TE Mike Gesicki

(How much do you think you grew in this training camp? Obviously learning a different position.) – “It’s been good. I think there’s been a lot of time invested in different aspects of my game that I haven’t before, and I think it’s going to continue to progress. It’s something that I’m excited about. I think it’ll be able to open up a little bit more of my game and then overall in the offense. I’m excited to continue to grow and develop.”

(Was it a little different waiting for cut-down day for you with everything swirling around and your name being mentioned and everything?) – “No. Honestly, no. I wasn’t – nothing ever really crossed my mind, but I just come in, come to work, do my thing and go about my business.”

(General Manager Chris Grier said yesterday that two teams called inquiring about you to trade, but they never called anyone. Obviously, they value you. Was that something he or Head Coach Mike McDaniel conveyed to you as rumors swirled the last couple of weeks?) – “No.”

(Pleased with how it worked out with you being here?) – “Am I pleased how it worked out? I do enjoy my time here, so yes (laughter).”

(We heard Head Coach Mike McDaniel say yesterday that he was happy about your response after all these little trade rumors came about. Just based on what you know about him and the time you spent around him, what does adversity mean to him? What does that opportunity to face adversity mean to him?) – “For him, it’s one of his rules and one of the things that he takes extremely serious, just because you can apply it in so many different ways in life, in the game and all that kind of stuff. So I wouldn’t really call that part adversity, but there is going to be adversity in games that you’re going to have to be able to go through and ride the peaks and the valleys and come out a better player and a better man because of it. So, absolutely.”
