Cornerback Xavien Howard

(On what he thinks about the situation at Baylor) – “Not really. Right now, my focus is on the Dolphins right now (and) just learning the defense.”

(On whether he saw the behavior detailed in a report about Baylor) – “No, sir.”

(On whether he is up to speed with learning the defense) – “I’m in there getting reps from the other guys like (Byron) Maxwell and Tony Lippett. (I am) watching them and really just catching on and learning the defense.”

(On whether he and CB Tony Lippett have shared an equal amount of first-team snaps) – “I think we’re getting the same reps. We’re just going to compete – Tony (Lippett and I) – on the other side of (Byron) Maxwell. But (I am) learning from him – learning from Tony and Maxwell.”

(On improving his patience and footwork and whether there are other areas of his game that are coming along) – “Really, my technique coming out of college – like my eye discipline and stuff like that – my technique is different. But I have to get adjusted to it (and) see what the coaches want me to do and improve every day.”

(On what he has learned so far about the NFL) – “The tempo is way fast. I thought it was fast at Baylor, but here, it’s fast. So, (I am) getting in the right position and (being) there to make a play and trying to adapt to the defense and learning everything that the coaches want me to do.”

(On what he enjoys about this defense so far) – “Right now, (we are) pressing. I love to press. We do a lot of different stuff that (Defensive Coordinator) Coach Vance Joseph (has) us doing. Really, (I enjoy) just being an all-around corner(back) and competing out there.”

(On how he would rate his performance in OTAs so far) – “I feel like I’m getting better each day and learning something different and trying to adapt to it.”

(On what he has learned about Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph) – “Vance Joseph leans on me hard, so he’s expecting a lot from me. I have to work hard every day and listen to him.”

(On whether he feels as if he should be a starter by training camp or opening day) – “I’m tough on myself about it, but (it is) really (about) learning – learning new stuff that’s going on and taking one day at a time and learning from the other guys, like I said.”
