NORFOLK, Virginia -- The last time many Norfolk State fans saw Dionte Sullivan, he was being carted off the field at Dick Price Stadium, one of the scarier moments of the 2011 season.The next time they see him, the cornerback expects it to be more like Monday, when he made the first big play of a preseason scrimmage, an interception that was the day's only turnover.
"This is my chance to make a statement," Sullivan said. "That's what I've been trying to do since I got here - figure out how to make a statement, earn my place on the defense. I want to be the guy, like anyone should. The nickel spot is a good building block, especially the way last season ended."
Monday, after three consecutive three-and-outs for the offense, Sullivan, in perfect one-on-one coverage with DeAndre Sangster, came down with a jump ball. He also knocked another pass to the ground.
"It wasn't a bad throw," head coach Pete Adrian said. "Sully really made a play, he went up and got it. It's good to see that."
