Top Quotes | Chargers Day 3 Media Availability

On being selected by the Chargers and joining a team that already features two of his collegiate teammates, Quentin Johnston and Derius Davis:

“There was a lot of excitement. Throughout this process, I feel like I built a lot of good relationships with all of the coaches on the coaching staff and really built up and connected with them in that way. Obviously, you see Q and D.D. go earlier, and there was a lot of excitement to be a part of this franchise, to go out and be in L.A. and be with this group people.”

On his contact with the Chargers during the Draft process:

“There was good communication, whether it was meetings in-person, phone calls, things of that sort. I think that connecting really well with the entire coaching staff made it exciting. Throughout this process, it was somewhere I wanted to go. Obviously, you get to go into a quarterback room that is experienced, talented and knows how to be professionals. You get to learn under them for a little bit and see how to be successful. I’m excited to be a part of this franchise. Yeah, there was a connection early of being with each other and it was place that I wanted to be at.”

On his mentality upon entering the NFL:

“Just come in and control what you control. Be a sponge. I think that’s the best thing about this is that you go into this team, this franchise, and you get to learn so much for people that are so knowledgeable, so talented, have been around it for a long time. Go in there, be a sponge, learn as much as you can, compete, add as much value as you can in whatever way or whatever role that is.”

“First, competitiveness. I think that, as an intangible asset, can really take you a long ways. I think that you can see it from a lot of the greats, you can see it in Justin [Herbert] a lot you. You can see it in this team. On the field, it’s just being a two-way player, being able to make every throw, as well as trying to be able to make plays with your legs and be that two-way threat.”
