Q. What's the difference from year one to year two?
BREVIN JORDAN: I would say just my knowledge of the game, just being able to read coverages. My whole goal this off-season was to get bigger, stronger, faster, being a bigger tight end, and that's what I've been working on the whole off-season.
Q. Anything specifically? Did you gain weight?
BREVIN JORDAN: I didn't gain no weight but I definitely feel like I've lost body fat. We do scans and stuff all the time, leaning out. I've got abs now. I'm doing something. I've got abs but last time I had abs I want to say I was in seventh grade when I played basketball. Now I've got them a little bit. I can go to the pool and flex them a little bit.
Q. How much has Pharaoh Brown from a year ago --
BREVIN JORDAN: Dude is a pro, the way he approaches the game, I mean, he's very knowledgeable, he helps me out on the field like if I have a question, I can ask him and he knows exactly what I got, what he has to do, the dude is spectacular honestly.
Q. Did you see the work he's put in in the off-season, how he came into training camp?
BREVIN JORDAN: The dude, he's taking strides in all aspects of knowing the game and taking better care of his body and doing everything. I'm excited for what we can do this year.
Q. Pep's offense, a lot of new learning and different roles that you have --
BREVIN JORDAN: I love it. I'm excited. Everywhere Pep has been it shows that the tight ends are very valuable in his offense. So just tune in -- we've won, tune in. I'm excited.
Q. They have you moving a lot. How exciting is that? Seems like you're more of a part of things.
BREVIN JORDAN: It's awesome. It's a big challenge, obviously, because I have to be able to move all over the field being in the backfield, being out wide, being the slot, I'm excited. So when the time comes to show us on game days, you are guys are going to see I'm going to be all over the field.
Q. Where do you feel like your --
BREVIN JORDAN: I've got a long way to go. The game we play is constant I am approximate and constantly trying to get better so that's the main thing for me. There's no stagnancy with run blocking or pass blocking. You have to continue to get better and make strides in it.
Q. What is it about the run game -- are you seeing that sore --
BREVIN JORDAN: It's awesome. Them boys be moving, be sliding. For me that's as good as me catching a 15-yard pass and it's just as good for me seeing them run down the field. It's awesome. I think them boys got wheels, so I think them boys are hitting their strides.
Q. What did you take away from Oregon --
BREVIN JORDAN: I just -- we had a lot of camaraderie, just being able to go out there because we're always in the building and seeing guys focused on what they have to do football-wise. For us to go to Oregon -- we were playing hours of spicy Uno, I was out there fishing, I loved Oregon, I loved it.
A couple fish got away from me, I don't know what was going on. I don't know if the hook was too small or what it was but I was out there casting them, Bro, it was crazy.
Q. When did you start fishing?
BREVIN JORDAN: I started fishing when I was four years old. It's been a part of my life since I was a youngin. My grandfather used to take me all the time to Utah, Arizona just cranking them.
Q. What areas have you seen him grow in and how you've built your chemistry?
BREVIN JORDAN: In all aspects, Davis, his body has changed, had I IQ of being able to recognize coverages, our whole growth I feel like is a year or two group, just the development all of us, our bodies have changed, we're understanding the game is slowing down for all of us, I'm excited for all of us.
Q. You talk about growing up against rookie Jalen Pitre?
BREVIN JORDAN: That guy is a dog. I'm excited for him. He's instinctual, he plays fast and he's already out there making plays. I think the dude has probably had three interceptions from OTAs until now. He's balling.
Q. How is --
BREVIN JORDAN: LT, dog. He's out there flying around. I'm excited our whole year two group, we have taken the challenge to step up and be contributors to this team so I think that's just a chip on all of our shoulders that we have to come with.
Q. You talk about fishing, would you rather be on a lake or deep sea fishing?
BREVIN JORDAN: So when I was in Miami, I used to do a lot of deep-sea fishing but I'm scared of sharks and jellyfish, I'm not cool with none of that. Personally, throw me in a lake but I like both.
Q. What's the biggest fish you caught?
BREVIN JORDAN: I caught, I want to say 120-pound tuna. And that tuna has got a fight to him. I love deep-sea fishing.
Q. What did you do with it?
BREVIN JORDAN: What did we do with it? Recipes that have tuna.
Q. What was the biggest sacrifice you had to make to get in shape? You mentioned abs and stuff like that?
BREVIN JORDAN: Definitely the way I eat.
Q. What specifically did you have to give up?
BREVIN JORDAN: I'm a fat kid, honestly. I'm a fat kid so give me some In-N-Out Burger, McDonald's -- I was 21 years old eating like a child. So just being at a pro level, you can't eat like that because you come out here and feel it.
Q. Does Mack seem more intense than last season?
BREVIN JORDAN: I would say it's more so the competition that I have with myself. Last year I was a rookie and kind of a deer in the headlights figuring things out. This year I know I have to come out here and make plays, that's my job. That's just more so the level of competition that I have on myself.
Q. You talked about the year two guys -- how important is it to know that that's a class that started -- since you guys came in --
BREVIN JORDAN: That's awesome. Like you said, I'm excited. I mean, I'm excited. Just the opportunity that we all five of us have to come in and contribute, the other four they contribute right away so for all of us to develop and have that chip on our shoulders, we know that, and this team they are counting on us to make plays so I'm excited for all of us.
Q. The big change in route, where have you seen --
BREVIN JORDAN: Same with Davis, him just being able to recognize coverage, play faster, his body, he's getting stocky. Just all of it, man, all of us are taking that step to change our bodies to understand coverages, to know the playbook and just be pros at the end of the day.
Q. I have to ask about you about the Miami --
BREVIN JORDAN: Honestly I'm happy about it. It's not that I didn't like it. I loved it. I loved the idea of it but --
Q. Got carried away -
BREVIN JORDAN: We got to win games. That's the main thing, we got to win games.
Q. Have you always been into fishing?
BREVIN JORDAN: My whole life. I've got pictures of me like four years old catching bluegill -- I haven't been down here fishing yet because my life has revolved around football. I don't have no friends either. Can y'all get back to the team and tell them I need somebody to go fishing with.
Q. Would you agree that that helps in your camaraderie --
BREVIN JORDAN: How I am was honestly was just handed down by me from my mom, so I think just how I am is how I am. But my teammates definitely allow me to be myself because without my teammates and stuff I wouldn't be able to be funny and be -- because I would be all serious and tensed up. That's a big up to my guys.
Q. Do you have a picture of the tuna?
BREVIN JORDAN: I do, I'll send it to you.
Q. Can you talk about having Coach Lovie Smith becoming the head coach and having that consistency so that way you all don't have to go through a new coach?
BREVIN JORDAN: That was awesome. When he got the job, I was back home in Vegas and you can ask my mom, on my own grave, I was so hyped. I started sweating, like I was like, let's get it, baby, because Lovie Smith, you have the utmost respect by the way carries himself. He's so soft-toned, you can sit there and talk with him. I was so excited to get him as our head coach.
Q. Growing up in Las Vegas, did that make you more quiet --
BREVIN JORDAN: Not necessarily, you can meet a couple of my Las Vegas friends, they are quiet. It's just the way I am.
Q. Growing up in that area, does that make it easier --
BREVIN JORDAN: Maybe, like I said, just my mom, she blessed me with her personality, my mom and dad.
