NFL Trade Rumors
Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury is expecting QB Jayden Daniels to take another step forward in his second season.
“[Y]ou can see the comfort level was there this year,” Kingsbury said, via PFT. “I mean, just watching him move around, he’s not thinking as much, he’s playing fast, and letting his natural gifts kind of take over, and that’s what we want to see. So, I expect him to take a big jump.”
New Cowboys DE Solomon Thomas signed with Dallas this offseason after growing up a fan of the team in Coppell, Texas. Thomas spoke on his homecoming and the passion the other players have been showing from the start.
“It’s been awesome, it’s been really cool just being part of the team. Being home for me has been awesome,” Thomas said, via Tommy Yarrish of the team’s website. “Coach Schotty has been doing an amazing job just getting the energy right and culture right here.”
“Guys are excited every day, there’s enthusiasm every day, it’s feeling like a family. I’ve only been here like a few weeks, but being around the team everyone feels close, it’s a very college like atmosphere.”
Heading into year nine, Thomas is tapping into his veteran mindset to help the team.
“I would say my biggest strength as a player mentality wise is my leadership and my intensity. I’m a guy who how I do one thing is how I do everything. I’m going to go hard every play, I’m going to practice extremely intense, run to the ball every play, I’m going to showcase my leadership through effort and action.”
