I consider he doesn’t try to modify into a person, a quarterback into who they’re not. He just lets them play their sport. Jalon Daniels, I look at him participate in. I feel me and him form of perform the identical way. He’s a playmaker. I feel which is what I am much too. He’s not likely to adjust any mechanics, he’s just going to educate me the offense. When it is my change to play, he’s likely to place the plays in that most effective healthy me. He’s not likely to transform everything I do or anything like that.”
