Brandon Cooks is the definition of elite foot speed

I think it's probably Brandon Cooks, a receiver we have out here in L.A., and I actually trained with him for the combine. I thought he was fast then, but he's on a whole other level of fast and the definition of foot speed, extremely quick.

Brandon Cooks ran a 4.33 40-yard dash, confirming he is statistically one of the fastest players.

The Giants have to play Eli Manning again to let him get back to a .500 record

Now what sucks is now Eli's 116 and 117. You've got to play him again, though. You have to play him again. You've got to give him a shot to get back to 117, 117.

Eli Manning did play one more game after this (against the Dolphins) and won, finishing his career exactly at 117-117.

I would still bet on the Eagles to win the NFC East despite how bad they look

I still would probably take [the Eagles] to win the division, because they have a home game against the Cowboys, and they play the Redskins and they play the Giants. But if you had to ask me right now to put money on it, I think I'd still take the Eagles as bad as they've looked.

The Eagles won out, including beating the Cowboys, and finished 9-7 to win the NFC East.

Division winners should keep their home playoff games regardless of record

I like the fact that the Eagles could win the division at 7-9 and host a playoff game simply because we get to sit here and say, that's not fair. I like that if you win your division, you get a home playoff game, even if you're a terrible team. It just seems like one of those rules I don't want changed.

This is a subjective opinion on league structure.

Shaving your head and growing a beard is the only move for balding men

Shave it and grow a beard... my thing was, which I held onto it for a while... and I finally got... I found this barber... He goes 'Dude you need to just shave your fucking head.' That's, yeah, I think you're right dude. It's tough. I shave it. It was just, you know, bullied me into shaving my head.

Personal style advice is subjective.

I’m officially retiring from the NFL unless someone offers me a two-year, $15 million contract

I quietly, I didn't tell anybody I retired. Just didn't tell anyone... I guess you guys are kind of the first to hear it publicly... I've officially retired... [unless] two for 15 million. I'd be there in a heartbeat.

Bortles did not play in the NFL again after this announcement.

I threw between 3 and 8 touchdowns during Packers OTAs

I also got a new job. Yep. And green bay I threw and give or take four touchdown passes during the OTAs. So have you ever take, three to eight? You pick a number of all right. Somewhere in there under 10.

Bortles was with the Packers in May 2021. OTA stats are not officially tracked or publicly verifiable to this degree, but the wide range makes it likely accurate in his own memory.
