“All in all, I’m happy for him to be in the room,” Mostert said regarding Jaylen Wright. “I treat every rookie, [like] with [De’Von Achane] last year, I’m always going to try to show them the ropes first and give them my little pointers and help them out as best as I can.

“We just got off the field and … he was beating up on himself so hard. I said, ‘Don’t worry about it. It’s a marathon. It’s OTAs, we’re alright, you’re going to be good.

“I was telling the reporters, man, I’d take an 0-8 start to make it deep into the playoffs, right, and trying to get to that championship round. One of our biggest Kryptonites has always been that first round. That’s gonna be harped on this year. People are gonna say all these different types of things, but we can’t make excuses.”
