S Jevon Holland

(On his reaction to the Damar Hamlin injury) – “It was tough. Damar is a great individual, a great player. It was pretty surreal to see that happen in live time and not know what was going on. The situation is out of everybody’s hands. And the first responders that were there, that were handling that, that was really huge and props to them for being able to execute such a serious situation. I really hope he gets better really soon.”

(Reports are that Damar Hamlin is progressing. When you hear stuff like that, I’m sure for the football fraternity, that definitely makes you feel good.) – “Absolutely. Any time somebody gets hurt, you want them to be better, want them to get well. But this is a super serious situation. I’m really happy that he’s progressing forward.”

(You took to Twitter and a lot of players took to Twitter and just kind of the way the fan base is and the brotherhood of the NFL, just kind of rallying around him. Is that special for you guys to see a beautiful thing in tragedy?) – “Yeah, absolutely. It’s known that the NFL is a brotherhood and everybody supports everybody. But when stuff like that happens and you see the response from everybody, it’s heartwarming to know that everybody just wants everybody to be ok. That’s the bottom line. But yeah, it was super dope, for sure.”

(I know it varies from player to player but how difficult is it to compartmentalize all of this and have to focus on a very important game this week and for you guys? How do you go about doing that?) – “You kind of have to separate off the field and on the field in your head. For me personally, it’s not necessarily difficult. It’s just about staying disciplined. Things happen in day-to-day life every day throughout the whole year. Something catastrophic like this is very unique and it has not happened before. It’s serious and you kind of have to face it head on but also understand that you’re also in a situation where you have to be at your best and you have to continue to play hard because if you don’t, then that’s when you risk injury as well. You kind of just have to take it how it is and keep on walking forward. That’s basically how I see it.”

(Being this is your second season, you know a lot of New Yorkers live down here in South Florida. How important is it for Dolphins fans to flood the stadium this Sunday so you guys have a home-field advantage?) – “It’s very important. We need y’all at the game, for sure. Yeah, we’re trying to win so I need y’all there. It’s always great when they’re there and it really livens up the atmosphere when they’re there.”
