RB Jeff Wilson Jr.

(Your attitude coach said is infectious on the team. Because when you do that and want to run over a defender, it seems like everybody else wants to do the same thing as well.) – “Yeah. I mean, it’s just contagious. I’m glad I can be that point. Obviously, it’s not like these guys are not physical or haven’t been playing hard or running hard since before I got here. It’s just the fact that even if it was me on the other side, to see somebody else doing it, it would turn me up to be like I want to get some of that because I like the affect it brings.”

(Head Coach Mike McDaniel actually has a name for it. He called it Wilson-itis.) – “Yeah, I guess you can say that. That’s just me. That’s how I play the game, and that’s how I’ve always played the game.”

(What’s the kind of reaction you get on the sideline when you come back from a run? You put a Euro step on somebody yesterday. What’s the kind of reaction you get from your teammates when you go back?) – “It be pats (on the back) and a good job, but it’s the facial expressions that say more than words or any other thing. Just to come back and to see the guys giving me that look like, ‘I feel you brother. Keep giving it to me. I feel you. You’re turning me up.’ That’s what gives me the thrill out of it, to see them come back and be hyped and ready to play some NFL football.”

(You’ve been with Head Coach Mike McDaniel for probably the longest now. Do you ever wonder what’s going on in the mind of that dude? Because he’s not the typical coach. He never gives a typical coach speech. You just never know what’s going to come out of his mouth. Just talking about that mind of Mike.) – “He’s a mastermind. He’s a guy that does a lot, that has a lot on his plate now. I can only imagine how much more it’s turning than what it was before because he’s always thinking, he’s always working, he’s always prepared and he’s always trying to be the best. So when you do that, it causes a lot of hours. I’m just thankful to his wife and family for being a great support to him. That way he can be at his best and give us all that he can. He’s doing a tremendous job. But trying to figure out what’s exactly on his mind? I think that’s impossible. (laughter)”
