Here are the highlights of the interview:
āEverything was good, I had a great visit,ā . āComing in early in the morning, I spent time with my family and my brothers. Hard fought loss. It was a good team, but there are definitely things we can clean up. I say we because Iām putting myself in that family already.ā
- Instead of viewing the Hurricanesā season negatively, he sees it as an opportunity to come in and revitalize a historic program and make an early impact.
āWe all see how open the door is and what Miami is like,ā āLike what coach Cristobal first said, when the U is on, itās like no other. We all feel like we can come in here and do it. We have talent all around here, so why leave? Put all that stuff together, and we all preach and talk about it every day about what we can come in and do. Iām going to be honest; weāre coming in to take peopleās spots.ā
-He mentions how he was so surprised, yet happy that so many fans recognized him when he got to Hard Rock.
āAs soon as Iām walking down in the stadium, everybodyās yelling, āRaul or Popoā taking selfies with me, and all of that definitely made it big,ā . āEvery time I come to Miami, I get this feeling that itās home, so thatās why I committed and thatās why Iām coming, and weāre going to put on.ā
āWarren Sapp was joking around, saying this is a reunion for you, isnāt it? Itās like a family environment. Everybody knows me and has seen me before. Itās definitely just going to make me go back home and put in the work, get my body right to come in and dominate.ā
