Can you talk about what it’s like to prepare to go against a player like Patrick Surtain II?
You have to watch for tendencies and hope to catch him slipping. Such a shutdown corner he can really take away a whole side of the field. Very much a dark shadow that we tried to shine some light on and get some gains his way.
How has Haason Reddick’s experience in the league helped the team so far?
Being that veteran presence and leading young guys the way he should has really helped shape some of our younger talent. Can’t discount what his presence brings to the team and looking forward to retiring him in a jets uniform!
How quickly can you tell if a young player is a football player if he thinks about it because it seems like at the Combine they’re all saying the right thing and it’s the job. How quickly does it take?
Day 1. We always know as soon as the doors open and we can see the work ethic. And we have such a good veteran presence here that they have to fall in line and get to work no excuses.
