first and second round CB picks, Terrion Arnold and Ennis Rakestraw are already best buds in rookie minicamp. This is Arnoldโs response to his confidence in being a go-to guy in the secondary.
Wow.

@sione_vaki
is special... (hand to heart special). Holmes says he's never seen a prospect go through 4 position workouts in front of scouts before and calls Vaki the best ST player in this past draft.

Coach Dan Campbell says one of the first things he thought about on the plane after the Giants win was how loud Ford Field will be with his team returning home on a three-game win streak on Thanksgiving. โItโs going to be on fire.โ

Anzalone talking up Jamo. Goff praising Anzalone. Buggs cheering on Craig Reynolds. Hutch wearing a shirt with Goff and ARSB on it. This whole team loves each other so much. ๐ฅบ

"Heโs like Mr. Misunderstood. Itโs just so great to see him make that play. I hear the outside noise for him and I just know that it just makes me so proud to see him do that. Thatโs my guy. I love him."

LB Alex Anzalone on Jameson Williams
No one's played more football with Jared Goff than Josh Reynolds and it showed early on Sunday. What a moment for those two. Both finding their team after beginning their careers together in LA. ๐ซถ

RB Coach Scottie Montgomery says David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs were both yelling over his shoulder at Craig Reynolds, who wanted a break Sunday, to stay in so he could score his first NFL TD. Reynolds told me this week he was gassed, thatโs why the celly lacked ๐

"I made it to the NFL, big Whit."
Lions rookie Derrick Barnes ran up to Whitworth at the end of their Week 7 game.
And put everything into perspective.

Coach Campbell was so distracted by the FANS IN FORD FIELD DOING THE WAVE that he couldnโt hear the play call from Ben Johnson on the throw to Penei on 3 and 7 and looked up and saw Goff throwing to Penei ๐๐๐ Yโall we have to work on distractions while

Rookie Aidan Hutchinson now with 9.5 sacks on the season. I don't know what more you could want production wise out of the kid from from Michigan.

CBS broadcast shows Diggs INT appeared to hit the ground on the way down and probably would have been overturned if it was replayed, which it should have been.

WR Jameson Williams could be "frustrated" with his lack of targets after coming back from his ACL rehab, but this guy is all smiles when he's talking ball ๐ฅบ Excited to see his opportunities increase whenever that is.

I'm a huge fan of how self-aware
@CGJXXIII
is. He hasn't said a thing that his coaches haven't. Defensive staff told me CJ gets everyone going. You have to either match his energy or exceed it, or you'll back down to it. Also told he holds teammates extremely accountable.
@Lions
Rookie LB Jack Campbell just gets it. He goes in-depth about his on-field communication and how he approaches leading the defense from that standpoint.

@BradGalli
asked Coach Campbell for his thoughts on this JG quote today and it was the only question that left him a little speechless and choked up. These guys mean the world to each other.
