 because we have, oh my gosh, is this the best running back in the 2023 NFL Draft Tank? Bigsby, he's got the strength, he's got the speed, he's coming fresh off his pro day. Tank Bigsby on the show after this, can't wait to get to know him. Yes, oof, four, four, six, this is the Auburn pro day. They can't even keep the camera on him. He's moving that fast. We have an NFL Draft prospect on the show today. He is an incredible one. I just wanted to keep an eye on potentially the first running back off the board, 2021 SEC Freshman of the Year, and running back for the Auburn Tigers. He racked up, let me just get this right. Over 2,900 yards, 25 touchdowns, in three years wearing navy blue and orange tank. Bigsby, good morning. How you doing, good morning. Good, I wish I, my name's Kaye. I wish my name was Tank. It wasn't always Tank for you though, it was Cartavius Bigsby somewhere along the way. You adopt this persona, this nickname. What's the origin story of Tank? So when I was growing up, I was in the rec league and my mom was at the game and I was running the ball, my helmet came off and I continued to run and scored a touchdown and I came to the sideline and jumped with my teammates and she had looked at me and she said, you're running like a Tank. So from that day forward, is as she been calling me Tank and that was like when I was like seven, eight years old. So ever since then I've been called Tank. And she was right, you scored 10 touchdowns last year, 25 in three years as this running back for this big school, this incredible program. You are clearly excited to get to the NFL and see what kind of damage you can do as a Tank there. When you look at your time at Auburn and those three years, whether it was on and off the field, football or otherwise, what was your favorite memory? Favorite memory was with my teammates, you know, and being around Coach Cadillac, he taught me so much and he just, he's a great guy in general, like he just, he feeds you great energy. He teach you great things. And my teammates just competing together, being enjoyed in here. You know, I never forget that. That was one of the greatest moments in my life. Just playing there, hand that crowd under my feet. It's, John, the hair is different. The crowd, you can hit a crowd shaking. Like it's nice. And those are my favorite members that Auburn, the fans, I love them. They have you back and it's just, it's something great to do in life. You know, go to Auburn is something that's great. Like I always wanted to play there and it's a goal that I accomplished and I love that school to death. You can tell that it means something to you. And now you're trying to go to the NFL. You go to Indianapolis, you have a great combine. But I am hearing from people I know from things I'm reading, even rave reviews from your pro day performance yesterday. And you showed even from the combat, a lot of improvement. They clocked you, like we said, mid four fours. You crushed it in your positional drills. What was the key to taking things to another level yesterday? Well, just, just locking in, just focused on myself being me. You know, it had to come by and there was a lot of stuff going on from we're doing medical, we're doing testing, we're doing all type of stuff. So, you know, I was able to focus on myself, you know, and went out there and accomplished what I had to accomplish, had the mindset of being dominant. And I told myself, that's what I have to do. So I went out there and handled my business. Tank you really, and you mentioned your business. You were caught saying something about your time to make that money. What did you say? Yeah, I was warming up, talking to myself. You know, I have these times when I just tell myself and build myself confidence up. And I be, I was talking to myself and I said, it's time to make this money for it. And everybody called me for on my team. See everybody like the media called me tank, but I call myself for sometime. And like I said, it's time to make this money for it. And I locked in and I just blocked all the noise out and just went, went ahead and did what I had to do. You said you call yourself, what did you say? I call myself for the number four. They be like, what's up for it? What's up for it? So like the guys on the team, they be like four, four, four, what's up for it? And they call me tank too, but just a quick term of four, because I've always been number four. They call me four. Yeah. Well, you ran about a four. You ran about, I mean, the camera could not keep up with you when you were smoke. I mean, it was amazing. And then the other thing is you have a college legend, but an NFL legend in his own right, Cam Newton out there, an MVP in the national football league. And he was there yesterday. He wants to get back into the NFL as well. What did you notice or pick up from just being around him even? What was that experience like? He's himself, you know, he's comfortable wherever he at because he's like, he's himself. And he always bring your energy, he always been positive. You know, when he was throwing the ball, he tapped me up and he was like, let's go, bro. And I'm like, yeah, let's go. And just being around the Auburn legend who did it before me, that speaks about Auburn and let you know how we are with family. We always come back to each other. We're like a brotherhood and Cam Newton is, he's a great guy. His energy great. He had told the people he said, hey, man, it's dead. They had turned some music on. So they had turned the music on. He just did the most thing. I mean, he, they call him Superman. I don't know if everyone can see if you can lift up your shirt. That's, you've got the anti-hero. You're rocking the spawn villain vibes on the show this morning. What's that about? I like, I like Griffith shirt, graphic shirts a lot. I've got to have a lot of them. And, you know, I'm just a graphic guy and I wear different type of stuff. My favorite hero is probably Batman. You know, cause he just was different, sneaky in a kind of low key. He wasn't in the mix everywhere, flying everywhere, showing people with spiderwebs and stuff like that. So he was, that was my favorite hero growing up. But I just, I love graphics. I love stuff that, that means something or, you know, you can tell like it catch your attention. Yeah. You're a graphic guy. You're a speed guy. You're also a family guy. We're going to talk about that because you and your mom, you guys grew up in LaGrange with your family. And when that moment comes and you're with them, as I, as I heard that you'll be decided hanging out with them there on draft weekend. What's the one word to describe what it will be like taking that moment in with them when you find out where you're going to go? I'm sure it'll be a feeling that you can't explain. You know, you've been working all your life to get where you're trying to be at right now. You know, out of 100% of people is 1% lead. It's a 1% lead. You know, a lot of people don't get this opportunity. And I feel like that, that right there would be a feeling that no one can understand. Like it's just a feeling like when I go out there on the football field, a feeling of pop up that's unexplainable. And I'll be so happy, you know, where it is. And you know, I know my mom gonna be right by my side. That's like my best friend. And you know, we, we've overcame a lot of things and adversity. So I feel, I feel like it's gonna be great for us. Do you think you'll, you should go number one at the running back position. Does it matter to you or what is important to you about that night and where you go? You know, just getting in a great scheme. And if I can be me, you know, play ball. I want to play ball for a long time. I want to get around guys that actually love football, that actually want to be where they at, where they feel that. And you know, you know, people, people ask those questions all the time about how you feel about the process, how you feel about your ranking, how you feel about, I really, I've never been a guy to type your attention to those things. And I just, I like to show up and do what I have to do and be my best every time I get an opportunity. Because you never know when it's your last opportunity to play football. And so I always just, every time I get an opportunity, I try to go 150% every time. Is there something you want, you know, coaches will see this, this will be all over Twitter, of course, it'll be, you know, we're live on the show. These guys are looking and I know that they've picked apart everything, your combined interviews, all of that. What do you want everybody out there to know when they're making these decisions on their board about what is special about Tank? Well, you're getting the best player like me. I'm breaking my best every day. I'm the type of guy that try to be as consistent as I can be. And 150%, like I was just saying, I go hard every day. That's the only stride I know. Yesterday I was doing receiver work and then I had to go right to running back work. And then it was like, you want to break? I was like, nah, we can keep going, we can keep going, let's get it. And just working, you know, I love to work. I want to be around guys that love to work too. So when you're getting me, you're getting one of the best and you're gonna get my best effort every time. You're wearing the spawned villain shirt. We're talking superheroes, we're talking Batman, all of that. What is Tank Big B's super power? What is your like best thing, your best skill that you would say that is? My best skill, I would say is, like on the field or off the field? What would you say? Either. Either? Well, I feel like I can really cook. But on the field, I feel like a beast, you know, I feel like I can run through people, I feel like I can run past people, I feel like in two people, I feel like just elusive. I feel great on the field. It's like, like you said, it's like a power that's coping out your blood and you're just like, okay, it's time to go. Now, does you mean you cook, like you cook on the field or you can cook, cook like in the kitchen too? Both. I can do both. What is the go-to meal? I love to cook pasta. You know, we cook all types of pastas and I don't, I don't, I never really grill my steaks. I put them in the oven and I like leave them out all night and I like make them soft, I tender them out and stuff and I just put them in the oven and they'd be real tender and they'd be great, you know. Wow, pennella tank. Listen, there's 32 teams that need running backs and you're talking about a guy who can cook. Your mom obviously taught you well. You've got your head on straight. You've got, I can tell that you've got, you're a hard worker. You've got a chip on your shoulder though. Like I know that you want, you want what you want and you're gonna go get it and you can cook on the field as well. Four, four-ish, 40 at your pro day yesterday with Auburn. You're gonna be in front of the media a lot and you're gonna handle it really well in the league over the next couple of years but we're gonna do a quick one minute rapid fire as many questions as you can answer. They're all super fun. So these are sort of just to get to know you and get your favorites. Okay, let's get a minute on the clock. Favorite cheat meal. You said favorite cheat meal? Yeah.
