Like I said, for those guys, for them to speak on it.”
Also during the press conference, the quarterback was asked what Stefon and Christian are like as people and teammates.
“Stef, man, he means a lot to this team,” Drake said. “He’s breaking the huddle down before practice today. He’s chirping at me on the sideline to give him the rock. He’s pumping up the young guys when they make big plays. He’s blocking downfield. He gives off the persona of one of those guys that you just want to be teammates with.”
As for Christian, Drake added, “I love talking crap with B-More. He’s passionate about football, passionate about the game. He’s one of those guys in the locker room that you want to have rushing the passer. He loves quarterbacks, too, especially his own, but he loves getting after them. But really, I think those guys, personally, I think they just care about one another. They care about each other, and they care about this football team. That’s the biggest thing.”
More details have come to light after Stefon Diggs was initially charged.
