00:00but I've been blessed to have what I deserve.

00:03But Grady Jarrett is, he's probably one or two.

00:08And I say that because of what, you know,

00:11he took a defense when he got to Clemson

00:14that was pretty uneven.

00:17And then, you know, two, three short years later,

00:21we were number one in college football

00:23in like 18 categories,

00:25the first time that that's been done,

00:27you know, in 20 plus years.

00:28And he did that, just, he put the whole team on his back

00:32and everybody followed.

00:33We, his senior year, we had eight, eight senior starters.

00:37We had, and this is a true story.

00:39Somebody, so somebody on draft day,

00:42they, we had Vic Beasley was a first rounder

00:45and Stephon Anthony on that defense

00:47that were first rounders that same year.

00:49And they said that, so one of the GMs from a school called

00:53and said, should we take Vic Beasley in the first round?

00:56And I said, yeah, you should take Vic Beasley

00:58in the first round.

00:59But if, but if you're asking me who I would take first

01:03in the first round, I said, it's Grady Jarrett.

01:05And I know they kind of snickered

01:08and they said, well, why would you take Grady Jarrett

01:10in the first round?

01:11Of course, you know, he had the measurables

01:13of a, you know, fourth or fifth rounder.

01:16And I said, because Grady Jarrett's

01:18gonna change your locker room.

01:19I said, Vic Beasley is gonna win you a game,

01:21but Grady Jarrett's gonna change your locker room.

01:24And that's what he did for the Atlanta Falcons.

01:27You know, he's a pillar in the locker room.

01:31He's a multiplier in every way.

01:33You know, he was a, you know, he was the NFL man of the year.

01:37Now he's a captain from the jump.

01:39And he did, he elevated, you know, the Falcons defense.

01:43I think in his first, his rookie year,

01:45I think he had three sacks in the Superbowl

01:47against Tom Brady.

01:48And just, man, he's a dude of dudes.

01:51That's all I would say.

01:52Whatever they're paying him, you can't pay that guy enough.
