“For such a young age, his mentality to go out there every single week, just improve, do all the right things.
“And you can see his quality. It's special. So, I think we got to keep him humble, keep him working, but he's a special player.”

“But for him, he's going with the mentality every single week. And we just have such a good team, such a good group of players that we continue to push him.
“His ceiling is really high.”
