Welcome into the lounge presented by Draft Kings.

I'm Ryan Mink, here with Garrett Downing, and we are thrilled to sit down with tight-end

Isaiah likely, Big Zay, as he's referred to around these parts.

So I'm going to ask you, I mean, you look back, since it's Lamar's birthday, right?

Let's start talking about Lamar Highlands, right? And you two are linked on some of his best highlights

of the year. The Cincinnati stiff arm touchdown, and then the Christmas touchdown,

the kind of the fadeaway touchdown. What is it about you two in that connection? And do you

have some more thrilling highlights like that in store for the playoffs?

I mean, you know, just watching Lamar, man, he's just special.

So, I mean, like, we're always taught, you know, plays never over until 8's on the ground.

And it's very frequent when he's on the ground, you know, once one play breaks down.

Yeah. So it's always, you know, after the first play isn't going, you see A scrambling, trying to find somebody, then it's just in your mind. It's like backyard little kid rules. Like, just get open. That's just something he preachers. So I just try to, you know, always catch his attention, whether I'm triple covering, I'm throwing my hand or if I'm trying to work with him and trying to get something going. I mean, like, he always makes a great decision, you know, trusts everybody on the offense. So it's just always, you know, trying to get on that tandem with him.

I'll give you credit, though. His eyes do seem to find yours. And that backyard connection,

I mean, it's like what we've seen between he and Mark over the years, right? They very much have

that connection, too. How do you gain that kind of chemistry with your quarterback?

Really, I mean, something my rookie I was preaching was just, you know, watching Mark do it.

I mean, like you said, like him and Mark's relationship is special.

So I understand, you know, how I am as a route runner, as a, you know, in the passing game was a reason like the Ravens took a chance on me,

but understanding, you know, why Mark was an all pro, why he makes so many spectacular plays

with Elle is like something I want to, you know, pick his brain about a little bit, you know,

just getting into the offense. So just understand, you know, what Mark does in the film room,

what he sees from his perspective, zone, man, everything. And then really just hearing it from L, you know, obviously getting cut out a little bit
