00:0014 practices you guys have had?

00:02So I'll say the first thing that's been good is I've just been gaining more

00:05experience on the edge.

00:06I played it in high school, but as we know, high school is just go see ball,

00:10go get ball.

00:11So being here with the 14, 15 days that we get, I've been able to really

00:17hound down on my techniques, focus more on backfield sets, and

00:21just learn football overall.

00:23How's your progress going at the new position?

00:26You mentioned it right there, but do you feel more comfortable now after 14 breaks?
