Highlights from Devontez Walker Q&A with The Baltimore Banner

How do you think your first year in the NFL went?

"Really, my process in going in, knowing what to do and stuff like that, first year, the systems I came from in college, getting in the NFL huddle and stuff like that, a lot of stuff was foreign to me — the play-calling stuff. So I was constantly out there thinking. I couldn't play my fastest and stuff like that. So I felt like that kind of held me back a little bit. Now I'm a little more dialed in, knowing what to do ... and I'm able to go out there and be a football player and play fast."

When you think of how Tez Walker wins as an X receiver in the NFL, what do you realize about your game now and the margins for error that you have?

"I realize how much speed affects a lot of people. Even with our guys, they may change up how they play me and stuff, so I try to use that to my advantage. So my thought process is, 'Speed, speed, and when it's time to hit the brakes, hit it,' and stuff like that. So that's really my thing. So speed is still my outlet when I need to."

Is there anything that you've picked up on from watching DeAndre Hopkins, who's won so often as an X receiver?
