"Dalvin is a terrific player because it doesn't matter to him. Obviously he wants to get 200 yards every week, but he's going to do all the dirty work. He caught a [third-and-10 and converted]. He made a couple guys miss on the flip play late. But he's going to do everything. That's why he's a captain. That's why he comes to work every single day. He's a terrific leader, he's energetic, and guys in the locker room really love him."

That's a big thing as a quarterback, whether it's Alex (Alexander Mattison) or Ameer, Dalvin, C.J. [Ham], whoever it may be, [Mike] Boone, say, 'Not only have you got to run the football, you've got to catch the football, you've got to know how to run routes and pass protect,' so it's a very diverse position in terms of what we're going to ask you to do in modern-day football."
