Well that was a really good read. He is saying a lot of things that I like to hear from a propect. I was VERY disappointed in his season last year...but he sounds very self-aware...this quote in particular.
He admits here that he thought he was better and more ready than he actually was at the time. That attitude hurt him tremendously. However, if he learns the lesson properly, he will come out the better for it.
Will be interesting to see how he comes into camp, his shape and his attitude.
