Kono can you size up I guess how you felt maybe you were 12 practices ago and now where deal you're at now uh 12 practices ago I say we'll just out here getting our feet wet getting back to the movements that we used to wasn't too much of a turnaround you feel me we just ended just U Georgia game what December so I'm right back so I feel and up to now I feel like I'm in a good position just keep on grinding Johnny gone Keon gone did you feel like an opportunity to present itself this year that might not been around um not really it just I for every opportunity I get I take advantage I'll take advantage of it so you feel me any opportunity I present itself like yeah there a beo opportunity I should have I should you feel me be more productive be this that towards offense but it's still a day a day byday step I mean process taking it Taking that of Time how how frustrating was last you you might have been the best receiver all spring last spring talking with the injury you had to deal with you didn't get chance to get your under and get a lot of how frustrating was that uh and then was the guy we saw against Georgia more of the guy we would have seen all season if he been um yeah the injury it setting back a little bit but me I'm not I'm not a selfish person so it just next person up in line be rooting from them from the Seline until I get back so you feel me it was an easy transition Keon coming over CLA him up this and that you feel me have him you feel me give him the best Spirit while he out there on the field I'm on the sideline you feel me but when I did come back that Georgia game yeah I feel like it was a little a little burst of what I could uh showcase for next season even though I wasn't 100% but do you feel like you carried that over into this this spring a little bit yeah I feel like Carri that over a little bit into the spring and just keep on working what have you beening on What's um 50 50/50 balls um staying staying tight to the line quarterback space for the throws and uh speed keep on working yeah I thought last year when you came back from the injury one of the first things that like really stood out was the blocking right away like you were blocking all game with some smaller receivers this year in practice you're going up against what do you have to learn like differently blocking like you're not blocking a fake Johnny B or sorry small Corners sorry um well it's still the same you feel me want tight hand side elbows on everything you want to get a holding car but with the smaller receiver you got to really put your pad level lower and with the taller I mean with the smaller corn you got to put your pad level lower in the taller corner and it's like more like your height so you really don't got to bend as much but you still want to get lower than the uh lower than the DB to have you feel me good blocking and with the blocking you can't lose block you may lose something else but blocking should be the number one thing for you feel me receiver like last year's offense kind of built off what you guys did in 2022 does this offense feel like it's kind of reset like a new page that you guys are you building off what you did last uh a little bit of both I want to say we still got some pieces some new pieces you feel me espe with the quarterback with the quarterback R we got you feel me got DJ coming in so he trying to get used to the offense and you got Malik on the outside with a couple new freshman and transfers that just came in that could be very good so it just like a little bit of both you trying to get the younger people eom with what we were going through last year and a few years ago let me know are you guys a fashion this yeah I feel like we're fashion R this year yeah the young guys rolling guy rolling jayen Brown oh I want to say jayen brown rolling cam rolling jakai you know jaky always rolling so yeah what's uh DJ been like for you guys what has he brought to the table uh DJ he brought uh what it call it like a quarterback that's want to get the ball to the receiver you feel me stand in the pocket go throw the ball and after every play he going to look at you ask you um what could I did better what could you did better trying to get on the same page as a receiver as a QB should is it cool when a guy like malens shows up and wants to be a leader oh no room room open room open for anybody to be a lead you could be the person who just came two three days ago if you want to be a leader step up and and make a vocal and let everybody know what's going on how we should practice yeah going ahead step up that you got some lead that just lead by example who don't say much too much in the room who won't speak too much but come to pull you close to close together and talk to you one onone then rather than everybody know what's going on speaking of one onone number one uhhuh are you faster because put the work yeah I just been putting the work in yeah just putting the work in that's all a know same old person just a new number you see a difference in DJ from practice one to oh yeah yeah yeah what is this um accuracy with the ball and again on the same page as a receiver he know when he know want to place it now we had so many practices so it should be an easy transition and Saturday should be a great what you call it for everybody to see great show for everybody
