Q: Have you changed anything when you’re training and coming off the rookie season and they say once you get through that rookie season it’s an eye opener coming from the college game. Did you change anything to prepare you for your next season?
A: I wouldn’t say I’ve changed anything. More of just keep on getting better at some things and just working harder. That’s the main thing, you know, just help our team win.

Q: What’s an example of something you felt you were lacking last year that you want to work on this year?
A: Just improving my pass rush and on my run game, too, just to help us win, put us in a better situation.

Q: In your mind, does training camp start today when the pads come on?
A: In shorts, you can’t do too much, but today we’ll go out there and have a little bit of fun and a little bit of contact.

Q: The first few days, you know the receivers and especially some of the running backs kind of have their fun and you know they’re running and feeling free. Do you store that in the back of your head and say let’s see what happens today?
A: Oh yeah, for sure, I’m always talking junk to them, in the locker room, on the field. So like you said, I’m excited. I’m excited.

Q: What is the balance between it’s pads, but it’s also your teammates?
A: Just keeping everybody safe and at the end of the day, we’re all on the same team this season. So yeah, just keep everybody safe.

Q: Is it safe to say you look forward to today more than the last few days?
A: Oh for sure, I’m excited and I’m ready to go right now

Q: How’s Dexter (Lawrence II) coming along?
A: He’s coming along very well. I knew Dex (Dexter Lawrence II) for a little bit, because we were recruiting him at North Carolina State. So he’s coming along, he’s going to be good for our defense and he’s going to help us win some games.

Q: Is there one guy on defense that you really look forward to playing with?
A: To be honest, everybody from the back end to the front end. From Pepp (Jabrill Peppers) being the safety coming in to AB (Antione Bethea) to Rabbit (Janoris Jenkins). Everybody, I’m excited for everybody.

Q: Did you guys give Antione (Bethea) any stuff knowing today was his birthday?
A: I just found out it was his birthday; he was actually taking a little nap, so I was like dang I didn’t know it was his birthday!

Q: Do you know how old he is?
A: Ahh man, he’s been in the league for a little minute. I’m going to say he’s like 32? 33? 34? wait no 5? Yeah he’s still young though. He’s still got it in him.

Q: He played almost the most snaps in the league last year at age 34 obviously.
A: That’s awesome, he’s still got it too. I can see it out there on the field.

Q: Can you tell?
A: Oh yeah, out on the field, for sure. Yeah, he’s still got it.
