WR Albert Wilson

(On who called him before he signed with the Dolphins.) – “I believe it was (Head) Coach (Adam) Gase. He just expressed how much he can use me, how valuable I will be to the team. Yes, it was Coach.”

(Your yards per catch on balls thrown at or behind the line of scrimmage was insane last year. You would attribute that to what? What skills allow you to make something out of plays at or behind the line of scrimmage?) – “Just pretty much playing running back all of my life. Just being able to get the ball out there and get a couple of blockers in front of me and let me work in space.”

(You knew coming here you might not necessarily start, obviously with WR Kenny Stills, WR DeVante Parker and then WR Danny Amendola signed like a day after you. Did that enter your thinking at all or did that make no difference whatsoever to you?) – “Not at all. I’ve been working very hard on my craft. Coach (Gase) knows well what I can do. I have faith in him, as he has faith in me and I believe everybody is going to do well in this offense.”

(The way you look at it, do you expect all of you guys to play a lot?) – “Oh, definitely. I think we’re all going to get our part. I think it’s going to be an exciting offense to watch. I think everybody is going to have their week and that’s the great thing about Coach Gase. He did a great job getting players that he can use every weekend and we’ve just been working hard to do that.”

(Are you getting a wide range of different opportunities and different ways to be used? Is that stimulating to you?) – “Oh, yes; and it’s fun. You kind of sit there and think that you can do all these things and for them to give you an opportunity to do it, it’s a blessing.”

(Head Coach Adam Gase was lined up against the receivers yesterday and again today. It looked like you even got a pop on his face in there. What’s it like having a head coach out there being that active?) – “It’s awesome. A big thing he brings to the table is energy. He wants to show … not only just tell us to bring energy, but he’s bringing energy for us. So when he gets out there and in those drills and give us a chance to work and tell us exactly what he wants, it’s a great learning lesson.”

(Was it pretty much a given that the intensity would pick up today with it being the first day in full pads?) – “Definitely. Just playing football all your life, you never go out there Day 1 with pads on. You do everything you can to lead up to that day and once you get the pads on, it’s everything.”

(What’s been the breakdown for you so far as far as snaps in the slot compared to the outside?) – “I think it’s pretty even. I’ve been lining up pretty much everywhere. It’s been a balance thing. They’re not pushing me to do everything at once. They’re kind of easing me into things and it’s a great lesson.”

(You’re more effective where? I know you can do both but do you think you’re more effective in the slot or on the outside?) – “It depends on matchups. I can get them in the slot and work in a lot of space or I can get out there on those bigger corners and use my quickness and get open out there. (Coach Gase is) doing a great job of using me everywhere.”
