  The 6-foot-1, 220-pound senior says he learned that he was playing with the injury longer than he knew. "I never really played fully healthy, but I didn't know I wasn't healthy," he said. "Now it's a big difference. "It feels great to put everything at rest and prove I'm the best. I feel like I came back better than last time. I'm a better player this year." As good as Calvin felt on the inside, those on the outside were cautiously hopeful as they watched him return. "I was holding my breath with him until I saw him get into some tackles and contact in practice," coach Mike Gundy said. "I was hoping he would be there tomorrow and push through it, and he's done well." Now nearly six weeks into preseason practices, coaches and teammates are raving about Calvin's play.

He stands to bring an extra element as a pass rusher to the linebacker group that includes a pair of starters - Amen Ogbongbemiga and Malcolm Rodriguez - who had over 100 tackles apiece last season. "I was hoping Calvin could come back and play, for him more so than for the team," Gundy said. "As a coach, it's just tragic when you see a young man who can't compete anymore who still wants to play the game. "I'm really excited for him. His attitude, his posture and his demeanor over the past two months has been fabulous. He's smiling again. I'm just happy that he gets to get back on the field, because he loves to play football." The time away from the game reminded Calvin of that. "It convinced me that this is what I want to do until I can't do it anymore," he said. "I want to play football." - Daily Oklahoman
