Josh Downs, wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts, now entering his second year.

And Josh, appreciate the time.

I know it's a busy time.

I'll get right to the first question, which is, this feels different for you than entering

your rookie year in what way?

For me, it's different.

Well, last year I was first off of a little knee issue, so I wasn't even doing OTAs last year at this time.

So, for one, blessed to be healthy and being able to participate in these team activities.

And then two, just like you said, different, going into a bigger role, knowing the coaches better, knowing my quarterback better.

They trust me more, me trusting myself more.

So more so feeling myself out this year.

Pits's not out there right now, but AD is making good strides.

You got dudes like DJ Montgomery playing well, Anthony Gould.

So, yeah, we all, basically year two in this offense, a lot of us.

And you can just see it out there when we play.

Josh, at what point last year did you feel confident in your knowledge of the playbook?

A lot of times, rookies will say, especially at the wide receiver position,

that the complexity combined with the nuance of life at wide out in the NFL

can take a little bit of a learning curve for rookies

to grasp.

At what point did you feel like that you had the proper knowledge base of Stain Stuyken's

offense?
