“I'm the type of person, you know, I don't throw nobody under the bus for nothing.”
“My whole time at Dunbar, I've had great players around me. My teammates, my coaches.”
“I've seen a couple mock drafts that have me going to the Baltimore Ravens. And if it happens like that, it'll be a blessing. But I'd like to go anywhere that calls my name.”
“Goals after football would consist of continuing to build my family.”
“A lot of people say small guys can't get it done. But at the end of the day, it depends on how big your heart is.”
“I've never been a captain of a team. But people always listen just because of my work ethic.”
“I believe that just because of my size people are always saying, 'You can't do this, you can't do that.'”
“I don't really care where I'm at on the field. I just want the ball and a little bit of space and let me create and I'm going from there.”
“I am a receiver, I am an athlete, at the end of the day. So, I can play any position that the coaches draw up for me and put me in the best position to make plays.”
“I can block, I can catch and I can run. It's about being in the right spot at the right time.”
“I'm kind of hard on myself.”
“I've tried to learn what everybody is doing, not just my one position. If you know the whole scheme, it's easier.”
“All I can do is come in and work hard and hope my number is called.”
“There's always going to be a chip on my shoulder.”
“The league is changing. There are a lot more small receivers now. I could see myself maybe in a slot like Wes Welker.”
“I look at it this way: If the defender gets the chance they'll lay it on you. So for the most part I just try to go out there and bring it to them like they would try to do to me.”
“I just hope the coaches give me an opportunity to show who I am deep inside.”
“Speed is always good, speed always kills. That's the type of offenses I've been in anyway. That's a good thing.”
“I'm cool with it, running back, receiver, punt returner, it really doesn't make a difference to me.”
“I kinda motivate myself and keep me on my toes.”
