On thoughts about first day of practice) "Different from college. Up-tempo. As soon as I touched the field I knew it was different. It was different than the heat and humidity at Illinois around this time."

(On when the last time he was on the field) "The last game of the season (at Illinois) since we didn't make a bowl game."

(On his first impressions after picking off a pass during practice) "It was good. My first pick up here for the Miami Dolphins. It gave me a good feeling that I could play out here anytime with anybody."

(On knocking a player down during practice and if he was trying to set a physical tone) "No. I actually got in trouble for that. Coach Sparano doesn't want anybody on the ground and I got in trouble for doing that. Coach Sparano motto is to keep players up so it was my fault for knocking them down. I got in trouble for that."

I am glad to see that he's abandoned referring to himself in the 3rd person.
 
kind of disappointed there was no third person usage in the interview. hopefully he'll be a stud this year.
 
This is from the media conference after the first practise, video footage is available from the offish website.

Some other nice interviews on there.

Vontae comes over as a very confident young man. He is clearly loving all the attention. The likelyhood of him busting on confidence issues is pretty much 0. You can completely tell where the attitude rumours come from though. One thing's for sure, there's no way TO and Randy Moss are gonna talk him out of a game.

Check out the Sean Smith interview, he comes over as a much more humble guy, talks about his background as a receiver and generally seems a lot more in awe of being an NFL player and a Dolphin. He seems like a good guy.
