“[Unsure of himself as a rookie starter, Harrington seems far more relaxed this year and is helped by the similarities in his former and current coaches' West Coast sets.

It's hard to be accurate when you don't know where you're throwing. I feel better now, especially with the guys I have around me.”
Joey Harrington
