WR Jaylen Waddle

(What was your reaction to hearing about RB De’Von Achane and being placed on IR?) – “He’s a strong person, strong kid. I know he’ll overcome it. He’s going to overcome it. There is not too much we can do. We’re not worried about it. He’ll come back stronger, bigger, faster. Still not faster than me, but he’s going to be back.”

(We saw you throwing footballs with WR Tyreek Hill and RB Raheem Mostert. Which one of the three of you will get the call to throw one day?) – “They can’t throw with me. I be telling them I played quarterback in high school. Tell them to watch my high school highlight tape. They are going to see accurate.”

(But you hit the net once.) – “I was warming up, for real. Warming up, that’s all. They can’t throw with me at all, or run with me.”

(What are your very, very, very early impressions of No. 83 WR Chase Claypool?) – “I told him, he looks like a freaking machine moving out there. He’s got a big frame, that’s one thing that stands out. For his size, he is picking them up and putting them down, so I’m excited to see him play. I’m excited to see him work, work with him and all that type of stuff. We’re excited about him.”

(How hard do you think it’s going to be for him to learn all the plays?) – “He seems like a pretty smart guy. What school did he go to again?”

(Notre Dame.) – “Yeah, he’s a smart guy for sure then. It comes with it. Reps are definitely going to be important for him to get them in, but I think he’s going to catch on pretty fast.”

(What’s your reaction of how the offense has played through five weeks?) – “Honestly, I really think like the best is yet to come honestly. I feel like we’re – I feel like our best is yet to come. You’ve seen the tape, as ‘Reek’ (Tyreek Hill) said.”

(How much emphasis is it this week to not take your foot off the pedal even though you’re taking on a 0-5 team? Just to be stronger than ever on offense this week?) – “I think when you see them on film, it’s easy not to. They are a real good group, a hungry group – hungry to make that statement game. You see it on film, they are a really good group. They really play good together.”  

(I don’t want you to get fined, so don’t say anything fineable, but did you get an explanation on the end zone play where the guy was facing you? That was my only question. Did the refs give good explanations?) – “I’m just here so I won’t get fined. (laughter) So I don’t know.”
