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:25,800
had on it. It was more of just a little

788
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,400
like clean up but not I kind of had an

789
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,320
option to either just like rest it and see if it,

790
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:35,320
you know, got better, or do this small procedure. And

791
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,440
I ended up doing the small procedures because again, gave

792
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,000
me the best chance to be healthy. And I did

793
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:42,440
that and took my time rehabing and and now I

794
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,280
feel great. So yeah, I feel I feel great Now.

795
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,000
I'm one hundred pcent. I've been one hundred percent for

796
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,320
for about like a month and a half two months now,

797
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,000
and so yeah, I'm good.

798
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: Uh, do what details do we have on the injury?

799
00:36:55,519 --> 00:36:57,840
Do we know that? Ronald the three Man, I don't

800
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,880
think I haven't delved it. So I'll do a little

801
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,440
due diligence see what I can find out. And obviously

802
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,559
you'd rather have Kyler, you know, discuss what injuries you's had.

803
00:37:07,599 --> 00:37:10,360
But I don't know if anything's been documented from like

804
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,320
the organ side. Uh, And I'll get into that. But Kyler,

805
00:37:14,599 --> 00:37:17,400
what are you looking to accomplish in springball?

806
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 3: Should just just make plays? Should just just make plays?

807
00:37:25,519 --> 00:37:25,679
Speaker 1: You know?

808
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,559
Speaker 6: Just so, Like I already had a bunch of guys

809
00:37:28,599 --> 00:37:30,000
come up to me. I was like, man, I ain't

810
00:37:30,039 --> 00:37:32,599
know you can move like that? Like I didn't think

811
00:37:32,639 --> 00:37:35,039
I'm They're like, I haven't seen tall guys move like that.

812
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,079
Just running a rout, so short routs and intermediate routs

813
00:37:38,119 --> 00:37:40,079
and all that stuff. So you know, I think just

814
00:37:40,119 --> 00:37:44,000
showing I can do more than like says and whatnot,

815
00:37:44,199 --> 00:37:46,679
just and just showing just like I can play football.

816
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,159
Speaker 3: Man, I just need to do used to be happier.

817
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,239
Now I'm here, so you know, I'm excited.

818
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: So I was able to find out a little bit here.

819
00:37:56,159 --> 00:37:59,480
Also what you know comment on on that, Uh what

820
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:02,400
what are you looking to accomplish? Make plays stand out? Right,

821
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:04,480
He's looking to get into the swing of things, learned

822
00:38:04,519 --> 00:38:08,599
the playbook, all those things. But last year, this was

823
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:14,679
October thirteenth, Dan Lanning expounded on Kyler casper season ending injury.

824
00:38:14,719 --> 00:38:17,760
It looks like he sustained a foot injury that cost

825
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:20,559
him the rest of his twenty twenty five season. Dan

826
00:38:20,639 --> 00:38:27,079
lenn explained in his press conference that that Casper appeared,

827
00:38:27,559 --> 00:38:30,239
who had appeared in the team's first four games before

828
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:34,480
an injury cost him, you know, in the Penn State

829
00:38:34,559 --> 00:38:38,519
game and now the full season. So Saturday, Casper was

830
00:38:39,159 --> 00:38:41,840
listed as out for the season. He had an injury

831
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:43,800
to his foot and ended up having surgery on that,

832
00:38:44,679 --> 00:38:48,679
and so he won't be available for US unfortunately. So

833
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,639
now in his fourth season with the Ducks, Casper has

834
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,199
yet to be a regular contributor, catching six pass for

835
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,480
seventy seven yards to date. More than half of those

836
00:38:57,519 --> 00:38:59,920
came on a forty yard reception in the season opener

837
00:39:00,039 --> 00:39:03,920
against Montanna State. So he was getting into a little

838
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,360
bit more productivity most recently and was looking to make

839
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,599
a bigger impact until he was his season was cut short.

840
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:16,079
So anyway, Casper was out the rest of the year

841
00:39:16,159 --> 00:39:18,119
and he had two years of eligibility, So now he's

842
00:39:18,119 --> 00:39:20,639
coming to b YU with those two years of eligibility.

843
00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:24,280
Now getting back to Kyler, that's a little bit more

844
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,400
detail on his injury. Didn't it didn't realize. We didn't

845
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,719
realize that Trason was one of your quarterbacks in seven

846
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:34,079
on seven ball? Is he as legendary as they say?

847
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 6: That might be the greatest seven on seven quarterback in

848
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,800
the history. We never lost the game.

849
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 3: We were ridiculous. There was me. Yeah, we never lost

850
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:43,239
the game.

851
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,119
Speaker 6: Two years me was Jacobe Lane on the other side,

852
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:48,519
key On Graves went to Hostay at chow nine and

853
00:39:48,599 --> 00:39:51,599
cron Adams was outside catch and Michael Masunez was at

854
00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,599
I think Texas now and something. He was at Misigan State.

855
00:39:53,639 --> 00:39:55,920
So we had a squad and uh yeah, we never

856
00:39:55,960 --> 00:39:57,960
lost the game. Trason was back there slinging that thing.

857
00:39:58,079 --> 00:40:03,760
Speaker 1: So Tracing slinging that never lost the game. And they

858
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,639
had a squad down there, same squad, same squad, one

859
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:10,760
of the best squads in Arizona, it sounds like. So

860
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,880
they had an all star crew with Tracing Borga and

861
00:40:15,199 --> 00:40:18,119
Kyler Kasper and the crew. Shout out to Tracon Borgay

862
00:40:18,159 --> 00:40:22,559
for his pivotal influence in all of this. How much

863
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:25,480
does a relationship like that help you when you transfer

864
00:40:25,519 --> 00:40:26,880
to a new environment.

865
00:40:27,079 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 6: Now, Yeah, I mean it was huge, Especially like the

866
00:40:29,039 --> 00:40:31,400
first month or so I was here, I didn't have

867
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,039
a car, so Chasen lifts right down the street or

868
00:40:34,039 --> 00:40:36,840
literally a couple hoses down or apartments down, whatever, And

869
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:38,719
so I was rolling with him everywhere and he was

870
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,199
showing me around. We end up going to Park City

871
00:40:41,559 --> 00:40:43,239
having dinner there for a night. He just kind of

872
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,880
showed me around the whole area. So, I mean, it's

873
00:40:45,920 --> 00:40:48,519
great having him, but man, I'm here for football. I

874
00:40:48,559 --> 00:40:50,960
got two years lest so like as much as like

875
00:40:51,159 --> 00:40:53,800
this is a it's a beautiful place. I might offen

876
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:56,199
some people, but much nicer than Eugene. That's the sor

877
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:59,119
like I've been. The sun's out. You know, it's very

878
00:40:59,119 --> 00:40:59,880
clean place.

879
00:41:00,280 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 3: Here so far.

880
00:41:01,159 --> 00:41:03,039
Speaker 6: But I mean I'm here for football. I got two

881
00:41:03,039 --> 00:41:05,480
more years, so my focus is just in this building.

882
00:41:07,039 --> 00:41:11,440
Speaker 1: Shoot your thoughts. Your commented to that particular rhetoric from

883
00:41:11,519 --> 00:41:13,639
Kyler Casper Ronald the three man Weaver.

884
00:41:13,559 --> 00:41:18,599
Speaker 7: In the words of the Brandon sy Gourny who he loves,

885
00:41:19,679 --> 00:41:22,719
Hey shot shot through Oregon fans are it's gonna offend

886
00:41:22,719 --> 00:41:24,719
people to Eugene, but it's cleaner.

887
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:25,440
Speaker 1: Here's beautiful.

888
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 7: I say, Yo, did he just call Eugene dirty?

889
00:41:29,079 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: Look?

890
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 7: I mean, hey, the kid's words, not mine. I'm not

891
00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:33,519
putting words in his mouth. But prolos beautiful Ben. I

892
00:41:33,559 --> 00:41:35,880
always say there's two places in my life that is

893
00:41:35,960 --> 00:41:38,280
extremely beautiful. Maybe you can add the third ist one.

894
00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:40,360
I'm gonna say this because I'm biased. It's the Chicago

895
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,239
skyline in the summertime between five and seven pm, when

896
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:45,719
you're flying in seeing that city view of the the

897
00:41:46,159 --> 00:41:48,239
you know, the Sears Tower which I will always call

898
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:50,599
her by in Lake Michigan. And then Utah there's nothing

899
00:41:50,639 --> 00:41:53,519
like coming in on the beautiful you know, winter day.

900
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,480
Remember Presley Freeman, Ben, when we interviewed her when she

901
00:41:56,519 --> 00:41:58,679
committed to be you, what did she say? She said, Yeah,

902
00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,679
coming from Georgia, like the mountain in the snow, like

903
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,320
that was beautiful. Like there are people not members out

904
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,639
of this faith that come here that love the scenery.

905
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:06,079
Speaker 3: The League.

906
00:42:06,079 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 7: Moore has been on podcast Red Rocks Beautiful Salt it like,

907
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:11,559
it's so beautiful here. So, I mean, Kylee's just speaking

908
00:42:11,559 --> 00:42:13,519
the same thing. Aidon Robbins said the same thing, Ben,

909
00:42:13,559 --> 00:42:15,280
He's like, I got a nice backdrop when I was

910
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:17,800
at my apartment at Little Lake and then the mountains.

911
00:42:18,199 --> 00:42:20,119
What other view would you like? You know, same thing, Ben.

912
00:42:20,159 --> 00:42:21,519
I wake up in the morning, I come up the

913
00:42:21,519 --> 00:42:24,159
stairs and I look and I'm like, wow, American four

914
00:42:24,199 --> 00:42:26,039
K Like, I mean, I don't know what else you

915
00:42:26,079 --> 00:42:28,599
want to see? Man, So's it is beautiful here and

916
00:42:28,599 --> 00:42:31,159
it definitely looks nice for sure, and Utah.

917
00:42:31,119 --> 00:42:33,800
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. That's one of the the A's

918
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,920
iconic picturesque really nothing like the Wallstatch front, especially at

919
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,280
the clear edays, the clear spring, shuddy days. How do

920
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,519
you feel after a week of practice. Are you fitting

921
00:42:44,519 --> 00:42:45,880
well into the offense, Kyler?

922
00:42:47,199 --> 00:42:48,159
Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely.

923
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 6: I think they're doing a good job of using me

924
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,079
right now and kind of letting me.

925
00:42:52,039 --> 00:42:53,199
Speaker 3: Play my game.

926
00:42:53,639 --> 00:42:56,159
Speaker 6: And I don't think they're putting any limits on me,

927
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:58,440
whether when it comes to the roles. And I've ran

928
00:42:58,480 --> 00:43:02,079
some witch today and like they got me everywhere like

929
00:43:02,559 --> 00:43:05,239
so I think, Uh, I think I'm all around receiver

930
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,280
and I could be used like in the slot, be

931
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,159
used outside. Even though I'm a little over sixty six,

932
00:43:10,239 --> 00:43:12,440
I can do everything that a receiver can do. So

933
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,599
I think they're giving me the freedom to be able

934
00:43:14,599 --> 00:43:16,000
to do that showcase.

935
00:43:15,559 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 1: That versatile Uh and uh, he can do it all.

936
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,159
And I was told that he's got great top end

937
00:43:23,199 --> 00:43:24,840
speed too, so he can be a vertical threat. He's

938
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,199
got great footwork as well. I mean, look, you grew

939
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,800
up in a home with it in with an NFL

940
00:43:30,840 --> 00:43:34,800
wide receiver for eight years. That man has the skill

941
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:39,320
set and the talent to make a big impact this year. Uh.

942
00:43:39,599 --> 00:43:42,280
He's got the tangible tools, but he also has the

943
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:48,000
refined technical tools. Uh that that great coaching uh is

944
00:43:48,119 --> 00:43:51,880
uh you know stems from so Uh. I'm intrigued by

945
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,039
Kyler no exense for much about a couple last things

946
00:43:54,039 --> 00:43:57,480
here we as we begin to have a little bit

947
00:43:57,559 --> 00:44:00,360
higher expectation of who Kyler Casper is and what type

948
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,400
of impact he's gonna make. What's your relationship like so

949
00:44:03,519 --> 00:44:05,239
far with Barry. You gotta get a little chemistry with

950
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:06,199
him going right.

951
00:44:07,159 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 3: I mean, bear bears awesome.

952
00:44:09,039 --> 00:44:12,280
Speaker 6: We actually got the chance I think we uh connected

953
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:14,440
a little more when we went up to Portland for

954
00:44:14,559 --> 00:44:18,000
the for the little Nike thing we did with Skylar

955
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,639
Skylar Maine and then some of the guys, and it

956
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,440
was cool to be able to have two days just

957
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:24,840
to you know, really get to know him outside of football.

958
00:44:24,920 --> 00:44:27,039
I mean, we did some some stuff, but it was

959
00:44:27,119 --> 00:44:29,719
it was majority just to not focused on football. So

960
00:44:30,199 --> 00:44:33,599
I got to know him. He's hilarious. That's a funny dude.

961
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,840
And uh, I mean on a field, it's been great.

962
00:44:36,119 --> 00:44:38,320
You know, we were during workouts and what now we

963
00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:41,039
will come and get extra roles and extra catches in,

964
00:44:41,119 --> 00:44:43,960
you know, almost a couple of times a week, and

965
00:44:44,039 --> 00:44:46,039
so it's been it's been real good being a connection

966
00:44:46,079 --> 00:44:47,239
with him on and off the field.

967
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. So a few of the the players from b

968
00:44:51,199 --> 00:44:53,679
y U they were they were invited out to Nike

969
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,360
to do some testing. Uh and uh uh, maybe we'll

970
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:01,000
do a little follow up on that. It was pretty

971
00:45:01,079 --> 00:45:05,159
robust and I got to know their athletic ability. I

972
00:45:05,199 --> 00:45:08,639
think their VF two max, all these crazy things. They're

973
00:45:08,679 --> 00:45:14,000
at the Sports Science location there for Nike. Anyway, last thing,

974
00:45:14,559 --> 00:45:16,960
do you did you consider out of high school? B

975
00:45:17,039 --> 00:45:18,320
why you and you were getting recruited?

976
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 2: Uh?

977
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I remember a little bit of it.

978
00:45:22,599 --> 00:45:25,800
Speaker 6: High school so just crazy with recruiting wise, like everywhere

979
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:26,360
in the country.

980
00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 3: So it's hard to remember every little thing.

981
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,679
Speaker 6: And it was a little minute ago now, but you know,

982
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:32,960
I think I remember talking to Festi quite a bit,

983
00:45:33,039 --> 00:45:35,920
and I mean it was it was It was cool

984
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,159
that I already had a prior relationship coming into the

985
00:45:38,159 --> 00:45:41,280
portal with FeSi and then, like I had mentioned before,

986
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:43,519
with Tyson he was my quarterback in.

987
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 3: Seven or seven high school.

988
00:45:44,519 --> 00:45:47,159
Speaker 6: What now, So I had a prior relationship, somewhat of

989
00:45:47,199 --> 00:45:48,960
prior relationship with the program and all that.

990
00:45:49,079 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's good.

991
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:58,760
Speaker 1: It's very much relational. It's regional geographical. Like there's a

992
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,119
lot of components that led Kyle Casper to b YU

993
00:46:01,159 --> 00:46:03,880
it's a good get no doubt out of the portal.

994
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,800
