“Of course.  Iron sharpens iron. We’re all going to make each other better.”

“I get that a lot on Twitter, so I stay off Twitter right now.”

“The time he’s here [coach Gibson and I] have a good bond.”

“I belong here. I don’t belong anywhere else.”

“Having coach Gibson as our defensive coach I feel like we’ll get better all year, one step at a time.”

“Corey [Coley] is like my best friend. He’s a real good role model. I look up to him a lot as a player and a person.”

“Corey has taught me so much. I’m so comfortable beside him.  With me playing nickel and him playing corner we’ll be beside each other. Him being that big brother figure will help me on the field.”

“He kept telling me he wanted to come.  I had my mind made up I was coming back.... I was begging him to come with me.”
