I still think he's a 1, but this year will show. You watch him warm up — his legs are strong, but he's got a belly. He's not pretty like Josh Allen. His upper body is kind of just there. If his legs go, he might fall off quicker than other people think. What I'm saying is, getting in the best possible shape could be important for him over the second half of his career.
