If you took football away from him, I don't know what he'd want to do with himself.

He's been in all offseason.

He's been lifting weights, him and Colston both, with our strength staff.

He's really, really excited to get a full offseason going and look to develop a bigger route tree.

I think you've got to gauge the pulse of the guys when we get back in the building, but I know us as coaches, we're going to be hyper-alert for any signs of that.

That is part of the thing.

I do know this, though.

It's been a long off-season in terms of you go downtown or you go somewhere and everyone's

Patting you on the back and telling you what a great job you did, you don't want to hear it.

It's going to continue to get harder.

They're going to feel that pressure from the coaching staff so that when we get to these games in the fall, that we're going to be ready for it.

I touched the ball before it went out, coach.

Alex.

Alex.

Good call.
