       CORNERBACK VERNON HARGREAVES III
       
       (On how comfortable he is playing inside)
       “I’m fairly comfortable. Not all the way comfortable as I am
       outside. It’s new – new position, new techniques and things I
       need to learn, so it’s a learning process, but I’m enjoying it.”
       
       (On if he enjoys mixing it up as the inside corner)
       “Oh yeah. The closer you are to the ball, the more times you can
       touch the ball, so I’m happy about moving inside, of course.”
       
       (On if any teammate has taken him under their wing)
       “You know, we have a group of great vets. All of the guys in the
       locker room, they all take care of the rookies extremely well.
       They’re not steering us wrong. We have no egos on this team,
       that’s one thing I did notice. Not a lot of egos and just guys
       that really care for one another and guys that want to win.”
       
       (On what he has learned from cornerbacks Brent Grimes and
       Alterraun Verner about being an undersized corner)
       “It’s more than just being athletic. Those guys are extremely
       smart. They know what’s coming before it’s coming and that’s why
       they’re good and that’s why they are who they are, that’s why
       they’re Pro Bowlers. Just learning from them, taking bits of
       information from them every day, staying in their ear, staying
       [on] their hip, bugging them, and keep asking them questions.
       That’s how I learn the best and that’s what I’m doing and
       they’re doing a great job of helping me.”
       
       (On the benefit of lining up against the receivers at practice)
       “We have big receivers, small receivers, fast receivers – it’s
       great. This is what I need to become the best player I can
       become.”
       
       (On what he needs to do before training camp)
       “You have to stay in shape, you have to stay in that football
       shape, you have to stay hydrated. You know, taking care of your
       body. That’s the biggest thing, taking care of your body because
       that’s what’s going to get you through those 17 weeks.”
       
       (On if he’s tired of people talking about his size)
       “They can keep talking about it, it’s all good. It doesn’t
       bother me.”
       
       (On the benefit of getting away from One Buc for a few weeks)
       “It’s not really away for me. I live 30 minutes away from here
       [laughs]. It’s going to be great, these six weeks off, but like
       I said, you still have to stay focused, even when I’m off from
       work. It’s going to be fun though. A nice relaxing time for a
       little bit, hanging out with the fam. Kind of take it all in for
       a little bit then it’s back to training camp.”
       
       (On what it means to him to already be making plays in practice)
       “That’s what they drafted me for. I’m supposed to make plays.
       Not necessarily too big of a deal, I just have to keep making
       them.”
