Mike Tomlin

And when you value those things, why not let guys be themselves?

Again, I was a bystander because I wasn't in draft position, and I remember specifically being at his pro day and around his pro day.

It was just so much more work for me to do with the multitude of others that were coming out.

I probably wouldn't give him a fair assessment, and that happens sometimes.

We had a place like Ohio State.

and there's so much to comb through in terms of the depth of the talent and the amount of talent.

I don't waste a lot of time on guys that I know realistically don't have a chance to come into our range, if you will.

Or how much of an emphasis is or importance is to... I'm certainly not opposed to getting off to a fast start, but a fast start or a slow start doesn't ensure us of anything, positively or negatively.

And I just think that we understand that

but you still don't want to minimize the importance of bursting out of the locker room in a single elimination tournament.

We had a big guy, and so we needed a big guy, and very few come bigger than Cam.

He's had a special career.

It needs no endorsement from me.

He displays why it's special not only every weekend but every day.

He is a stealer through and through.

He just is.

I just saw him a few minutes ago in there taking care of himself, getting ready for the week.

He cares hard.

He's got big shoulders.

He wants the responsibility of leading.
