The thing I like about Roms is that he is a humble kid. With that humility comes a little bit of perspective, which I am going to improve every day. Overall, he is really a great kid. He is big. Am I need to change Dave’s nickname because this kid might be the new baby dragon? He is flying around in the field. We are going to pin our expectations on him,” adds Rodgers.
