‘“There’s a lot of variables that they don’t take into account, so I’m sitting here playing for things that didn’t even matter. I’ve had time to grow and now it’s just doing my part and giving the best I can out there. I know, one-on-one, in my mind, nobody’s really going to cover me. As long as I know what I am, that’s all that matters to me. I don’t need numbers to really prove that.”’
