“We haven’t had a lot of national games, and people kind of see him as a ‘shirt’ guy, but this guy can make all the throws inside the pocket, outside the pocket, and he’s quick,” Baker said on The Mina Kimes Show. “You see it on tape, he’s outrunning everybody all the time. … It’s definitely exciting, but it’s cool to just lay under the weeds and have him be that underrated guy, just kind of show who he is this year and throughout the whole season.”

“He’s kind of been in his bag this whole offseason, doing no-look throws and having a great offseason training camp,” Baker said. “K1, he’s going to run a little bit more. A little outside the pocket, inside the pocket throws. He’s going to kind of do it all. He’s going to get all his guys the rock.”

Baker added, “This guy can make all the throws inside the pocket, outside the pocket. He’s quick. You see it on tape. He’s outrunning everybody all the time. Even like that49ersgame, we’re in San Fran, he points out to the touchdown 40, 50 yards away, knowing he was going to score. I haven’t seen a QB do that.”
