"He's a guy that Stidham trusts," Malzahn said. "He's a real versatile guy, too. He's not just a receiver. I mean, he can do a lot of different things.... He gives the offense a lot of flexibility. And he's improved too. Last year was his first rodeo, and there's nothing like experience."

"I think he'd lost a little bit of that confidence in himself and I feel like he has regained that," receiver Ryan Davis said. "I feel like his teammates keep encouraging him, keep him uplifted. He's put the work in. He knew what he needed to work on as well. Just having that confidence and swagger about him; if you do drop a pass or you do mess up an assignment, you can come back and bounce back from that. Now it's him just consistently catching the ball and making plays."

"It's a bigger target for (Stidham) to throw across the middle and things like that," Davis said. "It's a mismatch problem as well going against shorter linebackers or even nickels and safeties. It's kind of a mismatch and you can still throw fades in the slot because he's a big body/back shoulder type of guy. It brings a different element and it's a bigger target for Jarrett."

"Sal's a great player, has great talent, has great upside, he has size," Davis said. "... I know he's definitely put a lot of work in this offseason; I put in some work in with him as well. He's taking that next step and just being more consistent. I feel like he's taken that next step forward, being able to be on the field more. He's earned that. I'm proud of Sal, where he's at right now."
