S Jevon Holland

(Describe the feeling of what you think it will be like walking out of that tunnel on Sunday?) – “I think it’ll be exhilarating, honestly. It’s a lifelong dream, playing on an NFL team, making a roster and things like that. The first game is going to be awesome, especially with the fans back. I’m really excited.”

(I don’t think we have spoken to you since you changed your number. What went behind the decision to go back?) – “Honestly I was working hard in training camp and when the opportunity came and they asked me if I wanted to switch, I was like, ‘Yeah, sure.’ Being back in No. 8 feels good. I’m back in my college number. It’s pretty cool, especially seeing some of my friends in the league wearing single digits. It’s cool to have that.”

(Does that have any significance to you from before college or does it mean anything to you other than the nostalgia?) – “I think more of the nostalgia, definitely, from college. I always wore No. 8 in NCAA 14 and whatnot. Being able to wear it in the league now is pretty crazy. I always thought like, ‘Dang, why can’t athletes or skilled positions wear single digits.’ When they changed the rule, I was pretty excited.”

(After missing some time, you seem to be running around pretty good out there today, how do you feel?) – “I feel good. Yeah, I feel great.”

(I saw you tweeting about Oregon’s uniforms. Have you made a decision about what your favorite Dolphins uniform is and is that better than Oregon’s?) – “I think NFL and college are completely different. Separate categories? I’m putting Oregon No. 1 in college, hands down, and then Dolphins No. 1 because the orange and aqua are definitely top in terms of color rush and things like that. I haven’t made a decision on the No. 1 Dolphins uniform yet though.”

(Is your impression that you will be backing up DB Jason McCourty on Sunday? Do you think that’s a competition that’s ongoing from what Defensive Backs Coach Gerald Alexander has told you?) – “Really I’m just out there in practice. I heard there was a depth chart that came out. I’m not really sure about it. We’re really just out there and the coaches put us in the best position possible to go out there and perform. I’m not really paying attention to the depth chart. I’m just trying to help the team win.”
