Johnathan Joseph Quotations

Numerous things that go on such as the way Houston interacts with my family; we're treated in a first-class way. They helped us when my wife lost our baby daughter in a miscarriage. They help with anything you ask of them because they are a very caring organization with positive attitudes about its players.

Obviously I read the newspaper sometimes, or I look on the Internet. When you go out in public, you hear things, and people ask you questions, and that's part of the game.

Obviously, the closer you get to that moment, the more you start to realize 'this is the last year of my contract.'

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.

I did good, real good through the drills. I don't have a preference, as long as I get drafted.

He's been there. He's making sure we don't go into this thing blind.

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.

I think I made him a lot better as well.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I want my team to win and to be the best player I can possibly be.

They were surprised because I didn't play my sophomore year and I got hurt. When I came back my junior season, my name was not out there.

Any time you sign a big contract, you get in those later years, the expectations are high to play at a high level.

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.

If you're on the top guy, you're going to get some balls thrown your way.

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.

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.
