00:00 >> I say just being away from a locker room, that brotherhood feeling and

00:05 just understanding that I made a mistake and I did my time.

00:08 And just being back around a great team and a great culture of guys and

00:12 just finally getting that locker room environment back into my heart.

00:15 It feels real good.

00:16 >> Can you explain why the league initially this offseason allowed certain

00:20 guys to come back that had similar transgressions and

00:29 I think a lot of people only did certain things, so

00:33 So I think that's why a lot of guys were able to come back.

00:51 Sundays, I use it like a game day, so I do cardio and things like that.

00:55 I take Tuesdays off as if I was still playing.

00:57 So I kinda still stay with the NFL schedule and just continue to work and

01:01 just prepare for these moments.
