We had something going at the end of last season and I’m ready to get started on continuing that. I’m glad to be back out here and playing.<p> <br /> <b>How’s your role going to change with Percy Harvin moving on to the NFL?</b><br /> It won’t change much. Percy’s a great player, and you don’t just replace him that easy. It’s going to take a bunch of people stepping up to replace someone like that. I’m just one of those guys.<p> <b>They say that you’re one of the fastest football players in the country. Let’s say you’re in a race, running with the wind. Who would win: you ... or the wind?</b><br /> (Long pause to laugh) The wind, man, because that’s the wind. You can’t beat the wind.<p> <b>Now that you have a season at Florida under your belt and you’ve made a few road trips, who has the worst visitor’s locker room that you’ve seen.</b><br /> Vanderbilt. It’s like a room with some little chairs. That’s it. I mean, there’s no lockers or anything, just the chairs. They aren’t comfortable chairs, either.<p> <b>What’s your biggest fear?</b><br /> Dying. Nobody wants to die, man. I don’t think about it all the time, but that would be my biggest fear.<br />
