The player explains how facing varied bodies and alignments hones alertness to protections and blitz recognition, while conceding there are cleanups left to make as practice impresses with progress.

The discussion turns to multi-purpose backfields and testing mismatches, naming McCaffrey, Gibbs and Robinson as blueprints for versatility.
