What they’re saying

“I want to be where God wants me to be ... For me, being back in Jacksonville, my mom lives out there. You know, obviously, my lady is out there. You know, there are a lot of pros to being out there. And so, for me, it's just about being in the right spot. Ultimately, that's the No. 1 most important thing, being in the right spot.”

“I take pride in being able to do what I did last year in any defense. Obviously, (new coaches) came in and they understood that I have a skill set. And, you know, as the weeks progressed, they really started allowing me to utilize that skill set more and more and play at the level that I'm playing. So it's always great whenever a defensive coordinator believes in you.”
