James Daniel On Jesse James: “He’s Grown Leaps And Bounds”

Jesse James is a 21 year player in his first year in the NFL. James Daniel is a 62 year old coach in his 22nd. So when the latter praises the former, you perk up.

“I think he has grown leaps and bounds. He has more confidence as a football player, confidence as a person. He is a guy that has come in and adjusted well to the surroundings,” James told Teresa Varley for Steelers.com.

James wasn’t able to get a helmet for the first eight weeks even when Matt Spaeth missed time early in the season.
