BREVIN JORDAN: See guys who are like 6'2", 6'3", outrunning safeties and corners. So I think they're the most diverse position on the field.
Q. How long did it take to figure out Tim Kelly, would you say?
BREVIN JORDAN: I'm still figuring him out. I'm still learning the offense.
Q. How long did it take to figure out he's kind of a king of play callers?
BREVIN JORDAN: From day one, from OTAs. Just the way he talks, how deliberate he is, to what he's trying to get across, his messages. You can just see it from just being around him.
Q. (Inaudible question)?
BREVIN JORDAN: Whew, blocking is hard in the NFL. That's probably the biggest adjustment I've had to deal with. I'm blocking guys like Chuck, and man, those dudes are so big. They're so long. I'm slowly getting into the groove of it. As I'm going throughout the process, I'm getting better at it.
Q. What challenge has Chuck kind of given you?
BREVIN JORDAN: Dude, he's like 6'8", his arms are freakishly long. But it's a fun process. It's fun to see yourself get better throughout camp.
Q. What does it mean to you to be such a red zone opportunist for the quarterback?
BREVIN JORDAN: The tight end position overall, we're red zone guys. We're big on that. My job right now is learning the offense and slowly getting accustomed to the team and earning my guys' trust. That's the main thing right now.
Q. Where do you see the similarities between you and Akins?
BREVIN JORDAN: I think the size similarity obviously is a little bit similar. Jordan is just a vet. He has the tools to be an All Pro tight end. The way he moves his head, the way he moves his hips, his shoulders, how tenacious he is coming out of his routes, that dude is a problem. He's going to be a problem in the NFL for a long time.
Q. Do you see similarities with him?
BREVIN JORDAN: I see similarities because of size similarities. Overall, the dude, he got overall. He got it.
Q. Do you train last spring with Tripp Hill (phonetic)?
BREVIN JORDAN: Yeah, Tripp Hill (phonetic) is crazy, if you know him. We're out on the track at 8:00 a.m. just running lots of 110s and stuff, but Houston is different. The humidity, it's a little different. It ain't like Vegas. Vegas is just hot. I walk out, it's like an oven. You come out here and get in the shower and start sweating again. Out here it's a little different.
Q. Do you have to carry towels to interviews?
BREVIN JORDAN: That's why I've got this towel on me right now. I'd be sweating crazy.
Q. What are some things in your blocking you feel you need to refine?
BREVIN JORDAN: Overall, everything. My hand placement, bringing in my hips, keep my base steady, just everything, all aspects of being a better tight end.
Q. What do you hope to show in your first NFL game?
BREVIN JORDAN: That I know what I'm doing. Just go out there and learning the offense, just playing clean, make no MEs.
Q. Do you find you have to hydrate more?
BREVIN JORDAN: Every morning. I mean, I have a routine. You get to the NFL, you get a routine. But every morning I'm drinking coconut water, I'm drinking electrolytes, two bottles of water, juice. The way you have to hydrate out here to come out here and perform at the highest level, you have to be hydrated.
Q. How do you see yourself like play off of the wide receivers? Like how do you feel like the relationship is between tight ends and this offense?
BREVIN JORDAN: Our job is to catch the ball. Their job is to catch the ball, but our job overall is to go out and catch the ball. We definitely rely on each other. If I have a question, I could ask cooks, like where do I line up over here or vice versa. We all help each other out. The relationship between wide receivers and tight ends is very close.
Q. Do you give each other good matchups? Do you personally help each other out in that way?
BREVIN JORDAN: Absolutely.
Q. Which veteran has taken on the lead to show you the NFL?
BREVIN JORDAN: Definitely Jordan Akins. The dude is a pro. He's showing me how to get a routine. He's showing me a lot of different ways to get open, learning about blocking. He's brought me under his wing, and he's showing me like, this is how you do it. If you want to be great in this league, if you play in this league for a long time, this is how you're going to have to do it.
