"I think this is the best fit," Baker said.

"After the injury, Perk and I sat down. He's such a good you man, I asked him, 'What position do you want to play?' He said, "Wherever you want me to play, coach."

I said, 'No, Harold, what do you want to play?' Perk finally said, 'I think I'll be best at STAR.'

"I do that a lot with guys, because if they believe that's their best position, they will be most comfortable there.

"And he looks really comfortable out there. He can do it all. He can cover, he can blitz. He has a great range in zone. He's tailor-made for that job."
