affected couple days definitely prove
Derrick definitely affected all of us. The first couple days of practice, when he didn't know anybody, he wanted to be the first to go into a drill. He wanted to prove from day one he was the best. He made me better.

People can't recognize my face unless they are super diehard like they do with Derrick or Justin. If I say I'm No. 3, then people know who I am.

Once Mike got comfortable he started hitting the deep passes, and we started picking them apart. It was definitely a big confidence thing. People saw what we can do.

When you bring in guys like Derrick and Justin, they are going to be the first guys mentioned because they have credit from high school. People know they can be successful at the next level.
came freshmen good might run saw sets special
When the freshmen came in and we saw how good they were and we started to run a lot of three- and four-receiver sets in practice, that's when we started to think that this might be a special year.
