"I'm a whole lot more comfortable than I was last year," Hawthorne said. "I moved over at the beginning of the season, and I had coaches in my ear at the same time I was trying to get to know the stuff. Now, it's like I've been playing it for a long time." Hawthorne isn't going to feel sorry for the quarterbacks. "I love the ball in my hands, so I'm going for it."
