Blackwell: "I have to say my coaching and the guys around me make me the player that I am. We all play off one another, and my coach puts me in the right spots to make the plays. I am probably best at stopping the run. I am not the fastest guy. I am best down inside, so I can help stuff the run. I'm a good hole-filler. This summer I really want to work on my speed. I need to get a little faster." |
