I need to avoid this guy.

This guy's faster than I thought.

I don't think quarterbacks ever admit that.

I don't think they will ever admit that.

I think if he brought that up, he would never admit it.

But I really feel like that was one big improvement that he did, more of an instinctive thing where he just kind of realized, hey –

Is that why he looked faster this year?

Like, he did.

Like, I think the question was even asked of him during one of the, like, are you faster?

Well, I think it's more of a reaction thing and just knowing that he can get, you know, thinking.

You see it all the time where quarterbacks think they can get away from someone.

That's what I thought.

I think he realized it, but that's a totally different thing.

I think the idea that he has a gear that I think really makes him like when he's going for the sideline, he reaches a gear.

I think Dan touched on this one earlier at some point somewhere that like he has a certain gear that he has that doesn't show up at like the combine, you know, it just, you know,

That he's faster.

Now, he's not as fast as Justin Fields, but he seems to be when he's really being chased.

You know, I always say at the combine when they time guys, they should time guys with somebody chasing them because then you'll see how fast they really are.

Jerry Rice, they never knew how fast he was until they saw how fast he was when somebody was chasing him.

You know, the knock on him in the draft in 85 was that, you know, he didn't have great speed.
