Defenses usually are trying to take away the guys who are getting a lot of catches earlier in the season.
In the NFL, there's never really that moment where you're like, Hey, I made the team. Or: Hey, you made the practice squad. You just kind of show up the next day and go to work. Nobody really says anything. You just kind of go to work.
It's frustrating when you don't feel like you help the team like you should, but at the end of the day there's going to be ups and downs and it's how you react.
I don't care if people think I'm one of the best receivers or one of the worst receivers. I don't really care.
Just because you're drafted, No. 1, doesn't mean you're going to make a team and, No. 2, it doesn't mean you're going to be around a long time. Especially at receiver, where there are only five and the last two have to play a lot of special teams or they're gone.
In high school I just loved to compete and play sports. I didn't have a sport that I was going to say, 'Hey, I'm going to play this at the next level.' Whatever my best opportunity was was what I was going to do.
It doesn't matter what happened in the season or what happened the last play, there's always an opportunity to make the next play.
It doesn't matter what play is called, you have to run that play and you have to be successful on it. It just comes down to execution, all 11 players doing the right thing.
I had a coach when I was getting recruited say maybe you should play basketball at a Division III level, because you're not good enough to play football in college.
I don't think it's much different at this level. It just feels like playing high school football, college football. It's the same games, the same routes.
Being able to put the film out there that I did and prove that I can be a starter in this league, it's put me in a good situation.
