It was my first time actually hearing Deion talk. I was very excited.

It's a godfather relationship. He's been through the trials and tribulations.

I've been getting a little down knowing that teams weren't kicking the ball to me. It was taking some of the fun out of it.

I just want to be a key player. Whenever I'm called on, I just want to make the play at the right time. I want to step up and do my best. I would like to start, but I'm not concentrating on being a starter.

Not starting wouldn't be a disappointment, because I know once I get a chance to get in there, I'm going to make the best of it. It doesn't take as many plays as you might think to have an impact.

We're still struggling. I have to do what's best for my family. Our house is still damaged from the hurricane. My roof caved in. I have to take this opportunity for my family.
