S Jevon Holland

(On being named a team captain.) – “It’s an honor. It really is. I was a little choked up in the meeting. It felt really good.”

(CB Xavien Howard mentioned that he was surprised that sometimes you hold him accountable. Is that something you … holding teammates accountable and being so young?) – “I just feel like it’s a part of my process, making sure that my teammates are all held to the same standard. I hold myself to a higher standard and I want them to understand that I hold them to a higher standard as well. I’m not going to necessarily not say something to somebody based on their status or whatnot. I see him as my teammate and I want him to coach me as hard as I coach him. I’m going to take everything that he says, and I hope that he will do the same for me. Of course it’s always love from me, and he knows that.”

(How many times have you been a captain going through high school and college?) – “You can only be named captain one time and then you’re a captain (for good). So I’d say twice. I was named captain in high school. I was named captain in college. It kind of happened the same in college. I was on the leadership counsel my freshman year and then my sophomore year, I was named captain. It’s kind of the same thing here. It just ends up happening that way. I just try to hold myself up to the same standard everywhere I go and it kind of unravels that way.”

(CB Xavien Howard was telling us that even as a rookie, if you saw something, you would say something to him, and essentially criticize him if need be.) – “I mean, yeah. I’m his teammate. I want him to perform at a high level just like he wants me to perform at a high level. If I see something that I know for a fact needs to be improved or whatnot, or that he could do better, then I’ll say something. He’ll do the same for me.”

(Were you surprised that you were named captain?) – “I wouldn’t necessarily say I was surprised, or if I didn’t get named captain that I’d be surprised. It was more just wanting to see who was captain. Once I did get named captain, I was honored. I still am honored.”
