New York Jets Quotes - LB David Harris

June 15th

On possibility of holding out…
I’m just worried about playing football.

On overcoming previous injuries to become a key component of Jets defense…
It feels good. I’m very excited with what we do with the defense behind the cameras and off the field, so on Sunday we’re all together and play well together. We led the league in a lot of defensive categories and are always trying to improve. With guys like Kris Jenkins coming back and new additions like Antonio Cromartie, Brodney Pool, and Jason Taylor, there’s only one way for us to go, and that’s up.

On coming into his own as a player…
I have a little better understanding of the game of football on this level, pretty much just by watching film and (doing) little things. With Rex’s (Ryan) system, all defensive players love playing for him.

On when it all started to come together for him as a player…
It’s kind of hard to say. I try to improve every day, no matter what it is. That’s the only way, I think, to approach football, to try and get better.

On whether injuries hurt his development…
In my second year, I missed five games. I tore my groin, pulled my hamstring in camp, broke my leg (in) the last game of the season. That’s part of football. Every one of us has a war story, so that was mine. I’m healthy now, 100 percent, and glad to be back out there helping the defense.
