"I think definitely I love playing corner," Long said. "I'm really raw at the position. I haven't had too much experience. Last year was only my first year playing cornerback. So to get around someone like Coach Akina would be great, just for me to really get my reps up and have someone tell me what's right and what's wrong, especially if there's someone who has put out a lot of guys and been around talent. On the other side of the ball, I get to really utilize my athleticism. I'm pretty sure he'll utilize my speed a lot in the slot and return man. Either way I think it's a good deal. I think it would be best for me to start off on defense but if it rolls the other way I'm perfectly fine with that. I'm just ready to help the team out."
