Everyone\u2019s not perfect, but I know and I\u2019ve seen, when he messes up a play, he gets down on himself more than any coach can really get down on him.

Like I said, just by making a mental error and he comes back to the sideline, and you care, you care if you made that mistake. That shows a lot right there. If you\u2019re getting mad about that, and it\u2019s only Day 3 and it\u2019s just one little play, I\u2019m good with that, because you give a s\u2013t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And players recognize real.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s one of them guys that once you get to really know him, once you\u2019re around him, you realize how down to earth he is,\u201d Xavier McKinney said. \u201cHe\u2019s a very likeable guy, somebody you love to be around.
