Josh Gordon: 'I give 100% in practice'

Josh Gordon has defended his performances during training camp practices with the Cleveland Browns.

TheMMQB.com had claimed that the wide receiver showed a "lack of urgency" during practice drills earlier in the off-season.

The 22-year-old told the Akron Beacon Journal: "I mean certain people see different things when they look at me run or look at me move.

"It might look slow because I'm a little bit larger to play at my position. So it might be a little bit deceptive, hard to look at it. It looks like, compared to everybody else, a little bit shorter strides, shorter movements, but I go out here 100% every day I come out here."

Gordon will miss the first two games of the 2013 season after breaking the league's substance-abuse policy earlier this summer.
