The second-year pro, who signed with the Detroit Lions wholesale giants jersey as an undrafted free-agent after breaking virtually every tight wholesale yankees jersey end record at LSU, said he was ready for the speed of the NFL, but the intelligence of its players really surprised him.

"You learn a lot of stuff interacting with guys who wholesale Blue jays jersey have been doing this for a long time. When you jump from high wholesale pirates jersey school to wholesale pilots jersey college, it's the speed that changes. But from college to the pros, wholesale athletics jersey it's how smart everyone is. It's a mental game. It's really good to wholesale hawks jersey get wholesale mavericks jersey that first year out of the way. We've got a lot of guys I learned a lot from."

"The speed isn't much different from LSU," he said. "We had a lot of great players there. wholesale browns jersey But what you wholesale lakers jersey really have wholesale cavaliers jersey to learn to do is wholesale expos jersey learn to play smarter.

It took a little time to get the mental part wholesale mets jersey down, but wholesale bucks jersey I'm a fast learner. That's why I'm looking forward to training camp this year, just to be having fun playing football again."
