A lot of wide receivers, they always run their routes at 100% speed. As a DB, that allows you to get a feel for how you need to play them.
I watched a lot of Jerry Rice's film just to learn how to run routes, but it was so difficult to imitate him, and he didn't play with the same body language that I wanted to play with.
My game is not always built off speed, it's just my craft to where I can run routes and get in-and-out of my breaks as a big guy keeps me at a consistent level for a long time.
Anytime I can get into a situation in which I'm running routes, I love it. I mean, I'd go out in the streets and just run some routes.
In a 100-miler, anything can happen. Speed isn't your biggest thing, you need to learn how to mentally get through it. It is very mental.
My reads, operation with the offense, timing with the receivers, routes, sitting in the pocket, trusting my line - everything is always a work in progress.
They're human beings before they're footballers and it's important to understand how can I help them. What do they need? How can they feel part of this? How can they feel they're improving in their career, because my job is to help them get better, play better football, earn a better contract, whatever it is.
You play against receivers, they're in one play and then they'll put somebody else in, run you deep and get you tired. Then they'll put their starters back in.
These Seattle Seahawks wide receivers have been called pedestrian, they've been called no-namers, but they always come up with the big play.
I feel like I've done Pete Hornberger, and that is a painting I have signed, and I don't need to play that character anymore. So I'll get offers for panicky, pathetic guys, and while it's a great compliment to get them, I feel like I don't need to play that again.
It's not easy, but I play with my body, and I can feel how important it is to get 100 percent fit to play. This is an important thing to play in the Premier League.
Darren Campbell, the British Olympic sprinter, was my sprint coach at Middlesbrough - yet the best advice he gave me was to slow down. That might sound strange but he said: 'You have too much speed - you don't always need to run at 100 per cent.' I was used to running flat out every time, but he told me, 'You know how quick you are, slow down.'
Acting was a lot like football. When you're a DB and you're one on one with a receiver, you're going to dance. It's go-time in front of 100,000 people and everybody watching on TV. That's exactly how it is when a director says 'Action!' It's the same adrenaline rush, the same training process. I love it.
A lot of the routes cornerbacks have to defend are quick underneath routes, so it's tougher to get a chance to track the ball on those.
Some receivers are like sports cars: they have a lot of speed and flair. Me, I'm like an old pickup truck. I just bounce around and try to get the job done.
Guys have been having a lot of questions about whether or not I can play man-to-man, so I've been watching a lot of film lately. I'm trying to study tendencies of receivers that are already in the NFL, so I can have a jump on them once I get to that next level l so I can know what to look for and what to be prepared for.
Based on my experience; I would develop fast speed before anything else. Get your young runners so they can run and teach them speed.
