 All right, thank you so much, Mike. And we mentioned at the top of the show that this guy is super busy. My co-host Eddie George. I got to call you coach now, man. Yeah, no, it's crazy, right? Coach of TSU. Look, man, I remember you told me back on the Titans Blitz what, November? Yeah. That you got the offer. Yeah, I got it, I got it, opportunity. I looked at it, vetted it out. At first, I was like, hell no. You know, I was like, I'm not a coach. But after doing some soul searching, doing some due diligence, called around the league, got a opinion of different coaches, different friends that I knew, and really thought about the opportunity of making an impact in kids' lives and just where it was going. And really, prime, Deon Sanders, he's a trendsetter. And I saw the impact he had at Jackson State. And me living here for 20-some-odd years, me familiar with Tennessee State University, the tradition, everything that it entails, they have the bones to be really great. So I said, why not? Why not me? Why not you? And I have to call you out on this one. It's the first thing he said to me when you got the job. The only thing you cared about were those kids. Yeah, yeah. No, no question. Because if I'm going to do this, I'm going to be 100% in. And I can't sit on somebody's couch and tell them to come to my university and I'm not going to be fully involved. I have to be all the way involved from recruiting to compliance to the moment these kids wake up in the morning, what they eat, how they get to the facility, how they practice when they leave, how they study. And more importantly, how they transition out of the game after the game. I think it's going to be a huge asset for that. And really create an environment where we're going to bring in some really great teachers, not just coaches, but teachers that are going to really invest in them as men. And I'm really excited about it as well. Yeah, well, I know you are. I know you're going to do a great job. Well, I'm trying to recruit some guys to see if they've got some eligibility to my right. Do you bring them in in a second, but we'll see. Let's do that right now. They've been sitting here waiting patiently. CJ2K, the freak, Javon Curse. Thank you guys for being here. Thanks for having us. So how about Coach here? Yes, man, it's amazing to see that for him to get that job and for him to go in there and help the kids and the things that I know he would be able to do from just how he inspired me and his leadership and stuff like that. They got a great guy. Do you have any eligibility left to see? You came out in the junior, right? No, I see you, see you. I see you. But that's the facts right there. Like, it's all right there, whatever. This guy right here, he embodies hard work, determination, but not just on the field. Not just on the field of play, but just off the field as well. Just this big bro, this is one of the guys that I really looked up to my first days, like my first minutes in the NFL, him and Steve. I couldn't wait to go meet those guys and talk to those guys. And he took on a big brother role. I kind of forced him to do it, but he took it. I kind of forced him to do it. But I mean, he's the guy like if it's anyone that I know that's perfect for this job, it's my man Eddie George. And he has mentioned something about trying to recruit some guys. He don't have to recruit me. Like, I can do something. I'm just afraid. Be ready right now. I'm back in the years, weight room, something there. And even off the field and stuff. But I mean, but like my guy Eddie George, like he's definitely the man for these kids. All right, well, let's talk about that. And congratulations once again, Eddie. You're going to do a killer job. I can't wait to see you coach on the same field that you all played on, TSU playing in the Sun Stadium. But let's transition a little bit on that thought, Javon. You technically were the first Titan drafted. Ever. Ever. Ever to the Titan. You're the first Titan. Yeah. So when you came to the team, you were looking at guys like this? Yeah. I mean, like I watched Eddie in college. I watched his little p-head stuff. I wasn't when the husband in college. And it was staying like back in college. And then it's the same with Steve. And then like once I got my name called on that Saturday and when I got here, I'm like, man, I'm like these. I'm like those are some of the guys that I want to get to know because we're a family. I need to get to know my big brothers early and often. Yeah, when we got Javon, we found out we drafted Javon. It was like always on. Yeah, Jeff Fisher raved about, listen, he said, Steve, Eddie, we've got this kid out of Florida. He is going to change the game. Oh my gosh, he is an absolute animal off the edge. He can rush. He can do it all. It's like Javon Curse. Oh my god, Javon. So when he got in the camp, I'm trying to be all cool, like whatever, he a rookie. He going to say, we're going to see how he handles the conditioning test. This dude was backpedaling the last lap of the conditioning test. So we just knew he was going to be special for us. And he was the missing cog to really set us off to go from 8 and 8 to have the run that we had during our time at the Titans. He's actually the bridge. He played with CJ, too. So he was the old head. So yeah. Yeah, that's right. That's absolutely right. What are these guys going through tonight, guys? And this is Draft Night. We got some Titans in the wings waiting in the wings. But what's everybody feeling? How are these guys feeling tonight? Are they? Me personally, I'm sure it's the more guys in the draft. I was hearing all of this top 10 thing. So I was kind of anxious. I had butterflies that day or whatever. And then back then, they started the first two or three rounds on that Saturday. But literally, on that day, my stomach was going through a whole lot of stuff. But then, eventually, it catapulted me. It motivated me because I felt like I was going to be top 10. I didn't feel like that. I think I heard that. I was hearing that. So once you start hearing things, it starts getting planted there. So once I heard top 10 or whatever, and then the teams that I visited, maybe four teams, all top 10. And then the day before and the morning of the draft, none but top 10 teams were reaching out to me to make sure that they had the correct phone number for me and everything. And then once they did, I'm like, I'm going top 10. And once that didn't happen, I'm actually happy it didn't happen. To be honest with you, I'm happy I fell to 16. Yeah, 16. It was not like it was far. It was motivation. No, it wasn't far, but to me, I'm the type of person that I'm going to always find a way to motivate myself. I'm going to find a way to push myself, even if you can't, or even if another team can, or coaching someone, if they can't do it, I have to find a way to do it myself. And then with that, then I told the story to everybody, they're like, you do it first round. You went number 16. I'm like, I did, but I felt like I should have been off the board because that day, that draft, it's long, man. You were at home, which I probably shouldn't have been at home because I was at home with family and friends. And then they know how to reach me. So they call in the house. During the drill, did you get picked yet? No, I didn't get picked yet. Turn your TV on and watch it. Stop tying up the full line. Chris, what about you? I mean, you blew everybody away at the combine. So what are your thoughts on draft night? Well, my whole, my whole draft process, you know, it was always saying that I was going to go second, third round because I went to a smaller school. You know what I'm saying? So then after I ran at the combine, after I ran to 40, you know, they say it was rising, it was rising. I could be a first round pick. So I was late first round, early second. You know, a lot of different things and stuff like that. And then, you know, you hear the guys say, yeah, he didn't play us against the competition and this and that. And then it was just crazy because I went to, like, I went from after the combine, then after, you know, you have your visits to the different, you got to fly to different cities. I had 16 visits. So I'm like, so I'm flying from city to city to city. So then I got my workouts or whatever. So it was crazy. Coach Ernest Biner, the running back coach, he went to East Carolina too. So he, so the day before the draft, he called me and he was like, hey, man, listen, I just, I just finished talking to fish. They say, if you there at 24, we're going to take you. So when he tell me this, it kind of upset me because, because it was five running backs winning the first round of my year. And I felt like I was better than all those guys. Five slower running backs is what you're saying. Five slower too, yeah. So I'm like, it's no way that four running backs is going to go before me. And I'm going to fall all the way to 24. Know what I'm saying? But four running backs went before me and I'm just sitting there, sitting there, come off the board, come off the board. So when 24 got there, I'm like, yeah, he told me this. I'm like, I want to be a first rounder. And then I seen six, one, five pop up and I'm like, oh. So I kind of knew, I kind of knew, but I wanted to go earlier, but it worked out for the best. I'm glad I didn't go earlier. I'm glad I dropped to 24. My first year I had more rushing yards than every running back that went before me. Combined. Combined. I feel like I had a better career than everybody that went before me. So it worked out. It's funny because we had the same common themes. I, they, the Titans had, they were at number nine and I was supposed to go at nine. And then they dropped at like 22 or 24. Yeah, they treated me, nobody else was picking and running back. So I was in New York and the cameras went straight to me when they did that. And I was like, oh my God. So I got to put on a fake laugh. Like I'm not upset. And then inside I'm sick. Like, oh my gosh. And the next team I was going to pick me was at 17, was Minnesota. And, but the Titans came back up at 14 and got me. And I told my agent said, just get me in the camp on time, I'll take care of the rest. There was two other running backs that went before me, Timbiaka Batuka and the late Lawrence Phillips. And I remember CJ, when he got drafted, I was calling games for the Titans back then. His first, I think it was his first carry. He's like, okay, we want to see what young CJ can do. If he's ready for the big time, you know, he's small in size, but he's fast. Dude, he had, I think he had the second carry. You took it 80 yards. I said, well, we have it. There it is. Nothing else needs to be said. And now I'm thinking to myself, okay, I hope he doesn't break my all-time record, because this dude can do it in two years. The way that he was doing it. But he was such a special, special player for us, man. And I'm so glad that he was able to carry that mantle of great running backs that this franchise has produced. This franchise, I mean, we're looking at a great portion of this franchise. Y'all are some of the greatest to ever wear this uniform. It's an honor to sit here with you and on this draft night, we potentially might have another one coming up. But I was just curious about those nerves that you felt. And it's interesting. I can tell in each and every one of you, you still sort of viscerally feel that moment that night. I did a post earlier. I was talking about the goosebumps, the goosebumps that I felt. Like I said, like I visited like, I visited maybe five or six teams. They're all top 10. And then the teams that I heard from. So I had this set in my mind in concrete. Oh, you up the board in 10. 10 or less till you're off there or whatever. But I mean, like things work out to what they're doing. And I think I appreciate the way it worked out. Absolutely do. How are the Titans looking these days? They're looking pretty good. Yeah? They're looking pretty good. I like hearing your perspective on this. Yeah, they're looking pretty good. We got another 2K in the box. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How you feel about that? You OK with that? I feel great about it, man. I feel great about it. You know way back then when they was trying to write them off, I told them they need to give them the ball. He's not a guy that you can just give the ball here and there. And then, you know, he's a guy. I feel like he's a hyper guy like me. And also, like Eddie, you have to give us the ball. And throughout the game, third, fourth quarter, then, you know that's when the defense going to lay down. But honestly, when he was on the verge of cracking 2,000, were you watching? And Tintley, where were you when he broke the record? I was at home watching. And it was even before he broke the record. This one I knew he was going to break the record. He had a run, like I think it was up the right side. He probably broke like three or four times. I'm like, yeah, they don't want to hit him. I say they don't want to hit him. Yeah, I say he's going to break the record. After I seen that run, like he's going to break the record. But he needed to, like 253 or something like that. Yeah, but that run put him in like, I think it was like 120 or something like in the first half. I'm like, yeah, he going to break it. They don't want to hit him. I'm like, they don't want to hit him. I knew it. Man, it's been a run so far. And we're still going, obviously. And I love what you guys bring to the team, coming to this show for us and just hanging out and being who you are, representing this team the way you do still. Love it. Yeah, man. Yeah, it's awesome. Legends right here. Personally, I like what they're doing. I like the focus they're doing on defense now. I mean, on paper, last year looked like with Beasley, Clowning, Andrew, they're going to like kill it. Yeah, on paper. On paper, yes. It's a little different when you got to play the game. Right now, though, on paper, but I'm seeing good things, Bud Dupree picking up that acquisition. So I see a lot of freak-like play from him and his speed off the edge. So I wondered what your thoughts were on that. No, that's definitely big. I mean, personally, I'm a defensive lineman, so I feel like it all starts up front. So if you get that front four, the front seven, like doing things, that's going to make the guys on the back end job a lot less hard. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I think this is definitely a tipping point for the Titans. Picking up Bud in the offseason was huge. There's something they needed to address. I thought last draft by getting a defensive in, but they felt that Clowning could do it. Getting Bud was good. I think still going defense still. The corner would be good in this draft in the first round. Offensive tackle. You can never go wrong with building out the trenches because inside out is how you win in this game. Of course, there's been speculation around Julio Jones possibly out of some of that. We got to get another receiver in there. Hurt that one. We have to. So we don't, yeah, no double team on one side, and then you don't let them eight, nine in the box there. Yeah, but you got problems. Yeah. I'm listening to this from Eddie's perspective as a coach now. It's like, this is how it came. But yeah, I know, I just know how it is. The season after you run for 2,000 yards, I know how it is the next season. Yeah, how is that? I mean, because he has two years in a row that he's led the league in rushing even harder for him. Yeah, because basically when teams play Titans, they know we got to start there. Know what I'm saying? So it's eight, nine in the box every game. Yeah. So then going back to that wide receiver, you're calling for it. Yeah, we got a good back to that. That's just a few. Yeah. You know AJ going to do what he had to do. So if, you know what I'm saying? We need somebody to understand so they can't double team him and put eight, nine in the box. I love that you guys still pay so such close attention to this game, you know. And plus, I got to admit this, all three y'all look like you still play the game. So you were joking about, could they have any eligibility? I wasn't joking. I see this kind of happening. All right, fellas, thank you so much for being here and joining us before we go. I do want to offer CJ's sons a scholarship right now. Because I see the twins. Twins, juicies. They're babies, they're babies. They're eight years old. But already we're seeing it? Yeah, we see it. Oh yeah, it's there. So officially, the twins have their first college offer. It's here you go. They first college offer. It's on tape. Yeah, it's on tape. We got this. It's on tape. Javon Curse, The Freak, Chris Johnson, CJ2K, thank you for joining Eddie and myself here. And Coach. Coach. Coach, that's just crazy. Coach George.
