With expectations flying high in Philadelphia, DeVonta opens up that last year's success doesn't mean anything and remembers the feeling of losing in the Super Bowl but not holding onto it come week 1. September starts a new year for one of the NFL's top tier teams and the young offense is balanced by some strong veterans on defense. Motivated by the leadership and talent of quarterback Jalen Hurts, DeVonta believes having another year playing together under their belt will only make the offensive duo that much stronger this season. Often criticized for his size being smaller than the typical wide receiver, DeVonta has never allowed that to hold him back and continues to let his play on the field do the talking for him and quiet his naysayers. Confidence is never lacking and rising to the highest when fueled by competition DeVonta is ready to take on the NFL's best this season and finds it a waste of energy to talk trash so it comes down to maximizing his abilities and outplaying his opponents. DeVonta also talks about the close bond developed while at Alabama between the wide receiver room and that no matter the different paths the guys have taken in life and in their careers, their brotherhood has remained solid. With the recent happenings of former college teammate and friend Henry Ruggs, DeVontaa talks about why it was important to be there for him as a friend during his difficult time and even missed a day of camp to attend his sentencing hearing in Nevada. DaVonta is excited for the season to be underway with high hopes for his Eagles team to make a Super Bowl run again and also looking forward to another big moment in his life, becoming a dad soon.

  Cause we're better than everybody.

• 3:24Channing Crowder?

  Jesus.

• 3:25Ryan Clark?

  Like, that's the, like, that, like, that's the thing.

• 3:28Channing Crowder?

  I, I agree with you.

• 3:31Fred Taylor?

  I'm trying to figure out who put me in a, in a, in a love suit. Like, I'm a fat dude on this show.

• 3:38Channing Crowder?

  You old, old man, most face.

• 4:05Ryan Clark?

  Man, Devonte, man, welcome, bro.

• 4:07Channing Crowder?

  Appreciate it.

• 4:07Ryan Clark?

  So excited to have you on the show, Freddie T, Chan, you know, they already know, man. Anytime I get another, another Louisiana guy boot boy, that's like the best days on the show for me. It, it was hard, though, uh, watching you in 2018, the second and 26.

• 4:26Ryan Clark?

  To a tongue of our little drops back at the 16 yard sack. You wide open. You catch the touchdown that introduces you to the world. We obviously know you as, you know, three from a meet, but that was the catch that everybody said, okay, this kid could be something in a wide receiver room that was stacked. Take me through a little bit of that freshman year where you really didn't get a ton of opportunities that brought you to that play to seal the national championship for the Crimson Tides.

• 4:54Speaker 05

  Uh, it was always, you know, be ready when your number called. You know, our opportunities were limited, so you had to make the most of them. So, you know, just being out there with those guys and that's something that Coach Lox had always preached to us. You know, I'm gonna throw you guys in there, you know, I don't have no control over when you get the ball, but when it comes to you, just be ready. So that was the main thing, just making sure I always stayed ready.

• 5:13Ryan Clark?

  You know, you stay ready, you realize you're wide open, but, and you know, you make the big catch. But throughout that year, bro, you chose to go to Alabama. You could have gone anywhere in the country. You go into a school with guys like Calvin Ridley, you know, guys like Ruggs and Judy. Eventually Jalen Waddle ends up committing there as well. You've always been in this stacked wide receiver room. How did that sort of family, brotherhood and competitiveness help make you a better player?

• 5:47Speaker 05

  I think it brought the best out of all of us. Um, you know, everybody was different in like the things that they did, but you see those guys, you see what they do and then you like, okay, that's something I want to put in my toolbox. Like everybody had their own way of route running, their own way of getting open, their own way of, you know, making things happen with the ball. So it was just kind of like, bro, you see these guys and like everybody excited for each other. And it's just like, I want to be able to do that. I want to put that in my game. So you just worked on it. You talked to those guys and everybody just helped each other out.

• 6:13Channing Crowder?

  Them big risks, you look at Randy Moss. God made him to be a baller. You know what I'm saying? You look at Megatron, you know what I'm saying? Like you look at that and then you start reading about yourself. It's almost like you willed yourself to be great. You know what I'm saying? You, you, you worked and like everybody talks about your mentality of like you got knocked out in some game. You were spitting up blood and you screaming, yeah, let's go. This that type of game. Where did that mentality come from? And did you ever think about that where? Your body, the Slim Reaper. Your body wasn't made to be on the Randy Moss level, but, bro, you breaking records. You putting up numbers like a Moss, like a Megatron, like them big boys.

• 6:50Speaker 05

  So like, my house right here, it's a fence, and it's a basketball court, a park. So, you know, I'm inside, I hear the ball dribbling, I go out there. Concrete, old heads out there. You go to the rim, you catching bowls, you hitting the concrete. Like, that's just kind of where it came from. And just always going out there with them, you know, Ben and Youngers went out there. It was like, oh, you ain't finna play? Like, nah, I'm finna play. It's my down, ain't nobody finna take my down. I'm gonna play.

• 7:15Channing Crowder?

  Even there, man, like, there's somebody else that was out there with you. But they ain't become six. You know what I'm saying? They ain't become the feared receiver that you are. And everybody always questions your size, but I read about it. You were like, the hell with my size. I'm gonna go out here and dog everybody. Six-two Kony in front of me, good luck. Like, but what, that mind frame for these young boys coming out? Because I've heard you say, young dudes, man, just keep ballin', keep grindin'. Where does that mind frame come from?

• 7:45Speaker 05

  Um, I think it's just kind of, you know, the people I grew up around. Being from Ame, you know, small town, this is kind of how it is in my town. Like, everybody was like that, everybody was hungry. You know, you had a lot of people that had a lot of opportunities to do what I did. They just chose the wrong path and things like that. So, it was kind of instilled in me, you know, in my community and things like that.

• 8:04Fred Taylor?

  So, your Joker tattoo right here. You're quiet, laid back. Everybody I've talked to tried to get some information. They say, man, he is so confident, but he's quiet. You know, he's soft spoken, he's gonna get out there on game day, he's gonna show up. Much like Joker. He pop out when he pop out, but when he pop out, you know what it's about. Why the Joker tattoo?

• 8:25Speaker 05

  So, I'm a big Joker fan. So like, Joker, that's like... That's my guy. Like, I love Joker. Like, my gaming setup is all Joker stuff. Like, I've always been into the Joker and Batman and things like that. So, that was just part of it. That was just something that I always grew up, you know, watching.

• 8:40Fred Taylor?

  Do you channel that Joker energy on game day when you get ready to attack those guys?

• 8:45Speaker 05

  Uh, nah, not really. I kinda be laid low, you know? Don't start nothing, won't be nothing. That's just kinda how I look at it.

• 8:52Ryan Clark?

  I love that, man. You know, being from Ameat and me having an understanding of just exactly what you're saying. Right? It's not, it's not a place where there is a ton of money that comes through. There's not a ton of businesses that try to use Ameat as a location to build up. And so, it does take people like you, it does take people that work their ways from people like, places like Lutzer and Ameat, to go back into the community and show that we can make it. During your Heisman speech, you say, you know, "If you're not the biggest, if you're not the strongest, just keep pushing, keep working." That there's no job too small. When you say "no job too small," is that what's helped you get through the adversities,

• 9:37Ryan Clark?

  get through the doubters, get through all of the people that said you couldn't become what you have?

• 9:42Speaker 05

  Uh, yeah, definitely. And the "no job too small," I mean, it's simple. Like, you out there on the field, like I said, opportunities were limited. But as I got out there and playing, like, the simple thing is like a force block, cracking and things like that. Like, we took pride in that in the receiver room in Alabama. Like, that's something that we did, especially us young guys coming in, knowing that the ball's gonna go to Calvin. We know that. Calvin, really, that's where the ball going. So, we get in there, they say to come in the box, we gotta go see him, gotta go see what he bout. So, that was our thing, just going in there, forcing them to put us on the field some way.

• 10:11Channing Crowder?

  Yeah, and it's funny, you talk about, I ain't know how to say it, I was gonna say a might. It's Ameat.

• 10:16Ryan Clark?

  Ameat.

• 10:16Channing Crowder?

  Ameat, Louisiana, 4,500 people, four square miles, that I read. Bro, that's the size of a pet store.

• 10:28Channing Crowder?

  You know everybody there. But then to go to win the Heisman and to go to be a top 10 pick and all that. What were the struggles from a kid, undersized kid from a meet? And now, the world pretty much knew you. What was that transition? What was that struggle?

• 10:44Speaker 05

  You know, me, all I kinda knew was a meet. So, you know, getting out, going to like Alabama and things like that, like. It wasn't necessarily tough because I was always to myself. So, I just sit in my dorm all day, play the game and things like that. But you know, I wasn't, I've opened up more. You know, I struggled a lot, you know, being comfortable around people, talking to people and things like that. Like, people say I always gave this like, leave me alone attitude. It was just kinda like, this who I am. I've never like been outside of a meet like that. Like, that's what I knew. Everybody that was there, like, our parents grew up together. So, like, everybody always knew each other. Like, I can go from one house to the next and like have no problem. Like, that's how it was around there. Everybody knew everybody.

• 11:23Channing Crowder?

  Did that contribute to something else I read? You ain't go but to two parties in college?

• 11:29Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 11:32Channing Crowder?

  Tuscaloosa ain't like that. We been to Tuscaloosa. Tuscaloosa is not like that, bro. You're an All-American. You getting three tubs in the first half of a national championship game. You can't slide to a party and enjoy the ambiance of being the Heisman damn trophy winner?

• 11:47Speaker 05

  Nah, man, that was, that was never my vibe, you know? The two I went to, I went to one after the Natty, just because, you know, water now. Just, man, come on, you gotta come out, man. So, I just went out. And then the other time, I think it was after the Natty, my freshman year. And it was just like, there was only two times. Big, like, stuff like that, that was the only reason. But other than that, nah.

• 12:09Channing Crowder?

  You're a small-town dude, though. And speaking of the Natty, if you are a young wide receiver, especially at the point you're playing in the national championship, only play the first half, go for 215 against Ohio State.

• 12:24Ryan Clark?

  Devonte Adams tweeted, like, if you gonna misspell my name, I want you to spell it that way. Because dude could go, for a young baller playing your position at that moment, what's that feeling like of being like, man, I'm doing something that he does so well in a way that he makes the joke that if you gonna misspell my name, that's the way to spell it.

• 12:44Speaker 05

  It meant a lot to me because that's the receiver I watched. I mean, him, Keenan Allen, like, those are the guys I watched. So seeing him tweet that, it was just kind of like, okay, I'm heading in the right direction. I'm doing the right thing for him to say that.

• 12:56Fred Taylor?

  Bama's had a history of a long list of great running backs and defenders, defensive players. Now it seems they have a history of amazing receivers. I saw something on social media that said Bama was wide receiver university. And I almost tried to argue that because Ohio State, they also produce a lot of amazing players. But with yourself, Henry Ruggs, Jerry Judy, you mentioned Kevin Ridley, Jalen Waddle, all these guys, where do you stack up in that group?

• 13:26Speaker 05

  I mean, I'm always put Julio first, like, as pioneer, like, that's number one for sure. Can't do nothing about that. And then I'd probably go on Red. I think just coming in, watching Red do the things he did, it was just like, he amazing, like, unguardable, like, I don't care who they put over there. They knew where the ball was going, wasn't nobody stopping it. And it was just like, it was so amazing to me just watching him run routes. And then I put myself, I put myself after that.

• 13:54Fred Taylor?

  Right. I believe that God, things happen for a reason. All things happen for a reason. You had an opportunity to forego your senior season. You probably could have went as high as Jerry and Ruggs after your junior year. But you came back for your senior year. And so many things happened. In the midst of the world being shut down, you got the Heisman Trophy in 2020, all the different best receivers awards, the SEC Player of the Year, which I think is better than the AP Player of the Year because of the dogs that come out of the SEC. Do you ever look back or did you consider leaving after during your junior year? Or were you gonna always come back your senior year?

• 14:32Speaker 05

  Um, I mean, the plan from the jump, I told mom, I mean, before I think about going to Lee, I'm gonna get my degree. So I still didn't finish that yet. But I mean, it was tough. You know, you got people pulling you this, this way and that way about leaving and um, you know, I, I had faith in myself that I was gonna, you know, like you said, be drafted with those guys up there where they was at. But you know, it was just keeping my promise to her, coming back, doing that. And then um, once COVID hit, you know, it was rough.

• 14:57Fred Taylor?

  Right.

• 14:57Speaker 05

  I mean, the doubt of going out there, not knowing if you was gonna play or not, doing all this training and things like that. But I mean, outside of that, there was nothing else to do. Play the game and train.

• 15:06Fred Taylor?

  And, and win the Heisman Trophy.

• 15:08Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 15:09Ryan Clark?

  You know, you had a ton of success and it's been so cool to just talk about some of the names that you played with at Alabama. It's not great for me, being an LSU guy, but just so much respect for all of those men. And I actually read something about you that it said you were the greatest college wide receiver of all time. So that would means that you were the best in any of those rooms. But I want to talk about one of those players, specifically Henry Ruggs, who you were extremely close to. And it came to mind when you mentioned the promise you made to your mother and how big you are on family, how big you are on brotherhood. He's obviously going through a very trying time in his life now. And you

• 15:52Ryan Clark?

  chose to miss a practice to support him. Tell me a little bit about why it was so important for you to be there for Henry Ruggs during this time when you could be more focused on yourself.

• 16:05Speaker 05

  Since day one, stepping foot on campus, like, that was my brother. Like, we um, we wasn't roommates the, the first year, but he was a guy that kind of got me out of my shell. You know, anytime I was just sitting in the room, he was the only person that really, you know, just came over and just came in the room and just chilled with me and things like that. And that relationship just kind of grew. After that, we were roommates. And like, it just always stuck with me. His family coming over, my family coming over, we all getting to know each other and things like that. And it was just, you know, every day, that was the person that I was with. That's the guy that I was talking to. That's the person that I trusted the most. Like I said, I had, I had trust issues, you know, talking to people. But he was the guy that, you know, I always talked to. And every, anytime something was going on, he was the person I was talking to. And he just made me feel like.

• 17:15Speaker 05

  I was family. With his family and everything like that, you know, I went down to Montgomery with him a couple times and things like that. And it was just always feeling like family. So since then, it just always stuck with me. And you know, that's gonna forever be my brother. So no matter what, I'll always have his back, even through anything that's going on.

• 17:30Ryan Clark?

  And then from rug situation, like, did you learn anything? Seeing what he went through, seeing that, you know, I'm just saying a bad night, bad decisions. But then now, you're supporting your brother. What did you learn from your brother?

• 17:46Speaker 05

  Like, one split second decision, like, anything can happen, bad things. And then also, you know, who's with you and who's not through tough times. Like, who's gonna be there no matter what's going on? You know, at the end of the day, you're still family. Everybody know, you know, bad decisions happen. But at the end of the day, that's still family. Not gonna just turn your back on him because of something like that.

• 18:08Fred Taylor?

  Have you gotten over the Super Bowl loss?

• 18:12Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, I'm over there. It is what it is.

• 18:14Ryan Clark?

  Are you overstepping out of bounds?

• 18:17Speaker 05

  It is what it is.

• 18:19Ryan Clark?

  You know, for you, and you talk about getting to that Super Bowl. One, the Eagles traded with the Dallas Cowboys. Now, teams don't make moves within the division

• 18:32Speaker 05

  Definitely.

• 18:33Ryan Clark?

  very often. So the Eagles had to go on, call down to Jerry, "Hey Jerry, look, we trying to get, move up from 12 to 10." And you were picked here in the first year. Obviously, Jalen's getting his footing as the starting quarterback, and you guys are working together, reunited. Then you go out and get A.J. Brown. The lasting memory I have of you is me breaking down the tape for the Super Bowl of what you do to people on the backside of empty sets.

• 18:59Channing Crowder?

  Right, in that matchup in the slot, it was just a place where you found a way to excel. Speak a little bit, not necessarily on the run to the Super Bowl, but how you were able to make that jump to 95 catches, 1,100 yards, 7 tubs last year, as opposed to your first year trying to get acclimated in the game.

• 19:20Speaker 05

  I think it was overall, you know, one, another year in the offense, and then overall understanding of the game. You know, I feel like my freshman, my freshman year, my rookie year, it was just kinda like, I'm getting to learn the offense, you know, you got your wrinkles every week that you're doing things like that. So it was just trying to make sure I was staying on top of the playbook and stuff. And I was just going out there thinking too much instead of just going out there and play. Year two going in there, I got the playbook down. I ain't gotta worry about this play, you call a play. I know what it is. They play a certain coverage, I know where the ball supposed to go and everything, I'm good. Now I'm just going out there playing. I'm just picking a DB apart before the play even starts. So, you know, understanding leverages and things like that. If they're playing this coverage, what they're trying to protect and things like that. So, just doing stuff like that just made it a whole lot easier on me.

• 20:02Fred Taylor?

  How has A.J. Brown, the addition of A.J. Brown, how has that helped contribute to, you know, your development as a pro?

• 20:09Speaker 05

  It helped a lot, you know, especially him being a bigger guy. You know, hand fighting and things like that. When you're running go balls and things, things that helped him get separation. You know, a different aspect of the game that I'm not used to, and things like that. So, not always having to be finesse every now and then, throwing a little shove and then things like that, just switch it up.

• 20:28Channing Crowder?

  Bruh, do you think I'm a bad motherfucker? Like, you're just so modest and quiet. He said it just now, you ain't listen to. Picking the DB apart? That's what I got. That's what got me thinking, like, you talk, you talk like I'm a bad motherfucker, but I don't think you'll say it, like, but nobody out there wanna see you. Like, as a receiver, but most receivers are cocky, confident, like, I'm the baddest thing on the earth. You don't, you don't wanna say it, but you feel it a little bit, I can tell.

• 20:56Speaker 05

  Yeah, I believe, I believe in that, I believe in that different.

• 20:59Ryan Clark?

  Why you walk on the line of modest? Knowing that nobody want to line up in front of you?

• 21:04Speaker 05

  Cause I just, I don't see no need in that. That's waste, that's waste energy, man. All that talking and stuff, that's just wasting energy. People go out there doing all that bucking and stuff like that, like, man, that's wasting a lot of energy, man. You in too many, you doing all this talking and stuff like that? Nah, I'ma chill. But if you, but if you start picking with me, then you'll kind of get me out of there.

• 21:21Ryan Clark?

  He so Louisiana though. When we say bucking, like, hey, you know, we fired up now talking about bucking.

• 21:28Fred Taylor?

  Hey, listen, I know what he want to say. My childhood best friend, train drew, Reidell Anthony.

• 21:33Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 21:34Fred Taylor?

  When Reidell came out of high school to go to college, you guys are about the same body makeup, the whole thing. And just like him, he said, you're a cursing motherfucker. Instead of bucking, you wanted to say something else. So he got it in him. Reid say he definitely has it in him.

• 21:51Ryan Clark?

  Hey, speaking of stories, and you can tell me if this story is true or not. One, Jimmy Smith says hello. Jimmy, he loves you. Like, I have never heard him talk about anybody in all of his years of being a bootlegger, like the way he talked about you.

• 22:06Speaker 05

  Yeah, that's my guy.

• 22:06Ryan Clark?

  Yeah, he said a team called Warzone came down, and they, his name was Stanford Samuel.

• 22:12Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 22:12Ryan Clark?

  And they were, they, soon as they got there, it was all put together from Florida. They started bucking with you early. And he said first, like, one of the first snaps, they busted your nose. And you ran to the sideline, kind of what Chan was talking about earlier. Ran to the sideline, and you put tissue in your nose, and played the rest of the game, and went crazy. What is it in you, man, like, in those type of situations? Cause people gonna look at you, especially then. They gonna be like, he slim, he quiet, let's try him. When you get in those sort of situation, what's the feeling you have that says, nah, I'm finna go out here and eat?

• 22:45Speaker 05

  Um, that's just that, you know, I ain't never shying away from nothing, I ain't gonna never run from nothing, things like that. And I think it's just kind of like how my mom and pops just raised me, like. Ma, I remember me and my god brother, we got into a fight. I tried to run inside, she was like, nah, go back out there and finish what you started. So it was just things like that, like, I ain't gonna never back down from nobody, I ain't gonna never run from nothing, like, I'm here.

• 23:08Ryan Clark?

  You quit football in high school when you broke your collarbone? Just explain that story. Now, I've read some, but I want to hear it from the horse's mouth.

• 23:16Speaker 05

  So, everybody in my family played basketball. Everybody, me and my grandfather was the only two that played football, and my younger brother and I. So, you know, I love hooping. That's what I grew up on, that's me, like. Still to this day, if I had to choose one, I'mma choose basketball. So, got out there, walked through, I'm just jogging, fell, landed on my shoulder, broke my collarbone. And I just told him straight up, like, I quit. My mom and my pops didn't want me to play football at that point. They weren't really bought into it then. They was like, we still want you to play basketball. So, they was with me. So, I was like, I quit, I ain't coming back. So, Coach Foster, who was my cousin, him and my pops stayed right by each other. So, every summer I go, my pops stay with him. Every day, he came knocking on the door.

• 24:01Speaker 05

  Homeboy, homeboy, come on, it's time to go to practice. And I had no choice, like, pops used to make me, like, go. So, I just used to end up going back to football and I just got back into it. But, I definitely had quit and said I wasn't coming back, definitely.

• 24:16Ryan Clark?

  As talented as you are, how you tripping the walkthrough and break your collarbone?

• 24:20Speaker 05

  I don't know, I don't know how it happened, man. Running, looking out for the ball, just fail.

• 24:25Ryan Clark?

  Hey, you know, you get reunited with Jalen here and maybe you had so many great moments. Your first great moment in college football and at Alabama was maybe at his lowest, which because of the way he handled the situation, became one of the moments everybody points to that says he could have ended up where he is. Now, getting an opportunity to see him go through what he went through in the national championship, having to transfer to Oklahoma to finish his career, and to watch him become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL, what's that feeling like for you to see one of your homeboys do that?

• 25:07Speaker 05

  I mean, it's amazing, man, you know. Part of the reason I went to Alabama was because of Jalen. Every time I went to visit, he was the guy I was with, him and Calvin. And, you know, I just always got that vibe that he was always about business. You know, you go other places, guys wanna, you know, go out to party and things like that. That ain't me, I don't wanna do that. Every time I went with him, it was watching film, football, talking, things like that, just chilling in the room and stuff. And then, you know, him being from Houston, being a country boy, we eat the same food and stuff, balling and stuff like that, like, the connection was always there. So, just seeing him go through that and then the way he handled it and things he doing now, you know, I'm very proud to a guy that, you know... I kinda looked up to when I was coming into college with his work ethic and things like that. The way he handled things and just seeing how it paid off.

• 25:51Speaker 05

  And like, you know, the younger generation, they can see that. Like the things that he did, how he worked, how he didn't run away from it and things like that. He just always trusted the process.

• 25:59Fred Taylor?

  And speaking about another one of your former teammates, Tua. Were you, were you concerned when, you know, the concussions were happening to him? Were you concerned that that might be something that could be career ending?

• 26:11Speaker 05

  Uh, yeah, definitely. I mean, you know, football is a violent sport, dangerous game. So, you know, any second it could happen. Um, and you know, it's tough when you see guys that you've played with that you definitely, you came in with same in the same recruiting class in college and things like that. And just going through that, you know, it's tough. Cause you always wanna see those guys go out there and do the things they've been doing their whole life.

• 26:31Ryan Clark?

  You speak like a person that's much older than you are. And it's probably why you only went to two parties at Tuscaloosa. But you're about to embark on the most important job, important journey, important relationship of your life. You're gonna be a father. And, you know, I saw the post with you and your girl Maya, and you're gonna have an opportunity to raise a kid, right? And, and be a part of that person's life for the entirety of yours. How excited are you about that?

• 27:06Speaker 05

  I just wanted to go ahead and have it, you know? I'm ready, I'm ready for it. Ready, um, you know? Just seeing guys like AJ, him and his daughter and things like that and how she acts with him. Uh, you know, she's daddy's girl. So, you know, just seeing my little girl being the same way and things like that. Just being able to, you know, cherish the moments with her. And definitely, um, you know, at times now, playing and things like that. Her being able to, you know, watch me play this, my career and things like that.

• 27:31Channing Crowder?

  You, you gonna, you gonna take her back to the woods? Cause your word is country, country.

• 27:35Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

• 27:36Channing Crowder?

  Chasing hogs, all that stuff. You, bruh, you can't take her. You got too much money to take her back to be chasing my hog.

• 27:42Speaker 05

  Nah, man, she gotta come get some of that country lifestyle. Man, got to, got to.

• 27:46Fred Taylor?

  Is there anything else that makes you light up like that? Cause when you mentioned just the, the joy that came to your face when you just visualize being a dad and, and, and having her be a daddy's girl. Is there anything else in the world that makes you light up like that?

• 28:05Speaker 05

  I'd probably say being at home, my mom, my brother. You know, I'm big on family. You know, my mom, that's my everything. How my pops and my younger brother, like, that's my circle, that's my everything. Being with her, knowing they did everything they could, you know, to get me here where I am now. And you know, the way that they raised me, I enjoyed it. It was tough. You know, they was tough on me and things like that, but you know, I picture myself raising my kids the same way. Because I mean, it got me here, it got me doing the right things and stuff like that. So, I enjoyed every second of it. Some things I didn't like, but I mean, ultimately, it was for what's best.

• 28:43Fred Taylor?

  And your younger brother, Christian?

• 28:45Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 28:45Fred Taylor?

  Christian, he's a linebacker and running back. He get all the weight. You grew up eating oysters because of Mike, right? A Mike?

• 28:53Speaker 05

  A meat, a meat.

• 28:54Fred Taylor?

  A meat, a meat. He wasn't eating no meat. But, a meat, that's an oyster industry, right?

• 28:59Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 29:00Fred Taylor?

  Yeah, so, he took all of the weight?

• 29:02Speaker 05

  Ah, yeah, yeah, he did. He's short, stocky. He weigh more than me now, probably. Yeah, definitely.

• 29:09Fred Taylor?

  I hear he's a player.

• 29:10Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 29:11Fred Taylor?

  Yeah? So, Bama, LSU, Florida, the Gators? We need some work, we need some help.

• 29:16Speaker 05

  I mean, y'all gotta come down there and get him, man. I mean, that's what you want. You want, to me, he kinda old school. You know, he a crash dummy, as we call him.

• 29:25Ryan Clark?

  I don't mind that.

• 29:26Speaker 05

  Yeah, he's a real crash dummy. Like, you put him out there, see ball, go get ball.

• 29:30Fred Taylor?

  Got it, got it.

• 29:31Ryan Clark?

  I'm glad, I'm glad we had this discussion about picking schools, though. I've been waiting on this. I was like, I'm gonna let him get comfortable first. Bruh, so, I respect it. You know, sometimes when Nick Saban comes to a meet and tells you he wants you to play for him, it's hard to say no. And they got jail in there, but you make the decision to not just drive right up the street. Your mom and them could see you all the time. Right up the street, we was just waiting with open arms. Come on, come on here, but you go to Bama, bro. And, for some reason, and you can tell me if I'm wrong, did you eat differently for the last two LSU games? Did you, did you practice a different way? Distinctively do you something?

• 30:14Ryan Clark?

  Distinctively try to steal one of your girls at high school? Bruh, you used to go crazy against us. What was that about?

• 30:23Speaker 05

  Alright, so my freshman year, I didn't play much. Like, so really no action. Sophomore year, I tore my hamstring the week before, so I didn't get to go into the valley and play. So junior year was like, okay, this is my first time actually getting to play. I'm like, I've been waiting for this. You know, I'm all hyping things like that. And, you know, I was just ready. Like, I did not want to be stopped. That's just how it was. But going into there, my senior year.

• 30:48Speaker 00

  Flowing ad budget on metrics that look great, until the CFO sees them, that's bull spend. And marketers are calling it out in Dashboard Confessions.

• 30:58Speaker 01

  I remember telling my boss, "It'll be good for the brand," when leads were slow. Yeah, it wasn't.

• 31:06Speaker 00

  Cut the bull spend. LinkedIn lets you target by company, job title, and more. Advertise on LinkedIn. Spend $250 on your first campaign and get a $250 credit. Go to LinkedIn.com/campaign. Terms and conditions apply.

• 31:19Speaker 05

  Going into Death Valley, and like, my family, I had probably 50 people there, all sitting in one section in the end zone. And then it was just like, this is what I've been waiting for. Like, to play in this stadium, this moment, this is my chance here. Everybody here, I gotta cut up.

• 31:36Ryan Clark?

  Tell me about the one-hander in the corner, on the post-corner though.

• 31:40Speaker 05

  I really didn't think I was gonna get the ball, because I knew they was gonna bracket me and things like that. But, you know, with Mac, Mac always trusted me. He's always telling me, man, one, two people,

• 31:51Speaker 05

  9-10, I'm probably still gonna throw it to them. So, you know, just being able to just go up there and make a play. Um, you know, it was just kind of in the moment thing. Like, you see it, like, you can kind of vision it as it's happening. Like, you got a chance to make a play on this ball, let's go make it.

• 32:05Ryan Clark?

  I've had young players on teams. Uh, my, when I got, I think it was year seven and year nine, we went to the Super Bowl in Pittsburgh. And everybody there that was young was like, "Man, we gonna go to the Super Bowl every year." Because that's what it feels like when you have this early success. You know you still have young players on your team that are really good. You're like, "Oh, we gonna be back next year. We gonna be back the year after that." But that's not the way it happens. Right? You gotta go out every year and prove that you belong. After making the run that you guys did last year, falling short, I mean, which is no, there's no shame in that when Patrick Mahomes is on the other side. How do you feel about this year's team

• 32:48Ryan Clark?

  and your chances to get back to those heights?

• 32:51Speaker 05

  I think we have a pretty good chance, but it just comes down to us going out there, executing and things like that. Like, stuff we did last year, it don't matter. We got a new OC, same offense though, but you know, everybody have different tendencies. So you know, just going out there early on, seeing what the tendencies are, getting familiar with it, and then just getting back familiar with each other. You know, we have new backs. You know, you gotta kind of adapt, how we're gonna use the backs and things like that. What are we gonna do in the pass game? Are we gonna run more vertical things? Are we gonna run more in breaking routes and things like that? So you kind of, training camp is kind of just putting the wrinkles out there. But once you get to week one and throughout the season, that's when you really see like what the tendencies are. So you know, getting familiar with the tendencies.

• 33:32Fred Taylor?

  And with that, you guys, you guys sent eight guys to the Pro Bowl last year. And we can look at your numbers and say, you should have been the ninth. What is it gonna take for you guys to have enough balls to get to you and AJ to, you know, allow you to make that your first Pro Bowl?

• 33:48Speaker 05

  I really think it just comes down to, you know, making the most of the opportunities again. Cause I had some, some things that I left out there that would have resulted in, you know, another two or three touchdowns and things like that. More catches, more yards. So you know, just making the most of all the opportunities.

• 34:02Channing Crowder?

  You have any hobbies? Bro, you just football, football, football, steam seven and all that shit. Like, do you, like you said, I know you love your family. And you just hear, like, hearing about this, always a tight circle, you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, say you let people in. But what do you, like hobbies and shit? Like to enjoy yourself, man. You can't play football every day, all day.

• 34:23Speaker 05

  Hooping.

• 34:25Channing Crowder?

  That's it.

• 34:26Speaker 05

  When I go home, I'm going home to hoop. Hoop and eat.

• 34:29Channing Crowder?

  You don't like air conditioning?

• 34:32Speaker 05

  Play the game, that's about it. Sit inside, sit inside, play the game, go play basketball. That's about it.

• 34:37Fred Taylor?

  What game you play?

• 34:38Speaker 05

  Call of Duty.

• 34:39Fred Taylor?

  You know Madden?

• 34:40Speaker 05

  Nah, I don't play Madden, man. Madden got too much fake stuff going on.

• 34:43Fred Taylor?

  Well, Madden got some real stuff going on right now. We, we in Madden this year. Madden 24 superstar mode.

• 34:49Speaker 05

  I might have to try it out. I can't, I can't tell you the last time I played Madden.

• 34:54Channing Crowder?

  Well, well, bro, you called your brother old school because he's a banger. You're old school in the fact that, like, back in the day when Fred played, you know, back with, you know, Y A Tittle. Y A Tittle and them boys.

• 35:07Ryan Clark?

  Yeah.

• 35:07Channing Crowder?

  But like, it was just football, football, football. Nowadays, bro, we talk to a lot of players. These dudes got fashion lines, these dudes got studios, these dudes got all kind of stuff. There's nothing, like, you were literally playing football or playing basketball all day long.

• 35:21Speaker 05

  Yeah, oh, inside playing the game. That's pretty much it.

• 35:25Ryan Clark?

  I'm glad you brought this up, though. Now, I love suits, right? They make, he makes fun of me a lot because I like to dress. But his buttons, his buttons on the side.

• 35:36Channing Crowder?

  It's a double breast. He don't know.

• 35:38Speaker 05

  He don't, he don't know.

• 35:39Ryan Clark?

  You know what I'm saying? The shit wrap all the way around and buckle on the ass.

• 35:46Ryan Clark?

  Hey, now, Devonte, bro, like, I am not built, let's say, model-esque, right? Um, I don't know what happened at the bottom of me, man, just, but you tall. He built like a woman in a little body.

• 36:02Fred Taylor?

  He got two drumsticks, right?

• 36:07Ryan Clark?

  You tall, long arms, dawg. Uh, I know Brian, you know, uh, here in Newt, that do your gear. You don't really have hobbies, but you come to the game clean. Sometimes you got the brim on, you got the joints with the belts, everything. Do you really, how much do you care about the way you step out of the car on game day? Because you don't care about nothing else it seems, but ball, but that, you stay clean.

• 36:30Speaker 05

  Oh, yeah, definitely. I care, you know, the way you look says a lot. So, you know, I gotta come out there sharp, like, and me and B, we be going back and forth. Like, if it's a, a centimeter off, I know, like, hey, B, it's a little too wide, man. We gotta slim this up. So, like, that's how I am about that, man. You know, that's something I take pride in, how I dress on game days. That's something that was kind of, we did in high school. You always did shirt and a tie on Fridays. So then, when I went to college, you had to wear a suit, and it just kind of was always with me. And then it was like, okay, you know, I got a little change in my pocket now. We can make stuff look a whole lot better.

• 37:02Channing Crowder?

  I'm glad you said that. Money ain't changed you at all?

• 37:05Speaker 05

  Oh, nah.

• 37:06Channing Crowder?

  Bro, money changed people. You ain't cooking, because I, I read, I read you talking about you cooking. I'm a big man, real man, because I'm a country dude, too. We cook, we barbecue, we can boil, all that stuff.

• 37:18Channing Crowder?

  They ain't give me no money like yours. They ain't give me but 700,000 up front.

• 37:22Fred Taylor?

  Ten.

• 37:22Channing Crowder?

  I went motherfucking crazy.

• 37:24Fred Taylor?

  He took a pay cut to come here.

• 37:27Fred Taylor?

  He took the pay cut when he got drafted.

• 37:30Channing Crowder?

  Oh, that was.

• 37:31Fred Taylor?

  Got that cheddar.

• 37:32Channing Crowder?

  Oh, yeah, but money gotta change. I don't care where you from. I don't care what you do. I don't care how country, I don't care where you live. Money gotta do something to you.

• 37:40Speaker 05

  Nah.

• 37:43Channing Crowder?

  Nothing at all. You still getting a sedan at the rental car place? Are you getting an SUV?

• 37:48Speaker 05

  I'm a Uber. I'm a Uber. I'm not even going rent. I'm just going Uber everywhere.

• 37:53Channing Crowder?

  Really?

• 37:54Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 37:55Ryan Clark?

  You gotta go to Ameat to really, really know what that's like.

• 38:00Channing Crowder?

  I'd have bought Ameat if I was Tey. I'd have bought Ameat. Ameat can't be but a 1.5.

• 38:09Fred Taylor?

  He get the whole thing, like Monopoly.

• 38:12Channing Crowder?

  Devonte, Louisiana.

• 38:15Fred Taylor?

  Colonized the whole thing.

• 38:18Ryan Clark?

  Bro, when it's, this is a different place from whether it's Ameat, Tuscaloosa, right? The Philadelphia fans are a different level of fans. I remember being, I've been to both Super Bowls that they've been in recently. But when they went to the first one, Dreams and Nightmares played in the stadium at the Super Bowl. I was like, is this a Philadelphia Eagles home game? And it's still the same thing when you guys play at home. What has the reception been like here by the fans for this team and for you personally?

• 38:57Speaker 05

  I kinda seen it as like, you doing what you're supposed to do? They gonna love you. You ain't doing what you're supposed to do? They gonna let you know. So, you know, just come out here and just do your job. That's all, you know? Everybody that's a Philly fan, nine times out of 10, they from Philly. Like, there's no Philly fans from nowhere else. They live, breathe Philadelphia. From the Flyers to the Sixers to us, like, that's all they know is Philadelphia. So, they take pride in it. And I can understand them, you know, being hard on some players and things like that. Because at the end of the day, all they want you to do is just go out there and win for the city.

• 39:34Fred Taylor?

  It's because you don't go anywhere. You always home. Is there a favorite restaurant or a place you like to order from on Uber Eats?

• 39:41Speaker 05

  Nah, I got a hibachi place around the corner from where I stay, so I go over there. During the season, I go every Friday.

• 39:47Ryan Clark?

  Bro, you might be the simplest dude we've ever sat with.

• 39:50Speaker 05

  Love it.

• 39:51Ryan Clark?

  Like, straight up. So, there's no way, right, that a kid from a meet walks on campus and goes, when he walks on campus and he's in the room with the Calvin Ridley's and all of these great wide receivers, he says, "You know what? I'm gonna be the one to catch the game-winning touchdown in the college football playoff natty. That's gonna, I'm gonna be that guy they throw it to." But you were. There's no way when you make that decision and you look around that room, and it's the famous picture, it's you, Judy, Waddle, Henry, walking onto the field. And everybody's always like, "These dudes were in the same wide receiver room." It's hard to think to yourself, "Man, by the time we all leave here,

• 40:36Ryan Clark?

  my statistics, my accolades, who I end up being will be greater than everybody in this room." Even if you don't have those plans, that's what you accomplished. What are your goals for yourself as an NFL player? Because, because of who you were at a meet, because of who you were at Alabama, there are expectations now. That's why you get drafted in the top 10. What do you want to have accomplished when you walk off the field?

• 41:01Speaker 05

  Howie, Nick, that they look at me, when they see me, they was like, "I want this guy here for a very long time. I don't want him nowhere else." They believed in me. They took a chance on me. And I always wanna, you know, give them everything that they expected. So just going out there, doing the things that I need to do to always have them satisfied and to always want me here.

• 41:19Ryan Clark?

  When your baby gets here and, you know, it's time for you to, it's the nighttime, and your old lady getting up, and it's during the season, and you gotta wake up and help, man. When you think about those moments, how, is there anything else in this world that you think is better than that?

• 41:39Speaker 05

  Nah, I don't think it ever will be.

• 41:43Ryan Clark?

  I always say, "Why he gotta wake up?"

• 41:47Channing Crowder?

  Why he gotta wake up?

• 41:48Fred Taylor?

  Because it's his baby.

• 41:49Channing Crowder?

  I know it's his baby and I did that with my first two babies. In the third one, I looked at my wife, I'm like, "You can feed the baby, I ain't got no breasts, Tay. I can't feed the baby." Now we both exhausted in the morning, you know what I'm saying, Tay? You don't gotta wake up, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, RC, I'm sorry.

• 42:07Speaker 05

  I think the only good thing about that is, I don't need a lot of sleep. I get four hours of sleep, I'm good. All I need is four hours. If I sleep, if I sleep a full eight hours, I ain't gonna be worth nothing the next day.

• 42:17Fred Taylor?

  Well, this year gonna be a little different. You might need a bit more than four hours of sleep when you guys knuckle up against the Cowboys. Last year, y'all was able to throw away from digs. Now they got Gilmore down there. Who do you, who do you pick and choose to throw at or not throw at? When that matchup come?

• 42:35Speaker 05

  Whatever Brian call, we gonna roll with it. It is what it is.

• 42:39Fred Taylor?

  Simple. Right to it.

• 42:42Ryan Clark?

  It's good, ay, it's good on good. For you, we know, you're young, so this might be a difficult question for you to answer. We always ask about the biggest pivot. And it's that moment in life, whether it's on the field or off the field, that impacted you in such a way, you feel like it's a part of the foundational being of what's made you who you are. For you, what has been your biggest pivot thus far in your young life?

• 43:09Speaker 05

  I don't think I truly understood, like, when they say people look up to you and things like that, until I seen my little brother start wearing number three.

• 43:16Ryan Clark?

  Wow.

• 43:16Speaker 05

  When he started wearing number three, it kinda hit me like, okay. It like, it's really hit me now, like, he really looks up to me. And then, he always hated when people called him Tay little brother. He always tell, "Nah, my name Christian." So I was like, him looking up to me and things like that, but wanting to be his own man, like, that stood out to me and made me realize, like, I gotta always be on my toes doing the right thing, 'cause he always watching me.

• 43:37Ryan Clark?

  Man, I don't know what everybody else thinks about you, or what they feel about you here. I know at the crib, man, there isn't a person with a negative thing to say about you. Everybody looks at who you are as an athlete so fondly, but more so who you are as a person. And just from this short time, getting an opportunity to sit with you, man, they are 100% correct, bruh. As a fellow boot boy, man, I wish you the best. So proud of all your success. And man, just keep representing yourself, your family, and all of us, bruh, in the way you do, bruh. Very grateful.

• 44:12Speaker 05

  Appreciate it.

  Jimmy said, what are your arms longer than the other one, though?

• 44:30Speaker 05

  Uh, I think it's left.

• 44:31Ryan Clark?

  The left one?

  So how you do the suits?

• 44:34Speaker 05

  If they looking that hard, they really wanna, you know, just look like anybody gonna notice.

• 44:40Ryan Clark?

  Wasn't that the reason? Ja got one arm and one hand bigger than the other, and one arm?

• 44:45Fred Taylor?

  So why does he, is he stronger to the left? Remember he was talking, okay.

• 44:49Ryan Clark?

  Still left.

  So the left is your side, too?

You get up there, you like, hey, I'm down. Like, I'm next. I'm up. Man, them boys beating play, the game tight. Nah, we gonna run it back. Hell nah, we ain't fighting.
