“I can give you a little funny yesterday at lunchtime. One of the plays we ran yesterday, we had Jimmy (Graham) on a linebacker, and usually that’s a pretty good matchup with Jimmy out there one-on-one. I think all of us would maybe throw him the ball. And one high safety. And Justin (Fields) was out there and he went the other way. He didn’t throw it to him.
“So in the middle of practice, Jimmy came over to me and he said, ‘Hey man, when I’m over there, give me that ball. You know, you throw me the ball.’
“When we were in meetings yesterday, we were telling the quarterbacks, ‘Hey listen, guys, you’ve got a guy, tight end, he wants that ball. When you’ve got No. 57 on him, he wants that ball.’ And so the quarterbacks took it in.
“So we get to dinner last night and Jimmy and Justin are crossing paths and Justin walks by and tells Jimmy, he says something to the fact, ‘Hey man, when you’re out there, you’ve got to get open.’
“And Jimmy just looked at him, and was just like, ‘Did this little young buck just tell me to get open?’ And Justin just walked away and just had the biggest grin on his face as he said it.”
