How do you feel you have progressed from your freshman to your sophomore year?
I feel I progressed very well this year. I feel like I am more mature even though I played a lot last year.
What does working after practice with coach Dwayne Dixon do for your skills as a receiver?
Working with him is a lot of hard work, but he gets you prepared for anything coming at you.
You are one of the more vocal players on the field. Who do you style your game after in the National Football League?
I style myself after Terrell Owens and Calvin Johnson. (T.O.) doesn't let any corner get their hands on him and that's what I try to do. He talks a lot of trash and I like that, getting in another corner's head.
How does talking trash help you in a competitive battle with a cornerback?
It can make him forget about his play and try to hurt me. It can get him off topic and away from what his coach is telling him.
What is the potential of this group of wide receivers with so many returning next season?
We are going to develop more into next year. We have a lot of receivers coming back so it looks good.
