LaVar Arrington Opportunity Quotations

I felt a whole lot of stuff. I'm overwhelmed in this experience, ... I'm happy the coaching staff gave me the opportunity to go out there and help. I just want to be a part, and it feels good.

Playing on Sunday will be an accomplishment because it has been such a long road, ... However much I play, however they use me, whatever I do, I'm just going to be happy that I'm out there. I'm not concerned about starting. I just want to be a part of it. I'm grateful to even have an opportunity again to get out there with those guys.

That was pretty cool, huh? ... I was thinking, 'Wow, I'm really in here.' It was a great deal. Man, I had an opportunity to be a part of what I've been a part of for so many years. It was nice getting back out there on a regular basis.

Where all that stuff gets started, I have no idea. Maybe it's because of the style of play where, even if I'm on one side of the field, if I have an opportunity I'm going to try to make the play on the other side. I just know I'm going 100% and playing the best I can.

It would mean a whole lot, ... to have an opportunity to try and help dictate the pace of a game from the time it starts.

It's hard being a leader for so long and being a focal point for so long, ... and then it kind of abruptly stops. It's nice to be back in the mix, and it's also nice not to have 'The Player' pressure on me anymore. It's on other guys this year, so it's going to give me an opportunity possibly to just go out here and play and let the other people have that kind of attention.

It's also nice not to have 'THE PLAYER' pressure on me anymore. It's on other guys this year. It's going to give me an opportunity to go ahead and play and let the other people have that type of attention.

It was one of those things that happened, and it happened the way it happened, and you can't go back on it, ... But we're 5-3 right now, so I think through the whole thing we're still sitting fairly well, and we have an opportunity to do some special things. So it didn't hurt us too bad if it was a distraction, hopefully.
