Postgame – Minnesota

Dolphins WR Jakeem Grant (transcribed by the Minnesota Vikings)

Q: Is this what you had in mind in terms of what you can do?
A:  I was just trying to go out there and make a play.  I wanted to show everybody that I am a receiver before a returner.  I was just making plays and doing whatever I can to have the coaches trust me.  I feel like that is another step that I took tonight.

Q: It seems like you’re in a much better position to get that chance during the regular season than a year ago.  Do you agree with that?
A: This year I am night and day from last year in terms of being a better player and better pro.  I have learned the ins and outs as well as learning from the veteran guys like [Jarvis Landry and Kenny Stills] and looking up to those guys.  I watched what they did last year that made them excel to another level so that’s what I have taken in.

Q: Do you look to make this a weekly occurrence?
A: Definitely.  I just want to make play after play so the coaches know whenever they put me in there it’s going to be a big play.

Q: What do you think you showed this preseason?
A: Like I said, I am a receiver before a returner.  I just wanted to go out there and show everybody that I can go out there and make big plays like [Kenny Stills, Jarvis Landry and DeVante Parker].  Whenever you put me in there you can trust me and there is not going to be a slack off.
