WR Preston Williams

(I noticed at practice, every time Pop Smoke is on, Six Nine is on, you’re always loving the music, loving the energy. What makes you want to bring that juice when you’re on the field and on the practice field?) – “It’s kind of my style of play. I just like to have fun. The team, if someone is upset, I go cheer them up, warm them up, make them feel better. As long as you keep your mind straight the whole game, I feel like you’ll produce well and have a decent game. I just try to stay positive all of the time.”

(When CB Noah Igbinoghene covers you in practice, going back to training camp, what’s the skill about him that you think will make him a good NFL cornerback over time?) – “He’s got all of the tangibles to be a great corner in this league one day. He’s young right now. He’s still learning. He’s a real patient – for a rookie corner, he’s really patient. He’s going to get hands on you. He’s very physical, and I like that. I like Noah out there. I think he’s going to be a great ballplayer in the years to come.”

(We’re a few episodes into WR DeVante Parker’s cartoon now and I’m just curious, when are you going to get that cameo?) – “(laughter) I’ve got to ask DeVante and his team how all of that works. Hopefully I can get a feature in his cartoon. I’ve been watching it myself. I think it’s pretty cool. Hopefully I can get a feature in it.”

(There are specific routes – Week 2 near the goal line and then last week in Jacksonville on the slant, I thought that was much tougher coverage against that corner. What did it just mean mentally for you to be able to haul that touchdown in, knowing that it followed up the drop from the week before?) – “It was more of just having a clear mentality. I dropped that pass in the Bills game and they came to me later that game, but you have to just move on to the next play. The league is full of contested catches. A lot of DBs are pretty good. It’s all about creating space and making contested catches. That’s one of the things you’ve just always got to do. There’s always going to probably be a contested catch of a DB in the area.”

(I noticed that your snaps went from 61 to 35 and I was wondering if that was planned in terms of just maybe taking some pressure off the knee with two games so close together.) – “No. We added more personnel packages. We’ve got different people in the game, a little Wildcat and stuff like that. The snaps tend to go down when you’re not in on certain personnel (groups).”
