Q: I know you visited with the Saints during this process. How do you feel like you fit in with this team considering on defense, they’ve had two starting safeties for a little while?

A: “I’m excited to come down there and play. It was my last visit and I just had a really good feeling walking out of there that I might be a Saint. I’m excited to get down there and play some football.”

Q: How do you feel like you will fit in with this defense?
A: “I’m versatile (and) I can do a lot of different things. I don’t think I have a lot of limitations. I can cover and (handle) run support so I think I can bring that to the team.”

Q: You played both free and strong safety at Texas. Do you know how the Saints plan to use you?

A: “I don’t even know. I plan on doing whatever they tell me to do.”

Q: Throughout this process how much were the Saints in touch with you?
A: “My agent usually does all the talking to the teams and stuff, but yes they showed interest the whole process and the visit went really well for me so I had a good feeling.”

Q: What are some of the things you need to work on?

A: “I think you can always get better as far as tackling technique the way the rules are changing. You have to fit guys in different areas, so you have to change your technique. But like I said, I’ve perfected my craft and my goal is to be the most complete safety I can be and I think I have gotten to that point.”

Q: You only had five interceptions in three years at Texas, was that more because offenses were throwing away from you or the system at Texas?

A: “I was always the nickel and a lot of times when maybe an interception was thrown (it was) because I was locking up the slot receiver on the other side of the field. I actually got offered a spot as a receiver when I first got there so my ball skills are pretty good and I think that’s the reason.”

Q: What were your impressions of Rob Ryan?
A: “We talked a little bit at lunch and I just told my agent that I would love to come and play for him. We hit it off. He is a high energy guy, laid back, but takes football seriously and that’s the type of person I am to the team.”
