Welcome to Miami Terron Armstead

has agreed to a deal with the Miami Dolphins. We're gonna talk to Tehron on this podcast. We're also going to get into his stats, his data, the advanced metrics, all the fun stuff that he has accomplished over the course of a brilliant, brilliant nine year career. All of that and the whole heck of a lot more from the Baptist Health Studios inside the Baptist Health Training Complex.

This is the Drive Time Podcast. To Ron Armstead, the number one ranked player on Pro Football Focus, is best player available free agent list, and the number four overall player on NFL dot Com before the franchise tags. He became the number one player after those went down, so the overall consensus number one player available from Pro Football

Focus NFL dot com. To Ron Armstead is a Miami Dolphin three time Pro bowler, giving the Dolphins pffs top ranked free agent tackle less than a week after adding the third ranked guard on Pro Football Focuses list and

number thirty one overall and Connor Williams. Here are a couple of things to look at with to Ron Armstead, because there are a lot We're gonna play some audio here from to Ron himself obviously, but also from some instructional videos and different clinics he has done with the offensive line masterminds and Duke manny Weather, and there's so much good content out there on this guy. Can't wait to bring it to you. Guys. Let's go ahead and

jump right in first up here. Nine year career. Over those nine years, just a hundred and forty three quarterback pressures and twenty four sacks from Pro Football Focus on three thousand, eight hundred twenty nine pass blocking snaps. That's a three point seven percent pressure rate and a point six percent sack rate, both of those figures best among

all NFL tackles. Between those numbers landed Armstead eight swon on Pro Football Focus is top one dred and one players of the decade for and during that decade, only Cleveland's Joe Thomas and Andrew Whitworth of the Rams and Bengals surrendered pressure late rates at a lower rate than the four point one percent granted by Armstead. So you

hear a difference in those two numbers. Those last two seasons project a Whitworth light trajectory into his late thirties because the aforementioned pressure number, ranking third among tackles for the decade, has been reduce used by point four percent

over the last two seasons. Armstead's played ninety seven career games, he started ninety three of them, being an offensive stalwart for the Saints for a long long time that produced division titles, deep playoff runs, and numerous top five offensive attacks in his time there with the Saints. The Saints finished no worse than fifth and points scored between two thousand sixteen two thousand twenty. Over that spam, Armstead anchored the left edge for fifty six games while surrendering just

seventies six quarterback pressures. That's a rate of one point three six pressures allowed per game. That's the best among all tackles over that five year spam and after playing on an offense that finished top three in passing each of his first four years in the National Football League, Armstead also blocks for a three top six rushing offenses over the last five years. He's done everything in this league so far. He's also revered by his peers and

by film gurus alike. How about former Super Bowl champion and Old bawlguard Shawn O'Hara, who had quite the monologue last week on Good Morning Football talking about who he believed was the top free agent available into Ron Armstead. Let's go ahead and play that audio. When you say monster from one monster to to another in Toront Armstead, that's a term of endearment coming from you like that. I think when you look at torontarms said on the show,

he's such a nice guy. And and you know, the other day I called him Mr T and I feel like he is Mr T. And on Sundays he turns into Clumber Lane. And right now, when you say, what's the prediction for this game? And I think when you look at that, look at Toron, say, he's not just blocking defensive ends, He's mauling them like Clumber Lane did to Rocky Balboa. All right, here he is as a left tackle right here. Okay, this is gonna be a twist. All right, this is gonna be an e t twist.

He meaning the end goes first tackles the looper. Now, as a tackle in the guard, it's always about, Hey, you've got to shut off the penetrator, pass him off to your guard, and then wait for the looper toron arms and says, look, I'm gonna handle this by myself. All right, I'm pity the fool they're trying to run a stunt on me. Look what he does to Benson Maoia right here, the defensive end, I mean, just told him.

You want to talk about Monster's ball right here? Look at him, just ragged him, throw him on the ground. They didn't even bother to block the defensive tackle that's looping around because he's just too busy toying with this defensive end. Look, I mean, that's a grown man. This is the NFL, right here. This is not like, hey, Division one Double A going up against some B squad right here. All right, how about in the run game, let's talk about moving people at the point of attack.

I want you to watch him. He's on the back side of his play right here, but Alviut Camara cuts it back and look, you know what Mr t has right here. He's got what I call a coupon. He's got a two for one. He's gonna block two guys on this. Look at what he does on the back side of his play, basically three guys right there. He's gotta buy two get one free coupon to go along with that. I mean, look at that that wall right here, that Toronto Armstead creative for Alvin Camarre. Okay, you can

run through that hole right there. I mean that's a lot of green right there. Ron Armstead on the back side of that play. I know you, I know you're quick. You've got a great burst screen acceleration. All right, So let's go on to the third play right here. Remember that touchdown, that six game touchdown alvi Camara hand on Christmas Day. This is a big part of it right here. Now, this defensive end right here is in a k M A technique right now, which stands for kick my rror.

On St. Patrick's Day, we can say that look at the movement right here. He gets on this defense event and I want you to watch the finish right here. Watch. I mean this is going belly to belly sup lex right here, and this defensive end right now is on one leg. He is until right here and Tehron is taking up for a ride on the Armstead train. And look at this. I mean you want to talk about

posterizing a defensive end for offensive linement. This is the epitome of Scottie Pippen dunking on Patrick Ewing right here posterizing the defensive end. I think he took his helmet off right there so that he gets smile to the fans and let everybody know what he's just into that Vikings defensive endge Ron Armstead. Look, he is super athletic. Everybody remembers him running a four seven one still the

fastest time at the combine from an offensive linement. His athleticism is only outdone by how physical he actually is. He's got great feet, but you could see the strength and the power right there. Look, Toront Armstead still out there. If you are a team that is struggling to protect your quarterback, where you want an injection of run game brutality, This is the guy that will bring it home. I look, I would love for my gma to bring him in, but he's he's out there okay, and I'm sure you'll

be out there much longer. So there you go. I'm not gonna be out there much longer. He was not. He is now a Miami Dolphin. Again. That's Good Morning Football. You can watch that week days, every single day, Monday through Friday on the NFL Network. So we're gonna have a bunch of video clip I'm gonna put with guys that I've are from folks. I have found clips of Toron Armstead doing some of the stuff Shanahara talked about their Brandon Thorne as well as Ben Finel, Fennel and

Brian Baldinger. Plenty of guys putting great content out there with all the work this guy's this guy does, and Brandon Thorne, who owns the Trench Warfare news stack and has a podcast that's really good about offensive line play. He says that Tehran Armstead has PhD level tackle play here. That's how he describes the abilities that really serve in dual functionality. Not only does Armstead's mastery of the craft

make him one of the NFL's sturdiest offensive lineman. It has that ripple effect and augmenting other players across the offensive line, like you heard O'Hara talk about there with some of those stunts in games he picked up helping clear out too defensive lineman on a cutback run by Alvin Kamara to spring him for a big run. Not only is he easing the load of the left guard next to him, he's taking pressure off the opposite side

of the offensive line. Where there's a clip that I'm gonna share with you guys on Twitter by Duke manny Weather at Big Duke fifty where he comes all the way across the formation and picks up an overload blitz from the right side of the offensive line. He comes all the way over the vision, the awareness, the understanding of the rush scheme of the defense and how to get there, the athletic ability to get there, that's only going to help the entire offensive line play better football.

And then from there, the ability to slide protection like okay, let's go ahead and get their best pass rusher out there isolate Armstead, slide everybody else over and double and help and chip and help pick up the overload pressure they might throw, and you can let to Ron Arms that go out there and block the other team's best because he's capable of doing that, and you can still count on him to lock that down to come across the formation pick up the overload blitz. That's the PhD

level comparison that you're talking about there. Speaking of helping his teammates, just ask the guards who have played alongside to Ron Armstead. Jerry Evans made back to back Pro Bowls in his first in Armstead's first two seasons, but to be fair, Evans was already a four time Pro bowler prior to Armstead's arrival. But then the Saints needed to replace Evans when he hung up his cleats. Enter Larry Warford, who didn't coproble his first four years in

the NFL, each with the Detroit Lions. Then he comes to New Orleans. What does he do? Three straight years three straight Pro Bowl seventeen nineteen, never missing the All Star Game in those three years. In the second year of Warford's tenure in New Orleans, their other guard, Andrew's Pete, became the next man in the middle to earn a Pro Bowl nod in three consecutive seasons through and then finally the other book nd Ryan Ramcheck was drafted was

great right away. Wasn't a Pro Bowl selection his sophomore season, but he was voted to a p All Pro second team, which is a better distinction in my opinion. So Armstead and ram Check combined for the fewest pressures allowed per pass blocking rep of any tackle that year. Ineen, and you heard O'Hara talk about the four which still stands as the best forty yard dash time from an offensive tackle in NFL history. Look, elite physical traits are always

gonna get a player's foot in the door. Perhaps it was that skill set that got Armstead on the NFL's radar. His four seven one forty yard dash the asked us ever by a tackle remains that way going back, and the entirety of Armstead's workout put him in rarefied air. From a physical standpoint nine point five eight ranks twenty second all time on the Relative Athletics scorecard, that, of course, is the cumulative combined workout scorecard, twenty second all time

of over sevent offensive tackles. The movement skills make him a match made in heaven for his own scheme that asks you to get out wide, get out in space, and inflict that will off the edge. And he also pairs those eye popping physical traits with a true mastery of the game. Again, his ability to mix up his sets. You'll see these videos I post on Twitter, and the punches he throws in pass pro it can derail even the best pass rushers the entire National Football League has

to offer. He has this way of drawing out the oppositions move early in the in the rep, which gives him the advantage even if his quick set or his quick his shorten the distance set puts him at a momentary disadvantage. His ability to mix up his set and shorten those angles is achievable without consequence because of the balance and smoothweight transfer and the typewriter feat he has. Man go, there's a clip I put out there of him in practice where he's just working against a Patriots

pass rusher and joint practices and the feet. Man, it's it's like Laramie Tunsel was when he was when he was coming out. It's it's better than that. It's really really good. And you just watch his consistent hand placement. To me, it's like watching I told you guys, I was really into solo climbing a few months ago on Netflix in the different documentaries, it reminds me of a

solo climber. Once those hands click in and they engage, they click into place, it's onto the next rep because his grip strength is so good he's not going to get beat from there. Finally, the mentorship and advocacy for HBC use historically black colleges and universities because Armstead nine years of pro came out of Arkansas Pine Bluff. There was a great clip of him talking to Cameron Wolf. We all know Cam with the NFL Network does great

work for them, and here in Miami. He had a great interview with Toron Armstead talking about his origins and give thing back to the players that were trying to follow his footsteps. He said, I dedicate a lot of my success and makeup of who I am or who have become as a man and as a player to my experience in Arkansas Pine Bluff being that HBCU player that kind of get out of the mud mentality. So coming to the NFL, just having that chip on my shoulder of being a small school guy and then he

also talked about the mentorship of the younger guys. Quote. I sat with a large amount of players yesterday for about an hour and a half, and we talked about finances, we talked career, we talked everything. It was great. Those guys were so locked in. I think they clenched onto every word. It was an amazing time. End quote. How about in Miami, Armstead joins the Miami offensive line room with an average age of twenty four point six years old.

In addition to his on field performance, the wealth of wisdom that arms said has to offer a young line, a line that started five players in week Gate team last year that season finale went over, the Patriots started five players who were either drafted or undrafted, acquired within the last three years through the draft through college in

a victory. It's quantifiable the amount of experience and wealth that he can inflict or in part I should say on the rest of the offensive line and whether with NFL teammates are mentoring college players looking to follow his career path. The book on Armstead's character, it's just it remains untarnished compared to what I've seen out there. I mean, here's a great quote Torn arms that exemplifies everything that is great about HBCUs. We thank him for his generous

support and commitment. That was Doug Williams Super Bowl twenty two m VP. So tons of good stuff. Let's go ahead and take our first break here on this edition of the Drivetime Podcast, the Tahrn Armstead. Welcome to Miami edition of the Drivetime Podcast. Next, I want to play some clips I found from those offensive line masterminds, clinics and all the stuff he offers. And then the third segment, we're gonna get the big fellow on the podcast. Here

to Ron Armstead joining us on Drivetime. Coming up next with Travis Wingfield, brought to you by Auto Nation. So we talked about in the opening segment there the impact that Torn Armstead could have on younger players on the offensive line and the work he does with Duke manny Weather and the offensive line masterminds. Here's what Duke manny

Weather tweeted about the Dolphins addition of Torn Armstead. The Dolphins just got a culture changer that can do it all in the past, protection and the run game, but we'll also bring the young guys along with him. And because of that, you win games because of Tahrn Armstead, very very high praise. They're from, in my opinion, the best offensive line mind out there right now outside of the game itself. The guy on the outside that doesn't work with these guys and gets these young guys ready.

Duke Manu weathers as good as it gets. Let's go ahead and hear this one minute clip of Armstead addressing people or that the the offensive talent as well as coaches and and scouts alike at the offensive line masterminds clinic urt yourself to lane to gay on my salf train is great to had account. But the whole thing about development, it's fun in that the blueprint is out there, all the families, every technique is out there. Just stop

a role out of stuff there. Everything evolves and development plint. Once you put like I watched the train and I take something from training. I watch Ja Jason Peter jumpson. I feel like mutasames of my camp. So I took his jump set. I watched Tweran like its forty five degree set. It's consistent, is the same. He squeared he's strong at his base, so I took that from him.

I can say nothing from we work well. He's building when he played, it's not it's not my comp So just building that that whole and then I found my my game. But then all those players, like people that's been doing it well for a long time, all my young guys in New Orleans, I make them do that, like watch them take two guys, write them up to see how it compares, what do you do well, and try to implement it. Given out homework to the young

guys there are in New Orleans. I love that thought process of finding guys that have similar skill sets and similar traits as you and then find a way to implement what they do well into your game. That's great stuff there from Toronto Armstead. And then you know Duke many Weather talks about the impact you can have in

the young guys. You hear it right there. Let's go back to the offensive masterminds here in a post that Duke manny Weather put up back in teen talking about when you really deep dive into the thought process and the mental of very slash elite players, you find that they have mastered the fundamentals which allows them to see and do things differently than most. Here's to run Armstead

talking about that an offensive line masterminds back in. That's that's the biggest that's the biggest key to the whole things is to to get there under control. I'm more comfortable with a type five, So regards where he originally lines up, I want them earned him. Duke started the type of this is this is my compass on the right here, and I can get my hands on them. Now we started that line. I'm gonna take the necessary footwork to get him mad to this type. And it's

all about the small steps to be a show. So get go back. I just beauties when I gotta come. You know, he does a big, small level, big conso with the right, but by the time to get back, he's back in his big He just turned that one too far. He's up in front of the class teaching them about how to how to attack different techniques and different leverages, how to shorten a nine technique into a five technique by your footwork and coming in under control again.

Just a guy that's gonna serve in so many positive ways, both on the field, but also on the way he coaches and the way he sees things and the way he gets guys prepared. Going to be a big asset there to Frank Smith, to Matt apple Bomb, to Mike McDaniels, to the entire offensive line and the entire offense. Just the way this guy works, it's such a big impact. And you can get a guy like that into your building.

So to Ron Armstead here in Miami, let's go ahead and hear him talking about bringing the hands in the running game and the and the power of your hands as an offensive lineman to help dictate reps um with staring and staring with a strong, sane man against both of them. He just understood the letters. Where how did you guys? Uh? He always telling from you buck my hands and running can get his hands in a lot of time, no under but as he worked his speed.

He's president. He's president. And again it's like a guy he one way. So you get a guy that would be and reached many time he accelerated into the ground. Yeah, So I don't put you about the hands and run game president a lot and back especially outside if you gotta be ship running understanding the bass from the club, he's got to go back face having a lot that lot it is, I won't be impressively. Don't forget about your hands in the running game was the message there again,

I'm not gonna play all these for you guys. There are so many of them. He's just he's made his rounds on social media because he has so many impressive clips, both as a mentor, as a teacher, but especially and more importantly as a player on the field. Man, he's so impressive. I can't wait any more to get him on here. I'm sure you guys are sick of hair and me talk and you want to hear to Ron himself.

Let's go ahead and do that. Take our last break here on the torn Arms and edition of the Drivetime podcast. Welcome to Miami, Big fella, brought to you by Auto Nation. What's up? Dolphins? Travis Wingfield here, the host of the Drift Time Podcast, and I am joined today by new Dolphins offensive tackle to Ron Armstead. To Ron, what's going on? Man?

What's going on? Travis? Thank you for having me. Happy to have you, and I gotta ask you been the jersey A new collection, new item to the collection or have you had that for a while? New item to the collection, I'll be honest, new item to the collection. Always been a big Marino fan, you know. I always been a big football fan, so you always respect to the legends, you know, the Hall of famers in I saw Dan on my visit. Uh, it was just shocked to meet him in person. So it was only right

there to get new jersey. You weren't wearing that, were you know? I was just gonna say, if you're wearing that, it's a great first impression. That's awesome, too good, too good. So talking about a quarterback, you know, are you gonna be hitting up Teddy here to kind of get some some lay the land about where to go in South Florida? Are your former teammate? Oh? For sure, for sure? You know Teddy, he's from here, He's from Miami. Uh, that's

that's my brother. You know, talk to him all the time. Actually, gonna call him when I when I leave here today. Just trying to figure out exactly where I'll be living, living, restaurants, things to go, do, all that good, all that good stuff. So, you know, we talked about the decision to come here to Miami. What was ultimately the deciding factor for you just signed with the Dolphins. Man, Everything just felt perfect, honestly, Uh, you know, time and alignment, it just it just felt

like the exact place that I needed to be. UM, the the fans, we're showing so much love, reaching out just expressing their one for me. Then the team, the front office, the coaches, they just expressed how much they wanted me in this building, being to be a part of his team. The vision that that that we have moving forward. Uh man, it was it was a no brainer. Really. We love to hear the fans are all on your

corner now. And then getting you that recruiting pitch a little bit there on social works here you go, you guys here there first, So you come into an offensive line room that has a lot of young talented players here, how do you think that you're experience and wisdom can really help out the entirety of that Dolphin's offensive line? Uh yeah, just just just really that, you know, coming with my experience being vocal and leading by example. UM. You know, I I know what it takes to perform

at the high level up front. I know how hard it is, UM, and I know how it's not our very rewarding position. You know. We we do we do our work, We do our job, and that's it. That's what we're supposed to do. And Uh, we're not that. We're not the glory spots. We're not scoring touchdown celebrating so um making making guys comfortable with that or just thrive for that self gratification or gratification between ourselves when we know what our impact is. UM, that's the standard.

That's the standard where we're stepping out to have impact blocks, make plays. You know. So you see Tarik and Waddle make plays, make touchdowns, we're making touch downs. They just look different opening the whole the same same level exciting for you is just for those guys running in and listen, it's nothing better than me having a big impact block and and running back scoring off my block. So that's my touchdown, Like I want the ball, really, I want

the baown. There's a couple of clips of you in that six touchdown game from Camara back against the Vikings where you took a guy all the way off the sidelines, and that's like my favorite clips I've ever seen in

my entire life from an office. Really good. And speaking of that, you know, I saw some clips of you also, you know, talking about working with younger guys, the offensive line masterminds is something something that you're very into and very involved with How did you kind of discover that passion for helping younger players and why is it so important for you to kind of impart your wisdom on

the next generation. I mean, I think it's just kind of natural for me to uh share my knowledge and experience. Um you know, I feel like I have a lot of leadership qualities that has been ingrained in me through my upbringing and then my early years in the league. Um So, my trainer, Duke many Weather, he puts that platform together and it's just a great time to to balance ideas off each other, to just talk through different situations and scenarios that come up while playing this game.

Uh So, Online Masterminds is a perfect platform for a guy's young and veterans to to come in and just learn to get different ideas and understand we're all trying to do the same job. It can be done different ways, different technique, different terminology, but we're all trying to complete the same objective. It's it's fun to watch me. I've been I've been going back over those. There's a whole bunch of them. Duke posts them on Twitter, so they're

they're available for you on Twitter. There but you also did an interview at the HBCU Legacy Bowl this past offseason talking about mentoring the players at that game. Why is it so important for you to pay it forward to an HBCUs coming from Arkansas Pine Bluff like you did. I know that, I know the road, Uh, and it is a it is a longer row, honestly, you know. Um, just different, different opportunities and access that you have at

these smaller schools compared to the bigger ones. So you just gotta understand the value of staying course, staying hungry, uh, putting your best foot forward, learn how to be professional. Um. So a lot of other schools have alumni that come back and just share their experiences that small schools we don't, not not as much, not as frequent, we get a chance to hear it and know what to expect on

that on that next level. So I think it's important to just be able to articulate that, you know, spread that that knowledge and experience. Definitely talking about you know, the leadership qualities. Wanna talk some football with you, now? What about this offense that you've seen from you know,

tape or just experience around the National Football League? How do you think this offense suit your skill set, that that that word perfect comes comes right back to play like U for what I like to do be explosive, physical, get out and run play fast. Uh this this is that you know, we get a chance to go. Uh you know we want to we want to turn these games into two track meets. And we have a track We have a track team, but we have a physical track team and that we we will never the front line.

We can never let that be foreshadowed by by the speed. Like that physicality has to be our number one implement and then the speed kills all plays together definitely. So you also reunite here with Frank Smith, Dolphins, our offensive coordinator, former offensive line asistant there in New Orleans where the Dolphins have here in Frank Smith, And how would you describe your relationship with him? He's just a very special individual. Uh,

really cerebral guy, intelligent man. Um he was my assistant on line coach my rookie year in New Orleans, so ten years ago. And uh that impression that he left on me nine years later, help was it was? It was instrumental for me coming back reuniting with him again. You know, So having him. His uh, the way he sees the game is is different, It is unique, and it works. He's had a ton of success in his coaching career UM, and I think pair with Mike is

even more crazed to masterminds. Frank is a guy that that understands who he is as a coach and and what he does best is allow players to understand who they are. And you'll be surprised at how frequent NFL players don't have the confidence uh and knowing who they are as a player, finding ways to play to their strengths talent, talent and abilities. Frank does a great job of getting that out of players so they can put

it on. That's perfect. That goes back to something you talked about masterminds when you mentioned like know about who got who's who, different guys that have your type of skill sets that you can use and take what they use and put into your game. That's great stuff. Obviously, you come here also to block for quarterback to a Tongkavaloa. What do you like about his game? I think he's as accurate and as precise as I've I've ever seen. UM really smart. I know some of his college teammates,

so they talk about them, they all love them. Um, I'm excited to meet him, excited to block form, put myself on the line for him, make sure the other guys are doing the same at all times. So, um, listen, this, this whole everything and this and this totality, I'm excited about it definitely tells us that a chance to meet coach McDaniel. Yet listen, man, Mike, Mike is great. Men. The energy, the energy is bringing, just the viber. He's excited.

He's just man, and and it's contagious that that energy is contagious. Like I know how I can have a feel for how practice will be from the from the energy, from the competition. Just I like it. I'm ready. How about coach I have? I have Matt met Matt talked to him for a while. Uh, really smart, really smart football mind. Uh been back and forth between college and the pro. So from that developmental standpoint, he understands it. He knows how to how to get that that that done.

And then um, having an NFL experience too, he knows how to deal with veterans like myself. He's a guy where he doesn't feel like you know everything won't won't be a dictator in the room. You know, this is a man's business, you know, where we're all grown man. So being able to work with each other, Um, it's it's been. It's been great talking to talking to Matt. I'm excited to work with him and in depth learned from him. I'm excited to be coach. By thing, it's

gonna be great. His players at BC loved him. I have a chance to catch up with those guys at the combine. They were effusive in their praise of coach Applebaum. So you know, you come into this position with the Dolphins after a nine year career in New Orleans, and you know, so many other linemen now are showing this longevity across the National Football League, playing well into their thirties. I mean, Andrew Witworth just retired it was at forty

forty years old. So how is that accomplished? Do you think? How do how do guys on the offensive line have longer careers nowadays? I just understanding the game really, uh, playing smart, really really knowing how to get the job done, angles leverage physicality. Um, you know, you gotta be blessed and fortunate to have health. You know not not too many serious injuries or season ending injuries and things like that. Um, So it's a it's a it's a collection of thing,

but collection of things. But you have to be uh smart cerebal player. You gotta be able to know the game and know how to diagnose the game to play so long because it's new talent that comes in. New talent comes in, so the game evolves at all times. It's a lot more open and spacing and passing than it was back in the day when running the ball so much. So um being able to adapt to that, the evolution of the game, the the excess and knows

being being a student of it. It speaks to the few that's been able to do it at such a high level for so long. You know that as well as anybody. I think your first four years you guys like a top four passing offense, and then ther next four years like top four rushing offenses. So back and forth in New Orleans. So I want to go away

from football here for just a second. One thing I think that those are the linements don't have that you have is the bars your raptor you're I've seen a few videos of them are you looking forward to continue that down here? Oh yeah, no, for sure. For sure. The music is it's a part of me. I've been doing it for a long time. You know. We started rapping in high school. Uh been doing it since. Just

started putting it on like big platforms. Though. Um So now that I put my first few singles on all streaming platforms, you know, one of them kind of took off more than I ever even imagined. Uh dropped the album album deal. Well now just it's time to put out and put out more music and I love doing it more content. We'll take that one more question for

you here at Toron. So you have an opportunity here in Miami, whether it's on the football field, whether it's in the community, whether it's going out and and just learning the area of South Florida.
