>> carson, do you have the playbook yet and if you don't, when you get it how long is it going to take you before you start diving in and learning it all? >> well, i not sure exactly when i am getting it. through this process i made a couple jokes to some people i'm kind of going crazy i have no playbook. i'm watching film and i don't even know what to exactly watch for and i'm not reading defenses quieter the same but i don't have play books so i'm fired up to get a playbook and to dive right in. >> carson, have you been to philadelphia before and can you walk us through your series of events since you touched down in philadelphia, what have you done since you've been here? >> yeah. i haven't been here until my visit just one or two weeks ago and that was real brief. obviously it was 24 hours and didn't really get a chance to experience a lot other than just being at the facility and everything. so i'm excited. i'm excited to kind of see what the city has to offer, see what this place is all

about. since i touched down i got a chance like i mentioned earlier to really just kind of see everybody again, you know be and reunite and just express how excited we both were to do this thing and to get to work. >> carsoning are you becoming a two handed monster. >> i did have a philly cheesesteak, yes. working on it. it's a funny statement. for those of you that don't know that was something from the jon gruden show. working on ball security and everything. i think it's gotten a lot better. >> carson, how familiar are you with the personnel on this roster right now and has any of the players or anybody reached out to you since you were drafted? >> yeah, you know, i'm familiar a little bit. i'm obviously -- i'm going to get a lot more familiar real quick here. zach ertz textd me yesterday. seems like a great dude. i'm excited to meet him and a lot of tweets from other guys that i think i missed a lot of them, too, but i'm excited to

get to know everybody and to get to work with these guys and it sounds like everyone talks highly of the group of guys in that locker room and i'm excited for it. >> carson, doug peterson said that you bleed winning. where does that come from, that competitive spirit with that and the work ethic, where did you get that from? >> i think first and foremost it's how i'm wired. you know, if i'm not the best at something it kind of ticks me off and i want to work my tail off to be the best. it's also my upbringing, my parents older brother pushed me. i was competitive with him. i just hate losing. it's how i'm wired and hopefully i can bring there to philadelphia. >> carson, i'd imagine the last four days just getting off the plane on tuesday and then everything that they had going on in chicago leading into last night, is it the fulfillment of a dream? like can you describe what those four days were like? >> yeah, being in chicago was really fun. you know, it was a great time to -- i got to interact with

local kids there, play 60 and then went to a middle school. those are awesome. got to be around some of the other top prospects in the draft and that was really coo cool.
