“It was definitely a goal of mine. It was a long training camp and it was a long rookie camp to go through as well. It's been a long time coming but I'm glad I have the opportunity to maybe play.”
Andrew Alberts
“This is not a rookie crew underground. So we're just trusting that their training and their mining instincts have kicked in immediately.”
Gene Kitts
“He's young, he's been to training camp, and he's comfortable with it. He's not the nervous rookie quarterback who is trying to adapt and learn while you're waiting for him to develop. He's very much ready to emerge in my opinion. I like his ability to throw the ball.”
Marv Levy
“There's definitely a lot bigger story lines than some rookie kid making his debut. It's nice that there's not a ton of pressure.”
Keith Ballard
“I think every ball player, as a rookie, wants to win the award. It wasn't my main goal, but it was something that I definitely wanted to accomplish, and it feels good to have it out of the way.”
Cadillac Williams
“We definitely had the rookie card to pull out, but we don't have that any more.”
Danica Patrick
“We definitely had the rookie card to pull out, but we don't have that any more. We just need to find a way to immediately get competitive because we've been struggling a little bit as a team.”
