asked good life nobody talking time
I had a good time talking to those coaches. I didn't want to be nobody else. I just wanted to be myself. They asked me my life story, and I told them.
hardest hit
That was the hardest I've been hit in my life.
bad decision fast
You just have to get a feel for it. If he (kicks) a long ball, you're all right. But you got to make the decision fast and try not to make a bad one.
seven took
When I first got here, I took something like seven tests.
coming contact guy hit left trying
Football's a contact sport, and you're always going to get hit. But if I see a guy coming on and trying to hit me in my left shoulder, I'll try to hit him with my right. Other than that, I'm just going to play football.
continue finish fun hard positive season stay successful time work
It's been rough, man. The only thing I can do is try to stay positive and work hard. I know I really didn't have a successful season here, but I had a lot of fun in the time that I've been here. (I'm) just going to continue to work hard and try to finish out the season strong.
coach college hard reason skin
They coach hard and tough. You've got to be on time. You've got to have skin like a duck's back. It's a little harsher than college football. But I've come this far. There's no reason to stop.

They usually pick up a running back every year as part of the draft.

I get to stay in the South and Atlanta is awesome. I will give them everything I have.

I know it's going to be a stressful (time).
blocking catch focused good hands stay work
I really need to work on my blocking skills. Other than that, I feel pretty good. I think I see things well and have good hands to catch the ball. I just want to stay focused on what I'm doing here.
asking people
I can still feel it. People are still asking us about that game. That showed we could play in the SEC.

I'm going to come in and do whatever it takes to help the team win. Wherever I go, I know it's going to be meant for me to go there.
