Boston College Training Camp Quotes
- Luke McLaughlin on being compared to Wes Welker: "“It’s hard not to look after those guys. Coach O'Brien coached Welker, so it's actually a lot of fun watching film on them, seeing what they do. As a smaller guy, you got to take advantage of your own skill set.”
- Omar Thornton on the defensive backs: “Those guys are legit. The guys in that room, starting from the safeties that everybody mostly speak about, they good. And the ones that’s not spoken about … who don’t have that top notch name yet … we gon’ be on the rise soon.”
- Luke McLaughlin on his camp so far: “It's been great. I think I took a big step in the offseason. It's my last ride, so putting it all out there. I spent a lot of time in the offseason on focusing on coverage more. Makes the game a lot slower for me, knowing the answers to the test.”
- Omar Thornton on the quarterback battle: “I wouldn't say I see no difference. They both great. They both good. Me as a safety, I don't care who's back there. I'm trying to, I just want the ball. … Whoever wins the job, I'd be happy for them.”
