coming guy learned replace somebody sure work
The thing I've learned is that there's always somebody coming to replace you. You've got to work every day to make sure you're not that guy getting replaced.
best coach college experience great hard junior worked
My coach told me that the best thing to do was to go to junior college. It's just been a great experience for me. I've worked hard to get where I'm at. I'm just blessed.
best individual workouts
But it's more than just the 40. It was the individual workouts too, the positional drills. I feel like I was the best at those too.
bowl gotten wish worry
I wish I would have gotten it before Christmas, but it's not that big a deal. I'll worry about it after the bowl game.
ball bunch position pressure therefore time
We had a bunch of blitzing up front, which put a lot of pressure on the quarterback. He didn't have too much time to get the ball off. So therefore we were in a position to make a play on the ball.
sure
He's been there. He's making sure we don't go into this thing blind.
good
I did good, real good through the drills. I don't have a preference, as long as I get drafted.
closer last realize
Obviously, the closer you get to that moment, the more you start to realize 'this is the last year of my contract.'
deodorant home
In Cincy, we're told how much Gatorade we could take home. In Houston, we get what we request. You get soap and deodorant at your request. You don't have a roommate on road trips.
period until wait
It's a long period to wait until the draft. But you've got to kind of wait around and do what you've been doing.
best player possibly
I want my team to win and to be the best player I can possibly be.
later sign time
Any time you sign a big contract, you get in those later years, the expectations are high to play at a high level.
business controls houston lives money owner run
The first thing about Houston is it's an organization run from a different perspective. In Cincy, the team lives off money it earns from football. Houston's owner has other business interests, and he controls the money.
A lot of times, I go and face the top receiver, and that's a task... it comes with the territory, and I never back down from that challenge.
