1. What is the first thing you look for once you’ve caught the ball on a return? Is it something you just feel or can you actually see the holes opening for a split second?

It’s a little bit of both. It’s something that I can feel, but I also feel that I have good vision to see things before they happen.

2. What type of speed-training regiment do you follow in the offseason?

I just work on the basic techniques and the proper way of running; trying to keep your form, being more relaxed and not tensing up when you’re running, and make sure you’re lifting your legs and not straining too much on your hamstrings.

3. Who is your best friend on the Bears?

There are four that are even: Jason McKie, Mark Bradley, Tommie Harris and Garrett Wolfe.

4. How has playing professional football changed your life?

It’s given me more opportunities as far as my lifestyle and allowed me to experience things I never imagined I would experience. With wealth, I can do pretty much what I want. But you’ve got to provide a good example because you have a lot of people that look up to you now.

5. Do you see yourself playing your entire career with the Bears?
Yes, I do.

6. What do you think you need to do to become a complete receiver in the NFL?

I just need to get more repetition. The more opportunity I get, the better I feel I’ll get.

7. What type of music do you listen to while warming up before games?

A lot of hip-hop—I like Little Wayne—and a little R&B.

8. What’s your favorite thing to watch on television?

I like to watch NFL Network.

9. If you had your pick of any position on the field, which one would you choose to play?

I’d want to play a little quarterback. I think that would slow down the pass rush. They’d try to force me to throw the ball.

10. Do you get angry or frustrated when opponents try to keep the ball out of your hands with squib kicks?

A little of both, but at the same time, they’re showing that they respect me.
