ball coming corners creative moves normally post receiver seven tight tried ways wide
My coach, he tried to find different ways to get me the ball ? options, coming up with creative plays. But they were normally the seven routes, the post corners and the digs, and when you got a tight end ? who can make moves like a wide receiver ? when there is a linebacker on you, that's kind of a mismatch.
coming creative moves tight tried ways wide
He tried to find different ways to get me the ball. He was always coming up with creative plays. When you've got a tight end who can make moves like a wide receiver, where there's a linebacker on you, that's a mismatch.
bowl coming conference good guy guys heath miller played proud rookie sit super watch work
I sit back and watch guys like Heath Miller coming in as a rookie and doing things like he has done, going to the Super Bowl and making plays. That is something to be proud about, a guy who played in the same conference as you. I know I can do it because I have a good work ethic.

They all speak highly of me. They all say they would love to have me, but you never know.
ball breed catch catching extra good guy guys labeled tight
I feel good about being labeled the new breed of tight end. That's what it is, when you got a guy who can do more than catch the ball, to get extra yardage after catching the ball and make guys miss.
ready
I feel like I'm ready. I'm ready to go out there right now.

It's going to be a strong challenge, but I think we have the talent to beat anybody. We lost to them last year, and this is about getting back at 'em.

It's just been exciting. It's just a great feeling being able to accomplish some of the things I've been able to accomplish.
last
We're better than last year; we're way better.
career college far gates good throughout watched
Antonio Gates is a good player. He's someone I have watched throughout my college career and I like the way he plays. But there are some things when I look at the guy, he does a little better than myself. And (there are) things I do better than him as far as speed, things like that.
meeting seems
Just from being around them and meeting with them, it seems as if they would take me.
hard leverage stop takes
Jeremy's real aggressive. He doesn't stop going. You have to get leverage on him first. If he takes off before you it's hard to get him.
hear worried
I hear different things. I could be the No. 2 pick, No. 4, No. 6, No. 8. I'm not worried about that.
