Head Coach Brian Daboll

Q: Injuries today? How are (wide receiver Jalin) Hyatt, (wide receiver) Wan'Dale (Robinson) and (outside linebacker Brian) Burns?

Daboll: Burns is practicing. Hyatt will do some more than he did yesterday, probably still just individual. We'll see where he is at after that, but making improvement and we'll hold Wan' Dale today. Nothing serious. Just got a knee to the leg, so we'll take care of him. There you go.

Q: Some teams do live tackling when they put the pads on. Are you planning to do that?

Daboll: We will have thud tackling, so it won't be bringing to the ground. Thud up, getting a good football position when you're kind of head on with the player, not coming from the side or from behind, but it'll be good for the offensive (and) defensive lineman who now can bull rush and run games and do some things with double teams. You don't really run the ball too much, I would say, in OTAs or even these first few days just because you don't want to put anybody in a bad situation. Now the double teams and the scoop blocks and the down blocks and the power rushes, that's when you start to be able to evaluate the offensive line a little bit more. Stay away from the quarterback as normal, not leaving our feet to go to the ground, but those are some of the techniques that we'll evaluate once the pads come on.

Q: Why do you not believe in take-to-the-ground tackling even though some teams do?

Daboll: Well, maybe we'll do it. I mean, today's the first day of pads, so I didn't say I didn't believe in it. I just said this is how we're going to do it today.

Q: What's the energy from the team on the first day in pads? Is there a discernible difference?

Daboll: They've been grinding away. They're taking care of their bodies. Go out there and have a good practice. It's a little bit more physical, it should be with the pads on, but practice the right way and most importantly is get good work in and get something out of it.

Q: Are we going to see O-line-D-line one-on-ones or it's still a ramp up until that?

Daboll: You'll see a fair amount of that. You'll see team periods. I'm not saying it's exactly today, but we'll have a whole structure of how we want to get things accomplished.

Q: What's your message to the guys about not crossing the line after what we saw in the spring?

Daboll: You've played competitive sports. You want to try to eliminate those things. It's hot. People are competing for jobs. Again, we have one team, so you want to make sure you can come out of here as healthy as you can in training camp. Sometimes those things flare up. We'll do our best to not let that happen. It's not something we want to do, but also been doing this a long time as you have, it's the nature of the business a little bit. We talked about it this morning. We'll do our best to avoid as many of those as we can and get good work in, but you still play physical.

Q: It seems like you pull guys off if it starts to get a little heated. Is that accurate?

Daboll: Yeah, that's accurate. Yep. Hopefully we won't see that today.

Q: With the pads on, will you put more emphasis on the running game periods?

Daboll: Again, when you're in OTAs and the first few days of practice, there's a way you try to practice. It's a physical sport, but you're doing things to try to eliminate some of those things when you don't have pads on. A bunch of double teams with no pads on – that's hard to – on the defensive lineman or a pick stunt on an offensive lineman when he's got no pads on with the technique that they have to use. You have to practice both, but we'll get a fair amount of run game in. We'll have situational work today. Some one-on-ones, we'll do some other drills with the skill players, not one-on-ones, but different stacks and bunch combinations that the defense has to cover and the offense has to sort through. So just looking to get some good work in the next two days.

Q: How much of an adjustment or challenge is it to get reps from four quarterbacks?

Daboll: You just plan for it and you plan what you think each guy needs. Try not to let them know when they're going in, so you have to go ahead and execute. A lot of times you'll have a rack of plays. You'll kind of study those at night, want to keep some of them on their toes and see how they respond when maybe it's not a play that they're anticipating, but they got to go ahead and execute it and not think about it. You got 30 seconds to get in there and snap it and coach off of it. I think that's how you learn the best.

Q: Do you plan to carry all four all throughout camp?

Daboll: I'm looking forward to working with all four of these quarterbacks

Q: With (running back) Cam Skattebo, we've seen his hands so far looking pretty good in the camp. When you guys were evaluating him, how impressed were you guys with him being able to be as good a pass catcher as much as he was being so tough between the lines?

Daboll: Yeah, that was definitely part of the evaluation. He was a physical player, first and foremost. When you watch the tape, a hard guy to bring down when he has the ball in his hands. There's all different shapes, sizes of running backs, different speed, different quickness, tall, short. Can they make yards when they get the ball in their hand? However that sorts itself out. Handing it to them, tossing it to them, throwing them a screen, and then how are his hands? Can you use him in the passing game? He's got good hands, he's got soft hands. I talked about it with (outside linebacker) Abdul (Carter) yesterday – this is another guy that you could evaluate on tape and see these instincts show up. He's not just a line guy. He has good football instincts. I'm looking forward to seeing him in pads today. He's a low level, gets his pads down, runs hard. Looking forward to watching him run today.

Q: Speaking of the running back room, you have three guys that you can run out there with real good receiving skills. Can you talk about how does that pressure defensive coordinators because they constantly got to be prepared for three guys that you can roll in there that can receive out of the backfield?

Daboll: There's always strengths to a coverage and then there's weaknesses to a coverage. The more guys that you can utilize in the pass game to affect different areas based on what the defense is doing, the more helpful it is for a quarterback. Our guys can run routes, they can catch, they can run. You don't have a problem playing any of those guys on first, second or third down or fourth down for a lot of them, so there's some flexibility there with those guys. It's all dependent on matchup and what you're seeing defensively and who's covering them. They're out there against the corner, you're not too excited about that matchup when the corner's covering them, but if you get them on the right matchup and you get them into space the way you need to get into, it's usually a good asset for you.

Q: When you talk about Skattebo's instincts, is his vision something that popped out to you?

Daboll: There's not many times at least that I've seen him here just in a short time or even on tape, like, "Why is he going where he's going?' He's got good feel for the blocking assignments up front, but then he's got good vision for the second level and at times the third level of when to press the ball, when to cut it back, when to keep it front side. He's got a long way to go. (He's a) rookie, but another young player that has been encouraging in the meetings and then out on the practice fields, both in walkthrough and practice.

Q: How big of a loss is (wide receiver) Bryce Ford-Wheaton?

Daboll: Man, my heart aches for that man. He's done everything he could do to get back. He's a very good special teams player for us and was having a good camp from working back from his injury. He's just laying there on the ground and you just can't help but... That's the tough part of this business – probably one of the worst (parts) is seeing these guys go down that have put so much time and effort and energy into getting back and we'll certainly miss him. It's just an unfortunate thing for Bryce, I feel terrible for him, I feel bad for our team because he was a good player for us in the kicking game and now other people are going to have to step up but, man, that was a tough one.

Q: What did you like about (quarterback) Jaxson Dart's practice yesterday?

Daboll: Look, Jax, since he's been here, he's been steadily improving, learning how we want to run the football team from the quarterback position. He made a lot of good decisions, made a lot of things that we could go ahead and correct. He had a pretty efficient drive, was good quarterback play, had a couple checks in there on his own, made some plays against different looks, some max pressures, some guys dropping off. He played on time, his feet were good, played fast, knew where to go with the football, did a good job of leading the guys in the huddle. (It was a) productive day for him. Still some things within that day that we go back and take a look at, but just keep on making progress.

Outside Linebacker Brian Burns

Q. We all saw and heard that collision the other day. What did it feel like to be involved in it? You don't see them like that too often.

A: It hurt (laughs). No, man. I was just trying to set the standard, trying to run to the ball, whip myself in the shape for the season. I was rolling too. Yeah, I don't think y'all seen the whole clip. I'm just glad that it wasn't (anything) too serious (for) me or (wide receiver) Wan'Dale (Robinson). We're both good.

Q. Is that because you don't see that coming? Does that kind of make it more scary or awkward and do you have to reassess your body to make sure everything's in the right place?

A: It was a bit of a shock, bit of a scare. When you hit somebody that fast and you don't see it coming, like you said, it's like you just want to make sure everything's working. That's why you lay on the ground for a minute, take a breath, try to see what's really hurting. Other than that, once we got up and walked in, I was in a lot of pain, but after we got the scans and everything, it was all good. Everything was all good.

Q. What do you envision when you think about this defense this season?

A: Man, everybody feels encouraged and excited and hyped up at the beginning of the season. You understand? At the same time, we look great on paper but we (didn't) do (anything) yet. It's all on us. We can take this as far as we want to go. Everything looks good with the names that we have and the potential and this and that, but until we put that (stuff) to stamp, (there isn't) really nothing to talk about.

Q. Everyone talks about playing great team defense. How do you go about building those blocks of building great team defense?

A: Trust. Being able to trust the man next to me and really being able to know and depend on, 'he going to do his job and I know he's going to do it.' This is going to be my second year working with (defensive linemen) Dex (Lawrence) second year working with (outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux) KT, first year with (outside linebacker) Abdul (Carter), first year with (defensive tackle) Roy (Robertson-Harris), but at the same time, we have to practice these reps and practice that camaraderie between us, so I know what he's going to do when it's time to get the money. Do you understand that? That's going to take time and that's what we're going through right now.

Q. How much communications do you guys have between the second level and third levels in that regard?

A: I'm having a lot more communication with them just because I want the whole picture of the defense. I'm trying to take my game to another level and that is understanding other positions and understanding why we are doing certain things. Me and (safety Jevón) Holland talk a bit, me and (inside linebacker) Bobby (Okereke) talk a bit, and then sometimes I'm in certain fits with them that they got to be able to depend on me and know I know I'm going to do my job. We do have those conversations and it is really just helping me understand the defense better.

Q. You keep saying you haven't done anything yet, do you keep reiterating that to the room and how much is that your message to everybody else?

A: I feel like it's understood. I feel like it's understood, but at the same time I will say it if it is needed. Right now, I don't feel like it's needed. I feel like everybody's working hard. Nobody's entitled to whatever hype that we do have. I think everybody has a common understanding that we need to get out here and show.

Q. Is there a rookie initiation, so to speak, when the pads come on for the first time?

A: Initiation?

Q. You want to see what they can do the first time in pads, guys you don't know. Specifically, there was a lot of running today. You have a rookie running back in Cam (Skattebo). What did he show you today?

A: He showed he got a little dog. I don't know about initiation, but he showed he got dog. He runs tough, he runs behind his pads. I got to get back and watch the film. I didn't really get a head-to-head with him yet, but from what I hear, alright, we'll see (laughs).

Q. Is it tough when you can't tackle to the ground?

A: Yeah. You know what I'm saying? That's why it's like, 'All right, I hear you,' but at the same time we not going. So, when they get thudded up and they keep dropping their legs and 'dah duh dah' – we can't keep – everybody can't hit you. We have to let you keep running. So, 'You got it, it's okay. You got it. Show me in preseason.' But I like his dog. I like that he got that edge to him and I feel like he's (going to) be about what he says, so I like that about him.

Q. You talked about wanting to set a tone on the play before the collision. What was that message you wanted to send on that play?

A: If I'm going to run the ball, you better run to the ball. If I'm going to do it. So, I can't sit here and preach, 'run to the ball,' and get on people cases if I'm not doing it. There's going to be times where I'm not going to do it and I need them to get on me, but you can't get on me if you aren't doing it. It's holding each other accountable and I got to be – me, Bobby, Jevón, all the leaders of the defense – Dex, all the leaders of the defense got to set the standard and be held to it. So, I can't say nothing unless I'm doing it.

Q. Even if that kind of collision is part of it?

A: Hell no, I'm not doing that again (laughs). Hell no. Trust me. I'll be sure to throttle down before I get anywhere close to that again. That was scary. I'm not going to lie. I'm not doing that again.

Q. Do you have any sort of first impressions of what you've seen from Abdul? What impresses you about him on the field?

A: I mean this is a watered down statement, but jit (is) a dog. He does what he got to do, he's about his business. All it comes down to is really just making sure that he's clean with the calls and the adjustments because it is moving a little bit faster. It is a little more detailed than college, but as far as raw athleticism, traits, he got it. I really don't got to talk too much on him. Y'all have seen it.

Q. What about that spin move he has?

A: It was good. It was a battle between – It wasn't just that move that like – I get it, check me out, I get it. The move was nice, great move, but what I'm more impressed with is the battle between him and (offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor) Lu. It wasn't just all out one move. He set that up. I like the fact that he was patient enough to set up that move and be able to execute it. It was a battle between them two. It wasn't just one move, it was a battle, but I like that he was patient enough to set it up.

Q. If he has this kind of talent, is it just a matter of time for him to produce?

A: Yeah, I think so. He's going to be put in positions to succeed, and that's just due to the guys we have on the line, me, Dex, KT, he's going to have one-on-ones, he's going to have opportunities to show what he can do and he showed y'all. Like I said, I don't really want to do too much talking about Abdul because he'll show you. I ain't got to talk about him.

Q. What have you seen from KT coming back this year?

A: KT flipped the switch last year. I don't know if y'all peeped it, but he flipped the switch last year, playing a lot harder, playing a lot more physical. He's getting his edge. He had his edge today. KT has impressed me about how he handles himself in the building. He gets in early, he does his thing. All in all, he flipped that switch last year, so I expect big things from KT this year.

Q. When did that switch happen?

A: I can't really put a finger on when it happened. I know he made a decision to make that switch. I know (outside linebackers) Coach Bullen had - I call him Charlie, only I can call him that. Charlie had a big influence on that switch with KT and I'm proud of what he's been doing so far.

Offensive Lineman Jermaine Eluemunor

Q: Hot enough for you out there?

A: Yeah, it was good. Got to sweat out some Lbs. I'm skinny now, so to lose a little bit more weight was a good thing.

Q: You guys always get excited for the first day in pads. How do you think it went?

A: It was fun. We were able to run the ball today, so that was cool. I'm sure y'all saw the end, being able to run the ball and actually practice some real situations at the end of the game. You have a minute and 30 left, you got to run the clock out, one first down wins the game, both the first and second teams were able to do that. It was a good day for the offense.

Q: How does the communication expedite with the front five in pads as opposed to when you guys are not in pads?

A: I think that when your in pads, there's a different energy in the air. You want to just get out there and smack someone, but you got to be able to listen to communication, know where you're going because when you're not in pads, obviously it's not the same intensity. When you put pads on, especially for the first time, you got to be able to cancel out the noise and know what your goal is and what your job is and accomplish that goal. I think that the O-line did a pretty good job of that today. Obviously, it's the first day in pads, so I'm not going to pat ourself on the back just yet. We still got a lot more work to do.

Q: How much do you guys communicate with the running backs to make sure you guys are all seeing it the same way?

A: We watch a bunch of film with them, so that's a good thing too. We understand what hole they're trying to hit, what their read is and just how they see things and if we make a block a certain type of way, how they're going to cut back or how they're going to adjust to that block. I'd say it's important for us to have a good line of communication with them just so we're on the same page on Sundays.

Q: Have you seen anything different from facing (linebacker) Abdul (Carter) in pads versus just rushing him?

A: No, (he's) just still a really good player. Still a really good player. I love going against Abdul because that first step he has is explosive as hell so again, to go against him every day is a blessing for me. I said the same thing when I was in Vegas going against (Las Vegas Raiders defensive end) Maxx (Crosby) Sometimes he's going to get you, but if you were able to bounce back and not let the same thing happen twice, then you're getting better, which I am.

Q: You're bringing up Maxx Crosby. Is it impressive for a rookie to kind of get those kind of thoughts in your head?

A: He has traits that you can't teach. Certain things that – everyone has talent because you're in the NFL, everyone has hard work and determination, but there's a little thing that God just blessed you with that he has that I can count on one hand that guys in the NFL have. That's not to put any unrealistic expectations on his shoulders, but I only think the sky is the limit for that kid, I think – even higher than the sky. (He) works hard, good guy, great off the field, great teammate, and I just love going against him. Trust me, the clip yesterday, he got me. I got to admit he got me, but that's great for me because I'd rather get (got) right now instead of on Sundays. If I can cancel out little things like that, going against a guy like that and a guy like (outside linebacker Brian) Burns, on Sundays, I'm going to lock everything up.

Q: Would you agree that today the offensive line had a strong day?

A: Yeah, I think that the first day of pads is always going to shift towards the offensive line because we're going to run the ball more and obviously once the D-line gets adjusted being in pads, it's going to be more of a war out there. Practice is typically a back and forth between O-line and D-line. D-line makes a play, O-line makes a play. You have (defensive lineman) Dex (Lawrence) Burns, Abdul, (defensive tackle) Roy (Robertson-Harris), (defensive lineman Rakeem) Nacho (Nuñez-Roches), those animals out, they're bound to make a play every now and then or really affect the offensive line. I think today the offensive line probably won, but who's to say D-line won't win tomorrow? It's our goal to practice every single day, but it's also D-lines go to one practice every single day. That's what's going to make us better at the end of the day.

Q: Does it feel good to finish it the way you guys did there?

A: It's always good to finish the day like that. It's a competitive period. Whoever wins that drill basically wins the day and so the offense got to win today. I'm sure the defense is going to come fired up tomorrow and try to win the day too.

Q: How have you and (offensive lineman) Evan (Neal) been working together when he's in there?

A: Good. He's a big man. It's funny, getting out the huddle and just going like this, 'Oh yeah,' just looking up (laughs). It's interesting, having a guard bigger than the tackle, but Ev's a humongous human being and those double teams are going to be terrible for defensive tackles. I say that because he's a powerful man, so I'm excited. Him and (guard Greg Van Roten) GV are two great guards. Evan's really committed to being a great guard and you can see it in his determination and just his work ethic. He's really bought in, which is really cool for me to see, especially being the one that plays next to the both of them so I'm excited for his progression.

Q: You can relate to a guy who's making a position change as you've had to do that a bunch in your career. Have you given him any advice?

A: Yeah, I'm talking to him all the time. It was like the first day I came here, I texted him. I was like, 'no one wants you to succeed more than I do.' It's still the same thing. Now he's playing guard, taking upon myself, if he's next to me, to truly make sure he's good. He knows what he's doing. If he knows what he's doing, shoot – I mean look how big he is. His hands are like 10 times the size of mine and he gets his hands on you and in the run game, if he just hits you, you're going to go back. There's a couple of plays today where I was like, 'Damn, that's crazy.' So, it was cool. To just see his hard work paying off was really cool too but for him it's just once you have some success, how are you going to build off that to keep being successful? Not getting complacent, just stay hungry.

Q: Last year in the offseason, you were at left guard all spring and you were probably preparing to play that. How different is it to have a full offseason to prepare to play your position?

A: It's actually the first off season of my career where I get to play one position. Last year, I was at left guard and I had to play right tackle. The year before that I was at left tackle, right guard, right tackle, left guard, right guard. I've had to move around every single offseason, so t's been nice to just play one position to truly hone in on my technique, just watch the film, go against Burns and Abdul and (outside linebacker Kayvon) Thibs and just try different things so when I get out there with the pads on, I know what I'm doing. There's things I've been working on all spring, they show up on tape, which has been really cool for me.

Q: Does (tackle James) Hudson's attitude and energy get contagious for a line?

A: Yeah, he's an intense dude. Sometimes you got to pull him back in because he'll just dive off the edge of the boat. You say, 'no, don't do that.' But I mean offensive line is a hard position and you got to have some edge about you, especially playing tackle – I would know – especially a left tackle, which I would know. Obviously, he's just out there trying to get better and he's taking it upon himself to truly set the tone which we love. Offensive line, you got to set the tone. For us to be the offensive line we want to be this year, you got to have guys like that on the team so we're happy to have him.

Q: I know it's probably natural but it seems like there's little more tension this year. The tackles and the edge guys going at. You and Kayvon, maybe that's good nature on Twitter but it does seem like there's a little bit more.

A: I hate Kayvon (laughs). No, I'm playing. I mean look, they know my intentions. Burns, knows what I'm trying to accomplish this year. Same with Thibs, same with Abdul. That's why I want all the reps I can get against them because I have high aspirations this year. High expectations and a really big goal to achieve, which I'm going to achieve and it'll be good for this team too. Like I said, I haven't been shy about it. I want to be great, so I don't shy away from no competition and neither do they because they want to be great too. I think at the end of the day, that's going to help this team be really successful.

Cornerback Paulson Adebo

Q: First day in pads, how'd it feel?

Adebo: Felt great. First time being in pads, so it's always a good thing. It's what we want to play anyways. Obviously, you don't play football in shorts and shirts, so you get to actually have the pads on and hit each other.

Q: When you look at this front seven, obviously there's a lot of talk, a lot of tension, but just what excites you about the potential of this front seven and how can it help you and the secondary out?

Adebo: Yeah, I think just knowing that you've got a dominant front up there that can get after the quarterback, that can stop the run and put pressure on quarterbacks, it makes them able to try to get the ball out quicker and helps us on the back end as far as timing, rushing coverage, working together.

Q: After defending (wide receiver) Malik (Nabers) for a few days here, what makes him special and unique as a receiver from what I'm seeing?

Adebo: He's just so explosive. I think his ability to get in and out of his releases, in and out of his breaks, the suddenness which he moves with that all the elite receivers have, I think that's something that makes him incredibly tough to cover.

Q: Everyone talks about the communication the offensive linemen have and how that's important. How important is that for you guys on the backend and where would you rank that in terms of like, this is important to secondar?

Adebo: I think communication is everything. If one guy is on the wrong page, then you're giving up a touchdown, regardless of if everybody else was doing the right thing. So definitely making sure that everybody's on the same page, communicating loud, early and often, is very important.

Q: Does the competition on the other side affect you in any way? I mean, it affects you because it's either (cornerback) Deonte (Banks) or it's (cornerback) Cor'Dale (Flott). So how do you see that shaping up?

Adebo: I think the competition is between everybody, myself included, right? There's no starting jobs yet. There are no depth charts that have been posted. I think up and down the roster, everybody's competing. Regardless of what the competition groups are, we all know that at any given time, you've got to be out there putting your best foot forward. Regardless of who you are, we're out there, we're competing, and we're really getting after it.

Q: Practice notwithstanding, before you step on the field with your new teammates, do you study their film to kind of get a sense of what they do well and what they don't do well? How can you complement them and so on?

Adebo: Yeah, for sure. I think anytime you're watching film, whether I'm watching the defense or watching the offense, I know I'm going to go up against Malik, I'm going to go up against (wide receiver Darius) Slayton, I'm going up against (quarterback) Russ (Russell Wilson). Are there any tells, right? So, you kind of go against them kind of the same way you would during the season, maybe not exactly the same because you're working on yourself as well but definitely trying to get some tells and get some insight on the people you're going to be competing with and against.

Q: Do you use that then to go and help them out and say, 'Hey, man, I noticed this, this and tell, can you kind of change this a little bit?'

Adebo: Yeah, for sure. I mean, I'm always going to them, 'Hey, what'd you see here,' and then vice versa. At the end of the day, we're on the same team, right? We're not holding any secrets here. If I see something, they see something, 'Hey, I think you can work on this,' then we're all trying to work towards the same goal.

Q: Just on the competition aspect, what are you seeing from Tae and Cor'Dale?

Adebo: Tae and Cor'Dale, man, they're competing their butt off. Really, I think their approach to the game, pre-practice, post-practice, getting work in. Like I said, I think everybody's really just doing a great job in that perspective.

Q: You've obviously been on the field from really the moment that OTAs started, so the leg issue from back then, I know you probably put it to bed at some point. At what point this offseason were you able to put that beside you and say, 'Now I'm going to focus on me and focus on my game' to get back to where maybe you thought you were going when you got injured?

Adebo: I mean, it's a whole entire process. Obviously, you go through that process, and you hit kind of checkpoints and checkmarks of things that you're able to do. But once I got the okay, I mean, we're talking like early March, doing all types of drills and stuff. So, I'm not worried about that anymore.

Q: So, in your game now, I mean, you were at a point last year in the season where it had gone a different direction, they'd be talking about you in the league and where you're at and Pro Bowls and all the personal accolades. I'm curious, for your game, what do you think you need to do to get to the next step for yourself? Is that a motivating factor right now in addition to being that player for this team?

Adebo: I think every time you come into training camp, you kind of look at what you did well from the past season, look at what you didn't do well, and then you understand it's a clean slate. Regardless of what happened last year, you've got to show it again. That's the thing about being consistent in this league. That's what gets you the notoriety or whatever. So, I think you just wipe the clean slate, you look at what you did well, look at what you can improve on, and then you also understand that, 'Hey, it's a new team, it's a new system,' and you've got to come bring it every single day.

Q: Is there kind of a sense of, 'Man, what if I could have done last year? What if I could have stayed healthy?' Or does that kind of fuel what you're trying to do this year?

Adebo: No, I'm just always focused on the present, everything that happens had to happen. So, you could always say, 'Oh, you could have,' you can play that game all you want. But for me, it's about being present, being where your feet are, and obviously that situation led me here. I'm incredibly grateful, honestly, that that happened because I'm in the position I'm in right now with a great team, great group of guys, and a great opportunity.

Q: I guess, like you said, does it kind of fuel the present a little bit? You know, you don't think about it, does it kind of feel like, 'Okay, I'm here now, let's prove what I can prove?'

Adebo: Yeah, like I said, I just like to stay in the present, you know? So, everything that happens had to happen, happy to be here.
