Cameron Good out of cal Skyler Thompson out of Kansas State. They both jumped into the studio and a pair of

This is the Drivetime Podcast Miami's office. We've got our last two interviews of the Dolphins draft class. Let's go ahead and start right there. Up first from

cal Cameron Good. What's up Dolphins? Travis Wingfield here, the host of the Drivetime Podcast on the Miami Dolphins Podcast Network, and I'm joined today by new Dolphins outside linebacker Cameron Good Camera. What's up man, Hey, I'm excited to be here. It's great to be back. Excited to have you down here. Man, So welcome to Miami. First off, you got the call yesterday, but you get here today. Is it all hitting me yet? How does it feel? Uh, it's still still kind of

settling in. Um. But yeah, I got that call. It was crazy. It was emotional with the family, so we're all excited. I'm just really happy to be here. So go in a little bit further on that draft day set up. Give us the picture where you're watching the draft on TV. Something else to keep your mind distracted, Like what was draft day like for you? Uh? Yeah, We're sitting there in living room Watchington, Watchington draft all day. Um. I had the little cousins around, so I was kind

of playing with them. They're they're on the iPads, so I was playing the games with them. And then uh yeah, phone rang and had to pick up and saw Miami Dolphins pub up caller. I d got too excited. Were you the most excited one in the room where someone else kind of a little more pumped up for you? She I was the most excited, but I was. I was emotional, so I didn't want to show it to too much. But Mom, she was showing all of it,

so she was real pumped. So we were talking a little bit about your college career before you before before I started recording here, and I was looking back at some of your stats and your games and stuff. Two picks in college random both back for touchdowns. That's a nose for the goal line, right, yeah, she yeah, I'm I'm always trying to make plays however I can. Um. Yeah, I was in the right place and had to make

a play. He'd love to see that. Taking it back for six picking taking the job with the offense away there. But you spent six years at cal and coming from TEXASO went to Berkeley. How would you describe kind of your growth and the way your experienced there in college shaped you as a player in a person. Yeah, so that first year it was it was kind of a little bit of a culture shock. Houston and Berkeley are kind of a lot different. Um, so yeah, I just

felt like being in that situation. Um. Berkeley is very diverse, a lot of international students so, UM, a lot of very intelligent people. So I would just feel like being there, I've just grown into a man, honestly, and uh just come a long way from the kid that left Houston at eighteen. That's the idea of college, right. What went into your decision to return for that final season at cal Um that COVID year it was kind of a weird year. It didn't feel feel right to go out

that way. We only got four games. Um still felt like I had more to prove. Um. I always flit that way, but yeah, I had to come back for one more. We talked a little bit about going to Wazoo. I was a Washington State alum. You play in the Cow in the Pack twelve, so I know that you guys had a lot of good defenses down there, a lot of good coaches on the defense as well. So I was curious, how do you feel like your past rush arsenal kind of developed over the course of your

career at Cow. Yeah. So coming out of high school, I was in the edge rusher, I was I was outside linebacker, kind of more off the ball. Um they might send me on a blitz. So Um, when I first got to Cal, I kinda had to develop that past rush because I really didn't know much at all, And Um, I've had my dad had he was a d n UM, so he's kind of been helping me out. And then, um, yeah, just going through years at Cow with the coaches and just learn new moves. Still feel

like I had a lot to learn passersh. So you talk about your dad, a former fifth round traffick of the Atlanta Falcons, a family of athletes should come from. Have they given you any kind of advice about being a professional athlete and these next steps for you? Yeah, Dad's kind of been telling me um his path and what he was going through. And then, uh, but shoot I was that was a little while ago, so the NFL has kind of changed a little bit. But yeah, it's always great to hear what he has to say.

He gives a lot of great advice and he's been there. So it's all about getting the quarterback and find the football right that that hasn't change. That hasn't changed. So I think you mentioned the energy of of coach camp in Elli and Tyrone mackenzie and your media availability the other day. What was your initial impression of the two linebacker coaches here? Um, it was great. I met with them. Um, going over to defense on my visit and honestly had

me really excited. Um, that was my favorite visit. Um. I feel like I was able to develop relationship with them, and um just loving the coaching staff. Feel like everybody here's great people. Um. So yeah, it was fun. And Josh Boyer as well. DC a chance to talk with him yet, Yeah, talked to him. That's my second time talking to him. Just got done talking with him. Um. Yeah, everybody's cool. I like it, very good stuff. So I was looking at your snap count totals from last season.

You played sixty plus snaps in eight games SEVN D plus snaps in four games. Did you know that? Uh, yeah, I know something like that. That's that's crazy to me. So I had to ask you, like, what is your conditioning regiment to be on the field for that much? Because I might need to take some notes here for myself. Um. Shoot, Um, when I'm tired, it don't matter how tired, and I'm gonna go so um yeah, it doesn't matter if if it's fifty players games, seventy plays a game, if I'm

just doing special teams here, I'm gonna just go. So. Um, it's just that motor in me competitive attitude, UM, I'm always gonna just go that pair as well. With a very good three cone time that you ran sub seven seconds, which shows off your agility. I think, how do you think your agility helps you as a pass rusher? Um, I've always feel like I've been pretty agile, and I was happy to show my athleticism at pro Day. UM. So yeah, I feel like all that would come in

handy and make it impact in his leadue. Agility is a big deal. So as physicality. You talked about setting strong edge. Is that kind of a mindset game? Like? What is this kind of setting a hard edge in the run game? What's the key to that? Um? Yeah, I feel like a lot of its hand placement and then just like attitude, being physical, just knowing, Um, it's a one on one a lot of times and I

just want to win that one on one. You talk about one on one matchups, you also talked about playing baseball as a youth that's a game of all one on one matchup. So I'm curious. You know what parts of Florida did you come to play in? And you must have been on a pretty good team because you mentioned traveling from Texas to Florida. That's like, this is like one of baseball, the baseball Meca in America. So what was that like for coming down here and playing baseball? Yeah, so, um,

I've been. I went to Florida a few times. Are not Orlando, Florida a few times? Um, never been in Miami. So my first UM time in Miami was the top thirty visit. Um, I loved it. I've always loved Florida, So I knew when the Dolphins were calling as ready to go because just being out here as a kid, I fell in love with the beaches and just playing sports competing. So, um, Florida has a special place in my heart. Do some pretty good beaches around here. You'll

be in good hands there. So on the baseball field, what position did you play? Um? I played some first base, outfield, played um, middlefield, center field a lot a lot of times. UM. And then picture, I was a picture sometimes utility guy. Sounds like your versatility kind of plays bull sports in a little bit. So I was doing some more background you here and I read that you're a pretty mild mannered guy. Get the same impression from beating you here,

But when you're on the field. There's a switch lip flips right. And I was reading the story about your college roommate Josh Draden, and he said, this is a quote that I found from him. It's like James Bond or John Wick. It's like Superman going into a phone booth or a werewolf when there's a full moon. First of all, what a quote. But I just wanted to know, how do you flip that switch on game day? Um?

She it's just that it's just in me. Honestly, it's not really just flipping the switch is just kind of I don't know. It just turns on itself. So yeah, every time I'm competing, no matter if we just playing some a little board game, I'm a sort of loser, so I want to win. Flip the table over it. Yeah, So it just turns on and then shot, that energy comes out when I make a play, So yeah, I

get really excited. Yeah. I couldn't handle losing like Monopoly as a kid, even though it's just didn't sit well with me. So finally, you know what kind of person and player do you think the Dolphins are getting in Cameron Good? Um, they're getting a very coachable player. Um, I'm accountable, going to be accountable to the team. UM, teammates, UH, fans, everybody. UM, And I'm when I'm out there, I'm gonna give them all.

I'm gonna go and yeah, I'm ready to work. In the last question here, whether it's football or off the field, what's something you're looking forward to most about this opportunity here with the Dolphins or in Miami. I should say, UM, just another another chance to prove myself. UM. I feel like I've been over or underrated a lot of times in the past, so I just feel like, UM, just keep going and just keep proving myself every day. Very

good camera good makes a lot man appreciate it. And there he goes a good interview there with Dolphins seventh round draft pick Cameron Good out of the University of cal Let's go ahead and take our first break and come right back on the other side and kick this thing off here with Skyler Thompson, the finals draft pick for the Miami Dolphins in two. That's next here, Drivetime podcast, your host Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation.

What's Up Dolphins? Travis Wingfield here, the host of the Drivetime podcast on the Miami Dolphins podcast Network, and I'm joined today by new Dolphins quarterback Skyler Thompson. Skyler, what's up? Man? Not then much? First time Miami. I'm excited We're not in Kansas anymore. Right, No, it's a little bit different, but I'm excited for it. How do you compare the

two Miami and Kansas? I mean polar opposite, I mean not, there's no similarities at all other than it does get hot and humid in Kansas a little bit, but it's it's not hot and humid right now like it is here. So it's a lot different training camps. It's gets a little warm for training come down here, so you'll you'll enjoy that. But so, you know, welcome to Miami first of all. But you get here today as it all kind of hits you yet, how you feeling. Yeah, it's

still very surreal. Um. This whole process is just it's been going very fast, you know, and it was it was a crazy, crazy time. So but it was so fun, so surreal um, and it definitely is started to hit me, you know, walking through the building knowing like this is my home, you know, and I'm so excited to get down here and in a couple of weeks. I'm a day. I'm sure you will never forget and you're forever. No, that's how it goes. But I want to get a picture of your draft day set up. You know, were

you watching on TV? Did you have something else going on to kind of keep you distracted? Did you have family and friends with you? Take us through your draft set up. Yeah, well I had a lot of a lot of family in town, um with we had the draft on, we had a bunch of food available, and really we're just hanging out. I mean we were casually paying attention to the to the TV, UM kind of tracking kind of what was going on, what teams were doing. But I was I was walking to I was pacing

all over the place, me and my dad both. Um. I was not sitting still. Um you know, I was trying to stay busy, trying to stay occupied where I'm not just sitting there to one of my thumbs. And you know, just the pressure shouldn't it shouldn't feel like there's a lot of pressure, but I mean there is. You know, you put all this time and work and for for something like this, and you just it's it's you have no control over what happens. You know, you just um hoping pray that a team will will love

you enough to take you. And you know, I was very very excited whenever Miami called me. I was not expecting it. Like that was what was really cool about my experience was, um, you know, I thought they were just you know, calling to chat with me to see who was talking to me, what was going on. And the next thing I know, like there's there, You're gonna be drafted, you know, and it's gosh, it was amazing.

That's that's incredible. So we saw the moment of the call on social media, and you know, we could see the emotions, but I wanted to kind of ask you to take us through those emotions that you were feeling up what was going on in your head when that call happened, after you learn that they were going to turn the card, and and then eventually seeing on TV Skyler Thompson Miami Dolphins, I was unbelievable. I mean that that that process there is like what still hasn't hit

me that like it actually happened. Um, but that's like literally I just ever since I was a little kid, knew what a football was Like this has been my dream and to you know, see it firsthand, you know, my name on the on the TV here my name called like that was awesome and it was a dream come true. It's it's a blessing and I'm very, very

grateful for it. So you mentioned being a little bit surprised by the fact that it was the Dolphins that that got the call to you there, and I'm sure you know this, but this means that you'll be in a quarterback room that features a lot of cameos by Dan Marino. He's around the building, he sits in the meetings a lot with the quarterbacks. When you hear that,

what goes through your mind? Man, it's that's very it is incredible, you know, being able to you know, be in the same room and and uh, you know, share thoughts and try to be a sponge, you know, to one of the greatest of all time to play the position, you know, And that's that's that's amazing, just being able to be in this in the same presence, being able to you know, ask questions, to have have him as a resource, someone who's done it and done it really well,

you know. So, uh, it's uh, that's something I'm really really looking forward to whenever I get to meet meet Dan and and talk to him and and just pick his brain, be a sponge. Like I said, Yeah, he's the best who we all enjoy that. So from one legend Dan Marino, to another legend and Bill Snyder there at Kansas State just curious because he was there for how long was it a decades? Right? What did you learn about football in life from from coach Snyder? Yeah?

Well I learned, you know what discipline and hard work is, and that's the way that coach not to run his program. And if if you weren't disciplined and you didn't work hard, you weren't gonna make it. And um, I learned that as soon as I got there. You really truly gotta love the game, and you know, to be great out you gotta put in the work. You gotta be willing

to do things that other people are not. You gotta sacrifice a lot of your time, um and and dedicate a lot of yourself to the game if you want to be successful. And you know all of that, I was talking in a football form, but it really translates over to life too. I mean, anything you wanna be successful, lot you want to you know, your goals, whatever the

case may be. You gotta be disciplined, you gotta be process oriented, and you gotta work hard and and not be so focused on the results, but just focused on the process of the journey, you know, And that's what that's what makes it special. And that's that's probably what I've learned about, you know, from Coachnider the most. That's one of our cliches are on the podcast, I always

say process over results. That you're fitting right in already here on draft you know, you talked about being in locker rooms a lot and your press availability and and something Chrisper mentioned was that all the upsets you guys had at k State there you beat Oklahoma a couple of years back, and and mentioned you a lot in those in those big games and take on that leadership

role there at Kansas State. Curious to know the portants of you being a good teammate, Like, what does it what does being a good teammate here with the Dolphins look like to you? Yeah? Well, first and foremost is putting. Putting, you know, my teammates before myself. Always every decision I make, I'm putting. You know, it's for the team and it's about winning. And you know that's uh, that's the way

that I roll. You know, I'm gonna do anything and everything to help my teammates be successful and help them, you know, push them to reach their full potential, being able to challenge them, being able to be there for him, help them learn. You know, we're all in this together, and at the end of the day, we're all here to win. And and that's what I'm here to do.

And whatever whatever that may look like, whatever my role is, I'm gonna I'm gonna kill that role and I'm gonna do everything i can't help this team win and and be be successful. You know, that's that's what we're here for. That's what I'm here for. And I'm so excited to step into the facility with everybody here. You know, I started building relationships, started getting other guys um and it

started getting this thing rolling. I'm excited. That's something Coach mc daniel talked about a lot, serving the teams, serving players, and kind of doing what you can to make everybody else around you better. And he also talked about your passion for the game that really staid out to him in his press conference other night. Do you sense that same passion from him and meeting coach McDaniel, Yeah, yeah, no, Um, yeah,

we we just talked on the phone shortly last night. Um, I meet with him here in a little bit to get to know him a little bit more. But definitely, I mean I'm super excited. You can you can feel the energy, Um, you know, just talking to coach Smith and um, you know Coach Bev and you know, there's a lot of good energy here, you know, And I mean walking through the hallway and and West you know,

isn't there and like it's it's just cool. There's a lot of a lot of good energy, a lot of you know, smart, smart minded football minds that well you know, everybody's on the same page. We're all here to win. And I think that is that that's that's awesome. And you can just feel the the atmosphere and the vibes are are very positive, very motivated. You know, people are motivated here to go when and that's exciting to be

a part of. Yeah, it really is. And can can you expand a little bit on talking with coach Bev? I know you talked about him in the oppress availability, but how has it been going back and forth with coach Daryl Bevil just being able to get to know Coach Bev Obviously his his past of where he's been the quarterbacks that he's been toored and and coached, and he's telling me that, and it's like, man, like, this is a special coach that I get to get coached by.

And UM, just starting to dive into the playbook a little bit, kind of teaching me that. And now it's just kind of helping me, um, you know, prioritize things, you know, being able to categorize things to help me remember and understand things. Um. You can tell he's very process oriented and very you know, step one, step two, step three. You know, it's it's a process. And I really learned very well that way. So I'm just excited to continue to get to know more and continue to

work with him. Plenty of work to be done on the football field. Now. I took a chance to go back to your Instagram and look at just some of the stuff that was on there. I saw a really cool thing about you speaking at a Case State cancer research event. Why is that so important to you? Yeah, it was so my mother passed away with breast cancer when I was a kid, and so did my grandfather. UM,

he passed away with pancreatic cancer. So I opened up a research fund UM at Case State that basically, each year, I'm gonna select two students that go to Case State that work in that program and and give them a scholarship to help pay for their school and or pay for whatever they need for to do their research. And so UM put that event together for the first time this past weekend two weeks ago, something that we're gonna

try to do every year. UM, just to rally my family together, bring past teammates, you know, hopefully get guys to Manhattan, kind of get reunited once a year, which I think would be really cool. UM, and just being

able to raise money for a great cause. You know, it's it was special to me, you know it obviously it hits home just because I've I've experienced it, and you know, it's trying to be part of a you know, be positive, you know, just be be part of the change and continue to try to support and help as much as possible. You know, you just never you know, people don't realize it's how much like five dollars, you know, you just like the littlest donations. Um, it makes a difference.

So this has been really cool to be part of that and see it firsthand. It certainly adds up. We have an event here called Dolphins Challenge Cancer where they do a bike ride, a marathon run, you can do all kinds of things and it raises a bunch of money for cancer research every year. To look forward to that. But we also had the lu Out with two a last month, an event the raise money for a Big Brother's Little Brothers, Big Sisters, Little Sisters. Again back to Instagram,

saw that you're a big Yeah. Can you tell us about that? Yeah? Well, so I've been paired with his name is Macay, have impaired with him for five years. Um. I got into the organization whene where I got to KSE State and been part of his life for five years. Is it's been amazing. UM. I mean I got into it to have an impact on Mackay and help Mackay. You know, he needed some needed a male presence in

his life. You know, he's been single parent at home and you need somebody to look up to and kind of guide him and and and be there for him. And that's what I which had to symbolize and be for him. But you know, five years later, I look back and I like that kid's impact. And you know, just as much as I've impacted him, it's happened more.

You know. It's just like I'm walking away from it, just like man like he he came to my draft party last night and with his mom and brother, and I mean he's he's every every big moment, he's there. He came to my Bowl game. Parents drove all over the place, you know, his mom to get him to watch him play. Like It's just it's crazy. Um, it's really like he's part of my family now and and

always will be. But it's it's a it's a great organization, and um, it's so many, so many people out there that need kids, especially that need some guid guidance, needed to be loved and supported, you know, And that was why I got into it. And it was great decision. I loved it. I'm sure mckiy is going to have an awkwind Orange Skylert Thompson Jersey here pretty soon, right, Yeah, the Purple one too in case as well. So talking about being here in Miami, what are you most looking

forward to about your opportunity here with the Dolphins. Yeah, well, you know, I just think it's a great fit. I think I fit in the system well and what we're trying to do here, and you know, I'm just I'm looking forward to just getting here and getting to work. I mean, this is my ultimate dream. I can't wait to work with Teddy with two and you know, just get to know guys, to build relationships and um, you know when you know that that that's what I'm excited for.

I I'm a winner and I'm gonna bring that mentality to the locker room every day. Be positive, be consistent, support the guys, you know, be a great teammate, be a great leader, um, and and just help help this this organization keep you know, keep on the right direction and when when games, That's that's what I'm here for. That's what i want to do and whenever that takes, I'm gonna do it. So one things we love to hear it. Finally, last question for I'll get you out

of here. You know you kind of talked about it already, but if you just summarize what kind of person employer is that are the Dolphins getting in Skylar Thompson. Yeah, they're getting a winner, um first and foremost and a gamer. And I think that that's always what I've prided myself. And you know, whenever team needs to play, I'm gonna make a play for third, fourth down, whatever the case may be, I want the ball in my hands, um,

and I'm gonna make a play. I'm gonna whatever that mays, like my legs, you know, scrambling on time, whatever the case, maybe I'm gonna find a way to convert and help the team win. And that's Uh, that's something that I take a lot of pride in and and love to do. Like I love I love having that pressure. I love having those expectations of my teammates expecting me to make

a play and knowing that they trust me. And there's a lot that goes into building trust, with building relationships and putting time in the front end on those things to build that type of of trust to where then you know, the leadership role UM then really excels. And I would describe myself as a as a servant leader. Um, I'm gonna serve my teammates and make my teammates better, um, whatever that may may look like, whatever that may be whatever my teammates need, I'm gonna do it and because

ultimately that's gonna help the team win. And genuinely, you know, I have a care and love for my teammates that it's not just you know, it's not fake love. You know it's real. Um, there's a relationship there to where when we're in the heat and amidst the battle, people are going to trust me and I'm gonna give them everything I got and ultimately, you know, do whatever it takes to win. So that's what I would say. It's great stuff, great great answer. I can't go any more

than that. Skylar Thompson, Dolphins quarterback, Thanks so much for tak You appreciate, appreciate it. So there you have it, Skyler Thompson, Cameron Good, Eric Azokama, and Channing tin Dall here on the Drivetime Podcast. You can find those video interviews with some fun b roll and meet chatting with the guys up on the team YouTube channel. Let's go ahead and take our last break and come back and break down the tape of our seventh round draft picks

Cameron Good and Skyler Thompson. That's next Drivetime Podcast. Your host Travis Wingfield brought to you by Auto Nation. So you've heard from the guys. Let's go ahead now and break down their tape as we are doing this week on the Drivetime podcast and with Cameron Good the Edge from cal the first thing I noticed was that he's not trying to skimp on the run game just to focus on his pass rush stats. There's a real play the run on the way to the quarterback element of

his game. He's really good as the unblocked man on the end of staying tight to the formation and maintaining inside responsibility opposed to just running to the quarterback spot in hopes of a play pass and eventually a quarterback pressure hit or sack. And he is absolutely relentless in his pursuit of runs away from him. You know, if it's in the week side they run to the play side,

he chases those things down. And you can also see him really sift his way through the traffic of a pulling guard the play side split zone action coming across the formation to dig him out. And that's the beauty of the type of ends in this defense that usually employs right Odd Bob Phillips, Seeler, Wilkins, Butler, these are big, powerful players that can hold that edge, and the list goes on to Brandon Scarlett is the same way. Andrew

Van ginkle Man. My favorite part about Andrew Van Ginkl is that he has the look of a speed guy, but man, he plays that type of bullyball as well. It's required of the position, and the Dolphins, to a man and now with Cam and Good have a room full of guys that can do that. And he plays both sides of the formation. Lots of flipping on that col defense. We talked about his snap counts eight games. Last year's sixty plus snaps requires a lot of different

positions for him as well. He played in a lot of two gap looks where you see him shoot the hands, shock his man and then get his eyes on the football and then from there you have to disengage either left or right, depending on where the launch point for the running back is the aiming point for the running back. A lot of his pass rush wins early in his career. We're getting on the upfield shoulder with a speed rush, dropping that inside shoulder into the tackle and just staying

on balance while he cornered through the contact. But you really see the rush arsenal evolve as he goes along in his career there at Cal. There's a game against Stanford last year. He gets a third down sack uh in the second quarter, working against the right tackle, and the tackle stops gaining depth and prepares to throw the punch a little heavy step from good with an outside

dip and rip. And what that means is we're gonna throw the upfield hand onto that shoulder and rip the inside hand through so you can't get contact on it. And the tackle then kind of gets off balance like a boxer who just took a punch has to regain his balance. And then you see the thing you never want to see on an offensive lineman. He turns around and you can read the name on the back of his jersey, trying to chase the pass rusher back to

the quarterback. But we all know by the time that happens, it's far too late. Effective heavy hands that can counter the offensive lines initial punch. He's an intriguing prospect. I was consistently impressed by his work in the running game and the way he took on blocks. Good depth in that regard, and chance to make a role for himself on this football team. Next. The last pick of this year's draft of the Miami Dolphins, number two forty seven overall,

was Skyler Thompson out of Kansas State. Not Kyler out of Kansas State. Pretty Much everything he did on tape was was create plays last year, and if it wasn't a manufactured conversion, it was him getting on the move on bootlegs and working off play action naked's all that stuff. He had a really good feel for the rush and where escape routes were to get off the spot and to move those available platforms to afford himself time to

get into his throwing motion. Just consistently aware of what was going on around him and whether it was that or just standing in and letting routes developed from a clean pocket to deliver the football down the field. He was really willing to stay in the face of the fire and take a shot to deliver that good football down the field. He talked about being a gamer on the podcast. Right we just heard him talk about that.

Go watch his last career game, the Bowl game against L s U. The dude was making free rushers miss on bootlegs on fourth down, then cutting up on the sideline making another guy miss and diving for the sticks. And this game really shows the passion that coach McDaniel was talking about. Thompson's getting up pumping his fist and my goodness, the Kansas State sideline when he would make a play. You talk about fire and guys up. I mean he's he's getting up pumping the fist and those

guys are just filling it right along with him. Remember two last year dropping the show over against the Jets or making that move on the Patriots in the open field for a big run, and how that fires up the squad. Quarterbacks can really inspire a team with their playmaking. And boy, this Kansas State team loved their quarterback last year and leading that Wildcats team, I just saw a mature quarterback who was willing to hang in there and make plays, but also willing to take the check down

when the routes down the field weren't open. He just did a good job of managing games. And you hear that term game manager and it's like has this connotation of a negative, you know, trade for a quarterback, but it's the opposite. I think it's a great thing to be able to manage a game and just understand situations and don't play bigger than you have to, but manage in the game while also searching for opportunities to go big, play hunting, to get off script, out of structure, and

just do whatever it took. It was a fun tape to watch. Definitely a nice prospect to work with the develop here in the seventh round in his rookie season.
