00:06 >> Yeah, there's a lot of similarities.
00:07 I mean, it was one of the things that I was intrigued with when I was watching Gibbs.
00:11 We were watching Gibbs, but there's, look,
00:15 certainly the ability to run the ball, not just perimeter.
00:22 You feel like perimeter, man, these things can go anywhere, but inside as well.
00:25 So inside zone runner, outside zone perimeter runner, but
00:29 then the things out of the backfield, there were similarities.
00:33 And Gibbs is doing a good job, but
00:36 he's got a long way to go before you get to that.
00:41 But we certainly like where Gibbs is at, but AK was a guy we had high hopes on.
00:47 We liked him.
00:48 Sean identified him early and knew he would just be a perfect fit for our offense.
00:53 And everything that Sean thought was dead on, and
00:58 he just took off and he took off fast.
01:02 And it got to the point where, and I know they're still this way,
01:05 we worried about giving him too much because he could take on so much.
01:09 He could absorb so much in the game plan and play multiple spots.
01:13 It was more about not wearing him out during the week to get him ready for
01:16 the game cuz you're asking him to do so much.
01:18 But Gibbs has got these traits, these qualities about him.
01:21 He's highly intelligent, he is explosive, he does have versatility.
01:27 So we're excited about our guy.
