2:33
fun at the same time but
2:35

2:38
just happy to be out here i'm big fans
2:40
of youtube like i said earlier so yeah
2:42
i'm excited man that's what's up man
2:43
when you come to l.a you hanging in
2:44
blood or neighborhoods
2:48
i
2:55
hey man that's interesting 25 is an
2:56
amazing age to be you know michael
2:59
jackson was 25 when he made thriller
3:01
i didn't know that did you just make
3:03
that up nah bubba i feel like this man
3:06
i played this
3:07
my dad my dad's a big michael jackson
3:09
fan so i feel like there's some truth to
3:10
that but yeah like when you turned 25 it
3:13
just made me realize that i i
3:14
accomplished a lot in my my career so
3:16
far but i'm just starting and i'm still
3:18
young i still got so much time so
3:20
there's so much growth so much room for
3:21
improvement so i'm just taking one day
3:23
at a time and just trying to figure it
3:25
out get up on that mic man i know you
3:26
got bars man wow do that no not me but
3:29
really get up on the mic so we can hear
3:32
i have a question you said you out you
3:34
come out to la to train like how soon do
3:37
you get started because really the
3:38
season the official season i should say
3:40
is just about over you know we're here
3:42
to celebrate obviously the super bowl
3:43
but how early are you back training now
3:46
for next season
3:47
i already started already it's all about
3:49
for me just getting my body back
3:51
balanced bound through some injuries up
3:54
and downs so you got to be smart when
3:55
you're training you can't get right into
3:57
it right right away ain't lifting heavy
3:59
um it's more like small just a little
4:01
details focus on getting your body
4:02
alignment right
4:04
getting your body moving right um
4:06
working on the lower muscles uh more
4:08
like injury prevention stuff and then as
4:10
weeks go by at least go by you pick it
4:11
up and you turn up and you get bit so
4:12
say quan the reason why i'm asking you
4:14
this because sway's birthday's in july
4:16
right and he's promising everybody
4:18
entire citizenship swage universe he's
4:20
gonna take his shirt off because he
4:22
started this ab game really right now
4:24
he's flat really
4:26
how can you help him say quan to get to
4:28
that ab gang
4:30
official like the president well not the
4:32
president but maybe like the
4:33
i would say i would say one you got to
4:35
take out probably take 15 10 or 15
4:38
minutes of the ad workouts a lot of
4:39
people think it's crazy like you got to
4:40
do all these crazy stuff especially
4:42
nowadays social media you see everyone
4:44
doing all this crazy stuff but it's
4:45
really about what you eat what you put
4:46
in your body um and just find a little
4:48
bit of time to do some abs like
4:50
obviously i'm talking about within your
4:51
workout obviously your workout might
4:52
take an hour or two but within your card
4:54
you'll find 10-15 minutes do something
4:56
that you like uh that that because
4:58
everyone's every individual is different
4:59
so yeah i found what works for you and
5:00
we'll get you going and also eat right
5:02
for the right things in your body um
5:05
that's tracy in brooklyn
5:09
i wanted to know
5:10
okay can you talk about mental fitness
5:13
though is that something that you still
5:15
have to practice to get you in tip-top
5:17
shape once you on the field you know
5:18
like are there different practices that
5:20
you do um just so your mind is in the
5:23
game along with your body
5:25
yeah uh for me i that kind of started
5:27
around the last two years
5:29
i had a major knee injury the year
5:31
before that set me out and then got
5:33
injured a little bit again this year so
5:34
i've been battling with a little ups and
5:36
downs so
5:37
the mental part's the biggest thing you
5:38
gotta get your body back aligned with
5:39
your brain especially when you have
5:41
injuries you know you've been doing this
5:42
since i was a little kid and i know
5:44
you've been you did it back in the day
5:46
he was four
5:49
it's big it's big mental health is
5:51
really big and you gotta
5:53
and you can't do it by yourself you know
5:54
i have a lot of have a lot of great
5:56
people around me i got a lot of great
5:57
family members i'm blessed i got both
5:58
parents still together married and in my
6:00
life so i have a lot of people i can
6:02
lean on um a lot of teammates and uh i
6:04
it is a big part and big part of my game
