Antonio Gibson said the place he felt the linger effects of his turf toe the most was when he made cuts. Now, that isn’t an issue and he’s continuing to work on his fundamentals as a runner

Antonio Gibson says he doesn’t watch too many other people’s tape. Says he was one of the best route runners in this backfield in J.D. McKissic, and he watches what he does on film and studies that

Antonio Gandy-Golden said he decided to get the vaccine recently after being an initial holdout. He had covid last year so he figured he didn’t need it, but he said having more information available caused him to change his mind. He didn’t want to get sick again.

Washington WR Antonio Gandy-Golden had covid-19 last offseason and said he just recently got vaccinated. He had some interesting comments today about the virus, the vaccine and the NFL’s protocols: pic.twitter.com/lmtr87UInM

Just had a really fun (and in person!) catchup with AGG. 3 notes:

-He and Logan are from same area, when AGG goes to orthodontist, they all ask if he knows 82
-He has an 11-month old puppy named Staxx
-He’s thriving on back shoulder throws, which he says he excelled at in school

Antonio Gandy-Golden just chatted with a few of us. Some highlights:

* Discussed his growth and that he’s far more comfortable now than entering camp last year.

* He recently decided to get the vaccine

* He’s got an 11-month old golden doodle named Staxx.

WJ3 is addressing the media. Said Landon Collins is a natural leader.

William Jackson III said that it’s been fun going up against Terry McLaurin. He said the two of them talk (real low) because he know folks can hear the trash talk. It’s good having two players of a high caliber competing against one another

CB William Jackson III said that WR Terry McLaurin is “way better” now than when they faced each other when he was with Cincinnati. He mentioned that they both are making each other daily by competing. #WFT #WashingtonFootballteam #NFLTrainingCamp pic.twitter.com/TtaOWYjnCT

William Jackson III said in terms of the seconday — which has a few new parts — gelling with one another, they do things together that folks don’t know about to help build that camaraderie we seen on the field

Jackson said Kam Curl has been flying around the field in practice. Can’t really judge how he played last year for obvious reasons, but he’s been impressed with what he’s seen so far.

“They talk a little bit.”

A little bit? @john_keim asked

“I exaggerate, they talk a lot,” William Jackson said with a laugh when discussing Chase Young and Montez Sweat. He loves it

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 2, 2021

William Jackson said that the trash talking does help with throwing someone off their game, and he knows he’s succeeded when they starting talking back to him

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 2, 2021

William Jackson III played against A.J. Green for years, and said he’d talk to him and Green would just shrug and say, “OK.”

He said the guys that don’t talk trash back are the scary ones

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 2, 2021

Jackson said Chris Harris is a great coach to work with. He goes down to the small details, and you need that as a player.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) August 2, 2021

William Jackson III is enjoying the daily battle with Ryan Fitzpatrick. @Mitch_Tischler asked WJ3 for his thoughts on Fitz, and he told a story about being tired, Fitz noticing and saying “Well, I’m coming after you on the next play”

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) August 2, 2021

William Jackson III, on Washington’s defensive line: “It’s been great just to play behind those guys. All of them guys are first-round talents, they get after the quarterback. So it’s making my job easier for a change.”

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 2, 2021

Also talked to Bobby McCain, who finished with a funny line by comparing Ashburn to Miami. He said “Eh, there’s really nothing to do here,” which he likes because he can focus more on football without distractions like the beach, etc
