“He’s probably the fastest guy I’ve ever played with,” free agent signing Jonathan Allen told Dan Hoard. “And you see him paying attention to the little things.

That’s pretty high praise from a guy who played with Isaiah Rodgers (4.28 seconds in the 40-yard dash) in Minnesota last year and Marlon Humphrey (4.41 seconds) at Alabama.
