 What's going on, Rashad, congrats. How far do you think you've come from a technical standpoint after five college seasons? It was a, you said from a technical standpoint? Yes, sir. Now you're good. You know, I think, you know, from the lowest freshman technical to one of the best players in college football, and I just think that's due to the coaches we had at Pitt. You know, Coach Partridge is the best divine coach in the country, and he just teaches technique, and it's all about technique in the run, in the pass. Anytime you're on the field, you've got to be able to make plays within the technique. So with that coaching and the way we play ball at Pitt, I think I've put my technique to the top compared to, you know, other college pass rushers. Glennon. Hey, Rashad, congratulations. Yeah, just wanted to ask you what your thoughts were. Looks like you've kind of gone back and forth between inside and outside, and I think you played a 4-3 at Pitt. You know, where do you see yourself fitting in with a 3-4 defense? Do you feel like you can play pretty much regularly on the edge or could you move inside as well? Yeah, I mean, with that, I never played inside except for at the senior bowl. I always played on the edge at Pitt. We were 4-3. I think my red shirt freshman year I played in those, but that was our pass rush in one of our pass rush packages. But after that year, I went back out to the edge. But I know I could do it. That's one thing about me. I'm very tired to move up and down line. And wherever they plan on seeing me, I think they could see me standing up on the edge or if they need to knock me down there at the defensive end with the hand in the dirt. I think they know I have the ability to do either. And I'll be ready to do whichever one they kind of point me towards. Teresa. Rashad, after the injury in 2019, how effective do you think it was having the year last season that you had to put any doubts out, to erase any doubts that people might have had about how your recovery? I think it was a must. I might be looking after how this weekend's went. I might be looking at the undrafted free agent seventh round or something later. Because that tape from 2018, I was making plays, but it's just not good technically. There's not good technique there. It's kind of just going off a natural skill. So before that 2019 season, I put in a lot of work because I didn't want to be that type of player anymore. And I went down. So I just continued that work before the 2020 season. And coming off an injury, I had a lot of proof. And then there was doubt with the season with COVID. I just, you know, one of our old strength coaches, he just said, if you put the money in the bank, it'll be there when it's time to pull it out. So that's what I carried the mindset through. Every day I worked out and prepared my leg rehab or my technique and my skill set, just preparing myself to be ready in 2020. So when it was time to, you know, cash out and make those plays, all the deposits will be there. And why? And Rashad, how much do you feel like the Titans are getting maybe a steal in you in round four and how excited are you to kind of come in and try to find your niche here in Tennessee? Yeah, first, I mean, I'm so excited. I'm so thankful for them and Coach Vabru and the whole staff that, you know, they put the faith in me to pick me and I'll be ready to come there and work and make plays and do whatever I'm asked with them. And I think, you know, when I got on the phone, I just felt like they got the biggest steal of the draft. You know, I thought I would be going on day two, honestly, but some things just changed. And, you know, but we're at this point now, I've been drafted and people dream of this. I'm so thankful for it and for them to pick me. I'm excited, but I think they got a great value picking me and I'm excited to prove that to them. And they signed another guy from Pittsburgh, obviously the Steelers and Bud DePri. Do you pay attention to the Steelers and kind of going to be cool? You coming from University of Pittsburgh to join forces with him in Nashville? Absolutely. I mean, just from him being a previous Steeler, I was always watched him and TJ and because they're great pass rushers. And then actually when I was out in Arizona training, I got connected with Bud and me and him and have the same financial advisor now. And I've been out with him a few times. Text with him and he was out at Exos where I was at recovering from his ACL and we would chat it up and talk and we've had dinner. So me and him already a little bit acquainted and I'll definitely be trying to learn from him and pick his mind and maybe try to get on his nerves. I know he likes to ask me questions here and there about ACLs. So maybe if I help him, he'll help me even more. David Bochlear. You planned on going to Michigan. That didn't work out. You had the knee injury 2019 that you had to overcome. Talk about kind of what you've learned the last few years about adapting when things don't go exactly according to plan. Yeah, I mean, I've talked about this a lot and to me, I just think I've always been a big, it is what it is type of person. So kind of hold the emotion down for it and just deal with it and onto the next. And I think with the ACL, I learned the most. Back with the Michigan situation, I was still young. I wouldn't say I learned it yet. I just kind of went with the flow and was excited to be a pit and thankful that they wanted me. I was doing somewhere where I wanted, same way with the Titans. But with the ACL mainly, even this draft, it tested my patience. With the ACL, I learned a lot of patience. My work ethic and desire to be great and all that has stayed the same through the rehab and the recovery. That wasn't hard for me. It was just the patience of not being where I wanted to be at the time I wanted to be. Just being prepared at all times. So then when my time did come and it was time for me, I'll be ready and be able to show that. So for me, it's just about patience and continuing to strengthen my patience. Harry. Rashad, you had 14 tackles for loss last year in just nine games. Is that something you take a lot of pride in being able to make plays behind the line of scrimmage and tackle backs for losses? Oh, absolutely. And even with that, I always had high standards for myself because the higher standards you set, if you achieve them, then you're looking at elite status. And if you fall a little bit short, you're still in great status. Even with that 14, I wanted more sacks. I see myself as a, I should have had at least a sack every game and I had played nine games and I didn't have nine sacks in college, those sacks count as TFL. So I just see I could have had more, but I definitely pride myself in that. I pride myself in, I feel like I can affect every play whether I'm the one making the play the TFL or the sack or I'm the one taking on blocks so someone else can go make the play. You know, I just wanna help the defense every play and cause havoc for the offenses and cause them to have to plan for me. Joe Rex road. Rashad, just wondering as a pastor, where are you best and what do you need to the most? Yeah, for me, I just always say best naturally on the edge but that's because that's all I've ever played. If I get reps inside or at the three or somewhere in practice, I think I'd just be just as good at that. And I think I have the versatility to play up and down the line. And for me, the biggest thing I would say work on, you know, these tall guys I've heard is from middle school all the way through college is just pad level. It's consistency with my pad level. My pad level is low, I have a good kid. When my pad level is low, my get off is fine. I look, I have a quick first step. I get back there and I win. It's when I get high and I look in the back field and I'm trying to see maybe a little too much is when it just doesn't look as good on film. So for me, it's just my consistency with my pad level. Paul? You mentioned knowing, but Harold Landry played a ton of snaps too. So both of them in their best seasons have played a ton of snaps. You're going to have to play very well to get them off the field, how much you're looking forward, maybe forward to the challenge of doing well enough to getting one of them to take a breather. I mean, absolutely. I mean, that's why they picked me and I'm excited to get behind both those guys and learn and push them. And it gives me something to work for. If it was just easy for me to step into, then it would be a little different mindset, but it just gives me something to even work for and just adds to the thing to the list to work harder for. So it's just another task or hurdle to work towards and that's nothing I haven't done before. So I'm excited for it and just excited again to be behind those guys and learn from them and be part of the defense, you know, turning around on the defense in the past rush. And that's why they picked up Bud Dupri. And, you know, I feel like why they just drafted me myself. Ron? Yeah, Rashad, I know you guys really like coach Narduzzi and just looking at what you guys did at Pittsburgh, you know, using you standing up, handing the dirt, stunts, both sides rushing the passer. How much does that prepare you for what you feel the Titans will use you as? I think it prepares us well. And I mean, that's why I chose coach Narduzzi and everybody knew what he did at Michigan State. And then again, working with coach Partridge, those two guys just I'm so thankful for. And in the position they put that D-line in with our defenses made for us to make plays. You know, some defenses are made for the linebackers to make plays and D-lines just old gaps and stuff like that. Our defenses, they want us to get back there. They'll put us in situations to have one-on-ones. They'll put us in situations to have blitzes to get us one-on-ones. And they expect us to make the plays. You know, we play man coverage. So they expect us to be able to get back there. So our D-bees aren't running up down the field for five seconds of a long play because it'll break down eventually. And I think being in that type of defense where essentially if there's no D-line, our defense isn't going to perform very well, but we had a good line these past couple of years. So we've been in the top of every category. So I think it just prepares me to come and step in on the Titans defense and put my best foot forward and no matter what I'm asked to do, be able to do it. And what about the meetings with the Titans pre-draft? I'm sure you met with Coach Rable and did the conversation come up what you did to sack on our Tyler Rable? So you don't get me in trouble before I even ever get there. But yeah, so I had some meetings with Jay Robb and Coach Rable and Coach Bro and all of them. And I did, I think the second meeting I had was with Coach Rable and I brought it up to him. And he just kind of, he laughed at me and he might've cussed at me or something but besides that, it was a good little laugh. And he said I had a good game and his son will be a good player, he's still young. So it's harder for that too. Ben Arthur. Hey, Rashad, where are you situated? Where have you been situated for the draft? Like are you at home? And then what has it kind of just been like taking this all in with your family and your loved ones? Yeah, so actually I am down home in Cooper City but I am at my Cooper City, Florida. So sunny South Florida. I'm at my best friend's house from my high school, we got the little pool out here. You know, all my friends and family in there, I've had my best friend from high school, his parents and brothers, three other of my best friends from high school, their parents, my mom, dad, sister, both sets of grandparents, my college best friend, Q'shawn Camp, who's also my teammate, I lived with him all three years out of the four at Pitt and that's just my go-to right there. So just to have all that love and support around me and everybody that's helped me get here through the great times and the bad times, it's just been great and I don't know where I'd be if it wasn't for them. So I'm so thankful for them to be here and they've helped me throughout the past three days. You know, day two was, you know, a little rough on me, but I came back day three, they were all here, you know, waiting just like I was. None of them ever wavered or left and the nights got long on day one or day two, you know, and I'm just so thankful for them. So that's what I did on that. Last question for you, Glennon. Yeah, so I got a double dip to finish you off here. One, you know, I know a lot of edge rushers, it's all about obviously getting after the quarterback and not much attention is paid to stopping the run. Looks like you've got a lot of high marks in your careers being a run stopper too. How important is that for you and what's allowed you to be a good guy against the run from the edge also? To me, it's everything. You know, Coach Narduzzi and Coach Partridge, especially Coach Narduzzi, he preaches you have to stop the run. If you don't stop the run, you're not gonna get sacked, you're not gonna get hit the quarterback, you're not gonna get to do the fun stuff, stuff that gets you drafted, the stuff that gets you paid when you get in the league, those type of things. Once you stop the run, teams have to pass. So that was our mindset as a D-line. You know, we weren't mad or shy away to play against the run. We wanted to stop the run, get TFLs, stop teams that were highest in the NCAA and rushing to have their lowest game of the season. So then they had to start passing and we could just go out and have fun. So for me, I looked forward to stopping the run and because when you stop the run, it's just you're taking the old linemen so away from them because they can't block you in a run block. They definitely can't block you in a fast block. So when you're just posting guys up, shedding them and making TFLs and getting in the backfield and running backs that are used to being able to get six yards of carry or getting negative yards of carry, it just makes the game fun. That's when you get up, you celebrate with the whole defense and you get excited to start, you know, in the second quarter, third quarter, get late in the game when they can't run, get after the pass and it just makes the whole game fun. So that's something that's just been built in me through coaching Arduzi. Yeah, and then the other was, I know you touched on Michigan earlier, but, you know, as you look back at that at this point, a feeling of a lot of satisfaction. I imagine that, you know, that was where your, you know, a lot of your college experience kind of started was maybe getting the scholarship sort of revoked and here you are going in the NFL draft. Oh, yeah, you know, I mean, honestly, my whole life I always thought maybe I was a pretty, you know, revengeful or never forgive type person, but like I said, I'm an is what it is type of person. And, you know, after that freshman year of college, I was kind of over the Michigan thing. Like it was, it's a business, NCAA is a business. They got to do what they think is best for them. And I was excited that I was that pick because they wanted me, you know, when they recruited me in a week left before signed that they made it known how much they wanted me. And I was just excited to be where I was wanted. So like looking back at it, you know, I think everything, I always say everything happens for a reason. So it wasn't meant for me to go to Michigan. And who knows, I might not be getting drafted if I went there or nobody knows how that would have played out, I went to Pitt had a great career, was all American and it just got drafted to the NFL. So I just want to be thankful for them, not really think about the people that weren't too high on me. Thank you.
