"I think it's just a little bit of extra excitement for me, just a little bit more comfort, too, for whatever reason," Frederick told the media Thursday via SportsDay's Calvin Watkins. "Even at this point last year I was starting to feel things, and that's another added layer or anxiety and nervousness going into a camp. You always have that, no matter how long you play. You always have a little bit of anxiety about how things are going to work out, but for me this year, I just feel very at ease knowing I've been through what I have and all I have to do now is play football."
