Speaker 1 (00:00):
C K on Sports Fox Sports Radio. We're live on
radio row. Very exciting count down to the Super Bowl.
Introduce yourself, man, ad Mitchell. Second year in the NFL
playing for the New York Jets. Man, let's go all right,
playing for the New York Jets. Let me ask you this,
what has that transition been like from you coming to Texas,
(00:22):
coming to the NFL and then now in your second year.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Man, it's it's it's been a journey. Man.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
You know, every everybody comes out of comes out of college,
you know, kind of kind of feeling themselves. Uh, you know,
speaking of which which is actually one of the one
of my kind of talking points.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
You know.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
You know I'm while I was coming out entering the draft, right,
you know, there was a narrative around my name, you
know that kind of just you know, people were picking
at my my disease. Uh okay, right, kind of just
you know, having questions and concerns and you know, not
really knowing too much about the disease that I've have,
(01:08):
so kind of just jumping to conclusions right on everything.
But you know, I'm here now to tell you, you know,
I ended up beating those odds, and you know, you know, diabetes,
Diabetic people are capable of living out a full life
and being you know, whatever they put their mind.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
So you see, I'm liking the fact that you're talking
about that because there's a lot of kids that grew
up needing insulin, a lot of kids that grew up
having to check themselves all the time and to watch
what they eat. If their sugar went one way or
the other, that would change their mood. I had a
lot of friends that were diabetic, so I understand that
lifestyle because you have to watch out for them. You
(01:50):
never know, and I've seen people go into a diabetic shock.
It's scary. So how did you manage that as a child?
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Of course, you know started off finger pricking. Yeah yeah,
And I make the transition into college and you know,
my my nutrition is kind of put me onto this
to this thing called dex com continue as glue coost
monitor man that you slip on the back of the arm,
and you know it, it sends you alerts and unless
you know kind of what your blood sugar is without
(02:17):
without having to without having to do those tests, yeah yeah,
and you know now you can now you can see
the trend that's what's going on, and you know, you
you know exactly how how your day has looked and
how it will look in the future. You know what
I'm saying with the dex com.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
By the time you got to college and now playing
in the pros, I'm sure you had it under control.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Were there times maybe during Pop Warner, maybe early high
school where you were like, man, my sugar fiells off
and you had to manage it throughout the game.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
Yeah, I will say, you know, I was. I was.
Speaker 3 (02:51):
I was diagnosed to sixteen sixteen. Okay, this was right
after my junior year of football, right, So that had
to be a transition for you.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Yeah, oh, definitely, definitely.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I mean there you are living your best life all
the way up to fifteen years old. I mean, when
you're a teenager, you while out a little bit. I
know I was there a long time ago, but I'm saying, like,
while out a little bit, and then sixteen life changes
your Type one diabetic?
Speaker 2 (03:20):
How did you handle that? Uh?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
You know, big shout out to my mom. Okay, you
know she she uh, you know, she she made sure
my head was on straight right, and you know, by
the time I made the transition into college, you know,
I started picking up a little bit of the right habits,
right and then you know, once I once I got
my hands on the continuous blue Coost Monitors car.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
That's really when I say that was the game changer.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Yes, right there, So we gotta give a shout to
dex Con, shout out to de game changers. But let
me talk about you in your career, because you are
a game changer. You were a game changer at Texas.
I know you want to be a game changer in
the NFL. I just saw the let genderry Jerry Rice
walk By. That's a name that all wide receivers one day,
(04:04):
hope they could be even mentioned in the same breath
as a Jerry Rice. That was a game changer. How
do you feel like you can take that next step
to be a game changer for the team that you're
going to play for, the New York Jets.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Just just just staying consistent, Okay, I know what I
bring to the game, right, you know.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
I saw you in Texas.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I know what you bring to the game.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
A different, different type of skill set you And you
know I say, I say, my my skill set really
starts behind the scene by by you know kind of
the work I put in and the detail that goes
into that. Yes, and you know, the film watching and
kind of everything everything around that. You know, I think
it'll just be about staying consistent, man, and just and
(04:50):
just keeping the confidence high, always believing in yourself. I
feel like that's the that's the biggest difference in players.
You know, It's the NFL is filled with a bunch
of talented players, but it's the confidence that that really
separates people. Off season is also key. What is your
plan for the off season? Oh, man, I gotta, I gotta.
(05:10):
I gotta get stronger and faster and better, Okay, in
every every way. Gotta make the best of every opportunity.
Gotta make the best of every opportunity. And you know,
it's a difficult transition to go from college to the pros.
And like I said, in Texas with us, I mean,
we was watching Texas for a long time, but when
when zay Way went out there, We're like, Okay, let's
(05:33):
see who's playing opposite or Worthy.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Let's see who's out there.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
With him, you know, And I'm like, oh, damn, Okay,
Mitchell out there, Hey D's out there. So you know,
I got to see your journey a little bit, and
so I've been following you a little bit in the NFL.
But I'm like, I need my guy Ad to get on.
I need my guy to A D needs to do
what a D was doing in Texas. We need to
get you there, bro. So that's why I'm I'm harping
on you a little bit. I'm like, off season, workout,
(05:57):
do the right things. You know what, diave, make sure
you take care of yourself. Shout out to dex Come
because I mean, I tell you right now, you definitely
are one of those players. And I'm like, man, watch
out for Ad. When he gets it and he gets
it right, he gonna be special.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Yeah. Yeah, So appreciate you. No, man, I watched you. Man,
I watched you.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
So before we let you go, I'm sure there's a
lot of kids that may have been in your shoes
that may have been thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, and shout out
to dex Com again and realize, man, something's not right.
I'm not feeling right. My body's not right. Next thing
you know, they find out they're diabetic. What do you
want to tell them? As far as look at you
(06:41):
now in the NFL and how they can grow up
and live their dreams even dealing with diabetes.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
Man, it's possible. Man. Everything you want to be in
life is possible. You know.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
It's all about just being responsible and educating yourself on
the disease. And you know, I would recommend you know,
getting on with the with the dex Com seven to
to definitely to definitely help help kickstart that, you know,
for for all the newly diabetics out there.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Man. But you know, it's it's it's possible. Man. It
doesn't have to be a burden. Man.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
It doesn't have to be something that's holding you back,
but it could be something that's that's that's pushed you
forward in life. Man. It'll definitely teach you to discipline.
It it takes to.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
To walk off fields of life.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Man.
