On what drew him to be a part of the Commanders defense:
"I think what drew me to be part of this group was the leadership from [Head Coach] Dan Quinn, [Defensive Coordinator] Joe Witt and [Defensive Pass Game Coordinator] Jason Simmons. Obviously, you know that with those three coaches in the past, they developed corners. I think that at this point in my career, I know that I have an extra level to reach and I thought that with them being teamed up with them, I could reach that level."
On if he is starting to see the coaches bring that extra level out of him:
"Yes, I am because every day at practice they put us in uncomfortable positions and they always stress that you gotta be comfortable being uncomfortable. So being in uncomfortable positions allows us to grow and just to excel."
On an example of an uncomfortable position the coaches have put him in:
"Like for example, I don't know if you guys noticed, but I love the press. I'm a press corner. So, every day I practice, they are like Michael, like we want you to go press, like you gotta consistently go out and perfect your craft, keep pressing. No matter the situation, keep pressing and sometimes in certain scenarios, in my head, it might feel like I don't wanna go press, but in the back of my mind it's like if I go up and press and challenge myself, it'll make me better."
On how he is viewing the competition between the cornerbacks during training camp:
"All I can do is control what I can control. I mean, all I can do is focus on myself and let everything else play out."
