Three of Miami's top four receivers met with reporters after practice. They provided the latest after a week of camp:
Receiver Samuel Brown, Jr.
On how he’s felt after the first week of camp:
“I feel healthy, feel fast. Year five. I was coming into camp thinking my body was going to be worn down, but I’ve just been taking care of my body a lot more, just being in the training room, being around the facility. And when you’re around, you kind of get acclimated.”
On what it’s been like getting to know and work with receivers coach Kevin Beard:
“It’s been great. He is getting to know me a little bit more. I’m getting to know him. … At first, it was a feeling out, but now, it’s like I trust him, and he trusts me. So, we come to each other with open eyes and open ears.”
Receiver Jacolby George
On the chemistry in the receivers room:
“We all have a great chemistry. We all go out to practice and do stuff on the off days. Cam [Ward] has everybody in the building when we don’t have to be in the building. We all just like getting extra work together and that just brings us all closer together.”
On what makes quarterback Cam Ward different:
“I feel like we have an NFL quarterback at Miami right now. He’s great. Like, that’s the quarterback everybody would ask for and we have him.”
On what he’s looking forward to about Saturday’s scrimmage:
“I’m looking forward to putting on a show.”
Receiver Isaiah Horton
On the competition between the receivers and defensive backs early in camp:
“Competition’s been great. From across the board, from [Jadais Richard] to Daryl Porter, Jr. to [Damari Brown], all the guys. They’ve given us the equal amount of competition. They’re all different corners, so you know you’re going to get different looks, different presses, different techniques, but great competition. Exactly what we need.”
On the competition in the receivers group:
“Great competition. We keep each other going every day. We motivate each other. We’re pushing each other to be better. … We understand how it’s going to go, and we just want everybody to be good and we’re not trying to be selfish about it. We understand how it’s going to go.”
On how he wants to build on his successful spring now that camp is here:
“Just consistency. I don’t want to get complacent. I don’t want to, since I had a good spring, get relaxed. I want to keep going. I want to be better. I want to be great. I have my teammates inside the receiver room – Sam Brown, he just got here, he’s motivating me; Jacolby George, he’s been motivating me; Xavier Restrepo, he’s been motivating me. Even Cam Ward, since he got here, they’ll [all] get on me, but they’re motivating me to be the best I can be because they see the potential inside of me.”
On what it’s meant to work with receivers coach Kevin Beard:
“He’s helped ever since he got here. He saw my potential and said something to me – I’m not really going to say [what it was] – but he said something to me that stuck with me, and he’s been on me hard, coaching me hard. But off the field, he loves me. We talk. Coach has been great to me.”
