I love the challenge of the game. I love the work. My goal right now is to have a season next year that will make people forget about this one. I'll use things like this for motivation. I'm pumped. I'm hungry.

You're never guaranteed about next year. People ask what you think of next season, you have to seize the opportunities when they're in front of you.

I hope that people like us next year like they liked us last year.

We're working on that for next year.

Is he going to be as good as he's going to be halfway through the season or next year? No. I mean, he's just a kid. He's just learning this stuff. But he should be ready to be productive and capable and able to make some plays for us in that game, whatever his role might be.

Once he is drafted, you never know what could happen. We'd obviously love to have him back for next year.
