Take a look around the gym. We are all here playing basketball together. Otherwise, we would be standing on some corner.

The wind was really strong all day. It was very make-able.

I had to go out there and leave it all on the field. It has been (an intense) competition. There are a lot of guys who are hungry here, including myself. I'm sure it (was) a tough decision on the coaches.

You try to tell people you don't think about it too much, but it was definitely like take a step back and breathe deep, ... There was a battle at the slot position going on and the coaches had a tough decision to make. Fortunately they have enough belief in me that I did well enough that they could use me again. I've got to make sure I go out there and continue to do my job and make sure that they're happy that they went in the decision they did.

Every time you go out there it's an audition,

This is my job so I'm always concerned. I just wanted to go out there and give myself the best chance to make sure I still had a job.

Eric and Lee are going to draw a lot of double teams, so we've got to be able to throw to somebody else, ... As a slot receiver, I've got to get open. But the biggest thing is I've got to catch the ball.
