one of PFF's favorite players in the nation that is Minnesota offensive tackle. Ariante Ursary,

one of the best offensive linemen in college football. Arianta. Ariane

Errei one of the best offensive linemen in college football. Ariante thanks so much for taking time out man.

Man I appreciate you for having me man.

Of course.

So the first question I love asking every athlete I talked to is there's a moment in my life where I knew I was not good enough to play college football or NFL or even high school football honestly.

What was the moment in your life though we were like I am mauling people out here right now? I can make a career in college possible and maybe an NFL career possible as well.

For me, I'm like from high school right? Yeah or just in the front just in general if you're just like killing kids when you're like four years old, man, honestly, at what point you're like, well, I'm better than everyone right now?

Well, in high school, I just started playing into my junior year.

So once I took that jump from junior to senior and I took the

weight room more serious I took my hydration I took my nutrition and stuff like

that the weight room and my coaches taking the coaching and I really just applying it on the field

I think I've seen a massive jump like like even with my competition there you know I heard

stuff from like even the high school coaches like I mean because I used to

wear 63 in high school so they used to be like number 63 man who was that if they

didn't know my name they do my number so hey I think I did something right I you did too. I heard a story to her PJ Fleck saw you as blue shorts

He's like whoever blue shorts says we got to offer that kid right now because he is mauling guys out here so I love that man you mentioned before you

I mean obviously most of your life you spent playing basketball really didn't play football

and like into your junior high school how did you really get involved in football

and how was the basketball background kind of helped you

as an offense tackle now? I got into football was from my uncle He was like the main corporate. He was the one that was actually playing
