TRANSCRIPTS/MEDIA CALLS

Emmanuel Butler, WR

Butler's second season with New Orleans.  He was a training camp star, but fell short within the preseason games.  He remained on the team's practice squad.

What's the biggest thing or most significant thing you learned from last year?
"I feel like the most significant thing that I learned is just the way that you have to prepare to be able to be successful at this level. Just everything that goes into game week, everything that goes into the offseason, everything that goes into studying and being on your A-game really. Just the preparation that it takes to be the best ultimately and to be the best team, to be the best player that I can be. I feel like that is really where I learned a lot, just learning about how much it takes to reach the goals that I want to reach."

Joe Lombardi, Saints Quarterbacks Coach

Can you tell us about Jameis Winston's development, just what you've seen from the last time we talked to you and getting all this field work the last two weeks?
"Yeah, he just keeps getting better and more comfortable and playing faster, playing fast and playing smart. And it's good to see he's doing well."
