Then with the recruiting process talking with coaches, talking to Coach Saban, I mean, he liked my skillset, how physical I am, so he wanted me at corner, so I couldn't do anything about it. I just had to control that and just work on the technique. Just play -- I guess just play. Not to much to say about it.
