Giants WR Corey Washington sits down for an interview.

Q: What did you do this offseason to prepare yourself for Year Two and did you take any lessons from your rookie year?

A: I took a lot of lessons from my rookie year. I went to the offseason and worked on my craft. I went down to Greenville, South Carolina to work out at TNT with Jordan Reeves and he got me right and the team has been working on everything to get me where I am at now.
 
Q: Do you feel like you have made strides on special teams after kind of getting a taste of that experience last year?

A: Yeah, everything has slowed down now so I am getting adjusted to everything and working on me, working on my craft and helping the team out.
 
Q: Corey, what did you learn last year throughout the whole season?

A: Trust, gaining the coaches’ trust and the quarterback’s trust.  Just taking everything day by day and not rushing it.
 
Q: Last year at this time I am sure you were hoping for a spot. Do you see a role now?

A: I am not going to speak too fast, but coach is using me a lot down in the red zone, green zone area, so I figure I can come in [as the] fourth receiver [and in] goal line and the red zone.
 
Q: What is your confidence level that you can do that at this level?

A: My confidence level is high. I am gaining Eli’ s trust and coach’s trust and he is throwing me out there with the ones, so I just have got to continue to work and keep it up.
 
Q: Did you feel that coming into this offseason you had to earn the coaches’ trust all over again?

A: Oh yeah, I came from Newbury. You probably know where Newbury [is]. I have got to show the coaches that I’m going to keep working and gaining their trust. Like I said, gaining Eli’s trust and coach’s trust to throw me out there to help this team win games.
 
Q: How do you tell when you have Eli’s trust or if it’s growing?

A: How do I tell? [If the ball] keeps coming my way.
 
Q: You are sensing more opportunities for yourself this year. You said you are getting some reps with the ones. You didn’t really get those last year if I remember?

A: No, he was just easing me in and not throwing me out there. Let Odell and those guys take off and then we just sit back watch and learn from those guys.
