 What was it like receiving the call from the Falcons? Recording in progress. When did you feel like you would get drafted instead of going the undrafted route? As far as what it was like, no, it means the world. I'd been sitting around all day for a while there. I was down with my family and I'd say I went back upstairs to my room for the last hour, just kind of waiting on something and yet another comment, the world. I didn't really know what to expect. I'd heard a ton of different outlooks on what was going to happen today from different people. But whatever was going to happen, I was ready. I'm excited. Hey, did you watch the Falcons at all last year and you see how they use the tie-in? I'm sure you'll be learning that in the next couple days. But what do you know at this point about that, John? I just know it's not just 11 personnel. They run some 12. They run some 13. And I know I can step in right away and fill that role. Advance the run game and drive that needle and then also be an all-around tight end and stretch the field in the past game as well. Thank you. Josh Kendall with the athletic. Congratulations. All of a sudden after kind of a 10-year drought, the Falcons are draft two Georgia players in a row, will it be nice to have at least one familiar face in camp? Yeah, no, I saw Schaefer. I was over the moon to see Schaefer get drafted. Schaefer and I have a great relationship. I think having a strong relationship with your O-line is extremely important. You're working with them all the time in the run game. And I was pulling right behind him when he was kicking out outside linebackers. I'm excited to do that these next few years. Does it have any significance to you to be part of this Georgia draft class, which has reached historic proportions at this point? Yeah, it means a lot. Coming in with the guys back in 2018, when Jamari was Schaefer, all these guys. Schaefer was here before, but getting over that hump, working hard, but finally getting over that hump and winning that national championship and then seeing all the success. No one was really worried about individual accolades. We all bought into one common goal. And now all these individual accolades are coming to fruition. Thank you. Congratulations. Thank you. Good to Charles Odom, the Associated Press. Hey, John, congratulations. One more on the Georgia thing. Did you guys have any talk, but you know, leading up to this on how many of you guys could get drafted? You've almost doubled your previous school record with 15 right now. Yeah, it had been mentioned. And you know, whether we get to 15 or not, it had definitely been mentioned, but yeah, no, I saw, I think it was right after me or right before me that DK got drafted to make it 15, which I thought was awesome. And you know, I think, like I said before, I think we all bought into one common goal of winning it all. And then now all the individual stuff is taking care of itself. Where are you now physically? Are you good for rookie camp and stuff? Yes, sir. All right, we'll go to Cody Chaffins, Fox Five. Hey, John, you kind of had Georgia had to play with other tight ends and learn to share the ball. Now you come to the Falcons that obviously have a big time tight end in Kyle Pitts. What did you learn at Georgia that you can move on when you got to make the most of your opportunities and if it means playing on special teams, doing that too? I think Coach Harley and Coach Smart prepare me so well for that. I take pride in special teams and that's one of the focal points of our team, of our meetings every single day. And I think that's why we're so successful. So I'm excited to contribute in any aspect of the game, whether that's 12 personnel, 13 personnel, whether that's, and I hope to be on all special teams units and excited for that opportunity as well. And you, we've talked so much about how many dogs are taking another Marist War Eagle taking you. He's got to see Kyle go in the first round. What's it like representing? No, I was so excited to see Kyle go. He's been so successful. I know her game and, you know, in that first night, I saw him there and I saw Baltimore take when they got a steal with him. He's going to be in the league for a long time. He's a special kid, special player. And now I was super excited because we had a lot of success at Marist from basketball to football all through the years. So it's really cool. Allison Mastrangelo, WSB. What does it mean for you just to be able to, to stay in your home city and play for your home team now? It means that, you know, I guess rent is free. I get to stay in my mom and dad's basement for a little bit. No, I'm just kidding. I'll have to figure that out. But no, it's so cool. All my families here, mom and dad were over the moon. I had been sitting upstairs for a while just because I was a little bummed out. I'm not sure what to expect, but and they were downstairs just kind of waiting by the TV. But, you know, I had my phone ring and I was just standing upstairs and just sat at the Falcons. Falcons just took me. And yeah, I have my four sisters here, my brother and my little niece, Mary and my mom and dad. And there were tears and they were screaming. And for you, I guess, what does it mean for you that like the memory of playing? Okay, let me rephrase that. What do you remember the most about watching the Falcons play and what does that mean for you now? So we have a chance to play for them on Sundays. I just know just the opportunity to play in front of your home state. Like I did Georgia, I meant the world and now doing it, you know, in the NFL, that even means more. And, you know, growing up, everyone gravitates towards them in this incredible city. And just being able to do this in front of so many friends and family, it's gonna be incredible. We've got time for a couple of follow-ups. Dila, do you have a follow-up? Yes. Yes. John was, you know, just the tight ends at Georgia. You know, they talked about running back to you, just looking back and the guys coming out, are y'all getting ready to see a lot of tight ends coming out of Georgia? Yeah, no, you definitely are. And I think that's a credit to Coach Hartley especially. I don't think he gets enough credit the way he prepares us, the way he works so hard to get us ready for the game, for practices. He specializes in getting us ready with technique stuff, stuff you would never really think about. So when it comes to game time, it's a lot easier. And I think the way he prepared me is gonna allow me to translate well in the NFL, especially in the run game.
