00:00He was going to play for PJ Fleck in the Big Ten in the
00:03Minnesota Golden Gophers. John, what was that experience like
00:06playing in the Big Ten playing in the Twin Cities and rowing
00:10the boat for coach Fleck? Oh, it's been an honor playing for
00:15him. I always wanted to play in the Big Ten. I always wanted to
00:18play against all the top tackles in the in the
00:21conferences. Just going back to go to SEC go to Big Ten. I
00:26think those are the top conferences. so I wanted to go
00:29to one of those conferences and just play against the top
00:32talent. I had a chance to obviously go against one of the
00:36top tackles in this draft coming up with Ariante and he's
00:40got we got each other better throughout my entire career and
00:44throughout our entire career there in Minnesota. So seeing
00:48the growth from from me and from where I was to where I am
00:51now, it's been it's been a blessing and you look at all
00:57the defensive line coaches. I had over those years and on why
01:00I picked Minnesota was a development not only on the
01:04field, but off the field as well. so I learned a lot from
01:07those coaches learn a lot from schematic wise and approach and
01:12approach to the game from those coaches. so a lot of people
01:16don't like a lot of coaches in their career, but I have four
01:21there as well as being in Minnesota. so there's a lot of
01:25a lot of learning a lot of notes that was taken and just
01:30blessed frame is right there. John right 64262 pass rusher
