Key Quotes from Jerrod Johnson interview

"To the young guys, being in the NFL is a flat out job. Everything is scrutinized. The more they pay you, the more they expect from you."

"Johnny is physically a first round talent. I think he needs to be in situation where they let Johnny be Johnny."

"The system has been proven over the years. The offense will be there when Johnny leaves."

"If the coaches expectations and Johnny's expectations don't add up, I think that can be a bad situation.  There has to be a marriage between the two of them."

"I think all three quarterbacks (Joeckel, Hill, Allen) have interesting skill sets.  I have faith in this coaching staff and faith in this system. The offensive production will be there. It won't be like how Johnny does it, because he's a once in a lifetime talent, but I still think it will be one of the most successful offenses in the country no matter who's playing quarterback."

"I think, collegiately, Kyler Murray is going to be successful. The best thing to happen to him was throwing 45-60 times a game as a freshman in high school.  He's taken double amount of game reps as any quarterback his age has in the country."
