 It's a pleasure to welcome in first round pick win and Williams all ready and enjoying what you believe is a brisk cool Summer day in Florian Park. Oh, yeah, it's definitely cool. It's not really cool It's not really cool, but it's more. It's more of a spring compared to Alabama in Georgia. So Yeah, 82 85 87 and humid. Oh, yeah for sure. That's Halloween Spring practice at Alabama. So it's very cool man. You look good. Hey feeling I feel great man I feel amazing. I feel I feel great man. I just enjoy practicing man I enjoy get out there competing learn from the veterans learn from everybody Especially the old line coaches old line and general just learning the treats of the trade is just NFL in general So I could be a great player. So I'm getting a deal done in time for camp and all that was there ever any Was that in jeopardy at all? Was there any question that you might miss the significant time getting this deal? Oh for sure not know know me know my agent man We wanted to get this done did we want to get this deal done fast as possible so I could be able to compete every day I ain't want I did not want to miss any days. I ain't want to miss Anything any minutes none of that. So we wanted to get this deal done quick as possible. So you got a nice mellow defensive coordinator He's amazing. I love I love all the tenacity to all of it I love all the energy he brings everything about it because I know at the end of the day when I go against the film Had the same mentality he has and dominate like he is big does it do yeah I knew you probably had preconceived notions of what Greg Williams gonna be like But when you got here you're on the practice field for the first few times with him and you actually hear him For the first time. What was your reaction? It was amazing like I came from Alabama So I came co-saving okay from like coach Cochran different guys who who just like great Just like I'm got the same energy got the same personality as him and they speak the same things They speak the Bama standard and hold you to that standard every play everything you do Yeah, dude to that standard of the defense standard of the jet. So I love it No, this might be more on Bob is the play-by-play announcer But we were joking about it on the K show last week that if it works with you Leonard Williams your defensive coordinators Greg Williams you got to work something out with the Williams a nickname or something, right? I'm right. It's too natural. I got cute Leo got big hair. I think What's great got great just G do It's just amazing to make that jump, right? I mean you're a big-time program that that is almost like a professional team Is there but still it's that next jump to the NFL So has there been a moment yet here in camp where you're like, oh, this is this is significantly different than what I'm used to Oh, it's not nothing that really been significantly different. It just I went against on KO And on one-on-ones one time and just doing a day and I just like man like he's a pro bowler So it's like yeah, like it's really different compared to the NFL and college So, you know, they they it's a lot of stuff that I got to learn I'm still learning to make it myself better But it's a lot of stuff that I learned from going against the great guys on the offensive line great guys on the offensive general that I learned But coming from Alabama, man, it's it just helped me tremendously because the technique I came in we just NFL technique the Standard I came in standard the work either I came in with is the same way so and then like the coaching like I love to get coach hard. I love to get coached. If even when I do something good I want to get coached on the things I did wrong the things I did just reference save I want everything perfect and I know everybody can't be perfect, but I want to learn how to be profile I want to chase perfection. So I love I love everything about it. Yeah, for those that don't know KO Collegial assembly, I think I've got that right. I haven't spent a lot of time with the pronunciation guide yet I think I've got that right He's a guy that has been to multiple probles Now you played your whole collegiate career in probably the conference is there for talent-on-talent in the pit Right, I mean you're not gonna you playing against borderline NFL talent every week Is there but when you first come out and go head-to-head against a guy that has been to NFL probles Do you immediately notice the difference and what you have to work on yes, sir To make sure you have a chance against a guy That plays at that level because you're gonna be going up against those kind of guys every week Oh for sure, man He teaches me a lot man every time I go against them and I have to I have to learn for myself Like I just learned like different things like your first move not gonna work and college a lot of time My first move work, but going against great in any NFL my first move like being impressed my first move Will work sometime but going against different guys that's been a pro bowl different veterans that been in NFL a long time They know the treats in the trade. They know everything about deep in the line They know what you're gonna throw they know what you what you about so they know I'm a speed guy They know I'm a finesse guy and I got power so so I try to switch it up on them I try to get on with different things and I'm flexible So I try to use everything about myself To overcome on guys and just going against a pro bow guy like KO I got to pull it all out because he got he got all the tools of the trade to beat me every time So he just made me better just going to get some so Quinn Williams with us here on 98 70 SPN And also the K show bobble shoes and down the Greco When Greg Williams was hired he's traditionally been a 4-3 guy And the first thought when he came was oh, they're gonna go 4-3 Then they find out they're switching back to 3-4 or gonna stay with the 3-4 He's gonna mix everything we understand that but you're calling yourself a finesse guy. They draft you How do you fit into an nfl 3-4? In terms of those tricks of the trade you're talking about having to learn or How many different fronts have you already seen in practice? And in the film room where now you realize you're going to be moved all over the place And they are going to try and piecemeal your role to fit whatever personnel is on the field I'm not really a finesse guy. I can really I'm really a hybrid d-line man I think I am me and leo because we can play in we play interior we can do it all so I like Alabama. I played it all and we ran the 3-4 Alabama ran more similar the same exact defense at Alabama because Greg Williams because saving got the same mindset when it comes to 3-4 So it's similar like whatever he want me to do. I'ma do it don't play to my best ability and like they want to Play because I've been all over calling college games and no matter where you go You always hear Alabama is about as close of parallel to the nfl As you're going to get in terms of practice structure demands on the players Scheme what they throw at you what they expect you have to mentally digest to be able to play the defense Do you feel that already that you're maybe a step ahead of the other guys and camp a little bit? Or maybe other rookies would be because you played there I feel like I am compared to other rookies on this here. I'ma step ahead because just coming from that aspect Um, I just learned it quick everything that Alabama we did it was throwing at us And we had to on our own we had to go home learning Come back expect everybody expected to know it everybody expected to do and this the veterans that we had at Alabama Was great veterans that teach us all the stuff also So being here with great veterans like cj steve Leo Henry they make sure we grasp everything quick. So What's adam gates like or is it a little too early to tell he really offers a guy so Because that's all I was gonna ask you like see I would think At least on the surface You've got a better chance to have a relationship with your head coach in the nfl Then you would in college because you're only there for you know three years Maybe four and there's so many players on the college level where you've got what you know 53 to deal with maybe more in camp So is it possible that you can be closer to gays than you were with saving? Oh for sure I try to get close with all my coaches man Just because they got a big impact on me because I can learn from every last one of them So for sure the it's not really like I'm I'm be cool because saving and not be cool at him. So Were you cool with the coach? Oh, yeah for sure. Man. He's a goat. So it's like Adam would go so Man all these coaches man just here to help me help me be better player on and off the field Help me be a man on and off the field So I'm gonna listen to everything they got to say and respect everything they do Man, it's a pleasure meeting you for the first time. Good luck with you. Yeah, thanks a million. Thank you
