Last year, some of those guys kind of got their veteran status. They went through the trials and tribulations of a real good year and came up a little bit short, but they're a good, young team. We won't underestimate them.

I think he's handled the situation well. When you're a Rule 5 guy, it's almost to the veteran players like you're on scholarship. Sometimes I think that gets resented a little bit. He's handling himself real well. He was quiet when he first came up, kind of paid the respect to the veterans and then kind of slowly but surely kind of started showing his personality -- he's done a good job with that.

There were a lot of trials and tribulations he went through. He could have just quit. But he's still here. I'm looking forward to handing the ball off and seeing the different moves and seeing him be explosive and making big plays.

I believe in these guys, and I believe if you stay the course you get paid dividends. I believe it's better.

He has a good arm. It gets easier as you get to know guys and get a feel.
