player in the motor City. It's been literally everything I've imagined. I mean, just from the fans. Even during training camp, like me coming out there, the fans chanting my name like they did on draft night, it just shows, man. We really do have the best fans in the NFL and I mean just the city. Like the whole grit mentality. Like you could tell like even when I'm around walking, I went to get some furniture recently from my, from my home. They were like great, great, great man. That's crazy. So it's just ecstatic. Especially with the countdown finally over. Now So. So what I didn't know was subzero. Your nickname is a Detroit thing. Yeah, I thought that came with, you know. How'd that come about, really? Just my teammates, like D Barnes. He was. I think he was the first one to really say it in the interview, but when I was around, it was like, man, so you, Agent Zero, are you like subzero? And I was like, it don't it don't really matter. Then when I was on the field, they just started saying like subzero. I was like, you know what? Like when I go on the field, I put my helmet on, I mask up, I am subzero, I love it, that's nice. All right. You've already matched up against some NFL players. You had the joint practices with the Giants. A little bit of preseason action. What have you learned about the NFL and what it takes to compete at this level, it just takes focus every play. Like these receivers, they're top notch and these offensive coordinators, they're the real deal. So just as far as the scheme and then they find out your weaknesses and they try to isolate you. So I mean it really takes a lot of confidence like going into the game. I feel like the game is 90% mental. 10% physical. Because if you go into a game already thinking about your opponent, already thinking like, man, if he get me on this, then I'm done. You've already lost. So I just try to go in there with the same mentality every time, which is dominant. So when you drive down the road and you see subzero on the field making a play in the NFL, what do you see? Steve Peak six man. What you mean you see a peak six? Man that's the dream right there. That's that's when you're cruising down 696 or whatever it is. That's what you see is you cruising into the end zone. Yes sir I love it. That's great. All right. These Rams obviously really talented offense. What do you see from them on tape. What kind of challenge do they present Matthew Stafford he's 36 years old. So really experienced. And you know he's familiar with playing in this atmosphere. So I mean he is very very talented can make every throw on the field. And if you just sit back and zone he's going to pick you apart. So with us I mean the reason why they brought in guys like myself and then the other guys in the secondary, they brought us in to challenge. And I feel like AG with his, type of mindset, the way he thinks, I mean, he's going to put us in the best position to be successful. You've got guys like Puka, who's very physical after the catch point. Cooper Kupp obviously being experienced. So I mean they're very disciplined and a very sound team. It's a big game Sunday night. Prime time. You played in a lot of big games in Alabama. Do you think that helps you to be ready for this situation. Yeah most definitely. Like I feel like when the lights are on I'm at my best. So I'm not shy of it. Lights will be on Sunday night. You sat down I said, are you excited? And you said, three days. Three days. What have you thought about running onto the field in an NFL uniform at Ford Field? I just thought about, obviously when I run out of that tunnel, man, you know, me beating on my chest and then just looking up and saying, wow, it's finally here. And then, you know, I
