He continued to say, “With the meetings, the extra work, just helping me to be prepared so I can go out there and play fast. You know, the very first game we played San Francisco at San Francisco. The first play of the game, the ball was thrown my way and it’s just been — they’ve instilled confidence into me. And I’m at a loss for words. I’m just trying to enjoy the moment.”
