Yeah I can see that. He definitely seems ready to step up and take the reins this year. He's been more vocal in the OTAs as well. And with everything he's been through this offseason and the way he handled it all, I think his teammates are looking at him as more of a leader too.

So from your post your saying he is NOW ready to step up and take the reins. If thats true he is just now doing so what has prevented him from taking the reins the past couple of years?

Could be confidence in himself from being in the same system for 2 years in a row and his overall experience level in the league after 4 years.

Could be him growing a pair after having to put up with trade rumors all offseason long.

Or maybe he just knows it's put up or shut up time and if he wants to be the long term guy here, he needs to step up and take what's his.
