Mizzou Quote of the Day
“We’re like little brother, big brother. I definitely took that in 2010 and I said, ‘Dude, I’m going to push you. I want to make you a better player, because in turn it’ll make me a better player.’ He said, ‘I love that.’ Everything we would do, the weight room, who could lift more, who can run to the running backs drills first, everything almost to annoyance was a competition.”Chase Daniel on Drew Brees
