“His ability to run made him such a dangerous player. Whether it was designed runs or scrambles, he had the size, speed, and physicality to really hurt you whenever he took off running. He also proved to be extremely effective as a passer. He has good arm strength and showed good accuracy distributing the ball to many receivers. [Law] would be a completely different team without him.”
