He’s poised. He’s able to get the ball around and spread around. He can do all the things that we described when we first met going way back to the [NFL] Combine, talking about what we were looking for, what we had to go get. I wasn’t taking shots at anybody when we said it the first time, I know we took it that way, but realistically is having the ability to get a quarterback in here that’ll absolutely deal to all of the guys that we have, all the different talent that we have, whether it’s Drake [London], whether it’s Kyle Pitts, whether it’s [Darnell] Mooney, whether it’s Bijan [Robinson]. He’s just a play maker. Last week, he showed us he can run a little bit, better than we thought, particularly at the beginning of the season, and he’s been able to go out there each week and get better and better. I am so proud of him. More importantly, I’m more proud of his leadership that he’s been able to show throughout the whole process. Whether it’s been in his quarterback room or spread throughout the team, I think it’s just been awesome.”
