So, he’s just an awesome dude, all-around remarkable.He’s going to be really good for a really long time.”

Even with one rookie potentially on the opposing side of the ball during practice,the group maintains its cohesion. This shared experience fosters a sense of mutual support and understanding.
“We know we’re not in this thing by ourselves,” said Hancock. “We’re all going through this together, and it’s really good to have those people.”
