1. Dell Curry:

   We're doing things that haven't been done in our franchise for 25 years, it's crazy to think about, as the longest tenured Warrior, and I've seen the transformation from my rookie year to now. It's pretty special.

2. Fetty Wap:

   Even if the album don't go anywhere, that doesn't mean nothing to me, i did what most people said I wouldn't do. And I overcame, I guess you could say, a lot of rookie boundaries. I just shot past what a lot of people expected. Selling the album is what I'm supposed to do in the music industry, not what I wanted to do.

3. The Jets:

   There’s little things that he’s doing where you’re seeing a little more security. He’s not a rookie, so he’s being a little more vocal. He looks good. He’s getting more comfortable, obviously grasping the offense. He’s never had trouble grasping the offense, but he was a rookie, so he goes through it. He’s much further ahead at this point than he was a year ago, for sure.

4. Mac Jones:

   I think he’ll learn it very quickly. A lot of the things he’s doing in New England right now are things he did at Alabama, i think he’ll assimilate faster than any rookie would in a long time, and of course it gets down to this: his accuracy, throwing the football. That’s going to make him the guy.

5. Sakura Uchikoshi:

   My lack of name recognition is the bottleneck, male candidates have networks and ... the lack of that for rookie female candidates makes it difficult.
