“Everywhere he’s been, he’s kind of dominated. He can make plays in one-on-one coverage. He’s a big receiver. Even if he’s covered, he’s not covered. You can kind of throw it up there and he can make plays.”

“I’m sure they’ll incorporate him with a couple roles in the offense as the season goes on, as we get him up to speed, and we’ll see where that takes us. He’ll have his role. He’s a great football player, but in this offense everybody gets a chance to make plays.”

“It’s going to take a while. He’s probably not going to play this week. We’ll just see how it goes over the next week or two.”
