ball biggest coming looked looks moved surprise threw
He just looks good. He looked accurate, threw the ball well, moved well. I think he was the biggest surprise there coming off this year, which was not the best.
ability guy moving understand
I think he has the ability to play much better than he has been. This is another guy who has to understand that he's now moving up a class.
grade guy picked seldom
Usually they're in the ballpark. Seldom do you have a third-round grade and the guy is picked in the first, and seldom do you have a second-round grade and he's picked in the sixth.
imagine passing reputation texas
I would imagine they are getting a reputation as a passing team. And Texas has a reputation now that they can go out and get anybody.
boat bosses guy happens learns life million next selling sells talent until
You can have the talent at one level, but when you get to the next level, it just doesn't happen. It's like the young guy selling insurance. One year, he sells $6 million of life insurance, and then his bosses say, 'Wait until he really learns how to sell.' But then he's got a boat and a country-club membership, and all of a sudden, he's not as good. That's what happens with players.
close guy might seen special
I think sometimes, when you're close to somebody, you might overvalue a person. And I'm close to Young. But I've seen what the guy has done. I just think he's a pretty special player.
ball depends looking needs particular side situation team
I think every situation is different. It depends on what that particular team is looking for, what side of the ball it needs help.

Hawk is a special guy. He's a throwback to an old-time football player and just a quality individual.

He's a Deion Sanders -type athlete. It seems like this guy can do everything, just like Deion did.
man surprised
That surprised me. When you look at him (on film) his man never makes a play.
competitor great guy hurt smart
I don't think being too smart can ever hurt you. All you have to look at is what kind of competitor he is. This guy is one of the great competitors of all time.
black running skiing special whether
He's got a special talent, whether he's skiing black diamonds, or running back kicks.
baker
How much does a baker make in Sweden?
almost backs colleges coming ends good question recruiting running signs soon speed tight true
Colleges are recruiting tight ends and running backs to play linebacker because you need so much speed now at the position. There are some good ones that will soon be coming out of college. There are signs that it's coming around, but right now there's no question that the true linebacker, like Butkus and Nitschke, are almost extinct.
