ā€œAnything that’s happening with him isn’t a surprise to me,ā€ McDaniel said Wednesday. ā€œIt would have been a surprise if it hadn’t, just because the day-in day-out work that I’m witnessing and the work that his teammates do and how his rapport is with them and all of that. But it doesn’t surprise me how he’s handled having some success because literally it has no distinction from when we first started working before game one in training camp and OTAs. And that’s awesome.ā€
