Scouting Report

On why he wasn't practicing today.

I went down for a little post route to make the catch but I bumped my head. I held onto the ball, I got up running and even played probably the next ten minutes. But they just wanted to keep me out today as a precautionary. They said I wasn't "tracking right" or something. But I'm fine. But I'll be playing on Saturday.

On coming from a smaller school and playing against division 1A this week.

The competition isn't a shock or anything like that. You know, I've played against good guys before...people that have gone on to play in the league. Whether they'd be on my team or on somebody else's team. More than anything, the biggest adjustment this week is probably the same a lot of people have had, and that's not having played a practice in a month or two months for me. Now that I'm here, it's business as usual.

On teams that have shown an expressed interest this week.

There have [been], but the way I've learned about this thing is, so much changes from day to day with what happens in the meeting room, what happens with the combine, I try not to read too much into it and just put my best foot forward with everybody and show them that I'm a quality player and person that they're gonna want on their team.

On the rumored extra interest from the Baltimore Ravens.

They came to about four or five of my practices at Cal Poly.
