“A true competitor. Like, J.J. is one of the best competitors I’ve ever been around. And he is one of the best receivers I’ve ever been around, just in terms of how he plays down-in and down-out. J.J., I thought was as important as any receiver on our 2023 team. I believed if we won that game he would’ve been the MVP. And I think every time we’ve gone to him, no matter what the situation’s been, he’s always come through at a high level. And J.J. had guys ahead of him with [Washington Commanders WR] Deebo [Samuel Sr.] and [WR Brandon] Aiyuk for a number of years, but I thought he’s really who we went to on third down and the guy who was the most consistent for us in those ways. He’s gotten his opportunity with people not here as a number one receiver and like any guy who’s competitive, like J.J., he’s risen to that challenge and played like a number one receiver. So, ultimate respect for J.J.”
