Its amazing. The mountains are huge out there. It was nice seeing all that. (I liked) the city itself. There was a lot of people in the city, so I know the stadiums going to be packed.

(Pruitt) just reminded me that they want me down there, that they just need some players, Flowers said. Everythings going to work out good for them.

They were telling me my versatility will help me out a lot, because they can do a lot of different things with me in the backfield. They were seeing I can come in, work hard, (and) Id have a good chance of starting, just beating out the competition things like that.
