hard learning mental progress work
I think I've made a lot of progress. But I think I have a lot to work on in the mental part of the game. I need to just keep learning every day. I'm really hard on myself to be the best.
career chance knew mentality opportunity picked sack score thankful
I was just thankful for the opportunity that the sack by Greg created. I knew once I picked up the ball, I was going to score and that's the mentality you need to have. I am just thankful for the chance to score my first career touchdown.

Mentally it just got worse, ... And physically, you're just running up and down the floor and it seemed like everything just went their way. Again, I know we'll recover from this.

behind fall guys hit mean rally seems spot tough trying
Guys are always trying to rally each other when we fall behind or hit a tough spot in a game. It just seems to mean more when Vince does it because he always delivers.

I didn't get my name called though. It will be a great feeling to hear my name announced, but I enjoy just running out when my name is not called.
cause focused helping locker tension totally
I don't get too focused on what (the coaches) are thinking, because if I do that, I can't focus on what I'm doing. If you do, when you're out on the field, you think about it.
