Quotable: “Just the ways they can use me,” Hawkins said on the message from the coaches. “They showed me guys that they have coached and stuff like that. Napier said that I remind him of Jaylen Waddle and Gonzales said Kadarius Toney. I like it if you can get me in space. I was talking with the players like Ricky [Pearsall] and he was saying that he averaged like 20 yards a catch. That’s definitely important.”
