RB Sony Michel

(Can you talk a little bit about what it was like having fans out here creating a little bit of an atmosphere for you guys?) – “It’s been cool. Having the fans out here creating some cool energy, letting them see what they’ve been waiting for, and seeing our process.”

(How does it feel to be back in South Florida now that training camp has started? I know you went to high school down here, but being here in the pros, how does it feel?) – “It feels good. Being back home getting to focus on what’s important. Being home, you really have no outside distractions if you look at it from the right perspective because everything is already taken care of. You have your right support system already in place and you can kind of just focus on ball.”

(Being away, I know you won a Super Bowl in New England and having the opportunity to grow as an individual. Can you speak on that? Having the opportunity to grow away from home.) – “Being in different places, being in different organizations, well-respected organizations, it definitely helped me as a professional as far as building a schedule, knowing what I need to do to be my best on the field and off the field, being around guys, being around leaders and really being around so many different people helping me become who I am today.”

(How excited are you to start facing off against your defense?) – “I’m excited. It’s always a great opportunity when you get a chance to play some football. New England is a good team. They’ve always been a good team. I’m excited for some good competition.”

(For you in the running back room, how has the camaraderie been so far in training camp?) – “The camaraderie has been good. Guys love to compete, guys are out here working their tails off trying to earn spots. That’s what it’s all about. Nothing is given, everything is earned and you get what you earn out here.”

(You and QB Teddy Bridgewater are both South Florida guys. Did you hear his comments earlier this week about encouraging players to choose their path?) – “Definitely.”

(Do you have a take on that being from down here yourself?) – “I 100 percent back him up and agree with what he said. We’re in a special position. We’re blessed to be in this position, and it’s our job to serve. To serve as leaders and lead by example.”

(You were at Hadley Park a couple weeks back with WR Tutu Atwell. How was that atmosphere with the kids?) – “It was cool just seeing young kids out there grinding, competing, having fun most importantly. Then just being a part of the community. It’s always cool being a part of the community.”

(Do you have any camps upcoming before the season or after the season?) – “I don’t have any camps right now planned, but I’m sure I will in the near future.”

(Does it feel special to be back working in the community that you grew up in?) – “Definitely. It feels great to be home. To be here and play in my backyard, no words can describe it.”
