“I was just sitting on the bench and he was like, ‘Yeah, I got your ball, by the way,’” a glowing Purdy said after the game. “And I said, ‘What do you mean?’ Because Tanner threw it in the back of the end zone. And he booked it — Trey went and got it. I’m like ‘Dude, you’re literally the best.’ For him to go and do that — he’s humble and I look up to that dude a lot.”

“The sacks I got when I was there in Houston, those were straight off playing with my length and being a good football player. But that full understanding to be a guy that can get seven-plus (sacks) consistently in his career, it takes a little more than going and running around a guy. You have to understand angles, attack point, stuff like that. Kris opened my eyes big-time, understanding me, understanding how to rush for me and not for anybody else.”
