So to that regard, as you're getting ready for
this upcoming season, you've already accomplished so much so
early in your career. What are the things you're
working on to try and still improve? Oh,
yeah, man, it's still a lot of room
for me to improve. You know, I still
got a lot of space to get better. Um
I'm still young so, you know what I'm saying
? Just learning, still learning offense a lot more
. Um You know, just making myself more useful
as possible. The, the one thing I've noticed
, I've, I've had the good fortune to play
with and against great players and Hall of Famers.
And one thing I found common in all of them
is they're not satisfied where they are. What,
what's, what's more, what's next? So your
stats have been incredible for the first two years,
but in your mind, what's more for you to
be able to do for this team? Yeah,
definitely a lot. Um probably have a big role
, you know what I'm saying? I gotta make
more contested catches. Um You know what I'm saying
? So the, the, the things that I
, I didn't all the way have all the way
, didn't succeed in that year. You know what
I'm saying? That's what I want to bring to
the table this year. You know, all of
that. Uh, listen, part of your guy's
success has also been the guy throwing you the football
who you've known since college and he's got the most
important calf in the Midwest right now. So,
how is Joe Burrow doing? And are, are
you personally keeping tabs on his rehab? You've obviously
made a lot of news saying you really want him
to hold off until he's ready to come back.
So, how is he doing? Yeah. Uh
, I still don't know exactly how he's doing.
You know, I see him in a building every
here and there. Uh, he's been at practice
a little bit too. So, uh, I'll
never ask him how, how, you know,
how the treatment going, you know, I'm always
got him in my prayers and just make sure he's
going through the right process right now. But you
, you would, you would rather him wait longer
than shorter, right to get back on the field
just to make sure 100% just to make sure he's
back 100. Um, you know, the team
really needs him, you know what I'm saying?
He knows he's a special player for us and,
you know, it's, it's not much for me
to say here, but he knows. So,
you know, just take his time to get back
and be 100.
