Transcript
Reed: a little bit of how it goes, of course, and I feel just comfortable. Just in that, I'm sure you already talked about the histologies with that touchdown in the first act, like, well, take us through that play, how you saw it come about and everything. That's a catch-and-run, right?
Reed: Yeah. So, I said before, yeah, we ran the play, same play, probably a couple plays earlier, then wasn't able to connect and tell the opportunity again, and had trust, hadn't had trust in me, and I had trust in him and made it happen.
Reed: You've really impressed on camp, come out tonight, made the same. How much do you think being here last year and just absorbing all the playbook at your own pace helped?
Reed: I think it helped a lot. It definitely slows down the game for me. I'm just able to think more freely.
Reed: Take us through your point of view on the last play. Just amazing. Just to see Haynes go out there and do that is great, and especially, like, we work those drills and practice two-minute drills almost every day, so just to see it come to life is great.
Reed: This is a pretty talented wide receiver room. What all can it be, and where do you feel like you fit into it?
Reed: You know, I think I just want to find my role and continue to develop as a player, as myself, and whether that's on special teams or whether that's wide receiver, I feel like I'm willing to do either.
Reed: Did you come into this training camp feeling like this was going to be your time, or has it just kind of worked out even better than you thought?
Reed: I had expectations for myself, of course, and I knew that a goal for me was to make a 53-man roster, so just that mindset coming in, I think that'll offer me.
