WR Will Fuller

(Are you fully back from what was keeping you sidelined? Do you feel totally fine?) – “I feel pretty good. I’m ready to get back in practice and start doing some things with Tua (Tagovailoa), so I’m excited to be back.”

(I know QB Tua Tagovailoa said he worked a couple of days with you off-site in the summer. Where do you feel your chemistry is with him at this point?) – “Of course I want to be out here to gain that chemistry but we still have some time here before we break camp to work on those things. Like I said, I’m excited to be back and get some chemistry with Tua.”

(How much rust do you feel like you have to work off considering you had so much time out?) – “Yeah, I haven’t played a game in a long time – since I guess Thanksgiving. That’s just something I have to work out through practice and shake that rust off. I feel pretty good, though. I’m out here running routes today and I feel pretty good.”

(You’ve been in explosive offenses before obviously with WR DeAndre Hopkins, QB Deshaun Watson, etc. When you look at you being able to put out five guys – you, WR DeVante Parker, WR Albert Wilson, WR Jaylen Waddle, TE Mike Gesicki – how much havoc could that cause for opposing defenses do you think?) – “Definitely a lot. This is probably one of the deepest and talented receiving corps that I’ve been a part of, just as far as all of the guys. We all can get it done and of course the tight ends as well and the running backs. It’s been fun to watch these guys. I’m excited to get out there with them and put my best out there.”

(What intrigues you about the offense that Co-Offensive Coordinator/Tight Ends George Godsey, Co-Offensive Coordinator/Running Backs Eric Studesville and Quarterbacks Coach Charlie Frye all came together and created? What intrigues you most about it?) – “Yeah, I like that we get the ball around to all of the guys. Just watching the games, Myles (Gaskin) had a day, Mike (Gesicki) had his day, some of the younger guys were catching touchdowns. We spread the ball out a lot. There’s one ball so it’s going to be fun playing with all of these guys around here.”

(Just watching QB Tua Tagovailoa, just your thoughts on watching him evolve over this last month – what impressions have you had?) – “Yeah, definitely in a game just his poise – making all of the right reads, doing everything the coaches ask of him. It’s been fun to watch Tua. He’s a very accurate quarterback. I love that about him. Like I said, I haven’t been out there with him but I’m excited to get out there and get this chemistry going.”

(When you have an accurate quarterback like that, what does it lead a receiver to do in terms of opportunities?) – “I think you just know where that ball is going to be. It builds that trust with the quarterback that you know he’s going to put the ball where it needs to be. That’s it.”

(You’ve been around this league a little bit. How tough would it be for a coach to make a decision, specifically in your room right now?) – “Just looking at the guys, I don’t know what we’re going to do. We’ve got so many receivers, so much talent. If not here, somewhere else. I think we’ve got 13 receivers that can play in the league. I think it’s going to be a tough decision so I don’t know.”

(I know you haven’t been in a game with QB Tua Tagovailoa yet but how nice was it to finally be in the huddle and see WR DeVante Parker and yourself and WR Jaylen Waddle?) – “That’s one of the most important things for me is just hearing the play call from Tua in the huddle. I’ve been sitting in meetings and I’ve been hearing it in meetings but it’s different when you’re out there and you actually have to go to your spot. Like I was asked earlier, just knocking that rust off with hearing a play from him and just playing fast, it’s going to be a fun year.”

(How good did you feel out there running around and catching the ball? How close to how full are you?) – “I feel real good. They took their time with me so I felt ready to go a little bit before this. Just getting out here on the field, I’m excited to be back out here.”
