As I was turning around to come back. My engine shut off and it ran out of gas. |
As you can see, once Michael gets into a groove his passing gets better. And that's our job as receivers, to start making catches and make him feel confident. |
But they didn't have enough rope to pull me up. So they called the Jet Ski people and waited with me until they came and got me. |
Derrick definitely affected all of us. The first couple days of practice, when he didn't know anybody, he wanted to be the first to go into a drill. He wanted to prove from day one he was the best. He made me better. |
I couldn't see any shore, any land. |
I didn't really look for them. I knew that once I saw the jellyfish, that anything goes. |
I didn't really put any extra pressure on myself because Derrick wasn't there. We've got so many good receivers, guys who can get open, that there's no need to do that. |
I think in the end our fans will take over. Our fans are just so loud and crazy. It would definitely be a sight to see our fans right there with them tomahawking. |
I'm not the type of guy that needs to be in the spotlight and sometimes I used it as motivation. Those guys are great and I'd like to do what they do. I just felt that, when I get my chance, I'd be able to do some things that they do. |
It brings a whole new excitement going to somebody else's field and just taking it over and making it your own. |
It kind of brought me back to reality. To let me know I can do it. I knew I could do it before, but you kind of need to do it to reassure yourself. |
Nobody feels any seniority, nobody feels like they're better than anybody else or anything like that. We're a team. A family. And we learn from one another and help each other out. |
Once Mike got comfortable he started hitting the deep passes, and we started picking them apart. It was definitely a big confidence thing. People saw what we can do. |
Once you hit a couple big passes, they tune themselves out. They weren't talking as much; that helps. |
People can't recognize my face unless they are super diehard like they do with Derrick or Justin. If I say I'm No. 3, then people know who I am. |
