"I've been able to train with them [Farrell and Polster] since I was about 15, and they've helped me a lot. They've encouraged me to keep learning from my mistakes. Mistakes are just a part of it."
"It's a hard system that they run, so he's definitely like following a lot of No. 1 receivers," Buffalo Bills cornerback Taron Johnson said of Gonzalez. "... that's always going to be a challenge when you have to go against No. 1 receivers every single game."
