‘“When you have a guy like Tremaine who is careful with his words, it carries a lot more weight,” said veteran linebacker Lorenzo Alexander. “Obviously the way he works, the way he carries himself around this building, the respect that guys have for him, when a guy like that speaks and says something, it means something. You sit up and pay attention. I’ve also been around some guys where it’s like, ‘Why is this dude speaking right now?’ Obviously, he’s far from that. He’s gained everybody’s respect around here, which is why I think it was so impactful when he spoke.”’
