WR Albert Wilson

(I know you talked about this before; but obviously the year away, can you describe what that was like, as far as what you did to keep yourself in shape? It looked like you came back in good shape.) – “Yeah, I’ve been with the same trainers, (Pete) Bommarito’s for the last three years since I got down to Miami. I’ve just stayed with those guys. But you know, time heals all. Just being able to have that time off to be able to rest that hip and rest everything else, that’s pretty much it.”

(How about being refreshed and not taking hits for a year?) – “For sure. Anything that is banged up, it has a limit. When you’re healthy, that limit is pushed a little further. So that’s how I feel right now, not having a limit.”

(Your explosiveness looks like it’s still there. We saw some shake and bake earlier this week with some of the deep routes. How do you feel now compared to throughout your career?) – “I feel pretty good. I feel explosive, I feel fast. I’m just coming out here to work again. It’s just a blessing being able to get out here.”

(Is the first day of pads more for the big guys? Is it more for the big guys, they get more excited?) – “It’s just the physicality of the game. The mindset, the toughness, the extra weight that you have on you, just to grind it out. It’s just all of those things put together. But yeah, you definitely want to be able to bring those big guys into – in OTAs, they don’t get to do nothing. The beginning of camp they don’t get to do nothing. For them to finally get the pads on, I know that makes them feel a little bit more better.”

(LB Jerome Baker was out here a few minutes ago talking about the speed on offense, and what it’s like from a defensive perspective. What is it like for you guys? What are you seeing out of this offense now in terms of the ability to stretch the field vertically as opposed to past years? How much better does it seem?) – “I don’t know. I think we’ve stretched the field pretty good the last time I was out on the field. We definitely got new pieces that can do it well. It’s just exciting that we all can get out here and work.”

(A lot of people are saying you’ve been one of the studs of camp so far. Are you pleased with your performance?) – “I’m just happy that I’m able to get out here to play. It’s been a long time coming. I still feel like I’ve just got to prove myself every day, day in and day out.”

(What’s your chemistry level with QB Tua Tagovailoa? Obviously you weren’t here with him last year. What is it like at this point?) – “I think it’s pretty good. These last two offseasons, we got a lot of work in. When he first got here before I opted out, we spent the whole offseason together, and this past offseason. We didn’t work at the same facility, but we were close and we got a lot of work in. I feel like the chemistry just picked up where it left off from the offseason.”

(Does something stand out to you about the ball QB Tua Tagovailoa throws?) – “He has a really nice catchable ball. It’s not too tough to catch, it’s not darting at you. It’s pretty much easy to grab and go. I like it.”
