‘The only way I’m going to fit in is where coach wants me to fit in. I haven’t really talked to him about physically what position I’m going to be at, but I’m going to go into minicamp and just play hard.’

‘Aaron Williams, everything goes in cycles in football and it’s gotten now to where you’ve got big receivers and you need big corners, and they’re hard to find. This guy is talented. He’s really a good athlete and he’s got some versatility. He can play corner, obviously, he can play in the slot in the nickel, and we think he can play safety.’

‘”He played sideline to sideline at the Senior Bowl better than he did sometimes on tape,” said Gailey. “We were really able to see his speed there. He made all conference and we heard some good things about him, but we also heard there were some limitations with him running sideline to sideline and we saw just the opposite. We saw him make plays all over the field and that was eye-opening for us.”‘

‘It’s the feeling that I get before a game. I can’t even put it into words. I’ve been playing the game of football ever since I was five years old and it literally means everything to me. The feeling after a victory is like no other, in my opinion. I just take that to the game and I try to spread it throughout my team and to my teammates. And I see we’ve got big Marcell (Dareus) up front in front of me so I’m going to try to get his big butt fired up before those games so he can keep the linemen off of me (laughs).”

‘That’s one of the reasons we liked him. He’s a thick guy. He’s 250 pounds and that’s why I think a lot of people thought a 250-pounder couldn’t go sideline to sideline. They thought he was a between the tackles player and we saw it a little differently once we got to know him and started watching him closer.’
