On the podcast with Tate Ratledge …
“He’s himself, he’s a funny guy, it’s enjoyable, it makes the podcast fun. We kind of sit there and just talk, there's a script of ideas we go over, but there is no set script that we have to talk about.. We just talk really and you forget the cameras are there.”
On the Ray Guy Award …
“It’s not something I actively go out and look into. The season is five-six months away, definitely not thinking about that or individual accolades. I have to focus on spring ball. We have four more practices, a scrimmage, then G day. That's my focus, and I know in May I get to go back to Australia and work more on my punting.”

On coaching up the younger guys while also competing for playing time …
“We’re not really worried about a depth chart right now. We’re all just trying to be the best that we can be as a group and work on communicating with each other. We’re all trying to learn right now, and that is what the spring is for.”

On how it feels going into his second spring here …
“I would say I’m more comfortable. I have a full understanding of the playbook whether it's schemes, runs, different types of blocks, and just situational football. Overall I would just say I'm more comfortable with the whole scheme.”
On any advice to the new receivers that just came in through the portal…
“Honestly those three guys are coming along great with the playbook. As far as a team runs and physicality goes, they're really bought in. I would honestly just tell them to enjoy it. Actually enjoy it whether it's the struggle or the good times or the bad times.”
