CB Tony Lippett

(How are you feeling so far this camp?) – “I’m feeling good. I’m just trying to get better every day and compete.”

(What’s the competition like when you have so many guys back there? It seems like everyone is looking pretty good as a defensive backfield right now.) – “It’s a good competition. We’re all learning from each other. We’re all coming out here and competing every day just trying to get better. That’s it.”

(How close to the level that you were in 2016 do you feel like you are?) – “I’m pretty close. I’m feeling pretty good, feeling back to myself, just trying to every day take it one day at a time and just keep going.”

(I talked to LB Raekwon McMillan. He was telling me that you, QB Ryan Tannehill and him were working out and have even been testing each other on 40 times. You had him a couple of times. Is that the first indication that you’re starting to feel like yourself?) – “Yes. We were grinding for a long time. We were always seeing each other every day, just competing against each other. We were out here conditioning and things like that, so we always just keep the competition, keep competing. That just keeps us going hard and going with each other.”

(How nice is it to keep that competitive edge in the room during the rehab process?) – “It’s always good. You always want to be out here on the field. When you’re not on the field, you can still compete and still get better. That’s what we were just trying to do when we weren’t out here. I feel like we got each other better every day.”

(Do you feel any rust coming back or did you shake it off quick considering…) – “I’m just grinding every day. It is what it is. Just grinding, just getting it in.”

(Does it matter whether it’s first or second team? You’re getting a lot of looks from a lot of guys on the outside too.) ­– “Yes, I mean right now it really doesn’t matter. I’m just trying to continue to get right every day, just come out here with a positive mindset no matter where I’m at and just play and just keep getting better. It’s going to be tough. It’s going to be trying or whatever it is. Just come out here and get better every day.”

(Sometimes when guys come back from an injury, the injury is in the back of their mind for a little while. Are you still at that point, or is it completely out of your mind when you play?) – “I feel like it’s out of my mind. I don’t think about it. I don’t ever question myself out here because I know the hard work I’ve put in through this whole last year, so I don’t second guess myself out here, not when I’m cutting or running or anything like that – jumping. I don’t second guess myself. I just go.”
