 Well good to see everybody again and good to have Traylon here this is kind of his day and excited to add him to the football team like we talked about last night and you know we're looking forward to get going here in another hour to get him some teammates but today's Traylon's day so we'll open it up for questions. On the same page and what does it take to do that? I say it takes a lot of just knowing the quarterback actually reaching out to him getting know him as a person as who he is figure out like what he sees and then also getting on the same page as him and you know just establishing that relationship with him will make a lot of things better. Have you had the opportunity to talk with Ryan Tannehill and if so what was that conversation? No sir not yet. What if the last couple hours been like for you and your family this is going to be an incredible moment for you guys. I would say really words can't explain it you know just grateful grateful that the guys believed in me you know and you know I'm gonna do whatever you know they said for me to do and just go keep chasing my dreams. Would it help you become such a deep threat in the passing game? I would just say I'm just knowing exactly what that guy's doing you know studying my film staying up the date on everything just making sure that I'm taking care of my business on my end and also just communicating with the quarterback. What was it for you at Arkansas? You look at what they did you know screens and different things that get you manufactured touches how much did that help really showcase what you bring to the table? I would just say it was just they did a really good job of putting me in different positions to you know get get me the ball and just to let me go out and show what I can really do with the ball in my hand and you know I'm forever grateful for that. Did you have a lot of situations where you had to kind of like make those route adjustments the site adjustments and things on the fly at Arkansas? Oh yes sir that being said just being in the inside always knowing exactly what that nickel that safety is doing and then also out there on the outside knowing what the safety is doing and also what covers the corners in so it just plays a big role in my study of my film. What did you like about lining up in the slot a lot what was that how was that an advantage for you? I just say getting matchups on linebackers and nickels that are a lot smaller than me and I'm just going and playing ball. I would just say honestly coming from a high school that I came from with Coach Henry he's the same way as it's about business you know finishing and effort is the main things and you know that plays a big role in winning and you know that's what you know coming from a winning organization knowing how to finish knowing how to give effort when it's due and I'm just being that team player plays a big role. What would you like about doing that? I would say the last time I've been was in November but it's you know it's just a hobby that I like doing being with my friends and family and just having a good time. Is there a force? Season? No sir. Or just whenever they're running wild huh? Whenever they're running. I would I wouldn't mind we talked about it when you know we had a great visit and admittedly I think this was the thing that John and I really was impressed about is that it wasn't very good admittedly in Indianapolis just the interaction it's tough it's 18 minutes and you know he's scrambling and there wasn't much there he came back and he's like I'm really glad I got an opportunity to do this again to spend a day at this this organization to try to get to for you guys to get to know who I am and and do more than an 18 minute process or interview so that was really cool and that that was something that we have talked about you know in the past and through the draft process. What was it about that's amazing? Well I think first he admitted to both John and I he's like yeah it didn't go very well and I was kind of glad and that he did be referenced as his high school coach and and how he did hold him accountable and he wanted that and he you know you you question and you nitpick every single play you know I mean when you watch 600 or 700 snaps of a player there's gonna be plenty of bad ones like we talk about every year every game there's there's the good the bad and the things that are gonna get you beat and you know your reference okay you didn't you know go as hard on the backside of this block and he's like you're right I didn't and this is why or this is what our offense and you know when you can own up to that that's a tough thing to do when there's people are attacking you and every single play a nitpick and so it was a very very good visit it was a great day it was one of those that that went quickly and I know that that Traylon felt the same way about it. I think that the way he expressed his appreciation for a second opportunity to come in and visit with Mike and I and get to know us a little bit better spend more time you know he I think he relished that opportunity to have a second chance and he said that he goes I understand in this league a lot of times you don't get second chances and I'm I put that at the forefront when I knew I was coming to visit with you guys that I wanted to make the most of this opportunity show you guys are real me and and he did that honestly just being in that room you know like he said 18 minutes getting questions here questions there is not not being you know ready for it honestly not being prepared for it and then also you know that kind of put me in the state to where you know I wasn't myself and then being able to come back you know I honored that you know second chance and you know I just wanted to show him like who I really am and not that person are there are there NFL players to Traylon that you kind of pattern your game after or that you think you compare to honestly you know I've watched I watch every you know wide receiver I mean take everything from them to help my game but I really you know make myself after myself just because you know I feel like without being myself I wouldn't be in this position and so I've given it to God in my faith and you know just been myself has you know blessed me with this opportunity he would always just tell me to go my go about my business like a grown man even when I was seven years old you know go to school own up to the bad grades that I made and you know come home with the grades don't hide them and you know just things like the little things like that just you know you know made a big impact on my life and you know I'm forever grateful for it I'm kind of fascinated by the war hunting did you know that one of your one of your new teammates a budget free has done that that's you by any chance know that about him and might you chat about that with him no sir but I will definitely be chatting with him about it honestly yeah it's just my dogs couple friends and yeah big time just because you know a lot of people was not gonna go out there and test a wild boar you know they can hurt you but at the same time that's you know part of my game on the field just being fearless and I'm just selling out for the team I would say it really has got pretty dangerous for me I would just say we've had one just break loose and we all jumped on trees just to get away from it I mean maybe some some grocery store coupons they can just go to the back aisle and get bacon and sausage probably a little easier to just kind of get the get it that way man as opposed to dogs and knives you know that was made about your 455 40 but you play with speed you look at Alabama game you ran away from everybody what do you make of just like transfer and track speed to football speed like bouncing back before the playing speed I just say you know I just go out there and just play ball you know I didn't let that 455 affect me at one bit because I knew exactly who I am and what I can do on the football field so I didn't let you know the media none of that get to me I just go out there and play ball for the team and you know for my family that's it when you start practicing whether that's rookie mini camp and then on into the off-season program what's gonna be your focus I'm just playing my role on the football team being able to you know get on special teams make an impact any way that I can and I'm just you know being positive being that player that you know maybe a vet come up to and ask for advice you know you never know and just being that team player like your effort and finish yeah as an effort and finish kind of guy when you see him on film yeah and then we've talked and there and then we have to continue to to preach that you know there there's multiple you know ways that we can improve that we felt like that when we when they did ask him to block and he was a willing participant you know obviously everything with the ball in his hands speaks for itself you know we just are really trying to put a premium on Howard play without the football in our hands whether that's Derek whether that's our wide receivers everybody because that's just what we feel like is is gonna be necessary for offense to be as efficient as it possibly can so you know there's a lot of ways for for him to do that and I'm confident that he will and you know I feel like he's gonna be coachable and I know that he's excited I'm Rob's excited to work with him yesterday that you discovered immediately that this was a business like atmosphere what were some of the things that stood out to me to have that quick observation I was just say just how you know the environment when I first came with my second chance coming in here you know just seeing how you know everything is organized seeing how you know the guys communicate and then also you can tell on the field when you're watching film and watching games at home you know everybody's playing as a unit and like you said you see everybody out there blocking their ass off you see everybody selling out for you know one another even though they don't have the ball and you know that's how businesses ran everybody does their one job and the business succeed from any of the wider receivers since getting drafted yes sir I actually talked to Robert Woods today but it was positive you know he was just telling me to you know he's happy for me enjoy the process and you know he's ready to work with me know about what you know about his game and how much could that benefit you having better like that show you the way I really don't know too much about his game but as you can see you know you can tell that he's went about his business the correct way you know every you know obstacle that he's you know had he's conquered it and you know I just know that he's a really good player just being myself and you know not trying to be nobody else you know attacking every day like I'm supposed to and the effort and finish being that guy that's gonna you know do the extra effort and extra finish to succeed last 24 hours obviously been crazy what's next up what's tomorrow you know just go back and thank all my family you know sit down with them tell them you know how happy I am and here I happy they are and I'm just telling me that the process is it isn't over and you know you know just keep being me yes sir we actually had I was a waterboy for three guys Jerry's right Greg Charles and Chris Greg they all played in the NFL and just send those guys and want to be you know want to want to be that next guy that make it to the NFL and have an impact on this town like they did just pushed me and just made me work even harder
