Mike's a player we've been waiting on for quite some time. He brings an element of speed to our team that's special for us. It showed up on another of plays. We got a chance to really see it on that kickoff return.
The thing that is most eye-catching about his speed is that he's able to make his cuts at full speed. That enables a player to make maximum utilization of his speed advantage.
Not so much more speed . . . but more confidence in making that cut and taking advantage of what was there,
He really stepped up during playoff time. Good teams have a lot of players that step up at that particular time. And that's as much a characteristic as size and speed is the ability to step up at those moments.
