I'm a positive person and I know how hard I work each and every day ... I know what it takes to come back from an ACL. I've done it once already.
The most appealing thing is this is a winning franchise ... That's important to me. I came from a winning franchise. The opportunity to play free safety is very appealing. This defense is very aggressive.
Nothing is promised ... I have to earn it. I played free safety my junior year at college and started eight games there my second year in the NFL. I'm very comfortable in it. I always played a physical corner. Physicality is nothing new to me. I'm very instinctive and aggressive. I can bring a lot of positives.
They tend to be surprised and hurt, and we understand that and we're sorry for it.
