Safeties coach Dan Hammerschmidt with a great quote on Jordan Sterns: “He always looks good. My issue with him is always going too much. When he leaves the field, he jumps out there, back pedals on the cement, runs out there and tackles poles … You’ve got to just slow him down and make him take a break. We’ve just got to keep him rolling. He’s always an effort guy, he’s tough, he’s a leader. My issue with him is just slowing him down.” [NewsOK]
