 What's up Drake? Congratulations. First stop man. This has been such like a unpredictable draft. It seemed like before your phone rang Did you have a good sense you'd be going to the Falcons or were you shocked? Um, I wouldn't say I had a good sense. I just felt like I Wanted to be in Atlanta at the end of the day. This is where I wanted to end up and And I'm like I'm I don't even know what to say. I'm at loss of words to be honest Well, let me follow up on that. Why why did you want to be in Atlanta? Why was that? Why was it the place for you the coaching the direction that they're going in and just the type of players that they want to bring into their facility? They're we're just moving in the right direction and I can't wait to to go out there and put on that jersey and And just be a dirty bird at the end of the day Allison Mr. Angelo WSP Hey, welcome to the ATL looking forward to covering you this season Overall, I mean it's been a whirlwind for you, but what are you looking forward to the most about being in Atlanta falcon this season? I Think just the direction that we're headed into Like I said before I mean the culture that they're trying to build and the guys that they're trying to bring in to build that culture Whether it's previous players who are already there Or the coach is anything like that, you know, I think we're moving in the right direction and I'm happy to be a part of it What do you hope to accomplish in your rookie season for the Falcons, you know I'm just trying to go out there and win as many games as possible because without winning games and what does it matter? All right, we'll go to D Orlando led better. Yeah, Drake. How you doing today dear land to let better Atlanta Journal Constitution? Your reference to the twin towers you and cow What makes you think that's something that could come to fruition here in Atlanta? I Mean it's just too big dudes out there on the perimeter. I feel like it's a pretty good analogy to say that we're twin towers Obviously, I got to earn my stripes in order to get on the field with them. But at the same time if we do, I think it's a good nickname Are you fully recovered from your injuries? Yes, sir And I missed a little bit here It's what kind of basketball player where you were your stretch for stretch three or Describe your game and how you think it might help you Translate into catching some balls in the national football way. No, I was a I was a two or three So I was a shooting guard and pretty much just somebody who'll go to the rack. I mean the dunking on you I'm pulling threes in your face Thank you Michael Rossi you have a follow-up There we go. Yeah, I do Drake, I guess what if they told you about how you were gonna be used early on if they given you any indications of that like you said You've had a lot of conversations with them throughout the process You know, I I got to get there first in order to really tell you what type of rollout in And again, like I'm back. I have to earn those stripes. I have to go through what a rookie regular rookie goes through I'm not looking to have any handouts given towards me I'm I'm a person who works for everything that I get, you know Do you think I mean when you look at the receiver room as currently constructed Do you think you can step in and be a number one receiver right away? I mean, is that is that plausible you think? Whatever coach wants me to do I'm gonna do it at the end of the day like I said before and for now winning games Then nothing else matters Appreciate it. Congratulations again, man. Thank you. Josh Kendall. Do you follow up? Yeah, Drake just Catch me up. Did you run the 40 at your pro day? No, sir Was that injury related? Was that just you felt like you had proved what you needed to prove related? Um, I felt like I pulled what I needed to prove but at the same time I had six to eight. I didn't have six eight the weeks to train for that, you know, right barely started I was barely starting to run literally. I only had four days of routes before I even went out there to go run So, I mean, I'm not gonna go out there and just run a 40 without any training like these other guys got to do Did the fat did the Falcons ask you about that at all? Did y'all talk about what your speed was or do you think that what they saw in film was good enough for them? No Thanks, Drake. Thank you. It's time for a couple more Charles. Do you have a follow up? Yes, you kind of let into it with what you're just talking about with your running where are you you said you only had a few days to to run routes before your pro day I know you played eight games, but where are you now in terms of are there any limitations on you now? No, I wouldn't say limit any limitations. The only one that I would say is probably endurance right now You know coming off an injury. You got to start running again And again, just like I said before my pro day only ran like four days a straight full speed route So just getting my body back into the endurance and and getting that right. I would say is the only thing All right, lastly, we'll go to a camera wolf at NFL Network Hey, Drake, how you doing man? Congrats. Good. Thank you How was how do you envision sort of I don't know how you watch much of our Arthur Smith's offense And how do you envision maybe fit in there along with call cow pits? Again, I'm gonna go back and say whatever coach wants me to do. I'm gonna do The blessing to be at this level, you know So I'm gonna take everything I can where that's on special Anything I'm gonna do what's best for the team
