24: There’s already some trash talking going on with Hamilton. Who’s the best trash talker on this team?
#27: It’s a toss up between myself and Aaron Hunt. Aaron might not talk too much on the field, but off the field, he’ll eat you up. I’m more the on-the-field guy. Paris Jackson too. He just gets so mad, he gets so angry. Me, I can smile afterwards. Paris just gets all emotional and everything.
24: How do you prepare mentally for big games?
#27: I just imagine myself making big plays. It’s hard not to get up for this game. If you can’t get up for this game, something’s wrong.
24: You got demoted to the practice roster for much of this season. Was that an eye opener?
#27: It was challenging at times, but the true test of character is not when things are going good, but when things are going bad. I took it as an opportunity to grow.
