WR Jaylen Waddle

(How do you feel the offense performed overall today?) – “I think it was smooth, honestly. We got our flow going. It was good just to compete, really. It was good to compete against someone else other than our guys. I think it was a good day. Obviously it can get better. We’ll try to get better. It was pretty good, though.”

(What does it feel like, the ball coming from QB Tua Tagovailoa? Does your connection continue to grow this preseason?) – “It’s coming along well. I think we’re all just getting better as a team. We’re getting in, day-by-day, every practice – I feel like we’re making progress. It’s going good.”

(What did you notice was the biggest difference practicing against another team as opposed to practicing against your teammates?) – “It was just different just how pre-practice goes. It’s kind of similar; you’re just going against someone else so it was kind of like a game kind of, but not really. It was kind of weird. It was my first day, so the next day I’ll probably be a little more comfortable.”

(Did you enjoy it?) – “Yes, sir. Definitely.”

(Was there more juices flowing? And also, that’s a pretty good defense.) – “Definitely. Yeah, definitely the juices were flowing, just competing against someone other than our team. Definitely.”

(How much are you looking forward to suiting up in a professional football uniform and playing in a real game. I know it’s not a regular season game but playing a game in a place like Soldier Field?) – “It’s exciting, for sure. My first game. I haven’t really thought about it just yet but I’m pretty sure I’ll get more excited the closer the game gets.”

(A lot of the other receivers, guys that are battling for roster spots. Right now there are a lot of receivers that are out … what have you seen from them and their approach…) – “I think everyone is working hard day in and day out. A lot goes into it just off the field and on the field. I think everybody is just working hard and just trying to make a name. I think everyone is doing well.”

(Along those lines, when you’ve got three guys who are basically veteran guys who just aren’t practicing, what kind of an opportunity is that for guys like yourself and the other guys?) – “It’s always good just to get in and try to make plays and try to make a name for yourself. I think that just goes on with the game and just filling in, really. I think it’s going good. We’re waiting for those guys to come back.”
