He's a utility guy who is way too athletic and special to keep on the sidelines in my opinion.

The rub is, can we keep him if he doesn't win or at least share the QB job? That's a big question mark.

I don't think Bates will ever play safety.

Neither do I. I just mentioned that he's athletic enough to play there if needed.

That video of Knight is classic. Can you imagine Knight and Johnny playing golf together? They could make a sailor blush
