00:00 >> How'd you have to catch him?

00:02 >> I was really happy.

00:04 I was really happy to be out there.

00:06 Really happy everything turned out the way it did.

00:11 Just grateful, really thankful.

00:13 But my team really trusted in me and put me back out there for

00:17 the game in the season.

00:18 And just grateful that- >> You were talking about the catch itself.

00:24 >> It was a hard one.

00:26 >> You had the most difficult, but- >> Yeah, I had a scene.

00:28 >> Most exciting for you.

00:30 >> Yeah, I had a scene.

00:30 I just try to run as hard as I can, make a move.

00:33 I seen it was in man, so when I'm seeing a man cut him,

00:36 I'm thinking, what a touchdown.

00:38 That's just me, that's all I'm thinking.

00:42 And I'm running for my teammates too, so I'm trying to move it up.

00:45 >> How long has it been since you felt like you were close to 100%?

00:50 You come back close to 100% this year?

00:53 >> Well, I started feeling 100% probably the start of fall camp.

00:58 The whole spring I was overweight.

01:01 I was like 230 in the spring.

01:04 Now I'm like back to 210, 217.

01:07 But it's all muscle, so right now I'm feeling great.

01:11 Amazing, I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life.

01:15 >> Even with the year off, does it feel like now you've had a chance to get back

01:19 on the field and that connection with your own brand?

01:22 It seemed like it didn't go anywhere.

01:23 Now, can you speak to the connection and being able to get back into that group?

01:26 >> Yeah, I mean, me and BA, it took some time in the spring,

01:30 cuz you gotta be patient with me.

01:33 I was getting my legs underneath myself, really trying to get myself in shape,

01:38 football shape wise.

01:40 And I feel like through all the practice, really spring and

01:44 fall camp really just worked it out.

01:46 And that's how it was my first year when I came straight out of high school.

01:51 Fall camp wise, that got me in the rotation,

01:54 it got me in the, it got me feeling it out with me.
