WR Jakeem Grant

(I know it sticks out for the fans that the Dolphins are playing their former head coach this week. Is that something that maybe the players get a little motivation behind, maybe a little grudge match? Is that element in your head, for the guys that were here last year?) – “No, not really. Not to me. Me personally, I have a relationship with him outside of football. I’d say just for me, it will be great seeing him just because I have a relationship with him. It will be great to go against him, just knowing that he was the coach that drafted me and things of that nature. It will be great seeing him just in general.”

(It’s special for you for that reason?) – “Yes, because I’ve got a relationship with him outside of football. It has nothing to do with football. It will be great. He’s a great coach and I know he has a great game plan and so do we.”

(The thing you remember about Adam Gase just from your time with him – a particular anecdote or something that you recall about him in a smiling way?) – “I’d just say me personally, he truly cared about me. That’s what I love about him. It has nothing to do with football. Me and him have a relationship outside of football. Like I said, I talk to him outside of football. Whenever the season is not going, I just talk to him. He asks me how my family is doing and I ask him the same, and just things of that nature.”

(It’s hard for guys like you and WR Albert Wilson who have had injuries, with the type of skillset you have in terms of speed and explosiveness, to be what you were immediately after you were hurt. Do you feel like you’re all the way back or do you still feel like you’re not totally back to where you were before the hamstring?) – “Yeah. Every day I’m progressing and every day I’m going to continue to go out there and get better. I feel like I’ve just got to continue to push myself to get better and better each and every day so the coaches know that I’m 100 percent and they can get ready to roll.”

(Are you close?) – “Oh yeah, definitely close.”
