Gruden on his impressions of the prospects group over the whole weekend:

First impressions of being around these young men: For the most part, out of the nine periods, I thought they gave us eight really good periods. Mistakes are always going to be made. What I like about mistakes when they are made is how you respond. I thought the response was outstanding by the whole group, which to me is the most impressive thing about the whole weekend.

Gruden on the team coming together and achieving some good results in the last two games:

Any good team — doesn’t matter what league — finds a way to make the third period their best.
