(On feelings toward the end of preseason/training camp) "I feel like it was a great camp for me, and for the team as well. Just being able to grow as a player, I feel like I've been able to show my versatility being able to play Mike, Will and Sam in all of these games and practices, so I feel like I've done everything I could. Just going out there and trying to make plays. It's just fun to go out there and play ball again."

(On mental shift jumping between Mike, Will and Sam) "The biggest mental shift is just knowing which one I'm playing. There could be one play where I'm Mike, and then the next play I'm at Sam, and the next play I'm at Will. Just being able to know which one I'm in is the hardest part, but the moment I know, then my mind clicks. Then I know what to look for, know my keys, and I just go out there and play."

(On biggest areas of growth) "Mentally. I feel like it started throughout last season. Last season I was just hurt. I didn't make the 53, which was my own doing. Personally, I just didn't feel like I played well enough. Then throughout the regular season I didn't get activated. On the practice squad I just got to learn, got to improve, so I was always ready to be up if my name was ever called, and I just looked to improve. So right when the season ends, just boom, hit the ground running, it's work. Just keeping my
trust in God. I've been in the book way more, my playbook, by Bible, just trying to get down to it, get down to the mental game."

(On approach the next few days/making the roster) "I can't go back in time and change anything I've done. I feel like I've had a good camp. I feel like I've done everything I needed to do. So just prayer, that's what I'm going to do, just pray. Give it to God and hope for the best."

(On handling the next few days) "You have the mindset that you're up. So you just have to be ready as a football player for any opportunity. I feel like you've got to be positive during this time as a football player in this league."

(On being able to play in all three spots) "I feel like it's helped me learn the defense way more. I feel like I know the defense way better than last year. Playing Will, I know what's going on on this side of the field, and Sam, I know exactly what's going on on that side of the field, and Mike, I'm more in tune with the fronts and with coverages and all that. So being able to play all three has really made me a smarter football player and a better football player."
