Steve came in as a hungry rookie and even as a first-round pick he came in as hungry to succeed as I did when I came in as a rookie free agent who was just trying to make the team.

Unbelievable. He has two national championship rings. First year (in the NFL), he goes to a Super Bowl and a Pro Bowl. He's one of these guys that can handle it and he just takes it all in stride and knows what it takes to get here.

Kyle's got to be it. You take a rookie fourth-round pick and just throw him in. He made plays when he had to; he managed the offense. You can't play quarterback, not make plays and win games. He made a lot of good plays. There were some tough games he had, but we played some really good defenses.

It was kind of unsaid, but we wanted to eliminate the buts.

He's a smart, smart guy. He studies hard and that's what separates him from the other guys.

It was like I had motion sickness out there. I came back [to the locker room] at halftime. I asked the trainers, and they said it happens sometimes. It's like hitting your funny bone.
