Can you talk about the development of Trey'Dez Green so far?
Trey’Dez was our first pick for a reason. From the moment he got in the building, we knew he had the tools to contribute right away. He’s 6'7", runs like a wide receiver, and creates mismatches all over the field. Yes, we’ve got a veteran in Chase Claypool who’s been steady for us, but Trey brings an entirely different element—he’s another problem defenses have to game plan around. Whether we line him up in-line, split him out wide, or move him around, he’s a weapon.
What’s really encouraging is how fast he’s picking things up. He’s coachable, he works, and you can already see the chemistry building between him and our quarterback. We don’t need him to be perfect—just to be himself and do what he’s always done: go up, get the ball, and make people look small trying to stop him. The potential is through the roof, and the best part is, he knows it’s only the beginning. He’s going to be a matchup nightmare for a long time.
How has Robert Hunt’s experience in the league helped the team so far?
Robert Hunt has been a huge factor for us—both on and off the field. He’s one of those offensive linemen you just love having in the trenches. Physical, smart, tough, and nasty in the best way. But more than that, he’s a leader. When he talks, the room listens, and when he plays, guys feed off his energy.
Having someone with his experience anchoring the line brings stability and confidence to the whole offense. He’s a tone-setter, plain and simple. You want guys like that protecting your quarterback and leading by example. He brings a veteran presence that’s been critical for the development of some of our younger linemen, and we’re lucky to have him.
How do you see the competition level in the NFC South currently?
The NFC South has been a three-team race for a few seasons now, and we don’t expect that to change. It’s competitive, it’s personal, and every game feels like it has playoff implications. Yes, the Bucs have won four straight division titles—congrats to them—but we’re coming for that fifth one like it owes us rent. Their roster is solid, no doubt, but let’s be real: their secret to success seems to be the coach staying out of the way long enough for the players to drag themselves to a win. That man’s idea of balance is throwing 70 times, even if it means racking up 60 interceptions and somehow still pulling it off.
They just won a Super Bowl, which, yeah, shocked everybody—including probably half their locker room. It’s like watching someone spam Hail Mary in Madden and somehow win the whole tournament. So now they’re walking around like they’ve solved football, but all it’s going to take is one off week and a few questionable throws before the whole thing comes crashing down. We’re not handing them a fifth straight title. If they want it, they’re going to have to earn it—and this time, we plan on making that road a whole lot bumpier.
