Went through all that, went to a few schools, checked a few schools out, came here to talk to Coach Key, and he and I made a few agreements and I loved the way he presented himself and I loved the way he was real with me."

"No, sir. I did not. No, sir."

3. On if there were any surprises when he got here...

Like, they've, like, they've been like I've seen what they've shown me before like and it's been consistent."

6. On how he feels like he is progressing towards his goals...

"Right now, in this camp, I've been taking it day by day just trying to push myself to the highest peak. I've just been trying to push myself. When it comes to the NFL goal, That's the standard, but I just want to continue to focus on the main goal and taking it day by day."
