Anybody Quotes
He could have quit, especially after what coach said about him in the paper. Nobody wants to hear their coach talk about them like that. But at the same time, if it's the truth, it's the truth, and you have to acknowledge that. He acknowledged that, and he took it the best way anybody can take it.

Directly Quotes
I thought of my knee, ... and I jumped. He missed me, but I landed directly on my (right) knee. When I first landed, I didn't feel anything. I was happy. I was relieved he didn't hit my leg. But when I got up, I instantly felt it. When I got in the huddle, I looked at Davone (Bess, the left slotback), and I told him my knee hurt.

Coaches Quotes
I'm looking around, and the coaches are screaming for a returner, and I'm like, 'Put me in! Put me in!' ... After a second or two, I popped in my mouthpiece. I kept walking on the field, and nobody stopped me. You could tell (Jones) didn't want me out there, but nobody was out there (as a kick returner). He gave me the look, and I knew it was OK.

Believe Quotes
I really wanted to show everyone Jones was right to believe in me. First of all, nobody wanted to recruit me out of high school. Then here comes June Jones walking into my high school.

Bounce Quotes
You can see what he is on film . . . it ain't gonna lie to you. He's just a lot quicker and faster on film. But he's got great vision and patience. For a little man, you'd expect him, with that speed, to bounce outside. He can do that, but he stays in there and bounces it around inside because he can take those hits.
