 How does it feel, Theo, especially being a Nashville guy and a UT player to get drafted by the Titans? I'm not going to lie to you, I'm going through so many emotions right now, but it's the best feeling to grow up in Nashville, go to school at Tennessee, and then come back home for pro ball. So it's really like I can't even think of the words to even say right now, I'm just so excited, I'm so eager to get to work. Do you grow up going to Titans games or rooting for the team or in Jersey, is that kind of thing? Yeah, I did actually grow up a Titans fan because my uncle he owns a suite box inside the stadium, so I go to the games and I sit in a box, eat food and all that, they just enjoy the game. Did you have any inkling that the Titans might be picking you Theo or did it come as a surprise? I didn't know that they were going to pick me because I was kind of labeled to get drafted around this time, but the Titans drafted me and that just made it so much better so I could stay home. When you were going to games, what players were you a fan of? When I was going to games, I was young, so I didn't really know players. I was really just excited to be here and I was just my hometown team, but as I got an older, I just really just enjoy just being a Titans fan really. I haven't really watched any players from the team. What kind of role that they might expect out of you coming in here beyond just special teams? I mean, they love my versatility, so I can probably play safety, play the dime, or play some slot, but we never know. It's really just how they want to view me and where they want to place me at. Last year, really, your numbers took some really big jumps in terms of like tackles for loss and quarterback. What was it always different there to have you in a different role in that start position last year or what was the reason for that? I think it was just the scheme change. It kind of allowed me to be more free and then our playbook was a little bit easier, so I can focus on what call I have to make and I can focus on what the offense could be doing. And most of the time, I watched a lot of films, so when I guess, I guess right most of the time. So that kind of helped me out to get that production. Did you go to local pro day here and did you kind of start envisioning maybe this could be a place for you when you did that? Oh, yeah. I did attend the local day when I went there. They invited me with open arms, they showed me around the place. I met every coach, so I honestly felt so comfortable given that that is my backyard. So I'm sorry. I'm kind of still kind of emotional a little bit, but it just felt like home. Where did you grow up in Nashville? I grew up in Antioch. Hey, where are you watching the draft? I'm at my uncle's house and funny thing with that is he is probably the biggest Tennessee fan. Like there are Tennessee jerseys everywhere. His home downstairs is like Tennessee everything. So for me to get drafted to the Titans in that room, you know, that kind of that was super special. What was it like when the call came in and you saw that's who it was going to be? What would your family do? What would you do? See, you know, when I first got the call, you know, I was just saying yes sir, no sir, you know, just trying to just trying to control myself really. And then once I figured out that they were picking me, you know, emotions kind of took over because, you know, my long heart, the long 18, 19 years of hard work, you know, paying paid off. So and then my family just exploded with with excitement. So it's really just an all around like great great experience for me. How big an impact did Tim Banks and the staff at Tennessee this year have on you? They had a big impact because they taught me a lot of techniques. They helped me out in the film room. And then so and then once I got out in the field, they they literally just told me to go out and play with with with what you see. So, you know, they gave me the tools and everything that I needed. So at the end of the day, it was really on me to do everything that I needed to do. Was that a more comfortable situation for you this year? Oh, yeah. Honestly, yes, it was. You know, I was I was given a lot, a lot of freedom. And, you know, with that freedom, you know, that that didn't make me say what the instincts and like and film film study. So that really just helped me help me out a lot. When you were playing at Overton, I mean, did you think that this was a realistic go for you then when it kind of hit home for you that this is something might happen and still kind of hard to believe that it has? When I was at Overton, you know, I was I was still trying to, you know, get to the next level, which which was college. So, you know, I was I was just trying to trying to get to the next next level after high school. But in the end, I was, you know, envisioning myself playing playing with the Titans. So, you know, just having that vision come true, you know, it's I still can't, you know, give a word to even say like what I'm feeling about it. Is there a big celebration you're playing for tonight? Do you guys going to go someplace in Nashville or take her under? I'm not sure, but I got about 60, 70 family members out there. So I probably might might just kick kicking with them tonight, you know, because I know I don't have long with them. So I'm just gonna, you know, stay in with them.
