He said Vonn has been a sort of mentor to him so he was really excited to see the news he was coming back to Cincinnati

Quote:"That's what I've been trying to do my whole career. Be a leader, be a communicator on the field. A defense that's obnoxious is great. You know, everyone's on the same page and if you're all wrong, you're all right. So that's the main thing. I want to be a leader on the field and a leader in the locker room."

LOVE IT! 

Keeping everyone on the same page will do wonders for this defense! I love that he's excited to be a part of this defense and do all kinds of different things!

Quote:"I think of myself as a ballhawk," Stone said. "Watching their film already. I see myself fitting this defense really well. I see myself down in the box. I see myself doing a bunch of different things, but I see myself fitting this defense really well."

Playing in the box would be a bonus since the knock on him was his run defense wasn't strong, but he's saying he's going to give a big "F YOU" to all the haters and is going to be a complete safety!

He's acknowledging his weakness (real or perceived) and taking it head-on!
