“I didn’t know he was this good,” Gruden said in a SiriusXM Radio interview. “He’s a powerful, explosive player. He can really run. He’s detailed in his work. He’s very smart. He knows both outside positions and special teams guys can’t get enough of him. Now he’s this good at wide receiver, I’m like ‘hey, hold back on special teams now.’ He has been, actually, one of our better players in camp.”
