“I’m just motivated to help coach Matt Nagy succeed, to help this organization succeed, to help these kids grow and develop. That’s what motivates me to do the best I can for this organization, for the McCaskey family, for Coach Nagy, for the players, to coach and help develop these guys. That’s all I want to do.”
