Scouting Report

On the week of practices at the Senior Bowl.

They've been going pretty well. Just having the chance to come out here and compete, it's been great. I think everyone had a pretty good week of practice. We competed and got to know a lot of guys. It's just been a great week overall.

On tough WR matchups this week.

One isn't here right now, but Mohamed Massoqui; he's doing pretty well. Him and I have put on a pretty good show out here everytime we went against each other. Patrick Turner has had a pretty good week as well.

On playing beyond his height.

Basically, it's just playing the ball. You've gotta have ball skills. There are a lot of guys out there that are 6 feet, 6'1" with no absolutely no ball skills at all. So it kind of defeats the purpose. And having the chance to go against Greg Carr for four years in a row, Calvin Johnson, Aaron Kelly, and those big guys every year, it's been good.

On man vs. zone coverage preference.

I prefer man coverage. I've played every zone coverage, but I prefer man.
