Speaker 1 (00:05):
Hello, and welcome to Packers POV, a podcast that aims
to shine a light on the human behind the helmet.
I'm your host, Taylor Rogers, and we're here inside historic
Lambeau Field. Today's guest hails from Savannah, Georgia. He was
a two time national champ at UGA. Now as an
NFL rookie, he has double digit tackles and a half
(00:27):
sacked to his name. Introducing Packers d lyman Warren Brinson.
That's perfect, man, we haven't done that yet. I'll meet
you there.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I have double digit tackles. Holy, it's crazy. I didn't know.
It's kind of fun. I want to get to one
hundred one season, like Christian Wilkins. One hundred is crazy,
right for a d tackle? Oh yeah, Christian Wilkins got
a hundred. I did that. Let's getting to that ball.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
But yeah, yeah, you kicked some more tackles in this
most recent victory against the Bears. And then I saw
you at the very end of that Keyshawn Nixon, I
in t in the end zone, celebrating with everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah I was. I wasn't gonna run on the field
at first, but once I seen Sean Gary run in
the field and I was like, okay, put your you
can run. They let RG go. I can do it.
It's not the model to fit as a rookie. It's
follow what RG does. But in this instinct to celebrate,
like it's a robbery game, so you gotta make it fun.
So when you in the game like that, everybody should
running the field and it's to support. I'm happy they
(01:32):
didn't throw any flags for all of us come out
the sideline. But yeah, no, it was cool.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I even saw offensive players like Christian Watson came in too.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
That's how it should be, though, Like it's a robbery game.
I feel like when you have a robbery just like
we had with Georgia and Georgia Tech, it's supposed to
be like a little bit of a dirty match, like
even like the stuff, the chippy stuff in the beginning night.
That's a robbery game. That's how it's supposed to be.
But in the game off like that, I haven't seen
Keshan get the pick. It's like, man, let's go celebrate.
I was hoping he Lambo leaped. I should have ran
up there, Lambo, but yeah, bro, I just wanted to
(02:02):
run the field, be out there make fun of the
Bears a little bit. I saw that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I run back to the sideline, that visible celebration for
people that can't see us. How would you describe what
you're doing right now?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Take your left hand and cup it, put it over
your nose halfway above your mouth. Take your other hand
and flap it up and down like you're doing the
Christian Watson's one piece celebration, and keep flapping it. And
it's like, pu, you stink. That's what I think it means.
I don't know what it really means, but I say, like,
you guys, think, get out of here, shoe fly. I
love that you're just doing it. Also, Yeah, that's what
(02:37):
I think it is.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Like you guys, think, now, how long did you take
to celebrate that victory?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Just that night? Honestly, hanging out with the guys, busting
with the boys, not long Mas's. It's the NFL. That's
a small victory and a bigger piece of what we
want to do and accomplish, Like we want to win
a championship. So that's gonna be the real celebrations. When
we ultimately win the North, that should be a celebration.
Be the number one in the NFC playoff games, Definitely
celebrate those. Maybe an NFC championship if we get blessed
(03:03):
and get the opportunity and in the Super Bowl, that
should be your bigger celebration. So I mean, it's just
a small victory you celebrated for a very short time.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
One of those people that you won national champions with,
Nazir's Stackhouse, current Packers teammate, and your college roommate back
in Georgia. Have you gotten closer with some of the
Georgia Bulldogs or anyone here that you didn't know yet
when you arrived at Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
One thing I respect about this team is there's not
a lot of egos here. Nobody has an ego. Even
when I met Michael Parsons, a lot of guys that
are blessed and fortunate as he is. Sometimes it comes
through the ego and meeting Micah and seeing how humble
over guy he was, and just he fits the culture
of his team. The no egos, and I mean it's
not any specific guys that I've gotten close with. You
(03:44):
can the fact that there are no egos, no people
were inflated senses of self on this team. It makes
us be able to connect as a whole unit, like
we're all thinking, feeling, being as one. We're all working
towards the same exact goal. I've connected with a lot
of guys on the team, and it's really everybody. Everybody
is You're able to talk to everybody on the team.
(04:05):
And that's why I like about this place. It's a
real team. It's not just a bunch of individuals fighting
for trying to do something, trying to get individual goals
and accoltes. The people have their individual goals and accolades,
but people are getting mad pouting about stuff like oh,
I'm not getting the ball. It's like, no, we're working
towards being together. You're doing your piece in order for
us to be successful.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
And you commented on that closeness earlier this season, you said,
this locker room is tighter than a lot of people
would expect. Can you talk about that.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
The one thing that I can see deterior locker rooms.
In my freshman year of Georgia, we weren't really close
at all. We weren't connected at all, and it was
just the fact of egos, inflated sense themselfs, people thinking
they're bigger than what they are, Bigger than the program.
That's what it is about this team. Everybody. We're all
working and striving for the same goals. If people have
their individual goals and agendas for themselves, they're not letting
(04:54):
that be a distraction from what the whole team's goal is.
In the end of the day of making it to
a Super Bowl, I meant by that we are tighter
because there's not people with egos and like egos tear
down the whole kingdom.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And you guys seem to be having fun too in
the process. Sure, you credited your D line coach at Georgia,
Trace Scott, with helping you develop a love for football
you didn't know you had.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Has your love now for football grown since becoming a packer?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh yeah, not only my D line coach, but my
trainer Tom Bender working with him and just discovering like
there's more of my body that I can get out.
And I'm known Toime for about two or three years,
but I really didn't start getting to work with him
until before I came into camp this past summer and
it was like, bro, I worked with you for six
weeks and this is what you did to me, and
like and he told me, like, you're not even fifty
(05:41):
percent of where you can be at. So it's like
I don't have more of a love. I have a
love of football, but my love is for seeing the
distance I can take my body in order to prepare
and be better at football. That's my love. Watching my
body transform, watch my movement transform, looking at the things
that I can possibly do and the outcomes I can
possibly have, and it's like it's limitless potential, honestly, And
(06:02):
I know he knows who he was talking about. He
trained Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, justin Houston, Meta BK, countless guys,
he had o Cho Senko, like he trained a lot
of people, Like he's a well known trainer. He has
a couple of gold jackets. And that's Julia Jones. Like,
man's insane him telling me that, knowing from what he's
known and what he has seen, it is like, all right,
you got something here, Like what are you gonna do
(06:23):
with it? How far are you gonna let this take you?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, you're starting to show it now on the field.
You've gotten more and more snaps as this season has
gone on, and I'm sure you've realized even since training
camp when you were ripping around on the bike that
this fan base here in Green Bay is special.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, it's like a college. How much they support us.
That the fact that our season ticket list takes one
hundred years to even get your season tickets like that's
and the fans in this town built this team. I
learned about the history of the team. So that makes
it even more important to want the ball out because
when the team was needed some money, the town came
back in to help because they wanted to see us scceeed.
So it's like, how can you not pay it back
(07:02):
to a town whose ancestors are the reason that we
are here still to this day. Because some of those people,
whose people whose parents or families helped put money in
this team or are still around a green made to
his day. So I mean that the fans are insane,
Like insane, you can't even go out without getting recognized.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I believe it.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Is there an interaction that stands out to you from
Packers fans?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
So far? You know we're football players, by then they
were also regular people too, Like I have an identity
outside of football. Besides that, I'm just number not even
one for agreement Packers. But I was just like going
to Endozi's with some of my boys from the University
of Georgia who came up here to watch the game
is Menas and I'm walking in and it's like warmers
(07:47):
warmer they're coming to I'm like, have a beer, beers
everyone about. But it's really it's the upside in the
downside too, because like understand that people like you don't
get to see a package player all the time, but
(08:07):
it's like you do feel like you're under a microscope,
which we are. We influence people without knowing that we
influence people. So we do have to do the right
things at all time and have integrity eight to be
able to do that. But that'd be the hardest part
living up here is just like I walk into a
restaurant there's people are just staring at you. Yeap. That
is the hardest part. It's just like it's kind of
(08:29):
hard living like a normal type life up here. And
I can only imagine for a guy like Georgian love
you can't You probably can't even go to what's called
hyde if you want it to, you know, right, So
that's that's to be the hardest part. Is you're almost
like a celebrity.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Now one of your own fans is your mom Monique,
and you guys seem like a truly strong team. You've
said that she helps motivate you.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
She doesn't do it with her words. It's just how
hard she's worked her whole life just to get me here.
And like I've seen the sacrifice she's made in order
to get me to where I'm at, just countless hours
of sacrifice and in order for me just to be
able to be here. And I'm just honestly blessed to
be able to take a little bit of the load off.
Obviously I can't retire her yet, but the goal is
to make sure she doesn't have to work.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And she also helps you with the Warren Brinston Foundation.
She was actually just a.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Few weeks ago my Turkey drift, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Handing out hundreds of on your behalf while you played football.
Is there anything you'd like to say to her while
you have the mic down.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
She's the queen appreciated. She know her job. She know
the job like that, she got to get that stuff done.
We got to help people, no matter how people get help.
People got to get help. You know, you know, people
didn't have money for almost some people an't getting paid.
So the goal was just to lightning load for somebody
as much as I can. And this is touch as
many people as possible. My mom, she's bigger into giving
(09:51):
back to me. Like I have money missing from my house,
and it's like, yeah, she's found a whole bunch of
one dollar bills. It doesn't matter where those one dollar
bills came from, but she found a whole bunch of
one of those bills. I forgot about it, but that's probably
like six hundred once. But she was like, yeah, I
took all the ones, and I just started giving bout
the homeleskip when I see them. It's just stuff like that.
It's a little stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Are there some traits that you picked up specifically from
your mom?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, I'm a holder. I keep everything. I keep everything
where I don't throw stuff away. Bro Like I throw
trash away obviously, but if I get something, I'm keeping it.
It doesn't even matter if I don't know where it
is or if I pick it up what it is,
I probably need it one day. I keep everything. I
keep everything, like even my clothes. Man, she always tells
(10:34):
me that I need to go do a clothing cleanse,
but I keep everything. Bro.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, I'm hoping that you saved this episode so you
can share it with her. Yeah, I think she'll okay.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Good.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And you said this about your hometown of Savannah, Georgia.
I want people to know that is my heart, That's
where I'm from. I will always give back to the
kids who were the people that instilled in you this
past for giving back.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Honestly, growing up, nobody, like we didn't have a lot
of role models in football for real who were able
to be able to touch the community. So honestly, it's
just my passion for giving back, Like bro, just watching
YouTubers do it and seeing a smile to put some
people's face and me feeling the sense of having empathy
for the people in the video and feeling good watching
other people give So it was like, all right, I'm
(11:22):
gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna give back because
you know, you just give back honestly, Like if you've
been blessed to be fruitful like this, you have to
be able to let your fruit like spread and help
other people because there's always people out there that need help. Yeah, Bro,
I just like just give back. Bro. It was like
I don't know, it just feels good, just like helping
(11:42):
other people out. Honestly, like I've been blessed and fortunate
to be in this position that I'm in, It's like
why not help. I can't wait till I am blessed
and fortunate to be able to sign a second contract,
and then they'll go up ten fold, Like how much
I can give back and help people, because like you're
giving back. But it's also like if I don't give back,
that money's gonna go to like taxes or something. So like,
let's take that money that I could be spending on
(12:04):
taxes and help somebody else, help my community put all
that money back. That's how I can put my money
back into my community by doing that.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You know, yeah, and you have You clearly are making
a difference, and it's a really special trait to have.
At the age of twenty three, it wasn't so long
ago you were just a kid in Savannah. If you
could go back now and share some advice with young Warren,
what would you say to them?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Just keep being yourself, man, don't change anything, because if
I had changed something, maybe I wouldn't be here, So
I wouldn't tell them to change anything, all the ups
and downs, all the times I got in trouble. Still like, bro,
it made you who you is. It's your sure book
that was being wrote, so like I don't. I don't
regret anything I did because if I regret it, then
I wouldn't be myself. So just keep doing your thing.
You're gonna make it. That's all I told them, because
(12:52):
I always told myself I was going to the NFL,
even though I was first started playing football. I'm going
to the NFL. My mom was to the NFL. I'm
going to the NFL. I'm going to go to I
told people in eighth grade I was gonna go to IMG,
and I end up going to IMG. So it's like
keeping yourself honestly, don't let anybody do your sparkle.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Keep you shye oh man, that's a good way to
close this out.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
That is beautiful. Appreciate you, Warren.
Speaker 1 (13:14):

little bit about who you are.

Hello, and welcome to Packers POV, a podcast that aims
to shine a light on the human behind the helmet.
I'm your host, Taylor Rogers, and we're here inside historic
Lambeau Field. Today's guest hails from Savannah, Georgia. He was
a two time national champ at UGA. Now as an
NFL rookie, he has double digit tackles and a half
(00:27):
sacked to his name. Introducing Packers d lyman Warren Brinson.
That's perfect, man, we haven't done that yet. I'll meet
you there.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
I have double digit tackles. Holy, it's crazy. I didn't know.
It's kind of fun. I want to get to one
hundred one season, like Christian Wilkins. One hundred is crazy,
right for a d tackle? Oh yeah, Christian Wilkins got
a hundred. I did that. Let's getting to that ball.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
But yeah, yeah, you kicked some more tackles in this
most recent victory against the Bears. And then I saw
you at the very end of that Keyshawn Nixon, I
in t in the end zone, celebrating with everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah I was. I wasn't gonna run on the field
at first, but once I seen Sean Gary run in
the field and I was like, okay, put your you
can run. They let RG go. I can do it.
It's not the model to fit as a rookie. It's
follow what RG does. But in this instinct to celebrate,
like it's a robbery game, so you gotta make it fun.
So when you in the game like that, everybody should
running the field and it's to support. I'm happy they
(01:32):
didn't throw any flags for all of us come out
the sideline. But yeah, no, it was cool.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I even saw offensive players like Christian Watson came in too.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
That's how it should be, though, Like it's a robbery game.
I feel like when you have a robbery just like
we had with Georgia and Georgia Tech, it's supposed to
be like a little bit of a dirty match, like
even like the stuff, the chippy stuff in the beginning night.
That's a robbery game. That's how it's supposed to be.
But in the game off like that, I haven't seen
Keshan get the pick. It's like, man, let's go celebrate.
I was hoping he Lambo leaped. I should have ran
up there, Lambo, but yeah, bro, I just wanted to
(02:02):
run the field, be out there make fun of the
Bears a little bit. I saw that.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I run back to the sideline, that visible celebration for
people that can't see us. How would you describe what
you're doing right now?
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Take your left hand and cup it, put it over
your nose halfway above your mouth. Take your other hand
and flap it up and down like you're doing the
Christian Watson's one piece celebration, and keep flapping it. And
it's like, pu, you stink. That's what I think it means.
I don't know what it really means, but I say, like,
you guys, think, get out of here, shoe fly. I
love that you're just doing it. Also, Yeah, that's what
(02:37):
I think it is.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Like you guys, think, now, how long did you take
to celebrate that victory?
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Just that night? Honestly, hanging out with the guys, busting
with the boys, not long Mas's. It's the NFL. That's
a small victory and a bigger piece of what we
want to do and accomplish, Like we want to win
a championship. So that's gonna be the real celebrations. When
we ultimately win the North, that should be a celebration.
Be the number one in the NFC playoff games, Definitely
celebrate those. Maybe an NFC championship if we get blessed
(03:03):
and get the opportunity and in the Super Bowl, that
should be your bigger celebration. So I mean, it's just
a small victory you celebrated for a very short time.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
One of those people that you won national champions with,
Nazir's Stackhouse, current Packers teammate, and your college roommate back
in Georgia. Have you gotten closer with some of the
Georgia Bulldogs or anyone here that you didn't know yet
when you arrived at Green Bay.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
One thing I respect about this team is there's not
a lot of egos here. Nobody has an ego. Even
when I met Michael Parsons, a lot of guys that
are blessed and fortunate as he is. Sometimes it comes
through the ego and meeting Micah and seeing how humble
over guy he was, and just he fits the culture
of his team. The no egos, and I mean it's
not any specific guys that I've gotten close with. You
(03:44):
can the fact that there are no egos, no people
were inflated senses of self on this team. It makes
us be able to connect as a whole unit, like
we're all thinking, feeling, being as one. We're all working
towards the same exact goal. I've connected with a lot
of guys on the team, and it's really everybody. Everybody
is You're able to talk to everybody on the team.
(04:05):
And that's why I like about this place. It's a
real team. It's not just a bunch of individuals fighting
for trying to do something, trying to get individual goals
and accoltes. The people have their individual goals and accolades,
but people are getting mad pouting about stuff like oh,
I'm not getting the ball. It's like, no, we're working
towards being together. You're doing your piece in order for
us to be successful.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
And you commented on that closeness earlier this season, you said,
this locker room is tighter than a lot of people
would expect. Can you talk about that.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
The one thing that I can see deterior locker rooms.
In my freshman year of Georgia, we weren't really close
at all. We weren't connected at all, and it was
just the fact of egos, inflated sense themselfs, people thinking
they're bigger than what they are, Bigger than the program.
That's what it is about this team. Everybody. We're all
working and striving for the same goals. If people have
their individual goals and agendas for themselves, they're not letting
(04:54):
that be a distraction from what the whole team's goal is.
In the end of the day of making it to
a Super Bowl, I meant by that we are tighter
because there's not people with egos and like egos tear
down the whole kingdom.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
And you guys seem to be having fun too in
the process. Sure, you credited your D line coach at Georgia,
Trace Scott, with helping you develop a love for football
you didn't know you had.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Has your love now for football grown since becoming a packer?
Speaker 2 (05:20):
Oh yeah, not only my D line coach, but my
trainer Tom Bender working with him and just discovering like
there's more of my body that I can get out.
And I'm known Toime for about two or three years,
but I really didn't start getting to work with him
until before I came into camp this past summer and
it was like, bro, I worked with you for six
weeks and this is what you did to me, and
like and he told me, like, you're not even fifty
(05:41):
percent of where you can be at. So it's like
I don't have more of a love. I have a
love of football, but my love is for seeing the
distance I can take my body in order to prepare
and be better at football. That's my love. Watching my
body transform, watch my movement transform, looking at the things
that I can possibly do and the outcomes I can
possibly have, and it's like it's limitless potential, honestly, And
(06:02):
I know he knows who he was talking about. He
trained Calvin Johnson, AJ Green, justin Houston, Meta BK, countless guys,
he had o Cho Senko, like he trained a lot
of people, Like he's a well known trainer. He has
a couple of gold jackets. And that's Julia Jones. Like,
man's insane him telling me that, knowing from what he's
known and what he has seen, it is like, all right,
you got something here, Like what are you gonna do
(06:23):
with it? How far are you gonna let this take you?
Speaker 1 (06:25):
Well, you're starting to show it now on the field.
You've gotten more and more snaps as this season has
gone on, and I'm sure you've realized even since training
camp when you were ripping around on the bike that
this fan base here in Green Bay is special.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
Yeah, it's like a college. How much they support us.
That the fact that our season ticket list takes one
hundred years to even get your season tickets like that's
and the fans in this town built this team. I
learned about the history of the team. So that makes
it even more important to want the ball out because
when the team was needed some money, the town came
back in to help because they wanted to see us scceeed.
So it's like, how can you not pay it back
(07:02):
to a town whose ancestors are the reason that we
are here still to this day. Because some of those people,
whose people whose parents or families helped put money in
this team or are still around a green made to
his day. So I mean that the fans are insane,
Like insane, you can't even go out without getting recognized.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
I believe it.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Now.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Is there an interaction that stands out to you from
Packers fans?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
So far? You know we're football players, by then they
were also regular people too, Like I have an identity
outside of football. Besides that, I'm just number not even
one for agreement Packers. But I was just like going
to Endozi's with some of my boys from the University
of Georgia who came up here to watch the game
is Menas and I'm walking in and it's like warmers
(07:47):
warmer they're coming to I'm like, have a beer, beers
everyone about. But it's really it's the upside in the
downside too, because like understand that people like you don't
get to see a package player all the time, but
(08:07):
it's like you do feel like you're under a microscope,
which we are. We influence people without knowing that we
influence people. So we do have to do the right
things at all time and have integrity eight to be
able to do that. But that'd be the hardest part
living up here is just like I walk into a
restaurant there's people are just staring at you. Yeap. That
is the hardest part. It's just like it's kind of
(08:29):
hard living like a normal type life up here. And
I can only imagine for a guy like Georgian love
you can't You probably can't even go to what's called
hyde if you want it to, you know, right, So
that's that's to be the hardest part. Is you're almost
like a celebrity.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
Now one of your own fans is your mom Monique,
and you guys seem like a truly strong team. You've
said that she helps motivate you.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
She doesn't do it with her words. It's just how
hard she's worked her whole life just to get me here.
And like I've seen the sacrifice she's made in order
to get me to where I'm at, just countless hours
of sacrifice and in order for me just to be
able to be here. And I'm just honestly blessed to
be able to take a little bit of the load off.
Obviously I can't retire her yet, but the goal is
to make sure she doesn't have to work.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And she also helps you with the Warren Brinston Foundation.
She was actually just a.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
Few weeks ago my Turkey drift, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Handing out hundreds of on your behalf while you played football.
Is there anything you'd like to say to her while
you have the mic down.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
She's the queen appreciated. She know her job. She know
the job like that, she got to get that stuff done.
We got to help people, no matter how people get help.
People got to get help. You know, you know, people
didn't have money for almost some people an't getting paid.
So the goal was just to lightning load for somebody
as much as I can. And this is touch as
many people as possible. My mom, she's bigger into giving
(09:51):
back to me. Like I have money missing from my house,
and it's like, yeah, she's found a whole bunch of
one dollar bills. It doesn't matter where those one dollar
bills came from, but she found a whole bunch of
one of those bills. I forgot about it, but that's probably
like six hundred once. But she was like, yeah, I
took all the ones, and I just started giving bout
the homeleskip when I see them. It's just stuff like that.
It's a little stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Are there some traits that you picked up specifically from
your mom?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, I'm a holder. I keep everything. I keep everything
where I don't throw stuff away. Bro Like I throw
trash away obviously, but if I get something, I'm keeping it.
It doesn't even matter if I don't know where it
is or if I pick it up what it is,
I probably need it one day. I keep everything. I
keep everything, like even my clothes. Man, she always tells
(10:34):
me that I need to go do a clothing cleanse,
but I keep everything. Bro.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
Well, I'm hoping that you saved this episode so you
can share it with her. Yeah, I think she'll okay.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Good.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
And you said this about your hometown of Savannah, Georgia.
I want people to know that is my heart, That's
where I'm from. I will always give back to the
kids who were the people that instilled in you this
past for giving back.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Honestly, growing up, nobody, like we didn't have a lot
of role models in football for real who were able
to be able to touch the community. So honestly, it's
just my passion for giving back, Like bro, just watching
YouTubers do it and seeing a smile to put some
people's face and me feeling the sense of having empathy
for the people in the video and feeling good watching
other people give So it was like, all right, I'm
(11:22):
gonna do the same thing. I'm gonna give back because
you know, you just give back honestly, Like if you've
been blessed to be fruitful like this, you have to
be able to let your fruit like spread and help
other people because there's always people out there that need help. Yeah, Bro,
I just like just give back. Bro. It was like
I don't know, it just feels good, just like helping
(11:42):
other people out. Honestly, like I've been blessed and fortunate
to be in this position that I'm in, It's like
why not help. I can't wait till I am blessed
and fortunate to be able to sign a second contract,
and then they'll go up ten fold, Like how much
I can give back and help people, because like you're
giving back. But it's also like if I don't give back,
that money's gonna go to like taxes or something. So like,
let's take that money that I could be spending on
(12:04):
taxes and help somebody else, help my community put all
that money back. That's how I can put my money
back into my community by doing that.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You know, yeah, and you have You clearly are making
a difference, and it's a really special trait to have.
At the age of twenty three, it wasn't so long
ago you were just a kid in Savannah. If you
could go back now and share some advice with young Warren,
what would you say to them?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Just keep being yourself, man, don't change anything, because if
I had changed something, maybe I wouldn't be here, So
I wouldn't tell them to change anything, all the ups
and downs, all the times I got in trouble. Still like, bro,
it made you who you is. It's your sure book
that was being wrote, so like I don't. I don't
regret anything I did because if I regret it, then
I wouldn't be myself. So just keep doing your thing.
You're gonna make it. That's all I told them, because
(12:52):
I always told myself I was going to the NFL,
even though I was first started playing football. I'm going
to the NFL. My mom was to the NFL. I'm
going to the NFL. I'm going to go to I
told people in eighth grade I was gonna go to IMG,
and I end up going to IMG. So it's like
keeping yourself honestly, don't let anybody do your sparkle.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Keep you shye oh man, that's a good way to
close this out.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
