   He’s got a really good early command of the offense, and he’s doing a really good job in regards to that, there’s little things that he’s doing where you’re seeing a little more security.

He’s never had trouble grasping the offense, but he was a rookie, so he goes through it. He’s much further ahead at this point than he was a year ago, for sure.
