"I'm just so excited for him, and really the future, and what he brings to the table." -* Rich Gannon*

"I was just so proud of him to go wire-to-wire last year for the Raiders. He's taking shots in the chin, he's getting knocked out, but he's bouncing right back up, and he's learning and he's mitigating the mistakes." - George Whitfield

"They're getting a tremendous, tremendous leader. Just one of my favorites of all-time." - Seahawks Head Coach Pete Carroll

"I know from the perspective of the Raiders, [Head Coach Jack] Del Rio is the guy they wanted. He has the experience. He's had success in Jacksonville, the question is, what can you do going forward." - Mike Florio

"Playing with Derek [Carr] for three years, nothing surprises me. He makes all the throws. He has crazy arm strength. He's a great leader, and even better person." - Fresno State WR Josh Harper

"I think the term player's coach is used an awful lot, but I really think player's coach speaks to relatability. When he [Coach Del Rio] sits down next to you in the room, they think this guy, he may not be one of us, but he is among us." - George Whitfield

"I've got great respect for his body of work, and I think he will bring some toughness and some accountability to that locker room. I think the players will really respond to his leadership." - Rich Gannon
