"I'm not even that type of guy," Fowler said. "I'm not an (expletive). I'm not a bad guy. That was a bad decision that I made, and I learned from it. I really did learn from it. It's just something that I'm going to have to show you guys and really the community. I care about the community of Jacksonville. I care about the people that look up to me,Nike Air Max Shoes Sale, and really the kids.
Beads of sweat covered his bare chest, making his huge "Dreamer" tattoo difficult to read.
He beats offensive tackles routinely, even making Buccaneers veteran Demar Dotson look silly in one-on-one drills Monday. The victory provided some redemption for Fowler, who was stonewalled by Dotson so much during last year's joint practices that he lost confidence.
"I'm happy with his effort level," coach Doug Marrone said. "I think he gives good effort, and I think he's getting more quality snaps,Cheap Huarache Shoes For Men, meaning building on that, which is what you want to see from players. Now, the next thing we need is to just start getting the results, and they will come."
Fowler had trouble off the field, too.
He was exhausted, hungry and facing a full afternoon of meetings. He had his mom, dad and little brother in town to watch him practice against his hometown team (Tampa Bay) and a crowd of autograph-seekers chanting his name from outside a cast-iron fence. Fowler had plenty of reasons to hurry past the fans and into the air conditioning. Instead, he went out of his way Monday to make sure everyone waiting got what they wanted.

"I really don't like to say it, but that week kind of showed me how it was going to be last year," Fowler said. "I realized I was a raw pass rusher and that it's more than just athleticism. I have to use my hands; I had to get stronger with my bull rush. He was kind of better than me at the time. That's different now; I've been working really hard. I like how I feel physically and mentally."
Fowler has the ability to be a dominant pass rusher, and it's been evident through three weeks of training camp.
He also has a long list of traffic violations, including four speeding tickets in Jacksonville over the past two years.
Fowler had four sacks and 32 tackles last season, which was essentially his rookie year. He missed all of 2015 after tearing a knee ligament during his first minicamp. He worked his way back to be the opening day starter last fall,Kurt Warner Cardinals Throwback Jersey, but ended up getting benched in favor of rookie Yannick Ngakoue.
He insists his behavior and commitment have changed. He believes new veteran teammate Calais Campbell is helping him mature, and he's spending extensive time studying moves of All-Pro pass-rushers Khalil Mack and Von Miller. He has no plans to tone down his in-game antics — "I'm going to talk; that's just me" — but guarantees that his days of leading the league in "bone-headed penalties" are over.
"From now on, when people say my name, I want them to talk about a soft-hearted, good guy," he said. "A teddy bear off the field but a monster on the field. I don't need to be doing the monstrous stuff off the field."
"When they Google my name, I want them to see me making plays. I don't want them to see my mug shot. I don't want them to see me on TMZ and bad articles and news reports because that's really not me. I'm a loving guy and I have a huge heart for people. I'm human at times and I made a mistake and I can admit to that, too. But at the end of the day, when I went through that, I realized really what type of person that I am as far as being a pro,Cheap Air Max 90 Men Shoes, being a role model. I don't want to disappoint people that look up to me the most."
The same goes for his arrests.
He was arrested in Miami Beach in March 2016 and charged with misdemeanor counts of assault against a police officer and resisting arrest without violence. The charges were dropped in December after he completed a pretrial intervention program for first-time offenders. That arrest came a little more than two weeks after a video surfaced showing Fowler refereeing a violent fight between his girlfriend and an ex-girlfriend.
The 22-year-old Fowler was arrested July 18 in St. Petersburg and charged with simple battery and criminal mischief. He allegedly hit a 55-year-old man following an argument about Fowler's driving, knocking off the man's glasses and then stepping on them. Fowler then took the guy's grocery bag and threw it in a lake.
