“Yeah, that’s going to be interesting. I’m anxious to see the hire (as head coach). Who’s going to be the hire, right? And, you know, I called Shedeur’s first game this year, a preseason game. They played in Carolina. So I was actually there and watched him play. I spoke with a couple of people before the game from Cleveland, and they had high praise for the kid. Loved him, loved his attitude, loved everything about him. And they all said the same thing. It was like, ‘We just don’t think he’s ready yet, but we like him a lot as a person.’ That was one of the big things because he’s such a lightning rod.
“But, man, he can pass the football. That’s one thing that he can do. I think rush-wise, like any young quarterback, he doesn’t feel it sometimes. But I think that can come. He escapes out the back of the pocket sometimes, and that’s hard in the NFL. But, listen, he did a pretty good job this year.
“He’s got a chance. I tried to watch a couple of the games this year. Passing the football – he passes it. There’s two different types of quarterbacks, right? There’s a thrower, and there’s a passer. A thrower, usually those strong arm guys, they don’t know how to pass the football, where you can layer the football, you can manipulate some throws. And I think he has that. I believe he possesses it, because I’ve seen too many layered throws from him.”
