It's combine talk and it's big part for over here next to me.
As far as offense alignment. All right, we got the big guy.
Tyler Smith from Tulsa
left tackle, right? Yes, sir. Thanks for coming on hanging
out with me for a little bit of a problem at all. Happy to be
here. Thanks, man. You know, what's
your probably the second guide of all the all lineman. Like
again? I haven't studied you, studied. You got a little bass
feel for you. I get into the weeds with this as we get down
the process, but
Everything you look at is always your another guy. That's
smaller. Killer best run blocker PFF number 1 grated guy
gotta feel good to kind of have all those things next to your
name all the time. Huh?
I mean it definitely does feel good. Like I say, it's
a testament to the work and obviously the people in my
organization who have like spent time with me, like
helping me hone my skills and home my playstyle. So yeah it
does. It does feel good. Yeah. I mean, that's what you're here
for, right? Yeah. So I mean, you know, I
always loved like
anything that gets you to switch your flip. Like, what is
it? Because you're cool. Like it's your laid-back but
watching what I've seen
just a little bit,
you like to kick the s... out of people. I mean, yeah,
I definitely feel like I'm a tone Setter. Like that's a big thing
that we stress in our program is, like, setting the tone at
the line of scrimmage and we line across from a anybody on
the other team, like we see them as
an enemy. And why, you know, what you got to do to enemies, like
you got to kind of let
him down, gotta let them know where they at
territory. That's definitely something. I try to stress.
Definitely. How did you end up at Tulsa? I mean, you know,
here we are. You going to be You know pretty high draft
pick.
None of the big schools gave you a chance or what happened
coming out. Unfortunately, I didn't get as much, you know,
attention as a I probably would have wanted at the time. I came
from a smaller school. I came from North Crowley.
We're not exactly like
when I went there, we weren't exactly the most winningest
team like
so a lot of people pass me up. Unfortunately. Yeah, you know,
I knew I had a great staff around the out of great online
coaching, Brandon Hurston. Shout out to you
and you do a lot of work with me and help me, Greg become
a leader. Long because it wasn't position I play before my
junior year. So
we did a lot of work there.
The chips fall where they fell, I had a lot of success and
Tulsa is the greatest thing to ever happen to me. Filler
Montgomery, giving me the opportunity to coaching staff
and strengths that I got to work with. They're a big part
of why I'm here and
who I became today. So yeah. Yeah, you talked about that.
You know, I mean, I see, you know, your upper body strength
power when I just with the little I've watched all that
I'm in. What's
what's the area that you feel really good about going into
the NFL and going late, I'm good here. And then what's that
area? Where you go? Damn? I got to get a little bit better at
this.
I definitely feel like physically,
I don't have so many questions physics, right for NFL like,
strength Lustre power movement. Like all that stuff is
definitely there.
I can be used. I definitely feel like I want to become more
with technical player. Like, you know, I do have a mob
mentality. I'm able to
produce really well like it at a high level,
but I just know if I become more technically tight
efficient and refine that I'll be producing that and extremely
high level and I'll be able to A lot of my short-term and
long-term goals quicker know that your natural ability pops
and made it really does you see it? But I so yeah, you want to
refine some of those things. Like one thing I look at like
your anchor right? Right. Like as far as just getting your ass
down with somebody tries to power
Rush here. I see you on table little bit. You just you're so
strong up top. You just got out of my anchor. I'm going to stop
you with my damn to arms, right, you know that those are
the things you're talking about. Just
get a little bit better at, right, right? Yeah.
All right, 66, 332, you still read that right now. I'll say
I'm very appreciated a program for giving me that 66 moniker
off of. I'm probably closer to 65 how I measure. 66 amazing.
Yeah.
I'm I'm like Michael but uh, if I do you get your hair up
there. You trying to get an extra, my hair up there. It
might give me a few extra inches. Let me keep it. Like,
I'm over to and what about the wait? Where are you at right now?
I'm consistently. I'm probably like 320 325 right now. Yeah,
like some around there for sure. You got like are you
a guy that's got to watch what you eat or do you have to eat
a little to stay there? I definitely
try to watch what I eat.
Just so I can look a little bit more Cuddy. Right? Look, you do
look a little cutting look good for the ladies bro.
I'm not a guy who like typically struggles or wait.
Like when I was a freshman, I was definitely heavier. I came
in probably like like around 340 350 but like, you know,
just having a strange stuff around me. Changing my diet,
changing my life
like my habits like
Anna came to like eating and stuff like that. Really just
helped me kind of slim out somewhere. I am got. You got
your where was, where was the moment where you like, kind of
knew? You got a chance where you were like?
Okay. Wait, I got to college. That's cool.
But when when in college you go,
I think I can go next level here.
I definitely say I was lucky to have a guy
and Trevor's Gibson. He played for the Bears now,
but like I knew coming in, like he was our NFL guy. He was our
NFL talent and I just being able to practice against him
and kind of hold my own right. Like I kind of realized it.
Then that after our 2020. See and we had a lot of success. We
went to the championship.
Yeah, saving Collins, obviously first-round, draft pick
buckets, Award winner, amongst others, like he went where he
was and I kind of A loss for me. I had a great season two
like that's season. I got a lot of accolades, right? That it
was very possible for me in the future to kind of go to that
same place. Those guys went right
be able to do things. I similar to them. So that's kind of that
was Monumental and building my confidence just being around
and going against those. Yeah sure. You see other NFL guys
and you go I can do this to I'm right here. I'm with you there.
No doubt. All right. So
this is personal to me right here. Okay, because you're from
Texas. Right Woodworth. All right, I went to the University
of Texas. I don't know if you know that. I'm from Jersey. Ozu
to Korea. I'm looking UT.
They didn't recruit you. I, well, I'm sick of seeing people
here from the state of Texas, and none of them went to
the Texas. What the hell is going on? At my old school. I mean,
you really, you really have to ask them. Like, I don't know
why you like, the area, recruiter just wasn't aware of
me. Like I said, I went to a smaller school like high Stars
next to your name. I mean, hindsight is 20/20. They might
have looked at the stars and then I lose the
tape. It's just, it's just how things played out, but I'm
thankful. Tulsa came, like, even TCU didn't come there.
They like right now in the street, like 15-20 minutes.
Yeah, but that Just didn't pan out that way. But I feel like
God put me in the position that I was supposed to be in
and around the people. I was supposed to be around. I'm just
thankful for that to be honest. All right, last thing just guy.
You're most excited to block in the NFL guy. I'm most excited
to block against. I definitely say Travis like I know some
people say like Aaron Donald
it is God, but he posted on Twitter. He said the rematch is
coming. I was like, okay Trail. I see what she's talking about.
What go? If I could go against him like at any point in
time, not be hella cool, just to
just kind of get over on them. You just want to get over on
something. Personal here. If I could bark saving that would be
cool too. Yeah. Bond drives up on the edge, or has that
capability. Also you baby God now. Yes, he move around. So
definitely blocking them
would be cool. I feel like Aaron Donald cool to do like
yeah, be crazy. But yeah, it will be a good
experience. Are you doing everything at the workout
tomorrow? I plan on doing everything? Yeah, now, yes,
okay. And went like what are we thinking just 40 time and and
benchpress when we get you can do bench press. So
as of now. Yes, thank, you know, things always Change.
Definitely, for 40s
and I'm aiming. I'm aiming to go so far. Well, that's
definitely my goal. I'm trying to get there for bench,
like, whatever that happens.
We're going, we going 20-plus, for sure. Okay. All right,
that'll do it. I saw it was a solid parameters. Am I going?
Yeah, not gonna say anything. Like 60. Like 60 reps. Like,
yeah, I got you.
All right. You gotta go. I know you got a guy here.
All right, big guy. Good luck. Tyler Smith
coming to a household near you going to be Mullen people.
All right, don't mess with. This guy right here. Alright.
Peace out. Thanks mod for sure appreciation.
