Quote of the day<\/h2>\n

\u201cAneyas for a young kid, just solid. You really watch him play in the game, and the way he attacks blocking, he\u2019s got elite ball skills. I can\u2019t remember what down it was, but it was a man defense, and I saw a middle linebacker run out with him. He catches a 40-yard pass. That was a big part of the game. So a ton of respect for him.\u201d<\/p>\n
