00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:15.800
NFL Draft ronspets. Joined host Baumshantius, he brings the next

00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:21.120
generation of tomorrow's NFL stars to you today, no more
5
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:29.679
than the name.
6
00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:28.120
Back to another edition of the C two p I'm
7
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.600
your show host Bo Marshanti. As always, we appreciate you
8
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.560
stopping by as we bring the next collection of tomorrow's
9
00:00:33.640 --> 00:00:36.799
NFL stars to today. We have a fantastic young man
10
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:40.560
on the program today. It's Lane Hanson, the standout Illinois's
11
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.880
long snapper. And I always love getting these specialists on
12
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.560
the show because we don't get that many each draft season,
13
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.920
will always get about two or three. But nonetheless they're
14
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.240
always fun to talk to because it just kind of
15
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.439
takes us in a different direction from the positions that
16
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.719
we're so accustomed to talking about. But with that said, Lane,
17
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.000
you've had a great career. You're knocking at the doorstep
18
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.320
the National Football League. But with that said, how is
19
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:03.359
its afternoon treating you?
20
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:03.799
My friend?
21
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:05.280
It's going good man.
22
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:07.680
Just finished up a workout and just kind of relaxing
23
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.040
now and I'm ready to get to this next step.
24
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.560
What ready to wait and see what goes on for me?
25
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.040
This is coming this end of April here.
26
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:16.560
Yeah, I mean a couple of weeks away.
27
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.359
I'm sure it's got to be an exciting time and
28
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.760
exhausting time as well mentally as you kind of think
29
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.439
of all the avenues where this could go, you know,
30
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.280
doing some looking, you know, bio stuff on you. I
31
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.719
see that you come from a football family. You know,
32
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.480
your father played at BYU, he was a stud. Your
33
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.079
brother was a stud at Illinois at linebacker as well.
34
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.640
Who's the best athlete amongst you three? And you guys
35
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:39.400
ever trash talk each other about it.
36
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.400
Oh, that's a good question. Well, dang, that's a very
37
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.920
good question. I mean, i'd like to think it's myself.
38
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.079
I've played a lot of different sports growing up. I
39
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.959
don't know, but uh, I'll give it. I'll give it
40
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.920
to my brother. He's playing he's playing linebacker.
41
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.719
One of the more tough positions at the highest level.
42
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.439
So I mean, i'll give.
43
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.879
It to him. I'll let him have his cake right now.
44
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.439
Oh, right now, So that to be to be continued,
45
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.840
to be continued exactly exactly.
46
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.159
So you mentioned growing up you're played several sports. I
47
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.360
assume you played football at an early age. But with
48
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.280
that said, how do you kind of evolve into the
49
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:16.039
long snapper?
50
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:17.680
How do you get in that position growing up?
51
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.199
Well, I mean, it was kind of an unfortunate circumstance
52
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:22.719
for me, but I ended up I ended up getting
53
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.479
hurt in high school a couple of times, and I
54
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.560
had a couple of season ending injuries, so I was
55
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.800
able to play really one season of varsity high school football,
56
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:33.000
and so I was like, I really wanted to get
57
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.240
into college play football. I wanted to play college football
58
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.280
no matter how that came about. And my head coach
59
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:41.000
at high school was like, hey man, you can take
60
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:42.919
up long snapper because I was I was the long
61
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:44.639
snapper on our team just because I was like the
62
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.520
only kid that could get the ball back to the
63
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.560
punter on at any sort of a level.
64
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:51.520
On our on our high school team.
65
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.039
And he was like, hey man, you can just just
66
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.800
try to stick with this and see what happens.
67
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.280
And I ended up going to a.
68
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.039
Couple a couple of camps in the off season after
69
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.759
my senior year because I wasn't able to play my
70
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.599
senior year, and uh, I ended up getting looked at,
71
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.840
look at I look from Illinois. No, thanks to my
72
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.719
brother and uh I was.
73
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.120
Able to make a career out of it at Illinois.
74
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.039
That's that's pretty neat.
75
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.319
So so when your coach says, hey, uh you know, Lane,
76
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:18.919
what you know?
77
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.680
How much how much thought do you really put into it?
78
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.800
They you know, do you?
79
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.960
I sure you go home, you tell your family, you know,
80
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.759
you talk to your dad, Your brother's like, hey, you know,
81
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.479
coach said the long snapping thing. But I mean when
82
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.759
you're initially here, are you kind of like, there's no way, dude,
83
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:33.319
I'm not doing this.
84
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:34.680
So do you kind of take it the heart and
85
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.039
really dial in on it?
86
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.719
Well, at first, I'm not going to lie to you.
87
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.319
It was a little it was I was a little
88
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.319
bitter about it, just because of like growing up I
89
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.719
was I was I thought I was a really good athlete.
90
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.360
And not that I'm not necessarily not a good athlete,
91
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.319
but I thought I was like one of these really
92
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:49.919
good athletes.
93
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:51.520
I thought I had a shot going into college to
94
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.840
be a linebacker, and I was.
95
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.599
And then I was like getting into college as a
96
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:57.319
long snapper.
97
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:58.560
I realized that.
98
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.319
There's some very, very good athletes, especially in Division one,
99
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.319
and I was. It took me a little bit to
100
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.560
realize that I was probably not gonna have what it
101
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.199
takes to be a linebacker, and I just kind of
102
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.000
dove right into that long snapping world and just kind
103
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.719
of put my head down and try to figure it
104
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:14.240
out from there.
105
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:15.360
Excellent stuff.
106
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.680
Once again, the Illinois standout launch snapper Lane Hanson kind
107
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.560
enough to take some time out of his day and
108
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.040
talk some NFL Draft with us as we're closing in
109
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.839
on the twenty twenty sixth draft in Pittsburgh April twenty
110
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.959
third through the twenty fifth. You mentioned starting to go
111
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.920
to those camps. I know what you got, Rubio, you
112
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.079
got Chris Selly, you got the Coles camp. Did you
113
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.120
go to any of those places? Because what I'm really
114
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.560
impressed with, and even if you didn't or you trained
115
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.160
somewhere else, was so you give the kicking or you
116
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.839
give lawn snapping a try, and you go off to Illinois.
117
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.480
You know you're not at some Juco or D two three.
118
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.920
I mean you're at a big ten program. I mean
119
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.759
that that's impressive that you caught on that quickly.
120
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:53.759
Well, yeah, I went to a couple of Rubio camps,
121
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.399
get the basic mechanics.
122
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:58.279
Down and just kind of figure it out.
123
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.199
And I ended up doing pretty well at a couple
124
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.360
of the like one of my last few camps that
125
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.480
I went to, and I luckily, luckily, was luckily enough
126
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.360
to get a phone call from the coordinator at the time,
127
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.639
Ben Miller, and I.
128
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:12.480
Was able to make it there.
129
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.120
Excellent stuff, and then the rest is history and you're
130
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.160
off doing your thing in the Big ten. So I
131
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.560
guess let's get into the nitty gritty of the position.
132
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.079
I mean, when scouts start to evaluate you and they
133
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:24.959
you know, they're taking a peek under the hood, what
134
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.560
do you think they're going to love most when they
135
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.120
start dissecting you as a prospect as a long snapper?
136
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.839
I think, honestly, a lot of toughness and my ability
137
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.000
to be able to protect on punt and be able
138
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:41.040
to protect there is because I mean, the biggest thing
139
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.279
in the NFL is being obviously being able to actually do.
140
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:45.800
The job and snap the ball well.
141
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.839
But I mean at that level, everybody can everybody can
142
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.519
snap well. Everybody's a really good snapper. They throw the
143
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:53.519
ball really well, they put in the right spot every time.
144
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.879
But being able to protect and having those extras that
145
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.160
you need for like being able to perform that that
146
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.240
high of the level is something that I did in
147
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:02.879
college a lot.
148
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.199
I protected a lot in college in.
149
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.120
Our scheme, and I mean I can definitely my footwork
150
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:09.759
and I'm.
151
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.639
Very good at blocking and and your honorable mention this
152
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.879
year too, so you're getting all those accolades under your
153
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.920
belt for you. Like, we'll take us kind of into
154
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.680
the mindset of you know, how do you describe that,
155
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.279
because it has to be perfection. You know, it's it's
156
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.040
almost like a pitch. You got to get to strike.
157
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.680
You know, you can't be too high. You got to
158
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.279
get the timing rate. But you know, is it as
159
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.439
much as technique and feel? Is it a fifty to
160
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.399
fifty or is it more technique than feel? Kind of
161
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:34.000
take us through that.
162
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.560
I mean it's a lot. There's a lot of technique
163
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.199
that goes into it. I was as much as I got,
164
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:41.279
like as I went.
165
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:42.920
To those camps in high school and stuff like that
166
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.480
and learned like the basics techniques. I did a lot
167
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.160
of my own tinkering and like self like just kind
168
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.199
of like watch my own tape and I'd film myself out,
169
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:52.480
snaff and stuff like that and just.
170
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:54.399
Kind of play with some a lot of feels.
171
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.120
So yeah, it's a lot of I feel like it's
172
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:56.959
a lot of fifty to fifty.
173
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.759
You have to have the right technique, but I mean
174
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.519
everybody throws the ball a little bit. Really, It's kind
175
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.160
of like a golf swing. Everybody's going to swing their
176
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.800
own swing. But whatever feels right to you.
177
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.600
Is going to be the best way to perform at
178
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:08.040
your best.
179
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.759
And I apologize, I know there should be a speed
180
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.399
that you guys have from you know, snap to the punter.
181
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:14.560
How are you on that?
182
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:16.480
I feel like I'm.
183
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.360
I'm pretty uh, I'm at the not necessarily the top
184
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:20.920
of the pack, but I throw the ball pretty fast.
185
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.240
I mean I throw the ball right around seven zero.
186
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.480
It's like a point point seven zero seconds to get.
187
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:26.759
To the punter.
188
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.079
Yeah, so yeah, that's that's that's yeah, that's cool. So yeah,
189
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:31.920
you are, You're right there. I mean, you you're definitely,
190
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.319
I mean you're legit. I mean that's why you're a
191
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.720
draft prospect. I mean, you know, you're not you're not
192
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.639
something you know, and you're playing in a big program.
193
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:39.720
So it's it's good stuff. Now this again, this is
194
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:40.360
your podcast.
195
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.160
I know NFL personnel will listen in if they're interested
196
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.600
in particular guy, is there anything they need to know
197
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:46.480
about you that they.
198
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:47.319
Can't stay on the tape?
199
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:49.959
You know, you could have been a film room junkie,
200
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.480
a weight room warrior, a team captain, great in the community.
201
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.240
I know you were a team captain in high school.
202
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.800
What are some of the other, you know, abilities that
203
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.199
you bring that they don't know because it's not on
204
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.680
film that they us know as you close in on
205
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:02.240
this draft.
206
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.800
Yeah, that's a good question. Uh, I mean I was.
207
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.439
I was a leadership counsel for my last two seasons
208
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:09.079
at Illinois.
209
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:09.519
So I was.
210
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.480
I was a part of AUNT a group of guys
211
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.519
on our team that was voted by our peers and
212
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.680
we were uh we we work with our head coach
213
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.319
and work with some of our coaches.
214
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.879
Is just so like, see how much we can.
215
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.160
Better our locker room, better our like team building, and
216
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.439
how we can better just whatever goes on in our
217
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.639
building and as far as it could be from whether
218
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:31.959
the shower pressure needs to be better or if we're
219
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.519
need some more frigging toilet paper.
220
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.720
In the bathroom. Or we need something, but it's just
221
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:37.519
kind of a I.
222
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.080
Feel like it's a testament to the kind of guy
223
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.879
and and how I can help the team not only
224
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.799
on the field, but as far as just being a
225
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.559
locker room guy and to being a really good teammate.
226
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.519
Excellent. Your way to really kind of deliver on that
227
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:50.639
question for you.
228
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.759
Is there is there anybody that's been I guess this
229
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.559
is your show besides family and friends, coaches, mentors, who
230
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.159
are some of the people that have really kind of
231
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.080
provided you, you know, those big steps if you've kind
232
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.519
of made the big steps yourself and this path towards
233
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:04.720
the National Football League.
234
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.360
Honestly, my family has honestly been run of the best
235
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.440
for me because I mean, my dad played football at
236
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.720
the high level, my brother plays football at the highest level.
237
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.799
I mean, being able to kind of pick those guys
238
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.240
brains and being able to like just understand the mindset
239
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:23.559
and how the process is and how dedicated and how
240
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:25.879
much you have to actually love the game to be
241
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.679
to want to do this and to be able to
242
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.759
have the opportunity to do it, and how you have
243
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.399
to go into this whole draft process and how you
244
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.559
have to go into actually just performing at your best
245
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.559
level at the college football level and everything.
246
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:38.960
Excellent stuff.
247
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.559
Once again, Lane Hanson, the standout long snapper from Illinois
248
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.679
here on the c twop Talk and some NFL.
249
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:48.000
Draft Listen, dude, I was so appreciative of your time today.
250
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.960
It was fabulous to getting to share you with our
251
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.519
draft audience. But before we let you go, we called
252
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.399
three and out. There are a few light hearted, off
253
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:55.919
the wall questions. You ready take a shot with some
254
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.919
of those? Let's go, man, All right, Well we'll stick
255
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.440
with your brother, Jake. When's the last time mom and
256
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.000
dad had to separate you two because things got two
257
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:04.480
out of hand.
258
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:06.480
Oh that's a good question.
259
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:12.559
Uh, probably my brother's junior year in college.
260
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.240
We would uh, we would get into we would get
261
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.279
into some some some scraps and in his in his
262
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.960
apartment at UH Illinois sometimes when I was in high school,
263
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:23.480
just little stuff.
264
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.399
But sometimes you know, a little brother we loved. We
265
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:27.799
get a little out of hand, we get a little
266
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:29.799
too rowdy, but it is what it is.
267
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.159
Yeah, that happened to me.
268
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:34.840
I think my last running with my brother was I
269
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.279
think his senior year. And I'm not the biggest guy,
270
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.120
but my brother turned into be one of the huge,
271
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.600
the largest human beings on earth. So that was like
272
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.600
the last moment I had a shot at it.
273
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:43.879
Now.
274
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.120
Uh yeah.
275
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.399
So I always joke if I told you my little
276
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.399
brother was coming, you'd be like, what is he force
277
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:50.879
foot tall? You know?
278
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:51.799
And then you see this.
279
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.519
Monster arrive, You're like, oh, you guys, yeah, how.
280
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.320
About this one? Are we more likely to see? Lane Hanson?
281
00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.639
Is the lead singer of a boy band or Mel
282
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.279
run Model strutting your stuff?
283
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:07.200
Oh that's a fantastic question. I'd have to go with
284
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.720
lead singer. But boy band, man, there's nothing there's nothing
285
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:11.600
like getting on stage.
286
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.039
Man, I don't know. It sounds like a lovely time.
287
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.639
I love it.
288
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.879
You know what's funny, Lane is I I've asked, been
289
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:21.200
asking that question for so long, and it's always Mel
290
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:25.000
Runway Model, But this year it is an overwhelming landslide
291
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:27.960
towards the lead singer. So I don't know what's happened
292
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.519
with the twenty twenty sixth draft class. But you guys
293
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.600
are all stage boy band guys, so it's just a
294
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.600
it's a collective and then the final one is we
295
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.559
build towards this draft. I assume draft weekend. You're gonna
296
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.240
be with your family and your friends. You're waiting to
297
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.279
hear your name come off your off the boarder where
298
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.919
you're gonna sign. But what that said, who's the best
299
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.279
cook and the handsome family? What would you like that
300
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.399
person to half prepared if you celebrate this next football journey.
301
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:55.080
Oh it's that's a tough question because my mom is
302
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.320
a great cook, fantastic cook, and my dad is a
303
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.279
pretty pretty dang good on the smoker. So I might
304
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.480
have might have to get both of those. Both of
305
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.919
my lovely parents have something cooked up for me.
306
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.759
It'll be a great weekend, all right.
307
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.039
I how about this one seven game series? Who wins?
308
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:10.639
Mom or Dad?
309
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:12.000
Oh?
310
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:19.240
Man, Oh, you can't put me in this position. I
311
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:20.679
think I'm gonna have to go with the mom and
312
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:21.399
my mom.
313
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.759
Hey, you always got to go with me.

00:12:24.279 --> 00:12:25.120
It's going it's.
315
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:26.840
Going to seven though, I'm not gonna lie. It's going
316
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.360
all the way. It's gonna be a nail bier, and
317
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:30.600
it's gonna have to be my mom.
318
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.759
Well, your mom is now on the clock after winning and.
319
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.720
Seven and a nail bier, and I'm sure your dad
320
00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.799

the show because we don't get that many each draft season,
13
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:48.920
will always get about two or three. But nonetheless they're
14
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:51.240
always fun to talk to because it just kind of
15
00:00:51.280 --> 00:00:53.439
takes us in a different direction from the positions that
16
00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:56.719
we're so accustomed to talking about. But with that said, Lane,
17
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.000
you've had a great career. You're knocking at the doorstep
18
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:02.320
the National Football League. But with that said, how is
19
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:03.359
its afternoon treating you?
20
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:03.799
My friend?
21
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:05.280
It's going good man.
22
00:01:05.359 --> 00:01:07.680
Just finished up a workout and just kind of relaxing
23
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:10.040
now and I'm ready to get to this next step.
24
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:12.560
What ready to wait and see what goes on for me?
25
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.040
This is coming this end of April here.
26
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:16.560
Yeah, I mean a couple of weeks away.
27
00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:18.359
I'm sure it's got to be an exciting time and
28
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:20.760
exhausting time as well mentally as you kind of think
29
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:23.439
of all the avenues where this could go, you know,
30
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.280
doing some looking, you know, bio stuff on you. I
31
00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.719
see that you come from a football family. You know,
32
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.480
your father played at BYU, he was a stud. Your
33
00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:34.079
brother was a stud at Illinois at linebacker as well.
34
00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.640
Who's the best athlete amongst you three? And you guys
35
00:01:37.719 --> 00:01:39.400
ever trash talk each other about it.
36
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.400
Oh, that's a good question. Well, dang, that's a very
37
00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:46.920
good question. I mean, i'd like to think it's myself.
38
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:49.079
I've played a lot of different sports growing up. I
39
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:51.959
don't know, but uh, I'll give it. I'll give it
40
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:54.920
to my brother. He's playing he's playing linebacker.
41
00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.719
One of the more tough positions at the highest level.
42
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:58.439
So I mean, i'll give.
43
00:01:58.319 --> 00:02:00.879
It to him. I'll let him have his cake right now.
44
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:04.439
Oh, right now, So that to be to be continued,
45
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.840
to be continued exactly exactly.
46
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.159
So you mentioned growing up you're played several sports. I
47
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:12.360
assume you played football at an early age. But with
48
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:15.280
that said, how do you kind of evolve into the
49
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:16.039
long snapper?
50
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:17.680
How do you get in that position growing up?
51
00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:21.199
Well, I mean, it was kind of an unfortunate circumstance
52
00:02:21.199 --> 00:02:22.719
for me, but I ended up I ended up getting
53
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.479
hurt in high school a couple of times, and I
54
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:27.560
had a couple of season ending injuries, so I was
55
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.800
able to play really one season of varsity high school football,
56
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:33.000
and so I was like, I really wanted to get
57
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:35.240
into college play football. I wanted to play college football
58
00:02:35.240 --> 00:02:38.280
no matter how that came about. And my head coach
59
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:41.000
at high school was like, hey man, you can take
60
00:02:41.080 --> 00:02:42.919
up long snapper because I was I was the long
61
00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:44.639
snapper on our team just because I was like the
62
00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:46.520
only kid that could get the ball back to the
63
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.560
punter on at any sort of a level.
64
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:51.520
On our on our high school team.
65
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:53.039
And he was like, hey man, you can just just
66
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:54.800
try to stick with this and see what happens.
67
00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:56.280
And I ended up going to a.
68
00:02:56.240 --> 00:02:59.039
Couple a couple of camps in the off season after
69
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:01.759
my senior year because I wasn't able to play my
70
00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:05.599
senior year, and uh, I ended up getting looked at,
71
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:07.840
look at I look from Illinois. No, thanks to my
72
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.719
brother and uh I was.
73
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.120
Able to make a career out of it at Illinois.
74
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:15.039
That's that's pretty neat.
75
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:18.319
So so when your coach says, hey, uh you know, Lane,
76
00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:18.919
what you know?
77
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.680
How much how much thought do you really put into it?
78
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:22.800
They you know, do you?
79
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:24.960
I sure you go home, you tell your family, you know,
80
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:26.759
you talk to your dad, Your brother's like, hey, you know,
81
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.479
coach said the long snapping thing. But I mean when
82
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:32.759
you're initially here, are you kind of like, there's no way, dude,
83
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:33.319
I'm not doing this.
84
00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:34.680
So do you kind of take it the heart and
85
00:03:34.719 --> 00:03:36.039
really dial in on it?
86
00:03:36.639 --> 00:03:38.719
Well, at first, I'm not going to lie to you.
87
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:40.319
It was a little it was I was a little
88
00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:42.319
bitter about it, just because of like growing up I
89
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.719
was I was I thought I was a really good athlete.
90
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.360
And not that I'm not necessarily not a good athlete,
91
00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.319
but I thought I was like one of these really
92
00:03:49.360 --> 00:03:49.919
good athletes.
93
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:51.520
I thought I had a shot going into college to
94
00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:53.840
be a linebacker, and I was.
95
00:03:53.960 --> 00:03:56.599
And then I was like getting into college as a
96
00:03:56.599 --> 00:03:57.319
long snapper.
97
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:58.560
I realized that.
98
00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.319
There's some very, very good athletes, especially in Division one,
99
00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:05.319
and I was. It took me a little bit to
100
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.560
realize that I was probably not gonna have what it
101
00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:09.199
takes to be a linebacker, and I just kind of
102
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:12.000
dove right into that long snapping world and just kind
103
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:13.719
of put my head down and try to figure it
104
00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:14.240
out from there.
105
00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:15.360
Excellent stuff.
106
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:18.680
Once again, the Illinois standout launch snapper Lane Hanson kind
107
00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:20.560
enough to take some time out of his day and
108
00:04:20.639 --> 00:04:23.040
talk some NFL Draft with us as we're closing in
109
00:04:23.079 --> 00:04:25.839
on the twenty twenty sixth draft in Pittsburgh April twenty
110
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:28.959
third through the twenty fifth. You mentioned starting to go
111
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:30.920
to those camps. I know what you got, Rubio, you
112
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:33.079
got Chris Selly, you got the Coles camp. Did you
113
00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:35.120
go to any of those places? Because what I'm really
114
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.560
impressed with, and even if you didn't or you trained
115
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.160
somewhere else, was so you give the kicking or you
116
00:04:40.160 --> 00:04:42.839
give lawn snapping a try, and you go off to Illinois.
117
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.480
You know you're not at some Juco or D two three.
118
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.920
I mean you're at a big ten program. I mean
119
00:04:47.959 --> 00:04:50.759
that that's impressive that you caught on that quickly.
120
00:04:51.920 --> 00:04:53.759
Well, yeah, I went to a couple of Rubio camps,
121
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.399
get the basic mechanics.
122
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:58.279
Down and just kind of figure it out.
123
00:04:58.360 --> 00:05:01.199
And I ended up doing pretty well at a couple
124
00:05:01.199 --> 00:05:03.360
of the like one of my last few camps that
125
00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.480
I went to, and I luckily, luckily, was luckily enough
126
00:05:06.519 --> 00:05:09.360
to get a phone call from the coordinator at the time,
127
00:05:09.399 --> 00:05:11.639
Ben Miller, and I.
128
00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:12.480
Was able to make it there.
129
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:15.120
Excellent stuff, and then the rest is history and you're
130
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:17.160
off doing your thing in the Big ten. So I
131
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:19.560
guess let's get into the nitty gritty of the position.
132
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:23.079
I mean, when scouts start to evaluate you and they
133
00:05:23.120 --> 00:05:24.959
you know, they're taking a peek under the hood, what
134
00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:26.560
do you think they're going to love most when they
135
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.120
start dissecting you as a prospect as a long snapper?
136
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.839
I think, honestly, a lot of toughness and my ability
137
00:05:34.920 --> 00:05:37.000
to be able to protect on punt and be able
138
00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:41.040
to protect there is because I mean, the biggest thing
139
00:05:41.040 --> 00:05:44.279
in the NFL is being obviously being able to actually do.
140
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:45.800
The job and snap the ball well.
141
00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.839
But I mean at that level, everybody can everybody can
142
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:51.519
snap well. Everybody's a really good snapper. They throw the
143
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:53.519
ball really well, they put in the right spot every time.
144
00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.879
But being able to protect and having those extras that
145
00:05:56.920 --> 00:06:00.160
you need for like being able to perform that that
146
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:02.240
high of the level is something that I did in
147
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:02.879
college a lot.
148
00:06:02.959 --> 00:06:05.199
I protected a lot in college in.
149
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:09.120
Our scheme, and I mean I can definitely my footwork
150
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:09.759
and I'm.
151
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.639
Very good at blocking and and your honorable mention this
152
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:14.879
year too, so you're getting all those accolades under your
153
00:06:14.879 --> 00:06:17.920
belt for you. Like, we'll take us kind of into
154
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.680
the mindset of you know, how do you describe that,
155
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:23.279
because it has to be perfection. You know, it's it's
156
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:25.040
almost like a pitch. You got to get to strike.
157
00:06:25.240 --> 00:06:26.680
You know, you can't be too high. You got to
158
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:29.279
get the timing rate. But you know, is it as
159
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:31.439
much as technique and feel? Is it a fifty to
160
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:33.399
fifty or is it more technique than feel? Kind of
161
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:34.000
take us through that.
162
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:36.560
I mean it's a lot. There's a lot of technique
163
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:40.199
that goes into it. I was as much as I got,
164
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:41.279
like as I went.
165
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:42.920
To those camps in high school and stuff like that
166
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:45.480
and learned like the basics techniques. I did a lot
167
00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.160
of my own tinkering and like self like just kind
168
00:06:49.160 --> 00:06:51.199
of like watch my own tape and I'd film myself out,
169
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:52.480
snaff and stuff like that and just.
170
00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:54.399
Kind of play with some a lot of feels.
171
00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:56.120
So yeah, it's a lot of I feel like it's
172
00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:56.959
a lot of fifty to fifty.
173
00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.759
You have to have the right technique, but I mean
174
00:06:58.800 --> 00:07:00.519
everybody throws the ball a little bit. Really, It's kind
175
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.160
of like a golf swing. Everybody's going to swing their
176
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:04.800
own swing. But whatever feels right to you.
177
00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:07.600
Is going to be the best way to perform at
178
00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:08.040
your best.
179
00:07:08.399 --> 00:07:10.759
And I apologize, I know there should be a speed
180
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:13.399
that you guys have from you know, snap to the punter.
181
00:07:13.560 --> 00:07:14.560
How are you on that?
182
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:16.480
I feel like I'm.
183
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.360
I'm pretty uh, I'm at the not necessarily the top
184
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:20.920
of the pack, but I throw the ball pretty fast.
185
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.240
I mean I throw the ball right around seven zero.
186
00:07:23.279 --> 00:07:26.480
It's like a point point seven zero seconds to get.
187
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:26.759
To the punter.
188
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.079
Yeah, so yeah, that's that's that's yeah, that's cool. So yeah,

190
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.319
I mean you're legit. I mean that's why you're a
191
00:07:33.360 --> 00:07:35.720
draft prospect. I mean, you know, you're not you're not
192
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:37.639
something you know, and you're playing in a big program.
193
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:39.720
So it's it's good stuff. Now this again, this is
194
00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:40.360
your podcast.
195
00:07:40.399 --> 00:07:43.160
I know NFL personnel will listen in if they're interested
196
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:45.600
in particular guy, is there anything they need to know
197
00:07:45.639 --> 00:07:46.480
about you that they.
198
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:47.319
Can't stay on the tape?
199
00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:49.959
You know, you could have been a film room junkie,
200
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.480
a weight room warrior, a team captain, great in the community.
201
00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.240
I know you were a team captain in high school.
202
00:07:54.560 --> 00:07:56.800
What are some of the other, you know, abilities that
203
00:07:56.879 --> 00:07:59.199
you bring that they don't know because it's not on
204
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:01.680
film that they us know as you close in on
205
00:08:01.720 --> 00:08:02.240
this draft.
206
00:08:03.759 --> 00:08:05.800
Yeah, that's a good question. Uh, I mean I was.
207
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:08.439
I was a leadership counsel for my last two seasons
208
00:08:08.480 --> 00:08:09.079
at Illinois.
209
00:08:09.160 --> 00:08:09.519
So I was.
210
00:08:09.879 --> 00:08:12.480
I was a part of AUNT a group of guys
211
00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.519
on our team that was voted by our peers and
212
00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.680
we were uh we we work with our head coach
213
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.319
and work with some of our coaches.
214
00:08:19.399 --> 00:08:21.879
Is just so like, see how much we can.
215
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.160
Better our locker room, better our like team building, and
216
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.439
how we can better just whatever goes on in our
217
00:08:27.439 --> 00:08:29.639
building and as far as it could be from whether
218
00:08:29.720 --> 00:08:31.959
the shower pressure needs to be better or if we're
219
00:08:32.519 --> 00:08:34.519
need some more frigging toilet paper.
220
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.720
In the bathroom. Or we need something, but it's just
221
00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:37.519
kind of a I.
222
00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:39.080
Feel like it's a testament to the kind of guy
223
00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.879
and and how I can help the team not only
224
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.799
on the field, but as far as just being a
225
00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.559
locker room guy and to being a really good teammate.
226
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.519
Excellent. Your way to really kind of deliver on that
227
00:08:49.639 --> 00:08:50.639
question for you.
228
00:08:50.679 --> 00:08:52.759
Is there is there anybody that's been I guess this
229
00:08:52.919 --> 00:08:56.559
is your show besides family and friends, coaches, mentors, who
230
00:08:56.600 --> 00:08:58.159
are some of the people that have really kind of
231
00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.080
provided you, you know, those big steps if you've kind
232
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.519
of made the big steps yourself and this path towards
233
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:04.720
the National Football League.
234
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:09.360
Honestly, my family has honestly been run of the best
235
00:09:09.399 --> 00:09:11.440
for me because I mean, my dad played football at
236
00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.720
the high level, my brother plays football at the highest level.
237
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:15.799
I mean, being able to kind of pick those guys
238
00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:19.240
brains and being able to like just understand the mindset
239
00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:23.559
and how the process is and how dedicated and how
240
00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:25.879
much you have to actually love the game to be
241
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.679
to want to do this and to be able to
242
00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:30.759
have the opportunity to do it, and how you have
243
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.399
to go into this whole draft process and how you
244
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.559
have to go into actually just performing at your best
245
00:09:35.639 --> 00:09:37.559
level at the college football level and everything.
246
00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:38.960
Excellent stuff.
247
00:09:39.039 --> 00:09:42.559
Once again, Lane Hanson, the standout long snapper from Illinois
248
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:44.679
here on the c twop Talk and some NFL.
249
00:09:44.480 --> 00:09:48.000
Draft Listen, dude, I was so appreciative of your time today.
250
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.960
It was fabulous to getting to share you with our
251
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:52.519
draft audience. But before we let you go, we called
252
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.399
three and out. There are a few light hearted, off
253
00:09:54.399 --> 00:09:55.919
the wall questions. You ready take a shot with some
254
00:09:55.960 --> 00:09:58.919
of those? Let's go, man, All right, Well we'll stick
255
00:09:58.960 --> 00:10:01.440
with your brother, Jake. When's the last time mom and
256
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.000
dad had to separate you two because things got two
257
00:10:04.000 --> 00:10:04.480
out of hand.
258
00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:06.480
Oh that's a good question.
259
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:12.559
Uh, probably my brother's junior year in college.
260
00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:15.240
We would uh, we would get into we would get
261
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.279
into some some some scraps and in his in his
262
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:21.960
apartment at UH Illinois sometimes when I was in high school,
263
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:23.480
just little stuff.
264
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:26.399
But sometimes you know, a little brother we loved. We
265
00:10:26.480 --> 00:10:27.799
get a little out of hand, we get a little
266
00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:29.799
too rowdy, but it is what it is.
267
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.159
Yeah, that happened to me.
268
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:34.840
I think my last running with my brother was I
269
00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.279
think his senior year. And I'm not the biggest guy,
270
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:39.120
but my brother turned into be one of the huge,
271
00:10:39.159 --> 00:10:41.600
the largest human beings on earth. So that was like
272
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:43.600
the last moment I had a shot at it.
273
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:43.879
Now.
274
00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.120
Uh yeah.
275
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.399
So I always joke if I told you my little
276
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.399
brother was coming, you'd be like, what is he force
277
00:10:49.399 --> 00:10:50.879
foot tall? You know?
278
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:51.799
And then you see this.
279
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.519
Monster arrive, You're like, oh, you guys, yeah, how.
280
00:10:54.399 --> 00:10:57.320
About this one? Are we more likely to see? Lane Hanson?
281
00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.639
Is the lead singer of a boy band or Mel
282
00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.279
run Model strutting your stuff?
283
00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:07.200
Oh that's a fantastic question. I'd have to go with
284
00:11:07.320 --> 00:11:10.720
lead singer. But boy band, man, there's nothing there's nothing
285
00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:11.600
like getting on stage.
286
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:14.039
Man, I don't know. It sounds like a lovely time.
287
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.639
I love it.
288
00:11:15.720 --> 00:11:17.879
You know what's funny, Lane is I I've asked, been
289
00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:21.200
asking that question for so long, and it's always Mel
290
00:11:21.320 --> 00:11:25.000
Runway Model, But this year it is an overwhelming landslide
291
00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:27.960
towards the lead singer. So I don't know what's happened
292
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.519
with the twenty twenty sixth draft class. But you guys
293
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.600
are all stage boy band guys, so it's just a
294
00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.600
it's a collective and then the final one is we
295
00:11:36.639 --> 00:11:39.559
build towards this draft. I assume draft weekend. You're gonna
296
00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.240
be with your family and your friends. You're waiting to
297
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:43.279
hear your name come off your off the boarder where
298
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.919
you're gonna sign. But what that said, who's the best
299
00:11:45.919 --> 00:11:48.279
cook and the handsome family? What would you like that
300
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:51.399
person to half prepared if you celebrate this next football journey.
301
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:55.080
Oh it's that's a tough question because my mom is
302
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.320
a great cook, fantastic cook, and my dad is a
303
00:11:58.000 --> 00:12:01.279
pretty pretty dang good on the smoker. So I might
304
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.480
have might have to get both of those. Both of
305
00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:05.919
my lovely parents have something cooked up for me.
306
00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:07.759
It'll be a great weekend, all right.
307
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.039
I how about this one seven game series? Who wins?
308
00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:10.639
Mom or Dad?
309
00:12:11.480 --> 00:12:12.000
Oh?
310
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:19.240
Man, Oh, you can't put me in this position. I
311
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:20.679
think I'm gonna have to go with the mom and
312
00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:21.399
my mom.
313
00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:23.759
Hey, you always got to go with me.

It's going it's.
315
00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:26.840
Going to seven though, I'm not gonna lie. It's going
316
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:29.360
all the way. It's gonna be a nail bier, and
317
00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:30.600
it's gonna have to be my mom.
318
00:12:31.120 --> 00:12:33.759
Well, your mom is now on the clock after winning and.
319
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.720
Seven and a nail bier, and I'm sure your dad

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:38.799
will pitch in because he's a team player as well. Absolutely,
321
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:40.720
