“Ike has played well. We started putting him on some of the premier guys (at wide receiver) because of his ability to match up size-wise and athletic ability-wise, and he's taken on the challenge. He's learning and growing tremendously.”
Bill Cowher
“Ike was open. I had to hold the ball a little bit longer for him to clear. It was a blitz. I just overthrew him, and they picked it off.”
Brian Griese
“Ike had a lot of talent, but he was very raw. We knew we would have to work with him on his technique and teach him the game.”
Darren Perry
“Ike might be following him around.”
Deshea Townsend
“Ike is a great corner. He can watch anybody.”
“Ike is honored the Steelers organization felt highly enough of his abilities to give him the high tender. Hopefully, this is a precursor to Ike doing a long-term deal with the Steelers this year so he can remain on a championship team.”
Scott Smith
“I was a sort of son to Ike, and it was the other way round with Kennedy.”
Harold Macmillan
“Had Ike been here, I don't know that we'd have lost a ball game. I don't know who would have beaten us.”
Rob Evans
“What we need is for each player to look at how Ike worked and progressed, ... He trusted our staff. He did the little things. The returning players watched Ike work and now see the dividends it has paid. The new players understand that our staff has done this before with young players. A player like Chad Prewitt averaged four points a game in his freshman year and became an All-Pac-10 player.”
“Now we're in search of three starters. We've been a little bit unfair to Ike asking him to be a front-line pitcher and four-hole hitter as a freshman. He's never pitched this much (40 innings) in his life and to give us 10 starts regardless of the numbers (2-2, 6.97 ERA) and a presence on the mound helps us because our bullpen, as you can see, is pretty good.”
