Kid is a total A+ package. We lucked out again... just like we did with Purdy. Says all the right things. Does all the right things. Oozes growing leadership skills. I just hope we can hang on to him prior to playing on Sundays.

I hope we go deep fairly regularly. I can't say when or how often, the coaches know far more than I. But we have the talent (thrower, receivers, blockers) now to do it.

The reward can be high (big play) and can also open up the underneath. The risk is acceptable (interception, roughly equivalent to a punt). I like Rocco's 'trajectory' (literally and his stats so far). It's exciting to see where this could go.
