Jaylen Waddle – August 19, 2023 (Third Quarter) Download PDF version

WR Jaylen Waddle on CBS Miami Broadcast

(We just saw you guys get in the end zone again, 28 points here so far. Impressions of the offense?) – “We look real good. We had a bad start but that comes with it getting all the rust and jitters out, coming out and playing the one’s for the first time. Got that out the way and we started moving the ball efficiently.”

(I did want to ask you about coming home this week. How much fun did you have? Did you get to visit any of your old stomping grounds, see friends and family?) – “Yeah, I got to see friends and family. It’s always good coming back to Houston. There’s a lot of love and support out here. I went back to my old high school and got to see them scrimmage. It was a good week.”

(I know a lot of them were probably asking, when are we going to see you back out there? How are you feeling? Are you close to coming back?) – “Yeah, definitely. You’ll see me back out there real soon. I’m feeling good, going to be back real soon.”

(You’ve had a heck of a start to your career here. Last year, you lead the Dolphins in receiving touchdowns. What were your goals coming in and how much do you get to play off of a guy like WR Tyreek Hill?) – “Yeah, man. Tyreek definitely, he kind of brings the energy not just in the room, but to the team. Him coming out there and being himself, you don’t have no choice but to follow him and try to match his energy.”

(When WR Tyreek Hill came out and said, “I want a 2,000-yard season,” did that get you thinking about maybe what you want to bring to the table here in 2023?) – “Not really. ‘Reek’ (Tyreek Hill) has the ability to do anything he wants to do in this league. So him saying he wants 2K is in his reach, and we’re all rooting for him to do that and make history.”

(I know I saw you out there during practice, still being engaged with practice even if you couldn’t be out there, saying hi to old Alabama teammates. How cool was the reunion this week?) – ”Man, it was good. Houston’s got a lot of Alabama guys over there. So it’s always good seeing my old teammates, seeing how they’re doing, catching up with them, talking about the ‘Bama days and all that good stuff.”
