all Big twelve, second team, invited to the Senior Bowl,

and then he capped it off with a fabulous NFL
14
00:00:46.920 --> 00:00:50.320
combine when he ran that blazing four three nine at
15
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.560
a six three and a half two of two frame.
16

Treat me good man.
19
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:02.920
All your day going, it's going great. We're talking to
20
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.280
a fabulous draft prospect one week away from the draft.
21
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.760
What's it like knowing that you got about, you know,
22
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.920
seven ten days or whatever before you find out where
23
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:13.120
you land in the big show.
24
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.599
Honestly amazing man, when you just sit back there and
25
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.239
just think about it, just like it's crazy how light
26
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:20.040
everything just.
27
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:21.280
Came all at once.
28
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.560
Yeah, And I mean from the time I did you
29
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:25.840
trade down to Bomburdo's.
30
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.200
Yeah, no, I was out there Tampa with Yo Murphy.
31
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.200
Oh you were at Murphy. So what was it like
32
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.159
just getting that process going? And you know you're doing
33
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.760
all your things on the field, but once January rolls around,
34
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.159
now you got to worry about your vertical stance and
35
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.599
how you critique yourself when you get ready for your
36
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.920
forty you know, yard dash. What was that like just
37
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.719
going through that transformation and you're not worried about x's
38
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:48.319
and o's.
39
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.760
Honestly, like to learn like another language, because you know,
40
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.480
you never you never put your hand.
41
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.359
In there, especially me.
42
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.640
I play receivers, no needs for me being at three
43
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.799
point stand, so I'm trying to learn how.
44
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.159
To transfer my enage. You explode these.
45
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.159
Directions from that from that direction, and then like you say, just.
46
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:06.920
Got the broad jump and then the vertical out like
47
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:07.439
I've never.
48
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.159
Actually had to stand and steal and jump as high
49
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.080
as our cans are, as far as far as far
50
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.759
as I can. So, like I said, everyone just crazy, man,
51
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.240
you really just trying to learn everything and then and
52
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.680
then in that short amount of time, especially me because
53
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.080
I played in the playoffs, so really just having to
54
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.240
cram everything, made sure that everything is perfect to go
55
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.680
out there and be evaluated for especially for my future career.
56
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:27.280
It really was just.
57
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.599
Honestly, just honestly amazing to really just like you had
58
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.360
the opportunity go out there and do do something that
59
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:33.960
like a lot of people don't get the opportunity to do.
60
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.520
Oh yeah, and you want to and you and you
61
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.120
crushed it. Now, I like to rewind the show back
62
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.000
towards the Pop Warner Pee Wee days. Caleb, were you
63
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.800
playing way back then? And and was it basically Caleb
64
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.520
Douglas up the middle for a touchdown, Caleb Douglas to
65
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.400
the left for a touchdown. Parents are wanting to check
66
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:51.240
their certificates and all that craziness.
67
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.039
Yeah, yeah, we was doing that.
68
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.240
I was at the quarterback, so I was really distributed
69
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:56.319
and honestly.
70
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.759
Okay, uh huh, so what's up? So I guess you're
71
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.400
doing your thing. We know you're a great athlete from
72
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.319
the get go, but how do you start leaning away
73
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.120
from the QB position and start developing into the receiver
74
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:08.960
that we see now.
75
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.520
I really did, really I say, just keep doing it
76
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.080
just to once you start doing stuff a lot, you honestly.
77
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.479
Start doing being great at it. So really did I say? Learning? Did?
78
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.159
Like I can use the things that I know that
79
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:21.680
quarterbacks make me a better receiver?
80
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.080
Is honestly just another thing too to honestly, I.
81
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.960
Feel like, yeah, and it's and it's fabulous career. Let
82
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.759
me ask you this. Now, you go off to Florida,
83
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.400
you end up at Texas Tech, but you know, as
84
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.840
well as anybody you could get to college and it
85
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:35.919
doesn't work out. When do you kind of know that
86
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.319
what you're doing is going to get this opportunity where
87
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.080
you know you're going to be a draft prospect, a
88
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.680
highly you know, sought after draft prospect. When does that?
89
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.400
Do you have great games against great opponents? Do the
90
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.639
does the coaching staff say, Caleb, you know some teams
91
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.560
came through there asking about it? When do you really
92
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:52.240
get that sense?
93
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:55.479
I feel like once you started.
94
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.639
Doing it at a high level, at assisting level, honestly,
95
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.840
you started honestly feeling like you can go out there
96
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:02.439
and do it at the bigger level. And then, like
97
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.719
you say, you got the scouts coming in asking who
98
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.840
is this? So that's giving you a little motivation as
99
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.319
will so them things paired together, I feel.
100
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:10.080
Like how you thinking like that?
101
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.120
Yeah? And for you, you probably got your first taste
102
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.519
down at the senior ball, your first interaction where you know, teams,
103
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.360
you sit across from the guys with the shield on
104
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.560
their apparel, and you know, they get to now know
105
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.319
Caleb Douglas as a man that's just not the guy
106
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.120
they see on tape. And then obviously you get to
107
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.079
piggyback that into the combine. What was those experiences like,
108
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.199
you know, getting you know, comfortable with these guys and
109
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.120
just kind of being able to talk to talk they
110
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.680
want you to hear. And as you brought that forward
111
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.759
as you went to the combine, Honestly easy.
112
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.639
I feel like I'm a pretty chill guy really just
113
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.040
going out there and just just answering the question. No, no,
114
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.959
really no thought behind it, like where I'm overthinking things
115
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.079
and trying to make things feel like you got to
116
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.680
be better than what it is. So honestly just going
117
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:53.800
out there and being myself.
118
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.120
Yeah, excellent. Once again, Caleb Douglas, the stands Outs Red
119
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.800
Raider receiver here on the C two P Let me
120
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.279
ask you this one. So say, if you're in the
121
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.120
film room with these scouts they're breaking down your tape,
122
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:06.600
what do you think they're gonna love about you when
123
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:07.399
they watch you play?
124
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.199
I really my versatility for real me being like you said,
125
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.519
the tall frame where they didn't go out there, and
126
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.079
being the slide moving small spaces, and then also being.
127
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:18.639
Somebody that go out of there and take the top off.
128
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.319
So I feel like that that really makes me a
129
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:22.759
one on one type of player.
130
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.360
So I feel like whoever gets me, they're gonna enjoy that.
131
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:25.759
For sure.
132
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.519
I love it. And how about this one? I what
133
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.600
goes unnoticed about you? I mean, you could be a
134
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.399
film junkie, wait room warrior. Maybe some of the offensive
135
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.519
schemes didn't allow you to do certain things. Maybe you're
136
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.120
great in the community. What else do these teams need
137
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.240
to know about? Caleb? As we close in on this
138
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:42.160
twenty twenty six.
139
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.959
Draft, I'm a recovery junkie.
140
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.519
I feel like I do everything to maximize that. I'm
141
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.560
always at one hundred and ten percent, especially going into
142
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.480
like these long, long seasons like I did this past year.
143
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.839
So really just making sure that I'm always feeling.
144
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.639
Good in my miss the best, to make sure I
145
00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.560
go out there before and for real excellent.
146
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.759
And he's how about the visits? What was that like
147
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.759
just kind of you know, checking in with teams and
148
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.920
you know, getting that opportunity to you know, you know
149
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.439
much more. Uh, what's the word I'm looking for? Impactful
150
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.160
than just the you know, you're eight minutes down at
151
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.079
the combine when you went on these visits.
152
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.360
Oh, really just like a blessing, just like thankful that
153
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.920
that that you won't it for real because you know,
154
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:22.759
these teams don't have to invite you, and so many
155
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.720
other players that that that that they can't invite, So
156
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:27.920
really just like taking it all in. He's really just
157
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:29.959
honestly like contaking the deep breath.
158
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:31.240
Is like you can you can, you can chill, you
159
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:31.879
can be yourself.
160
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.040
There's no need to do anything extra because they want
161
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:35.720
you here for a reason.
162
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:36.720
That's why they told you to come.
163
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.480
Yeah, I'm sure it has to be exciting and for
164
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.319
you this might be a little bit of cliche question,
165
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.240
but do you get comparisons to anybody at the next
166
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.279
level or is there anybody at the next level that
167
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.639
you know you try to adapt what they do and
168
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.000
put it into your own toolbox.
169
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.519
When I'm watching it, I'm trying to like do stuff
170
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.959
like Jessics Jefferson really just how smooth he is, really
171
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.720
just always telling the vertical and then just being Sadden
172
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.519
it top of his brakes and then kind of just
173
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.639
playing being strong, like watching t Higgins things like that.
174
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.160
So really just trying to pair them two guys together.
175
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.839
Yeah, that's crazy. Isn't it hard to imagine that you
176
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:12.079
could be playing with those guys?
177
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.279
It's hard really, just like we can honestly go out
178
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.439
there and be the duo you never know.
179
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:19.120
You never know.
180
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.519
That would be a great deal. Uh, Caleb Dougas And
181
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.439
like you said, Higgins, or imagine to be Higgins Jamar
182
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.759
Chase and Caleb Dougas, or be Jeffins, Jefferson, Jordan Adison
183
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:34.240
and Caleb Douggas. That's yeah, Well, I'll tell you what.
184
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:38.160
The Vikings and Joe Burrow would be definitely taking the
185
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.319
top off defenses. If if that's the caliber of offenses
186
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.120
they're gonna throw out there for you. When you look
187
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.360
back at your college career, This is your show, your podcast.
188
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.959
Anybody that you want to give out some shout outs

Uh, I say, Carrie Colbert and uh Justin Johnson coach
192
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.439
Juice Johnson for real. Uh, those guys really shaped the
193
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.800
receiver that I am and today. And then obviously do
194
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.000
the navior just giving me the opportunity to go out

If I'm talking trash, do you talk trash back? What's
207
00:08:38.879 --> 00:08:42.559

No your mindset?
212
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.639
Oh my mindset really ain't.

00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.360
There ain't no stopping me, especially if I having a
214
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.879

boy band strutting your stuff? Or Mel Runway styling U.
220

227
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.399
Draft week, Draft weekend, you're gonna be with family and friends.
228
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.159
I assume who's the best cook in your family, Caleb?
229
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.159
And what would you like that person to have prepared?
230
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.159
Is you celebrate this next football journey?
231
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.799
Uh? I say, my wives grandmother, and so I need
232
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.960
her to prepare some ribs and some impanadas.
233
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.840
So ye, all right, Well she's now on the clock
234
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.159
for empanadas and some ribs, and you, Caleb Douglas, are
235
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.360
on the clock for the twenty twenty six NFL Draft.
236
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:49.840
That has a nice ring to it, doesn't it.
237
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:51.559
Oh yeah, I had great ring too.
238
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.360
Yeah, man, hey man, you were fabulous to watch, and
239
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.799
like I told you prior to going live, I really
240
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.840
appreciated watching you play your game the way you do.
241
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.279
If you folks aren't familiar with Caleb one, he's a
242
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.279
big play threat and he makes all those you know,
243
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.039
over the shoulder catches. He grows across the middle. He's fearless,
244
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.080
but when you see his butt get into the past
245
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.559
blocking aspects of football, you really walk away admiring what
246
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.240
else he does. He's a he's a he's a gritty,
247
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.039
fun guy that can take the top off and that's
248
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.080
that's that's that's what I take pride in.
249
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:24.480
Uh.
250
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.039
If I was you that, you know you're you're a
251
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.240
big playmaker, but there's a lot of toughness to you.
252
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.919
Yeah, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I trying to
253
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.120
go out there and show that all the time.
254
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.799

All your day going, it's going great. We're talking to
20
00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:06.280
a fabulous draft prospect one week away from the draft.
21
00:01:06.359 --> 00:01:08.760
What's it like knowing that you got about, you know,
22
00:01:09.200 --> 00:01:11.920
seven ten days or whatever before you find out where
23
00:01:11.959 --> 00:01:13.120
you land in the big show.
24
00:01:14.079 --> 00:01:16.599
Honestly amazing man, when you just sit back there and
25
00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:19.239
just think about it, just like it's crazy how light
26
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:20.040
everything just.
27
00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:21.280
Came all at once.
28
00:01:21.799 --> 00:01:24.560
Yeah, And I mean from the time I did you
29
00:01:24.599 --> 00:01:25.840
trade down to Bomburdo's.
30
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:29.200
Yeah, no, I was out there Tampa with Yo Murphy.
31
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.200
Oh you were at Murphy. So what was it like
32
00:01:31.439 --> 00:01:35.159
just getting that process going? And you know you're doing
33
00:01:35.200 --> 00:01:37.760
all your things on the field, but once January rolls around,
34
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.159
now you got to worry about your vertical stance and
35
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:42.599
how you critique yourself when you get ready for your
36
00:01:42.599 --> 00:01:44.920
forty you know, yard dash. What was that like just
37
00:01:45.120 --> 00:01:47.719
going through that transformation and you're not worried about x's
38
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:48.319
and o's.
39
00:01:48.920 --> 00:01:51.760
Honestly, like to learn like another language, because you know,
40
00:01:52.000 --> 00:01:53.480
you never you never put your hand.
41
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:54.359
In there, especially me.
42
00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.640
I play receivers, no needs for me being at three
43
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.799
point stand, so I'm trying to learn how.
44
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.159
To transfer my enage. You explode these.
45
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:05.159
Directions from that from that direction, and then like you say, just.
46
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:06.920
Got the broad jump and then the vertical out like
47
00:02:06.959 --> 00:02:07.439
I've never.
48
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.159
Actually had to stand and steal and jump as high
49
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.080
as our cans are, as far as far as far
50
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:13.759
as I can. So, like I said, everyone just crazy, man,
51
00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:16.240
you really just trying to learn everything and then and
52
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.680
then in that short amount of time, especially me because
53
00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:21.080
I played in the playoffs, so really just having to
54
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.240
cram everything, made sure that everything is perfect to go
55
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.680
out there and be evaluated for especially for my future career.
56
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:27.280
It really was just.
57
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.599
Honestly, just honestly amazing to really just like you had
58
00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:32.360
the opportunity go out there and do do something that
59
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:33.960
like a lot of people don't get the opportunity to do.
60
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.520
Oh yeah, and you want to and you and you
61
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:39.120
crushed it. Now, I like to rewind the show back
62
00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:42.000
towards the Pop Warner Pee Wee days. Caleb, were you
63
00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.800
playing way back then? And and was it basically Caleb
64
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.520
Douglas up the middle for a touchdown, Caleb Douglas to
65
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:49.400
the left for a touchdown. Parents are wanting to check
66
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:51.240
their certificates and all that craziness.
67
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:53.039
Yeah, yeah, we was doing that.
68
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.240
I was at the quarterback, so I was really distributed
69
00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:56.319
and honestly.
70
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:59.759
Okay, uh huh, so what's up? So I guess you're
71
00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:02.400
doing your thing. We know you're a great athlete from
72
00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.319
the get go, but how do you start leaning away
73
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:08.120
from the QB position and start developing into the receiver
74
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:08.960
that we see now.
75
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:12.520
I really did, really I say, just keep doing it
76
00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:15.080
just to once you start doing stuff a lot, you honestly.
77
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:18.479
Start doing being great at it. So really did I say? Learning? Did?
78
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:20.159
Like I can use the things that I know that
79
00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:21.680
quarterbacks make me a better receiver?
80
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:24.080
Is honestly just another thing too to honestly, I.
81
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.960
Feel like, yeah, and it's and it's fabulous career. Let
82
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.759
me ask you this. Now, you go off to Florida,
83
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.400
you end up at Texas Tech, but you know, as
84
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:33.840
well as anybody you could get to college and it
85
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:35.919
doesn't work out. When do you kind of know that
86
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.319
what you're doing is going to get this opportunity where
87
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.080
you know you're going to be a draft prospect, a
88
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:43.680
highly you know, sought after draft prospect. When does that?
89
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.400
Do you have great games against great opponents? Do the
90
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.639
does the coaching staff say, Caleb, you know some teams
91
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:51.560
came through there asking about it? When do you really
92
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:52.240
get that sense?
93
00:03:54.199 --> 00:03:55.479
I feel like once you started.
94
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.639
Doing it at a high level, at assisting level, honestly,
95
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.840
you started honestly feeling like you can go out there
96
00:04:00.840 --> 00:04:02.439
and do it at the bigger level. And then, like
97
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:04.719
you say, you got the scouts coming in asking who
98
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.840
is this? So that's giving you a little motivation as
99
00:04:06.879 --> 00:04:09.319
will so them things paired together, I feel.
100
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:10.080
Like how you thinking like that?
101
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.120
Yeah? And for you, you probably got your first taste
102
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:16.519
down at the senior ball, your first interaction where you know, teams,
103
00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:18.360
you sit across from the guys with the shield on
104
00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:20.560
their apparel, and you know, they get to now know
105
00:04:20.759 --> 00:04:23.319
Caleb Douglas as a man that's just not the guy
106
00:04:23.319 --> 00:04:25.120
they see on tape. And then obviously you get to
107
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.079
piggyback that into the combine. What was those experiences like,
108
00:04:28.360 --> 00:04:31.199
you know, getting you know, comfortable with these guys and
109
00:04:31.319 --> 00:04:33.120
just kind of being able to talk to talk they
110
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:35.680
want you to hear. And as you brought that forward
111
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:38.759
as you went to the combine, Honestly easy.
112
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.639
I feel like I'm a pretty chill guy really just
113
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:45.040
going out there and just just answering the question. No, no,
114
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.959
really no thought behind it, like where I'm overthinking things
115
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.079
and trying to make things feel like you got to
116
00:04:50.120 --> 00:04:52.680
be better than what it is. So honestly just going
117
00:04:52.720 --> 00:04:53.800
out there and being myself.
118
00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.120
Yeah, excellent. Once again, Caleb Douglas, the stands Outs Red
119
00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.800
Raider receiver here on the C two P Let me
120
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:02.279
ask you this one. So say, if you're in the
121
00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.120
film room with these scouts they're breaking down your tape,
122
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:06.600
what do you think they're gonna love about you when
123
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:07.399
they watch you play?
124
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:11.199
I really my versatility for real me being like you said,
125
00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:13.519
the tall frame where they didn't go out there, and
126
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:17.079
being the slide moving small spaces, and then also being.
127
00:05:16.959 --> 00:05:18.639
Somebody that go out of there and take the top off.
128
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:21.319
So I feel like that that really makes me a
129
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:22.759
one on one type of player.
130
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:25.360
So I feel like whoever gets me, they're gonna enjoy that.
131
00:05:25.399 --> 00:05:25.759
For sure.
132
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:28.519
I love it. And how about this one? I what
133
00:05:28.680 --> 00:05:30.600
goes unnoticed about you? I mean, you could be a
134
00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:33.399
film junkie, wait room warrior. Maybe some of the offensive
135
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.519
schemes didn't allow you to do certain things. Maybe you're
136
00:05:36.560 --> 00:05:39.120
great in the community. What else do these teams need
137
00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:41.240
to know about? Caleb? As we close in on this
138
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:42.160
twenty twenty six.
139
00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.959
Draft, I'm a recovery junkie.
140
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:47.519
I feel like I do everything to maximize that. I'm
141
00:05:47.519 --> 00:05:50.560
always at one hundred and ten percent, especially going into
142
00:05:50.720 --> 00:05:53.480
like these long, long seasons like I did this past year.
143
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:55.839
So really just making sure that I'm always feeling.
144
00:05:55.600 --> 00:05:57.639
Good in my miss the best, to make sure I
145
00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.560
go out there before and for real excellent.
146
00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:01.759
And he's how about the visits? What was that like
147
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.759
just kind of you know, checking in with teams and
148
00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.920
you know, getting that opportunity to you know, you know
149
00:06:09.399 --> 00:06:12.439
much more. Uh, what's the word I'm looking for? Impactful
150
00:06:12.439 --> 00:06:14.160
than just the you know, you're eight minutes down at
151
00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:16.079
the combine when you went on these visits.
152
00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.360
Oh, really just like a blessing, just like thankful that
153
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:20.920
that that you won't it for real because you know,
154
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:22.759
these teams don't have to invite you, and so many
155
00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:25.720
other players that that that that they can't invite, So
156
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:27.920
really just like taking it all in. He's really just
157
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:29.959
honestly like contaking the deep breath.
158
00:06:29.839 --> 00:06:31.240
Is like you can you can, you can chill, you
159
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:31.879
can be yourself.
160
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:35.040
There's no need to do anything extra because they want
161
00:06:35.079 --> 00:06:35.720
you here for a reason.
162
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:36.720
That's why they told you to come.
163
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:39.480
Yeah, I'm sure it has to be exciting and for
164
00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:42.319
you this might be a little bit of cliche question,
165
00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.240
but do you get comparisons to anybody at the next
166
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.279
level or is there anybody at the next level that
167
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:49.639
you know you try to adapt what they do and
168
00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:51.000
put it into your own toolbox.
169
00:06:52.240 --> 00:06:54.519
When I'm watching it, I'm trying to like do stuff
170
00:06:54.560 --> 00:06:56.959
like Jessics Jefferson really just how smooth he is, really
171
00:06:57.040 --> 00:06:59.720
just always telling the vertical and then just being Sadden
172
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.519
it top of his brakes and then kind of just
173
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:05.639
playing being strong, like watching t Higgins things like that.
174
00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:08.160
So really just trying to pair them two guys together.
175
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.839
Yeah, that's crazy. Isn't it hard to imagine that you
176
00:07:10.839 --> 00:07:12.079
could be playing with those guys?
177
00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.279
It's hard really, just like we can honestly go out
178
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.439
there and be the duo you never know.
179
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:19.120
You never know.
180
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:22.519
That would be a great deal. Uh, Caleb Dougas And
181
00:07:22.560 --> 00:07:25.439
like you said, Higgins, or imagine to be Higgins Jamar
182
00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.759
Chase and Caleb Dougas, or be Jeffins, Jefferson, Jordan Adison
183
00:07:28.839 --> 00:07:34.240
and Caleb Douggas. That's yeah, Well, I'll tell you what.
184
00:07:34.519 --> 00:07:38.160
The Vikings and Joe Burrow would be definitely taking the
185
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.319
top off defenses. If if that's the caliber of offenses
186
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.120
they're gonna throw out there for you. When you look
187
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:48.360
back at your college career, This is your show, your podcast.
188
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.959
Anybody that you want to give out some shout outs
189
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:52.959
to or any love that you know, some folks that
190
00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:55.920
were very important to the man we're talking to today.
191
00:07:57.240 --> 00:08:01.160
Uh, I say, Carrie Colbert and uh Justin Johnson coach
192
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.439
Juice Johnson for real. Uh, those guys really shaped the
193
00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:07.800
receiver that I am and today. And then obviously do
194
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:10.000
the navior just giving me the opportunity to go out
195
00:08:10.040 --> 00:08:11.639
there and play at the University of Florida, and did
196
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.160
Joey mcguarre here being my opportunity to go out here
197
00:08:14.160 --> 00:08:16.279
and play takes takes university.
198
00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:18.439
So I say, I say, those guys.
199
00:08:18.160 --> 00:08:21.319
For sure, excellent stuff. Once again, Caleb Dugast here talking

If I'm talking trash, do you talk trash back? What's

No your mindset?
212
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:52.639
Oh my mindset really ain't.
213
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:54.360
There ain't no stopping me, especially if I having a
214
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.879

likely to see who as the lead singer of a
219
00:09:04.039 --> 00:09:08.360
boy band strutting your stuff? Or Mel Runway styling U.
220
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.399
Boy dandy blue band? For sure?
221
00:09:11.519 --> 00:09:12.399
Can you sing and dance?
222
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:14.480
So I can dance?
223

But I don't really know aboy seeing it? But you
224
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:17.519
know we got auto tunes, so I know they give
225
00:09:17.559 --> 00:09:17.840
me right.
226
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:21.519
I love it. And then the final one next week,
227
00:09:21.639 --> 00:09:24.399
Draft week, Draft weekend, you're gonna be with family and friends.
228
00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:27.159
I assume who's the best cook in your family, Caleb?
229
00:09:27.200 --> 00:09:29.159
And what would you like that person to have prepared?
230
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:31.159
Is you celebrate this next football journey?
231
00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.799
Uh? I say, my wives grandmother, and so I need
232
00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.960
her to prepare some ribs and some impanadas.
233
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.840
So ye, all right, Well she's now on the clock
234
00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:45.159
for empanadas and some ribs, and you, Caleb Douglas, are
235
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:48.360
on the clock for the twenty twenty six NFL Draft.
236
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:49.840
That has a nice ring to it, doesn't it.
237
00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:51.559
Oh yeah, I had great ring too.
238
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.360
Yeah, man, hey man, you were fabulous to watch, and
239
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.799
like I told you prior to going live, I really
240
00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.840
appreciated watching you play your game the way you do.
241
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.279
If you folks aren't familiar with Caleb one, he's a
242
00:10:03.279 --> 00:10:06.279
big play threat and he makes all those you know,
243
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.039
over the shoulder catches. He grows across the middle. He's fearless,
244
00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:13.080
but when you see his butt get into the past
245
00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:16.559
blocking aspects of football, you really walk away admiring what
246
00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.240
else he does. He's a he's a he's a gritty,
247
00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:22.039
fun guy that can take the top off and that's
248
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:24.080
that's that's that's what I take pride in.
249
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:24.480
Uh.
250
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.039
If I was you that, you know you're you're a
251
00:10:27.039 --> 00:10:29.240
big playmaker, but there's a lot of toughness to you.
252
00:10:30.039 --> 00:10:31.919
Yeah, I appreciate that. I appreciate that. I trying to
253
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:34.120
go out there and show that all the time.
254
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.799
So I'm happy that he's being picked up.
255
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.360
Yes, Sarah, once again, Caleb Douglas here on the C
256
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:39.799
