He is very instinctive and a very smart football player. He is rarely out of position and that is the reason why he makes the plays he makes.

He brings a tough persona to our football team. And, he does not shy away from contact.

It makes no sense. Why is it that the No. 1 position of leadership and decision-making on a football team can be occupied by a person of color but the person on the sideline can't?

Rookie year, shoot. You try to come in here and play as a rookie and it is very tough. It takes time and experience to learn this defense. It is not only in the classroom but is also on the field.

He's just a good guide. He encourages us, but it's really what we put in to the workout.

We have seven pretty solid runners. No guys team here has ever made it to state.
