He's going to be there, and he's going to be open.

There will be a massive jump for Mike this season.

I was hoping I was going to be back as soon as possible. Then they told me, before I got the MRI results back, that they thought it was an ACL tear and I would be out six months. I was pretty stoked when I found out it wasn't my ACL. I worked as hard as I could to get back.

He brought everything to the pinnacle.

I think if somebody would give him the opportunity today to be a top-three receiver on a team, he'd still be playing.

But Mike is a straight shooter, and this is probably as good of a situation as it could be. This is one of the rational, reasonable ways you would think it would have to come to an end.

When you're an elite athlete, it's a very special moment in time and you don't want it to end.

There's no way I would fill up our cars with gas once a week any more. We're not using a full tank of gas even once a month.

It'll come. When it does, that's when he'll be doubly dangerous.
