Jackson Vick Transcript

Q: How are you feeling?

Vick: "I feel good."

Q: What's it like to get back out there today?

Vick: "It feels good. I mean, knocking the rust off, getting back out there with the guys, getting to compete again, it's just back in football season."

Q: You got a taste of it last year, getting on the field a little bit more. How much do you want more of that this season, trying to push for that starting spot?

Vick: "Really, more than anything. Everybody wants to be a starter, but it depends on what your process is every day. I just try to stay process-oriented and just attack every day."

Q: What has that competition kind of been like over the summer and now going into camp, where you guys are all fighting for the same snap?

Vick: "The competition was great all summer. We brought in new DBs, brought in Brian. We already had guys coming up, so a couple guys. Everybody's stepping up, competing, pushing the guy in front of them, and that's what we want."

Q: How good could this back four or back five be? Can you guys lock down some of the better teams in the country?

Vick: "I feel like this is probably one of the better back ends I've seen since I've been here altogether, and just in the leadership piece, too."

Q: Who do you like the most?

Vick: "I'd say (Devon Marshall). There are so many voices: Devon, (JJ Johnson), (Renté Hilton), me. You can go any way. Jaren (Sensabaugh). So many guys competing, ready to step into that leadership role."

Q: So even though y'all lost a lot of starters, it sounds like you're not concerned about a drop-off this season, right?

Vick: "No, I'm not at all. Not at all."

Q: What was it like to see (Brian Nelson II) out there on the field for the first time?

Vick: "He looked good. It felt good to watch him get out there on the outside. He looked real good."
