WR Jaylen Waddle

(I know you want it to come in a win, but what would the rookie receiving record mean to you and also if it comes in a win against the Patriots?) – “I’m not really that focused on the record or anything. I’m just focused on doing my job and trying to help win.”

(I know you’ll have the offseason to think about this but what initially comes to mind if I asked you an area where you could still improve after all the great things you did as a rookie? What’s one area where you think you can get better?) – “I think there’s a lot of areas, to be honest. I think just knowledge of the game is always something that I can get better at and really just studying my opponents in deeper detail, being one step ahead and knowing what I’m going to see out there, I think that’s big. Obviously, you always want to work on catching the ball. That’s always thing No. 1 for a receiver to work on. Details on routes, top of the routes and trying to create more separation. I’ve got a lot to work on.”

(How unusual is it to be in a position where you’re not going to the postseason? There was so much winning at Alabama, is this a shock to your system, your season ending in seven days?) – “It’s disappointing, I would say that. We obviously wanted to make it far and try to make a run for it. But the season’s not over yet so we’ve still got another game to go and build into next year.”

(With the way you were played defensively yesterday, was it different from how other teams defended you?) – “Kind of, not really. I think they really did the things that they’re known for. They ran zone and had a lot of zone things to me. No, not overly different.”

(How difficult is it to find ways to make an impact when you are so heavily focused on from an opposing defense?) – “You’ve still got a job to do, obviously. If that means taking two for your teammate to get open or drawing attention to yourself to create positive plays, then that’s what you got to do at that point.”
