CB Xavien Howard

(If the Pro Bowl were ever to happen for you, what would it mean?) – “It’d mean a lot. I feel like my hard work is going to pay off at the end, so that’s the goal right now. We have the Bills. That’s my main focus right now.”

(When you hear that kind of support from your teammates, what runs through your mind?) – “I feel like they just hold me accountable to doing my job well.”

(What do you see in Bills QB Josh Allen? Strong arm, but rookies can be confused and disguise things.) – “I see a lot of stuff on film. He’s a big guy. He has an arm. He likes to run the ball a lot. We have to be ready and just be prepared for the game plan we have for him.”

(Did you shake hands with Colts QB Andrew Luck on Sunday?) – “Yeah, we ended up talking after the game.”

(Did Colts QB Andrew Luck tell you anything about how you baited him into the second pick?) – “Yeah. He was like ‘Man, where did you get your hands from?’ And we just started laughing and joking like that. He gave me props after the game.”

(How does that feel for you – two on Colts QB Andrew Luck, two on Patriots QB Tom Brady? It seems like there are a bunch of other guys.) – “There’s a lot more opportunities out there (with) five weeks of football. Each game I’m going to take advantage of the opportunity if they throw the ball my way.”

(What did you tell Colts QB Andrew Luck?) – “I just started laughing.”

(Do any of the Bills receivers stand out to you?) – “Yeah, they have speed over there. Zay Jones, Kelvin Benjamin – they have some nice receivers over there.”

(What kind of sense of urgency is there right now as far as playoffs go? You’re on the outside looking in right now.) – “We have to take care of our job. We just have to do our job here and everything else will take care of itself. We can’t really just focus on that right now. We’ve got the Bills this week, so that’s our main focus this week.”

(It’s been nine picks over 16 games, which the team of course keeps up with. Fans are aware. Is that something you’re aware of, knowing how many you have since the Denver and New England games last year?) – “Yeah, I have seen it on social media. Like I said, there’s a lot more opportunities out there I can take advantage of.”

(Is that a source of pride knowing that in the last 16 games, you have the most picks in the NFL?) – “I really don’t pay attention to the stats like that. I just do my job.”
